RYAN "I want to see the President," I told the secretary I met at Lexi's office, but she was reluctant to let me in. "I... Sorry, sir. But the president warned to never let you in. Please, kindly take your leave," Sarah let out with full professionalism, intertwining her hands while keeping a straight countenance. I wasn't shocked either. I expected that after the nuisance I had caused in Lexi's office. However, it was important that I meet her today. I really needed to explain things to her. Isabelle's, our daughter's life is in trouble, and we needed to act smart and fast on it to avoid stories that could hurt us. Darting my eyes over Sarah, I smirked, "Do you know who I am? I'm sure you are mistaken. Lexi will never order you not to grant me entrance to her office." She swayed a suspicious gaze over me and bobbed her head negatively. "I'm sorry, Mr. Middleton, but I cannot let you in. I would have called her on the phone to ask for her permission, but I doubt she will pick up.

LEXII think I am going crazy. How the hell would I find Ryan's cologne relaxing and aromatic? And why was I bothered that he met Donald and me the way he met us?As soon as he slammed the door behind him, I exhaled sharply and shook my head. "You need to get your act together, Lexi."I guessed he was lurking around me because I had become the CEO of his company, which was the reason I proposed to him to be my driver. Ryan Middleton is egoistic, and I doubted that he would find my offer fair. I was certain that he would get angry and forfeit the position to me. At least he would stop stalking me and leave me the hell alone. I hated that I kept seeing his face.*Ryan strolled straight to Donald's office as he left Lexi's. Donald was deep in thought when he footed in.The creaking sound of the door propelled him to look in the direction of the entrance, and he huffed as he saw Ryan. There was something suspicious about Ryan, but he couldn't place a finger on it, and it made him extreme

JASMINE"Pick up! Pick up!! Fucking pick up your call," I gritted, hitting my phone on my hand aggressively. It had been two weeks since I had been calling Ryan, but he wasn't picking up my phone. I had gone to his company many times, but I wasn't allowed in. I was told the CEO had changed and they were strictly ordered never to allow the Middleton or anyone close to the family to step into the company. That was still a mystery yet to be solved. What was happening? How did the CEO change with nobody knowing about it?I had gone to his house. He wasn't home, but I met Emily and his mother. Unlike in the past, they were cold to me as though we were enemies. In fact, Emily warned me never to come to their house.I missed my man. I missed Ryan so much, yet he hadn't been granting me an audience ever since Lexi returned to the country. Without being told, I knew he had been busy following her around. That bitch! She returned to the country and ruined all I had worked hard for. Ryan had fuc
Chasing Love After Divorce First Day At Work
GENERAL"Good morning!" A familiar voice echoed in Lexi's voice as soon as she stepped out of her car that morning, causing her to tilt her head. For a few seconds, she was dumbfounded when she saw Ryan inches away from her, smiling and waving his hands. She cringed at his laughter and didn't hide it with the smug on her face.She rolled her eyes and huffed. It was a new day and a new week. It was too early to get a wonderful drama from him."Please, leave. It's too early for your drama," Lexi let out, taking her bag from the backseat and locking the door."Leave? Are you sacking me already?" Ryan asked nonchalantly, tucking his hands in his pockets with arms akimbo. Lexi's body froze; she turned and raised a part of her brows in a questioning manner. "Sack you? Does this look like your place of work? Were you ever employed?" Ryan smirked and closed the gap between them. His hands were still tucked in the pocket. Briefly, Lexi was drooled over his majestic and sexy demeanor, but she

GENERALLexi twirled her wrist to skim at her watch, and she heaved when she realized that it was time for lunch. She hadn't even exhaled when the door opened and Donald tucked his head in. "Time for lunch!" He announced with a smile, waving.Lexi's lips curled into a grin, and she snickered, "You never missed the time." She joked, getting up from her seat.Donald walked up to her, snaked his arms around her waist, and pulled her closer to his body. He made an attempt to kiss her, but she smartly tilted her face, which made Donald kiss her cheeks. He obviously noticed what just happened, but he chuckled. He presumed that she wasn't comfortable yet."Should we go for lunch now?" He asked."Of course. I'm freaking famished right now. I have been waiting for the lunch hour like it's an hour of redemption," she let out."Okay. Let's go," he muttered, and the duo stepped out of Lexi's office.On getting out, Donald sighted Ryan, getting his food from the delivery guy. "I guessed Mr. Ryan d

GENERAL"Welcome, ma'am. Welcome, sir," Sarah greeted Lexi and Ryan as they returned from lunch. Lexi responded with a smile and said, "Get me a cup of coffee." Darting her gaze over Donald, she asked, "Do you care for?" "Uhm... Yes. A cup of coffee for me too," he replied, and Sarah left to carry out the task she was given.Donald and Lexi sauntered into Lexi's office and went to settle in the visitor's corner, where there were two couches facing each other and a small table in between. Five minutes later, Sarah returned with two cups of coffee and placed them carefully on the table."Thank you, Sarah," Donald muttered smilingly, and Sarah's face flushed. She lowered her head and nodded before she walked out.Lexi picked up a cup of coffee, placed one leg on the other, and folded one of her arms as she took the cup to her lips. However, as she sipped the coffee, the door flew open.The banging sound of the door made Lexi and Donald glance at each other, and they hurriedly stood up
Chasing Love After Divorce Fool
LEXII was satisfied with what I did. The look on Ryan's face when I was pouring the coffee on his head cannot be forgotten in a while. I have it engraved in my head. I had the urge to laugh at him when I suspected him battling with his emotions, especially his temperament, but I held back. With what I did, I knew he would not come back to work for me henceforth, and I couldn't be happier.As I pretended to work, I felt Donald's gaze over me, and it made me uncomfortable. How could I have forgotten that I still have a lot to explain and it isn't over yet? Gosh! Can't he just let things be and pretend like nothing happened?"Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" My greatest worry happened. He finally broke the silence and demanded an explanation.I shut my eyes, gritted my teeth dejectedly, and shook my head unhurriedly. With a smile, I opened my eyes and raised my head."An explanation? What explanation?" I questioned, feigning ignorance, and I hoped he wouldn't drag up the issu
Chasing Love After Divorce OVERTHINKING
GENERALDonald stepped out of his car and walked straight into his flat. He was staying on the first floor of a two storey-building. Getting into his apartment, he tossed his bag, flinging it on the couch, removed his suit, undid his tie, and collapsed onto the couch, flopping his hands and leaning his head backward. He had been exhausted from the day's activities. It was evident in his eyes and the way he breathed.He took his phone and grimaced at the screen, which revealed Lexi's picture as the wallpaper, and he sighed. They didn't talk to each other since the argument. Lexi was too stubborn to apologize to him and he was also standing on his manly ego. He missed her.Swiping the phone, he went to the recent calls and stared at Lexi's number, contemplating whether to reach out to her or not. The urge to give in and call her first was strong but he overcame it, turned the phone off, hissed, and tossed the phone to the side.Sitting up, he thought about the whole thing. From the orig

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

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
Chasing Love After Divorce The Scandal
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
