Chasing The Stubborn Ex-Wife Your ex husband is waiting for you
Three days had bled into the past since the searing image of Hunter and Sophia, bathed in the warm glow of the afternoon sun, had burned itself into Evelyn’s memory. Three days of forced composure, of burying the unwelcome pang of hurt and a surprising stab of something akin to jealousy beneath a veneer of professional detachment. Three days of silence from him – no apologetic calls, no casual texts, nothing to acknowledge the barbed condition he had laid down for a potential partnership. And honestly, a part of her was relieved. Or at least, that’s the narrative she diligently constructed for herself, a fragile shield against the unwelcome intrusion of her lingering feelings.The usual weekday rhythm of StarLink’s headquarters pulsed around her that morning, the familiar symphony of hurried footsteps echoing against the polished marble floors, the low hum of overlapping conversations weaving through the open-plan offices. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted from the communal ki

Evelyn’s heart sank, a cold, unwelcome weight settling in the pit of her stomach. “You’re kidding me,” she muttered under her breath, a wave of weary resignation washing over her. Of all the days, of all the moments for him to reappear.“Nope. Walked in here like he owned the damn place and has practically set up camp in your office. He even turned down Beatrice’s offer of a double espresso, which, knowing Hunter, means he’s not here for a polite social call. This is drama, Evelyn. Pure, unadulterated Blackwood-style drama.” Vinni’s voice was a low, urgent warning.Evelyn muttered a more potent curse under her breath, her fingers instinctively adjusting the sharp lines of her blazer, a familiar armor she donned before facing any significant confrontation. “Fine,” she said, her voice tight with forced calm. “Let’s just get this over with. Rip off the band-aid and send him back to his ivory tower.”She pushed open the door to her office, her hand firm on the cool metal handle, ready to

Three days of her meticulously constructing a narrative of indifference, a fragile wall against the unwelcome pang of hurt and the surprising sting of jealousy that still dared to surface. She had almost begun to believe her own carefully crafted facade, clinging to the hope that his abrupt departure from her office would translate into a prolonged absence.That fragile hope shattered that afternoon with the arrival of a terse, demanding message on her private, unlisted number – the one only a handful of people, including Hunter, possessed.Hunter: Dinner. Hotel LaVelle. 8 PM. Don’t be late.Evelyn scoffed, her fingers tightening around her phone, her eyes blazing with a mixture of indignation and a reluctant flicker of intrigue. No polite preamble. No inquiry about her availability. Just a blunt command, thinly veiled as an invitation, delivered with the casual arrogance she had come to both despise and, inexplicably, expect. Her initial instinct was a resounding refusal. She had no

Few days later - The sterile finality of the signed contracts hung in the air, a tangible representation of Evelyn’s pragmatic decision to intertwine StarLink’s fate with that of her ex-husband’s formidable empire. The alliance, born of necessity and a sliver of grudging respect for Hunter’s business acumen, felt like a precarious truce, a delicate balance teetering on the precipice of their volatile shared history. The memory of his raw possessiveness in the hotel hallway, the unsettling glint of protectiveness in his eyes amidst the violent outburst, lingered in Evelyn’s thoughts, a confusing undercurrent beneath the carefully constructed surface of their professional interactions.It was with a sense of inevitability, a weary resignation mixed with a sliver of reluctant curiosity, that Evelyn received Hunter’s subsequent message.

The lingering ghost of Evelyn’s perfume, a delicate whisper of lavender and something uniquely her own, still clung to the air around the vacated lunch table.Hunter, however, was no longer present, the imposing figure who commanded boardrooms and bent industries to his will now absent, leaving behind only the faint indentation on the plush velvet seating. He had watched her departure, a study in elegant defiance – head held high, her stride sharp and purposeful, each click of her heels against the polished floor a decisive punctuation mark on their severed connection. It was as if the years they had shared, the intricate tapestry of their intertwined lives, had been relegated to the realm of a forgotten nightmare, one from which she had finally awakened and was determined to erase from her memory entirely.A dull ache, a physical manifestation of the emotional turmoil churning within him, constricted Hunter’s chest.For once, Hunter Blackwood, the man renowned for his glacial compos

Evelyn's pov ;I never imagined this would ever happen to me. Hunter and I have been together for three years, and not once did I doubt his love for me. But now, as I sat in the backseat of the car, I realised how wrong I was. "Where did Hunter say he was going?" I asked the driver, trying to sound casual.He hesitated before answering, "He said he was going to the old house, Madam Evelyn."My heart skipped a beat. The old family house? What business did he have there? A pit of dread grew in my stomach.My phone suddenly buzzed. I pulled it out to see several new messages from my sister. My hands shook as I opened them. Photos of Hunter and Sophia, my sister, kissing and hugging popped on my screen. Each picture felt like a stab to my heart."No…no, this can't be," I whispered, feeling tears well up in my eyes.My phone buzzed again. Another message from her. I opened it with trembling hands, afraid of what I would see. It was another photo of Hunter and Sophia, wrapped in each other

