CHAPTER 111

Geneveive Tessa RobertYears ago, my birthdays were celebrated by Kyle, me, and a few friends. It was always a long day, and I tried to be happy about it, but deep down, I wished for my family to always be there. I did tell Kyle once, and he warned me never to talk about my parents. They had abandoned me when I needed them the most, so there was no reason why I should miss them. I didn’t accept his words because I knew he was the reason why they had abandoned me. I pushed his thoughts back into their cage and focused on getting the kids ready for school.They had surprised me earlier today with a beautiful cake and sweet songs, all coordinated by Vera and Estella. James had also surprised me with a key to my own art workshop. It was a condo that had everything I needed to draw and be the ‘crazy’ creative he defined me as.Vera gifted me a necklace with my name engraved on it and a wristwatch that had a tiny picture of us. She also made an album of all my photos with the kids, and to m

CHAPTER 112

Geneveive Tessa RobertI ignored him, holding my glass tightly. ‘Where’s your friend?’Xavier smiled, bowing a bit. ‘You don’t look stunning now. Don’t tell me you’re not happy to see one of your favourite allies.’I shook my head and said, ‘I am not pleased. I thought I made myself clear when I told you and Kyle not to show up here. Both of you are troublemakers, and I don’t need that kind of vibe right now.’‘Fine, ma’am, I have heard you, but I am not leaving until the main show is over. So, get used to me being here for the main time.’ He smirked, taking my glass. ‘Hmm, this is good, Tessa. I thought you don’t drink alcohol.’‘Don’t try to change the topic, Xavi!’ I warned. Grabbing my glass. ‘What do you mean by the main show? I hope you and Kyle aren’t planning anything stupid, because if you are, I will make sure I get you guys arrested.’He raised his hands and said, ‘Easy, dear. We aren’t planning anything stupid, and I am certain that when you see what the main show is all a

CHAPTER 113

Kyle KingI stumbled into my apartment, hating how pathetic I looked. It’s been almost six months since I left Nashville for the United Kingdom to complete a project and win the heart of my ex-wife. The project was completed but not ‘Project Win Tessa Back' . I had failed woefully throughout the previous months, but I wasn’t ready to return home until the second project was done.My team was working tirelessly to ensure the King’s company’s activities moved smoothly, and I attended all virtual meetings when necessary. I also kept up with tasks for each day to be aware of every move made in the company. I could afford to stay in the United Kingdom until I accomplished my goal.The main reason why I took on Richard’s project.I pushed my hand through my already dishevelled hair and sawed until I fell on the couch. I had taken a lot of Martini shots one hour ago with Xavier and some friends we made while working in the hotel. Xavier was still at the seedy bar joint, catching fun with lad

CHAPTER 114

Geneveive Tessa RobertI walked into the burger and french fries shop and looked at the faces. Andrew’s face shone immediately. He was seated at the far end of the shop, waving excitedly. I suspected this was his first date since he moved to the United Kingdom from the States. I recited a little prayer and walked towards him. This was my fourth date since I moved here, and thankfully all has been well. I hoped the disturbing feeling I had tonight wasn't because of Andrew Fisher but because of the scent of salmon pepper. It always reminded me of a stupid incident that happened while I was in school.‘Hello,’ he greeted, helping with my chair. ‘I hope you didn’t find it hard getting here?’I smiled. A gentleman and a caring one. Nice one, Tessa. ‘ No, my chauffeur knows almost everywhere in this town. I suspect he used to be a cab driver once upon a time, even though he denies it and has been reminded several times about his former job as a teacher.He laughed, ‘That’s funny. How did a

CHAPTER 115

Kyle KingI whistled my way through the shopping mall, helping an old lady pick a nice hat and allowing two women and a man to jump the queue. Xavier cast a curious gaze at me for the umptenth time before collecting our grocery basket and warning the fourth person who was about to jump the queue. I nodded throughout his complaints about my nonchalant attitude and said nothing when he compared me to a smiling donkey. He couldn’t understand how I felt. Tessa had finally given me a chance to take her on a small date. It didn’t mean anything, but I counted it as progress. I let Xavier drive my new car while I smiled and reread the text message Tessa had sent a few days ago. We had scheduled the date for tonight, and I had agreed to an in-house setting. She wanted to see where I stayed and avoid the public eye. I could understand. If some pressmen see us, there will be headlines flying tomorrow about the divorced Kyle King trying to win the heart of his ex-wife. I certainly didn’t need t

