EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE I wanted to protect her, I failed
Chapter 32Chapter 32Gavin’s POVSeated as the head of the board meeting for the Business Conference of all Real Estate Companies of Darion Town, I kept my gaze locked on the agenda of the day. Meanwhile, my mind was fixated on a far less formal matter. Jessie. Why is she lying to me? I asked myself for the umpteenth time. Each time, the answer came back with a question, what is she doing behind my back?"Congratulations on your marriage, Mr. Pierre." A voice pulled me back into the present. I raised my eyes and found the one person I could consider a friend. "Thank you," I replied indifferently, my gaze darker than intended. "Tell me everything you know about the Ford company's shares." Mr Franklyn narrowed his gaze, his expression pensive and analytical."The meeting is about to start," he whispered, "I will send everything I know as email.But for now, I need a favor.""I don't grant favors to anyone that is not family." I interjected sharply. "Please, Mr. Gavin, it's urgen
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE It’s not a lie, Jess. I love you
Gavin’s POV“You’ll do no such thing!” I interjected, my voice a measured growl that barely masked the anger simmering underneath me.“Watch and see,” Candace smirked. “We are only at the beginning of our business deal, Mr. Pierre, let’s meet up more often.”“I refuse your offer.” “I doubt that you can, Gavin.” Candace replied, her voice smooth and unwavering, almost taunting. “I care about your company too, don’t test me. It’s an advice.”She rose from the table, her red dress tight on her body like a second skin. “By the way,” she added, “I’m not the only one hoping for your marriage to fail.”Her words hung in the air like a grey cloud. They are people hoping for my marriage to fail? I thought inwardly. Following her subtle nod, I my head looked over my shoulders to find that guy… Greg or whatever tracing a line on Jessie’s face.I jolted up, too upset to watch anymore. As I stormed out of the diner, I could tell the look in Candace face. It was that triumphant smirk— one a pre
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE Was I tempting fate?
He didn't need to ask again. I swallowed hard, turning into the bathroom, my mind was made up on what to do next- I would leave this hell. The next morning, during breakfast, he slid the car key I gave him last night back to me."It's your car now." "I don't want it," I replied, "Thank you."Gavin glanced at me, his eyes filled with anger but he didn't say a word. Silence took over the breakfast table, as I sat going over my plans."Don't forget what I said last night." He said, bringing back to the present. "I don't want you working there." I said nothing. I waited for Gavin to leave to work first. As soon as his car drove out of the compound, I packed up a small bag carry just a few clothes and headed out of the house. "Good bye to this dungeon of the devil!" I muttered under my breath, smiling to myself as I entered a cab. I knew I was treading on the lion's tail but I had a goal. A goal I must achieve and not even Gavin Pierre would stop me.The taxi stopped in front of a b
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE No thrill in defying Gavin
My grip on my purse weakened, my heart dropped, racing slightly."What does he want?" I managed to ask. Did he already find out I was with Greg? Was he stalking me?! Tracking my every move? "It must be about work, don't worry about it.""You can come with me if...""No," I replied quickly, "I still have a lot of things to do at the office," I lied.As Greg entered his car, I swallowed with the urge to say, "Please don't tell him I'm here." Instead, I stood there, frozen, watching his car gradually disappear from sight.A strange chill crept over me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that everything was happening too fast.I was mistaken, there was no thrill in defying Gavin. It felt like I was asking for his wrath instead. That I could handle, but what if he extended his wrath to Greg? I mean, he was the devil of Darion Town for a reason.I took out my phone, pacing around restlessly. My hand hovered over the screen.Finally determined, I clicked on his number. Gavin's POVMy phon
EX BOYFRIEND’S UNCLE CONTRACTED WIFE First Greg, Now Ryan, what next?
Gavin’s POVI shot to my feet, and stormed out of my office. Franklyn followed behind, I knew he was buzzing with questions, yet he knew better than to ask any of them when I was sizzling with obvious anger.As I passed my reception, my assistant hopped out of his seat, running after me with my schedule. “Sir you have the next meeting with…”“Cancel!” I bellowed, as I pulled the exit door open.“Stop and think for a moment!” Franklyn growled. I paused, turning to face him. “What?”“I don’t know where you’re going but I know you’re about to do something reckless and it never ends well.”“Stay out of it, it’s my business.” I retorted, my eyes flashing with irritation.Jessie’s text message had me reeling in anger. The mere idea that she thought she could choose being an assistant to that obnoxious jerk over our marriage was the main reason I was losing my mind. “At least let me drive,” Franklyn said, his face filled with darn concern.I tossed my key to him and hopped into the backs
