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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 Back To Work
LexiDriving into the car park, I turned off the ignition and stepped out of the car. I walked into the elevator, and a ding sound ripped through the air as it reached the floor where my office was located. The moment I stepped out, a loud sound filled the air, startling me and causing me to take a few steps backward. Widening my eyes to look in the direction of the sound, I realized that it was a party popper. Before I could comprehend what just happened, I heard, "Welcome back to work, President Lexi. And congratulations on your recovery," my staff said in chorus, and that was when I saw everyone's faces. Aside from the staff from other departments, the office area is filled with staff from the Presidential Department.My heart tingled with admiration and excitement. I loved that. They all clapped their hands afterward. Donald sauntered out of their midst, holding a bouquet of red roses. "Welcome back to work, Lexi," he mumbled, handing over the flower to me.I narrowed my gaze as
Chasing Love After Divorce My Woman
GENERAL"Can you hear me?" Lexi asked again when he didn't answer her previous questions. She stood up and held his arm, her brows raising and her eyes widening.Since he couldn't talk because of the oxygen fixed in his nose, he blinked his eyes and nodded to her question.At the same time, Zoe and Emily ran over and intentionally pushed Lexi away. Thankfully, she was able to maintain her composure with the help of the bed. She knew the two witches were just trying to frustrate her and make her act like a madwoman, but she would forgive them today and deal with them another time."My son!" Zoe called. "Brother!" Emily spurted out, holding his arm. The duo smiled, looking at Ryan, whose gaze was focused on Lexi."How are you feeling?" Zoe retracted her gaze from him and moved it to Emily, "Go and inform the doctor that he's awake," she ordered.Nodding, Emily left the room and returned almost immediately with the same doctor who attended to Lexi. As soon as he saw Lexi, his brows cre
Chasing Love After Divorce Lazy Ryan
GENERALAnger coursed through Zoe's veins as she heard what Lexi said. It was as though she was slapped hard in the face. Her face turned crimson red with lines of anger scribbled on her facial features. She gritted her teeth and took steps forward. "What! What did you just say? How dare you call me by my name?" She shouted, her veins popping out due to anger.Lexi chuckled nonchalantly, "What was I supposed to call you with? Your daughter's name? Zoe is your name, so I will call you by that. Or... What were you expecting me to call you?...." She paused, raised her brows, and glanced at her quizzically. When she finally thought of something, she erupted into laughter, covering her mouth with her hands, "Don't tell me you are expecting me to call your mother? Oh my goodness! Have you forgotten that you are not my mother? You reminded me many times back in the days," She taunted with her words, ignoring the murderous glares emitting from them. She was less concerned. She loved it. Tha
Chasing Love After Divorce He Is Her Hero
GENERALLexi darted her gaze between her parents. She found their reactions suspicious and scary. Her mind missed a beat. Has something happened to Ryan? "Mom...? Dad...? Where is Ryan?" She asked again, her eyes dilating in anticipation of what her parents' response would be. She just hoped that it wouldn't be bad news. She owed him a lot. She would have been dead before they got saved if he hadn't intervened and stalked enough time for them. The last thing she wanted to hear was that he was gone. "The doctor said that he was in a more critical situation, and it was only by a miracle that the bullet didn't get to his heart because it was just a tiny space between his heart and the spot the bullet pierced into. He has been operated on and is out of danger, but he hasn't opened his eyes since then," her mother explained calmly. There was guilt in her eyes. Even though Ryan had once maltreated their daughter, they couldn't help but feel indebted to him. It would have been a differ
Chasing Love After Divorce Where Is Ryan?
