Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 43. HELD AGAINST THE WALL
Ethan's POV.I swiftly retraced my steps, sensing danger in the urgency that accompanied the butler's voice.I saw my dad struggling for his life in a quick peripheral vision, and then when I looked in that direction, a quick surge rushed through my adrenaline back and forth. Furthermore, I rushed back to him instantly. I tried to stop him, all to no avail. It hasn't gotten to that point of having my father dead all because of my carelessness and stubbornness.I was certain to a point that the words I uttered before I wanted to leave had triggered whatever the doctor must have mentioned the ailment was.So it struck me hard that I had to do the needful accordingly at this choice, as I was left with no other choice. But then he had to be fine, at least, not in this state when it's like I am about to lose him. A thousand and one unimaginable thoughts scrolled through my mind as my brows pinched in confusion.“Dad,” I called out hastily. “Dad.” I did that again and again. The butler r

Williams POVAs soon as Ethan left, I was certain to a higher percentage that he wasn't going to return, with regard to his last statement before he left.I giggled as I faced my butler, “Get the doctor to come pull this oxygen away from my nose. I am suffocating on it already, and it's making me a bit uncomfortable.”In no time, the doctor was already back in my room.“Nice act, doctor. Don't worry, I will double the pay. Of course, you can rely on me for that.“It's fine. Thank you, sir. I am happy we could convince him it was real.”With the help of the doctor, the oxygen was pulled off from the nose down to the mouth region, and so I felt so comfortable to talk better.“Why won't he; he is only a little boy of yesterday, or is it because he is now all grown?He dare not try to challenge me, not even in the slightest things because I bet you, I would always find my way around. Now, I have to turn the tables against him.” I smiled heartily, knowing my mission and more were fully acc
Last Updated : 2024-10-31Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 45. TOO STRONG TO BREAK
Jasmine's POVI just got back home after a long day at work.I threw myself off the couch as I needed to take in some breath in and out before I could think of what next to do—freshen up and the like.The beep from my phone got my attention at once, and then I picked up my phone from my bag, staring at the message notification from Mr. Ken.I quickly unlocked the phone, and boom, the message read from Mr. Ken, “The chairman, Mr. Williams, used a death ultimatum to force Ethan into agreeing to marry Bella.”That was when it quickly occurred to me that Ethan had called me to meet with him at a roadside restaurant close to my house, but I was already exhausted, and so some things were skipped away from my thoughts.I smirked thoughtfully, “Ethan, would this have been the reason you had wanted to see me?” But to think of it, this would have really been a hard one on you because I know they must have taken you unawares. Now who will you choose?” I regained the lost strength all at once, b
Last Updated : 2024-11-01Dear ex-husband, you will regret this Chapter 46. IT'S NOT THE FINAL MOMENT YET
Jasmine's POVI was at a bar where I was quietly meditating over what had happened the previous day.It all came like a flash, like it just happened at the last minute.I couldn't even go to work today, as I know I wouldn't be able to concentrate even if I did.“Besides, what is the work for?” I whispered under my breath bitterly.All the plans had been ruined by Mr. Williams, and Mr. Ken, on the other hand, hadn't been able to get anything tangible yet for me.Though I have been acting all strong just to reassure myself that there was no love in the first place, so why would I have to bother so much if things wouldn't work the way I had planned, but...To think I could lie to myself!That wasn't making any sense at all.On a second thought, what seemed to be the painful part was not avenging my father's death, which was how it all started.Right now, I was drawn in-between trying to know the main reason for the pain that was about to swallow the better side of me.If it's love per sa

Luciano's POV“Yeah, I am fine. I am confident that I will also overcome this challenge. Jasmine assured me.We were both at a restaurant that she had requested I should see her.Hearing how depressed she had sounded over the phone, though she tried so much to hide it in the tone of her voice, I knew there was a problem.She didn't need to do too much before I knew she was all hurt and wanted someone to talk to.Jasmine was busy taking tons of glass filled with liquor nonstop from the moment we got to the restaurant till now.All the while I have known her, she has never been this saddened.I think she must have believed that taking the alcohol would seize the pain that she felt inside, as she took it like her life was dependent on it.Not wanting to say so much to me, but since she had at least disclosed the nitty-gritty of the problem, I didn't need to stir her up with questions regarding that.I fully understood that she was only taking it to calm her nerves, but I really doubt if

Luciano's POVJasmine had passed out on my way to the hospital; almost immediately I kicked off of the restaurant.I was so scared out of my wits because I had never experienced this before, and this made me double my speed limit to reach the hospital in no time.As soon as I got to the hospital, she was attended to quickly by the doctor and some nurses, and so I was made to stay outside the hospital corridors on instruction.Now, I wouldn't know why the doctor was taking a little time to get to me.I kept pacing back and forth from one corner of the corridor to the other, impatiently waiting to see the doctor and get some feedback.At least to know what just delayed the examination of one who only had a hangover and subsequently passed out.But on second thought, I think the doctor was simply doing their job.The door of the room swayed open gently, and immediately my side eyes caught sight of the doctor at once.I moved hastily in his direction, “Doctor, how is she? Besides, why did

Ethan’s POVI was walking down the aisle with Bella, really wishing thoughtfully that I had a choice.Deep down, I knew a part of me was making a grave mistake, but I was stuck and left with no option at this point.I wouldn't lose my dad for anything, but then I just hope I wouldn't regret taking this decision that would be able to make or mar my life to a greater level.Bella, seeing how unconcentrated I had looked, called me out of the reverie, “Ethan, so I can finally marry you.”It was more of a mocking relaxed tone, knowing how much I had detest her recently and so she wouldn't mind rubbing it off my face if she gets the opportunity to do so.I looked away from her, obviously snubbing her with shrugged shoulders.“Long overdue nuptial bliss between Ethan and Bella.”“Finally.”“I always knew that the Archer and Scott's family would end up as in-laws, no matter what.”The slight talks and cheers from the crowd continued while I kept walking with a straight face till we came in co

Jasmine's POVLuciano must have thought that all he had said to me at the hospital bed sank in, but what would I gain coming this long and then change my mind just like that?I wanted to take everyone by surprise, and that was the plan.You know that feeling of catching people unaware without prior information.There are these sparks of ripples of waves that it sends down their adrenaline even without doing too much.With the help of Mr. Ken, I got to know that Bella and Martin had an affair earlier on so the latter would accept to convince Ethan not to get married to me.Mr. Ken was able to get a video of them, and so it was like using a stone to kill two birds as I had other plans ongoing, holding on for the day to strike.But then, all along, I understood one thing, which was knowing how strong Ethan has stood for me even without having to say that often to my face.And now, I think, coming to disclose these little secrets to him would be my own part to play for the both of us.I g

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
