The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 26: The Playboy’s Backstory

[Sometimes, when things don’t work out the way you planned, something better is coming. It may be difficult to believe where you stand; often, redirection is a helpful intervention. This is a gift, and I know it. Love and kisses to my girl, Shanty! I’ll see you in a week.]

Shantelle smiled, reading Karise’s post on her profile. Soon, her other friends left

comments.

[I don’t care if I am broke. I’ll see my girl, too] Felice said.

Below, Felice, her other friend, Celest, remarked. [I am far more broke, but Karise will pay for my ticket. I love you @ Karise! See you soon, beautiful Shanty!]

Shantelle was leaning against the wall

outside the classroom of her last subject

of the day, going through her friend’s plans of flying out to Warlington.

She sucked in a breath, and after putting

her phone back inside her bag, she caressed her growing belly.

falling pregnant.

Shantelle walked out of the school,

confident. She knew she could overcome

her endeavors with her friends’ and

family’s support. One day, she will

surgeons.

One day.

Arriving outside the gates, she was

stunned to see Keith Henderson. She

looked around and realized the driver her

father had hired was nowhere to be seen.

“I told your father I would send you home. I am leaving Warlington and don’t know when I’ll be back. I thought I’d say goodbye,” he said. “Not forever, though.”

Then he gave that sexy smirk that made