GENERAL FLASHBACK TO 12 HOURS AGO Ryan sat in his car, resting his arm on the steering wheel and staring at the mansion in front of him. He was contemplating whether to enter or not. He was there to check on Lexi, but he was scared to step in because he didn't know the reaction he would meet. The memory of the humiliation he received at the hospital was still vivid in his head, and he wouldn't want to suffer the same thing again. "You just need to go. Isabelle isn't her daughter alone. She is also yours," he mentally told himself. Shutting his eyes for a few seconds, he sighed and opened them back. Just as he unlocked the door and was about to step out, he sighted Lexi running out of the house with an oversized gown that she clutched to avoid stepping on as she walked. His brows crinkled. Why was she running? Where was she going? She looked like she was in a haste, yet she didn't take a car with her. He suspected something and decided to discreetly follow her to find out what was h
Chasing Love After Divorce Perfect Timing
GENERALSilence overwhelmed the atmosphere at the sound of the gunshot. Ryan glared at Jasmine, shocked and afraid. What was that sound? Where did it come from? "Mommy!" Isabelle cried out, her voice lingering in the air with a lot of worry mixed with it. Her voice jerked Ryan out of his reverie, and he looked behind him. That was when he realized what was happening. It turned out that the gunshot that reverberated in the room was real and Lexi had been shot instead. Blood gushed out of her side as she clutched it tightly with her hands. Her body shook. "Argh!" Lexi winced as her body hurriedly wallowed in the pool of pain. An excruciating pang of pain coursed through her like fire on dried leaves. Ryan blinked with his mouth widened, his eyes darkened, and tears rushed to his lids. What! Jasmine really did that...? "How dare you, Jasmine?" He growled. His voice resounded like thunder, sending fears down the spines of Jasmine and her men, but they were smart enough to conceal th
Chasing Love After Divorce Savior
GENERALLexi flinched in fear as she felt a liquid substance splashing over her. Unlocking her eyes swiftly in fear, she was shocked to find Jasmine, standing over her and pouring water over her and her daughter. The craziest part of it was it wasn't clean water, and it was already emitting a stench odor. She almost puked as the horrible smell drifted into her nose. Thankfully, she had shielded Isabelle, which protected her from the water. "What are you doing, Jasmine? What water is this?" She yelled at her, hovering over her daughter. Her voice was shaky and pathetic. None of her words wafted into Jasmine's ears. She didn't stop pouring the water until she finished the one in the bucket. Then, she flung the bucket away. "What do you think I am doing? I am trying to wake you up. Is that a bad thing to do?" She responded to her with an indifferent expression. She was totally not bothered and nonchalant about her actions. "And you think waking me up this way is the best way? How
Chasing Love After Divorce LEXI IS MISSING
GENERAL "She is not picking up," Lexi's mother informed with concern in her voice, bringing her phone from her ear and staring at the screen, which was displaying her daughter's name.Mr. Alexandra's eyes skimmed over the clock that was glued at the top of the entrance. It was already 8 pm, and she hadn't gotten back since she left home. She didn't dress extra when she left in the afternoon, so they didn't think where she was going was far. They wondered if she was still with Donald, as she had said before she left the house.Mr. Alexandra picked up his phone and put a call across to Donald, who picked up on the second ring. "Hello, President Alexandra," Donald greeted on the other side of the phone the moment he picked up. For some reason, he found the call surprising, and he was curious. Did something happen to Lexi? It had been days since he last saw her because he had been busy at the office. Since the CEO wasn't around, he had to take over so that there wouldn't be any flop i
Chasing Love After Divorce Helplessness
GENERAL Lexi's heart almost jumped out of her mouth when she heard Jasmine's statement. She didn't want anything but her life. But why? All she has ever done for her was in her favor. She didn't let her enjoy her marriage, yet she never argued with her. She walked out of the marriage for her. Her eyes blinked, and tears flowed out. "Why? Why does it have to be my life?" She asked in a croaky voice, swirling her tongue over her lips. Her eyes were reddened and teary. Jasmine chuckled, "It doesn't have to be you. It can be your adorable daughter," she stated, acting like she was about to pull the trigger. Lexi pushed her baby behind her and shrouded her with her body. "Don't do this, Jasmine. Leave my baby out of our mess. She has nothing to do with what happened between us," she said. "What!" Jasmine's brows crinkled. Then she smirked slyly, "She has a lot to do with what happened between us and the horrible incident that happened to me. She was a mistake. She wasn't supposed to
