Her Ex-husband's Regret CHAPTER 11
CHAPTER 11 Serene It is my second week at work, and I am liking the company's vibe. I can not believe these dudes are still looking at me like I am 16 when I am growing so old. My birthday is almost approaching, and I recall how alone I felt on that day when I was with Diego. I would have thought that he was staying out late to surprise me, but he was actually doing it to keep me away from him. Sometimes I feel like I was so blinded by one-sided love that I overlooked the fact that Diego did not love me. Fortunately, things have changed, and I will spend my birthday with the most valuable person in my life, aside from Charlotte and Neina. My child is that person; I am not sure what gender it is, but knowing that I love them intensely even when I can not see them brings me so much joy. It is 7 a.m Friday, and I have to be at work by 9 a.m. I hurriedly sprang out of bed and rushed to the shower. I could see how lethargic my eyes appeared in the mirror, but I needed to seem good beca

CHAPTER 12Serene The lift doors opened, and I stepped out into my office. I instantly grabbed my phone and followed my agents inside the boarding room. While everyone else waited, I went directly to the one seat that was clearly mine. The door opened, and someone I did not expect to see walked in. His gaze met mine, and I got shivers. He came in and sat next to me. Lift, his aroma enveloped me and everyone else close to him, and he turned to my side and grinned at me. The agent, on the other hand, smiled at him, believing he was smiling at her. Our boss stepped up and eventually introduced the man I ran into as the company's largest shareholder and a key figure. We waited for the conference to end, and everyone began leaving the boarding room as I packed my things. His stare caught mine, and I experienced goosebumps.I entered my office and took a sip of water. “Serene, please calm down. What exactly are you doing?" I whispered to myself, biting my nails and going over my ideas.

CHAPTER 13Serene "What did he just come to my place?" I asked myself, while cautiously opening the door."Good evening, madam. I am looking for Ms. Serene Brights," the man waiting at the door stated to me. I knew he was a puzzle driver merely by glancing at his clothing and reading what was printed on his batch."Is everything OK, Ma'am?" He questioned, perhaps assuming something was amiss with his outfit after I gazed at it for about two minutes."Oh sure, everything is fine. My name is Serene Brights," I said, my mind racing with inquiries.The delivery lad walked to his vehicle and returned with a present bag. He handed it to me, and I immediately signed the paperwork before he departed. Doubts about the present bag being mine began to wash over me. I had not opened it yet, but I could see how expensive everything inside was. I unzipped the bag and withdrew the first box, which contained a stunning dazzling diamond necklace. I held it out and ran my fingertips along its borders.

CHAPTER 14Serene It is Saturday, and I need to finish off all the cleaning. My flat is not huge, but I am delighted it will be plenty for my child and myself. There are also two spare rooms available for Neina and Charlotte to stay in during their vacation. I stood on the sofa and turned on the television. A wonderful video of a renowned family on vacation was aired, and I could see how happy they were, only to find myself wishing it was us. I promptly changed the channel and switched to watching some cartoons for a time. I checked the clock and it was almost 4 p.m. Max Cruz and I are going to meet. He may assume it is a date, but I just want to make it obvious that I do not want his presents or any of the drama that comes with his trying on me. 'Maybe I should tell Neina about it,' I thought to myself before dialing her number."Hello," she said from the other end."Hello, how are you?" I remarked to her:"I am OK; I just miss you, and Charlotte has already left for the market, Ser

CHAPTER 15Serene "Ms. Brights, come down," he said, beckoning the waiter to come.I did not come to have long chats; I just wanted to return his presents and make it plain that I am very uncomfortable with how he is acting. I cleared my throat and could not dispute that the meal delivered by the server smelled excellent, but I could not bring myself to touch it."Is everything okay?" he questioned, twisting his pasta and looking at me."Yes, everything is good, Mr. Cruz. I just wanted to tell you something.""Oh, I see; I would rather that you call me Max," he insisted."Okay, Max, I would like to explain things," I said sincerely."You sound serious, Ms. Brights; what is bothering you?"“Mr. Cruz I would like to tell you that I am quite uncomfortable with the way you have been acting around me lately," I said, taking a deep breath."What?""I am not interested in getting things from you," I said, staring into his eyes."Come down, Ms. Brights; I think you are taking things incorrec

CHAPTER 16Diego 'I am not sure if I am overreacting or Nelly is not simply keeping up with making the room look presentable. Everything is simply laying about, and it is so untidy that I sometimes have to look for spoiled food in the room. Things like these make me wish she had some of Serene's attributes, like how she always made sure the room was beautifully organized and everything was in its place. I told myself this while I sat in my library."Diego!" Nelly called while I was in the library.I found her comfortably situated on the couch, I raced to find out what she needed. "Look, I wish it was just the two of us," she said, pointing to the television, which showed a family joyfully smiling in the Himalayas. "What do you mean, we should start a family?""No, not at all—I mean, not right now; I simply wanted us to travel there for our honeymoon," she answered."Uhm OK, I thought you wanted us to start a family," I responded."Diego, please do not start; you know what my reacti

