Married with the Brokenhearted CEO Chapter 53
Chadwick’s POVThat night after I told my wife that I wanted a divorce, I went to a bar with my friend, Edward.“I was so damned mad! Sh*t! F*ck!” I complained to Edward while we sat in front of the bar counter with glasses of whiskey in our hands.Edward, who came to accompany me and listen to my tattle, stared at me with eyes which saw a pathetic puppy in the middle of the rain.“Hey, explain it to me in words. How can I understand you if you just keep on cursing like that in front of my face?” he responded. “Also, please lower your voice. People around keeps looking at us.”Ignoring his words, I raised my glass and drank one shot.“Tell me what happened. Is this about Isa again?”Isa?Right. Since I became Edward’s friend, he only heard me complaining about Isa or Geoffrey. So, he might be thinking that I got into trouble again with those two.“If this is about Isa, you should stop it, bro. You’re already married.”“Lower your voice,” I said. “Don’t utter her name that recklessly.”
Married with the Brokenhearted CEO Chapter 54
Is that the reason why you asked me to make you pregnant before the divorce?Because until now, you believe that there is no us. That someone owns my heart and you don’t stand a chance to even touch it, or just look at it.Yet, I cannot blame you.You are a person who doesn’t need love because you never received. And here I am, a living proof for you that relationship is as just a term.I looked at my wife who was sleeping in my arms and felt the throbbing pain inside my chest.Sorry is not enough.Kneeling in front of her isn’t enough too.Right at this moment, I just want to kill myself for letting you see that.“Adira and I aren’t in a relationship,” Geoffrey said.I stared back at him with embarrassment written on my face.I hate it that they came together but… Who am I to feel this? What rights do I have to shout and utter my disappointment?I am just a husband in paper.A husband who wronged her all the time.“But if you keep being a bastard, I don’t know what I might do next, Ch

Geoffrey’s POV As a 32-year-old man, I never thought that I will bring a drunk married woman back to her house. I have choices which tell me not to do it. First, I’ll feel damn meeting Chadwick again. Second, he will misunderstand my relationship with his wife. However, I ignored all of those sensible thoughts with the excuse that I had to teach him a lesson. “Why are you with my wife?” he asked. The three of us were standing at the entrance. Adira was half conscious on my arms while Chadwick was in front of me. Before I replied, my eyes slowly slipped into his empty fingers. It's true. Just like Adira said, they both aren't wearing their wedding rings because their relationship doesn't involve romantic feelings. “Good eve, Sir,” I greeted. “I am a bartender in a bar and your wife got so drunk. That’s why I brought her back home.” I knew that my excuse didn't make any sense. In fact, my decision to bring her in front of her husband is the meanest idea out of hundred options. Bu
Married with the Brokenhearted CEO Chapter 56
When Geoffrey and Isa left, Adira and Chadwick stood near the entrance for couple of seconds. Her eyes stared at the wedding ring on her husband left hand, fourth finger.Adira can clearly remember the day Chadwick said that there’s no need for them to wear their wedding ring, unless they will attend parties, special event, press conference and projects together. From that day onward, she can use her 10 fingers to count the days when they wore their rings. Yet among those days, there is no occasion when they wore it inside their house; a place where they don’t need to deceive anyone.That occurrence, however, changed as of today.Chadwick turned around to Adira. He caught him looking at his left hand which made him freeze for a moment. He, then, remembered what he did last night.‘The ring!’ he gasped inwardly.Swiftly like a thief who hid after hearing the owner’s footsteps, Chadwick hid his both hands behind his back.Quiet fell upon the house as they stood in front of each other, no

