Pursuing My EX Wife Eighteen
The party has already started before she got there. Lilian glided into the party, her red dress flowing gracefully around her. The sharp click of her heels echoed in the bustling room, a confident rhythm that announced her arrival.As soon as the CEO spotted her, he moved forward with a welcoming smile. “Hello, Miss Lilian! I'm glad you made it,” he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.Lilian surveyed the hall. Though the gathering was modest, it buzzed with distinguished guests, each one deep in conversation and laughter.There were also several company bosses at the dinner and everyone was drinking and chatting happily. “Yes, hope you are fine?” Lilian asked him with a soft smile on her face.“Of course. Is Mr Moses here too?” He asked as he looked behind her. Lilian smiled, “No he is not coming” She answered.He was a bit disappointed because he felt that Lilian might not really be good in this but he was still happy regardless because at least she showed up. “Come and have a sit h

“Do you even know how to play it?” Marcus asked in a cold tone. Marcus's eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening as he watched Lilian roll the dice. A flicker of disbelief crossed his face, as if he expected her confidence to crumble at any moment.Lilian ignored him and acted like she did not hear his words.They started the game.The first person threw a dice and will ask the person next to it to guess the number of dice. If the person guesses wrong. The loser will drink alcohol.Soon it got to Lilian’s turn, she looked at the dice carefully as the person used his hand and covered it. “Seven” Lilian said.The person removed his hand and she was right. It was really seven. A rush of excitement surged through Lilian as the dice revealed the number. She couldn't help but smile, the thrill of the game igniting a sense of confidence she hadn't felt in a long time. Maybe this night would turn out better than she expected.Marcus crossed his arms, a skeptical frown etched on his face.As Lil

CEO rave now expression lit up when he saw this. He smiled, because he knew that she had failed even before she starts.“That is a deal then” He said with a smile.“Lilian” Nicole called, with a worried expression on his face.Lilian smiled at him reassuringly.Marcus looked at them, the anger in his eyes intensified because he sees it as them flirting with each other.Lilian walked up to Marcus with a glass of wine in her hand.She smiled sweetly. “Please have a drink with me,” Lilian said.Marcus looked at her wondering if she would really forgive him, maybe that is why she was offering him a glass of wine.“Do you finally come back to your senses?” Marcus asked in a low tone. Lilian rolled her eyes when she heard this. “Are you drinking or not?” She asked him.Marcus wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to his chest. Her hot breath fanned his face and he gulped.Marcus stiffened slightly and a boiling hot blood surged within him.He actually got a hard on?Lil

Lilian turned and saw Nicole standing a bit far away from them.“Get lost” Marcus said to Nicole with a cold expression.Nicole was intimidated but he did not leave just like that because he felt what will Lilian think about him if he acted just like a coward.“You are holding a woman against her will, I’m sure your fiancée will not be happy seeing that her fiancé is like this right?” He asked him with a smile on his face.This made Marcus frowned when he heard this. And his hand loosened on Lilian a bit.Lilian raised an eyebrow when she saw this. So he is so scared of Lily? She thought.Lilian jerked her shoulder, breaking free from Marcus's grip, and stepped toward Nicole, a determined glint in her eye.Marcus wanted to chase after her but he is still a bit cautious because there might be a reporter around or a camera.As Lilian and Nicole stepped out of the restroom, a sense of relief washed over her. She turned to him, her smile brightening the dim corridor, grateful for his supp

The next day when Marcus and his assistant arrived, the company was a bit disorganized and frenzy which was a bit surprising because it rarely happens.“What is wrong?” Marcus asked his employees with a frown on his face.“The company has been hacked. I fear that some important documents will get stolen” The secretary immediately answered.Marcus's heart raced, and his breath caught in his throat. He stared at the secretary, disbelief clouding his mind as he processed her words. The office around him blurred, the hum of chaos fading as he grappled with the reality of the breach. “What? How did that happen?” He asked.The secretary was also clueless. She had no idea what happened either. “I don’t really know,” She answered with a helpless expression.Marcus frowned. “Have you called the company hackers to check it?” He asked her.The secretary nodded. “They are already in the office now,” She answered.Marcus frowned. “Lead the way,” He said to her.The secretary nodded and turned to w

