Return Of My Ex Wife 19
KEIAThe moment I was behind the door that evening, I slammed the door behind me with more force than necessary. My frustration hadn't gone down one bit since I left office. Everything that had happened during the day was still fresh in my mind. It swirled like an annoying storm that I couldn't escape. As soon as I kicked off my heels and got out of the bath, I made my way to the couch where my best friend was already waiting for me. She was scrolling through her phone, devouring a bucket of chicken. She looked up from her phone, raising an eyebrow. "Was today a rough one too?" I plopped down beside her and let out a loud groan. "It was quite eventful, you won't believe what happened." I said, almost laughing as I remembered everything that had happened back there, how he had been kicked out like a little bitch. It was just so exciting. "You have no idea what happened." She put her phone aside and gave me her full attention. "What happened? Did Artemis call you again? You know, I f

KEIAIt seemed we had come to the bar at the right time because it wasn't long before the bar came alive with laughter and music. And the conversation began to blend into the background. As I was returning from the counter with two bottles of wine in my hand, my hands felt shaky. I couldn't tell if it was because of the memories that were still doing a great job at tormenting me or if it was because of that feeling of foreboding that wouldn't just let me be. It had been disturbing me for a while now and I hoped we could just be finished here so we could leave. Leila had teased me into bringing them back myself, saying it was good practice for what was coming up. My eyes were fixed on the two bottles and my mind concentrated on moving one foot after the other. I was too lost to pay much attention to where I was working. I remembered what Leila had said to me again. The whole time she was laughing to herself inwardly and I saw that in the smirk she carried as she spoke to me. "If you

SAWYER I leaned back in the chair staring out into the club. But I barely heard a thing behind the glass. The noise was muffled. The beats were faint but it created this rhythm that was almost soothing. There were several bottles of wine on my table that I hadn't even touched. Tonight had been nothing but dull so far, and I wondered why I had even come. My thoughts were interrupted when my phone buzzed. One of my guards was calling. I groaned and picked the call before putting the phone to my ears. I hoped there hadn't been a break in or something of that sort. "What is it?" I asked. "Sir, there is someone at the door asking to see you. She said her name is Keia." He said with hesitation. I'd made it clear to him not to let anyone in unless they had a good reason and it was very important. "Keia?" I repeated, surprised that she had followed me up here. I hadn't expected her to. I nearly told the guard that I didn't know who that was, and that it didn't ring a bell. But he paused

KEIAI got up front the seat and pushed it back softly, worried about his behaviour. I could tell it was from the wine, and I hoped it wouldn't just get any worse. "I should go," I said, doing my best to keep my voice steady. My hand slipped free from his but then again he wrapped his palm against my cuff and tightened his grip before pulling me back to the seat. My heart jumped as I wondered what the hell he thought he was doing. This wasn't the person I'd always known. The look on his eyes was a slightly unfocused one as he spoke. "Wait, please don't leave yet." As much as he had begged me to say, the words did almost nothing to stop the rising trepidation that was curling its cold, icy hands around my spine now. Maybe coming here was a bad idea after all. I sighed before settling back down. It was clear from the foregoing that he was drunk and leaving would be difficult. There was something in his voice that made me pause, not to talk of the gaze in his eyes which held a discon

KEIAI found it almost impossible to sleep that night. I kept rolling from one side of the bed to the other, and kept staring at the cueing while hoping that in one way or the other, I was going to sleep soon. But sleep eluded me. I couldn't blame myself, especially all that had happened back there at the club. I couldn't stop thinking about his words which was the reason why my whole mind was a jumbled mess now. I still remembered the look on his face as he was getting in the car, how he had thanked me even and had shared his problems with me beforehand. Every single detail just seemed to be getting clearer and clearer. Artemis’s face flashed across my mind again, and for a few seconds it felt like I missed him. Perhaps, I said to myself, that was what we used to be. However, I pushed the thought out of my mind the moment I remembered the evil things he did to me. Five fucking years in prison was no joke. He betrayed me and had me spend five years in that hellhole of a place for a

KEIAI was beside myself with joy when I found out that Sawyer hadn't shown up to work for the day yet. I couldn't help the tiny sliver of relief that ran through me as I pressed ny my against the the and placed a palm on my chest as I took in a deep breath. There was nothing better than this, especially after the odds had been stacked against me all morning- first it was waking up late and then meeting the heavy traffic outside.I couldn't imagine how awful I would have felt if I came in here only to see that he was at work already. This meant a lot of things and one of them was that I had a little more time to prepare myself. Grabbing my bag, I quickly stuffed my papers inside it and made my way out of the office before hurrying downstairs. I didn't want to keep him waiting.I needed to make sure that he didn't have any suspicions that I'd been late today. Even though he had said nothing about it this whole time, I was doing my best to make sure he avoided saying that because it wou

SAWYERWhen I got to work that morning, I couldn't bring myself to face her. Thinking about it alone made my stomach churn, and this was not because I'd never been drunk before. I had been drunk before, on several occasions even but this time around it was different. It was Keia, her.She had seen me at my worst for the second time and the shame was just unbearable. I wondered what she thought of me, how she was going to see me now that she had seen that part of me. Would she think that her boss was a drunkard who couldn't even control himself? The thoughts kept coming and piling up. The image replayed in my head like a bad movie, over and over again.And I hated it. All of it. Because of that, I stayed home and told myself that I couldn't deal with work today, I could not just deal with her. But everything changed when that email came in. That was the proposal that I'd been waiting for this whole time. Work always found a way to pull me back, and even worse in a situation like this w

SAWYERI was already in a bad mood when I walked into the office that morning. Closing the door behind me, I rolled up my sleeves to check my watch. It was already 9:00 am and Keia wasn't here yet. Oh Lord, I ran a hand through my hair as another heavy sigh left me, all in an attempt to keep my anger in check. The last thing I wanted to do was to vent my spleen on anybody right now. I just wanted to make sure I got through with work and go back home without stirring up any drama, especially because of Keia.This was becoming a pattern, and there was no way I was going to ignore her anymore despite whatever reasons she might have. I needed to say something to her but I didn't want to give away my mysterious nature soon, even though what happened at the bar had done a bad deal of it already. Thirty minutes later, I couldn't control myself anymore. The anger was rising and it wasn't wasn't before I was pacing up and down the office floor like some kind of caged beast. Where the hell was

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
Return Of My Ex Wife 52
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
Return Of My Ex Wife 48
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
