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.

Return Of My Ex Wife 33
KEIAFor some reason, the day at work felt like a decade. As soon as it was time, I was more than ready to leave the office and get home. Grabbing my bag, I made my way out of the door without caring if Sawyer had left or not. I was at least happy that I had been able to preserve myself from getting into any sort of argument with him or anybody else. The way I had behaved today in the office was not something I was angry about because at least I had been able to push everyone from doing anything that would make me angry. As I made my way down the staircase, I kept my head down even as I passed by some of my colleagues who were talking to themselves around the entrance. I avoided eye contact because I did not want to get caught up in their small talk or give him any reason to start asking those annoying questions later. At the moment, something inside me did not want to make him angry anymore even though I detested how much he affected my decisions. The past few days had been nothin
Return Of My Ex Wife 32
KEIAI did not need a seer to tell me that I had annoyed her when I finished work that evening. I had gone to her office in the afternoon so we could get lunch but she was fast asleep and I did not want to make her anger any worse. And when I finished work late that evening, I expected to go back home with her but she was already out of her office and nowhere around when I got down. I knew what was going on and it was all my fault. I had been too hard on her late today and if anything, I had to apologize. That was because she did not deserve the way I had acted, not one one it. She was doing all she could to avoid me and as much as I hated it, I knew I deserved it. Before heading home, I stopped by a gift store but as soon as I got out of the car, I was confused because I did not know what she liked so I bought a little bit of everything. I got a bouquet of fresh Roses, a box of her favorite chocolate and even a small plush Teddy that seemed childish for sure but then I thought she m
Return Of My Ex Wife 31
KEIAI was already feeling so bad before I went into work because the day had started out terribly and I was not in the mood for anybody's nonsense at all because of what had happened the night before. Even till morning, I will still unable to snap out of the anger that had taken hold of me because of the things he had done. I was so angry about his childish behavior and the fact that I did not get enough sleep was not even helping matters at all. The moment I stepped my feet into the company building, I could already feel the tension bubbling under the surface and I hoped there was nobody who was going to make it worse for me, somebody who was going to make the tension that I was trying to hold in to explode. I just hoped that was going to be the case because I would not hold back if anything like that happened. I was tired of not telling people to go to hell with their taunts and not putting them in their place. I was making my way to my desk when one of my colleagues decided that

KEIAI did not have the slightest idea why he was acting this way and for some reason I was made to think that he was possessed overnight. I tried to think of anything that would have made him act this way but nothing came to my mind, but none of it was my fault because she was just acting so strange and it was nothing I had ever experienced before. One moment he was screaming at me and picking apart my work like it was garbage and the next second, he was asking me out for lunch and smiling at me smugly. God... he had no idea how that smile irritated me so much even though I tried my best to hide it behind my expression. I always did my best to make sure he did not truly see what I felt but I could swear that did not know meant I nearly allowed my emotions to take over me. Most certainly I would have done something I surely would have regretted it but thankfully, I didn't do anything. I had no idea why he kept acting like some kind of knight in shining armor. It was so confusing and
Return Of My Ex Wife 29
SAWYER I had no idea why I was acting all bossy all of a sudden. I found it very hard to admit it, even to myself but I had been very much aware of it all day and it worried me. I was only worried about it because it was unlike me. However, it had only begun when I heard Keia talking with her friend. Their discussion wasn't just about anything. It was about her saying that she was going to use me as bait for Artemis. That was the last thing I was expecting to hear from someone like her and it made me question everything I knew about her. It made me question if she was the same person that I had always known, if everything she had been doing so far was just a way of getting closer to me and getting what she wanted. Heard that had stung in a way I didn't expect. And despite the fact that I didn't like my brother and everything he had done to her and to me, I still didn't fancy what she was trying to do. Nobody would fancy being used. The idea of being used by her was just so hurtful.

KEIAI wasn't happy about moving in with him, not in the slightest. And that was because of the circumstances that had brought about the situation. I wished the circumstances had been better and none of this had to happen like this. In fact, I hated it. The thought alone mare mare chest tighten every now and then and I'd find myself hoping for things that would never happen, things like turning back the hands of time and doing something about the subtle fuck ups that had compounded to this terrible moment. I remembered what my friend said when I came home yesterday from work and told her everything. I needed to trust myself, and I was happy that she at least saw and said I was moving in the right direction. There was no bigger motivation than that, bit anyways, this was just jeering. The change was just so sudden and so big I'd find it hard keeping up. I didn't have any other choice however. And there wasn't a doubt that my pride, now, was bruised and it hurt even more to know that I
Return Of My Ex Wife 27
KEIAMy mind was racing with so much disbelief and anger when I stormed out of his office, trying to comprehend and assimilate what he had just told me. How the hell could he suggest something so ridiculous? I mean did he even get to hear himself before saying that to me? Live with him? Stay in his house because I was late a few times? It made no sense at all. It felt like a punishment, call it a personal invasion that I couldn't accept. Something had to be done about that. Clenching my my as I walked back to the desk, It was hard seeing the other employees who I passed by on the way back there. But I noticed how they all stared and how some of them whispered to themselves. Of course they were watching. They always watched to know what I was doing so they could judge me and make Sawyer second guess this decision of making me his secretary. It was just so annoying being in the presence of this kind of people but this was the only shot I had at making sure he got what he deserved for e