CHAPTER 17Diego It is 2 a.m., and Nelly has not yet come home. I realize that she enjoys freedom, but she didn't have to leave until this late. Every day, New York becomes more dangerous, and it is no longer safe to go outside. Being with Nelly appears to be a source of stress, but what can I do? I do not want to lose her for the second time; I am confident she will change with time. I walked downstairs and watched my favorite series, hoping to hear a knock on the door, but there was none. I attempted to make some breakfast despite my dislike for cooking, but for Nelly, I began to compromise somewhat.I strolled into the bedroom and put some items back in the closet as I remembered how Serene did it. I straightened the vase of flowers at the window and packed Nelly's shoes where Serene normally placed hers. Time was passing, and Nelly had not yet returned home; perhaps I should go check where she is, I reasoned, and grabbed my vehicle keys. Just as I approached the main door, I coul

CHAPTER 18Serene I am far too late for work. I only hope my agents did all I requested them to do. I instantly got up and requested that the driver pick me up within the next 40 minutes. I dashed into the shower and opened the faucet, allowing the warm water to flow down my skin. I could sense my baby's movements. 'Calm down, little one, mother is going to get ready for work,' I whispered in my head. I finished quickly and grabbed a towel to dry myself. I promptly went to my room and sorted through my clothing. My hair was still wet, so I hurriedly blew it dry and attempted to curl it. My makeup was almost done, so I dressed up and applied it fast. I stepped in front of the dressing mirror and could not believe how beautiful I looked.I could not help but smile when I realized I looked like a model. 'Seems like it is starting to show,' I said, referring to my pregnancy. I picked up my heels and put them on. Since all of the paperwork I needed was downstairs, I went to the kitchen an

CHAPTER 95Nelly When I was released from jail, I went to live at Diego's mansion for weeks and days without seeing Diego. The rascal I used to spoil with all the money I stole from Diego abandoned me for someone else. I can not believe he used my money 2 to move on with someone else, knowing that I divorced my husband for him. I will just wait until Diego arrives and then use my emotional games to get to his heart. There is no way he will reject me after all those years I spent in jail. I know he will forgive me, and I will do my best to take every asset I can get my hands on; Diego Myers is someone I have studied to the fullest extent. As for George, he will be the first person I fire if Diego gives me another chance; how dare he tell me Serene is with Diego?I have been living in this mansion for the past three months, and Diego has yet to return. I am sure he went to make money for Serene. I am sure Serene is either back in her village or living under a shark in London. Diego Mye

CHAPTER 94DiegoThe party has ended, and everyone has gone to sleep. I was standing on the opposite side of the bed as Serene read Miguel a bedtime story. What could be better than watching the two people who bring you complete joy? I know that does not sound like me, but the time I have spent with Serene has made me realize how much more I could have had if I had allowed her to experience my love. I was still thinking when she cleared her throat and told me to leave Miguel's bedroom."Maybe we should talk, Serene," I suggested as she closed the door."Do not forget, Mr. Myers, that you are only here because Miguel needs you. If that was not the case, I believe you know where you would be right now," Serene said, attempting to walk away, but I caught her arm."You might not want to do that, sir," one of her guards told me, patting me.“OK, fine. I'm sorry, Serene. I need you to give me a chance to discuss things.”"Please show Mr. Myers out; I am sure it is exhaustion causing all tha

CHAPTER 93Serene The doctor finally discharged Miguel and we took him home in a wheelchair. Just as we got home, the entire living room was dark, and I wondered if there was a power outage or something. “Mommy, what happened to the lights?” Miguel asked, looking confused.“I don't know, sweetie, let me quickly find out,” I replied, attempting to switch on my phone's torch when the lights went on, and I realized all Miguel's friends had come to welcome him. “Surprise!” everyone exclaimed and I couldn't help but clap along.“Hi, Ms. Brights,” the little children greeted me.“Hello, how are you, little angels?” I asked.“We're fine thanks,” they responded.Miguel stood up from his chair and began walking towards his friends, who all hugged him and led him to the couch while I poured them drinks. "Look at my little prince; he is so cute," Charlotte said to Miguel, softly pulling his cheeks.“Why is she so mean?” Diego asked as he assisted me in rinsing the glasses."I am not sure; maybe

