All Chapters of Reclaiming My Ex-Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The next morning…I stretch my hands and arch my back, yawning. My head is heavy, and my entire body is aching as if a road roller ran over me."Mm…" I wince, rubbing my forehead. "My head."When I open my eyes, I notice the familiar eyes staring down at me. I blinked dumbly at the sight of his smile.Lance Stevens is smiling at me!‘Why? Why? Why?’ My mind is frantic.I follow his gaze and find myself naked. My breasts are exposed in front of his eyes. I smoother a yelp and pull the blanket up, my stomach knotting tighter and tighter.The scratches on his arms and shoulders are proof that we had some steamy moments last night.That was not a dream. That happened in reality.‘Holy Mother.’I just want to disappear somewhere.What is he thinking? Does he think I am easily available when I am drunk? What excuse should I give to him?I was inebriated last night, but I am not sure whether he was drunk or not. I try to recall.His piercing eyes are distracting me. All that comes to my mind

Lance’s POV…The moment I enter the Global Network office building, I notice William taking Molly in his arms. My light mood and delight vanished straight away. My skin pricks with anger. Something snaps inside me.William, the man who used to follow Molly. I never could express feelings to her because she had a crush on this guy.I feel a stab in my heart when I see her with him. I clench my fists."Keep your hands off her," I shout as I storm over to them.I pull Molly to my chest and hug her possessively, giving William a hard look. I hold up my index finger and warn him, "Stay away from her, I am warning you."He gives me a cold stare.I want to punch him in the face, but I restrain myself only because Molly is around. I don’t want to frighten her."Lance…" Molly calls out to me, her voice trembling.I look down at her. My expression softens a little when I sense her fear."He is only helping me," she explains hurriedly. "I stepped on something greasy, which caused me to trip. Wil

vI froze when his lips locked with mine. My thoughts are no longer racing. It is focused solely on his lips. His smell and his warmth invade my senses.He is as gentle as he was before the dinner. The last night’s memory is vague. I am not sure if he was this gentle. But I still feel this is different. I am not sure what it is.Maybe he is hesitant.Other than kissing me gently, he is not doing anything. Then he stops and pulls back, his hands on my cheeks.His eyes show the intensity of his emotions. His expression is filled with joy, excitement, and hope.When I peer into his eyes, I remember how madly I have fallen for him. I cannot deny the fact that I have wanted him for years. Now that he is looking at me with longing and want, I can barely control myself. My heart is ready to explode.My reflection, in his eyes, is the most desirable thing. I have a feeling that I am the happiest woman in the world. I am already intoxicated without any drugs or alcohol. The little doubt in my

I am restless when Ruby approaches me. I am not sure if it is fear or anxiety, but I don't feel at ease when she is around. I don't want to meet her, despite Lance's assurances that he considers her a sister.There is no smile on my face. I mean... why would I return her smile? My inner voice tells me to ignore her and get into the car. Daisy’s expression is also not very different from mine. She looks annoyed.I maintain my firm stance in front of her."Hello, Molly. Hi, Daisy." Ruby greets us with a smile and a handshake. She is acting as if she is very friendly with us. "I am pleasantly surprised to see you here. You came for lunch.""Yes. What about you?" Daisy replies to her before I can respond."Oh, yes…" Ruby laughs softly. "I am here for a luncheon with a director. I am recovered." She looks straight into my eyes. "You know, Lance has been taking care of my treatment. He spoke with one of the best oncologists in the world, and look, I am fine now.""I am glad to hear that," I

Friday has finally arrived. I am getting ready for the party. I am glad Lance got me a dress, which is a long, red pencil gown that reaches all the way to the floor.The dress leaves my shoulders uncovered, and the sleeves reach to my elbows. Since it is a snug-fit dress, my curves are accentuated gracefully.I hold my hair in a bun, checking myself in the mirror.Lance has been gloomy since the morning. He is not pleased with my decision not to accompany him to the party. I am depressed too, but I cannot go with him if I have to achieve the goal my boss has set for me.I let out a sigh as I continue to apply makeup.Lance comes over and wraps his arms around my waist from behind, placing a searing kiss on my shoulder."Why cannot you come with me?"I put my hand on his cheek and replied, "I have a mission to accomplish, which will be impossible if I accompany you." I turn to him and adjust his tie. "We are at the same party. Isn’t it good? You enjoy the party, and I will do my job."
