The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 242
As soon as her lips touched his, Zeke became as stiff as a board. Millie's heart pounded inside her chest, but she didn't pull away, her lips moving subtlety against his.Then it began to happen; his lips started moving in sync with hers. It was a slow, hesitant response, but to Millie it meant the world. His tongue slid over her lips, but just when Millie thought he wanted to deepen the kiss, he suddenly tore his lips away from hers.“Millie...” he breathed, gazing at her with stunned, confused eyes.Millie's heart lurched painfully as she placed her finger over his lips and shook her head. “No. Please don't reject me, Zeke. I beg you.”Taking her finger off his lips, she thought he was going to get up and move away from her. Instead, his palm fell on her cheek, caressing it lightly as he gazed into her eyes.“You're so... gorgeous, Millie. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen,” he said, his voice raspy.The words hit her like an embrace. She placed her palm over the back o

Zeke's eyes opened with a start, the faint morning light slipping through the curtains and casting a soft glow across the study. He blinked, disoriented. Then he froze. Beside him, still nestled under his arm on the couch, was Millie. Memories from the night before flooded his mind, and he immediately felt a pang of regret tighten in his chest. How could he have let this happen?Millie began to stir from his movement, her eyes fluttering open, and she looked up at him with a soft smile, which faded as she took in his expression. "Millie..." He pulled his arm back gently, sitting up and running a hand through his hair, which was still slightly mussed from sleep. "Oh, fuck Millie. I'm so sorry. This... last night... it shouldn't have happened. I'm so sorry."Millie slowly sat up, brushing her hair back, as she swallowed back the stab that went through her chest. This was exactly what she'd expected to happen. She knew he would regret it, and yet it still burned."Good morning to you

Zeke sat at the head of the long mahogany table, staring blankly at the screen where the presentation slides clicked on and off. Figures and graphs danced across the screen, but none of it registered. His mind was elsewhere—stuck on Millie’s soft voice as she’d whispered, 'I love you, Zeke. I've loved you for a long time. I know you'll never look at me the way you look at Thalassa, and I've accepted that. But last night... it was the best night of my life.'He clenched his fists under the table, barely aware of his surroundings as the memory of Millie’s words played in his head. In love with him. How could he not have noticed? Had she really been that good at hiding her feelings, or had he just been too blind—or worse, too unwilling—to see it?Before last night, everything had been so good. He remembered her smile yesterday as they cooked together in the morning, the way she’d laughed, the ease between them. It had felt…right. And now he’d ruined it.Why hadn’t he stopped himself?

Zeke bolted down the hallway of his office, ignoring the startled glances from employees as he made his way to the elevator. He jabbed at the button, tapping his foot impatiently until the doors finally opened. Once inside, he pressed the ground floor and leaned back, running a hand through his hair, his heart hammering in his chest. How had he not seen it? How had he missed something so painfully obvious?Thoughts of Millie swirled through his mind, one memory tumbling after another. He remembered the sinking feeling he’d had months ago when he realized there was something seriously wrong with her relationship with Francis.The pain he'd experienced the first time he’d seen bruises marking her pale skin, even when she'd tried to make excuses for it. And yet, each one had made his blood boil and his heart ache.His overwhelming need to protect her, to shield her from anything and anyone who might hurt her. The helpless feeling whenever she looked even a little sad and the sheer joy h

Zeke paced back and forth in the study, wanting to bash his head against the wall for being so stupid. This was all his fucking fault.If only he had told Millie the truth that he didn’t regret their night together, at least not in the way she’d probably thought—maybe she would still be here. Instead, he’d let her believe he wished it never happened. She must think he was the biggest jerk alive.With a frustrated sigh, he dialed the number of his head of security.“When did Millie leave?” He barked, his voice harsh.There was a pause before the security guard responded, “About three hours ago, sir.”Zeke’s grip on the phone tightened, realizing that she’d left shortly after he went to the office.“Why the fuck didn’t you call me? Or at least try to stop her?”“Sir, you never gave instructions to restrict her movement. And you asked us to report anything unusual, but…I didn’t think her leaving the house was part of it, especially since she didn’t bring any luggage. She just left.”Zek

Luisa's question hung in the air for a bit before Zeke answered. "Look, Luisa, it's... it's not what you're thinking but I can't explain everything right now."Luisa huffed. "You can't just drop something like that on us and refuse to explain, Zeke. Millie's been staying at your place? What else am I supposed to think?”"I know it's confusing. I promise I'll explain later," Zeke replied, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Right now, I just need to find her. If she contacts either of you, please let me know immediately."When he ended the call, Zeke glanced up to see Kris staring at him, body rigid and expression hard. The judgment was clear in his eyes."What?" Zeke snapped, scowling.Kris shook. "I'm just surprised at your hypocrisy. Why would you act like you were simping for Thalassa's love when you had something going on with Millie?”Zeke's fists clenched, anger bubbling up inside him. "It's not what you think. Millie only came to stay with me because I found out her boyfriend—no,

