Semua Bab Mr CEO Your Ex-wife Is Back: Bab 91 - Bab 100

AVAI woke up before my alarm, not that I was well-rested, but because my mind refused to stay quiet any longer.The room felt still, but my thoughts were already moving, for a moment, I stayed in bed staring at the ceiling, letting the weight settle properly instead of pushing it away.Helping Julian wasn’t the problem, helping him without losing control was.I got up, dressed simply, and stepped out without waiting to see Emma. Avoiding her wasn’t intentional, but I wasn’t just comfortable letting her know the processes of doing this whole bull-shit.Julian called before I even got into the car.“You’re up early,” he said.“I have things to do,” I replied.A brief pause followed before he continued.“Ava please, I need you focused. This isn’t something we can afford to mishandle.”“I’m aware,” I said calmly.He gave me an address.“Go there. Someone will be waiting for you. His name is Vincent. He’ll guide you through the process.”“What process exactly?” I asked.“The kind you’ll n

AVAThe ringing of my phone jolted me awake from sleep. I picked it up with sleepy eyes.“Ava, sorry for disturbing your sleep but you have to try and get here in 20 minutes.” Vincent’s voice came through the other end.“Huh?” I said, trying to comprehend what I just heard.“I said, be at my office in 20 minutes. We start today.”“I know we start today but like Now?”“There is no better time than now.” He said “And tell your inside source to be ready for command.”That ended the conversation. At that point, I forced myself out of bed even though I didn’t want to and went straight to take a shower. I got ready as quickly as I could to meet his twenty-minute deadline, even though I already knew it was unrealistic.When I got downstairs, Emma was still asleep, so I had to wake her.“Emma, wake up,” I said.“Ava?” she murmured, stretching slightly.“Get your inside source ready for command,” I told her. “I’ll be leaving now.”“Okay,” she replied, steadying herself.Then I left for Vincen

AVAI woke up before my alarm, staring at the ceiling for a few seconds before finally sitting up. My body felt normal, but my mind was already racing through everything I needed to get done for the day. I pushed the thoughts aside, got out of bed, and went straight to the bathroom.By the time I got dressed, I had already decided I wasn’t going to overthink anything today. Work was work, and I needed to stay grounded in it.When I got downstairs, Emma was already sitting at the dining table as always, scrolling through her phone.“You’re up early,” she said, glancing at me.“I have a full schedule today,” I replied, picking up my bag.“Eat something first.”“I’ll eat later,” I said.“You always say that.” She said making a baby face.“Okay, you know what?…Let’s eat.” I replied with a smile taking a sit at the dinning table.Emma went in and got me me something to eat.The aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air, as she dropped a plate of toast and scrambled eggs neatly on

AVAThe night we got back home, I didn’t sleep. I laid on my bed staring into nothing, my mind replaying the same thing over and over again. “Well whatever the truth is, I’ll find out tomorrow.” I said to the empty room.The next morning, I woke up early than usual, Daniel was still asleep. I carefully went about my morning bath and prepared to leave without waking up. Going downstairs Emma wasn’t in the dinning, she seemed not to have waken up to.“Good morning ma’am” Mrs Keller greeted. “You’re up early.”“Yes I am, If Daniel asks, tell him I’m off for work.”“Okay ma’am”I turned and headed to the car, then picked up my phone and sent a message to Sienna: Meet me at Virelle Café in ten minutes.She saw it almost immediately. And replied with a single word: Why?I didn’t answer.The drive to the café felt unsettling as I kept wondering how our conversation would unfold. I got there before her.I chose a seat where I could see the entrance clearly, my fingers tapping lightly again

SIENNAI didn’t move immediately after she left.For a moment, I just stood there, staring at the space she had occupied like something was supposed to still be there. The air around me felt heavier.Then I exhaled slowly and adjusted my posture. People were staring but I couldn’t care less.I picked up my bag calmly and walked out of the café like nothing had happened. The sunlight outside felt too bright, almost irritating. I walked straight to my car, opened the door, and slid into the driver’s seat before finally letting the silence settle around me.Then I touched my cheek, the sting from the slap still lingering. I let out a small, humorless laugh and leaned back against the seat, closing my eyes for a brief second, refusing to believe what just happened.“She’s lost her mind,” I muttered under my breath. I finally opened my eyes slowly and stared ahead. “There's something about the look in her eyes..” I thought out loud.I started the car but didn’t move immediately. Instead,
