The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back CH 0100
Skylar froze at the sound of the familiar voice from behind her, as her laughter died on her lips instantly, and she turned toward the entrance of the terrace to see Ivan standing there. He stood there with cold eyes as his murderous eyes blazed furiously at both of them, as the air around crackled with tension, his hands trembling with a repressed anger. And instantly, the playful gesture that lightened up with the mood between Skylar and Grayson just a few seconds ago vanished instantly, his presence commanding a menacing aura that screamed an impending eruption, as the coldness in his stare sent shivers down her spines all over again.“What do you think you are doing?!” he barked at Grayson, his voice booming like thunder, as he matched forward with an indelible stride that pronounced his anger, his gaze burning with an intensity that could scorch him right on the spot. Grayson had an amused smirk dancing on his lips as he casually leaned back against the railing, still refusin

Standing outside her shabby apartment, Skylar hesitated for a few seconds after Ivan had dropped her off, as the noiseless movement of his car faded into the distance, leaving her alone in the silence of the night, her heart thumping with uncertainty. On second thought, she wanted to turn back and call him to wait for her so that she could follow him home, and spend the entire week with him, so that she would avoid the drama she had been dreading experiencing again in her own house. Ever since the day of their fight, and with all that Kali said, she had been so reluctant to go home, and the thought of seeing Amelia stressed her out. It had kept her restless and stressed out with thoughts of how she would deal with the situation, and had just made her take the easy way out of pretending that nothing was wrong. She was having a shitty day already because of what happened at the fundraising event, and she didn't even need another problem sitting on her plate for that day. But she as

Skylar lay on her bed while staring up at the ceiling, lost in thoughts of the random things that were going through her mind, and making it difficult for her to shut her eyes. Seeping into the uttermost silence that settled in the room, was the soft, rhythmic breathing of Amelia, whose face was buried directly in her neck, and had curled up around her body with her arms like old times. She would close her eyes, and open them again while trying to regulate her own breathing, because it felt like she was suffocating right on that spot, while feeling Amelia's arms around her waist, and her head resting on her shoulder, as if nothing had ever gone wrong between them. But deep down, Skylar knew that something between them had changed even if they tried to ignore it, and the sudden warmth and affection from her felt out of place after the tension they had been through for weeks. Her mind kept drifting back to the dinner they had almost an hour ago, and the light conversation they had a

Skylar sat at her work desk the next day, her fingers flying over her phone’s screen as she chuckled at the message that Carlos had sent to her after she told him that she had submitted her work already, and that he should wish her good luck. She was still smiling when the door creaked open behind her, and Ivan walked in with his usual, undeniable radiance that filled the room as he strutted to her table, while watching amusingly with a raised eyebrow while she grinned from ear to ear. He gazed at her for a few minutes before he cleared his throat, his mellifluous voice drawing her absentmindedness to his initially undetected presence, “What is so funny?” he asked, his deep voice holding a hint of curiosity. Skylar's eyes instantly raised as they met his gorgeous orbs, a little startled to see him and hear his voice, but the smile that was curving her lips only grew wider as she rolled her eyes sweetly at him. Without a second thought, she dropped her phone on the table, pus

It was a chilly bright day in the early hours of the morning, which was the kind that made the air feel sharp against Kali's skin as she hurried to the front of the café after she dropped from a cab from across the street. Dressed in a plain black shirt and a pair of big shorts, she shivered slightly as she fumbled, looking for the keys to the café in her cross bag, the exhalation of her breath forming small clouds in the crisp air, as goosebumps formed tiny bumps on her skin. She scurried inside so quickly as soon as she pushed the door open, and the warmth of the room enveloped her instantly, with the familiar smell of roasted coffee beans lingering from the day before. Without wasting further time knowing she still had about an hour till the usual opening time for the café, she flicked on every necessary light in the room, before heading straight for the counter to begin her job for the day, which involved cleaning, restocking supplies, equipment check, menu preparation, inven

“You are such a traitor, man!” Ivan teased Leo over the phone with mock indignation, “You are back in the city for a whole day, and you go straight to your mystery woman before even calling me? Where is the loyalty?” He rolled his eyes. A chuckle escaped Leo as his eyes trailed to where Kira was, from the corner of the bar where he sat. She stood behind the bar, dutifully mixing drinks for the customers that were standing before her, his heart swelling with excitement before he returned to process the response he would justify himself within his head. All day, he had stuck with Kali without getting tired, and had patiently watched her from afar all day, to the point where she finished her working hours at the café, as he ordered more snacks and drinks just to see her face. After she left the café for the day, he accompanied her to the bar, never leaving her side, unable to think of anything else but not letting her go. On a normal day, he would be having a sleepover at Ivan's h

