All Chapters of After Divorce, I Return As CEO : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ivory got home after a tiring first day at the office and collapsed on her bed.She pulled out her phone and began scrolling through the internet. Although Camilla had assured her that all and any picture of her had been removed from the net, Ivory had decided to do a little investigation herself.But at that very moment, her phone dinged with a notification.A message from an app she hadn’t used for quite some time. Luminary Accord’s personalized mobile app.She clicked on the app, and it displayed her personal account.Arnett.That was the codename she had chosen when she joined the association, only giving those she considered close enough to her, her real name.The frown that has been on her face as she accessed the app was immediately transformed into a look of surprise when she accessed the message and saw it was a message from the bot admin containing an invite to one of Luminary’s upcoming seminar.She smiled faintly at this, after all, it sounded like a great opportunity to s

The atmosphere had immediately returned back to how it once was the moment Ivory left.Gadreel was back to Evangeline’s side in seconds, rubbing soothing circles on her back with hopes of her heart not being affected.On the other side of Evangeline, Lionel and Samantha grumbled curses under their breaths, insulting the situation that had just happened and behind them, the on lookers also seemed to have their own fair share of say towards what had happened.Hearing from both directions, Gadreel suddenly felt a bit irritated. The movement of his hand against Evangeline’s back stopped and he turned to the whispering crowd, fixing them with a brief glare that had each and every one of them shutting up.Evangeline, ever the observant, did not fail to notice this.She frowned, but just as she was about to ask why Gadreel seemed irritated by their whispers, the door to the ward opened and in came Peter Mendez , the physician in charge of her case.“Doctor Mendez,” Lionel was the first to ap

Fuck! She cursed. There was no way in hell she was getting in the same elevator as Gadreel!Her eyes quickly darted about looking for the stairway. She spotted it under seconds, but just as she turned to leave, Gadreel grabbed her hand.“Let go!” Ivory snapped, not wanting to waste another second.But her words didn’t seem to get to Gadreel. He frowned at her sight and without another word, pulled her into the elevator.The doors slid close before Ivory could protest and Gadreel pulled out a black card to swipe against the pad, granting access to the presidential floor.“What are you doing?” Ivory struggled in his hold. “Didn’t you hear me, I said let-“The rest of her words died on the tip of her tongue as Gadreel turned to glare at her.How dare she be so stubborn when she was dressed like this. She was practically exposed.If they had met under different circumstances, Gadreel would have ignored her. But imagine this, he came to this hotel, because after discussing with Veronica, h

18 minutes had already gone by; Evangeline noted this as she glanced at the time on her phone and then took a sip from her drink.All round her, people were bubbly and vibing to the club music, the atmosphere nothing short but happy, safe for her mood.Anxious and annoyed she felt as she tapped her leg and ignored the guy at her side, who had been trying hard to hit on her, as she waited for Gadreel to arrive.She hoped he would, else, she'd actually be spending the night in the arms of another man. The thought didn't totally disgust her, but it didn't please her rather, after all, she wanted Gadreel.He was the reason why she had drank a cup of aphrodisiac drug, although it wasn't the real deal, unlike the one that Ivory had been given, and would in fact, not take effect in twenty minutes, rather forty, but Gadreel didn't know that and Evangeline didn't care.It was the only way she could think of to get Gadreel's attention. Just thinking about the fact that he was with Ivory, irked

The following day, Ivory was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing. She groaned in protest as she wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep.Her phone, or rather, the caller, had other plans for her as the phone kept ringing. Frustrated and angered at the same time, Ivory finally answered the phone.“Yes-““This very instant, come home.” The voice that sounded from the other end belonged to her father.Pulling the phone away from her ear, she confirmed this and with a hiss, loud enough for Lionel to hear, she ended the call and placed her phone on the night stand, attempting to go back to sleep.However, the phone rang a few more times, totally disrupting that mission of hers. Finally at her wits end, Ivory took her phone and powered it off, granting both herself and her bedroom, temporary peace.Yeah, she thought, sinking comfortably back into her bed, this was it.The much needed sleep that she deserved. Who was her father to call and demand she come home after what he had don
