Lexi’s POVMy chest hurt as I left Reece’s office, her voice telling me that Ivan was getting engaged kept replaying in my head and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t let it go.Getting into my car, I yelled as loud as my lungs could, hitting the steering wheel and also jamming my head right into it in hopes that I was going to suffer a concussion that’ll make me lose my memory too.I really needed to forget all of this, it was causing me so much pain and I’ve gotten to my threshold. I can’t have myself thinking about it anymore but I also can’t seem to stop thinking about it.“Why is this happening to me? Why?” I questioned no one in particular, I resented my life and now I feel like I’d actually die.Clutching the steering wheel tightly, I drove off with nowhere in particular in mind. I didn’t want to go back to Camille’s apartment just yet because I’m going to be the only one home so I just decided to drive around.My phone chimed and I picked it up to see that it was a message
Lexi’s POV‘Crazy lady.’ Ivan’s words kept ringing in my head and there was nothing I could do about it. My chest hurt so much and my entire being was broken but he already made his choice.Whether consciously or not, he already chose who he wants to be with now and that person isn’t me. Dejected, I walked back to my car with lots of thoughts running through my mind.Maybe it won’t be such a terrible idea to leave the city like Andrei and Reece had suggested.My drive back to Camille’s apartment was a silent one and not because there was no one I could talk to in the car with me but because I was lost in my own head.“Where have you been? I was so worried about you.” Camille’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts as soon as I stepped inside the apartment,Jumping, I clutched my chest out of fear, I really wasn’t expecting her to get off work so early but she already told me that she was going to.Shrugging, I made my way to my room with Camille following closely behind me. I honestly co
Lexi’s POVThe flight was exhausting despite the fact that I slept throughout the flight, my body felt like it was going to shut down anytime soon and the worms in my stomach didn't seem too happy with me.Checking into the hotel the cab driver recommended to me because it’s affordable and also nice. I ordered dinner when my stomach wouldn’t stop growling and I laid on the bed while I waited for my food to come.Curling up like a wet cat, I thought about Ivan again but the tears that always dropped whenever I thought about him didn’t even do as little as well up in my eyes.I was exhausted, my body ached and my heart was in my stomach. I felt cold despite the fact that the heater in the room was working perfectly.How is he doing now? Does he at-least try to remember who I am and why I’m so persistent.Questions ran through my mind but soon came to a halt when I heard a soft knock on the door, sniffling, I did my robe and went to answer the door.The aroma of the food was so alluring
Lexi’s POV“Can I see the rest of the apartment?” I asked after checking the interior, “I meant outside and stuff?” I added when I realized that she doesn’t understand what I meant.Ma’am Deborah, the landlady of the apartment I’m checking out, and I walked out of the house and to the backyard.Everything about the apartment was Serene, it had a garden view and it’s so silent that I knew if I wanted to, I could actually hear myself think.The landlady is also a nice woman and I saw no reason as to why I shouldn’t take this, it’s affordable and if I wanted to, I could get a pet dog for my babies and I.“So,” ma’am Deborah’s voice put a halt to my thoughts as I turned to see her smiling widely at me, “Do you like it?” She asked and I nodded, making my way closer to her.“I love it, I mean, it’s everything anyone could ask for and I’m not greedy.” I laughed, she took my hand and followed me back into the house.I was ready, I could see myself living a happy life here and I really don’t w
Ivan’s POVIt’s been more than two long weeks of staying at home and I can’t wait to finally return to work, especially after all of the madness that I’ve had to endure.Thank goodness this Lexi is finally gone and out of my life.Groaning, I turned to plant a kiss on Celine’s forehead as I stood to get ready for work as I already have tons of meetings lined up for me with other paperworks to tend to.Finally ready for work, I made my way out of the house and to the car. I’ve spent weeks of my life allowing people to do things for me so I decided that I was going to resume doing things by myself.Despite being alone in the car, the air inside seemed tense. I felt so hot from within me that I had to loosen my tie and undo the first three buttons of my shirts.The drive through this road was bringing back memories, different memories that I couldn’t really place a finger on but I knew it was with a special someone and oddly enough the person doesn’t seem to be Celine.I closed my eyes t
Ivan’s POVThe meeting ended and I couldn’t be any more grateful. I brought out the prepared contract and passed it to everyone on the table and I watched their facial expression change.“You know what, Mr Alessio?” One of them finally spoke, breaking the silence. Whatever is going to come with what he intends to say wouldn’t be good news, I just know it.“We need some time to really think about it, we need to know if we’re really ready to invest such a huge amount of money into this so please, give us some time to think about it.” He smiled as they all returned the piece of papers back to me.My chest tightened and my fist clenched in anger, I could feel my blood boiling and I knew that their decision to think about it was probably because of my assistant, the same assistant I know absolutely nothing about.“It’s fine, I understand it’s a huge step to take so please take all the time you need.” I smiled even though that’s not the answer I planned on giving them.It’s strange, none of
Ivan’s POV“I’m sorry, what?” She said, like she hadn’t heard my question. Releasing her from my grip, I took a step back as I closed my eyes tightly and pinched the bridge of my nose.It was stressing me out, everything was overwhelming and I have no idea how long I can go on for before I actually go crazy.“It’s like everywhere I turn to all everyone can talk about is Lexi,” I started, “I almost lost a really huge contract today, which I have no idea if I still have it, because she didn’t follow me so I’m asking you, Celine, who is she?” I finished as I stared at her.I could see the anger in her eyes as they bore into mine but this time I don’t care if she’s angry or not, I’m not going to let her act like I have no right to know about Lexi because I know that I do.“Did you decide to call off the wedding and give yourself time because of Lexi?” She finally talked with her eyes open wide.“Why would you be talking about her when we’ve only just started living good?!” She yelled when
Lexi’s POVWhat was I thinking when I just called him like that?Honestly, I have absolutely no idea why I did but the good news I just got was so good that I couldn’t think of anyone else to call. I knew that I should’ve called Camille but deep down I wanted to call Ivan and share the good news with him too.I’d forgotten that if we were in good times then I wouldn’t be here in the first place, I wouldn’t be in search of a job and I wouldn’t be living alone.Sighing, I hung the call up so that I wouldn’t be tempted to say anything. I could tell that he was still sleeping from how husky his voice sounded.That voice still has a huge effect on me and I could feel my pussy squirting at the sound of his voice, cold chills ran down my spine and I knew that I was going to say something extremely stupid if I stayed on the phone.Calling Camille, she picked up on the third ring and her voice was sleepy too but soon cleared as soon as she heard my voice.“I got the job!” I shrieked and Camill
