บททั้งหมดของ Divorced By My Husband; Married To His Boss: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Riley’s POVI stepped out of the closet dressed in a comfortable silk nightie, preparing for bed. The sound of running water from the bathroom notified me that Mr. King was still running a shower.He had offered for me to join, but I declined; I was not comfortable sharing a bath. The things he makes me feel felt strange.Noah had told me stories of their days in high school, keeping me entertained and learning about sides of Mr. King he didn’t look like someone had.Noah asked me not to be too hard on Mr. King and that anything Mr. King does for me, I should be rest assured that it was from the bottom of his heart.He mentioned that he hadn’t seen Mr. King so interested and invested in a relationship, I had asked him about Monica, and he told me the same thing Mr. King told me.I didn’t know if I was to trust Noah, but I felt he wouldn’t lie to me, and just maybe I was being too hard on him.Snapping out of my train of thought, I begin to pack my hair into a bun, my ringing tone sudd

Riley’s POVI was going through some pieces of paperwork and reviewing documents that are required to be done by the new managing director. It was a lot to take in, but I needed to work hard to prove myself. My eyes were already aching at so much paperwork to review.Knowing that I was in Asher’s position and he was underneath my command made I felt superior, and although there was a hint of guilt, I could finally say that he got what he deserved. He may have treated me like I didn’t matter towards the end of our relationship, but now I did.And he was to play by my rules, and I will make sure he regrets every single thing he did, including his family.Since the other day he called, he hasn’t tried to reach out and beg for his job, but I had an email sent to him to resume work today. I wasn’t sure if he got it or if his pride was too big to lower his standards and how to me?Well, whatever it is, after today, if he doesn’t come, he was kissing his job goodbye.Just as I was startin

Riley’s POVI trudged through the front door, exhausted and drained. It had been a long day at the office, and I had insisted on staying late to finish up some work despite Noah's protests.He tried to convince me to close up early and head home, but I wanted to finish with a certain potion before leaving, and thankfully I did, although it has been very draining; I feel exhausted.“Good evening, Mrs. King, would you like me to arrange your dinner—“ Esmeralda asked.I shook my head, “No thank you, I’ve had something to eat.” That was a lie, but I didn’t have an appetite; all I wanted to do was run a long shower and then have a good night's sleep.My whole muscles were sore.Food is the last thing on my agenda.A message dropped on my phone, and thinking it was Mr. King, I hurriedly checked; looking forward to his messages has become my daily source of excitement.It was Sophia still thinking, thanking me.I had given Sophia a job offer, and she had accepted. After discussing with her

Riley’s POVI let out a sigh as I flipped through the documents. This was my life now, working back-to-back.Fatigue crept within me as I let out a growl. A knock came through my door, and I ushered the person in, composing myself.Amber walked in with a sinister look on her face.I felt the urge to hiss, knowing that she was here for trouble.“How can I help you, Amber?” I ask, leaning back on the chair.She sent me a glare. “You’re a horrible person, Riley. How can you even live like this knowing that you’ve stolen my Asher’s spot?”I rolled my eyes. “Please, I’m not in for a long talk; walk out of my office if you have nothing important to say. I cannot entertain nonsense.”Her nose flared, “How did you even do it? I mean, get to know Mr. King up to the extent of marrying him? Huh? I’ve always known you were with Asher for your motive. “It was the same thing over and over again; she sounded like a broken record.“Amber, I’m warning you now, walk out of my office or else—“She cuts

Riley’s POVWe reached Sophia's apartment building, guilt still eating me up; I made sure to leave my phone behind to avoid getting tracked.I didn’t know if I was being fair to Mr. Ming, but I just wanted some time away.I had to be careful not to be seen by any of Mr. King's men, Ryder specifically, or Mr. King himself. Especially not with Sophia; I didn’t want to get her in trouble if we happened to get caught.Plus, if anyone saw us together last if investigations of my whereabouts are taking place, she’ll surely be involved.Sophia held on to my hand, seeing as I was lost in thoughts, “Hey! It’s going to be fine.”I forced a smile, nodding, “Thank you.”"Thankfully we could get out of the office without being seen," she said, glancing around nervously. "I don't think Mr. King would find it funny if he finds out you’re gone. Are you sure you did the right thing?” She tried to reason.“I don’t know; I just need a day or two to think. A lot has been going on, and it gets overwhelmin
