Chasing Love After Divorce His Ex Wife
GENERAL"I welcome you all to the most anticipated unveiling ceremony of the Alexandra's Conglomerate." The host's voice reverberated across the hall. Men and women of class and elite families trooped into the event hall, dressed in their best dresses. The decoration of the hall screamed luxury and exquisite. You don't need to be told before you know that they are worth fortunes.Reporters were seated at a side of the hall, clicking their cameras but not moving to the guests because they had been warned to do whatever they wanted in the corner provided for them unless they wanted to be sued.Ryan and Jasmine sauntered into the hall with their arms locked. Their eyes flickered briefly, astonished by what they were seeing. "Fuck! This isn't a wedding ceremony, but it looks heavenly. Just how wealthy is the Alexandra's?" Jasmine gasped, her eyes broadening with satisfaction and admiration. "I made the right choice to be here today," she whispered. "Maybe I can see great Alexandra himse
Chasing Love After Divorce Slap In The Face
GENERALRyan and Jasmine couldn't believe their eyes and ears, especially when Gerald confirmed that the woman standing in front of them was indeed Lexi, the same woman he divorced and chased out of his house."How the fuck did this even happen? How did Lexi become the daughter of Alexandra? How did she become superior all of a sudden?" Different questions sprouted in Jasmine's head. Her hands trembled rigorously as she grabbed the side of her dress, snapping her teeth. Her face was reddened, and irritation swirled in her stomach. "This got to be a dream. This has to be a dream. This mustn't be Lexi," she said in between gritted teeth.The fact that she looked hotter, sexier, and more beautiful caused thousands of needles to pierce into her heart. She was a lot better than when she was still in Ryan's house, where she was tormented."Are you fine, sir? Do you need some water?" Gerald rushed to the side of Ryan, who had reclined on the chair due to the shock he just witnessed. He took
Chasing Love After Divorce Lick My Legs
LEXI "LICK IT!" I ordered coldly. My eyes were void of emotions, so it was difficult for anyone to know what was running through my head and mind at the moment. Jasmine's and everyone else's eyes broadened with disbelief. "What!" Ryan and Jasmine spurted out, shocked. I could say that I loved the expressions they made. I felt like a conqueror, and that almost made me erupt in laughter. "You heard what I said. Lick the mess you made to my legs," I commanded, and another gasp filled the room. The other guests had stood up at this moment, and the reporters kept clicking on their cameras nonstop. Glancing around and realizing that we'd garnered a lot of attention, Donald rushed to my side and whispered into my ears, "What are you doing, Miss Lexi? All eyes are on us right now. Can't you just let it go? It was a mistake, and she has apologized." With a slight tilting of my head, I sent him daggers with my eyes, and I saw his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed hard. Ignor
Chasing Love After Divorce Inexplicable Anger
RYANThose eyes. Those eyes were void of emotions. She lacked empathy for me or Jasmine. It was as if I was seeing another person. I couldn't believe that Lexi could be so heartless. She really let Jasmine lick her legs? Well, that was what she deserved since she let her envy get a better part of her. I trusted Lexi's words. Jasmine intentionally poured the drink on her body. I knew how much she hated Lexi.But why wasn't she giving me an audience? Why was she so cold to me when all I wanted to do was apologize? Is it really over between us? I placed my hands on my waist as I watched her car drive away. How did everything happen? I still find it hard to comprehend."Ryan! Where the fuck are you? Oh... This is where you came to hide while I was being embarrassed by everyone in there." Jasmine shouted, stomping her feet toward me. Her veins were popping out of her skin due to her anger. Seeing her face made me nauseated. It made me remember that she was the one who created a humiliat
Chasing Love After Divorce Lunch With Donald
LEXI "Good morning, President Lexi." The employees I met on the way greeted me as I brushed past them. It was a new day, and I had to resume for the day whether I wanted to or not. The most annoying part about working is the fact that you wouldn't be able to rest as much as you want. "Oops! I miss the old days," I mumbled as I stepped into the elevator. Before I could click on close, Donald appeared and bowed curtly. "Good morning, Lexi... Uhm! Miss Lexi," he muttered with a smile. "Good morning, Mr. Donald," I responded, smiling back. The scenes from the previous day replayed in my head, and I couldn't help but feel bad with the way I embarrassed him in the presence of the guests. Tugging on the side of my dress, I continued, "You... You don't need to use honorifics when we are together." I earned a surprising glance from him at the statement. His brows raised in a questioning manner. I knew he must be wondering if I was fine. That was all I could do to dissipate the lump o
Chasing Love After Divorce Her Anger
LEXI"What the fuck is happening here?" I questioned, walking toward the gate where Ryan was arguing with the security guards and was trying to forcefully gain an entrance.The guards holding Ryan back released their grips on him the moment they heard my voice. Turning, they gave curt bows and muttered, "We are sorry for the noise, President Lexi." Ignoring their pleas, I darted a quizzical glance over Ryan, a part of my brows raised in a questioning manner. "And what is happening here? Why is he screaming in a working environment?" I questioned.Donald had stopped beside me, and he could recognize Ryan at first glance. "Oh! Mr. Ryan," he called."This man is trying to enter the company." One of the guards let out, causing my questioning gaze to deepen. And why were they stopping him from entering? This is a company, and it's open to everyone; you don't need an invitation card to enter unless you want to see the CEO, which I doubted was his intention."And so? Why are you stopping hi
Chasing Love After Divorce Forget about her
GENERALNo matter how Donald thought about it, he found Lexi's attitude toward Ryan strange. It was as tough as they knew each other before the unveiling ceremony, yet Lexi kept insisting that she had never seen him before. But what could explain the attitude she portrayed a few seconds ago?Putting a hand on his waist, Donald pinched the space between his brows and sighed. "I am so sorry, Mr. Ryan. President Lexi wasn't in a good mood before we saw you downstairs. I am really sorry for the attitude she portrayed," Donald pleaded, and that only irritated Ryan.What is his business with Lexi, his wife? Why does he keep going everywhere with him? Aren't they just colleagues?Ryan chuckled, suppressing the irritation sizzling in his belly. "It's fine, Mr. Donald. I deserve it and more. If she's going to give me an audience at the end, I'm ready to withstand any hardship she throws at me," Ryan let out, causing Donald's brows to raise suspiciously. He couldn't comprehend Ryan's statement.
