The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 60- Marking his territory

Tessa was seated in her office when someone knocked at the door, making her look up at it.

“Come in,” she called out.

Her eyes widened when a man she wasn’t expecting walked into the office.

“What can I do for you, Mr Kingsley?” She asked with furrowed eyebrows while giving him a questioning look.

“Aren’t you going to ask me to take a seat?” David Kingsley said with a smile on his face.

He had a large bouquet of red roses in his hands. He was in a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and black pants.

His dark chocolate skin was glowing as if he had bathed in milk and honey. There was no denying that he was a handsome man with a good body. Muscular in all the right places.

“Do I have to? You never made an appointment and yet, you showed up here. Unless you’re saying you’re here for business,” Tessa remarked as she secretly took her phone and texted

Aaron.

Tessa: [David Kingsley is here. And he brought me flowers.]

She placed the phone back on the desk and frowned when David went ahead to take a seat

across from her.

“It’s because I didn’t come for business. I came to apologise for what happened the other week. However, if I need to do business with you to get an audience with you then I’m more than willing to do so,” David presented with a side smirk on his lips.

“What are you apologising for, Mr Kingsley? I thought everything was resolved last week.”

Tessa was confused. Firstly, it was strange that David suddenly showed up at her office when they had never even interacted before.

After the stabbing incident, Nora was locked up and a few days later, she was tried in court. Since they had overwhelming evidence against her, it didn’t take long for the judge to pass a sentence. The judge commented on the seriousness of the matter and how Nora was a walking

time bomb.

She was sentenced to life imprisonment for attempted murder. This is because she displayed some violent behaviour and tried to attack Tessa again while in court. She was deemed a dangerous person who should stay behind bars.
