Mr Darlington Ex Wife Chapter 41
Darlington Briggs:The following morning, I woke up early with a headache. I exit the guestroom and went back to my bedroom upstairs. It was 6 am so most of my family members were still asleep.I entered my sitting room and approached my bedroom door. Knocking on the door, I heard no response from Amara. I didn't want to bump into a naked woman, as I knew how I struggled to sleep the previous night.Slowly, I pushed my bedroom door opened and entered the room. I heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom and knew that Amara was in there, taking her bath.I sighed, went to my closet and selected out the suit and necktie I would wear, alongside my pair of shoes.I awaited for Amara to emerge from the bathroom and she did, tying a white towel around her chest, then she walked up to me to enter the closet.Observing that Amara didn't want to greet me, I pulled her by her wet arm, and swirl her around to face me. "Can't you greet?" I demanded."Stop touching me! I am not your wife f
Mr Darlington Ex Wife Chapter 42
Amara's POV I did not know how to feel about going to the Briggs groups. When I was in the countryside, My father usually spoke so much about his partnership with Mr. Joshua Briggs. Mr. Joshua usually visited us, although then, I wasn't really interested in getting to know the business he had with my father. I am aware that Mr. Joshua Briggs much like my dad has many legal business running under his company name. He gives out loans as well as support small growing companies too. I was eager to resume in their company, just to be leaving home and spending more time with Darlington. Well, I didn't have to worry about the possibility of the love of his life coming to his office to see him and to kiss him in my presence. Gross! That would hurt. Well, I didn't respond to Darlington's statement in his car. Pulling the back door opened, I got into the back car, fastened my seatbelt and ordered him, "Start the car." "Hmm, you don't order me around," Darlington said, meeting his eyes in

Darlington Briggs:While attending to my clients for the day, I didn't bother to check on Amara or to introduce her to any of the staff because she was my wife."No way," I said. I picked up my phone and immediately called Mrs. Sarah to get me lunch. Mrs. Sarah is a young lady in her twenties, but she is older than Amara. While spending time with work in my office, I picked up my phone and called Sarah, informing her of what to get for me.After my phone call, I waited for Sarah's arrival, but I was a bit curious to know what Amara was into.A few minutes later, Sarah arrived with my lunch and set it in the space on my desk."How about the new lady I introduced to you earlier today?" I inquired about Amara. I didn't want to refer to Amara as my wife, not when I'm still in a relationship with Jenna."Sir, I have taken her to Henry Brown's office, and so far, there has been no bad report about her." Sarah reported it to me. "I see. You may leave," I dismissed Sarah, feeling unsettling

Darlington's POV Not saying a single word to Amara, I started my car and finally drove out of the company. She was equally silent, and after hours of driving, we soon arrived home. I waited for the security guy to pull the gate open, then I maneuvered my car into the premises and parked. Amara was the first to get out of my car, and as I got out, I saw my father standing at the mansion's front with a warm smile playing on his face. I watched Amara walk up to meet him. Approaching him, she greeted my father, "Good evening, sir." "Welcome, my daughter-in-law; how was your first day at work?" Dad asked Amara. Only then did it dawn on me that I didn't even remember to ask Amara how her day at work was, not after seeing her laughing and playing with Henry. I decided to set boundaries between them. As much as I didn't want Anara as my wife, that didn't mean I would overlook her for flirting with the men in my firm. Amara was pretty, and I know Henry was still single and unmarried.