CHAPTER 92Serene My heart is not in the right place, and I am scared. I know Diego is furious that I did not inform him about his son's condition. It is not that I did not want to, but my desire for vengeance overcame me and nearly cost me the only person who completed my world. 'Get well soon, sweetheart,' I said in my head while standing beside Miguel's bed."Why are you sad, Mommy?" Miguel inquired, noting how pale I appeared.“Sad, no sweetie I am just bored, so now that you are awake, how about you tell me a little story?" I replied quickly, changing my expression."Okay, but is Daddy coming to listen as well?" he asked."Umm, no, Daddy is out and maybe a little late," I lied."OK, lay here," he said, and I placed my head next to him.I was looking in a different direction as he told me one of the cute stories I had read him. My tears were just flowing because I could not hold them back. My son's voice softened, and I looked up in fear, only to discover that he had fallen aslee

CHAPTER 91Diego I felt hurt; I understand Serene despises me, but hiding my son's condition from me is far too cruel. Maybe it was our past that caused everything, but I have changed so much that I am glad I saved his life. “Daddy, why are you sad?” Miguel inquired as he opened his eyes."No, I am not champ; my eyes are in a little bit of pain," I said. “How are you feeling sweetheart?” Serene asked Miguel, but he ignored her and turned to my side of the bed."Daddy, will I go watch wrestling live when I am better?" he asked me."We will hear from your mom first, you can see she was worried, huh," I replied, looking at Serene, who was staring at the floor."No, we do not have to go with Mommy because she lied and broke a promise," Miguel explained.“Sweetie I'm sorry I wish —”"Mommy, please go away," Miguel said to Serene, who began shaking her head.“Champ, calm down. Mommy didn't do anything,” I said, trying to calm him down."Mommy, you promised to return on time but didn't,"

CHAPTER 90SERENE "Ms. Brights, there is something concerning about the blood test results," the doctor said, and my heart skipped a beat."What is wrong, doctor? Is my blood not good?" I asked with tears on the verge of falling out."Not only that, but your blood does not match that of your son," the doctor replied, and I felt as if I had not just heard what he said.“What kind of joke is that doctor, I'm Miguel's Mom,” I replied."Here you can take a look at yourself. I thought it would be easier if there was a high chance, but it shows that you are not related to him in any way," the doctor said, pausing to look at me before continuing, "except for the fact that you are probably a chimera.”“Chimera?” I questioned in disbelief.“Yes, but there's no time right now. We need to act fast. Maybe we should try his father. I am confident that he will not respond negatively," the doctor suggested.‘What should I do now? I don't even want Diego to find out,’ I told myself."Ms. Brights, ar

CHAPTER 89Serene “I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that I just —”"I was thinking maybe you are tired of carrying my father's kidney and we should give it to someone more deserving because the way you are stalking me makes me feel like I owe you something," I cut him off."Serene, I know I owe you my life, my business, and everything I will give you. Please come back to me, and I will treat you better than—”"Aside from the flowers I carried on our wedding day, do you remember a time when you bought me flowers?" I cut him off."I know I have not done that, but please give me this one chance to make things right; I love you Serene, and every breath without you is hell," Diego said."Thank you for telling me how you should have felt because I do not have any emotions right now. If you do not mind, I am in a hurry; have a good day," I said, walking away without a second thought.I stepped into the lift, and the guards followed me just as it opened. We all got into the car, and I was surpr

CHAPTER 88Serene I was so exhausted from posing for pictures that whoever informed the media about my arrival did me a disservice, as I wish people could ask instead of deciding to do things for themselves. "Ms. Brights," a familiar voice called out, and I quickly turned to face the person."Hello, Sir, it is good to see you again. How is your daughter doing?" I asked the old man, whose face I recognized.“She's doing fine madam. I was not expecting to see you, but fate made it possible," he said."Oh, you do not have to be so formal; call me Serene. How long should I continue saying that?" I asked with a smile."OK, I will try calling you that, but I still want to thank you; if it were not for you, my daughter would have—”"No, it was God, not me; believe me when I say God saved her, not me; I was simply doing my job," I responded.“Madam, everything is set,” Rina said."OK, I will be with you soon," I told her, before inviting the old man to join me for lunch in the VIP lounge.

CHAPTER 87Diego "Do yourself a favor and get the hell out of here," Sofia told Sonia as she pulled me upstairs.I could tell Sonia was furious and probably shocked that I had someone else now. I walked away without resisting, leaving her hanging. As we entered my bedroom, I took my hand off Sofia's waist while she poured herself a glass of wine. "Nice acting skills, Mr. Myers," she said, giving me a subtle smile."Well, what are you doing here?" I asked Sofia because I had not called for her."Nothing came to make use of my abilities. I was a little bored," she said, walking towards me and attempting to fix my collar, but I walked away."I do not think you want to do this," I explained.“I do I wouldn't resist a thing just —”"Sofia, please keep it professional; I need to get some sleep now," I said, opening the door for her to walk out."OK, I see, goodnight," she said, placing the glass on my desk before walking away.I closed the door and stepped into the shower.
