All Chapters of Resisting My Ex-Bully: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

JOSIE“I need to tell you something important.” Once I heard Killian's tense voice, I knew I wasn't going to hear anything pleasant.I had just finished making our coffee. I placed the cups on the kitchen table and sat down; Killian sat in front of me. “Well?” I urged, curving my lips into a nervous smile.“Estelle will be here for another two weeks,” he stated, and my shoulders slumped.I could feel my chest tighten. Jealousy was a nasty thing, but I couldn't help but feel insecure. She was Killian's first love. Hell, he'd started bullying me because of her! How could I not feel insecure when she appeared in his life again?“We will deal with it.” He smiled faintly and leaned across the table, reaching for my hands. “We will deal with everything. I will do whatever I can to stop this merger from—”“Wow!” I slipped my hands away and frowned. “What merger?” I demanded.Killian sighed. “Father was talking with Mr. Yan about the merger… but he failed to inform me that the two companies th

“I'm sorry it turned out this way.” That was about the fifth time I heard Killian say it since we left the Blair Digital building. He took me to his friend's restaurant for dinner. He did it most likely because he felt guilty for putting me in this situation, but I would never say no to good food.Killian pulled out a chair for me as we were about to sit at our table. He tried to smile, but I could still see the guilt tensing his every muscle. I sighed and grabbed his hand, smiling. “Please stop apologizing. You didn't do anything wrong. It was all your father's doing.”He clenched his jaw as he walked to his side of the table. “Still, it pisses me off that I couldn't respond differently to his ridiculous demand.”“It's not that bad.” I shrugged slightly, keeping my faint smile. “It could have been worse. At least we convinced your father to limit the number of unwanted guests to Estelle alone. One person is much easier to control than an army of Estelle's men, snooping around our pro

Knowing the criminal code was the only thing stopping me from ending this tour in the bloodiest way possible. No one had ever tested my patience and control the way Estelle did. Yet, I found a way to stop myself from killing her. Me and my brain agreed to treat her like a lunatic who didn't truly know what she was saying and doing. As I uploaded new settings into my system, I was finally able to ignore her rambling about how she would soon become the owner of this company and focus on leading her through the important elements of our project.“And I believe this is it.” I forced myself to smile, stopping by the elevators. “I've shown you everything there is to see about the Happy App.”She wagged her finger “no” and chuckled. “I need one more thing. I need all access codes so that my specialists can test whether we can make some improvements.”The tame I'd made to block my rage cracked into pieces. My hands curled into tight fists as I stepped closer and locked my eyes on hers. “That'

Three hours after Farid Talpur had left, I still couldn't regain my composure. Thousands of questions ran through my head as I began to recall everything I could remember from that time. As a twelve-year-old, I wasn't involved in company matters, but I remembered that on the day of the accident, my father stayed at home. He'd spent hours on the phone, cursing and shouting at whoever had been on the other side of the line. Was it possible that my aunt's and uncle's deaths hadn't been an accident but a well-orchestrated assassination? Could my father be the one behind it?My body was still tense as I returned to the penthouse. I wanted to see Josie. At some point, she had become my anchor, my remedy, my balance, and right now, I needed her more than ever. I realized how selfish I was. I hadn't talked to her since our fight, and I should have apologized first, but right now, wrapping my arms around her and kissing her senseless was all I could think about.“Josie?” I called out as I ente

I felt just like that day when Killian's friends poured a bucket of ice cubes over my head. Only this time, it was my heart that felt the hit the most. Killian's embrace began to burn my skin. I pressed my hands to his chest, trying to push him away and free myself, but he shifted his arms around me, pulling me close again.“Josie, please… Let me finish,” he said softly. “I don't want to leave you. I don't want to hurt you…”“Then... what do you mean?” I choked out.He breathed out slowly, dipping his head and hiding his face in the crook of my neck. “I'm a bastard for starting our conversation like this... but there's no time left.” He kissed his way up to my jaw before raising his eyes to mine. “We need to hide our relationship for a while. We need to officially break up. That's the only way I can force my father to lower his guard. Then I will do whatever I can to stop the merger.”My brows knitted. “So... what was this?” I pointed at our naked bodies. “A goodbye sex?”He tilted hi