Darlington's POV "Ifeoma, Allow Darlington to go and call his wife, or isn't that what he was about to do?" My dad queried my mom. "No, dad," I replied after seeing my mother frown. "Don't say I didn't warn you, Darlington. I already tried my best by helping you to marry a good wife; it's left for you to treat her good or bad," Dad said, and he added, "Let's start eating." After I finished having my dinner in the dining room downstairs, I made my way back upstairs, and the sound of water reached my ears. I overheard Amara singing in the bathroom, and I felt drawn to listening to her melodic voice. It was enchanting at that late hour. I stood there by the bathroom door, knowing Amara was in there and bathing. I remember the last time I saw her naked. My body turned hard, tempting me to push the bathroom door open, storm in, and take her from there, but remembering my promise to Jenna, I was conflicted. The bathroom door pushed open, and Amara got out and stared at me in shock. "
Mr Darlington Ex Wife Chapter 46
Amara's POV I had already called my dad as soon as I awoke and informed him that I wanted to continue working at Briggs Group. I used getting closer to Darlington as an excuse; my dad believed me, and I went to prepare, not seeing Darlington on the bed.I remember him holding me the previous night, and with the way his eyes kept staring at me with desire while his actions spoke otherwise, I didn't know what to do with him.I was surprised to have woken up and found out that he wasn't in the room. I thought he probably went out that night, but surprisingly, he was in the house and still in his robe, looking tired with dark circles around his eyes.He didn't look like the handsome man I met the first day I arrived. Well, I couldn't care anymore, as I was tired of trying to win him over. Since he didn't want me, I thought about making friends at his company before I left; that way, I would have more partners when I finally left for the countryside to control my father's business.I remem

Darlington's POV I awaited for Henry Brown to show up in my office after I sent Mrs. Sarah away to summon him immediately after entering my premises. I was still irritated, remembering how Amara had chased after Henry to collect his phone number and also smiling at him. I knew I was to blame for not introducing Amara as my wife. I heard the knock on my door, and Henry walked in, dressed in his black suit. "Good morning, sir. You sent for me," Henry said as he stepped into my office. He walked up to my front desk and stopped. How do I start? "Yes, I sent for you. I want you to assign a new coach to Amara Nicholas to guide her in her role here with us so that she can be focused," I said, not wanting to disclose that Amara was my wife. "Okay, boss. Is there anything else that you would like me to do concerning Amara Nicholas?" Henry asked, and he stood staring at me. "No, that's all. You may leave." I dismissed Henry and felt better after he left. After Amara showed up in my li

Darlington's POV We went into the Restaurant and settled on the same table. Unlike at the company cafe where we had to sit apart. I observed Amara's face as she stared around the Restaurant until our eyes met. The waitress came to take our order. "What would you like to eat?" I asked Amara, and she stared at the menu and frowned a little. "The meals are too expensive," she said. "So, just pick one and stop acting local here," I said to Amara, and she finally ordered fried rice and meat. "Hmm, bring the same for me too," I told the waitress who attended to us. After she left us, Amara said, "Isn't it better we eat at home? This is just a waste of money." "It's my money. Let's not talk about this, and you should try not to embarrass me in public settings like this again," I said, looking at Amara. She frowned and looked away. Soon, our meals arrived. The Restaurant was very large, and mostly the affluent people came here to have their special delicacies served. I was expecting

Jenna Colton. "Huh!" My jaw dropped as I saw Collins with a golden ring, down on one knee in front of everyone, proposing to me. We stood in the hallway, not disturbing the others who had come for emergency treatment. Since it was no longer clinic hours, the hospital was less crowded than it usually was in the morning when a lot of outpatients filled the lobby and hallways. "Aww!" My eyes welled up with tears as I saw some fans pulling out their phones to record me. They awaited my response, and since I wanted to get out of the hospital ward quickly, I said yes, knowing that this was a new chapter of my life. Since Collins was ready to marry me, not minding my flaws and wanting to have me as his wife, I had to accept his ring. So I told him, "Yes. I accept." Collins slipped the engagement ring onto my left finger, and tears of joy welled up in my eyes as I hugged him heartily just as he rose. He was taller than me, and he didn't press to kiss me. We just hugged. "Congratulations

I went back downstairs, entered my car, and drove home.My phone rang in the car, but I was in no mood to pick it up.I cried as I found my way home. Soon, I arrived at my father's compound and wanted to drive in, but I recalled my mother would be at home. I then navigated the car and drove to the hospital to see my father.I arrived at the hospital where my father was admitted. I parked my car in the parking lot, and my phone rang again.I wanted to ignore the call as my crying could have made my voice break, and I didn't want to inform my mother about it or make her aware of my broken heart.I took up my handkerchief, wiped my face, and finally got out of the car as I proceeded into the hospital to check with th

