Lyra proceeded into the elevator after the call. It ascended, and after a few minutes, it stopped again and opened into the entrance of floor 6A, where her new apartment was located.She stepped out and cautiously located the door to her room by reading the tags above each door. She finally found it at the end of the hallway. She stood in front of the door and punched in the four-digit code to gain access. Immediately after that, the door creaked open.Lyra smiled the moment she entered. Her eyes took a slow, satisfied scan of the living room. It was exactly like her old room back in Crestview.It was an expansive square room with two large parallel windows covered with thick brown curtains. The color of the carpet and the ceiling were the same cream color, like the one she had back home. The cabinet was filled with drinks, and a moderate-sized flat-screen TV was lodged on the central wall."Welcome home Lyra." She smiled again.The familiar look of the room was why she had picked i

Lyra tossed and turned from one side to the next in the bedroom before she finally opened her eyes slowly to come awake. She yawned and stretched out, sitting up lazily on the bed, only to notice Aria's figure standing with her back turned.The air was charged with an enticing, spicy aroma coming from the kitchen. Lyra sniffed the air from her relaxed posture; even the pillows and bed sheets had been laced with the scent.Aria was actually serving breakfast on the side table."Morning dear." Lyra was greeted with a tired face.Aria turned swiftly to glance at Lyra. She let out a smile and then went, making her previous busy hand movements and glancing at the wall repeatedly."Hey babes, how was your night?" She asked, but before Lyra could respond, she went ahead to mutter to herself."I need to start heading to the office now; I think I'm running late already." "So what are your thoughts about my offer last night?" Lyra blurted from the bed. Aria mentioning her job had instantly r

Lyra took another good look at the lady again, battling with mixed emotions. She was indeed one of those colleagues who were fond of badmouthing her years back when she was still working part-time with Douglas."Good day, madam." The lady greeted her respectfully, looking blank. She obviously couldn't even recognize Lyra.Lyra kept her silence, approaching her slowly and wondering if it was too early to start making personnel changes. "Good morning, madam." She greeted again this time, a little more loudly; she must have assumed Lyra didn't hear the first one.Lyra stood to stare directly at her, contemplating her next move. From this position, her mind began to drift, recalling the harsh times of her previous life. The pain and humiliation this particular lady had caused her then. The memories left a sour taste in her tongue and bitterness in her belly."Do… I know you?" The lady, who was now looking extremely confused, stammered helplessly when she wasn't getting any response from
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 036: I have a wife
Dante sat on his office chair in a half-bowed posture, running his hand through a bunch of documents on his desk. Marcus was sitting with a straight face at the opposite end of the desk, and standing next to his chair was Mandy, Dante's secretary, who handed him the documents he was perusing. After a few minutes of looking through the file in silence, Dante paused to look up quickly at his secretary. "You can leave for now, Mandy; I will call you when I'm done." He said, swinging his head towards the door. She curtsied and turned around swiftly to exit the office, shutting the door gently after her. Dante was about to return his gaze to the files on his desk when Marcus suddenly shifted forward like someone who had just remembered something significant. "Sir, I almost forgot to tell you. HUB also reached out to us not too long ago. They want us to handle their project even without submitting a contract. Can you believe that?" Dante nodded his head with a knowing look on his
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 037: Meeting Again
Lyra was standing over Drey's office table with Drey himself scrunched up on his chair as he showed her the draft of the pattern she revealed to him on her notepad a day ago."I really love this." She said happily."I think it's perfect; let them know they have my permission to proceed with the production immediately, looking forward to a perfect result." She added it with a satisfied grin.Drey nodded pliantly, got up from his seat, and left the office to do just that while Lyra remained crouched over the table, looking through the rest of the designs. Some few seconds later, she came across yet another best-selling design belonging to a different company this time, and when she tried searching for the name of the parent company, to her surprise, it was none other than the Cooper Fashion Firm, headed by the very same Mirabel Cooper, Dante's sister.Lyra absentmindedly stooped to sit on Drey’s chair, a sly grin playing on her face as she leaned back against the chair with several thou
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 038: Never!
When Lyra arrived at her apartment building, she refreshed and made herself a simple dinner of smash burgers.She took the meal to the sitting room, sitting carelessly on one of the couches to eat the meal halfway before going ahead to check the updates in her mailbox with one hand. The first thing she saw while scrolling through the box was a new message from the apartment owner."Young lady, I think it would help you if you vacate the apartment building as instructed or get ready to face some really bad legal consequences." He wrote.Lyra scoffed and scrolled a little downwards to see some highlighted hints beneath the message where he stated that the noise pollution coming from her apartment was the reason for her eviction."For real?"Lyra murmured with little food still in her mouth, chewing at the same time and looking unconcerned.Then, without thinking twice, Lyra pushed her plate aside and readjusted on the couch before proceeding to browse through the online stores available
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 039: Found Her
The next morning, a few minutes after Aria had already left for work, Lyra, while lying on the bed, instantly took into account the long day waiting ahead of her and quickly jumped to her feet. She grabbed a towel from the shower storage before scurrying into the bathroom on her tiptoes. After her bath, and after she was all gussied up, she came back to the mirror, observing the curvy outline of her shape and how impeccably it was complimented by her dark gown worn on stiletto heels. Lyra is such a pro at sporting heels now, unlike in earlier years."That's how bossy ladies do." She muttered satisfactorily with a playfully smug tone.She assumed her fast-paced mannerisms once again, grabbing her bag from the bed and her notepad from the nesting table before turning around to rush out of the room.Just as she had planned the previous day, Lyra stopped by the solicitor's office, which she located through the address on the document she was served. Fortunately for her, the address was
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 040: The Challenge
After the call with Chase, Dante had been so overwhelmed with delight that he could no longer continue with the office work. He immediately picked up his phone, his briefcase, and his car keys as he turned to march out of the office, heading back to his apartment with a brightened-up face and a radiant smile.All through the duration of his drive back home, the smile on his face did not fade. He kept whistling, swinging his head from side to side heatedly, and thinking of how pleasant and freeing it would be to finally get to see Lyra again.When he arrived at the parking lot of his apartment building, he turned off the ignition of the Bentley, climbed down steadily, and strode towards the entrance with exultant steps.When he reached the elevator opening and was just about to touch one of the controller buttons by the side, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He paused to pull it out, only to see that it was an incoming call from his grandmother. He shook his head indulgingly before pi
