Return Of My Ex Wife 08
KEIAThe alarm buzzed right at six and this time, I didn't hit snooze. Thankfully, I'd gone to bed early, so I was sharp and ready to tackle the day. I quickly sat up but carefully also, not to disturb Liana who was still curled up beside me, fast asleep. She had been generous enough to let me stay with her while I got back on my feet and waking her this early was the last thing I wanted.I knew she she had stayed up late, thinning about ehat had happened last night with the landlord. It was stressful, I knew, but it wouldn't be long before she'd get over it, I knew. She had a way of handling things, perhaps a gift. That was why I didn't argue with her when she told me she would take care of the landlord. I just hoped things would happen like she had said and nothing would go wrong. We could only hope.Getting out of bed, I grabbed my clothes and walked ro the bathroon. Looking at myself in the mirror, I was quickly reminded that I was a sidereal person now- not the s

KEIAGetting bafk to my office and desk, I tried focusing on the work he had given me but my mind was not at rest at all. That was because I kept thinking. Was he angry at me because I was late, or was he disappointed?There had been no signs of frustration, but that only made things a lot harder. Considering how silent he was, reading his mind would be extremely difficult, almost impossible. Shaking my head in an attempt to smap myself out of the chaos my mind had gotten into, I better myself."Focus, Keia," I whispered to myself but the more I tried to concentrate, the more I kept thinking about Sawyer. The way he looked so calm, and composed, indifferent. I got to work immediately and began typing up the reports.When I was dome, I quickly checked for errors. But yet again, the words all seemed blurry and my fingers moved like they had something else that wasn't me controlling them, almost as if they had a mind of their own. I double-checked the figures but most times I got lost. My

v SAWYERStaring at the minute hand of the clock, it seemed as if each tick marked every second that she was late. I kept checking the wall of the clock, then my watch as though either of them would tell a different time from the other. But it was altering right in my face, she was late. Where the hell was she then? I wondered. I was worried, not angry. My mind wouldn't stop going over all sorts of reasons why this was happening. Did she quit the job or did this have to do with the morning traffic. Or maybe... the thought sent a chill running through me. Maybe Artemis got her. The thought of my brother interfering made my stomach roll. Artemis wasn't the type of person who left things alone, especially if he thought they gave him control. But I told myself that considering what she had gone through, she wasn't going back to him any time soon. I didn't think there had been any sort of communication or connection between the both of them lately. Even as I thought abou

KEIAI'd noticed something the whole time since we'd come here. He'd been staring at me. I noticed it the moment we sat down to it but I tried to ignore it. I thought that was because of my being late. But I had apologised, right? I asked myself, but there still wasn't an answer about it yet. Maybe he was still mad about everything, I thought. I kept my eyes on the plate and focused instead on every bite of food as though it were the most interesting thing in the world. I had nowhere else to look and nothing else to do other than eat. His eyes didn't leave me. They didn't waver, and it felt like he was studying me. Each time I looked up at him, my heart jumped just a tiny bit because they were still focused on me. He was just there... watching. It made me uncomfortable because my mind soon began to go over everything that had happened. Why was he staring at me so hard like I was doing something wrong? My mind went back to me coning Kate today. Maybe he hadn't accepted my apology and

KEIAWhen he told me that he expected me to have lunch with him there, I was too shocked to day anything at first. Was that impulsive? Or was there really something behind it? I was forced to think he'd been impulsive because of the awkward drama that had happened back there but something in his eyes told me that it was more than that. It couldn't just be an awkward drama. I had opened my mouth to say something and maybe ask why he had even though I was going to agree to that but he cut me off before I could say anything. "If you're not going to listen to me, then maybe you should quit." I was so shocked by his words even though he sounded so calm, so matter-of-fact, as if he had all the power here. It was very clear from the foregoing that he was trying to make this command and not a request. And it was making me angry, but I had to clench my teeth and hold back my anger because I didn't want to do anything rash and destroy the way we had been relating. It was tense, to say the lea

KEIAMy whole body was buzzing with frustration when I walked into the house. I didn't know how I was going to call myself down because of how angry I felt. I was so angry that the moment I walked through the door, Liana looked up with her eyebrows raised. I could tell she was already worried about me but I didn't need anybody to do that for me. She was sitting on a couch, scrolling through her phone but the moment she saw my face and how agitated my movement was, she quickly set the phone down. "Good evening," I muttered before quickly throwing my purse on the couch and walking into the bedroom, still shaking with anger. I collapsed on the bed and let out a heavy sigh. I had no idea if I was going to be able to continue this way, I said to myself before pushing the thought away quickly. I was just angry and sometime in the future, probably very soon, I would get my things in order and hope things worked out for the best. The door opened and Liana walked in

