His Ex-wife Is An Heiress (Amara and Tobias) novel Chapter 21

“You enjoying the event?”

Amara’s fork froze midair, and she turned, her eyes falling upon none other than Helios Edgar, Tobias’s closest acquaintance till date.

“Hello, Amara.” He greeted her and offered her a warm smile.

Amara returned his smile, although it was more forced than sincere. “It’s nice seeing you here, Helios. And yes, I’m enjoying the event.”

“That’s great.” He took a seat beside her and Amara visibly looked disturbed by his presence. “May I sit?” He asked upon noticing her expression.

“You’ve already done so. So please, make yourself comfortable.” Saying this, she turned her attention away, looking everywhere but the blonde male sited beside her because in all honesty, she had no intention of having a conversation with Helios.

“Thank you.” He said and reached out to fill his cup, then hers, but she was quick to stop him.

“I think I’ve had enough for the night. Thank you.” She said politely, although she was screaming inwardly, wanting to get rid of the man.

“Alright, if you insist.” He pulled his hand away and settled it back down on the table. “So, Amara, what have you been doing since the divorce?”

“I don’t think that’s any of your business.” She said, not bothering to hide the hostility in her tone.

Helios, however, didn’t seem affected by her rudeness, nor the tone she was using. Instead, he merely chuckled and took a sip from his drink. “Ever the secretive one. I liked that about you. As a matter of fact,” He paused, staring into her blue eyes with his own brown ones. “I like everything about you,” Another pause. This time around, he seemed to think over something before continuing. “Amara, what would you say if I told you that I have feelings for you. Always have. Huh?” He confessed.

Solid ten seconds went by before Amara laughed.

“Sorry, but I’m not interested.” She bluntly declined his advances, her gaze not once breaking away from his.