Sitting stiffly across from the immaculately dressed woman, Skylar could feel the intimidating aura that Mrs. Adelaide Hamilton possessed suffocating her, as she struggled to breathe properly even if it was so hard to keep it together. Her head was floating in space, and she could barely think properly, as her clammy hands clung tightly to the hem of her dress, while trying hard not to betray the anxiety that was storming within her. She had asked through the sudden call hours ago to meet as soon as possible at an extremely opulent restaurant that was extravagantly polished in gold interiors, and exuded great heights of luxuriousness which she would never be able to afford in her entire life. But all that didn't matter right at that moment, because all Skylar wanted to know was why she was asked to meet after she had been thoroughly disgraced by her in everyone's presence.‘Was it to disgrace her more? Pour her water? Smack her hard on the face? Give her money to leave her son the

Ivan sat behind his massive, polished mahogany desk in his room, his mind wandering for a few seconds just right after he ended a meeting with the HAVAN European division. He wondered what Skylar was up to as he leaned tiredly against the chair he was sitting on, and tried calling her phone because he wanted to see her. However, she didn't pick up her phone even when he called repeatedly, and it bothered him because it was unusual. He stood up, and straightened the creases that had formed on his perfectly tailored shirt before he buttoned his jacket, as he prepared to go so that he could check up on her. Surprise framed his face as soon as he strutted out of his office, and found out that her seat was empty and that her bag seemed to be gone too, which was quite odd. She never left without checking in with him first. Ivan’s eyes glanced at the luxurious Rolex which was clasped around his left wrist to check what time it was, and he was a little disappointed with a slight frown cros

“The surgery had just ended and was successful,” the surgeon, who had just come out of the theatre room still dressed in her blue scrub, and had a nose mask hanging below her chin, told Skylar with a reassuring smile that didn't brighten her face.Instantly, the world around her paused for a millisecond as the tension that had been hanging in her body crumbled instantly, and dissipated into the air. Her legs gave way below her body, and before she knew it, she had fallen on her knees, as she felt the hard, cold floor press against her palms that rested against the floor, the weight of the news sinking into her mind. Her right hand which was trembling covered her mouth, as a stifling gasp that felt like it had been locked in her chest for hours escaped her, alongside the tears that trickled down her cheeks. ‘She was alive. Her mother was alive,’ she heaved a sigh of relief, unable to handle the excitement. “Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much,” were the few words her voice could u

“I am sorry, we cannot be together,” those heavy words hung heavily between the two standing across from one another, and the receiver, Leo, blinked hard as he stared at Kali, who had broken the news to him.“What.. What is wrong, Kali?” His lips barely found the right words to utter because his brain was barely functioning coherently. That was the last news he expected her to bring to him, just when he was planning that they would go hiking together since she liked doing that. ‘Things had been going fine between them for the past few days. What went wrong?’ His eyes took a haunted look as if awaiting an explanation from her. “Nothing is,” she looked away from him while resting her back on the railings of the rooftop recreation spot they were standing, because she said she wanted to go there when he asked what she wanted to do. “Kali, meet my eyes,” Leo stared at her, his heart wanting to reach out to her in the most intentional way, as his right hand stretched and caught hers in

Skylar made her way into the five-star restaurant, her eyes glancing briefly through the few people that were seated in the room, until they landed on Grayson, who was seated by the window, his face brightening with a warm, sweet smile the moment he raised his head. She instantly flashed a warm smile at him from where she was standing, and he rose to his feet, as a gesture to welcome her which almost melted away her initial nervousness instantly. It made Skylar's eyes almost roll in shock because she never thought she could see him smile considering their first and second encounter. “Hi, Sky,” he greeted her with a sweet smile, and politely offered her a seat across from him, “You look absolutely gorgeous,” his eyes lingered as he took in her dress, and her smile.“Hi, Gray,” she responded with a nervous smile, “You don't look bad yourself,” she finally settled into her seat. “How have you been these days?” He initiated the conversation, his eyes peering at her. “Been great,” Skyl

