The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 47
As Zeke drove Thalassa to her and Luisa's house, the ride was silent all the way. The few times he'd tried to initiate conversation, she'd instantly killed it with short, disinterested answers.Some time later, he pulled the car into the driveway of her house. Killing the engine, he turned to her, concern etched on his face.“Lasaa, are you okay?”She raised an eyebrow. “Why wouldn't I be?”Zeke bit his lip, wondering whether to probe. Since the day she broke down in his arms at her office, she'd gone back to never sharing her thoughts or emotions with him. He knew she wouldn't tell him what was on her mind if he asked, but he was certain it had something to do with Kris Miller.“You shouldn't let him get to you,” he finally risked saying.Thalassa stiffened. “What are you talking about?”“I’m talking about Kris and his claims that he didn’t know how his family mistreated you. You shouldn’t let him deceive you. He’s obviously only trying to free himself from his guilt and—”“I’d rathe

On the other side of the city, the Millers weren’t in the best of moods by the time they arrived home. Susan was the most upset, immediately storming up the stairs to go to her room. Tyler followed shortly.“See how upset you’ve made Susan? You treated her—us—like we were strangers while you defended that woman,” his mother accused.“Mum, what Susan did was uncalled for,” Kris pointed out, his mood souring further.“Uncalled for?” His mother stared at him in disbelief. “Even after that woma attacked me in the organizer’s office and said she would help them sue and disgrace me?”“What you did wasn’t right either, Mum. What were you thinking, trying to use threats to withdraw your bid?”“But how do you expect me to pay that amount for that ridiculous painting?”“Then you shouldn’t have bid for it, Mum,” Kris snapped, much sharper than he’d intended to.Seeing the hurt look on his mother’s face, he let out a sigh. “I’m sorry, Mum, but it’s the truth.”Karen stepped forward. “But it was T

“You’re going to make her yours?” Kris gritted out. “Thalassa is not an object to be owned. She makes her own choices.”Clark stared at him. “Of course I know that. But don’t pretend you don’t know what I mean. I’m just planning to win her over.”“Sure. Good luck,” Kris said sarcastically.Clark leaned towards him. “Come on, why don’t you help me out? You had better luck than me the first time. So tell me, what do I do to win her over? What are her likes and dislikes? What makes her weak in the knees?”Alden, who was taking a sip of his whiskey, nearly choked on his drink when he saw the murderous look in Kris’s eyes as he glared at Clark.When Kris didn’t bother to respond after a few seconds, Clark shrugged. “Even if you don’t help me out, I’ll figure a way to make her mine myself.”“Dude, chill, no?” Alden said, not liking how possessive the man sounded. “You just saw her again after a couple of years, and you haven’t even talked to her.”Clark sighed. “The truth is I never stopped

When the hug went on for too long, Thalassa shifted, which finally made Clark break the hug. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry if I’m acting all clingy,” he immediately apologized. “It’s just that I’m really happy to see you again.”“You weren’t exactly happy with me the last time we talked,” Thalassa recalled, adjusting herself in her seat.Clark cringed. “I was a bit of an ass, wasn’t I?” He chuckled lightly. “Well, to my credit, you’d just told me that you were going to choose Kris over me because he was the one you loved and not me. That really hurt.”Confusion marred his face. “Only for me to hear just a few minutes ago that the two of you aren’t together anymore. What happened?”Thalassa gave him a hard smile. “Am I really supposed to believe that Kris hasn’t already told you what happened or that you never heard it on the news?”He shook his head. “No, he refused to tell me anything. As for the news, I returned to Europe a few months after your rejection. I’ve been there all this time

“Yes!” Clark grinned, immediately placing his hand on her waist and pulling her into the fray of writhing bodies on the dance floor.Alden had his eyes glued on Luisa, feeling his body warm as he watched the way she swayed to the beat.She really seemed to be having fun, and he felt so damn tempted to walk onto the dance floor and dance with her, but he was afraid that she would be rude to him again like the last time at her office. He had to force himself to continue sitting.Kris’s gaze darkened even more as he watched how Thalassa had allowed Clark to hold her close to him while they danced.Alden noticed his dark gaze and let out an amused chuckle. “Why are you looking at Clark like you want to kill him? They’re just dancing.”“Just dancing?” Henry scoffed. “Isn’t she supposed to be with Zeke Mathews? So why is she allowing another man to dance so intimately with her? How much cheaper can she be?”Alden glared at him. “You know, sometimes it’s better to just keep your thoughts to

