All Chapters of The Billionaire's divorced wife : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 31 Alicia's POV"You okay, Ali?" Georgie nudged me by the shoulder, getting my attention. I looked up at him and gave him a fake smile. He scrutinised me. "That's fake. What's wrong?" "Nothing. I'm good," I lied. Infact, I was lying and he was right. Something was wrong but maybe not with me but with Nathan. He hasn't been picking up my calls. I wouldn't have bothered to call him if he hadn't told me he would be coming down to Spain two days ago. When I couldn't reach him on the expected date, I was worried but I thought he would reach out soon and now that's day three, I realised something might be really wrong. "You know you can talk to me, right?" Georgie asked. I nodded. "Sure," "Great," he winked at me before walking up to Mrs Cadry and one of our engineers. We were currently on a tour to one of the Parks designed by Antoni Gaudi; Park Guell. Since we've been in Spain, I'd realised that not only was Mrs Cadry a worshipper of Gaudi's designs, she's probably obsesse

Nathan's POV "What's the update?" I asked Sylvester after I got into his car. He'd called me hours ago to meet up at the parking lot of a popular tower building in town. I wasn't able to meet up immediately because one of our servers got a bug and I needed to fix it together with the team. "Not even a hi or hello. Straight up to the real matter like a true Lancaster," he joked.These days, I don't find anything funny so I didn't laugh."What's up?" I asked again."What's up your ass? Someone got on your nerves," "Not really, work's been hectic," I lied. "What are we doing here?" "Well, some of my boys traced the girl who owned the phone down here because they thought she wanted to meet with someone," He stopped, took a bite from his hamburger. "And?" I asked impatiently."She lurked around the corners for a while waiting for someone or so we thought but two hours later, she left," "Did she make any phone calls?"He looked at me, then smirked. "Nah. She wasn't even with a phone,

Alicia's POVMinutes after I tried to process what just happened around me to no avail, I stood up and went to my room. I was exhausted from the trip but at the same time, I could also use a drink.On the other hand, I was too exhausted to go back downstairs to pick a drink or something so instead, I sat on the floor of my room and laid down with my phone in my hand. I surfed through the internet looking for something interesting while I waited for sleep but that was all useless because nothing seemed to interest me. Instead, I closed my eyes and began counting, hoping that'll help. All of a sudden, I found myself in a dark space. I tried opening my eyes but it didn't work. I looked around me and all I could see was darkness. Not even a beam of light. I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and fear gripped me by the back of my neck. I couldn't turn to look at who it was because if I'd turned, I wouldn't see anyone. I heard laughter from one corner, when I looked, it was a younger me,

Alicia's POV"Mrs Lancaster, it's ten, I need to lock up in ten minutes," Reluctantly, I dragged my eyes away from the system in front of me to look at the security man. The only thing that resonated with me about what he said was he'll be locking up the building for ten minutes. He was standing at the door, looking at me with so much concern."Thank you, Mr Allen. I'll start packing up," "Yes ma'am," He closed the door and walked away. I picked up my phone to check the time and realised I've been in front of my laptop for seven hours, designing, resdesigning and designing again. It was a never ending cycle.At four in the evening, I left the orphanage for the office because I wanted to meet with Mrs Cadry before leaving. She usually leave the office by five. By the time I saw her, she was in a hurry but left me with instructions to meet with the senior Architect. It was my first time seeing the man since I started work and it wasn't pleasant. He had so much to say about me wherea

Nathan's POV "How bad was it?" Alicia asked. She would be the first person I'll be telling about the horrible event of that night. Even the police and college administration body couldn't bring it out of me, not even my old girlfriend. They all had their suspicion of it being a hazing but I never told. It was the most embarrassing event of my life and it left me with some unspeakable aftermath. I felt a touch on my scar and when I looked down, it was Alicia. She was already beside her and I watched as she gently traced the outline of the scar with her fingers as if she would hurt me if she wasn't careful enough. "Pretty bad. I had to be stitched up and spent the rest of the semester at the hospital. I only went back for my exams. I almost lost my life and the doctor said I was lucky to still be alive," I narrated as I recalled the event. Even though I was able to summarise the story in a few words, it was more horrible than that. "It must have hurt so badly," Alicia said. I look