For the tenth times, Geoffrey sighed again while standing at the counter of the bar. He regretted telling everything to Isa. But he couldn’t help it. He had to be courageous if he wanted to get Adira.‘What made me confused is that ring,’ he thought.He clearly saw the wedding ring on Chadwick’s finger. Last night, he seen none of it.So, all day, he kept on thinking his reason for suddenly wearing the ring.Is it because Geoffrey came to their house last night?Because he has pride?Or is it because…‘He’s jealous?’No matter how he thinks, it is impossible for him to believe that Chadwick did get jealous.“Chadwick only likes Isa,” he murmured.One evidence is the incident at the party. Chadwick left Adira alone on the stage. Then in the parking lot, Isa and Chadwick kissed each other. What’s more to prove that Chadwick's heart is still with his stepsister?“Haaaa,” Geoffrey sighed again for the 11th time.“Hey, are you a sighing machine?” his friend, Vernon, asked him. He walked clo

Chadwick told Neil to just send him off in front of his house.He hopped down from the car and dragged his feet on the way to the gate.The sky is already dark. He came home after working so hard, hoping that being busy will help him forget his worries. But at the end of the day, there is always Adira inside his mind.“Haaa,” Chadwick sighed while walking.The reason why Chadwick asked Neil to just send him off outside his house is because he does not want Adira to know that he’s home. If Neil parked the car outside instead of the garage, then Chadwick can stall time before going in.In the middle of the road, Chadwick saw a rock which was lost in the smooth asphalt. He kicked it while walking.Roll. Again, he kicked it until it went near the trash can on the side. As he lifted his eyes, he saw a taxi that stopped in front of their gate.Chadwick stopped walking and watched the taxi. Then, he saw his wife’s silhouette. As soon as he saw Adira coming out from the taxi, he quickly hid

“Give me one ice Americano please. The regular one.”“That would be $5 sir.”Neil gave his card. The employee swiped the card and gave it back to him. “Please sit first, sir. We will serve your coffee once it ready.”“Alright~” He put his card back to his wallet and took a seat.It’s already 11pm in the evening. Inside a coffee shop that opens 24 hours, there are few customers around. Neil looked around and sighed.Today is another tiring day.He stared at the space and then remembered what just happened before he came here.[When he sent his home back to his house, Chadwick hopped down from the car with grimace. Neil did not know why he’s boss is feeling so down. But he’s sure it has something to do with Adira.Then while Neil was watching Chadwick walked sluggishly like a sloth, he saw the taxi parked in front of the gate. Next, Adira hopped down from the taxi.As fast as lightning, Neil watched how his boss threw himself near the garbage bags and cans just to hide from Adira.“Oh? W

Chadwick woke up on his bed.Summer is over but winter is still far. However, laying down alone on the bed makes his heart feel as if someone threw it on the pile of snow.With a groan, Chadwick sat up. He stared at the door where he always looked at.When he was still avoiding Adira, he used to gawk at the door and wait until she got out of the house. He did not want to see her face only in the morning. Because if they meet, Adira will only force him to have a sex with him.But after he realized his feelings for her, an opposite proposition came. He always wanted to see her, to be with her, to call her crazy and to laugh at her ridiculous ideas.He never thought that a day would come when he misses how Adira clings stubbornly at him. Now, Adira is gone.He walked out of his room and observed the silent house.There is a sign of Adira. It is the lavender scent that she used when she’s taking a bath.Chadwick looked at the closed door of her room.If she bathed early this morning, that

Adira’s POV Often, when someone has a head injury, she won’t remember the details of the accident. What happened, how she got hurt and who’s with her during the incident. But as soon as opened my eyes, everything came to me so vividly. I recalled how I saw the sign board above that was swaying down, when I looked at Chadwick who was standing beneath, when I ran towards his side and when I pushed him away and got hurt instead. Above all, the realization I had while running towards him came to me like a wave. It wasn’t calm, gentle, or destructive. Just… something I expected ever since I admitted that it might be possible to fall in love. I blinked my eyes slowly while looking at the white ceiling above the hospital room. Back then, I really thought I saw the underworld. But it really seems that someone like me was blessed with long life. As I was inwardly about to laugh, a voice called me. “A-Adira?” My numb body, which did not move for long hours, tingled as I turned my head t