CHAPTER 116

Geneveive Tessa RobertI picked up another mouthful of the sandwich cake. It was perfect. Kyle still knew his onions, even though he barely cooked when we were married. He never had the time due to his giant business. I was surprised he was able to create time to do something special for me. I stared at him again.He was quiet, stealing glances at me. I smiled slowly. I decided to start a conversation. Compliment his dinner efforts? Yeah, that sounded like a good way to make him feel comfortable with me.I dropped my spoon, smiling a bit, and said, ‘Thank you for the incredible dinner, Kyle. I really enjoyed myself, and this sandwich cake is awesome. How did you get a perfect taste?’He shrugged. ‘I know a few tricks. I thought you didn’t like the dinner. You said nothing throughout the meal, just curt responses to my questions.’Oh dear! I didn’t realise he had taken my silence to heart. I wanted to feel everything about the meal and not be forced to have awkward conversations. I th

CHAPTER 117

Kyle King‘So you brought her into the house and hid the gist from me? That’s cruel, man.’ Xavier said, pouring another glass of juice.I had decided to tell Xavier about my date with Tessa, but now I regret my decision. The man didn’t know when to stop talking.‘So you mean Tessa left her house and dined with you in here? And left around nine p.m.? That’s weird, and I am finding it hard to believe you.’ He continued, rubbing his palms. ‘How did you convince her?’I shook my head. ‘You should have been a journalist, Xavi, not an ethics hacker or business developer. I would have loved to tell you how everything happened, but I will save the gist for next time.’He shrugged. ‘Right. He brings the girl home and keeps the gist to himself. Would you guys be having another date, or are you keeping that a secret too?’‘No, we aren’t having another date yet. I still need to win her heart, or better yet, prove to her that I am not just back for the kids but for her too. This is where I need yo

CHAPTER 118

Kyle KingEstella’s suggestion was the perfect idea. The kids ended up eating everything, and I couldn't help but laugh at how they rushed through the meal. I guess it’s been a long time since they had a delicious pasta meal. Once they were done, they helped with clearing the dishes and changing the tablecloth to a new one. I was amazed with their organisation and meticulous skills. Tessa had raised them well. Without me.I felt a pang in my chest, but I quickly shook it off. I was here now, and that was all that mattered. I helped them arrange the tablecloth properly and ushered them to the parlour to watch some cartoons while I focused on dishwashing and preparing Tessa’s favourite. Glancing at the wall clock, I realised I had like three hours to do everything before she showed up. That was enough time. The kids would probably be asleep by that time, or they might join us for dinner. If Tessa’s mood was great,.I hadn’t stopped to think about how she would feel once she realised wha

CHAPTER 119

Geneveive Tessa RobertI spent the weekend explaining to the twins why Kyle wouldn’t be repeating his visit. I didn’t want them to become attached to him. As much as I enjoyed his surprise visit and incredible dinner, I wasn't about to dissolve my coldness towards him. He made promises before, and guess what? He ruined it with a divorce paper and a denial of what he felt for me.I am sorry, but I don't forgive and forget easily.He had changed obviously, but I couldn't just accept fully that he was here for me and not because I wasn’t the barren woman anymore. Everything in me wanted to believe him, but there was still that doubt lurking in my bones. What if everything was a ploy? You know? You show up, pretend like you’re a repentant soul, and when the lady falls fully, you take the kids and even her wealth! Kyle could do something like that. He wasn’t above tricking people to get what he wanted, or revenge. I picked up the flowers that James had dropped earlier today on the kitchen

CHAPTER 120

Kyle King I watched as Vera and Murphy took their vows while Tessa and the train of bridesmaids smiled widely. I noticed Tessa throw a few glances at me, and I could read what she was thinking. Our massive wedding in St. Catherine’s Cathedral The vows and smiles. She had been thrilled years ago, even when her parents refused to attend the wedding. She wasn’t bothered because I made sure she didn’t feel lonely. My mom and one of her distant uncles had stood by our sides, and the proceedings had been exciting. I could remember that the media had talked about it for months, and we had been the most trending couple. I didn’t do well with her. That was certain. I glanced at her again. Her eyes were red. Damn. Whatever she was thinking about must be hurtful.  It’s you. My phone vibrated. A messag
