All Chapters of Inconvenient Love (A Billionaire Romance): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 31: Indefinite LeaveClaire’s POVBuildings began to gradually emerge on the way signaling that we are now entering the heart of the city. There were fewer cars passing by and the once busy streets were now littered by a few people, mostly homeless ones. The lively establishments were now closed and only a few convenience stores were now open. My eyes were drifting slowly to slumber and ignored the pain in my back and the stinging scratches I obtained in my limbs from crawling in the vent. The car turned into a street and I closed my eyes to take a nap, but then he stopped. I looked around and saw the bold red letters that said “EMERGENCY”. He drove to a hospital.“Why are we here?” I mumbled and he just looked at me as if I was kidding. He took his seatbelt off and moved to get out, but I quickly grabbed his arm

Chapter 33: Decline the SummitClaire’s POV“Claire, come with me.” Ms. Anabella Grey walked in sporting her cherry red stilettos that despite her age she could still manage to showcase her fashion sense. I stopped typing on my computer and disconnected the hard drive where I kept all of my important files. I shoved the drive in my bag and zipped it close before I stood to follow her, taking only my cell phone with me. We entered her office and I closed the door from behind. “Yes, ma’am?” I asked.“I should not be bringing an intern into the conference later this afternoon, however, given your position in the company,” she emphasized, knowing my connection to Alex, “I think you should be there so that you could get a wider grasp of this job.” she finished as she sat on her swivel chair, her hands clasping together as they rested on the table.“What conference, ma’am?” I inquired in curiosity.“You have heard of the Global Hospitality Summit, right?” “Yes, ma’am. It will commence ton

Chapter 35: TrappedClaire’s POVAlex did not respond on my statement and I heard from the background an order being given by another man, at the same time, Fred and Tony held at their earpiece to listen to whatever was being spoken to them. However, I could clearly hear an order from Alex’s line despite the statement that Alex is telling me now.“Fine, I will have them clear the building.” Alex said, but I barely paid attention to what he said because the man near him barking orders was saying, “Get her to the chopper no matter what it takes.”And I know that it was a strict order from Alex regardless of what he himself was telling me.I frowned, he is lying. Tony and Fred was keenly looking at me. Fred’s hand was still on the button, but even though my eyes held theirs, my focus was on the red button at the bottom of all the buttons.In a swift motion, I reached and pressed the red button that was labeled “STOP”. And immediately the elevator shook and came into a an emergency stop.

Chapter 37: His Choice, His AbsenceClaire’s POVI clenched my jaw, enduring the pain I was in. I opened my eyes and caught Dante glancing at men through the side of his eyes.“Drop me off, I will take a cab.” I uttered coldly. While Dante maneuvered the car, searching for a legal U turn, Alex spoke, “no, take her to the hospital, I will take a cab.”A statement that was supposed to at least ease the pain I was feeling, it did not. Because the fact that he was willing to leave me alone to go to his damn first love does not change anything.We reached a nearby corner, and Alex stepped out, hailing a cab with urgency. I watched him go, my heart breaking a little more with each step he took away from me. The car started moving again, the hospital not far away now. I leaned back, closing my eyes, trying to block out the pain, but it was impossible. The physical wounds were nothing compared to the emotional agony ripping through me.I was his wife, but in moments like this, it was clear w

Chapter 39: Left Claire’s POV It has been two days since Alex had been here. That day when he returned after the bombing incident, he said he had to be at his father’s side dealing with their businesses and the impact of the bombing to the value of their stocks in the market. They had to prevent it from going down further and ensure that their partners and shareholders as well as other stakeholders are secured, or else, if they start losing their trust on the Vermont Corporations, they would start pulling away to not get dragged down if the company goes down. The business news now focused on the Global Hospitality Summit, the standing of the top companies in the country, and the blow the Vermont Corporations had received from the bombuing attack. There were guesses, speculations, and assumptions as to why it happened on the same day of the commencement of the Global Hospitality Summit. Some speculated that it must have been done by rival companies, or a terrorist, or a former employe
