His Regret: The Woman He couldn't Break
“Is trusting you a sin?” Hannah asked.
“It wouldn't have been a sin if you were nothing but sand under my feet. You’ve always had it all—the grades, the charm, the spotlight. Teachers adored you. Boys wanted you. Even James, the only one I ever looked at like that, fell for you despite your boring look.”
Her best friend’s laugh was dry. Cruel.
Hannah’s heart squeezed, her breath catching in her throat.
“You think you’ve won?” she said, voice shaking. “Because you slept with my husband and fed him lies?”
“I don’t think, Hannah. I won.”
“You didn’t win. You settled. You crawled into my leftovers and tried to wear my skin like it would turn you into something better—but it didn’t.”
---
On her first wedding anniversary, Hannah Reyes was drugged—by her husband and her best friend.
The betrayal shattered her world, and cost her the one thing she was holding onto: her unborn child.
The next day, still lying in a hospital bed, her husband handed her divorce papers... then ordered her thrown out.
Lost, bleeding, and alone, she was hit by a car.
But fate wasn’t done with her yet.
The driver? Matthew DeLacruz—her husband’s former friend, now bitter enemy, and a man he once scammed.
And Matthew made her an offer she couldn’t ignore:
"Be my vice president, and I’ll help you destroy him."
What began as revenge turned into something else, something thrilling, empowering, and dangerously beautiful.
And just when she thought she had nothing left to lose, Matthew made her a different offer:
Marriage.
Now Hannah must ask herself:
Can she truly trust again?
Or will this new beginning become just another ending?

Chapter: Chapter 10Hannah’s heart pounded against her ribs. Her knees threatened to give way she wanted to drop, to beg, to cry.But Matthew didn’t let her. He caught her before she fell and gently lowered her onto the nearest chair, placing her down like she might shatter.He let out a long, frustrated breath, his gaze fixed on the woman before him bold some hours ago, now crumbling in his presence.“I’m sorry,” she whispered, her voice shaking. “I shouldn’t have slapped you. Please… let me go. I have somewhere to stay. My parents' house is still there..”Matthew’s chest tightened. She’s still thinking about the slap?Her sudden submission, the terror in her eyes, the way her words tumbled out it annoyed and disarmed him.He didn’t know whether to comfort her or command her to be quiet. The guilt and disbelief tangled inside him like wires. He thought if she had seen him as Matthew Delacruz in the first place, she wouldn't have cowered like this.He clenched his fists at his sides.Shouting would only

Chapter: Chapter 9Hannah stirred.Her eyelashes fluttered before her eyes blinked open slowly, hazy. The ceiling above her came into focus: white. She stretched. No pain. She felt alive.Slowly, her gaze drifted sideways and there he was. Matthew. Matthew sat in a chair by her bedside, his legs crossed, his expression stoic as if he was lost in thought. He wore a dark shirt, sleeves rolled up, there was a tattoo drawn on his arm and he looked… exhausted. His expression shifted the moment their eyes locked. Hannah quickly looked away.She blinked again, adjusting to the light.“You came back…” Her voice was a dry whisper, hoarse from disuse.“I didn’t even know when I dozed off.” she said.Matthew’s lips curved into a lazy smirk, his voice low and smooth.“Dozed off? You’ve been asleep for three days.”Her brows lifted in disbelief. A flush crept up her cheeks. Three days? And she had the nerve to call it dozing off?The only thing she could remember was the commotion of the nurses after he left. She

Chapter: Chapter 8Lyrah Tried to rekindle the old flames between her and James that night, and they had intimacy. Since then, it had been consistent that James never wanted to see Hannah again, but because of the scandal that leaving her would cause, he managed to keep her and tortured her.End of Flashback.James drove recklessly into the compound, slammed the car door, and made his way toward the house. Just as he reached for the handle, he froze. He remembered how messy everything was the sight of blood still vivid in his mind. Spinning around, he barked toward the gate.“Jarus! Is the house cleaned?” His voice was sharp, the anger barely contained.“No, sir,” the gateman stammered. “I didn’t have money to call the cleaning service.”James’s eyes narrowed. “Are you stupid or just plain daft? You should’ve sent the bill to me!”“But, sir… Madam always handled the home expenses. You never responded to the ones I sent before — for the garden, even,” Jarus mumbled, but it wasn’t low enough to escape Ja