**Jenna Colton** I awoke in my room to a fresh start of a new day. I decided to visit Darlington at his company to see him directly, rather than just talking over the phone as we had been trying to do. I knew that Darlington had blocked me, but I still wanted to see him. It had been a week since Darlington told me off and asked me to move on, but I didn’t want to adhere to it. Also, Lily’s brother had invited me to one of his clubs to meet with him, but I didn’t want to visit him. I desired to meet with Darlington first to know if there was still any hope of our relationship rekindling. After finishing my bath, I got out of the bathroom and dressed in a blue sleeveless dress, wanting to look pretty as I paired it with black shoes. I stepped out of my closet and went to adjust my hair in front of my room mirror. I wanted to look presentable before Darlington, so I exited the house, holding onto my car key and my black purse. So far, my father had been improving in his health, but

Amara's POV:I awoke in the bedroom to a brand new morning, and Darlington was preparing to leave for his office. I hadn't expected the wedding gift he bought for me the previous night. I thought he was trying to reconnect with his ex, but he proved me wrong by telling me he had blocked Jenna and didn't want to have anything to do with her again.I smiled as I observed Darlington stepping out of the bathroom and walking up to the luxurious king-sized bed to meet me.He sat on the bed, water dripping from his wet hair, and drew nearer to me. "How are you and my baby doing?""I'm fine; our baby and I are good," I replied, a cute blush on my face. Darlington smiled and said, "That's good. I'm going to the office today. You remember that your dad wants to partner with me. Although he mentioned he would like you to be present, he hasn't spoken about the date for signing the partnership deal.""Does my dad want to come and visit us?" I asked Darlington as I watched him dry off his wet mascu

Jenna's POV:"Seriously, Jenna. You're very funny. Do you know that my brother has been your fan since forever? He really likes you and told me that you're his kind of woman. Hot and spicy," Lily teased me."That's enough of the teasing, Lily," I shouted at her. "I know you want me to move on from Darlington too, but I guess you haven't honestly been in love.""Oh, really? Tell me what love is all about," Lily inquired. I shook my head and went to pack my handbag that my younger sister, Rita, had brought from home."I don't have time to teach you about love. But I know what I want, and what I want, I shall get."Lily's eyes widened as I looked at her, and she burst out laughing once more. "Hahaha, how do you plan to win Darlington back? Tell me. Do you intend to kidnap him and force him to marry you, or do you want to harm his wife and eliminate her to have Darlington all to yourself now?"I paused packing my handbag and looked back at Lily's face."None of the suggestions. I know wha

Jenna's POV:I was still in the hospital, awaiting discharge. Although my father's health had improved and he had been moved from the intensive care unit after waking up, he suffered from a stroke that impaired his left hand and left leg. The doctor informed us that, with time, my father would improve as the stroke didn't affect his vocal cords.I was saddened by this fact as I waited for Darlington, who had promised to show up. However, he didn't. I called his phone several times, but it was switched off.As it got late, I was free to move around my hospital ward. The doctor had treated me after I fainted, so I was no longer confined to the bed. I called Darlington again, knowing he would have closed from his office as it was already past 6 PM. However, Darlington phoned me and told me that he didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore and that he was now dedicated to his wife, Amara.I couldn't believe what Darlington was saying. I knew he was now officially married to Amara
Mr Darlington Ex Wife Chapter 126
Darlington's POV:"What's wrong, babe?" I asked Amara as I entered our shared bedroom. She didn't reply and instead walked back to the bed to lie down. She wore a long white nightdress and laid on her side, ignoring me and not welcoming me.I frowned, looking from my wife to my briefcase in my hands and the gift I had bought for her.It crossed my mind that she was sad, thinking I went to spend precious time with Jenna when I had been working hard in my office, sitting for hours in my executive chair and focusing on some projects. I would have felt more guilty if I had actually gone to see Jenna, especially since I had switched off my phone after I told her I wouldn’t be able to meet her."Babe," I called Amara's attention as I carefully dropped my briefcase on the couch in our cozy bedroom. I walked over to the bed covered with a white mattress to meet Amara."Babe," I said, sitting on the bed beside her, but she turned to the other side to look away from me, not wanting to speak.I
