Ex-fiance's regret chapter 7.
DIANA When the heart speaks, do you listen? Or do you lock it in a coffin? I chose the latter. And the words left my mouth before I could even register it. His brows creased in confusion, “What?” “I don’t think we’ve met.” I say feigning ignorance, my voice steady. “Four months ago, we had a drink at Wiko bar. One night stand?” He eyed me carefully. “Sorry I don’t recall. If it did happen, then I was probably too drunk to remember anything.” I shrug, wearing a mask of composure. He searched my eyes for a sign, something that betrayed my words. If I stared into his eyes any longer, my resolve would break. If I wasn’t careful, those eyes would be my undoing.I clear my throat nervously “Sir, this is the first time we’re meeting. I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else.” I reiterated firmly.His eyes lingered, igniting sparks in parts of me that had gone dark - parts that I wished so hard to forget. Then he leaned in, his hot breath against my ear made my breath hitch. “I

DIANA How long must you drown an emotion in denial to be forgotten? It seems this emotion is refusing to drown. I stared at the flowers before me - they were over 30 bouquets! “Are you sure you have the right address?” I asked skeptically. “Yes, you’re Miss Diana, correct?” “Yes I am.” “Then it’s for you, can you please sign here?” He offered me the book and I signed absentmindedly, just overwhelmed in awe. As he turned away, I called out “Excuse me, who are these from?” “He didn't disclose his name ma’am.” He replied. “Hm, thank you.” I murmured, my brows furrowed. Where in the world was I going to put all these flowers? “What are you still doing at the - oh my god!” She gasped when she saw the flowers. “You didn’t tell me you were seeing someone!!” She teased, nudging me with her elbow as her eyes twinkled. “Because I’m not.” I stated firmly. “So why would someone send you over 20 bouquets of flowers when you’re not even…” her voice trailed off and her eyes widened i

DIANA Is there ever a moment of absolute healing? Or is it nothing but a myth?He called me 2 times last night. I could only stare at it as it rang. What was there to say? What was he calling for? To rub more salt in my wound? Remind me of how undeserving I am of him? Of his love? Or did he call to apologize? Don’t be delusional. The heavens must have collapsed before Kevin apologizes. “Diana, any suggestions?” A voice called me out of my thoughts I clear my throat lightly, “On?” “The design theme for the 30th year anniversary of the company.” “Oh yes, I was thinking we’d go more futuristic. The decor should depict times ahead of the present, a way of showing the world Leota Industries is innovative and ahead of the times.” I suggested, regaining my focus. Nods of approval were given by the members of the PR committee framing the light brown mahogany table. “I’ll contact some artists and designers that specialize in this theme, and I’ll send the samples to you, so we can w

JEROME “We should merge with Golde Empire - it’s the best course of action for the company.” He mentioned, his voice laced with certainty.“I see no reason to do that,” I responded resolutely, my voice staunch. “We need to expand to other states, and signing this deal with Golde Empire would make that happen.” He argued. “We can expand on our own. Collaborating with them would only sink my company, and I will not have that.” I declared. “I believe you should reconsider.” He suggested, “I truly do not care what you believe.” I retorted coldly, my tone dismissive. He scoffed, “You're just as stubborn as your father.”“And he built an empire alone.” I stated. “Alone?? I was there in the shadows lifting him when no one else did.” He exclaimed “Well I’m not aware of that, and I couldn’t care less. What I do know is that if you truly cared about the company, you wouldn’t suggest such.” I replied sharply “If this company crumbles, I go down too. This is our legacy and - “ “Our?” I

DIANA How deep must your heart be buried to avoid resurrection? How much of your fear and denial do you have to tie to your heart to make sure it sinks to the bottom of the ocean, never to come afloat? As his lips touched mine, fireworks went off in my belly. The feelings I’d tried so hard to lock in a compartment of my mind to be buried and forgotten, they came flooding back to me like a robust tidal wave. But it wasn’t the same as that night, this time, it was different. There was this undeniable ferocity in the way our tongues danced rhythmically with fiery passion and our hearts violently raced in vigor. His hands held my waist tightly, pulling me closer to his broad chest, deepening the kiss. Against reason, my arms wrapped themselves around his neck, my hand gripping his silky dirty blonde and a low groan escaped from his throat.He tightened his hold on my waist and his hands gripped my ass, and a moan fled my lips, my lower belly aching in desperate need to be touched.