Chasing Love After Divorce Terrified
GENERAL With anger surging in his belly, Ryan grabbed Casper by his collar and pulled his face closer to his. "Repeat that again and you are going to regret messing with me," Ryan treated in a hoarse, fierce voice, piercing his gaze into Casper's. With an unwavering spirit and fearlessly, Casper glared back without blinking. He scoffed, slapped Ryan's hands away from his collars, and adjusted his shirt. "I said what I said, bruh. Deal with it. Lexi will never come back to you. Did you forget the shit this woman went through in your hands? Not just you. Emily and your mother also did worse. Only a fool would try to go back to the same place she was treated like a doormat," he spewed, ignoring the aggressive expression on Ryan's face. At this moment, Ryan hated himself so much. He couldn't deny that Casper was saying the truth. Only a fool will go back to the same place she was devalued, but can't Lexi be a fool for him? He really wanted her back. He missed her so much. He was the on

Chasing Love After Divorce The Challenge
RYANLike a madman, I zoomed off to Jasmine's house. Thankfully, it was already dark and safer to break the traffic rules without having to pay any fines. I was able to reduce the journey from fifty minutes to thirty minutes because of the speed I drove the car. I dashed out of the car and stormed toward Jasmine's door without closing the door of the car.Impatiently and angrily, I thumped on her door. I could hear a response from inside, but that wasn't what I wanted. I need to see her horrible face and teach her a lesson she will never forget in a hurry.Again, I punched her door fiercely. Another response came, but harsher this time. Just as I was about to knock on the door one more time, the door opened and an unfamiliar face came into view. Her expression was hard, but it instantly became soft when she saw me.For a reason, I could discern that this person knew who I was because why would her expression change the moment she realized I was at the door? But I didn't even know he

RYANI am tired. I am really tired of the constant trouble I have been fighting with ever since Lexi returned to the country. If it wasn't this, it would be that. There hasn't been a day of resting. Either I am dealing with this or with that.Just when I thought Lexi was warming up to me, dirty news was revealed on the internet about us. My pictures and our pictures have been flying all over the Internet, and Lexi didn't want to believe that I wasn't the one behind them. Yes, I wanted her. Yes, I wanted my company back, but I wouldn't stoop so low to do something as embarrassing as that. She didn't believe it. I could see the disappointment and pain in her eyes as she looked at me. The last time I saw this was four years ago when she signed the divorce papers. I could remember those eyes because they had been engraved in my head ever since. "Whoa! I don't think you can ever win her back," Casper let out, taking the cocktails from the bartender who was standing in front of us and pu
Chasing Love After Divorce The Scandal II
GENERAL"Are you sure this will work?" Jasmine asked, worriedly, glancing at the news headline and reading comments under the blog posts. Emily chuckled, "That shouldn't be a question. I am one hundred percent certain it has worked. My brother must be on a hot seat right now," she let out with a dark smirk."I am just scared. What if they find us out?" Jasmine mumbled, tossing her phone on the couch and settling beside it.Emily was shocked by Jasmine's behavior. The lady she had always wanted for her brother wasn't a coward. What happened? What caused her change? "I didn't know you to be a coward, Jasmine. I have always known you to be brave. How would they even find out that we are behind the pictures flying over the internet? They're not going to know, my dear," she explained, hoping to relieve Jasmine's tension.Despite everything Emily said, Jasmine was still terrified. Her heart beat faster and it almost jumped out of its position. She put her thumb in her mouth and nibbled on

GENERALLexi's grip on Donald's phone tightened as she read the news on his phone. The news headline says, "Alexandra Lexi and Ryan Middleton set to walk down the aisle as they got engaged yesterday in Korea." There was a picture of them at the hotel when Lexi was drunk and stumbled over Ryan's body. The angle the picture was taken made it seem as though they were in an intimate position. Lexi's eyes darted between the phone and Ryan. Her eyes darkened as inexplicable irritation swirled within her. It was glaring. It didn't need to be investigated. Ryan was the only person who could gain access to the photos because he was the only one who knew about what transpired between them aside from her. She snickered bitterly inwardly. She couldn't believe that he could be this desperate. This was the same man she had a plan of returning his position to when they returned to England. Meanwhile, Donald was brewing with anger where he was seated. Even though he was trying his best to suppress
