Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 079: Mirabel Plot
The following day was a Saturday, Dante was with Lyra in his apartment. He was standing by the window of his large sitting room, the morning lights filtering through the gauzy curtains. He was watching Lyra with a warm smile and his arms were casually folded. He felt too fortunate gazing straight at the same woman he has been having sleepless nights about for the past few years now. It was too good to be true and yet it was true. Thinking about how happy he was now compared to those times he could not help but feel utterly grateful and indebted to her. He was determined to make every little minute count for something."How about we take a little trip, just the two of us?" He suggested now placing his hands on his waist.Lyra held his gaze from her slanted position on the couch her legs crossed and a smile was playing on her lips. "Where to?"“City Skape Villa,” He quipped with his dreamy eyes beaming."It's a huge vacation home for lovers in the city. It's perfect for such outings

Felix took a quick sip from his glass of soda, sitting at one of the dimmest corners of the old club.He was sitting at the same spot where he and Aria had linked up a few weeks ago.He looked up now and again, his patience wearing out as he scanned the entrance for Aria."What is she still waiting for? It's over an hour already."He had mumbled, glancing at the watch in his hand quickly, before taking another sip.It took about ten more minutes before Aria finally appeared at the doorpost. And for the first few seconds of her arrival, she stood near the doorway, looking as visibly annoyed as ever.She did not waste too much time before she spotted Felix. After all, she already knew where to look, and when their eyes met, she clenched her fist and ground her teeth, shaking her head faintly before she began to match his direction. All through this time, Felix wore a sly smile."What did you mean by what you said on the phone?" Aria snapped as soon as she was within hearing distance.H

It was a typical workday, and Dante was sitting in his spacious office. At the other end of the chair was Marcus, drawn to the edge of his seat as usual as he furnished his boss with updates on recent happenings at the company.Dante leaned forward with a pen in hand, signing the final pages of an important contract.He tried reviewing a new document that had unexpectedly landed on their desks."So, Marcus," Dante looked up from his table to say, with a hint of amusement on his face.“Did Anthony really submit a proposal to Memphis Corporation as well?"Marcus chuckled, shaking his head. "It seems like he did, boss. It looks like our new partner wasn't that impressed."Dante raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. "Well, well. Anthony always did have a knack for failure.”Their laughter filled the room briefly, a welcome break from the usual seriousness of their business discussions. As soon as quietness returned, Dante shifted gears."Speaking of surprises," Dante mumbled tho

Mirabel stepped out of the sleek Honda car, her heels clicking measuredly against the marble floor of Anthony's corporate headquarters. Employees moved briskly, their expressions a mix of focus and determination, embodying the company's high-stakes environment.Her eyes glowed with satisfaction as she strode through the glass doors, her mind set on the plan she had carefully crafted and was now ready to execute. The cool air-conditioned breeze hit her face, a stark contrast to the warmth outside, making her feel even more in control.She knew that to bring down Lyra and, in turn, get back at Dante, she needed a powerful ally who was as angry as she was.In this case, Anthony was the perfect candidate. She had done her research.His company, a formidable competitor in the industry, had all the potential and financial might to do the necessary damage. The walls of the lobby were lined with awards and accolades, a testament to Anthony's business acumen and ruthless strategies.As Mirabe

It was closing time, and Aria was on her way to the company premises, her mind swirling with thoughts of the day’s activities and the chores that awaited her at home.She had just reached the elevator entrance and was about to take another step forward when Lyra's voice called out to her."Aria, wait up!"Aria stopped sharply and turned around swiftly to see Lyra half-running towards her. Her handbag was dangling from her hand, and she had a bright smile on her face.Despite the chaos that has been brewing in her mind since yesterday, Aria couldn't help but smile back. She couldn't afford to look as she was actually feeling."Hey, Lyra. What's up?" She voiced, trying to sound just as cheerful.Lyra was in front of her now, slightly out of breath but still beaming. "Here, I got you something," she said, handing over the bag to her gingerly."I figured it was exactly your speck."Aria collected the bag with genuine surprise, her heart warming at the gesture. "You know you didn't have

Lyra sat at her desk, the glow of her computer screen illuminating her face.Pieces of art and sketches were scattered around her, each design more intricate than the last. Her fingers were spread over the keyboard as she made final adjustments to her latest pattern.The office was quiet, save for the soft hum of the air conditioning and the occasional rustle of paper. She had been at this for hours, consumed by the need to perfect every detail.Just as she was beginning to put finishing touches on a particular design, she heard a soft knock on the door. Lyra paused to look up as her secretary, Bancroft, entered the room. "Madam, we just received a call from Mr. Donovan, a potential investor. He's expressed significant interest in your upcoming collection."Lyra's heart skipped a beat.Mr. Donovan was another big name in the industry, one of the pioneers of the most classic runway shows in Silver City, known for his keen eye for talent and his generous investments. If he was intere

As the hours passed by, Aria sat on the edge of her bed, fumbling with her hands and staring into space as her mind raced. The fear that had initially gripped her heart for the past few days and for the last few hours began to loosen its hold, replaced by a simmering sense of envy. “Come to think of it, Lyra had always had everything: the perfect job, the admiration of her peers, a bright future. Everything. And now she was about to get the man of her dreams. Not just any man, but the best kind ever. A rich, handsome multi-billionaire. Even after the so-called separation, she still managed to get him back. What kind of reckless luck is that? And how could one human being do such?”She reasoned, tilting her head to one side.“Take my life as an example.” She thought.“I have struggled and toiled for every single scrap of recognition I ended up receiving, yet I have always been overshadowed by Lyra’s effortless success.”She sighed, breathing in and out. Was it really so terrible to g
Ex-Husbands, I'm Back Chapter 086: The Act
Aria was still stiffened to one spot, freezing in apprehension when the door handle suddenly turned further. Her heart leaped. She quickly turned off the computer and dove behind the desk, shivering like a leaf in the wind, her heart pounding in her chest. Her eyes were squeezed shut and opened again.“Who could it be?” She was asking in her mind.“At this time of the night?”She was beginning to sweat, and for the first time in a long while, she started to mumble words of prayer, hoping she wouldn't get discovered.The creak of the door opening seemed deafening in the otherwise silent office.Aria dove even further; the violet beating of her heart at this point felt surprisingly audible.The intruder stepped in, and the footsteps she heard next were quick and continuous, followed by the pushing sound of a cleaning cart as well as the tune of the person's cheerful whistle. It was a man oblivious, and he was oblivious to the tension crackling in the air. He turned on the lights, and