“If you continue disturbing her, I will make sure all these information reaches your competitors email” The new message.A chill ran down Marcus's spine as the implications of the hacker's threat settled in. He sat frozen for a moment, the air in the room suddenly feeling thick and suffocating. Images of shattered reputations and lost trust flashed through his mind, each more daunting than the last. His hands gripped the edge of the desk, knuckling white as he fought against the swell of anxiety rising within him.Marcus tried to reply the email, but it says “Not sent”He wanted to ask who is the “Her” he keeps talking about. The only woman he has been with since was Lily. Then he immediately recalled Lilian. ‘Could it be her?’ He thought.Marcus shook his head, trying to dispel the nagging thoughts swirling in his mind. He pressed his palms against his temples, the tension building like a vice. The mere idea that Lilian could be involved felt absurd, yet the thought clung to him, r

She wrapped her arms around Moses, pulling him close. "Brother!" she exclaimed, her voice warm and inviting, as if the embrace alone could erase any distance between them. “How was your day? Hope you were not feeling too bored?” Moses asked her with a smile on his face.Lilian nodded her head. “Well, it was fine” She said.Moses sat down on the couch. While Matt went to sit beside Lilian back, so Moses was facing them directly.“How was the office today?” Lilian asked him. She was supposed to go with him but Moses said no, that she needs to rest afte

As Lilian stepped into the office, the familiar buzz of activity enveloped her. Heads turned, and friendly smiles greeted her like a warm embrace. "Hey, Lilian! How are you?" one colleague called out, concerned with threading through their voice. She offered a reassuring smile, but inside, she felt a flutter of uncertainty. "I'm fine, just needed a day to recharge," she replied.Lilian told them she was alright before she used the elevator to the office.She sat down in her office, it was very close to Moses’s office since she was his personal assistant anyways.There were some workload piled up in her desk she guessed it was probably from the secretary because she knew Moses will not leave those wor

“Does she come here often?” Marcus asked the waiter, his tone sharp and commanding. His dark eyes bore into the man behind the counter, leaving little room for hesitation.“W-who?” the waiter stammered, clearly startled.“The lady who just left,” Marcus clarified, his frown deepening. He was already irritated, and the waiter’s stuttering response wasn’t helping.“Oh, yes! Yes, she does,” the waiter replied quickly, nodding as if the movement might save him from further questioning.Marcus gave a slight nod of acknowledgment but said nothing further. He turned and walked back toward Nick, his frustration evident in his measured steps.“Let’s go,” Marcus said curtly, his voice low and tense.Nick raised an eyebrow, watching his friend with an amused smirk. “What did you ask him? You scared the guy half to death,” he teased, his tone light despite Marcus’s evident bad mood.Marcus ignored him, striding toward his car with purpose. He unlocked it with a click and slid into the driver’s se

Here is the expanded, revised version of your chapter with enhanced detail, improved flow, and grammar corrections, extended to about 1000 words while strictly maintaining your original scenes:Lilian did not notice Marcus when she entered the coffee shop. Her eyes swept briefly over the tables and customers, but she seemed preoccupied, heading directly to the counter where a young waiter stood, looking a bit tired.“Hello, I need two cups of coffee,” she said politely, her tone calm yet firm.The waiter looked up, slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected such politeness from her for some reason. “Do you want an Americano or just regular coffee?” he asked with a smile, trying to be friendly.“Regular,” Lilian replied without hesitation, her gaze fixed on the menu board above his head, though it was clear she wasn’t really reading it.“Alright, please hold on,” the waiter said as he quickly began preparing the order. He glanced back at Lilian, curious about her demeanor. There was someth

Marcus and his friend Nick decided to collaborate on a project. They went to a nearby restaurant to grab some coffee and finalize the document they had been working on. It was a busy afternoon, and the café was filled with people chatting, sipping their drinks, and typing away on laptops. The smell of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.Sitting across from each other at a small round table, they both took a moment to enjoy their drinks. The clinking of cups and the hum of conversation around them created a comfortable background noise. Nick took a sip of his coffee and then glanced up at Marcus with a curious expression.“When are you getting married to Lily?” Nick asked suddenly, raising an eyebrow. It was a question that seemed to come out of nowhere, catching Marcus off guard.Marcus frowned slightly. The idea of marrying Lily had been floating around for a while, but something about it didn’t feel right. He couldn’t quite put his fin

Lilian swiftly finished typing the last few sentences of her report and double-checked the numbers in her spreadsheet. Satisfied, she saved her work and closed her laptop. With a sigh of relief, she leaned back in her chair, stretching out her arms to release the tension from a long day of staring at the screen.It was already past 5 PM, and she knew her brother Moses had gone to pick up their younger cousin, Matt, from school. That meant she didn’t have to worry about running any errands today. She could head home straight from work, and she was looking forward to a quiet evening to herself—maybe a nice takeout dinner and a movie.Grabbing her bag and slinging it over her shoulder, Lilian took one last look around her desk, making sure everything was in order. She flipped off her desk lamp and made her way to the door, her heels clicking softly on the polished floor.She pressed the elevator button and waited, glancing around the nearly empty office floor. Most of her coworkers had a

