The Billionaire’s Ex-wife

Chapter 8

The week rolled by pretty fast and Danté sent me gifts everyday of the week, on the first and second day I thought it was really cute but on the third day I became slightly annoyed and talked to him about it but the fourth day was the same and everyone knew about it, I became popular in the office and they teased me about having a secret admirer even Nikolai knew about it too.

"Who is the person that keeps sending you gifts everyday" he asked one day

"I don't know" I lied

"I know you do, it's very clear that this person won't stop until you give him an answer" I sighed

"Are you scared of something?"

"No"

"Then why won't you follow your heart?" He asked me

"I'm scared I'll make the same mistake"

"I know that you don't like to talk about yourself but if you keep being scared about what happened in your past relationship then you won't be able to move on"

"What if the person is from your past relationship?"

"For this person to send you gifts continuously everyday then it's very clear how sorry the person is. Men don't know how to wear their emotions on their sleeves but buying gifts is our own way of saying 'i'm sorry'. At the end of the day the decision of taking him back belongs to you"

After that talk with Nikolai, I made up my mind. I knew deep in my heart that Danté was sorry and I also wanted to give him another chance because I was still in love with him. I knew exactly what to do. I picked up my bag and keys, I entered my car and drove to his company. It has been a long time since I visited here but I was here again. After all it was my husband's company.

I entered and went straight to the elevator, I was going to his floor. I had been here once and so I knew his office. There was a woman at the back of the desk. I guess she was his secretary.

"Is Danté inside?" I asked her

"He's in a meeting. Do you have an appointment?" She asked

"Do I need an appointment to see my husband" she looked at me surprised. I didn't have her time, I just went into the direction of the meeting room.

"You can't go in there ma" she kept screaming but I paid no heed to her and I opened the door and all eyes turned to look at me. Danté was the last person to look and he looked surprise.

"I'm sorry sir, I told her she can't come in here"the girl said fear evident in her office

"It's fine Jesse, you can go. The meeting is over" he said and everyone left the boardroom leaving just the two of us.

"I'm surprised to see you here"

"I agree" it was clear in his expression that he didn't understand what I was saying

"I want to give our marriage another chance" I said smiling, he walked in long strides and smashed his lips on mine. I held his neck and deepened the kiss. He stopped kissing me.

"Do you mean that?" He asked again

"Yes Danté, I want us to work out too" he gave me a light kiss but he stopped and I frowned

"What about your meeting?"

"I was done already and just needed to round up before you came in but that's alright. Let's go"

"Go where"

"To my office"

"I still have work to do"

"So why did you come running here?"

"I couldn't wait to tell you this"

"Can I come and pick you after you are done working?"

"Yes"

"So I'll see you later"

"Later" I said dragging him by his collar and giving him one last kiss before walking out with a smile on my lips.

When I walked out of the office building, Danté was already waiting for me. He was leaning on his car and he had a wide smile on his face. I pulled him in for a kiss.

"Did you wait for long?"

"No, I just got here" he opened the door for me to enter before closing it and he entered the driver's seat before he zoomed off, he drove to his house. I was surprised, it wasn't the house I was expecting.

"You bought a new house?"

"Yes, I couldn't live there. It reminded me so much of you" my chest hurt, I didn't know how he felt when I left.

"I'm sorry I put you through that" I said kissing him

"It's fine, now that your here" he mumbled

"How about I make it up to you?" I said seductively, my hand moved until it reached his pants just above his c**k. I rubbed him through the fabric but he held my hand. I was disappointed.

"As much as your offer is tempting, we need to eat" and he just had to spoil the moment

"I want to eat you" I whispered in his ear. I know how desperate I sounded but I hadn't gotten laid in a long time and I was horny as f**k.

"Come let me make you dinner" I sighed

He removed his jacket and kept it on a chair, hee led me to the kitchen and he wore an apron, I was surprised because he never entered the kitchen not once since we were married.

"You cook?"

"Yes, I had to learn" I wrapped my arm around his waist and he turned back and gave me a quick peck on my temples.

"So what are you making?"

"Pasta" I watched him cook and it was so satisfying, I never knew watching someone cook could be a huge turn on for me. He looked hot in an apron that I had to lick my dry lips.

You need to get a grip on yourself Alessia

We made light conversations while he cooked only because he didn't want to burn the food because he said I was a distraction. The food was ready and he served me in a plate.

"Who knew the almighty Danté was this sweet" I said teasing him, "Serving a woman food? How would you look in front of your female lovers"

"I'm only this sweet with my wife"

"And how many people know about your wife?" I c****d an eyebrow

"No one, but that is going to change. I'll let the whole world know about my wife who left but is now back" he said sarcastically

"Speaking about that, I don't want the public knowing about me yet"

"They'll eventually find out"

"I know but for now let's keep it under the radar. I don't want to wake up with reporters at my door or women sending me threats especially your girlfriends" I spat the last part with venom

"I don't have any girlfriends"

"What about the ones I see you on magazines with? And the ones you attend different events with?"

"They are not of any importance, I just had to go with them because I had no one to accompany and some of them needed a boost to their career"

"So you didn't have anything to do with either of them?"

"Let's not spoil the mood"

I didn't ask any further because I didn't want to get hurt. So I just smiled and continued eating my food and we ate in silence. When we were done eating, I took the plates to wash them but was stopped by Danté.

"You cooked the food so it's only fair I wash them" I smiled at him. When I finished, he carried me on the counter.

"What did you say you wanted to eat again?" He asked with a smirk. I grinned and wrapped my legs tightly around him as we went to his bedroom.
