All Chapters of After Divorce, I Married The CEO : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER TWOJane knocked twice and waited for a response, leaning on her bag for support. It hadn’t been easy locating this place especially since it had been a long time she had been here. Abigail wasn’t picking up and she knew a hotel was out of the question not because she didn’t have money but because Abby wouldn’t hear of it. She raised her hand to knock again when the door burst open and her cousin Abigail’s form appeared at the doorway. “Hey cuz, I missed your call. I was in the kitchen.” She made a move to hug her and then paused when she spotted the bags close to Jane’s feet. “What’s this? Are you leaving town or what?” She frowned when Jane didn’t laugh at her joke and tugged her arm, pulling her inside before grabbing the bags. Half an hour later, Jane was sitting on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa in her hands. “Thanks for letting me stay here Abby, I can’t thank you enough.” Abigail Warren sighed and stretched her hand out to touch Jane’s shoulders. “I’m so sorry b

CHAPTER FOURThe driver parked the car close to the house and Jane looked out the window at the house she had regarded as home for two years. Tears pricked her eyes but she held back intent on staying strong. Caleb sighed and reached for her head forcing her to look away from the window and at him. “Whatever you do, never show how much this all affects you in public.” He paused to gauge her reaction before he continued. “You can cry all you want when you come home but never show them how much their actions bother you, ever.” His tone took on a stern, hard quality but Jane nodded understanding what he meant. “I would come with you but I feel you should do this on your own.” Jane smiled gratefully, unshed tears shining in her eyes. “Yes, I need to do this on my own but I must thank you for the support.” She brushed away the tears. “You are right, I can’t let that bastard see me at my weakest.” “Here,” Caleb said, stretching out a brown envelope and Jane smiled accepting it from him.

CHAPTER 6“Thank you,” Jane said shyly, and sullenly as they got to the door of her room.“It's nothing,” he said firmly. “You've said more thank you's than you've actually had a normal conversation with me,” he pointed out.A smile tugged at her lips. But it was a dry, sad and lonely one. “Go on ahead, get some rest. We have a long day tomorrow,” Caleb said. “Goodnight.”She opened her mouth to speak but closed it the moment she saw him walking down but his aura lingered. She slowly turned away and swiped her card. The moment she was in her room, she kicked off her shoes and threw herself on the bed, wondering how people who cut you deeply when you weren't watching were the same ones who treated your wounds. Because they knew just how to break you and fix you.As she took off her clothes, a part of her wished she could be in her fathers arms now and sob in his chest and tell him he was right. She wished she had listened to him back then but the damage had been done. And there is not

CHAPTER 8Xavier, Rose, Caleb's mother and Lillian, his sister, were at the restaurant waiting for their arrival. Lillian, ever the chatterbox, was gushing about how beautiful and smart Jane must be. "I've heard so much about her already, and I can't wait to meet her. I bet she's stunning!" she exclaimed, her excitement palpable."Lilian, would you compose yourself? There are eyes everywhere" Rose mumbled, her face indifferent as she grabbed a glass of wine from the table and took a sip. Xavier watched Lilian silently, his eyes absorbing her excitement. The way her eyes lit up and the way she smiled when she talked about his nephew's wife.“You're not saying anything uncle,” Lilian said and pouted her lips.“What can I say?” Xavier muttered. “I've never really been impressed with the girls Caleb hangs out with.”“Not Jane though. I promise you'll love her uncle,” she said."I bet I would" Xavier smiled, a smile that didn't touch his lips and when he noticed no one was paying attention

Chapter 10Taking a deep breath, Jane sank into the car seat as Caleb sat beside her, minutes before the car started moving."Is everything alright? You look apprehensive" Caleb questioned when he noticed her uneasiness, but Jane only lowered her head. "Y–Yeah, I'm fine." Jane stuttered, avoiding Caleb's gaze."Don't be nervous, we just have to show everyone we are married and we continue with our plans.""About that," Jane paused for a while, recollecting her words, "I don't want to be introduced as your wife."Jane's words took Caleb aback, and he asked, "Is everything alright?""Yeah, I just don't want to be given preferential treatment," Jane replied, rubbing her sweaty hands on her purple jumpsuit. "Why?""It's just..." She paused and bit her lower lips. "I want to find my feet first. I want them to know me for me, and not just because I'm the boss' wife. "That's okay, we'll take it slowly then." That was the end of the discussion as he continued scrolling through his palmtop,
