After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 243 The Pill
(Thomas)I made my way through the crowd toward the bar, walking around the clusters of people dancing and drinking under the flashing lights.It was too loud to think and the music was pounding relentlessly in my ears, but my focus was on one thing, which was getting the drinks and going back to Lydia. I could tell she was nervous when I left her, and I didn’t want to leave her alone for long.As I reached the bar, I ordered our favorite drinks. It was almost instinctual, her favorite drink, a gin and tonic with a twist of lime, and mine, an old fashioned. The memory came back to me in another flash of me ordering the same thing, many, many times before. I remembered the details and it felt strange, the familiarity of something as simple as a drink order amidst the chaos of this party.I leaned against the counter, glancing around while I waited for the drinks. The bar area was just as packed as the rest of the mansion. People were crowding around, some laughing and others clearly in
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 244 Game
(Lydia)I kept my smile fixed on my face, letting Nathan stand near me. I had to do this because we had a goal and I needed to do everything in my power to get it done.Every second I spent in Nathan’s presence made my skin crawl. The weight of everything I knew hung over me like a heavy cloud, thickening the air between us.Clara’s words echoed in my head, louder now than ever. How he could charm anyone with a smile and his easy going nature, but underneath it all, there was something else. Something darker.Clara hadn’t held anything back. She told me how possessive Nathan could get, how he crossed lines that normal people wouldn’t dream of crossing. The image of the two of them sitting together entered my mind again and I had the sudden urge to recoil away from Nathan.He was so close that I could smell his breath that was hitting the side of my neck in hot puffs.Nathan had been stalking me for who knows how long. He had broken into my home and yet, here I was, standing next to hi
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 245 Missing
(Thomas)I pushed through the crowd, my heart pounding in my chest, but Lydia was nowhere in sight. She couldn’t have gone far. Just minutes ago, I had left her at the edge of the dance floor, telling her I’d be back after grabbing us drinks.It was so crowded that it was difficult to breathe. People were packed in together like it wasn’t a big deal for them to be in a room this stuffy. I know most of them were probably intoxicated on more than just drinks. I didn’t care about all that though, I only wanted to get to Lydia before anything could happen to her.I called her name, "Lydia!" but the sound was swallowed by the pounding bass and flashing lights. I knew it was no use but I couldn’t help but cry out for her. All around me, people were laughing, spinning, and dancing, oblivious to the knot of anxiety tightening in my gut.I elbowed my way through, scanning faces, hoping she was just blending into the crowd. Maybe she was having fun, dancing with some friends she bumped into. Bu
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 246 Dare
(Lydia)The room buzzed with low chatter and bursts of laughter, but I couldn’t focus on any of it. I sat there, surrounded by Nathan and his friends, feeling like an outsider despite the circle of people closing in around me.From the way they joked and leaned into each other’s words, it was clear they had known each other for a long time. Their comfort with each other was palpable, yet it unsettled me.What did they really know about Nathan? Did they know what kind of man he was, the manipulative, deceitful monster hiding beneath his charming facade? Or were they just as blind to it as I had been at first?Maybe, like Clara, they were trapped in his web, each of them tangled in different ways, each of them tolerating his bullshit because they didn’t know how to escape. Or worse, maybe they were just like him, a circle of people who shared his darkness.I shifted uncomfortably, glancing at the others as they continued with their small talk. One of them, a tall guy with a sleeve of ta
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 247 The Shot
(Lydia)Utter silence followed my words as everyone blinked at me. And then as if synchronized, everyone started screaming, “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” at the top of their lungs.The noise around me was deafening, the chant reverberated in the room like the pounding of a drum. The cacophony of noises made my head swim until I didn’t know what to do. My throat tightened, a lump forming so large I could barely swallow. I shook my head, unable to speak, unwilling to do what they were asking. No. I couldn’t do this. Not with him.Nathan’s eyes were on me too, gleaming with something cold, calculated, hidden beneath a mask of charm. He didn’t say anything, just leaned back slightly, watching as his friends screamed louder, egging me on like I was a piece of entertainment.I swung my head around, to see whether there was at least one person who would be at my side, but no one stood out.I shook my head again, more firmly this time. "No," I managed to croak out, but my voice was drowned out by the n
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 248 Upstairs
(Thomas)I spent the next fifteen minutes weaving through the crowd, calling out Lydia’s name again and again, but it was useless. The music was too loud, the lights too disorienting, and the people were far too absorbed in their own drunken fun to notice me.I scanned every face, and pushed through every group of partiers, but Lydia was nowhere to be found. My heart was racing, the anxiety clawing at me like a feral animal. I couldn’t shake the sickening feeling that something was wrong.I finally made my way to the far end of the mansion, where the music wasn’t as overpowering. The sound was muffled here, and the air felt different. It was calmer for sure but also much more eerie.I stumbled upon a small room, the kind of hidden spot where people went to escape the chaos for a while. The door was half-closed, and as I peered inside, I saw a group of people sitting in a loose circle, playing some sort of game.Laughter spilled from the room, but it was subdued compared to the riotous
