Ex-fiance's regret chapter 14.
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. The rou

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

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

DIANAHe was the last person I needed to see right now.He turned to me, something flashing in his eyes as he stared me up and down. What the hell was he doing here?“What are you doing here?” I frowned at him, my grip on my bag tighter as I stopped some feet away from him.“Don’t start thinking I’m here for you, Diana.” Kevin scoffed. “I came here to take what belongs to me.”“Which is?” I raised a brow, tired and irritated from the whole day.“A frame.” He said simply. “The one with the gold inlays.” “Too bad, Kevin. I threw it out.” I pursed my lips. Why would he think I’d still keep anything that belonged to him here?“Are you kidding me, Diana?’ His outburst shouldn’t have shocked me, it’s the exact same way he behaved when we were together, but it did anyway. “The least you could have done was come over and returned the damn thing!”“When you left, I imagined you’d taken all you felt was of value to you-“ everything that wasn’t me. “-so a plain frame shouldn’t ruffle your feat

DIANA.How much farther must you climb till fear settles?How much farther till it disappears?For a moment I didn’t know what to say. I just stared like an absolute fool as they stared back at me. I couldn’t help gawking at the woman he had in his arms.She was beautiful.Drastically so..Her wavy blond hair flowed like honey down her back, bright eyes and a perfect heart shaped face, lips full and red. But that wasn’t what held my attention.It was her skin.Porcelain white, like a perfect Chinese pottery.Not a single blemish. Not a single scar.‘‘Diana.’’ He pulled me out of my thoughts, his brow furrowing slightly as I stood. ‘Is there something I can help you with?’‘‘I-’’ I pulled my gaze away from the woman, and back to him. ‘‘I would like to speak with you, sir..in private, please.’’ He only turned to the woman, letting go of her as he spoke.‘I’ll meet you at the hotel.’ The woman pouted, obviously annoyed but she nodded anyway. She looked at me, sizing me up from my head

DIANA Reason seemed to have flown out of the window and by the time it was crawling back in, he had already entered the apartment. One look around and I knew Lily wasn’t home. The fact that she hadn’t even left a note made me slightly worried. She was here before I left, and she hadn't mentioned going anywhere.That was odd.. I slipped out my phone from my pant pockets, sending a quick message to her;*Hey, did something happen?*“I'm sorry if my apartment is too small..’ I mumbled to him as I returned the phone, watching him as he stared round. Did he think it was messy? Was the style not to his liking? Was the furnishing too old for him? “I can manage.” He smirked, sitting on my couch and crossing his legs like he owned the place. I crossed my fingers, staring down at him in awkward silence.“Uhm, would you like Chinese?” I raised a brow, “Pizza?”He stated at me like I'd said something funny.“You want to order?” He leaned back, a smile playing on his lips.“Yeah.” I pursed my

DIANA It burnt the moment his lips touched mine, like gold on embers, heating up to the highest degree but never melting away, never scarring. I felt this heat circulate through my body, settling in my belly. It was a volcanic eruption, a force to behold, one I did not have the strength to contend with. My lips parted as his tongue broke through, filling my mouth with the taste of untamed passion, void of any hint of inhibition, a feeling I had never known. His hold on my waist tightened as he pulled me closer to his chest, deepening the kiss. A moan fled from my lips in response, and it seemed to have riled up something in him. He groaned and he placed one hand on my ass, squeezing it hard, and the other hand wrapped itself around my throat, slightly choking me. I gasped as he pulled away from me, his grey eyes locked with mine, wild with desire. In that moment I believed more than anything that he wanted me, badly. No one has ever looked at me in such a way, so needy for me.

DIANA Oh shit! Oh shit!My heart pounded in my chest as I gripped the door handle tightly. What was he doing here?? Of all days to come, why today??? My eyes shot in his direction as he came out of the room, “Who is it?” He asked a single brow raised.“It’s a friend.” I blurt out, and his eyes go to my hand on the door handle. “What friend?” He questioned as he made his way towards me. “No, no you cannot see him!” I rushed forward, placing my hands on his chest in an attempt to stop him from opening the door. I wasn’t afraid of him seeing David. I was afraid of David seeing him.“Him?” His brow furrowed, displeasure so clear in his tone.“It’s someone from work, it’s not what you think.” I said hurriedly as my back pressed against the door.“Is it that same guy I saw you with?” I felt my heart palpitate at the way his gaze hardened.“Yes, but like I said, he's just a friend.” My laugh comes out shaky as I try to reason. “Then tell your friend you can see at work.” He stressed,

