2025-03-27 01:48:31Sabrina's POV
I stood in front of Chadwick Industries—Haynes company, staring at a blank space. I could have sworn I had sighed a million times in less than an hour.
I had gone to the house in search of Haynes but he wasn't there, therefore I wasted no time in coming to the place where I would surely find him—His office. I have to beg him and I surely would.
I had stood frozen for minutes and then made up my mind to make the bold move of entering the company. My feet moved and my body followed, with that, I made my way to Haynes Chadwick's office. My heart hammered in my chest with each passing floor in the elevator as I waited for the elevator doors to open.
I wondered if he would still help me out. I'm still his wife, we haven't got divorced yet. He wouldn't just cut me off completely right? My thoughts spiralled as fear gripped me because I was unsure of what would happen in that office. But one thing felt certain above the others, I was surely going to get kicked out.
I stopped in front of the secretary who quickly stood up to greet me. I rarely stepped into the company to visit my husband but our marriage was quite known to the public so the secretary had no difficulty recognizing me.
"Welcome ma'am" she greeted, her tone polite.
I forced a smile, though my lips trembled.
"Is Mr. Haynes Chadwick in?" I asked. Right! I should start getting used to calling him by his name and not the term "husband".
"Yes ma'am, this way" The secretary said as she led me into the office. Just as the door opened, I spotted Haynes sitting in front of his desk as he goes over some paperwork. He lifted his gaze to meet mine and his face suddenly changed.
He wasn't glad to see me.
I hesitated for a while before I entered the room and all through, his gaze was on me.
"Haynes—" Too bad, he cut me off.
"If you are here to beg me, then it's of no use. It's better you leave now" he said, his voice cold and harsh.
The words hit harder than I expected, like a slap across the face. My throat burned but I swallowed it down.
"Please....just please. We can get a divorce. I'm okay with it but please.....not my reputation" I begged, tears falling freely off my eyes.
"Listen Sabrina. It's done and it can't be undone. Besides, I don't want to see you holding an important place in the society because you will only be a threat for me in the future" The words sinked in and my stomach twisted. My fists clenching at my sides. It took everything in me not to curse Haynes out loud.
"Right! The divorce.." He paused as he stood from his desk taking a paper out of an envelope and tossed it to my side.
"Sign it"
I glanced over the paper and even though I had been anticipating it, it still made my heart burn. Divorce papers.
He's truly divorcing me—Not after two years of enduring everything with him.
"Don't do this, I'm begging you, Haynes" I whispered as I slowly went down on my knees, dropping my handbag beside me on the marble floor, letting go of the last shreds of my pride, my ego. For a moment, I prayed I wouldn't regret it. I hoped he'd reconsider.
To my surprise, Haynes laughed. Turning me into a laughingstock who was begging at his feet. Alas! I regretted kneeling. I shouldn't have come in the first place but I had a bit of hope. However, Haynes ended up letting me down.
"What would you do next?? Wipe my shoes with your lips?? C'mon do it! It won't change anything though" he said, his voice dripping with amusement.
A fresh wave of humiliation crashed over me as I dug my nails into my palms. I reached for my bag and helped myself to my feet. He ridiculed me and I wouldn't forgive him for this.
"Enough of your ruckus, Sabrina. Sign the papers and leave, we are done. Camilla would arrive any moment from now" he said, further shattering my ego. I bet he never talked about me in front of anyone like this, he never anticipated my arrival but here he was, going on and on about Camilla.
"You will regret this, Haynes Chadwick" I said, and printed my signature on the papers, with that, I stormed out of the office in tears. I sobbed quite loud till I got into the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were closing, a foot jammed in between them, stopping the elevator from closing.
The scent of something dark, musky and strangely familiar invaded my senses. My body stiffened.
My eyes trailed up and widened in utmost shock. Hell! I don't want to believe this.
A smirk on his face, his broad tattooed arms holding the elevator doors, his eyes laced with something I couldn't explain.
"Long time no see Rina" he said as he made a full entrance into the elevator.
Luca McCorkindale—My ex-fiancé.
I never expected this, I wouldn't have imagined ever seeing him again for the rest of my life. Out of fear, or rather shock, I ran out of the elevator hoping it'd close before he made a move to run after me but Luca ran out after me immediately, grabbing me by my arms as he quickly succeeded in pinning me to the wall, just right beside the elevator.
"Scared?? I won't bite" Luca teased as he tipped my chin up. I gulped, unable to say anything.
"Why...why are you here??" I stuttered, finally finding my voice as fragments of memories from my past with him resurfaced.
"You look like you just cried" he said, dodging my question as his fingers trailed up my face, wiping the tears away.
His touch.
My breath caught, my heart started beating like the skin of a drum and my palms started growing sweaty.
Yes, the kind of effect only Luca's touch can have on me. I must be crazy, I was supposed to shove his hands away, push him off me but I didn't do anything. I couldn't.
"That's none of your business" I said, my voice sharp and clear.
"You know I hate it when people hurt you" he continued. I wished he'd stop, let me go and go his way but something in me also wanted to keep him here.
"Let me go, Luca. I have more urgent businesses to attend to" I said, and pushed him back hoping I'd finally be able to get away from his grasps but he didn't flinch and only trailed his fingers lower, down to my lips.
"Don't you miss me?" He asked, and I could have sworn I stopped breathing for a moment. It was a question—a question that surely required a "No" answer but I found it hard to say it.
"But I missed you" he whispered and before I could react, he crashed his lips against mine.
My ex-fiancé, kissing me, right in my husband's company.
He must be crazy—hell! I must be the crazy one for wanting to kiss him back.

