Dear Ex-Wife Please Be Mine Again (Christina and Alex) novel Chapter 40

Alexander POV.

The door opened again, and for a split second, I thought Bianca had come back for round two. But it was just James, my P.A., standing there with a concerned expression. “Is everything okay, sir?” he asked cautiously, clearly having heard the tail end of the argument.

“Yeah,” I said, leaning back with a tired sigh. “It’s better than it’s been in a long time.” I gave him a small, reassuring smile, but James didn’t look entirely convinced. He closed the door gently behind him and approached with a sense of caution, as if one wrong word might set off another explosion.

“Bianca seemed… upset,” he noted, his voice was laced with hesitation.

I let out a dry laugh. “That’s an understatement. But she’s finally out of my life—for good this time.”

James’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. “For good?”

I nodded firmly. “It’s done. I made it clear there’s nothing left between us. She can’t keep trying to force her way back in.”

James let out a slow breath, looking like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders too. He’d seen enough of the chaos Bianca brought into my life. “That’s good, sir. I think it’s for the best.”

“Yeah,” I agreed, though there was still a lingering ache in my chest. “It is. I just… I need to move forward. And that starts with cutting out the things that were holding me back.”

James nodded in understanding, but I could see the curiosity in his eyes. He was too professional to pry directly, but I could tell he was wondering what—or who—had triggered this decision.

“Anything else you need from me, sir?” he asked, shifting topics.

I shook my head, leaning forward to rest my elbows on my knees. “No, just give me a bit of time to clear my head. I need to figure out my next steps.”
