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

[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!]

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

Shantelle shake her head.
