Her Ex-husband's Regret CHAPTER 18
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 19Serene "Thank you both for coming. There is a problem that has to be addressed," the boss stated, clearing his throat and focusing on me.I gave myself a quick peek. unsure about where that is going. I tried my hardest to tell Mr. Cruz I was not interested in whatever he was attempting to do with me, but he kept sending gifts."Oh? Is it about business or something else?" Mr. Cruz inquired of the boss, very likely anticipating the direction of the conversation.The boss' eyes narrowed slightly, and his attitude remained calm."Mr. Cruz, I believe you are aware of the situation at hand. Your... conduct toward Miss Brights has created worries."The sound of it made me feel slightly uncomfortable since I knew this wouldn't have happen if Mr. Cruz had stopped when I first refused, and none of this would have happened at all."Sir, I sincerely apologize if this is creating any problems. I have tried to be courteous about it,” I explained "Courteous? Ms. Brights, come on. A sm

CHAPTER 20Serene I now see why Sir was so protective of me at the meeting with Mr. Cruz; the manner he held me conveyed an entirely different message. Two men are now in love with me. I do not even understand what this is about anymore; maybe I should simply resign my work since I can not be a trophy. The idea of quitting my job doesn't appeal to me because I had been wanting to work for this firm for nearly three years. I will simply get myself together and concentrate on what I need to do.I opened my computer and reviewed the document that my agent had provided me. I rectified certain errors and returned them to them. My door opened, and the agent who likes Mr. Cruz entered. I could tell she had gossip or really nasty recommendations, so I asked her to go because I was busy, but she assured me she was not coming to make trouble."Should I bring the quarterly reports you requested?" She inquired as I continued to focus on my task. "Just leave them on the boss's table. I will get

CHAPTER 21Diego It has been 9 months, and living with Nelly seems like a huge mistake. I am doing everything I can to make our relationship steady, but she only gives me red signals. How do I go about becoming a maid in my own home? I can't even see the love and devotion she had anymore, except when she comes to demand money for unnecessary items; I have spent almost $5 million in just 9 months of being with Nelly. I do not recall the last time I came home and felt loved; it was either I stayed at work late or went to sleep in the hotel room. Back then, with Serene, I did not have to think about anything but business."Sir, is everything okay?" George inquired while searching through some files."Yes, I am OK; I am just a bit fatigued," I replied, taking a sip from my drink."That is intriguing; the night must have been long, Huh?" He teased me."No, it's not what you think; I have just had a lot on my mind recently.""I see so much weight on a man's shoulders," he observed, bowing

CHAPTER 22Diego"George, you and I both know Serene would never return to London after what happened following her father's death. I believe Charlotte is just toying with you," I said after careful deliberation."But, Sir, I saw them talking on a vi—I cut him off and quickly began talking about business. We researched a concept for which we intended to collaborate with the "Katarayo agency from London." I am not sure why their marketing agent shared the things Serene taught my agents too, but everything appeared to be nicely written and just like what my agent would submit to me."Uhmm, sir, this report appears to be succinct and to the point," George said after we had gone over the plan."Yes, I believe we will do well together if we can reach an agreement with them; their team works similarly to ours." I responded.My phon

CHAPTER 23Serene The day began out really hectic, and I have not left the office since I arrived. When I raised my head, I noticed that all of my agents were not at their workstations, and their seats were vacant. That was strange because I do not remember anything like that happening. Just as I was ready to go investigate what was going on, the agent in love with Mr. Cruz strolled in. Before she could say anything, I asked her what was going on, and she just stated that the boss and everyone were waiting for me. I hurriedly grabbed my notepad and went to the boarding room.When I walked in, everyone was sitting, except for my chair, which was unoccupied. As I took my seat, the CEO rose."Thank you everybody for attending. I think we all understand why we are here. Max Cruz, our largest shareholder, has called an emergency meeting. Mr. Cruz, you have the floor,” The CEO said, taking his seat."Thank you. I will get straight to the point. Mr. Cruz remarked, before continuing ,"Over t