Francis threw his head back in ecstasy as the chick kneeling down in front of him deep throated his cock like it was her fucking dinner.“Yes, just like.” He shoved his fingers into her hair, forcing her head still as he pounded her throat until tears came into her eyes. She tapped his thighs as she struggled for breath, but he didn't let go, riding it out until he erupted into her throat.Once his pleasure was done, he pulled his cock out of her mouth. The bitch gagged, then coughed and heaved before glaring back at him.“What is wrong with you? Did you have to be such a brute?” “Oh, shut up. Don't complain like you didn't like it. You took it like a fucking porn star.”“This is the last time I'm letting you do this to me here." The bitch spat as she got up to her feet.Francis rolled his eyes. “You always say that, but I will get you on your knees every time I want. And you know perfectly well WHY you can't refuse."Fear flashed in the bitch's eyes, pleasing Francis immensely. “N

Kris tensed, glancing between Zeke and the gunman's finger which was still on the trigger. Zeke's fists were clenched, and his breathing was harsh, his entire body coiled with tension. His eyes met Kris's for a split second, and a silent exchange passed between them.Kris slowly raised his hands and stepped forward, a calm expression on his face. "Alright, take it easy, tiger," he said to the gunman, his voice calm and measured. "We're not looking to start trouble. We just came for some answers. And I assure you, you don't want to pull that trigger.”The gunman snorted, keeping his weapon trained on them. "You rich boys think money makes you untouchable, don't you? Makes you think you're invincible, but you're wrong.”Zeke's eyes narrowed. "Try pulling that trigger, and you'll regret it."The man gave a dark chuckle. "And how will I regret it, huh? I could shoot you both right now, hide your bodies, and discard you in the night, and no one would ever know."From the floor, Francis en

“What do you have to say for yourself, young man?” Kris demanded when Gendry remained silent for several seconds. “Did you say those things about my daughter?”Regret flashed across Gendry’s face as he nodded. “Yes.”Kris’s jaw clenched. “So you really did mean to make a fool of my daughter after all.”“No!” Gendry’s response was immediate, his voice sharp. “That was never my intention.”“Then why did my daughter hear you saying those things about her?”Gendry hesitated. “Because I..." He swallowed hard, as if he found it hard to admit his next words. “Because I felt humiliated. I was hurt that Tessa thought so little of me after I’d gone out of my way to show her how much I liked her.”Blowing out a heavy breath, he ran a hand over his face, then dragged it through his hair. “Yes, I know what I did was wrong, but back then, I thought that if we arrived separately, people would ask questions. I thought she would tell them she sent me away for being a lowlife, and I’d become the laughi

Tension crackled in the air like an overcharged high-voltage wire waiting to snap as Tessa waited for her brother to say something.Her brother, who was most certainly not capable of doing what Gendry had accused him of.When seconds passed and he still hadn’t spoken, her heart began to sink. She shifted her stance, positioning herself so she could look him straight in the eyes.“What is he saying, Alex?” she repeated, her voice laced with urgency. “Tell me he’s wrong. He’s wrong, isn’t he? You didn’t say any of those things to him. He’s lying, right?”The longer Alex kept his silence, the more her heart plummeted, and the faster her patience wore thin. Finally, the wire snapped.“Alex!” she bit out, smacking him hard on the chest. “Answer me, damn it!”Her voice rang out louder than she intended, the sharp sound echoing back at her like a taunt. She searched her brother’s face, but his expression remained frustratingly impassive.Just seconds later, the dining hall doors swung open,

Stiffening , Gendry let out a sigh. The last thing he wanted to do was to deal with this control freak.He turned his head to glance at Alex for a second before looking away again, keeping his gaze fixed on the sky. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he muttered, shoving his hands into his pockets.Alex stepped closer, standing beside him, his posture rigid. “Whatever game you’re playing this time, it won’t work,” he said, his voice low but firm. “Stay away from my sister.”A mirthless chuckle escaped Gendry. He turned his head slightly, just enough to glance at Alex. “Isn’t Tessa old enough to decide the people she wants around her?”“Yes, she’s old enough,” Alex admitted. “But that doesn’t mean I’ll stop protecting her.”Gendry clenched his jaw, his temper flaring. Protect her? From who exactly?“From what, Alex?” he bit out, finally turning to face him fully. “From me? Because you still think I’m not good enough for her?”Alex met his glare without hesitation. “Yes,” he sai

