All Chapters of After Divorce, I Return As CEO : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Evangeline’s frown quickly turned into a look of surprise and shortly after, the sound of gaps reached Ivory’s ears.She turned to look at everyone, arching an unbothered brow as if she had just spoken the truth.Lionel and several of the maids who were present and had witnessed the encounter, looked at her like she had just vomited abominable words.Whereas, the man of the subject himself, Gadreel, he looked-Oh, the smile on Ivory’s lips twitched a bit, threatening to fall the moment she saw Gadreel’s dark expression.He…he did not look pleased with what she had just said and indeed, he wasn’t.Gadreel wasn’t one to let his expression speak. The most useful advice his father had given him when he had still been alive, was to always keep a poker face and smile in front of his guests, Enemies or allies alike, thus, Gadreel had grown used to controlling his facial expression, keeping it neutral like his father said.But this…this was just too much!Ivory had crossed the line! He had co

Ivory frowned.“You what?” Drying her hand, she turned to face her phone, flinching ever so slightly when she spotted Gadreel by the kitchen entrance.His gaze was fixed on her phone, dark and piercing, not giving her an idea on just how much he had heard.Then it flickered to her and for a second, Ivory could have sworn her breath seized.She blinked again, then avoided his gaze, paying more attention to her phone than him.“What…what did you say, Em?” She asked, walking towards her phone, scooping it up from the counter and removing it from speaker phone.“I’ve got you five hot bachelors! Ready to mix and mingle at any moment. You up? Please tell me you’re up.”For some reason, she looked at Gadreel. He was watching her, unmoving and unreadable as always.It was such a bore and she couldn’t help but wonder why she had put up with this type of an attitude from him.Well, luckily, she didn’t have to put up with it no more.“Yes, I’ll be there, just send me an address.”“Yess! Alright,

The race started off with a bang. Both the cars sped, neck to neck at first until the Arrogant driver took the lead, but Ivory wasn’t about to lose.She had the experience, she knew what she was doing. Besides, this wasn’t her first time.Granted, the driver was skilled. But compared to her, he was an amateur and Ivory planned on showing him just how much.She maneuvered the course, drifting at every turn and avoiding every obstacle, all the while keeping a smile on her lips.She was entertained, unlike her boring daily life so far. Emma could see this, at the same time, she could see her life flashing before her eyes.Ivory had driven fast the first time, but because it was just as warm up and she wasn’t against someone who pushed her to perform better, she had driven slower than the current time.Now, with a competitor, the race had become heated and their opponent passed them for the third time.“Don’t worry,” Almost as if sensing the anxious fear within Emma, Ivory spoke, keeping

Gadreel’s lip were hot and soft against her own, ravaging and claiming her lips with a hunger Ivory never knew existed.Before said hunger could consume her, Ivory violently shoved Gadreel away by his chest and glared at him.“What the hell is wrong with you?” She demanded. “Are you crazy, what makes you think you can do this?”“I am your husband,” Gadreel took a step forward, having a defensive edge to his demeanor. “Its my right to do this! If you can fool around with other men, why not me?”She…fool around with other men?Ivory scoffed. At this point she didn’t even have the strength to explain or debunk Gadreel useless notions. He had lost the right to that privilege.“Your delusional.” She said. “And if you think I’m gonna explain myself to you, then you better get yourself checked into a mental asylum because last I checked,” She kept her gaze focused on his face while two of her fingers tapped her wrist. “We’re less than twenty four hours away from being divorced. I don’t owe y

Clenching his jaw, Gadreel didn’t immediately sign the papers, in fact, he didn’t want to. But under the prying eyes present and his reputation as a business man who stood by his words, he had no choice but to follow through.Picking up the pen, he signed his name and the judge wasted no time in approving the documents.Walking out of the hall, Gadreel couldn’t help but run his hand through his hair, a gesture he only did when he felt frustrated.And right now, he was indeed frustrated, for some reason, the divorce didn’t give him the relief he had anticipated.The same however, couldn’t be said for Ivory.One glance in her direction and he could tell that she was relieved. It showed on her face, the way she smiled down at the divorce certificate and in the way she drew in the fresh morning air.The sight Irked Gadreel, but then, his eyes caught sight of one of the hickey just below her jaw and he sighed.Perhaps he has gone a bit overboard last night. He should say something about th