CHAPTER 24~Diego~It has been several days of tension and emotional torment. I have been spending practically every night alone, while Nelly just returns in the morning. I can't understand why she is doing this to me. Maybe I am overthinking it, but going out and returning back the next day is dangerous for her. I absolutely need to speak to her. I got up from my desk and grabbed my phone before heading out."Sir, are you already leaving?" George inquired as he noticed me."Yes, I will go early today," I said, patching his shoulder."OK, Sir, but is everything okay?" he inquired, his tone indicating concern."Yes, everything is OK; you just need to focus on your work and quit bothering me," I said, knowing he would not say anything further.I entered the elevator and arrived at the bottom floor,

CHAPTER 25Diego It is Tuesday morning, and I just got a call saying the cops are searching my home. I drove right away to see my entire home encircled. I was attempting to go in, but the offices were doing all they could to keep me outside until they discovered what they were searching for, which I also had no idea about."Officer, I don't want to cause trouble; just allow me inside my damn house," I said, but they continued to block the path.Before I knew it, the media had come, and I had no choice except to get back into my car and pretend I did not see them through the dark windows. My heart was racing, and my anxieties were making everything feel like a dream. "Why on earth are the cops at my house?" I asked myself.Police cars were parked surrounding the my home, as reporters from various news outlets waited expectantly to see anything noteworthy. A detective dressed in plain clothes emerges out of the home and walks toward the crowd, where reporters stand with microphones poi

CHAPTER 158 Serene The next day, I awoke in a hospital bed, knowing that the worst news was waiting for me. I stood up and looked at Charlotte and Neina, who were nervously looking at each other. "Did I lose the babies?" I asked my ears, knowing fully well that they were unprepared for the answer. "No, you didn't. The children are fine, but we are not sure if you will want to attend Diego's funeral," Charlotte said. "I am fine, I will go," I said, but I could tell they were both concerned that I would not be able to handle the pain. We arrived home, and I was able to change. I was sitting on my couch, trying to remember all the times he managed to create memories with me, and tears welled up in my eyes. I remembered how I hugged him from behind when Miguel was kidnapped. "Tell me you do not want to see me again, and I will leave forever," his words echoed in my mind. “I don't," I recalled saying before running to give him that hug. Why did you leave me so soon? I

CHAPTER 157 Serene The gunshots continued to echo in my head until I saw Diego fall in front of me. I was unable to speak, and before I could reach out to him, everything went black. "Diego!" I exclaimed, waking up in a hospital bed. "Calm down, Ms. Brights; you are safe and sound," I heard a strange woman say. "Who... Who are you, and where is Miguel?" I asked the woman, who appeared to be smiling at me. “Miguel? I don't know who that is but I —" "What do you mean, you have no idea who my son is? Where is Miguel?" I cut her off, attempting to sit up straight at the prospect of possibly losing my son. "Oh, your son," the woman said with a smile, and my heart rate finally slowed. “Where is he?" I asked her again. "He went to bring you some clothes from the mans

CHAPTER 156Nelly“Mina!" I heard Max exclaim when I opened my eyes in shock. How was she still alive after what Max had done to her? I looked around and could not believe I was actually in jail. "Hello, Nelly; you appear surprised to be in your new home," Mina said, smiling at me."Mina, my love, I can not believe you are still alive; I have missed you,” Max said, trying to hold her hand."Max, please hold it there. Are you even listening to yourself right now?” Mina cut him off."Of course, sweetie; I can not believe you are here with me every day and night. I wish you—”"Shut up, you idiot," Grace interrupted him as she walked in, looking different. She had lipstick and heels on."Grace, you have arrived," Max said, smiling with hope."Hello Max," Grace

CHAPTER 155SERENEI could not believe what I just heard and could not even tell Neina. I knew going to sleep in my room would be dangerous, so I locked the door and asked the guards to come upstairs in groups while armed, as the future was unknown at the time. “Is everything OK?" I heard Max ask the guard."Yes, everything is fine, Mr. Cruz; you can sleep," I said, attempting to appear calm."OK, thank you for letting me stay," he said, and I just smiled as I went into my room to grab my coat before returning to Miguel's room. After what I just heard, there was no way I was going to leave my baby alone all night. My thoughts were scattered, and I was having trouble reaching Diego. I was sure he was drunk by now.“What happened?" Neina inquired about why I had decided to have us sleep in Miguel's room.I cou