BACK WITH MY EX: He Promised To Be Better Wanting Her Back
Luca's POVIt had been two months since I had been back into this city that screamed familiarity. Everyone had only heard of Luca Airline & Transportation but they've never met its CEO—the successful CEO which is me. The first thing I had looked for when I came back was Sabrina and I found out she was still married to that scumbag. Not that I didn't want her to be in a happy-ever-after marriage, but she was mine to begin with. He had taken her from me then and now I'm back, all prepared to take back what's mine. As if fate were on my side, I found out she wasn't happy—Not in that marriage. Not in that prison. Haynes Chadwick! That asshole! He treated her like a worthless person, like someone who deserved no respect, but for once—I'd thank him because he'd give me the perfect opening to take her back. It had been just few hours after the latest Ventimiglia family scandal which had thrown the media into chaos and confusion. I had someone watch Sabrina as I knew she'd be vulnerable,

Sabrina's POV"You can get back with your ex—why can't I get back with mine?" I wondered what I was thinking when I said that. I just wanted Haynes to feel hurt too, even if it was just once but as I stared into his eyes, seeing right through his soul, he didn't regret his actions. He hadn't even flinch when I kissed another man. He never cared about me and all he wanted was to get rid of me. That hurts me but I could only walk away to hide my pain. Luca McCorkindale! Of all people, why did he have to be here? Why did he have to kiss me? Everything felt like it was working against me. To think that he'd reappear in my life...only to cause more distrust in a marriage that had just broken up. He's my past and although something in me wanted to keep him, another doesn't want him back in my life. "Let me drive you" His voice came again, low, musky and soothing but I wasn't going to fall for it, not again. His hands gestured towards a red Lamborghini at the side but I didn't care about

Luca's POVI hadn't expected her to accept that quickly but then again, I haven't given a choice to think about it. She accepted—and that's all that matters. I stood there like a fool at a loss for words. I had proposed the marriage but standing there made it looks like I had no plans on what to do after she accepted the offer—or maybe because I had thought Sabrina was more tougher and stubborn than someone who would accept my request on my first day of trying. "It's cool then, we will start making arrangements for everything" I said, sighing in relief. I'm just a step closer to having Sabrina Ventimiglia as mine again. I missed her, everything about her and I was mad at her and myself for losing her. She left me, dumped me but that had only kept me going, the only thing that made me come back as the successful CEO of multiple organizations. "Let me drive you" I suggested and walked to my car, opening the door to the passengers seat for her. A gentlemanly gesture I'd never show

Haynes POVLuca McCorkindale—He happened to be her ex and I couldn't shake that off since the time I left the company to the airport. He's wealthy, powerful and a very significant figure in the whole city. That bothers me. I heaved a sigh as I stare at my phone, something in me expecting Sabrina to call, to beg again but no call came. Luca McCorkindale couldn't have come to her rescue, could he?"Haynes!!" The loud cheerful voice was what brought me back to the world. I looked up to see Camilla waving at me, her smile radiating through the whole place. I smiled back as I spread my arms for her to run into and she did. I loved her, and I had to let her go all in the name of business two years ago. Two years ago, Richard Ventimiglia and I needed each other. He needed a huge sum of money and unwavering support of the media to keep his business going as he had almost gone bankrupt. I helped him with that and in return got Sabrina. I had to take her as I knew what I was after then. Ha

