My Boss Is My Ex-Husband (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 12

Althea POV

"WHAT!? So it's true?!" I almost shouted as I asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Zaldiva—"

"Scoth!" I interrupted him. I saw how he froze before clearing his throat.

"Yes, Ms. Scoth."

"And you didn't even try to notify me!"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Scoth. I thought you already knew—"

"Damn!" Frustrated, I slammed my palms on the table, startling Attorney Reyes. The noise drew the attention of other customers in the café.

"Ehh! How was I supposed to know!? You are the one who works for this!"

"I'm sorry, Ms—"

"Sorry!? Save your apologies!"

I rubbed my temples as a headache began to form. I respected Attorney Reyes, but I was losing my patience.

"No, Althea...! You're mine, and you are my wife."

I smirked. "And who would believe you? We've been annulled for a long time!"

"Why? Who arranged the annulment? No one bothered to tell me."

"Stop beating around the bush, Blake. Just get to the point."

"You are my wife and my only wife. No one annulled it. So you're still mine, Mrs. Zaldivar."

I immediately ran to call Attorney Reyes to discuss this. It was true... I was still married to Blake. Ugh! Why didn't I think about this while I was in Paris regarding our annulment? I was confused there, wondering why no one informed me about it, as there was no annulment done. Ugh! Damn this!

"Please, Attorney, do everything you can about this," I begged him. I didn't want to go back to that bastard. I was happy now... happy with who I am. I walked into the house, still lost in thought about what I had just learned. I let out a deep sigh. What will I do now?

"Honey!"

I snapped back to reality at the sound of Kayzer's cheerful voice. He was one of my problems. How was I going to tell him about this?

"I thought you wouldn't be home until 6..."

I didn't let him finish; I just hugged him tightly. I wanted to feel what he meant to me. I wanted to know how my heart would react.

But my heart didn't react at all; it stayed calm.

"Why?" He held my chin and looked into my eyes.

Ba dumb... Ba dumb... Ba dumb. My heart started to race. Looking into his eyes made my heart melt.

"Did your boss abuse you?"

I shook my head without breaking eye contact.

"Is there a problem?"

I shook my head again.

"Fuck! Althea, your silence is torturing me! Spill it out!"

I wanted to tell him everything, but I couldn't. I wanted to shout my problems to him, but my mouth wouldn't cooperate. Instead, I hugged him tightly... I wanted to cry, but my tears wouldn't come.

"Ka... Kayzer..."

I kissed him. I was afraid he would get angry when I told him the truth. I didn't want to disappoint him. As long as I could hide the truth about my marriage to Blake, I would. Kayzer and Blaze were my everything right now, and I didn't want anyone to ruin that. I would do everything to annul my marriage with Blake. I promise.