KEIAHis voice on the phone was calm and collected as always. "Keia, I need you to pause that report you're working on. There is a new project on ground and it requires immediate attention." My brows arched immediately. I was confused. "A new project? But I'm just your secretary. Isn’t that more for your personal assistant?" I didn't hide the emotions as I spoke to him now. He needed to know that I wasn't just going to be quiet and take in everything he told me without questioning it. There was a pause and I imagined him giving me that same cold and unamused look that I saw often. I thought he was going to ask me not to worry about it but then he said. "Just save your work and come to my office." Those were his words before he hung up. He didn't even allow me to reply. Was that his way of coercing me into doing something he needed me to. He couldn't accept that this was his fault. I didn't have any other option so I just got up and saved my file and stood up. When I was done smoot

SAWYER Sitting in my office, I glanced over at Keia's desk through the glass wall. Even after what she had told me last time, she was still late today again. She was giving me reasons to suspect that she was lying, and that her lateness was habitual. She had rushed in and apologised to everyone she passed. I could tell from the look on her face that she was clearly stressed. But I didn't care much about her being late, I was irritated for another reason altogether. And that was wanting to see her. I was mad at myself for feeling like that but there was nothing I could do about it. The first time we met, it was nothing but a fleeting moment. And from the look of things, it was clear she didn't know I was the man from that night. It was just a night anyway, no names and no faces to remember, maybe for her, but not for me. She never mentioned it and I wasn't about to ask her. But the thought kept nagging at me. Did she ever think about it or was she just pretending it never happened?

KEIAIt was Impossible getting what she had said to me off my head. It stayed with me all night and kept replaying and coming back to me like some broken record."You'll wake up one day and realise that you deserved better... and you will send me away like I never existed." If that's what she thought about me even after everything that we had been through this whole time, then I had no idea where this was getting to. I used to think that maybe things would fall in line, but from what I had heard her say, it was clear that I was very wrong.Nothing was falling in line. Nothing. Keia really thought that I didn't care about her and that I was going to throw her away whenever I was done with her. Did she take me for Artemis? The thought that she could think of me like that was the reason I was angry. Why the hell would she have that opinion of me despite all that I have done to make her know that I loved her. She thought she was just a temporary fix and some sort of convenience.What did

KEIAI couldn't believe my ears when he said that. I stared at him for a long while, before looking back at my laptop, realising that I had been up all morning, stressing over nothing."Wait, you did what?" I asked as my brows came together in surprise.That was the last thing I expected to hear, especially with how lazy he had been acting since I tried waking him up. I thought last night had been too exerting, and he was just tired. He smirked before leaning casually against the headrest."I canceled everything for today. Called the company, cleared the schedule, and officially declared a holiday for us. Do you want to hear it again?" He asked, still smiling at me like there was something funny written on my face. I was no doubt surprised as I stared at him, then I folded my arms and asked."And why would you do that? Lemme guess- you're too late to go to work because you had a lot of wine last night. You remember telling me that this work never stops. That we have to get up each day

KEIAThe first thing that struck me the moment my eyes opened was the feeling of warmth beside me. It was comforting and familiar as well, so much that it made me smile even before I rolled over to see who it was. When I finally did, I realised that I was lying next to Sawyer.Another smile ripped out of my lips as I stared at him. His heart was draped over the pillow and his face was so relaxed and peaceful. It was very hard trying to look away from him. His features were just mesmerising. I'd seen him that way this whole time but last night was special, and it had created a different kind of bond between us, one that I prayed would last for a very long time.Last night was all I could have asked for, a moment of respite from all the madness that was going on around us. And he didn't shy away or reject my advances. He'd taken me passionately, and I wasn't going to forget any moment of it. It was simply magical."How did I end up with someone this good-looking?" I asked myself in a wh