The evening breeze brushed gently over the terrace of Ivan's home, and the beautiful scents of marigolds and lavender from the garden which was situated not far from where the two friends sat, permeated the cool evening breeze with a nice fragrance that was soothing. Sitting across from Ivan, was Leo, who was dressed in a finely pressed summer shirt and slacks, as he slouched comfortably against the chair he was sitting on, with a light grin sitting on his lips. Gently, he swirled the glass of whiskey that was nestled between his fingers, as he stared at Ivan, who had been gazing hard at him for the past few seconds, as if thinking of what to say first. And then, he finally spoke. “So, you are telling me it has taken you two days since you landed to get a drink with me all because of a lady?” Ivan cocked a brow at him. “You know I have not seen or spoken to her since that …….” “Says the man who shows up on my doorstep after disappearing for half a year, and felt like he had to

It was late at night already, but the skies were still as bright as evening, which gave a physical misrepresentation of what time truly was, and had tricked Amelia into believing that the night was still young. She had quickly dressed up for work and sat in front of the dresser for a quick makeup touch, as she used the curling iron to press her hair while trying to gloss a shining red lipstick across her lips at the same time. However, while in haste to leave for her shift that night, her eyes caught sight of Skylar's restlessness through the mirror, whose body was sprawled lazily on the bed, with one hand tucked under her head, the other holding her phone close as she stared at the screen with an unreadable expression. “You never told me what happened last night,” Amelia began, trying to sound casual as she fluffed her hair over one shoulder, “You came home so gloomy and sad,” she glanced at the mirror again, while observing her closely.Meanwhile, Skylar was so engrossed in wha

Ivan stepped into his office after the meeting had ended, and was so surprised to see Skylar sitting at her desk, as calm and composed as ever. It was as if she had not refused to pick up his call all day, or failed to inform him as usual that she would not be around in the morning. She had him so worried. Regardless, a sense of relief washed over him in the most exhilarating manner, before he walked across to the front of her table, a little worried that she seemed bothered by his palpable presence, “Where were you, Sky? Your phone has been off since yesterday,” he gazed at her so intently when he questioned, as if beckoning her to look up at him. Without meeting his eyes, Skylar continued to type fast on her computer as if she had a deadline to meet, and murmured a sincere apology, “I am so sorry for missing the meeting, Mr. Hamilton. It won’t happen again,” she spoke calmly and eloquently. Ivan was taken aback by her very professional tone, as if to shut him out and install

With a weary and bothered heart, Ivan made his way to the office the next day, bothered that Skylar's phone had been off since the previous night. He was a little later to work than usual because a minor collision occurred with his car that morning on his way to work from a rough driver, and it distorted his plans to come early by a few minutes because he had the car towed and another brought to him.Quickly, he stalked out of his elevator as soon as it chimed open on the last floor with large strides in the most elegant way, and instantly made his way to the front of his office, as he opened the door to the office instantly, hoping to see her. However, disappointment clouded his face as soon his eyes fell on the empty desk where Skylar was supposed to be sitting behind. The chair was pushed in, and her papers were still untouched from the previous day. ‘Where was she?’ He wondered, his eyes raising in concern as he hesitated for a few seconds before entering inside, and made his w

The morning sun which Skylar had always loved suddenly felt unkind as it cast its harsh light on her weary face as she trudged into the main doors of the huge company, because it seemed as if it amplified the ache in her heart and the anger she felt from deep within. She made her way into the CEO's VIP elevator with its access card because she gracefully wanted to avoid bumping into any of the company workers, not minding the talks they might make again as to reasons why she got to ride the elevator when Ivan was not even with her. She could barely look at herself in the elevator mirror that she was surrounded by when she got in, and each glance she took at her reflection revealed her tired, hollow eyes and puffy cheeks, which she had spent half an hour trying to conceal. Despite the makeup, traces of last night’s turmoil clung to her like an embarrassment that she couldn’t wash away. It was obvious that she had cried so much. Skylar just wished that she was so open and cared less

Skylar stepped into her apartment with deep weariness engraved deep into her bones, as the weight of what she had just witnessed sat heavily on her chest, crushed her with each breath she took, and blurred her eyes with suffocating tears. The image of Ivan and Gwen kissing replayed in her head like a broken record over and over again, and it was as if a knife had been thrust into her gut. It was almost too hard to bear in mere sight, and the thoughts it brought to her mind severed her heart mercilessly. It suddenly felt as if all the moments that existed between her and Ivan meant nothing. Like she didn't even exist, enough for him to respect what happened between them. Like she didn't matter. Nothing hurt her more than the fact that the sight confirmed her fears and made her feel smaller than ever. It was even more terrifying because she didn't have the right to get angry at him. After all, they were just flings anyway. They didn't even have a name for what they were doing, so she
