Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 11. EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL.
Bella’s POV.If one word could accurately describe the way I felt before I left Ethan's office, then it would be “breathless.”I mean, my breath ceased for a moment, longing to leave his office before he came up with other funny questions, but then I didn't have to show it.Having Ethan ask me such a question after a year since the whole incident occurred seems to me that he was suspecting something, and that got me because I never saw it coming after this long.Was he trying to pry me or something?I couldn't say for sure, but letting my mom know at this point what has been happening is the best I could think of.Just as I expected, the door to the sitting room swung open, and here comes the queen who never goes out of style.Dressed neatly in one of her custom-made black designer gowns, her lips had a deep shade of red lip gloss, and her hair was perfectly styled, like she was just preparing to go out while she was done with the day's activities.“You sounded urgent over the phone.

Jasmine’s POV“And finally, someone decided to show up late even after I asked her not to.”I knew Mr. Ethan was referring to me the moment he noticed me, but then I chose to seem less concerned and walked straight to where I saw him sit with another fellow.That was his best friend, Mr. Gray, who visits him often whenever he gets to town, but let's just pretend like I don't know him because of my new identity that nails down to my disguised face.Even before I got here, I knew he would certainly be the one Ethan wanted to see that evening.Ethan looked at me closely and said, “Why did you just arrive? Well, for a penalty to it, you have to drink three glasses of this.” He said, pointing to the bottle of liquor with a glass beside it.I didn't say a thing because I knew I wasn't going to taste any sort of alcohol tonight.“Sit down here,” he said, and then held me down to sit next to him.The bar was one of the best in town, and that's where he usually hangs out whenever he needs to
Last Updated : 2024-08-07Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 13. LET'S CANCEL THE ENGAGEMENT.
Ethan’s POVMy alarm rang, and there I was, stretching my hand to put it off.Whop! That was another day, and I have to prepare to go to work.Being a boss doesn't stop me from taking my work seriously, I think consistency in showing up everyday is one of the virtues that has helped me so much in my work.I had observed that my hands were all wrapped around Jasmine.To be honest, everything that happened the previous night seemed so surreal, but I felt good all night, to the best I can remember.I understand the initial urge to get a feel for Jasmine was an influence of the alcohol I had in excess at the bar the previous day, but that sound brought back plenty of memories for me.“Mr. Ethan, you are awake.”Jasmine's voice called me out of my thoughts, I never knew she was awake as she backed me in the position she laid.She then turned to face me with softened eyes, and a gentle warmth spread across her face as her lips curled into a reassuring smile.I returned the smiles, and just

Leah’s POV“Oh! Mrs. Leah, I have heard a lot about your reputation. Your invitation is truly an honor, ma'am. I have been longingly expecting a day like this. Thank you so much for the privi…I cleared my throat, obviously stalling, so I could interrupt her. “Jasmine… I learned that you are Jasmine, right?”"Yes, ma, I am.”“Fine, that's how I want you to talk to me.Just straight to the point and keep it that simple.”I adjusted on the seat, just opposite where she sat with the table across in the private space of the park where we were, and this time I looked deep into her eyes.“What's your purpose for approaching Ethan?”“What purpose can I have?Mr. Ethan has access to billions. I approached him because of money.”She said, without blinking an eye.'That gut', but at the same time, I tried to suppress my anger because that was just what I needed her to say.I took out a card from my bag and offered to her, “Here is 1 billion dollars. Take the money and cancel every deal you have
Last Updated : 2024-08-10Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 15. PLEASE, DON'TSTRANGLE ME
Jasmine’s POV“You have successfully attracted Ethan; what's your next move, Jasmine?”Luciano questioned me after I had given him the breakdown of everything: how I would be moving to the new place Ethan got for me, my encounter with Bella, and later that of Mrs Leah.There was no way I was going to let him know about the intercourse with Ethan.I wasn't necessarily hiding it, but I don't think there was a need for that.“I want to make Mike fall deeply in love with me so that he would have no choice other than to marry me into the Archer's family.” I answered him.I noticed a bit of uneasiness on his face; maybe he wasn't expecting it to linger for such a period of time as I had conveyed in what I had previously told him. Nevertheless, I continued with what I was saying: “With that, Benny and her mom; Leah will go crazy. Then that is the point; I will find the vital point and attack.”“I see. So, what about Ethan's father, Mr. Williams Archer? Have you taken him out of the picture?”
Last Updated : 2024-08-11Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 16. HE IS MY BROTHER.
Jasmine's POV.It seems luck was on my side, I could feel someone coming inside. At least being sensitive to the environment means that I'm not dead yet.I wish I could scream out for help, but then Ethan was still holding my neck and not giving up.“Jasmine, are you at home? Jasmine. Jas…Luciano paused in his words and rushed to our side the moment he saw Ethan in full control of my neck.He pushed Ethan away, and it took the latter a few minutes to regain his composure.I never knew Luciano had that much strength in him.I finally huffed as I got freed from Ethan's hold, strutting away. Likewise, I kept pressing my neck gently to make sure there was no broken place, because you can't say otherwise regarding how aggressively Ethan held it.He was still the same heartless man I knew, and nothing really changed about him.There was no better explanation to why he was on the edge of strangling me if not for Luciano's intervention.Anyway, I wouldn't blame him that much; I understood ho

