The CEO’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

To Love You Again, My Husband

Chapter 86: Removing Hassle Jackson’s

Silence, and tranquility. Somehow, I felt in a distress. Standing on the rooftop, I crumpled the pictures in my left hand the best I could. Then, strongly, I threw them below the rooftop as I knew the more I see them, the angrier I became.

How far will I go to have Airina by my side and how far is she willing to take just to have revenge on me?

“… It’s a mess, truly a dramatic scene if I must say.” I ridiculed myself, sucking a deep breath.

Inadvertently, I turned around hearing the door to the rooftop softly opening. And there came my so-called ‘fiancee’, Elisa.

I lightly smiled at her, putting my hands inside my pockets, and waited until she was right in front of me.

“It’s been a long time, and this kind of reunion was the least I expected or wanted.” I greeted her as my mocking tone passed through her ears. She leaned her back on the railings, her face remained the same. I supposed I have to applaud her for her skill of staying as is even in a downhill situation.

“Did you believe that I’d just go along with your play alongside Matthew?”

I lifted my brow, “Oh, that day when I arranged a meet-up between you two? Oh, come on, I don’t need a thank you, but I want you to break this engagement.”

Elisa lifted her hand as the diamond ring shone under the moonlight. I frowned, squinting at the sight that her hand had a ring that I hate to see on someone else.

“Your mother gave a marvelous gift and… exceptional advantages. It’s a win-win, let’s be honest. Will you really settle with Airina when she has nothing to offer?”

“What can you offer then?”

She locked gazes with me, “I am only yours, and so is the Montage group. If you got together with Airina, how would you benefit?”

I closed my eyes, “Marriage is not always for convenience-”

“I am doing this for the both of us.”

I smirked at her, “Truly, you don’t want me saying the opposite thing so I might just as well say that I am not interested in you even if we had to marry one another. Because I will find a way to divorce you.”

I wanted to walk past her, then I heard her say.

“How shameful it is that you have to go through two divorces, then. But are you really sure this marriage is just for me-”

I lifted my hand at her, shutting her up. “This marriage may only be for convenience in your case, but it is doubtlessly inconvenient to me; you are a trouble that I have to remove if I want to be with Airina,” I then laughed, remembering someone, “I should include Matthew as well in that list.”

“Matthew? Isn’t he in love with Airina?”

I frowned at her, “In love? Funny thing to say.”

I decided not to listen to her words despite that I was also full of doubts myself. I’ve already cleared my feelings with Airina, and so did she. I am certain that she has her reasons for doing this but… I felt like this was way too much.

We confessed and vowed but if this is how it goes on, how can I secure a future with her? Can I even do this?

I should probably get some booze and might as well drown the doubts I am having to clear up my mind. I may have been too occupied with lots of things.

After my divorce with Airina, I had reduced my consumption of alcohol. To be honest, sometimes I don’t even take a sip.

When I finally got my drink, someone I was familiar with graced my vision.

“… Lance?”

I frowned at him who lifted his hand as a greeting and lightly smiled at me. He gently patted my shoulder, sitting beside me and ordering himself his drink. Lance and I are college buddies. It’s been years since yet his looks didn’t change much.

“You almost didn’t have any glow-up dude,” I teased, nudging his elbow, “What’s gotten into you, by the way? I have never seen you drink before.”

He smirked at me, “Hopelessly in love, man. How are you doing? I’ve seen news about you and…”

I smiled, “How would you rate it?”

He laughed, “Full marks of 10, man. Well, how about you? What are you doing in this public place despite your fame?”

I shrugged my shoulders, “Hopelessly in love man, got the same problem as you are.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Then we laughed together, clinking our goblets in sync. Somehow, I gave his phone a passing glance and noticed his wallpaper.

I frowned, “Is that Nicole?”

Lance immediately turned his phone off, “… Ah, just some sort of hobby.”

Hobby? Lance and Nicole? How bold of him to hide this secret.
