My Billionaire Wife

ABRAR’S POV

My heart skipped a beat as soon as I stepped into his Kaiser’s office. I was not expecting her to be sitting there staring at me with her doe-like eyes. We had not seen each other for a very long time. It felt unreal.

“Abrar, long time” she greeted with a smile on her face but I could not seem to reciprocate it.

She still looked beautiful and elegant but I still did not have any idea what she was doing here. Memories about the past that I had tried to keep locked away came rushing in both the happy and unpleasant memories. It was a lot but I knew I had to mask my emotions and be as professional as possible.

“Yeah, long time. What brings you here?” I was confused.

“Well, it seems like you guys know each other, it seems you are quite the lady’s man Abrar ” Kaiser said with a hint of disapproval in his tone. “Well Nikhat is a new employee and you will be working closely with her for the new upcoming project so well I think it a good thing you guys are already acquaintances,” he said with a forced smile.

“I think this project will definitely work out well,” Nikhat said with a beaming smile ” Don’t you think so Abrar?” she asked.

I was still finding it hard to respond to her questions as my brain was still quite processing that Nikhat was sitting right in front of me.

” I am sure” I finally replied after a short moment of silence.

She stood up from the chair and extended her palm for a handshake. She looked so different which was quite shocking, her aura felt different and her styling was also different.

I grabbed her palm responding to her handshake. “It is nice seeing you once again Abrar,” she said. “Likewise” I replied.

“So make sure to put her through all the development plans, Nikhat is a pro at what she does so listen to her advice,” Kaiser said with a stern expression.

“Yes sir” I replied.

We walked out of Kaiser’s office with her beside me. “How have you been Abrar?” She asked.

“I have been good, and you?” I asked as I walked her over to her office desk.

I knew we were expecting someone new today to work on the project but I had no idea it was going to be my ex, well things just got interesting.

We walked past the lunch room and I saw Zoya having a very intense conversation with someone. The person looked unfamiliar. I had never seen him before.

“So when did you start working here?” She asked.

“Not too long” I responded as we arrived at her desk. ” So here it is, I will bring some of the documents to you so that I can review them on your first day so there is no need to stress.” I said awkwardly “If that’s all, I will be at my desk if you need anything else”

She suddenly grabbed my arm, her eyes boring into mine. “Is there any issue?” I was confused by her sudden action.

“I know there are a lot of things to be said, well the last time we saw each other it was not on a very good note, so I don’t know if you would like to have dinner with me?” She asked.

I was speechless, I had no idea how I was suppose to respond to her request and just when I needed laid he intervened.

“Hey, Abrar, we need to continue our conversation,” he said, tapping me on my back. He seemed not to have noticed Nikhat.

“Hey Kaif” she greeted him. His eyes immediately snapped up as he stared at her in disbelief; he could not believe she was standing right in front.

” Nikhat,” he said, his voice laced with surprise. “It has been quite some time, how have you been?” He asked politely.

“Good, it seems like you also work here. I am new here. It is nice to see some familiar faces in a new place,” she said, smiling broadly.

“Yeah it’s pretty nice,” he replied but I could hear a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

I left them to Their pleasantries as I was finding it pretty uncomfortable laughing and smiling with my ex. It’s not like we ended on a good note.

It was a bad breakup, one that caused a lot of hurt and pain on my side and I did not want to re-hatch those memories.

I stared at the contract paper which laid on my desk and I could not help but grab my hair in frustration.

My life had really taken a drastic turn. It was just like everything was happening all at once. I can’t wait for today to be over.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I looked over at Zoya’s office and noticed she was not there. “I wonder where she went to” I murmured to myself before attending to my task.

It was closing hour, today felt like it was just dragging on. It felt too long and I just needed to rest my head and have a good night’s sleep. A lot has happened today and I don’t want to think about anything anymore. It would only make me stress further.

“Ready to go man?” Kaif asked stopping beside my desk his bag slung over his shoulders.

I quickly put off my computer and packed up my desk. I looked over to where Nikhat was to see she was focused on some folders.

I walked past Zoya’s office but she was not still there maybe she had an outdoor netting or something came up or she was back home.

“How is it like?” Kaif suddenly asked.

“What like?” I asked, confused.

” To see your ex again?” he said.

“Well it’s just something that I don’t want to talk or think about right now” I responded.

“Did you notice she was not putting on any ring?” He asked.

“No” I replied, but that was a lie the first thing I noticed immediately after seeing her was her empty fingers. I still have flashbacks from the moment I found out about her engagement.

“Well she was not wearing a ring, maybe she is divorced” he continued yapping.

“I don’t care and so should you, she is a colleague now and should be treated like one and nothing else” I snapped.

“Is it because of Zoya? Are you really going to sign that contract?” He queried as he stared at me in disbelief. ” Or do you like her?”

“Today had been a long day can’t I just catch a break please,” I said feeling frustrated.

“Fine but just know I am not in support of the relationship you have with Zoya and as your friend I will tell you to end It as soon as possible,” he said, angrily walking away leaving me alone in the street.

With a deep breath, I made my way to the bus stop and got into a bus hoping I could just teleport home.

I was home but Zoya was not yet back. I wondered where she had been all day. I freshened up and quickly made a light dinner for myself but she was not still back it was a few minutes past nine, it was dark outside now, and I was starting to get a little worried and was so tempted to call her when she suddenly barged into the house.

She was drunk, that was the first thing I discovered from the smell of alcohol that oozed from her.

“Oh you are back,” she said with a giggle as she staggered into the house.

“What happened to you? Why are you drunk?” I asked. She was absent from work almost half of the day only to come back this late drunk.

“I saw her?” She suddenly said. “Who did you see? You are talking in gibberish and it is annoying. This is my house have some respect and not pop up drunk to my house that is not allowed” I snapped at her.

“I am not a child” she snapped back. “But you are behaving just like one” I retorted.

“Your ex, the girl in the picture, I saw her at the office” she suddenly said, standing up straight and looking straight into my eyes.

“You must be overjoyed,” she said laughing hysterically.

“And what have you that impression that I would be happy?” I asked.

“Because you can’t move on from her. Have you signed the contract?” She suddenly asked her words catching me off guard.

“You can’t. First, you propose marriage, and now that I have agreed to your terms even adding some nice benefit you still won’t sign it. You can’t make up your mind because she is back” she said.

“It is nothing like that and you need to freshen up your reek of alcohol,” I said trying to get her to the bathroom when suddenly she did the most unexpected thing ever.

She kissed me. Zoya kissed me on the lips.