Ethan’s POV“What was that display all about?”I called Jasmine to attention, who was almost lost in the direction that his supposed brother just left.“What do you think it is?”She replied nonchalantly, like she was ready for anything I wanted to dish out.It wouldn't be nice if I moved my attention to what's not necessary currently, as my mind clung back to my mom's legacy I had in my hands.I couldn't get my eyes off this necklace; it can't be a mix-up. This necklace is one of its kind, so I am sure it's not just something similar.‘This is the necklace I gave to Nadin.’ I thought right in my head.“Since this is the case, you can take it back. Let's say, returning it to the owner.” Jasmine's voice called me out of my thoughts, as if she read my mind.It was almost the same thing she said when I tried to confirm how it got into her possession.How was she confident that it's mine? I mean, the level of certainty gestures she used to say 'return it to the owner’ even without confirm

Ethan’s POV.Today hadn't been on its best behavior. Just when I was having some peace of mind, I had to still deal with Martin's unreasonable questions.So, I left Martin there at the bar since I was already pissed.I got home and met my dad at my house. My facial expression was notably indifferent, devoid of overt happiness or sadness, as I had never had prior knowledge about his visit.I merely glanced at him.“Dad!” A way of greeting, and I continued in my tracks.“You went out drinking again, Mike? You are the CEO of Archer’s Group. Recognize your identity.” He said, obviously taunting.That was indeed out of nowhere and nothing calls for that.“Identity? Is that what you call it? I am nothing more than your pawn, or let's just say your puppet.” I scowled at him because I couldn't stand him anymore. “I am going upstairs."“Stop right there. You fool around the place with another woman outside. Now you make a scene in front of Leah.”I turned on my track and said, “Anyway, I shoul

Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 110. ONE HAPPY FAMILY.
Jasmine’s POV Three years down the lane.Mr. Williams and Mrs. Leah has been jailed, and that was a life imprisonment with regard to all they were used against in the court, which includes my attempted murder and death of Ethan. Bella was also sent to prison after she was arrested abroad for drug trafficking.I had come to Ethan's grave to worship with my 2-year-old son and Luciano.“Ethan, I have come to see you and pay due respect. This is our child, and his name is Brad. He is actually 2 years old now.Isn't he adorable?Come here, son, say ‘Daddy.’” I said as soon as I dropped a bunch of flowers right before the tomb.“Daddy.”He responded cheerfully.“Doesn't he look a lot like you?Anyway, I think you are mad at me; otherwise, why haven't you ever visited me in dreams at least?Anyway, I want to remind you that I will take good care of our child for us.Before now, you were the one chasing after me, but from now on, let me engrave you in my heart.”I smiled heartily and then t
Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 109. WHY IS LUCIANO BEING INSENSITIVE?
Chapter 109. Jasmine’s POV I watched as Ethan gave up the ghost. I wailed like my life depended on him coming back to life.Just then, the police surrounded the whole vicinity, and Mrs. Leah, Mr. Williams, and the hired assassins were all apprehended.I barely noticed how Mrs. Leah kept apologizing to Mr. Williams that it was all a mistake and she never meant to kill Ethan. Instead it was me that she wanted to kill.That was before the police got in, though.Although I didn't pay much attention to them as my whole focus was fixed on Ethan's dead body that lay on my lap, with our bodies having blood all over that came from his mouth and stomach where the knife had pierced him.In no time, the ambulance came and took away Ethan's corpse.It all seemed like a dream, but I have to accept the reality the hard way.One of the officers approached me.“The record has been completed.Please accept our condolences.We would have arrived a bit earlier, and this wouldn't have happened, but we n
Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 108. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILD
Ethan's POV I had gotten the location of the place by the office I had called after he tracked the number I sent to him.And so I headed there at once while he informed me to get the police squad ready and so he would join me soon.As I couldn't wait any longer, I decided to rush to the location he had already shared with me.I got in the middle of the conversation where my dad and Mrs. Leah had disclosed so many things about the truth they had been hiding from me all along.Although I had heard that was the same truth Jasmine had used to claim back the heir of the Scott family but I believed it was all manipulated by Jasmine.Now, hearing my dad and Mrs. Leah admitting it all, I have no reason to see Jasmine that way.Now, I know Jasmine was innocent and she is the Nadin but there was no time for that.When I wasn't having it, I needed to stop up from the spot I hid all the while, as I had heard all I needed to know about the truth.“Stop.”I said, pausing my dad in his act as he tr
Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 107. EVEN WHEN FACING DEATH, YOU STILL HAVE TO BE TOUGH?
Williams POV“How did both of you get here? Aren't you supposed to be in prison?Does that mean you escaped custody after all your evil deeds that were labelled against you two in the law court?”Jasmine asked fiercely, trying to get up at the same time.Just when I thought she could just shut her fucking lips for once. Or it hadn't dawned on her that she was in dire danger and no one was coming to save her.Anyway, it's not her fault as she didn't know the plan is to end her life here, and nothing is ever stopping us on that.I think I needed to reset her brain a little; let's say the previous slap from the thugs didn't do enough justice, and so I went on and slapped her really hard, sending her back to the floor.“Bastard!You got me into this mess. How do you think that I could let you go just like that?”This godforsaken lady has messed up my life, big time. If not for my connections, I would definitely rot in jail over time, as I know that was part of her plan. And now, it was as
Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 106. JASMINE MIGHT BE IN DANGER.
Ethan's POV After what seemed like a short nap, I could say it's the shortest nap in the history of man, as I could feel I woke up not long after I had slept.Although I know the sleep had a lot to do with the alcohol I took and the pain I felt because I wasn't feeling sleepy nor having the thoughts of sleep before then.I staggered out to the corridor that led to my room as I wanted to ease myself at the convenience room, and then saw Nadin with my phone, though she backed me and didn't take notice of me.“Why are you with my phone?” I asked, and she freaked out as she didn't see me coming behind her.“Which day did my phone turn to yours, or do we both share the phone now without my notice?Did someone call? Who was calling?” I questioned all at a time.“Ethan... I... I...”Obviously stammering, right then, I knew she was up to something.“Give me my phone at once.”I said, stretching my hand, and took my phone from her at once.I went through the last caller because I was convince
Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 105. SO, IT'S YOU TWO AGAIN?!
Jasmine’s POVWhile I was alone, the idea to escape kept striking my mind even after many failed attempts.And so, I wouldn't stop to think within me any way I could do that.So, I managed to get a broken broken that was behind me. I had sighted it from a distance, though, after so much effort of moving backward.I commenced using the bottle to slightly cut the rope, and fortunately enough for me, I got myself untied, although I injured myself in the process and blood gushed out, but that was the least thing I could worry about now. As my nervous system was more concentrated on the danger that lies within and how I would escape, it was what seemed to overtake the better part of my thoughts.I didn't bother to untie my legs; I need to at least inform someone so at least the person could contact the police in case I am escaping and the kidnappers apprehend me on their way back or something.I think that is a nice idea, and I needed to act accordingly to that immediately.I quickly picke
Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 104. WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE!
Ethan's POV My life has been so shattered without Jasmine.Though I had opted for the divorce at first, I felt it could make me forget things about her so fast, but that didn't help at all. I think it even made it worse.Now, thinking of the one who claimed to be Nadin is nothing like her; if I have to be honest about it all to myself, But that was exactly Nadin's face, but then, I can't really place the dots how they connect in character.I have heard her making calls secretly, requesting the completion of the money for a service she is rendering.Seems like she has a lot of secrets too, but right now, I didn't care about all of those.One thing that I find so confusing and can't even answer is, do most women keep secrets to be happy?I wouldn't even lie that it makes me weak as fuck.I feel like I was losing it, with nobody to talk to or even share my pains with because it seems Nadin isn't even close to me the way Jasmine was. My dad is behind bars and had been charged to court,
Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 103. WHO COULD HAVE WANTED ME DEAD!
Jasmine’s POV I had gone to pay another homage to my dad's tomb.At least I have accomplished a greater part, if not all, of the revenge I had promised him to get.At least Mrs. Leah, Bella, and Mr. Williams are all behind the bar now.The good thing was that the company is already doing better after like a month and half that I got in position and very soon, it would soar as high as it used to.“Dad, did you see all of that?I have avenged you.All these villains are getting what they deserve.The plan went smoothly, but you know it's impossible for me and Ethan to be together again, even though I still feel something for him.”As you know, Ethan and I are still like cats and rats who wouldn't see each other in broad daylight, but then it's not in my power to do anything about that.It's just the bitter truth he needs to face.Luciano has been so helpful in every single way I needed his help and had tried so much to respect my feelings too.Just then, I stood up to leave, but I noti
Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 102. WHY HAVEN'T YOU DIED YET?
Bella's POV Seeing how prepared Jasmine has come to spoil the show for me. Not this event that seemed like a dream come true to me, that I had waited for some time before it finally came to a reality.And so, I had to act accordingly as my mum was too stunned to react, unlike her though.Just at the heat of the moment after she played the audio, I had fully recognized my mum's voice and that of Mr. Williams, knowing how far this could go to mess things up for me. As that was already enough proof, the board members need to know what had happened to Mr. Scott for real.I quickly snatched the tape from Jasmine and smashed it on the floor.“This voice is synthesized. It's not real, and you all shouldn't believe that trash. She doesn't need to continue to deceive you all.”I persuaded, but to my surprise, no one was ready to even listen to me as they kept glaring at me like I was talking gibberish.I went close to Jasmine, trying to drag her.“You lunatic, what are you trying to do, and w