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 249 Hazy
(Lydia)Warning: The following chapter contains a depiction of attempted sexual assault, which may be distressing for some readers. Please go right to the next chapter if this topic can upset you.Everything was hazy, like I was underwater and the world around me was a blurry and distant echo. The sounds filtering into my ears felt like they were coming from another dimension, muffled and distorted as if someone had turned the volume down on reality.I could see colors in bright and swirling shades that didn’t make sense, dancing in front of my eyes, refusing to stay still. I tried to focus, tried to make sense of what was happening, but everything felt so far away.I tried to speak, but my tongue felt strange like it was too big for my mouth, thick and useless. I tried to call out for help, tried to form words, but all that came out was a small, pitiful sound. Panic surged through me, but even that felt dull like it was swimming through molasses before it could fully reach my mind.W
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 250 I’ve Got You
(Thomas)I ran up the stairs, my breath ragged and my heart pounding in my chest. Every second felt like it was slipping away from me like I was too late. I couldn’t shake the image of Lydia, vulnerable, alone, possibly in Nathan’s grip. The thought made my stomach turn. I couldn’t let that happen. I wouldn’t.The upper floor of the mansion stretched out in front of me with wide hallways on both sides and the doors lined up like an endless maze.I paused for a split second, feeling a strange tug in my gut, something primal telling me to go left. I didn’t question it. I followed the instinct, veering left and charging down the hallway, throwing open doors as I went.Most of the rooms were empty, though some were locked. I pressed my ear to each locked door, straining to hear any sound or any kind of movement. But there was nothing except for silence. Some of the rooms I opened had small groups of people inside, sitting around in threes or fours, laughing or talking in hushed voices.Th

After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 468 Stubborn
(Ruby)I stood outside Jack’s apartment door, my hand hesitating over the knocker. I shouldn’t be here. I’d already done more than enough, stitched him up, watching him avoid my questions like he always did. But despite every logical reason to stay away, I was here. Because this wasn’t just anyone, it was Jack. The Jack who had once made me laugh so hard I cried, who had shared countless quiet evenings with me in this very apartment. The Jack who, despite all the hurt and chaos, still managed to make my heart skip a beat when I thought of him. I pressed my lips together, pushing the memories aside. This wasn’t about rekindling anything; it was about making sure he was okay. He had shown up at my door injured and vulnerable, and no matter how much time had passed or how complicated things had gotten, I couldn’t ignore that. Taking a deep breath, I knocked. When Jack opened the door, his surprise was clear, though he quickly masked it with that practiced cool demeanor of his.
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 467 On My Terms
(Jack)I sat on the edge of my couch, staring at the bandage on my side, frustration boiling just beneath the surface. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen. The family doctor had left about an hour ago after re-dressing my wound. He was efficient and professional, as always, and I appreciated the care. But damn it, why hadn’t I thought to call him in the first place? The moment I got injured, my instincts hadn’t pointed me toward practicality or logic. No, instead, I’d ended up at Ruby’s apartment, bloodied and in desperate need of stitches. I didn’t even remember the exact route I’d taken to get there, just that I had. Like my brain had been hardwired to seek her out, even when it made no sense. It embarrassed me now. Ruby had been nothing but calm and steady as she stitched me up, but I could tell how unsettled she was underneath that brave exterior. And I’d put her in that position, dragged her into something she had no business being
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 466 Date Night
(Lydia)The drive back to the mansion felt electric, charged with an energy I couldn’t quite put into words. Thomas’s hand rested on my thigh as he navigated the quiet streets, his fingers brushing gently against my skin. Neither of us said much; the connection between us was palpable without needing words. By the time we reached the house and stepped through the door, it was as if the air around us crackled with anticipation. Ruby had left a note on the counter saying the kids were asleep and she’d see us tomorrow. I smiled, grateful for her support, but my focus was entirely on Thomas. As soon as the door to our bedroom clicked shut behind us, it was like a dam broke. His lips were on mine in an instant, hot and urgent, pulling me into him as if the space between us was unbearable. My hands found their way to his shoulders, then his hair, as I pressed closer, feeling the hard lines of his body against mine. “Lydia,” he murmured, his voice low and thick with desire. I didn’t
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 465 For Everything