Chapter: Chapter 7After revenge... what next?James should have felt on top of the world, triumphant in his victory. But none of that came.Instead, Hannah’s words echoed in his mind, making his heart waver. Regret and fear gnawed at him as bitterness coiled in his chest."Could she have been telling the truth?""No—no. It wasn’t Lyra who exposed her. I saw the proof myself on her phone. She can’t manipulate me. Not when all the evidence pointed to her."His hands tightened around the steering wheel as his mind drifted—flashing back to their wedding day.## FLASHBACK ##The celebration was winding down when James’s parents made an unexpected announcement—they were heading to South Ohio that very night.James offered to drive them to the airport. He handed Hannah the key to their suite and told her to wait for him there.As he got to the airport, he helped his parents to check every necessary detail required for their boarding; this took him more time than he had expected.But the moment they cleared se

Chapter: Chapter 6Hannah’s eyes followed the man as he walked out of the room; the sudden shift in his demeanour had shaken her. He had been cold, commanding, and completely in control.If she didn’t already know Matthew Delacruz from pictures, she might have believed it was truly him.But the way the doctor bowed his head like an obedient dog made her question her instincts.Still, she frowned.Why would a man be so obsessed with someone else’s life — enough to live under their identity?It didn’t add up. She was certain Matthew didn’t even live in Ohio. That fact alone solidified her belief: this man was an impostor.“Maybe he bribed the doctor to act submissive,” she thought, turning her face to the wall. “But why? What does he gain from pretending to be Matthew Delacruz? I’m not even important.”Hannah couldn’t understand it. Why would anyone go to such lengths — for her?She didn’t see herself as someone worth deceiving or impressing. Not enough to impersonate a man like Matthew Delacruz.The door

Chapter: Chapter 5Hannah’s eyes widened. Disbelief clutched her chest as she stared at the man before her, a stranger, really. He barely knew anything about her. Just the surface. Just the broken edges she'd let slip.And yet… he was ready to stand in for her.Why?She clenched her fists at her sides. No. She wouldn’t drag anyone else into her mess. Especially not someone she didn't know.Her gaze flicked to his wristwatch: sleek, heavy, expensive. She thought the man had power, clearly. Maybe he had connections. Getting her a job and accommodations wouldn't be difficult for him; that would be enough. “If you want to help, just get me a shelter and a job,” she said quietly, almost testing him.Without blinking, he said, “Shelter done. As for the job, you won’t need it.”She frowned, Why?”A slow smirk crept across his face. “Because I create jobs.”A sneer escaped Hannah's lips, causing the pain she was feeling to intensify.She wanted to talk to the man she considered a clown before her, but the word

Chapter: Chapter 185Lachlan's POVI couldn't handle Amelia rejecting me again. The moment I went home, I went straight to my bedroom and began to pack my bags. Maybe, space was what she needed from me. I was done packing and kept my box at the side. In the morning, I would leave for Japan. I had already informed my pilot. The jet was ready and so was everyone. After that, I sat in the bar in the living room, drinking some water. I didn't have the stomach for any more alcohol. I finished and kept down the glass. Almost immediately, I heard the sound of a driving vehicle. I wasn't expecting any guests and the guards knew better than to let anyone into the compound without informing me. I rose to my feet and waited. Just who was here?A soft knock in the door tore through the air and I froze.Was it mom? Nina? Dad?I made a beeline for the door and held it open. Standing before me was the person I expected to show up at my doorstep — Amelia. “Amelia, what are you—”Without a word, she pressed her lips

Chapter: Chapter 184Amelia's POVI scrolled through my phone, wondering if I should call Lachlan.A part of me wanted to, while the other half told me it was a terrible idea.I sat up on the couch and chewed on my lip. It was late, and here I was, thinking about someone who was probably not thinking about me. I had rejected him most horribly. I'm pretty sure he hates me, and I'm pretty sure he's out drinking and laughing and living while I sit here, questioning every decision I have ever made.I searched for Lachlan in my message app, and I stared at the screen. “Do I apologize for what I did, or should I do it in person?”My finger hovered over the keyboard, and I typed. “I'm sorry.”Then I went to the emoji icon, looking for a sad emoji. I settled for the faceless emoji, but instead of sending it, I sent a kiss emoji.Just like that, I sent it. “No, no, no, no!”Before I could delete it, he had already read it. My phone dropped to my lap and I nearly screamed.Lachlan's POVI arrived with a dry look

