THE CEO IS MY EX HUSBAND EPISODE 25
Alex.My eyes remained pinned amongst the crowd waiting outside. I scanned through very carefully; my father had said that as soon as I got out of the airport there would be a man waiting for me.And it was just like he had stated, a man was indeed waiting, his eyes lingering in my wheelchair with a look tickled with irritation. “Mr Alex?” He called out to me, and I nodded with a smile, determined to keep calm and act foolish for as long as I possibly could; getting all wrapped up in their talks and acts wasn't something that I wanted.“You caught a quick glance of me; I was worried I would miss you,” I responded, feigning ignorance to the curt manner in which he had spoken.“Well, there aren't many disabled people in wheelchairs now, are there?” He asked once again before walking away from me,I said nothing else after him, drawing up a plan in my mind. My father has asked me to come down here to handle important business, but seeing how the driver who had been assigned to me only m

HAYLE S POV I laid on my side. My eyes wide opened in the complete darkness; it wasn't like I had many options to it; as a matter of fact, I was just as helpless; my sanity was teetering on the edge, and my hope and thoughts on how to save my mother kept dwindling. There was nothing that could be done; I was weak and hopeless, but most of all, seeing how things had begun unfolding these past few days really did bother me. Was I entirely sure I wanted a child born into situations like this? Where I couldn't even afford to get his drugs, of course I wasn't lazy; I would work several jobs, odd or part-time if I couldn't find office work, but then what were the long term plans on how to afford the bills and get myself together, sending a child to school?Besides, would it ever be safe in a country where the maniac Giovanni stayed?I couldn't risk the odds, that as much as I hoped Giovanni would some day wake up and grow bored of me or have no interest, none of it was happening, and a

HAYLE's POV.“This is bad, really bad.” I muttered beneath my breath, my eyes scanning through the files in my hands, and my palms became sweaty while I was struck by a sudden migraine.I ran my hands to my hair right after slamming the documents into the table.“What have you been up to? What exactly have you been doing?” I asked, yet their silence infuriated me more; it seemed almost as if they were pleased to see me in such distress.“I have a deadline to hold in less than a day, and you all bring this missing file and find missing reports for me. What have you been up to all week? Even a day before, how am I to present to the board new product ideas when the entire fund for the project has been looted from scratch?” I asked again.I wasn't pleased with their stares, and I fidgested, air narrowing down my lungs, I loosened the top button on my shirt.“Should we tell Mr. alex ?” The head of finance is required,My stone-cold glare passed across to him and probably rang a bell in hi

ALEX's POV.“What happened next?” I asked, my phone glued to my ears while I pranced back and forth down the halls. I swallowed hard, reeling in every thought of how the entire scenario could have played out.“Mr Alex ?” She called out my name. I could imagine her seated against her balcony, the laptop on her table, her feet crossed while she leaned into the armchair, her phone strapped to her ears."Yes, Hayle, you did a good job, and I'll be sure to commend you for it. I'm happy about the progress. I knew you were the perfect one for the job. Imagine if I never had you in charge of what would have happened.” I asked meekly, a faint smile on my face, before I punched myself on the couch.“Nothing else? That's all?” She asked out of sheer curiosity. I missed her. With each word she said, I pictured it in my head. My eyes were pressed firm, and her soothing voice rang like music to my ears. “What else is it that I should know about? Any other problems!?” I asked him, half-mindedly, on

ALEX's POV“Thank you all; Miss Hayle here filled me in on the entire situation. San showed it had been handled in my absence. I appreciate every one of you for aiding her in the best way. Moss Hayle here had pulled out the meeting perfectly! "Well, I on the other hand, had gotten the contract signed; it's a win for everyone, isn't it?” I asked They all giggle and chorus in unison, each excited. This was not only their habit, but also mine. I made sure to give them a slight tip whenever there's a very huge amount involved in any contract signed.“Be sure to share the money with your juniors, okay?” I asked again, tilting my head slowly and cracking up my eyebrows, knowing well that it was always one thing or another with them.Each of them was a department head, a director of a team, and I didn't want the younger lines to leave our “Also, it did come to my understanding they'd have a lot if you had a thing or two to say in my absence about Miss Hayle and me, and I can see your lo

HAYLE'S POV.“Did I by chance do something wrong? Off the radar, perhaps? Piss you off by coming here.” Alex asked all at once.I tilted my head sideways before passing him a warm smile. I knew he was curious, and he seemed to have been bothered judging by how Dustin had acted.“No, nothing; that's your fault. We are good to go. Pardon my friend for acting in such a manner; I should be the one asking for your forgiveness. You didn't offend me in any way; it's just that there had been a couple of rough patches and this... I wouldn't want to bother you, but know it's not your fault; he acts like that every once in a while, and I'll sort it out.” I responded to Alex 's questions.Of course I had a whole lot cooped into my head at the moment; I wasn't certain of which I was meant to fathom; it gave me the irks a little and made me sick, thinking of how Dustin had acted out.I had been so startled and confused at the same time that some random stranger would have thought more had probably

HAYLE'S POV.My fingers remain curled up into my hair, my lips moving in sync to the slow jazz played through the stereo of the driver, my eyes against the window while a light drizzle of rain fell through the glass.“We are there, mam.” The cab driver called out to my attention, and I nodded with a faint smile before standing to my feet.“Thanks sir.” Before passing a bill to him, I responded.“Keep the change,” I responded to him keenly with my words. Not holding the entire thing back, perhaps if I was a little more nice, something good could probably come my way.I shrugged slowly, dragging my feet towards the entrance. I could see Emily seated comfortably on the chair placed on the porch.“Wow. That's kind of early; what happened? Did anyone get into an accident? She asked about lighting up the end of her cigarette. I rolled my eyes, trying to hold in my pain.“Nope, nothing of that sort; maybe worse, you know what? It doesn't even matter; I'll end up walking away on my own terms.
THE CEO IS MY EX HUSBAND EPISODE 32
ALEX POV.“Non Lies I promise, but can we set off or perhaps talk in my absence? It's freezing out here, and it wouldn't hurt to stay in a closed space.” I asked slowly, batting my eyelash in her direction, knowing so well that the only thing I wanted was to be in close proximity with her. I wanted her to see me close up while I poured out my heart's content to her. I wanted to hold her palms against my chest while I spoke, just so she could feel my heartbeat and the sincerity in my words.“Closed spaces? Do you have anything to say, or are you simply searching for an excuse telling me all these because if that is what the case may be, then perhaps I'll have to leave now. You do as you deem fit, okay?” She asked, turning towards the door once again."Okay, wait, please!” I called to her, swallowing hard. I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted, and I knew I didn't like the stone-cold gaze passed down to me, but I needed to make do with it until everything was all sorted out.“I like yo