Thalassa let out a snort as she stared back calmly at him despite her suddenly racing heart. “Unlike what you might want to convince yourself of, I don’t live my life with you in mind.” The familiar woody, spicy smell of his cologne wafted into her nostrils, trying to entice her to sniff it in, but Thalassa shoved away the stupid urge. Kris let out a mirthless chuckle. “If that were true, then you wouldn’t be targeting me and my family so much. You came to the charity function somehow already knowing that we were going to be there.” He paused. “If you knew that you were going to donate 50 million dollars anyway, then why did you let my mother win the bid for 30 million?” “What was I supposed to do when she was trying so hard to outbid me? It was obvious just how much she loved the painting, so I just had to let her win it.” Thalassa said sweetly, then shrugged. “Perhaps you should advise your mother to be a little wiser next time and not just spend her money however she likes.”

Their first kiss in three years was explosive—at least for Kris. As soon as his lips touched hers, sensations he’d only ever experienced with her surged through every pore of his body.If only it had lasted a while longer.But it didn’t. Just a few seconds later, Thalassa pushed against him with all her might, and when he stumbled back, her palm connected with his cheek in a fierce slap.“Don’t you ever do that again. Ever again,” she spat, fury blazing in her eyes.Kris took another step back, running a frustrated hand through his hair. “If you didn’t want me to kiss you, then why did you say all those things to me? Why did you provoke me?”“Because I wanted you to see just how pathetic you are. But you have no right to kiss me ever again in your life. No right! Is that clear?”Glowering at him one last time, she made her way to the washroom door and opened it before stepping out.“Fuck!” Kris slammed his fist into the wall, furious with himself.She was right. He was pathetic. How h

It was Alden, his eyes blazing as he glared at Victor. Luisa’s heart soared the moment she saw him.Victor was offended that another man was trying to tell him what to do. He turned his head to glare at Alden.“Don’t butt your nose into other people’s business. Just get back inside the bar. This doesn’t concern you.”He began trying to push Luisa into the car again while she resisted. Alden’s whole body tensed up, his eyes narrowing, jaw clenching, and the muscles in his arms bunching and straining against the body-hugging shirt he was wearing.Luisa knew this was the worst time to be thinking this, but she couldn’t help but notice how hot his anger made him look.“I said let her go,” Alden said in a voice that was too calm not to be dangerous.“Fuck off, motherfucker,” Victor snapped, flipping him the finger. “She’s my girlfriend, so stop bringing your presence where you’re not needed. Just leave us alone.”“She might be your girlfriend, but she clearly doesn’t want to go with you, s

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

"Where have you been, Missy?" That was the first thing Maya asked as soon as Tessa walked into the villa's living area. Tessa had prepared for the question. "In my room," she answered casually. Since she'd gone straight to Gendry's room, her door had still been locked, so Maya wouldn't have been able to enter. Maya tilted her head. "And you didn't hear me when I came knocking?" Tessa shrugged. "I was taking a nap." "Must have been a very deep nap because I called your phone as well," Maya revealed, eyeing her suspiciously. "You didn't hear it either?" Bringing her phone up, Tessa turned on the screen and noticed two missed calls from Maya in her notifications. She thought she had vaguely heard a phone ringing, but it had seemed like a dream compared to the very real reality of Gendry doing things to her insides with his cock. "No, I didn't hear it." "Hmm." Maya hummed, studying her. "Why does your face look so red? And your lips look a bit swollen. Are you okay?" Tessa shif
The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 28
When Tessa entered the house, only a few guests were lingering about. Gendry was nowhere in sight, so he had probably gone to his room-which was perfect. Making her way down the corridor that led to her and Gendry's room, she knocked on his door immediately, looking back to ensure that no one was watching her. The door opened after a few seconds. Gendry stared at her with an unreadable expression before stepping back to allow her entry. Entering, Tessa closed the door behind her and jammed her hand on her hip. "What was that outside, Gendry? Why did you react that way toward Kevin?" Gendry gave her a bored look. "I told you. I thought he was harassing you." "You had no reason to think that," Tessa pointed out. "He and I were just having a conversation." "Yes, a very intimate conversation, it seems," Gendry said, his tone edged with sarcasm. Tessa stared at him. "You do realize that there were people watching us, right? Everyone is probably suspecting it now. You acted like you