DIANA It was harder than I thought. The past five days have been more difficult than I expected. Suddenly I see him everywhere. In the hallway, in my dreams. Anytime I’d enter a room he had been in, I was enveloped by his musky vanilla scent still lingering in the air, probably waiting for me to inhale it and let it settle in my brain - a high I never thought I’d need. Today was not any better. I was walking to one of the conference rooms to have a meeting with the PR committee, to run the designs for the event with her; and then I saw him. He was wearing a grey tuxedo with a black tie, his dirty blonde hair slicked back. He had a smile on his face as he spoke on the phone. I wonder who he was talking to that made him smile that way. Probably one of his many lovers. Did I actually expect to be the only one he kissed? He was probably fucking someone that wasn’t me. His eyes turned to me and winked, and all the seething anger growing in me transformed into a tingling sensati

JEROME How much fire do you need to cause a devastating explosion? Just a spark. Just the sight of her is enough spark to ignite an explosion in me. It’s never this hard for me. It’s been so long that I’d forgotten this primal feeling, this irrational craving for a woman, this dire need to be around her, to hold her, to take her in ways too profane to tell a soul. How did I get here? A ringing sound pulls me out of my thoughts, “I thought you’d finally kicked me to the curb.” I smiled as I answered the call.Ryan laughed, “I’m heavily considering it, I had things to attend to so I couldn’t pick up”“Please tell me it’s a woman.” He scoffed, “Remember our deal? Until you get married, by some divine intervention of the universe, then we’ll see.”“That's not happening old man, stop hoping.” “Why do you keep calling me that? I’m just a year older than you.”“Exactly, older. Meaning old man. And you definitely look way over forty five” I grinned.“That’s because you stress the yout

DIANA As he said those words, it felt like a dagger in the heart, and as he retreated, the ache intensified. So he was fucking other women? Why did a small part of me believe otherwise?How foolish of me. It’s not like there was anything substantial between us, so why was I bothered? Why did the thought of him with another woman in his arms irk me this much? He could sleep with a thousand women for all I cared. It’s none of my business. What we had was fleeting, a moment of weakness. Giving it any more substantial weight than that was stupid.I walked out of the office, blinded by pure anger. I needed to get away from this constant reminder of him in the atmosphere. I found a café some blocks away from the company. I pushed the door open, the jingle of the bell ahead oddly soothing, the whole place was small, but not enough to make me feel claustrophobic, just cool and light, with smooth cream and white walls, and soft golden light fixtures, like a home away from home.

Ex-fiance's regret chapter 16.
DIANA It hurt. It hurt so much. The flames danced around me like it was listening to a song. A melody I was not privy to. It would have been a beautiful sight, but not from where I was standing. The tongues of fire wrapped themselves around me, their hold possessive. Immediately my skin peeled off my flesh, leaving my bones bare to the flames. But it was cold. So cold, like a glacier on my bones. I began to shiver in the sea of flames, my tears extinguished before they reached the embers beneath my feet. “Look at what you’ve become.” I heard his voice echo around me. “You will always be a monster!” “Please stop.” I whimpered as I buried my face in my hands. “You will burn forever!!!” “Stop!! Stop!! Stop!! - “ I screamed from the top of my lungs, my eyes burning with tears. And suddenly I felt arms around me, a warmth I craved deeply in the midst of the fire. “Princess, just hold on okay?” His voice softly wrapped itself around my heart, shielding it from the blaze within

JEROME “Jay, I’ve missed you so much.” Her sultry voice filled my ear. “Likewise.” I responded, blandly.“You said we’d see two weeks ago, I even wore the purple lingerie you liked - and you cancelled on me.” I could already see her pouting.“Something came up.” I replied, my eyes trailing her as she walked into the café. “And when has that ever stopped you?” Why was she taking so long in the café? Was she meeting up with someone? Probably the bastard I saw touch her in the hallway. I felt the anger rise in my veins. “10pm. Marrison Hotel. Same room.” “Promise you won’t stand me up this time, because I’m getting all dolled up for you jay.” “Hm.” I responded absentmindedly, my eyes on café.She was still inside.“Jay I was thinking… why don’t we do something different tonight?” “What?” I asked annoyed. “We’ve never made love in your home before, and we’ve been doing this for a while now, don’t you think it’s - “ “My home is off limits. You know this.” I said firmly. “I jus