Chapter: Chapter 183Lachlan's POVThe next day, I decided to pretend nothing unusual happened in New York. But every time an employee asked how my vacation was, my mind drifted back to Amelia's rejection, and when that happened, I thought about her.I couldn't focus during meetings. I zoned out on more than one occasion, imagining endless possibilities of Amelia accepting me. One time I imagined I had never treated Amelia horribly in the past and that we were very happy. But rewinding time was impossible.“Sir… Sir!” Clara said it aloud.I blinked twice and looked at her and the sea of confused faces in the conference room.Shit. I zoned out. It was clear from the looks on their faces that they were worried about me. One more second in this room and they'll drown me in questions.I cleared my throat and reached for my phone on the table. The time was a few minutes past 4.“The meeting is adjourned to next Friday.” I pushed back my seat and walked out of the room. I took the elevator to the parking lot

Chapter: Chapter 182Lachlan's POVThe work came crashing down around me. The kiss… The “Yes”... The happily ever after… Everything was a fantasy… A cruel trick the mind played on me.She turned to leave, but I couldn't call out to her or beg her to stay. I couldn't even move or speak. The ring was still clutched in my hand, and my heart was bleeding deep inside.I looked behind me as she walked away, not even stopping to even stare at me. I wanted to scream for her to stay with me, but she didn't.I rose to my feet and pocketed the ring, feeling absolutely dejected and somewhat dead on the inside.I followed the path she took, walking slowly behind her. “Amelia…”She didn't answer.“Amelia, please…” I whispered again, but she didn't stop.I couldn't let her go home like this. I ran up to catch up with her and caught her wrist. “Amelia!” I believe I raised my voice because almost everyone was staring at us.She passed, but she didn't look at me, but I could feel her hand tremble in mine.God, what the h

Chapter: Chapter 181Lachlan's POVI ordered room service, and we ate breakfast in silence.As we ate, I couldn't stop myself from staring at Amelia. She looked twice as beautiful as she was before.She finally broke the silence. “Umm… You're looking the wrong way, Lachlan. The food is on the plate.”“Well, that's not the food I see.” I flashed her a grin, and her cheeks turned red. She gave a nervous laugh. “Wow. So funny.”When I saw that she was embarrassed to leave, I pushed back my chair. “Maybe we could go home today!” Amelia announced aloud, forcing me to resume my seat.“You want to go home?” I asked, sitting down. “Yeah…” She looked everywhere except my face. “We… we could just go home, you know…Uh… unwind… Forget about everything for a while.” “My face is up here, darling.” I told her.Amelia lifted her eyes to meet mine, and I smiled. “I thought of that too.”“You did?” She asked in surprise, and now I had the irresistible urge to kiss her.“Y—yeah.” I fisted my left hand, restraining mysel

Chapter: Chapter 181Amelia's POVThe smell of food interrupted the dream I was having, and I stirred awake.I rubbed my eyes and sat up only to see Lachlan walking towards the bed with a tray of food. My heart skipped a beat. “Lachlan?”“Morning, beautiful.” He set down the tray next to me and plopped down on the bed next to me. I noticed a white flower and note ona the tray. The family sight made my heart flutter. Ife just like before. He still hasn't forgotten. “You did all this for me?”“Yeah. Do you like it?” Lachlan asked, tucking a stray hair behind my ears.“Like it?” It had been so long since he'd done something like this. I was surprised and happy all at once. I smiled and blushed. “I love it.”I picked up the note and read it. Warmth rushed through me, and my cheeks were flushed with heat. I had missed this too, a,nd I'm sure he had too.I, had even forgotten last night's little “argument.”“Thank you, Lachlan.” I beamed him a smile, and he palmed the back of his neck.His cheeks were red, a

Chapter: Chapter 4 FREYA Today marked one month, three days, five hours, and twenty minutes since I had been welcomed into my pack. My wedding with the soon-to-be Alpha was still on hold as I needed time to catch up with a lot of things. I needed to know my people more deeply, and thankfully my aunt was so supportive and assured me it was fine. Lately, I had taken to having abnormal morning sickness and could hardly hold my food down. It has become worse, and today I was going to see the pack doctor. A knock on my door distracted me from my thoughts as I whispered for whoever was knocking to come in. “I brought you a special herbal tea. Still feeling nauseous?” My maid Sally asked me as she served me the herbal tea. Sally was a beautiful and kind lady. I didn’t really see her as a maid but more as a friend. She had been taken into the packhouse ever since she was little, and I could relate very well to that. When I heard her story, I immediately made her my personal maid and made sure to cut off a