Chasing Love After Divorce Back From Korea
GeneralKoreaLexi descended from the cab, wired the money to the driver, and scurried into the hotel. She walked fast as though she was chased by some people. Getting into her suite, she locked the door and rested her back against it. Scoffing, her breath became deep and rapid. She couldn't believe what happened at the hospital."Am I a fool?" She asked nobody in particular, her chest hurling up and down. She let go of the door handle, sauntered to the bed, and collapsed onto it, sprawling with her arms widely spread while she faced the ceiling. Staring blankly, she rested a hand on her chest, and she listened to the way her heart was beating rhythmically.Blinking, she asked rhetorically, "What is wrong with me? Do I have a terminal disease? It cannot be that I am still in love with Ryan, right?" Frustrated by her unanswered question, she hissed and punched the air a few times. She blamed herself for allowing her emotions to take over. She blamed herself for going to the hospital
Chasing Love After Divorce Plans Failed Again
GENERALPresident Alexandra and Madame Alexandra were seated in the living room when Jasmine walked in, with Mr. Ricardo, his PA, beside her. Mr. Ricardo bowed curtly and strolled away when they got to the living room.As soon as Madame Alexandra saw Jasmine, she stood up and closed the gap on her. "And what were you talking about? What was that shit you were clamoring all about?" She asked, swaying an irritable and hateful gape over Jasmine, who was terrified for a moment when she saw the wealthiest man in the country for the first time. That man—she had always seen him on TV. His aura and demeanor were as strong as it was on V; in fact, it would be safe to say that it was stronger. "Cat got your tongue? Don't you have a mouth?" Madame Alexandra yelled, exasperated that Jasmine didn't respond to her question. "Abigail! President Alexandra called his wife's name, which was unusual of him. The woman's body froze, but she knew what he was trying to imply. He just indirectly told her
Chasing Love After Divorce War
GENERAL Jasmine glanced at herself in the full portrait mirror and smiled widely, satisfied with the way she had dressed. Her outfit was perfect for her outing. Since it was more like she was going to a war, it was better she dressed like a warrior. Taking her bag, she wandered out of her bedroom and met Gina on the way. "Good morning, ma'am. Breakfast is ready. Should I serve it already?" She asked, darting her gaze over her. She wouldn't be surprised if her boss flared up at the question. She had become used to her mood swings and her bad temperament. As expected, Jasmine didn't find it funny and growled exasperatingly, "And so? Did I tell you that I'm hungry this morning, or is food the only thing you can think of? Is that the only thing your empty skull could install?" Gina dropped her head and mumbled, "I'm sorry, ma'am. Forgive me, ma'am." She knew better than anyone not to argue with her unless she wanted to put herself in deeper trouble. Swaying an irritable gaze over her
Chasing Love After Divorce On The Hospital Bed
GeneralThe kissing started slow and languid, but as they got engrossed in it, the kissing intensified, and it became rough and aggressive. It was as though they had been denied it for years. Or maybe it was true. They nibbled on each other's lips hungrily, their hands roaming all over one another's body.They both knew it was wrong. Lexi knew that she might regret it. Her brain was telling her to stop, but she couldn't. She just didn't find herself stopping what she had started and tasted. Maybe it was because it had been long since she kissed someone; she found herself craving more as the kissing deepened. She wanted more. More than kissing and touching.She stopped thinking about her regrets. She stopped chiding herself to stop. Since it had happened, she could as well enjoy it to the fullest and just pin the blame on Ryan when they were done. At least she would be satisfied.Her hands moved to his chest, and Ryan's body trembled as her fingers rubbed his nipples, tickling him and

GENERAL "What! Jasmine exclaimed, springing up from the couch. She clenched her hand on the phone she was holding in her ear as anger coursed through her like fire on dried leaves."We are sorry, ma'am. A man appeared from nowhere, and he was crashed into instead of our target." The man on the other side of the phone explained to her, but she wasn't having it. She had been thinking about the task she gave the men in Korea. Her instinct had told her something would go wrong, but she decided to clear her doubt by giving them the opportunity, and this happened. Who was the fool who saved Lexi? Why did she keep getting help anytime she tried to attack her?"You are so incompetent. I am such a fool for trusting you guys with such an important task. I want my money back right now. You have five minutes to refund my money back to me, or else you wouldn't like it if I came to that side myself." She threatened, gritting her teeth and seething with anger. She would have pounced on the incomp