(Lydia)When I woke up in the morning, I felt completely refreshed. Today was special. Thomas and I had a date planned, just the two of us. It had been far too long since we’d had an evening to ourselves, and the thought of spending uninterrupted time with him filled me with excitement. Thomas was already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed as he adjusted his tie. His usual morning routine was precise, and I admired how calm and collected he looked, even when I knew his day would be busy. “Good morning,” I murmured, leaning up on my elbows. He turned, smiling warmly, “Good morning, love. Sleep well?” I nodded, sliding closer to him, “You’re leaving early today.” “Lots to do before tonight,” he said with a wink. I couldn’t help but smile at the playful glint in his eyes. Recently, he had been waking up looking like he didn’t get much sleep the night before. But today, he looked like he rested well. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kissed him passionately, savoring the
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 464 Let’s Go On A Date
(Thomas)The drive back to the mansion was quiet, the city lights a blur as they passed by the windows. My mind replayed the events of the day, the chaos with that one candidate, the interviews that went nowhere, and then Jack. That wound, the tension in his voice, the possibility of Marco being involved, it all left a sour taste in my mouth. But I pushed it aside for now. I didn’t want to bring that storm home with me.By the time I pulled into the driveway, the mansion was bathed in soft light, welcoming and warm. I exhaled deeply, the weight of the day slowly lifting as I reminded myself of what mattered most, my family.Inside, the familiar sounds of home greeted me. Miles and Mabel’s laughter echoed from the living room, where they were playing with a set of blocks. Lydia sat nearby, her eyes flicking between them and her phone. When she looked up and saw me, her face brightened in a way that made the tension in my chest ease instantly.“Daddy!” Miles and Mabel shouted in unison
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 463 No More Hiding Things
(Thomas)The hallways of the office were unusually quiet as I left the disaster of the last interview behind me. My steps echoed faintly as I made my way toward Jack’s office, needing a moment to vent about the absurdity of the day. Jack always had a way of grounding me, even when the world felt like it was spiraling out of control.But when I arrived at his office, it was empty. The blinds were drawn, the desk cleared except for a mug of cold coffee. I frowned, pulling out my phone to call him.He picked up after a few rings. His voice was low and somewhat strained when he spoke, “Thomas?”“Jack,” I said, glancing at my watch, “Where are you? I just came by your office.”“I’m at my apartment,” he replied, his tone clipped. “At your apartment?” I repeated, my frown deepening, “It’s the middle of the day, Jack. What’s going on?”There was a pause, long enough to make me suspicious. “I had to step out for a bit,” he finally said, “I’ll be back soon.”“Jack-”“Thomas, I’m fine,” he int
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 462 Risky Decisions
(Lydia)As we pulled into the driveway of the mansion, I couldn’t help but glance at Ruby in the passenger seat. Her face was calm, her usual cool composure firmly in place, but I could tell she was exhausted. Whatever had happened earlier was still playing in the back of my mind, but I didn’t press her further. Ruby had always been good at deflecting, and I knew better than to push when she wasn’t ready to share. The front door opened before we even reached it, and there stood Mama, smiling weakly but genuinely. She leaned on her cane, her movements slower since the surgery, but her spirit was intact. Ruby was by her side in a flash, steadying her and guiding her gently back into the living room. “Ruby, you didn’t have to come all the way here if the boutique was busy,” Mama said softly, though her eyes betrayed how much she appreciated the gesture. “I wanted to,” Ruby replied simply, her voice steady, “And you know me, I don’t trust anyone else to make sure you’re properly ta
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 461 Security
(Thomas)The office felt unusually stifling today, as if the walls were closing in on me. My desk was piled with documents, but my attention was split. Half of my mind churned through what would happen when I met Nathan again.I had not seen him face to face since the last time, the night I found Lydia after he had kidnapped her. My blood boiled just thinking about that moment. I would have made a rash decision if it wasn’t for Lydia’s hand in mind and the thought of our kids, their smiling faces flashing through my mind.They had already spent so much time without me, their dad, I wasn’t going to make a horrible decision by harming Nathan and landing myself behind bars.I was glad that I hadn’t acted out of emotion, but that was also due to the fact that Lydia was right in front of me, looking relatively unharmed. If he had done something to her…then I would have taken it into my hands.Apart from this, there was also the added stress of finding another personal assistant for myself.
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 460 Banged Knee or a Lie
(Lydia)By the time I reached Ruby’s apartment, I could hardly breathe. My legs burned from climbing the stairs two at a time, but I didn’t care. My mind was racing, filled with every worst-case scenario I could imagine. Ruby’s phone going unanswered and her not showing up at the mansion had sent my thoughts spiraling into dark territory.I pounded on her door, my fist landing hard against the wood.“Ruby? Open up! It’s me!”The hallway was eerily silent, my frantic knocks echoing off the walls. I pressed my ear to the door, hoping to catch even the faintest sound of movement inside.“Ruby, please! Are you okay?”The seconds stretched unbearably. Then, finally, I heard the muffled shuffle of footsteps. Relief surged through me, but it was fleeting.The door opened just a crack, and Ruby appeared, peeking through the gap. Her face was calm, but her eyes held a flicker of something…annoyance? Discomfort?“Lydia,” she said, her voice carefully even, “What are you doing here?”I pushed th