Chapter: Chapter 3FREYA “WAKE UP…” A voice said to me. “Wake up.” The voice repeated, firmer this time, and I roused from my slumber. I realized that it was my wolf. Ever since our mate rejected us, she had gone completely silent, and it pained me and made me feel more alone. I didn’t know how to communicate with her as she shut me out, all because of the twins. Was this how the moon goddess had planned my life? To be full of misfortune? I had lost my virginity to my mate only to be rejected and banished the next morning. Everything didn’t make sense and at the same time made enough sense. I sat up, feeling a dazzling headache. I reached up and touched my head. I felt a jolting pain as my hand brushed a huge bump on my forehead. I sighed and managed to go to a cheap motel for the night. “We don't accept your kind here,” the woman behind the counter said as soon as I walked in. I didn't blame her. I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror, and I wouldn't accept someone like me either. “Please,

Chapter: Chapter 2 FREYA I stared at the two men in my room like they had both gone mad. What did they mean by saying mate? Just then I felt my wolf spring up from inside me. Her fur was white and beautiful as she stood. Somehow I could see her and feel her; tears began to gather in my eyes. “Finally, I found my wolf,” I said, staring at her. Her voice jolted me out of emotion. “Mate!” she exclaimed, wiggling her tail at the twins' alpha. I nearly forget that they are inside my room. “W… what?” I stuttered. "How could this be possible?” I muttered under my breath, the excitement I had been feeling replaced with fear, and my body began trembling. Why would the moon goddess pair me with these evils, not even one, but two? “No, it can't be,” I said and moved backwards. “Our mates are handsome,” my wolf said, but I ignored her, trying my best to block her away. “They aren't; they are wicked,” I responded to her to understand what I had been through under them. Having them as mates would be another

Chapter: Chapter 1 FREYA.The cold splash of liquid on my skin jolted me up from sleep, pushing me to wake up immediately. My eyes were met with the head maiden's furious glare. Tightening her fists to the empty bucket, she yelled at me. “What the hell are you doing lazing around? Get the hell up, you lowly maid!”Immediately, I stood up; my wet body shivered coldly. Forcing myself, I got up, hugging my body with my hands. Sometimes, I wondered why I had not become immune to the maltreatment by now. It was a regular thing for me, just because I was an orphan. Years ago, the Alpha had been kind enough to take me in since my parents had died. However, them taking me in didn’t mean I got to be treated special; in fact, I was treated way worse than the maids here. I was a slave.I grudgingly stood up with my wet clothes as I got out of bed to look for a dried cloth, but all were the ripped dried ones. My clothes were torn. No matter how hard I worked in the park house, I wasn’t given an allowance to take ca

CLAIMED BY MY EX-HUSBAND UNCLE
Sometimes, God makes you find out about your husband’s dirty secrets, just so you can divorce him and move on with a better person.
Perhaps, his uncle.
Robert and I have been married for over two years and he’s never touched me due to being diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, a truth I never discovered until our honeymoon and I learnt to live with that, blinded by love for the man who made my heart flutter.
Well, that changes when I walk in on him slamming deep into his secretary who’s on all fours in our room.
Feeling betrayed, I divorced him and lost everything I worked hard for, to his deceitful hand.
Then I met him. Anderson Waters, the man who’d help me get revenge on his rebellious nephew in exchange for one thing:
“Of course, Robert’s a fuckwad. Everyone wants to repay him in his own coin.” Anderson chuckled lightly. “I can you do that for you if you sign this paper. Three years as my wife with respected boundaries, give it a thought till sundown. I’ll be back for an answer.”

Chapter: Chapter 76BEATRICE POVI had kept my distance from Robert. I had made the mistake of confronting him; I would have just let him do what he likes.After all, I won't be here forever to be his sex slave. I ignored everything that he did and tried to stay in my lane."Fuck me!!" Even with that, I still felt a thing for him, and I wanted him so bad.The early morning furiousness was out of pain, anger, and hatred for no reason. Being confronted when Eleanor went missing was the height of it.I mean, I'm happy that she is nowhere to be found, but I have no hand in whatever happened. I didn't even know of it until he got to say it."At least he won't have to stay out late because he wants to meet up with something IMPORTANT." I hated to admit he referred to her as important.That rag.I felt terrified when Robert got into that room. I expected him to do everything but not kiss me; I didn't even think he was going to think of doing anything sexual. Not after the last time when he got drunk and he trie