CHAPTER 154SERENEWhen Diego learned Miguel had been kidnapped, he dashed out, promising to bring him back, but I knew I would never forgive myself if anything happened to my son. I tried to relax and think positively, but couldn't. I suspected Charlotte was playing a prank on me, but when I called her, she had already left for Dubai with Andrew. My heart was not in the right place, and I knew Grace had not taken him without permission.Who else could have done that?Nelly was the only one who raised a red flag in my mind; I would never use a gun on anyone before, but after all the techniques I learned in self-defense classes with my guards, I did not mind pulling the trigger for Miguel, so I quickly asked the guards to get the car ready and take me to Max's mansion. My instincts never lie, and Miguel would undoubtedly be in the hands of Ne

CHAPTER 153NellyMax had gone shopping with Sonia and Grace, while I remained behind to make a very strategic move. There is no way Diego just decided to leave and go to a hotel. I have been following him for a while now, and I can not help but outwit him before he outwits us. When I found out that he had gone to see Serene, I used the plan I had devised to get their child and got my hands on that little boy. Knowing Serene would give anything to have that child back, I would play my cards right. I was about to leave my bedroom when I bumped into Max."Nelly, where have you been?" he inquired, his face untidy."What happened and is the shopping already done?" I pretended to ask."Do not act surprised; you know exactly what I am talking about. Where is Serene's son?" he inquired, his tone filled with concern as if he were the father

CHAPTER 152SereneI was on my way to check on the current status of my hotel when I noticed a waitress attempting to force herself on Diego. I was so furious that I almost fired her for being so unethical with our customers. I told them to treat everyone with respect, and given Diego's state, I could not help but rush to his aid, even though a part of me wanted to back away. He was always drunk when things didn't go well, so I knew something was up.When he told me what had happened, I called George to learn more and see how I could help. I realize it sounded stupid, but I was not doing it for Diego. I could not bear the thought of his late father's time being wasted on Myers Enterprise. Even after assisting him, something else made me nervous—lab results.I just found out I am pregnant and have no idea what will happen next. I am not sure whether I should be

CHAPTER 151Diego Waking up on Serene's couch is so comfortable, and getting to make breakfast for her and my son is something I want to do every day. When I returned to Max's mansion, I only came to get my bags, so I moved into a hotel; I could not leave under the roof over a wolf who might kill me one day. I greeted Grace, who appeared to be both sad and happy that I was moving out. "You better get them for me," she whispered, hugging me.“I will not worry," I responded."Do not lose focus, Sonia," I said, hugging her too."I won't you take care,” she said, kissing my cheek when Nelly walked in.“Diego, are you leaving? I mean what's with all these bags?" she asked."Nothing, Nelly; I am just going to get some privacy," I replied."Where? I mean, this mansion is large enough to accommodate everyone. Where are you going?" she asked.“Yes, Diego, where are you going?" my uncle asked, as he walked in."I am moving out to have my privacy," I explained."What? No, you know we have all

CHAPTER 150Serene I walked away since I could tell Diego was uncomfortable and Sofia appeared to be excited. I stood back and just admired how happy Charlotte and Neina appeared to be with their partners. Could such joy not locate me? Max smiled and blocked my way, so I considered walking away since I didn't want to be around him. "Ms. Brights, you look adorable tonight," he commented. "Thank you, Mr. Cruz; you do not look bad either," I said, about to walk away as he held my hand.“Uhmm sorry, how about we have a dance?" He said, but I was not in the mood, so I refused."Some other time, I have to get to something," I replied, walking away.Why would Max want us to dance when I do not want anything to do with him? Rina should have come here to dance with him because she likes rich men. I had not even finished thinking when I answered her video call. " Hey Rina, what a surprise?” I said as I didn't expect her to call."Calm down, madam, I know that reaction; did you turn down Max?"