Ex-fiance's regret chapter 70.
DIANA It was Mr. Leota at the door. He didn’t have the usual smirk on his face, he looked serious… too serious.“You’re here…” I mumbled. He didn’t say anything, just walking past me into my apartment.My heart pounded as I stood by the doorway, turning to him slowly as I shut the door.Did he already know?He wasn’t even looking my way, his back was turned to me instead, and my mind raced as I imagined what he’d do next.Would he yell? Cuss me out? Fire me? The suspense was killing me as I stood there.Finally, he turned to face me, walking towards me and closing the gap between us as my breath hitched.“I wasn’t expecting you to come here..” I watered my lips, staring at him with drawn brows.“Why?” He only raised a brow.“You were with your friend, so…” I looked away, hiding the anxiety I felt.“Hm.” He hummed, his eyes regarding me for a moment.“You guys seem really close...” I swallowed, my gaze flashing to his for a moment to catch his reaction.“We are.” The smile that rose
Ex-fiance's regret chapter 69.
DIANAI tried so hard to conceal the shock on my face, as I stared at the man before me. He was almost the same height as Mr Leota, tall with a lean figure, his perfectly cut beard framing dark eyes that eyed me in judgement.I hoped deep down as I stared at the man that Mr. Leota was mistaken. What kind of Ill luck did I have??“Nice to meet you.” I managed to say said with a shaky smile, but he didn’t smile back, he only nodded and turned to Mr. Leota, completely ignoring me.“Shall we go?” He raised a brow. “-we’ll miss the reservation if we spend more time here.”“Relax, old man, we’ll make it in time.”Mr Leota waved him off with a scoff.Old man? I stared at the man with slightly raised brows.How old was this guy exactly?“You say that everytime and we miss it everytime.” Ryan rolled his eyes.“Have a little faith in me.” Mr Leota smirked.“And where exactly has that gotten me?” He raised a brow at him.“Desperately in love with me.” My eyes widened as Mr Leota nudged him sligh
Ex-fiance's regret chapter 68.
DIANA I had this pressing urge to slap whoever just knocked on the door, but to also thank them - who knows what would have happened if we had gone on with it… I tried to distance myself from him, but his grip was rock solid.“Mr. Leota, there’s someone at the door.” I tried prying his hands away, but he didn’t even budge.“And?” He raised a brow, shifting closer:“They’re probably here to see you.” I furrowed my brows in amusement at his nonchalance.“Then they can wait.” Then he leaned in, placing kisses on my neck, each one a spark flying through my body.“They could w-walk in at a-any moment.” I managed to breath out, desperately holding on to the last thread of restraint in my head. “I don’t mind that.” His hands around my waist fastened their grip, with no plans to release me.“Well, I do.” I strained to say, my voice coming out weak and airy. He wasn’t listening to me. His tongue danced on my neck like a paintbrush on a canvas, I couldn’t tell what he was painting, but all
Ex-fiance's regret chapter 67
DIANA Why must the universe always be against me???“Whatever nonsense you have to spew from that smelly mouth of yours can wait, I have a meeting to be at.” I scoffed, rolling my eyes at his scowling face.“So you think you can talk to me anyhow you see fit??” He took a step closer as his scowl deepened, his grip firm on my arm. “I would have said worse if I had more time.” I sneered. I tried to release myself from his grip, but it was futile. “Let go of me!” I frowned at him as I let out a breath.“What did you do to get into his bed??” He practically spat out, his eyes wide in rage.“I’m not having this conversation with you.” I pressed my lips together, turning to the side in irritation.“Answer me!!” He yelled, his tone dark as he pulled me closer.“I owe you no explanation! You hear me??” I pulled back, my anger rising as I stared at him. “None.”“So the rumors were true after all?” He smirked bitterly suddenly, “-you did find at fuck your way into the company.”“Kevin!” I ex
Ex-fiance's regret chapter 66.
DIANA The kisses were cold, the ones the wind left sporadically on my skin as I stood by the window of my apartment. A heavy sigh left my lips as I watched the sight before me - it was nothing like Paris. The streets of Paris would have brought out the artist in me, if I had stayed a bit longer. I would have filled pages with the unmatched charm they had to offer. I would give anything to go back there…To him. Was Paris really beautiful, or was it just him? The way he made me feel? The way everything he did made me believe I was special? That i was the only one he’d ever do those things for? Then there was a knock on the door, that pulled me out of my thoughts.I walked over to the door, wondering who it was when I opened it.My eyes widened as I came face to face with Kevin, my heart skipping a beat at the two figures behind him, their faces concealed with masks.“What are you doing here?” I felt utter fear at the sight, but I held my ground, staring Kevin dead in face.“To pu
Ex-fiance's regret chapter 65.
DIANA What was he doing here??? I stopped in my tracks when I saw Kevin outside the restaurant, his back turned to us.“Dee, don’t engage, let’s just leave.” Lily shook her head frantically as she pulled me away.“Can’t I have one day-” I scoffed in irritation. “-Just one day free of this asshole??” “Don’t let him ruin your day Dee, let’s go.” Lily held my hand, her eyes pleading as she led us away. I frowned at her, my eyes lifting to Kevin’s figure ahead.“Were you asking me to leave because of him?” I scoffed, staring at her with a scowl.“What, no! That’s not it ,” She turned to look at Kevin. “I’ll explain when we get to your apartment, but I don’t want a scene.” She stressed, leading us away.“You think I’d cause a scene?” My lips parted in disbelief.“When you and Kevin are in the same room? Yes, the both of you will cause a scene-” She pursed her lips, staring round. “-and we can’t have that with your current situation.” She shook her head.“What do you mean?” I took a step

