Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

“you know, if he’s single and he doesn’t have a woman, nor that, Shane, maybe you should give him a chance this time? You might fall in love with him by exposing who you really are.”

Ciara arched her brow at how Serra was suddenly sounding rational. She remembered how she hated Callum and mocked him from head to foot, cursed almost all of his generations, and called all the demons she could call, and now she would hear her advising her to give him a chance.

“Welcoming him again into my life means pulling that b**h into my life, Serra. Do you think that woman wouldn’t put up a g o m fight if she thinks Fin stealing that Callum of hers from her again? That b**h is crazy. And I would never give her a reason to come back into my life now that I have a daughter. She might hurt my daughter after the accident happened to her, which she was blaming me for.”

Serra’s expression changed, as she suddenly felt like she was completely on Clara’s side and had just forgotten that part as she nodded to Ciara.

“Well, you’re right. It’s Cara’s safety over anything else. Over your love interest,” she clarified.

“I don’t love him anymore.” Ciara admitted, and Serra leaned again, her face zooming in toward her.

“So you really did love him in the past?”

“Isn’t it obvious, Serra? Would I even sign that s u p i d marriage contract if it wasn’t for him?”

Serra grinned like a Cheshire cat

“Ah, I really want to see you in love again. Oh, the things you could do…” she chuckled, teasing her sister.

After an hour, Serra then left her as she had something to take care of while Ciara did all of her work on that day until she remembered Callum’s text.

She was staring at it for a while while she was walking to the parking lot. When she slipped into her sports car, she called her mother right then.

“Hello, Ciara?” Her mother’s voice resonated with the car.

“Tell Cara I’ll come home late. I just needed to do something.” Ciara explained.

“Oh okay! She’s here with me in the living room. We are watching her favorite movie. Cara, your mother called and told me she’d come home late. What are you going to say to your mom?”

“Really? Is she dating Grandma?”

“Oh, silly kid!” Her mother laughed.

“Mommy is dating Auntie Serra told me about it. And I told Mommy it’s fine with me. She can date.”

“You heard your daughter. She’s fine with it,” Mrs. Sullivan said giddily.

Ciara wanted to clarify that it wasn’t even a date, but she didn’t want Cara to ask more.

“I’ll put you in a loudspeaker,” her mother said.

I’ll see you later, sweetheart. Do you want anything?”

No, Mommy! Just enjoy dating, okay?” she said in her hopeful little voice.

Her mother chuckled, saying that even Clara could not help but smile as well.

“Alright. I love you.”

*I love you, mommy!

She ended the call with a smile on her lips, as she was melting at how her daughter seemed to be invested in her dating too

Should I date this time? I am really fine without a man in my life. But if I meet someone who’s understanding, gentle, and would prioritize my daughter, 1 might consider dating

Her mind suddenly popped out of Callum pleasuring her on the bed, and her expression soured as she drove to the place where Callum told her they would meet.

What is he planning? That man has something up on his sleeve, and he needs to see that I am not interested in it.

As soon as she arrived at the five-star restaurant and was guided by the waiter to the table where she saw Callum in his corporate attire with his usual serious face when their eyes locked, he stood and even waited for her and pulled the chair for her.

But instead of occupying it, Ciara smirked and occupied Callum’s seat instead. Callum’s brow raised, and his cheek bubbled as he slowly occupied the segt he pulled for her and loosened his necktie, looking p**d. And even the waiter felt the tension between them; his smile was a bit sarcastic.

She placed her purse on the table and picked up the menu as she recited her order carefully while the waiter was nodding and taking notes.

Callum leaned against the chair; his eyes were intensely looking at Ciara, who was speaking calmly. He took off his coat and even his necktie as he opened some buttons as if he was suffocating now that Ciara was here. Ciara’s eyes even drifted at him for a while while he was speaking, checking his chest out, and looking at the waiter again.

As soon as the waiter left with her order, she placed the menu and looked at Callum.

“I am here to clarify that I am not interested in any of your offers.”

Callum arched his brow. Clara looked so confident and sure of his decision that he could sense she wouldn’t pull out of the company or work with him.

“Why? Because Sullivan’s company is the best of the best out there? You wanted to stay because… they could give you everything?”

Clara chuckled. “There is no competition between your company and Sullivan’s company, Callum. You weren’t even considered a threat.”

Callum looked at her, weighing her expression.

“It’s just probably your company competing against the Sullivan, but the Sullivan doesn’t care about you. No one has ever pulled them down. Coz you know why, they don’t view the enemies as a threat to business,”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“The Sullivan sounded so you,” Callum said.

Clara shrugged. “Whatever you are trying to brew, then stop it. I won’t turn my back on the home that sheltered and comforted me and replace it with something that abandoned me a long time ago.”

Callum’s eyes drifted to her lips as she uttered those things.

“Let me remind you that you were the one who filed the divorce.”

“And you signed it, didn’t you?” Ciara smiled. “That’s what you were waiting for, right? You were afraid I might pull my shares from your company. The reason you can’t file a divorce is that all you care about is that losing your business partner might affect your business. I’ve never been your wife, Callum

Callum’s jaw clenched. Ciara was uttering it calmly, but the way she fired those words screamed inner wrath, a hidden anger that was now showing to

the surface after being buried in the deepest part for so long.

Callum licked his lower lip and rested his elbows on the table, leaning closer while his brows were furrowed as he looked at her.

“You never wanted to be a wife in the first place, Ciara, You never wanted a relationship. You were never interested in things. You only care about yourself.”

Ciara smirked, it was those familiar words he accused her of using from the past. She rested her elbows on the side of the table as well, leaning closer until their faces leveled.

“Why? Did you become my husband? You wanted a wife, and yet you can’t even be a husband to her? Are you asking for free food to serve on your table without even paying for it in the first place?” She smiled tauntingly as her s**y voice trailed.

Callum looked at her with intensity, while Ciara wasn’t backing down as well. She looked so ready to fight.

“Oh, right. You can’t. You were in love with someone else.” She nodded.

“Don’t flip the real side.”

“Don’t flip? Oh, please, Callum. You’ve chosen her over your wife,” she cut him off authoritatively.

Callum looked guilty and offended. His confidence was slowly crumbling.

“I begged for you to choose me because I needed you the most at that time. I begged you to stay with me, but you chose her over me, business partner, right?” She asked mockingly, her brow arching and her

Callum’s jaw clenched consecutively. He looked so

and his face was darkening from the wrath that was slowly looming in his eyes.

“You’ve made me choose during the time when someone lost their child, Ciara? When was she accusing my wife of killing her child? If only you’d waited and given me more time to handle it, but instead, your solution was the divorce?”

“Oh, please, Callum. Stop feigning ignorance. I heard you and your friend talking, You admitted to him that you don’t want to file for divorce because you are afraid it might affect the business once I leave. And I gave you the favor you wanted. And what? You were now trying to tell me that you were siding with her because she lost a child? Then it just showed that you are willing to lose your wife over the other woman who craves your sympathy!”