Evelyn’s pov ; I thought about all those times when we would fight. It was always me who gave in first, always me who sought to make peace. I was always so humble, so desperate to keep the peace, to make our relationship work. Maybe that was what gave him the power to cheat, to betray me so easily. I remembered how my father, on his deathbed, asked Hunter 's grandmother to take care of me and my sister when we were kids. Which was how she made Hunter marry me. At the time, maybe it seemed like a perfect solution to her. Hunter and I had known each other for years. We had grown up together, and I believed that with time, he would fall in love with me after marriage.But now, it all felt like a cruel joke. He had never treated me badly, but he had also never shown me the love I craved. I always told myself that love would come in time, and that he would eventually see me as more than just an obligation.I thought back to how close Hunter and Sophia had always been. They were insepara

Evelyn’s pov ; I thought about it for a moment. Have I made the right decision? Grandma was the only person who had ever shown me love in that house. Leaving her felt like abandoning the one person who truly cared about me. But as we pulled up to the restaurant, any uncertainty I had evaporated in an instant.As we stepped out of the car and approached the entrance, I saw Hunter and Sophia getting out of a car across the street. Sophia's hands were tightly clutched around Hunter 's arm, and he seemed perfectly okay with it. I felt like pulling my hair. How could he be so bold, parading his affair around for everyone to see? Does he think that because I had always been tolerant, I would just accept this too?"Are you okay?" Vinni asked me. Before I could answer, Sophia's voice rang out. "Evelyn, what a surprise to see you here!"Hunter 's face turned pale as he saw me. He sheepishly tried to yank his arm out of Sophia's grip, but it was too late. I laughed bitterly, the sound was h

“Forget him,” Vinni said with a decisive wave of her hand, her arms crossed firmly over her chest as she leaned against the edge of Evelyn’s imposing mahogany desk. Her gaze was direct, her loyalty unwavering. “Avoid that manipulative bastard for a while. He wants to rattle you, Evelyn, to see if he still has the power to provoke a reaction. And you walking in there today, composed and presenting a powerful business proposition, scared the living hell out of him. That’s why he’s resorting to acting like a petulant, jealous child.”Evelyn let out a dry, humorless laugh, the sound devoid of any real amusement. She sank into the plush leather of her executive chair with a weary sigh, the adrenaline from her confrontation with Hunter slowly draining away, leaving behind a residue of frustration and simmering anger. “He didn’t even try to be subtle about it, did he? The sheer audacity. I should have known he’d pull some underhanded stunt like that. It’s classic Hunter.”“Well, now you know
Chasing The Stubborn Ex-Wife Another condition
The imposing edifice of Blackwood Corp loomed before Evelyn, a sleek monument of steel and glass that seemed to pierce the very sky. Its grandeur was both intimidating and a stark reminder of the power Hunter wielded, a power she was now reluctantly seeking to tap into. She adjusted the crisp lapels of her elegant navy suit, the tailored fabric a shield against the unease churning in her stomach. Her posture was ramrod straight, her chin held high, her carefully composed exterior a mask for the turbulent emotions beneath.The proposal folder clutched in her hand was more than just a collection of meticulously researched data and persuasive projections; it was a tangible representation of her pride, her company’s precarious future resting within its sleek covers.The hushed reverence of the grand, glass-paneled lobby of Blackwood Corp felt almost suffocating.The cool, minimalist design, the silent efficiency of the staff, all contributed to an atmosphere of controlled power.

Chasing The Stubborn Ex-Wife The Unthinkable deal
The rhythmic tapping of Evelyn's pen against the edge of her mahogany desk was the only sound in the otherwise silent office, the persistent clicking a stark counterpoint to the chaotic storm raging within her.Each downward stroke was a percussive punctuation mark on the damning figures spread before her, each page of the report feeling like a personal indictment, a stark reminder of how much of her carefully constructed empire was slipping beyond her grasp. The weight of responsibility pressed down on her, a suffocating burden that threatened to crush her beneath its immensity.Vinni stood silently nearby, her posture radiating a quiet strength that belied the gravity of the situation. She watched Evelyn with a contemplative look, her usually expressive face carefully neutral, her thoughts churning with the same desperate urgency that consumed Evelyn. Then, she spoke, her voice measured, each word chosen with deliberate care.“We need a strategy, Ev,” she said, breaking the tense si
Chasing The Stubborn Ex-Wife Failure is not an answer
The heavy oak door of the conference room swung shut behind Evelyn with a decisive click, the sound echoing the finality of another unproductive meeting.Her expensive heels clicked sharply against the polished marble floors of the executive corridor as she walked with a determined stride toward her office, each step a metronome keeping pace with the relentless ticking of the clock counting down StarLink’s dwindling fortunes. The air in the conference room had been thick with a toxic blend of forced optimism and thinly veiled panic, a suffocating atmosphere of departmental heads desperately trying to spin disastrous figures into palatable narratives.Evelyn, however, wasn’t buying it. Years of navigating the cutthroat world of corporate finance had honed her senses, allowing her to see through the smoke and mirrors, to recognize the subtle shifts in body language that betrayed the carefully rehearsed reassurances.The reality was stark and undeniable: StarLink was bleeding money, and