SAWYERThe moment I started driving, my hands instinctively gripped the steering wheel a little tighter than usual as I glanced at her from the corner of my eyes. She wasn't saying anything and it gave me quite the fright. She was sitting stiffly in the passenger seat when her arms crossed and her eyes focused out the window. What I had done was very wrong. I should not have spoken to her like that. What was I thinking?"Keia," I started, hoping that our conversation was going to solve the problem. "My driver had to step out to handle something. That is the reason I am driving tonight."That was complete bullshit. My driver was perfectly available but I didn't want him here because I needed to be alone with her this time. I had a lot of talking to do, and her reaction with everything that I had said this whole time just confirmed it.The silence inside the car was just so unbearable. And I couldn't admit it even to myself but I didn't like how distant she seemed. I had done a terrible

KEIAThe moment he was gone, I slammed my hands down on the desk, and slammed my door shut. What the hell was he thinking and why the hell did he keep doing this to me? One moment he was acting like someone who truly cares and the next moment he was acting like he hated every bit of me and that I disgusted him. I couldn't just figure out why he was being so rude to me.The bossy and cold behaviour he had just let out made me want to punch him in the face or hit my head against a wall because I had done nothing to deserve any of it. I thought we were on good terms. No, I knew we were. Last night, we had worked together like the perfect team and I saw that if we continued that way it wouldn't be long before we cracked down on the one that we have always wanted, but then he had suddenly changed all of a sudden and was acting so strange. He had even kissed me last night.As it felt so real and full of emotions I was still trying so hard to come to terms with. But with everything that was

SAWYERThe next few days were very good because it felt like life was finally starting to make some sense after this whole whole thing. Everything was finally falling into place and there was no better feeling than that. She was here in my house doing this with me and as much as I didn't want to admit it to her, it was one of the things that I had dreaded about for years. At some point I blame myself for the times when I didn't make the move when I was supposed to. I should have approached her during our school days, maybe none of this would be happening in the first place.She wasn't just my long-time crush- she was also one of the very few people that made me feel alive when the world seemed to have gone mad. I always thought that I was never going to be able to gather the courage to approach her and tell her about the way I felt about her, but with everything that was going on now, I felt so happy and fulfilled.We were now sharing our deepest secrets and doing almost everything to

KEIAWhen we were done with dinner, I dropped the glass down on the table and glanced at her. The past few days had undoubtedly been looking good on her. And I didn't know if that was because I rarely saw her since she was busy getting everything together- the evidence and the people she needed to make this dream come true. I could only hope that it all came out perfectly in the end. I hesitated for a moment and decided that it was finally time to let it out to her."Keia," I called her, focusing my attention on her and on nothing else. She raised her face and her face brightened even further."Yeah?" She replied. "I was wondering if you could meet me in the study after this dinner and I want you to bring a notepad along. I have something important to tell you about." I said.She blinked at me and looked clearly confused. "What do you need a notepad for, and what's the important thing you want us to talk about?" She asked.I gave her a nod and replied. "You're going to see." I replied

KEIAI leaned in and kept my voice low as I spoke to her. "I am going to need your connections. I'll be using them for some things and I hope you're not going to mind. I have been able to bring some private investigators into it, but I need somebody that you and I can trust. Doesn't mean I completely trust the people I hired. I do trust them, but I need someone that I can share everything with. Someone that won't hesitate to reach out to us if they find anything. Your boyfriend works as a private investigator, right?" I asked, making myself comfortable on the seat. She glanced around a second time before turning to meet my eyes, then she nodded. "Yes, he does. And he is good also. Is there anything you need him for since you have hired other investigators to handle it?" "I want him to look into Artemis separately. I have already got Sawyer with me detectives looking into it but this is a kind of back up plan should anything happen, you understand where I am heading, right?" I asked
Return Of My Ex Wife 45
KEIAThe days after that passed quickly but not the anger inside me. In fact the anger inside me only seemed to get stronger and all I wanted was to make sure this was all done and taken care of as soon as possible. Artemis had gotten away with too much for a very long time. I was pretty sure that I was not the only person he'd dealt a card since this whole thing began, I was pretty sure there were other people, other innocent and unsuspecting victims that had faced even a worse fate than me for something that they knew nothing about. I loved him, yes, but my biggest mistake was thinking he loved me back when he just wanted to use me and cast me off. Right now I hated him more than anything or any person and all I wanted to see him fall, crash and burn. I sat down with Sawyer as soon as we were back from the beach that night and laid out my plan to him. It was risky, yes, but we had to make sure that we took our chance. At least we had and we could get people to be on our side so we