Chapter: Chapter 85ROBERT'S POV"Why did you keep the car key?" Beatrice was screaming at the top of her voice.Oh no! I rolled out of the bed and got downstairs."What is going on here?" I asked the maid that stood there shivering in fear."She needs the car key, and I told her you left with it to your room. She said, I'm lying." The maid narrated."Shut up, you fool." Beatrice slapped her on the cheeks."That's enough!" I shouted with anger boiling inside of me."Where is my key? I am fucking late for work." "If she told you that I was with the key, what is the best thing you would have done?" I got to her."I'm not here for lectures; where is the goddamn key?" She yelled."I kept my key here, and now I can't find it, only to hear that you are with the key? How is that even possible when I dropped it on the table?" She shrugged off and walked to my room to get the key."Get back to work." I ordered the maid.She is going to learn some corrections today. I entered the room and closed the door behind

Chapter: Chapter 74SIERRA'S POVThe shocking news about Eleanor missing was too much for me to handle. I couldn't bear with her leaving for days, and now I have to suffer for this?I searched all the rooms in the club just in case any of the sex addicts had taken her away. I found nothing.That broke my heart, nothing but just scattered pearls on the floor, which doesn't seem to be that of Eleanor.The night was a restless night for me. I couldn't find sleep; even if I tried to rest my head, I found myself crying because she was gone. Her presence still felt very close, and her scent lingered around. "Eleanor, I'm so sorry." I cried all night. "I shouldn't have let you go there alone." I wailed and bit my pillow so hard.Anderson didn't let me rest; he was mad at me for letting Eleanor go there. I mean, that was okay. It's okay to be mad at me; I am mad at myself too."I promise to get you feedback." I said it to him just so he would let me rest.I worked on my laptop. I didn't even know what I was do

Chapter: Chapter 73ROBERT'S POVWhile in my office trying to put things together, Anderson stormed into my office. I tried so hard not to have a bad day but seeing Anderson just got me annoyed."What does he want?" That was the first thought that came into my mind. The moment he sat down to start exaggerating on things that didn't matter I got fed up already.I was so close to sending him away but then I heard Eleanor's name.My heart raced and I tried to act unconcerned but I really wanted to know what he had to say.When he declared her missing, I didn't know how to feel. I thought of a way to calm my nerves and not show concern.Anderson kept repeating it until it got stuck in my head. He finally left the office with an impression I had a hand in whatever was going on."Yes, of course everyone is going to think that I kidnapped her just because I wanted to talk to her." I scoffed.I got back to work and didn't let that bother me. They are paying for the things they did, I don't know who else they of

Chapter: Chapter 72ANDERSON'S POV That day was so unproductive; Sierra promised to give me a report when she got home, but I had not heard from her.I know she was not going to find something helpful, not then, not ever. I felt like roaming around the whole town like a madman.My night was a terrifying night. Anytime I close my eyes and try to sleep, I have these thoughts of her dying."No, no, I'm not ready to lose anyone again." I stayed up all night, restless. "Pick up." I called Sierra.There is no way she will be sleeping peacefully when Eleanor is out there."Sierra, where are you?" I asked her immediately she picked up the call."I am trying to get her..." How am I supposed to believe what she just said when she sounded like someone that just woke up from a sleep?"Sierra, don't try to keep me waiting. Please, I need to get some information from you." I hung up the call before she could say anything.My night and day had no difference. I was awake in both; the only difference was that at night

Chapter: Chapter 71ELEANOR'S POV I lay on the floor shivering from the cold. My legs folded, and I avoided touching the ground."I don't think there's a need to let her live. This woman will never tell her the code to her bank account." One of the men there suggested.They had a discussion on how they are going to dispose of me. "Let's just give it a try; she's trying to play hard, but trust me. She won't stay long when she's starving." Another contributed."I don't want to sound like I'm the only one feeling this way, but why don't we just kill her? She will never do this; even when she does, she will die." This one's voice sounded like he was hating on me already.I regret ever going to the club. I don't know if I was a fool for rejoicing when I didn't wait for the result, just like Sierra said, or maybe I was just being a coward."Hold up. We will give her a second chance; if she doesn't respond after that, then you can go ahead and kill her. She can't go back, so she doesn't expose us." That was t