The next day, Gendry adjusted the cuffs of his shirt as he stood at the edge of the altar behind Jace, watching the wedding rehearsal unfold. Maya and Jace were standing in front of the altar, holding hands while the priest explained how things would go tomorrow. Jace wore a simple button-down and slacks, while Maya was in a flowy sundress.Since this was just the rehearsal only family and those who had important roles to play in the ceremony were present. That included him and Tessa, Tessa's family, Jace's parents and aunt, and one of Maya's cousins.Gendry wasn't looking at any of them. His eyes were drawn to the maid of honor. Standing on Maya's side, Tessa was quite a sight. Her hair fell in soft waves, the light fabric of her dress clinging to her just enough to taunt him with the memory of last night. God, last night.He clenched his jaw, shifting his weight as flashes of her moans, the way her body had writhed against his, consumed him for the hundredth time that day. And y

Tessa was lying flat on her back, staring at the ceiling, her fingers clenched in the sheets. It had been two hours since she told Kevin she wanted to go to bed early, and yet here she was; wide awake, tossing and turning, unable to shut off her mind.She hated that her thoughts kept circling back to the conversation with Gendry in the car. His accusations about her thinking other people just weren’t good enough. His claim that he had firsthand experience of it years ago.What the hell had he meant by that?She should be angry. His words were baseless and unfair. And yet, instead of dwelling on that, all she could think about was everything he’d done to her body this time yesterday. And again this afternoon.A frustrated groan left her lips as a familiar ache coiled between her thighs. Damn him. Damn him and his expert tongue, his manipulative fingers, his very potent d–God, she couldn’t even finish the thought without feeling heat creep up her neck. How had she turned into this pers

The tension broke when Kevin suddenly appeared beside Tessa, a broad smile on his face as he looked at her parents. Gendry and Alex finally released their handshake, and Gendry stepped back, returning to his previous spot.After a few seconds, Kevin glanced at Tessa and arched a brow, silently prompting her for a formal introduction.Tessa cleared her throat. "Uh, Mum, Dad, this is Kevin Balthazar. Kevin is..."She trailed off, and Gendry unknowingly held his breath, waiting for what she was going to say."...a very good friend," she finally completed.Kevin beamed. "I'm very honored to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Miller. Tessa has told me a lot about you." He stretched out his hand eagerly.Both Kris and Thalassa shook his hand, looking slightly amused by his enthusiasm. Then Kevin turned his attention to Alexander."I'm a huge fan of yours, Alex." His eyes widened. "I can call you that, right?"Alex smiled and nodded. "Of course. My sister's friends are my friends."Gendry snorted. Why d

Tessa’s happiness at seeing her family was unmistakable. After hugging and rocking her little sister for a bit, she moved toward her parents, who both engulfed her in a warm embrace.Gendry’s breath hitched. He’d seen Tessa wear a lot of expressions; angry, frustrated, annoyed, flushed, and pleasured, but he’d never seen her look so at peace before.It was obvious she loved and adored her parents, and she felt safe with them. Gendry wondered if there was a story there he didn’t know.“Hey, I’m feeling incredibly left out right now,” Alex said in a mock-grouchy voice.Tessa’s parents released her from their hug. She shrugged, looking at her brother.“I’m only hugging those I missed the most. I didn’t miss you much, so—”“Stop being silly and come here.”Tessa shrieked with laughter as Alex pulled her into a hug. Their bond as siblings was undeniable, their closeness evident in the easy way they teased and held each other.

Tessa’s heart caught. What he'd just told her could mean two things: that he wanted her so much that he’d set his rule aside because of her, or that she was worthless to him, which was why he was willing to sleep with her with no intention of having a relationship with her. The possibility of it being the latter stung more than she could ever admit. But why? It wasn’t like she wanted a relationship with him either. With her mood suddenly soured for reasons she couldn’t understand, she looked out the window at the buildings whirling by. “What about you?” Gendry’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts. Tessa pulled away from the window and looked at him. “What about me?” she asked, confusion in her voice. “You already know I’d never been with any man... until yesterday” “Yes. I know.” Gendry nodded. “The question is why. You’re beautiful, and you know it. It couldn’t possibly be because no man has approached you before. I know you probably have a thousand flocking around you, so wh

On the way back to the villa, the car was filled with a comfortable silence, but Tessa's mind was stuck on something she couldn't stop thinking about. It had been on her mind since morning, and she needed an answer. Before she could change her mind, she spoke. “This morning… what Jace said… what did he mean?” She saw Gendry’s hands tense around the steering wheel. “Jace said a lot of things,” he pointed out. “Yes,” Tessa agreed. “But I meant… what he said about thinking you’d lost interest in women.” Gendry briefly took his eyes off the road. “I can stop the car and show you right now that he was talking nonsense—just like I showed you a few hours ago.” Tessa’s cheeks flushed, wild images flaring through her mind at his words. “You’re evading my question.” “And you seem to have forgotten your own rules,” Gendry mused wryly. “No talking about each other’s personal lives, remember?” His voice had an edge to it, and Tessa wondered if she should drop it, but the curiosity was eati
