All Chapters of Divorced By Mistake: Reclaiming My Ex-wife : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

(Bella)"Wait, you did?" Derrick raises an eyebrow as I hand him a glass of juice, while I settle into the couch just across him.The twins are out with Anne for a quick stroll around the estate while I'd promised to take them out to grab ice cream next weekend.I was just working on a new client's profile before Derrick came.I nod. "Yes, Rick. I just couldn't keep to myself anymore and if anything, Calvin doesn't deserve to be kept in the dark," I retorted.Derrick let out a long breath, almost in relief. "To be honest, that's just the right thing to do.""I know right. And Dean's been–," I pause, thinking my next words through.Derrick rolls his eyes. "What? Is he bothering you?" his expression shifts to that of concern.I suck in breath. "Not exactly, but he's been a little too much lately, dredging up the past, hurling hurtful words at me as if he'd planned to taunt me at every chance he gets," I reply but my voice has a sharp edge to it.Derrick's expression falters as he holds

(Bella)As l walk my way down the corridor, I spot Cynthia walking to her office, I quicken my step just to meet up.And most notably, she's been oddly calm, that's unlike her, she always seems to be at loggerhead with me, and doesn't fail to show just how much.Right on cue, I step in front of her door before she could touch the doorknob, she looks up at me, her expression blank.I drag in a sharp breath. "Look, Cynthia, about the other day, I'm sorry for snapping at you, it wasn't my intention to, I was just having a bad day," I apologize.She takes a step closer, her eyes narrowing at me and then she spat. "Your business, not mine. I don't care," she says outrightly but I know now that she usually doesn't mean what she says.And from what I'd observed, Cynthia wasn't best at showing emotions and she has a very strange way of showing empathy.She acts like she's bottling up so much, like something is eating her up. I'd like to think that her attitude towards me has everything to do

(Dean)My phone rings and it's Humphrey calling. I click the green icon and press the phone to my ear."Yes?" I answer, sipping my coffee."Good day boss. The official document for the building has been finalized." He divulged, his voice crisp and professional.I bring the cup down. "Hmm. I see," I mutter."Yes, boss. Are you willing to retain the security officers working there?" He asks.I didn't even have to think. "Of course, everyone keeps their jobs," I reply."Alright noted sir. And the building inspection, when are you free?""Is there any need for that, Humphrey?" I ask, I have my decision of not showing up there in mind when I ask."Most definitely boss, it's one of your laid down policies before purchasing a property," Humphrey reminds me.I take a quick glance at my wrist watch, we still have time before my morning meetings. "Alright. Let's go take a look this morning," if l don't do that now, I'm not sure when it'd be.I'm about to hang up when I retort. "Oh, and one more

(Dean)It's been days and I still don't know how to feel about the mean things Bella said to me.I thought mentioning the unsigned divorce papers will make her see things differently but I guess I was wrong.Yet again, she's proven to me that she never wanted to be with me.Why do I even keep trying?I mean, she cheated on me, deceived me but I'm the one who hasn't signed the divorce papers, who's been mooning over her and yet when I mentioned it, she showed no interest whatsoever in that.Like she didn't give a care in the world.I guess that did it for me.And now, I'm almost certain that I won't bother her again. I'm going to move on completely just like she has.I'd find the courage to sign the divorce papers officially and put everything behind me.So, throughout these days I've preoccupied my mind with work, attending more meetings than usual, my schedule has been a lot tighter, with barely a moment to spare for introspection.I even went as far as signing up for a gym membershi

(Dean)Calvin blinks as realization hits him, his expression twists but that reaction doesn't linger on for too long.Bella's face contorts in rage instantly, she looks at me fiercely with a note of disbelief. "Stop with the BS, Dean!" She snaps, taking a step closer, she seems more annoyed than anything, her eyes are narrowed at me, emitting an intense anger, a side of her I've never seen. "I'm no one's wife," she declared, her voice sharp.Hearing her say that straight to my face without a care in the world, undoes something in me.My jaw tightens. "You think this is a joke?" I seethe, my eyes pinned on her. "We're not officially divorced and what you're doing right now," I say, pointing between her and Calvin. "Is damn wrong but it's not like being faithful has ever been your strong suit anyways," I mocked, my voice a deep coating of sarcasm.A chuckle slips out of Bella's mouth, a dry, humourless sound. My frustration boils over, and for a moment I wonder if I've said anything funn
