Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 107

Christiana’s POV.

As soon as Daniel left, the room felt strangely quiet. Too quiet. I stood there, my arms wrapped around myself, staring at the door Alex had walked out of moments ago. I hated him. I had every reason to. I had seen hell because of him and yet…there was something tugging at me.

The way he looked at me when he saw Daniel holding me…it was like his whole world had collapsed. That haunted look in his eyes, the pain deep in his face, made me feel unsettled.

I shook my head, trying to push the thought away. He deserves it. He deserves to suffer after everything he’s done. But no matter how hard I tried to convince myself, I couldn’t shake the discomfort growing in my chest.

Alex had always been so full of himself, so arrogant, so damn confident. And now…he looked like a ghost. Not a word came out of his mouth when I asked him why he was here. Not even a snarky comeback or a bitter retort to Daniel. Nothing. Just silence. His eyes had said everything, though. It was the kind of pain that cut deeper than any insult. And for some reason, it bothered me.

I ran a hand through my hair, still damp from the tears I had shed earlier in Daniel’s arms. He had been so sweet, so comforting but the moment Alex entered the room, the atmosphere shifted. I had seen the hurt in Alex’s eyes when he saw us together. And I knew…I knew…that it stung him.

But why did it matter?

Istarted pacing the room, my heels clicking against the marble floor, my thoughts racing. “Christiana,” I whispered to myself, “you owe him nothing. Nothing.”

I stopped and exhaled slowly, but my mind was still spinning. The way he stood there, silent and defeated… it didn’t make sense. Alex always had something to say. He always had a way of making things upsetting or would have tried to curse at Daniel. But today? He couldn’t even find the words.

And that…troubled me.

I remembered the way he had looked at me, like he was broken. Like he had already lost. Was he really hurting?

I clenched my fists, hating myself for even caring. He had done this to us. He had destroyed everything, hurt me, abandoned me when I needed him the most. So why do I feel this way now? I shouldn’t feel anything for him. Not anymore. But I did. I hated that I did.

I sighed, rubbing my temples. “Damn it, Alex.” My voice cracked slightly, and I realized how torn I was. I despised him, but there was this nagging feeling, this unsettling emotion that wouldn’t leave me alone.

Was it pity? Guilt? Something else? I didn’t know. I didn’t want to know.

I sank into the chair behind my desk, my legs suddenly feeling too weak to hold me up. I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table, and buried my face in my hands. Why does this have to be so complicated?

There was a knock on the door, and I jerked my head up, half–expecting it to be Alex coming back. But it was just my assistant, Grace, peeking her head in to ask if I needed anything. I waved her off, not in the mood to talk to anyone.

After she left, I sat back in the chair, staring at the ceiling. I couldn’t get Alex’s face out of my head. The way his shoulders had slumped, the way he walked out of here like a man with no fight left in him.

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block it out, but his image was seared into my mind.