Sabrina's POVI must be going crazy to tell Luca to get married to me this week. It would look like I was pushing things ahead of how they were supposed to be. "Uhm. We will talk about this later, thanks for the meal" I said to Luca and rushed out of the dining area back to the room they had given to me. I sat on the bed and stares at the message Haynes has sent me earlier. "I have Camilla sleeping peacefully by my side right now Sabrina. I plan on living a happy life with her away from you, so don't cause me trouble" He texted me to let me know his ex is back, now by his side. In his bed. I shouldn't care but I couldn't stop thinking about it. He divorced me for Camilla and now dates to threaten me. After I clear my name, I will make sure Haynes suffer. Happy life? He doesn't deserve anything like that. He cheated on me, divorced me and even had to bring his ex back to take my place. I put a call across to Didi, my personal assistant. The moment she picked up, I asked, "How's

Luca's POVAll I did was watch as the reporters swarm all over Sabrina. Her gaze transfixed at a spot and her whole body in shock. I glanced at the car that drove past me and with a quick gaze with Blake—My assistant who drove me here, he understood what I meant. To get everything he could on the lady in the car. The one who had just brought panic to Sabrina. I didn't want to jeopardize the media the more by stepping out there to pick Sabrina. I clenched my fist hoping she'd steady herself. She was never this weak when she was with me. I didn't know what that black haired bitch might have said to her, but I felt like she could overcome it. Blake noticed my tenseness and turned to face me. "Should I go get her, boss?" I waved him off with a flick of my wrist dismissing his thought. If anyone was to go out there, it should be me. I had her followed the moment she left the mansion in the black sedan. I didn't want to trust anything, not even bodyguards. I knew the public were still

Sabrina's POVI didn't know what to do. All I wanted was for him to stay with me, I was scared at the moment. Scared of everything, but Luca stood out and I felt I could trust him. He leaned back to the bed, hugging me and I hugged back tightly. His huge body frame that wrapped me in it's embrace feeling like the only thing I needed at the moment. I cried in his chest while he caressed my back. I needed to talk to someone but still, I couldn't bring myself to talk to Luca about it. "It's okay, Sabrina. You are fine" He said, patting my hair gently. Slowly, my cries slowed down and I only sniffled. I could hear his heartbeat and truly—I didn't want to get out of the embrace. I haven't felt like this in two years—It's the first time in two years I would be sitting this close to Luca, hugging his chest. I knew we were over, but I couldn't help this situation. Slowly, I drifted to sleep and all I could feel was the soft tender hands that caressed me. That was all it took until I fe

Sabrina's POVMy heels tapped against the ground as I moved with my back straight and my chin slightly lifted up— a way of walking indicating ease and confidence. Everything was in a rhythm along with the way my dress swayed. I could feel eyes on me, whispers everywhere about my elegance but I didn't mind—I never did. That's the fake life I had built for myself, being the daughter of the influential Ventimiglias and the daughter-in-law of the Chadwicks; that was the only way I could make myself happy, the perfect facade away from the misery that had always been my shadow. Those people took pictures and I knew what they were after; the bag in my hand, it was the limited one that had arrived in my store earlier. Anything I touched turned into a trend in just minutes and the marketing world has me to thank for that. Getting my mission done; as that was to show the bag off. I hopped into the car and urged the driver to start driving. It was a half-hour drive back to the mansion. The m

BACK WITH MY EX: He Promised To Be Better Getting Dumped
Sabrina's POVThe dimly lit room felt colder than the usual, the glow from the window casting shadows over his face as he turned. Haynes turned, then realized I was there and quickly ended the call. I scoffed as I walked up to him demanding an explanation. "The hell were you talking about on the phone, Haynes?" I asked, trepidation washing over me as my hands began getting sweaty. Those words had trouble settling in. He had plans to ruin me then divorce me, that was his plan all along. That was the only thing he could offer me in this two years of marriage while all I did was put up with his attitude and nonchalant behaviours. He must have taken me for a fool—no! I really am a bloody fool for not seeing this coming. "For how long have you been standing there?" That came his reply to my question. Answering a question with a question or rather, he was avoiding my question. "Does it matter? Just answer the question Haynes. Tell me I heard wrong" I said, and I hated the way I sounded.
