All Chapters of Inconvenient Love (A Billionaire Romance): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11: A  Ticket to ParisTwo things had been bothering my mind since I got home, to his unit. I believe I could call this home from now on. First was his past relationship and why he married me instead of going after her, and second, was the thing of the past year, does he remember? I stared at the back of his head while he was watching the city lights, wondering what was going on in his head. “What is it?” he uttered while his eyes remained on the view in front of him.“Huh?”“I could feel your eyes watching me, Claire.” he replied.“What made you decide to get married? Why me? You do not know me.” I said, giving him a question in the hope of getting an answer to th

Chapter 13: His ReturnFor seven long days, the apartment echoed with silence, devoid of the usual presence of Alex. At first, I tried to convince myself that his absence was a welcome relief, an opportunity to embrace the solitude and focus on my work. However, as the days passed by, the emptiness of the unit became increasingly noticeable and kind of suffocating. I kept wondering when would the door open and reveal Alex. But it has been a week. I want to call it freedom; a freedom that I wanted since day 1, but I do not seem to enjoy it for I am looking forward to something that would return anytime. Hopefully.I get to pass my proposal today that I threw myself into every while I come home. The assistant manager, Mr. Twine to whom I was ordered to pass the proposal glanced through the paper with an indifferent expression. His eyes, hidden behind the lenses of his glasses, flicked through the pages in what felt like mere seconds. I held my breath, aw

Chapter 15: Meeting Alessandro VermontI had no choice but to carry the loads of papers in my arms and go back to the conference room to distribute these files. The other employees on our floor just glanced and some stared at me while I passed them by, and no one offered to help, as expected, they must be one of those who hold grudges and judgments towards me. Making my way to the conference room was no easy task with my pencil skirt and high heeled footwear, adding to the struggle in reaching the conference room. But what choice do I have but to suck it all up for this is what I have requested, to have a job, rather than stay in the unit the whole day and night. It has been more than a month and I have only saved up a portion of my salary since I do also have some personal expenses incurred, and a week ago I was also compelled by my step mother to send them money since my father was rushed to the hospital. I k

Chapter 17: A Spark in the Night Claire’s POVWhen I thought I was free tonight. I am wrong. The alcohol in my system had completely taken over my rationality and I was swaying my body with a man with his hand on my hips, and I do not care of anything else. However, that changed when a few streaks of light showed me who was standing against the bar counter, taking a glance at his wrist watch then his eyes went to me.I was surprised but I am not in the right mind to stop enjoying myself. I thought he went with Alex on his trip He is his secretary he should be following him wherever he goes.But I guess tonight, I was the one who got followed. Well, who cares, Alex is in Italy anyway. And besides, he would probably not mind that I went out. He could do whatever he wanted, so I should

Chapter 19: Covering Love BitesClaire’s POVI curled under my blanket and stared at the empty side of my bed. The chilly air from the air conditioning unit bit my exposed skin sharply. I sighed as I recalled what happened last night. I do not know what time it is already but I did not bother to hurry myself and go to work. I need a break from the office.My phone buzzed from the bedside table but I did not have the energy and the will to deal with anything right now. If that is from the office, then it could wait until tomorrow. A minute after, my phone rang and it was annoying to the ears. I rolled and reached for my phone, checking the caller ID. Tanya.“Spill!” I pulled the phone away from my ear when she screamed once I answered. I