Marcus’ assistant walked in the moment Marcus called for him.“Sir, you called for me?” His assistant asked respectfully.“Give the gift to her,” Marcus said, running a hand through his hair, his expression serious but a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.“What?” His assistant was stunned. He knew the gift was meant for Lilian, not Lily. He was shocked by Marcus’ change of mind.“Didn’t you hear me?” Lily said, her voice dripping with a mixture of smug satisfaction and playful confidence. “I asked you earlier when I saw you at the receptionist’s desk if the gift was for you, and you told me no. So, it’s clearly meant for me now, right?”Her words stung, but Marcus’ assistant kept his thoughts to himself. But it’s really not for you, he thought inwardly, though he dared not challenge his superior’s decision.“Alright, I will bring the gift then,” the assistant said, bowing slightly before turning to leave. “Please excuse me, Miss Lily.”Lily watched him walk out of the office with a sati

Back at the CompanyMarcus sat in his office, dressed in his finest suit, checking his wristwatch for the umpteenth time. The moment had finally come. He had carefully planned this. It had been years since he last saw Lilian—since they were married, in fact—but today, he hoped to make a gesture that might bring them back together. He had chosen a beautiful dress and a bouquet of flowers, hoping they would remind Lilian of the good times they once shared.Marcus reached for the small bottle of perfume on his desk. It was a gift from Lilian, given to him when they were still together. He hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time, but now, as he spritzed it onto his wrist, he realized how pleasant it smelled. He had never truly appreciated it before. The fragrance seemed to envelop him with a sense of nostalgia.He took one last look in the mirror, checking his appearance. His hair, freshly trimmed by his stylist yesterday, was perfectly styled. He had tried to look his best for this

The office phone rang, slicing through the quiet of Lilian’s workday. She glanced at the screen, slightly annoyed by the interruption. Without hesitation, she picked up the receiver.“Hello?” she answered, her voice steady but laced with curiosity.“Miss Lilian, there’s a delivery for you—flowers and a gown,” the receptionist said, her tone a little shy, as if unsure how to break the news.Lilian’s brow furrowed at the mention of a delivery. She hadn’t ordered anything, and she wasn’t expecting a gift from anyone. The idea felt foreign, almost out of place.“Oh?” she replied, her voice tinged with suspicion. She raised an eyebrow. “I’ll be downstairs in a moment,” she added, before hanging up and standing from her desk.As Lilian stood up, her heart began to beat a little faster. It wasn’t fear—more a sense of confusion. The unexpected nature of the delivery threw her off. Who could be sending her flowers and a gown? It seemed unlike her to have such surprises.She walked out of her o

“What the hell?” Mrs. Thompson exclaimed, her eyes glued to the screen.Aria was caught off guard. She had just come back from dropping her cousin off at school and was entering the house when she heard her mother’s exclamation.“What’s wrong?” Aria asked, her voice filled with confusion.“She’s back!” Mrs. Thompson said, her frown deepening as she pointed at the TV.Aria blinked in confusion. “Who?” she asked, still trying to make sense of the situation.“Lilian,” Mrs. Thompson replied, her voice laced with distaste, her finger still pointing at the screen.Aria followed her mother’s gaze to the TV. On the screen, Lilian was standing behind Moses during an interview. Aria’s eyes immediately landed on Moses, her breath catching in her throat.‘He looks so handsome,’ she muttered to herself, a dreamy expression forming on her face.“Did you say something?” Mrs. Thompson asked, her tone sharp as she turned to look at her daughter. She had caught the murmur but wasn’t sure what Aria had

Lilian stepped into the office, her heels clicking on the polished floor. As she did, she cleared her throat, the sound cutting through the tense air. Her eyes immediately landed on Emily, who stood too close to her brother’s desk, acting as though she was busy with something important. When Emily saw Lilian walk in, she stiffened, her face paling. She quickly stepped back, trying to act casual, but it was obvious she was caught off guard.Before Lilian had entered, Emily had assumed that Lilian must have taken the day off. That’s why she had taken the opportunity to come into the office herself, pretending to deliver some documents. Her true intentions, however, were less than professional. Emily had been hoping to get closer to Moses, perhaps to gain his attention, or more. But now, with Lilian standing in the doorway, all of that was quickly falling apart.Lilian’s eyes narrowed as she scanned the room, noticing Moses asleep at his desk, looking slightly disheveled. She couldn’t h