The flight back home was beyond soothing.It was just me in the jet, with the exception of the flight attendant and the pilots, but that was okay. I rested my head against the soft seat, staring at the departing city of Paris with a faint smile.I can’t believe I just traveled to Paris.For a date. I shook my head, turning back to the empty space of the jet, still in disbelief.My gaze wandered a bit too many times to Mr Leota's seat opposite mine, and I bit my inner cheek at the empty seat. I’m already missing him..I sighed, leaning back as I thought about everything that had happened. How chaotic can one date go? We traveled, he bought a freaking mansion, we had a date on a boat, I nearly drowned, we had another date at a restaurant he completely booked, and now..Now I’m here.On my way back. Alone.What was so important that he couldn’t come back with me?I didn’t want to know the answer, staring out the window as the buildings shrank as we flew higher, and eventually the smoot
Ex-fiance's regret chapter 63.
DIANA I gaped at him in disbelief. He couldn’t be serious.“You booked the whole restaurant???” I stared at him wide eyed.“Don’t you like the privacy?” Mr Leota cocked his head to the side.“That’s not the point, Mr. Leota!” I let out a breath, staring at him in disbelief.“This soufflé is really good.” He said calmly, taking a spoon into his mouth, completely disregarding what I said. “Are you always like this?” I chuckled, shaking my head slightly.“Charming? Yes, all the time.” He smirked as he sipped his champagne.“I meant do you always go above and beyond for a woman?” I rolled my eyes, leaning back.“You think this is above and beyond?” He raised a brow. “If this isn’t, then what is?” My brows drew together to a slight frown.“Something I can’t pay for.” He said, his voice was low as he stared at the dish.“And what’s that?” I couldn’t stop my curiosity when I asked, raising the spoon to my lips.“Something I do not have to give.” He sounded guarded as he revealed, meeting
Ex-fiance's regret chapter 62.
DIANA My eyes were stuck to the window, watching the buildings pass me by as we drove.I couldn’t even look at him.Why was I feeling this way? Like I wasn’t in his arms the night before.The last time I’d slept that peacefully was when he slept with me in my apartment , and for some reason, I thought I’d never experience that again. And yet here I was..I turned to him, watching him quietly as he drove, how his hands gripped the steering wheel… how much I envied the steering wheel- DIANA! “What happened to the driver?” I swallowed, tearing my gaze away from his hands.“I fired him.” Mr Leota said plainly.“Why?” I stared at him in shock, my brows drawn together. “Did he do something? “His services are no longer needed.” Was his inly explanation.“I see…” I mumbled, but i couldn’t help thinking that he only fired him because of that incident. “Is it because of what happened last night?” I asked, blurting out exactly what I was thinking.“It’s safer not having a third party arou
