Chased by my Ex Husband novel Chapter 62

Tristin

She looks at peace when she is asleep. I stare up at her face, filling my heart with the sight of her.

I didn’t realize that I was that into her until she left and I had to spend all this time without meeting her or hearing her voice.

My hand reaches for her cheek, caressing her skin. She shudders in her sleep, shifting her head on the headrest.

My phone vibrates in my pocket, grabbing my attention. Sighing, I sit and pick up Luca’s call.

It felt good to place my head in her lap and pretend that the world is not on fire but I must go back to that nightmare now.

“ Boss, you were right. That girl didn’t approach Ms. Whitlock by chance. ” Luca reveals.

He’s been investigating this new girl who has appeared by Grace’s side, pretending to be her soulmate, best friend. Grace is too innocent to understand that nothing of that sort exists in this world.

“ It was him? ” I rise from the couch and walk towards the glass wall in her apartment.

The rain has stopped but the temperature has dropped. Worry crosses my mind when I recall that she didn’t change her clothes.

“ Yes, Boss. It was Mr. Calder. He was smart enough to not directly engage with Celine but this man named Noah has contacted that girl recently. He works for Mr. Calder now…as his assistant. ”

I shoot Grace a look over my shoulder and sigh. That fucker tricked her again and made her believe that he left her alone, but he is a leech. He won’t let her rest until he has where he wants her.

“ What’s the order, Boss? Do I make her disappear? ” Luca asks.

I open my mouth, ready to tell him to go ahead but no words come out of my mouth. Turning around, I fix my gaze on Grace’s lolling head, and pouting lips.

She finally found someone she could call a friend…

How hurt will she feel if she knows that it was all a scheme and none of it was real with her so-called friend?

“ Don’t do anything to her. ” I run my fingers through my hair, uttering the words with an edge to my voice. “ Just keep an eye on her. If she disappears, Grace will be worried and will think something happened to her because of her. ”

“ Yes, Boss. ” Luca replies right away.

First, I will have to tell Grace about Celine and then she can decide what she wants to do with her. I don’t want to steal that right away from her. I want to do things right now.

“ There is something else… ” Luca sighs.

“ The apartments that were bought consecutively. ” I nod to myself. “ He did it too. ”

“ Yes, Boss. We have two men stationed in Ms. Whitlock’s apartment building but…Mr. Calder has bought half the building to accommodate his people. ” Luca sounds angry as if he finds it as infuriating as I do.

I tap the back of my phone with my forefinger as my eyes narrow. “ Make them all disappear. Not all at once but slowly. ”

“ Yes, Boss. They will be gone by the next month. ” Luca replies.

“ Good. And one more thing… ” I take my eyes off Grace and look down at my bare feet. “ Make the arrangements. I am returning home in an hour. ”

Luca goes silent. He must have expected me to stay here for a few days, but I can not afford that.

I need to see Ania and Mom, to tell them that everything will be fine.
