Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 204
Chris' POVI gripped my phone tightly, swiping the screen slowly as I finished reading the news paragraph. I then pressed the video link at the article's bottom, taking my phone screen to another app.The video rotated. I skipped past the part about the opening of another family business that I didn't want to know about and went straight to the beautiful Nicole and the jerk next to her. It stated that they were now officially engaged."What the hell?" I took a shaky breath, unable to believe the information I had accidentally found. "This can't be serious."I pressed the button on my phone screen to redirect me back to the article. The names of the Duncan and Thompson Families were listed there, as was the name of the ignorant man at the centre of this article. I saw Nicole's name tucked in there, as well as the word fiancé," which was a blur to my eyes.Most of the comments congratulated the couple I didn't want to recognise. I couldn't read all the comments, which felt like they wer

Chris' POVI woke up with a sore head and a stiff neck. The shouting could still be heard, but I didn't want to open my eyes."Chris! What happened to you, my son?" The annoying voice came closer and finally opened my bedroom door. The sound of sobbing could also be heard as she continued to speak more softly. "Why have you become like this?"I didn't want to, but I opened my eyes reluctantly. After all, I already knew that the person babbling at me from earlier was my mother, as no one else would visit my house without any notice like she often did.The ageing woman tried to grab my hand with teary eyes, but I quickly brushed her hand away. I didn't want anyone to touch me carelessly, including my own mother. A sudden feeling of annoyance welled inside me when I saw the woman before me.Although my head still felt dizzy and the influence of alcohol was still in my bloodstream, I remembered that my mother was one of the people who had tortured Nicole a few years ago. She hated the wom

Nicole's POVI exhaled, looking at the warm coffee between my hands and its thin puff of smoke. I felt much more alive after coming out of my room.After the engagement ceremony, the next day, I quickly returned to reality, to my unfinished work and some new project offers that would benefit the company greatly, but now also felt like a double-edged sword.On the one hand I was happy, while on the other hand I felt physically tired more easily. Matthew, the man who used to be my lover, but is now my fiancé is also busy with his work so we haven't been able to meet. I missed him, but knew that he might not have time with me for a while.When someone approached me, I had just taken a sip of my coffee, tasting the right mix of thick and sweet and the warmth that washed down my throat. I set down my coffee cup with little sound.The man smiled. "I found you again, Nicole."My eyes widened in disbelief as I stared at the figure before me. I didn't expect to see an old man wearing a dull-lo

Nicole's POVI tried to control myself, but the unbearable pain in my head made me fall off the chair and hit the floor of the cafe veranda hard. I didn't feel much pain from it with my headache, but my vision seemed blurry.I stared at my vaguely shaped hand, then lifted my gaze towards the noise that was still nearby. I vaguely saw Smith dealing with another figure, pointing and opening his mouth several times.I couldn't hear what they were saying because their voices were mixed. What was clear was that the figure seemed to push the old man until he almost fell down, but the stubborn man was still able to maintain his balance and shouted back at the figure, who was still unknown."Ugh!" I groaned softly, feeling the headache I was currently feeling increase with time until I looked down again, holding on to the table leg tightly to endure the pain.Someone out of nowhere lifted me up in his arms after grabbing me from underneath, holding me in a safe position. I blinked, trying to

Nicole's POVI felt anxious as I waited for the results of all the tests I had taken. It wasn't like I was expecting to go through just one set of tests, but several tests with subtests were in each area to check my overall condition.All the tests went well, but as I went through them, the doctor's expression became more serious, and I became a little worried. He didn't say anything; he just smiled and asked me and the people accompanying me to return to the room to wait for the results.Matthew held my hand, smiling a little to calm me down, clearly displaying my emotions. "We just need to wait a little longer," he said.I nodded, knowing well, even though it couldn't ease my feelings.I had thought that my condition must not be far from fine. I'm sure I'm just tired and a little stressed out, not to mention that I haven't been getting enough rest lately and that Richard could realize it.I've also been through many complex things that aren't easy for anyone to do, but it hasn't mad

Chris' POVI exhaled, thoughts of Nicole, who I hadn't seen in a few days, weighing heavily on my mind. She seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace despite my thorough search of her usual haunts.The office where she worked daily had said that the woman had not been present for the last few days except for her secretary, who I did not ask any further questions about because I myself had been watching this office for several days.I deliberately came early every morning, wanting to meet the woman before she started work so we could go somewhere else to talk to the two of us. There were many things I wanted to ask and tell her, but the woman I wanted to talk to never showed up as usual again. I never even met his secretary, as the receptionist said.When I went to his house, the servants stopped me from going further if they said he was not at home."Miss Nicole is not here. You must leave, sir." The butler, who looked like the butler, said sternly, bowing his head polit

Chris' POV"Well, as we spoke before, Mr. Daniel," I said, extending my hand to a middle-aged man across from me.I hadn't gotten any information from Evan and had opted to meet with my company's newest partner on the food floor of a five-star hotel. He was staying with his wife, so we decided to meet here.I was doing this to make things easier and for my own benefit.The man welcomed my hand in his, smiling slightly. "My secretary will soon send the contract letter to your office, Mr. Grant.""Okay."We chatted about the project we had signed up for. I had already worked with him a few times, so I had no worries, but there were a few things we could discuss before starting the project together for the third time.It is now also the third day that I have been searching for Nicole's whereabouts, but she still hasn't shown up, and my secretary hasn't given me the latest information I requested.I knew that the Duncan Family's information security was top-notch, but I didn't want to giv

Edwin's POV"He is easy to take care of, Nicole. I'll pay him so that he won't refuse to help," I said, trying to reassure my daughter, who was still sitting reclined on her bed.Matthew and Richard had already returned after the doctor advised my son to rest first, as well as Key, who was accompanying my grandson, who was still saddened by his mother's condition. I was still here to convince her of the things that she still doubted or didn't want to do for her recovery.Nicole looked at me, shaking her head and looking disapproving. "That's not necessary, Father. I don't need that man's help, and you don't need to waste your money paying him."We were talking about the biological father of the woman I had saved from a terrible accident, Smith Martinez, from a family that had given him a horrific past. He seemed so confident even though his life was on the line, but there was no way I could let this go on because the woman's return to health was far more critical to me.Her tireless h
