All Chapters of Seducing My Ex-husband: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Intrigued, my eyes was locked at the DJ who was now smiling widely. Maybe that was part of their gimmick. What was he hiding underneath his sleeves? "Hello there again! I almost forgot, for those who doesn't know me, I am your dj on the house, DJ Ram! And the short 'disturbance' was part of our little game. But did nothing happen?"  He chuckled. His face was full of mirth and delight. He has this pair of phoenix eyes that would curve whenever he is smiling. "That's because the three pairs that will play tonight will be based on your luck! The ticket to play was under the glass that you bought! Now, now, turn your glass upside-down. The three pairs who obtained the glasses with the color yellow , blue and red, underneath, are invited to go up the stage!" 

I went straight back to my seat without looking at his direction. The way his eyes looks at me and how my body reacts feels somehow wrong. I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I sat on the high stool again. It was as if I was being chased by a tiger. That feeling when your heart is beating so fast from fear, frustrations and excitement, to the point that it made your mind dizzy. "Another Margarita please... ahm wait, do you have an extremely cold juice? I feel incredibly hot." The bartender immediately nodded. He started preparing the drinks with leisure but efficient moves. My eyes are glued back to the middle of the dance floor. He's gone? I felt a little regretful upon seeing not even his familiar shadow.  I drank the glass of juice; I had o

I grabbed the clean white robe near me and put it on. I head to the bathroom, even though my legs were still numb. I lightly massage them until the numbness was reduced. My body is covered with sweat making me grimace. Promptly demanding for a good and nice warm bath. I stare at my reflection for a second before I started cleaning my face. I cup a good amount of water and splash it on my skin washing the dirt and sweat away. My cheeks automatically turned red as I stared at the suspiciously strange swelling of my lips. "He's too rough."  I paused.  "Why am I thinking about that? It was a mistake, Helga!"

After two days of recuperating, I found the courage to finally step out of my suite.I just spot myself sitting by the side of a floor to ceiling window, inside of a simple coffee shop, opposite the hotel. While watching people rush into their respective jobs. Some of them are already wide awake and there are others who are fighting drowsiness with coffee while urging their legs to take long strides. The street was filled with hustle and bustle.My fingers softly drummed against the table along with the faint sound of a piano symphony.In front of mine lay a smoky and freshly brewed coffee. The strong soothing aroma floating atop, calming my once tensed nerves. Beside it was a plate of pancakes, bacon pressed in a sandwich, and various snacks.My simple yet hearty breakfast."Ms. Chen --- Helga Chen, is that you?" Said the woman who was currently standing before me, making me jolt in surprise.

The life of the 'big bosses' of various industries are truly luxurious. Every CEO's that I come across with have different preferences, but all of them equally boasted their luxurious lifestyle through their collections.  Just like the one in front of me. From beautiful furniture to glowing fountain pens. It is also evident in the simple but elegant decor that is displayed in the office. They are of high quality and expensive accessories. I formalized the expression on my face and smiled at him.  I pasted a polite smile on my lips while hiding the slight tremor in my eyes. "Nice to meet you, I'm from Grandeur, my name is Helga Chen," I enunciated as I accepted his outstretched hand.  My eyes deliberately trailed up to his neatly ironed formal wear to the ring coiled around his finger. Right from the corner of my eyes, I noticed how Ylac shifted on his seat with a raised eyebrow.
