CHAPTER 56

Serene

My eyes rolled wide, unable to believe what they were witnessing. Diego, I typically order the guards to stand at the door, so I did not expect to find him inside my office. “Diego!” I said again, staring at Rina, who needed to explain how he came inside.

“I was going to tell you but —”

"It is fine, I believe you did me a big favor; I will explain that to her," he interrupted her, and she looked at me before walking away. What the heck? I thought she worked for me. I walked to the opposite side of the desk and took the initiative to speak first. “Diego I am not sure what you are doing here, but you out of all people should understand how business works; make an appointment and I will see you when I am available," I said, taking my seat confidently.

“Yes that's right, but we both know you won't Serene.”

"This is Ms. Brights, and I believe you understand how things work in business. Mr. Myers addressing me by my name is extremely disrespectful in my own office," I cor

    CHAPTER 57Diego I can't even blame her for what just happened; I somehow deserved the treatment she gave me. I just feel like an idiot right now. I came into her office by chance, but after what happened, I doubt her secretary will let me in again. I was still sitting when the door opened and Rina walked in. “Mr. Myers I was not expecting that you would still be here.”"I am actually on my way out, thank you very much, and you should expect more if you help me next time," I said as I approached the door, but she stopped me."Wait, I need you to sign this," she said, setting the project papers on the table."What, you mean Serene has agreed to let me?” “Yes, madam asked me to give this to you.”I quickly took them and signed the documents before returning them to her. I thanked her again and walked out of Serene's office. It is not like her to give me that project easily; what caused her to change her mind? I am confident it is because she still loves me. If that were not true, she

    CHAPTER 58Serene I have yet to receive an explanation from Rina as to why she permitted Diego to enter my office, and it is now evening. I was even convinced she could let him get close to my son after she did that, but I still can not believe what she did. I went upstairs and asked Mia to get Miguel ready since Rina was about to arrive. Time passed by and Rina finally walked in. "Sorry for the delay; I had a meeting with Mr. Simon, madam,” She explained "What amount did Diego pay you to get into my office?" I inquired seriously.“What I —”“I will not ask you again, put your jokes aside and get serious.”“Uhmm OK he paid —”"Hi Aunt Rina, look at what I drew for my daddy; does this picture look like the real one?" Miguel cut her with a question, passing her a photograph of me and Diego smiling happily on our wedding day."Wait, handsome, what did you say about your daddy?" She asked, surprised, as she recognized Diego and me."I drew him a picture, that is my daddy; he will return

    Chapter 59Serene "Hello," I said to the person on the other end as I left Miguel's room.“Serene, I am outside; are you coming, or should I?” A familiar voice asked, and I knew it was him— Diego.“What—”"I do not care if your guard shoots me or something, all I know is I'm coming in," he said, and then the call ended.Damn, does he think my guards have time to play with intruders? I took them directly from the army because I needed quality protection. I do not even need to go outside. I will simply tell the chief guard to tell his friends not to harm him in any way, but to give him a taste of what they are like when messed with. I smiled and went into my room. I quickly changed into my pajamas and went to bed. I had not spoken to Charlotte or Neina, so I tried to add them both to a video chat."Hello, ladies," I said as they both smiled at me."Hello, Serene; what could be behind that smile?" Neina inquired as she observed my excitement."Nothing, just glad I am finally getting bac

    CHAPTER 60Serene I jumped out of the car, disregarding what she said. I did not care if he was in a coma or not; it was none of my business. I thought to myself, "That is what trespassers deserve." I walked into the lift and asked Rina to go to the boarding room ahead of me, as I would get her there once I finished making the call in my office. I went into my office and quickly dialed Mr. Cruz's number. He did not take his time picking up."Good morning, Ms. Brights; what an honor," he responded from the other end."Good morning, Mr. Cruz I would like to ask if Mr. Myers will be coming for the announcement?” I asked."What announcement?" he inquired, sounding stunned."I just signed him for the new project," I explained."Oh, I see. I doubt he will join you, but I will send one of my agents to represent him," he said."Oh, OK, let them be here within the next 20 minutes," I said, then ended the call.That sounded like the guards hit him hard, and I do not blame them; he deserved it

    CHAPTER 61Diego I was not expecting Serene to be so cold-hearted; her guards nearly killed me that day, but I went prepared, so nothing on me was hurt. I just had the doctor lie about everything to see if she would bother coming; since she did, I was going to wake up and talk to her, but the nurse interrupted everything for me. I got out of the hospital bed and quickly changed into my official clothes before asking the driver to pick me up. He did not take long, and I was already in the car; I asked him to drive me home, which he did. When I arrived home, all of our staff except Grace greeted me. I always preferred to be the one who was greeted by her, so she did. "How did things go?" She whispered."Pretty good," I responded in a tone that only the two of us could hear. "Good boy," she said, and then told me my uncle was in his office.I made my way to his office and was about to enter when I overheard him talking to some of his dirty partners. "You are making a great move on this

    CHAPTER 62Diego “Are you OK?” my uncle asked as I didn't seem to respond."Yes, I am fine; I was just thinking about something," I lied."So, what would you say about me proposing to Ms. Brights tomorrow?” He asked, and I glanced at him."You mean on her son's birthday?” I asked in disbelief."Yes, what other date would be best for such an important thing?" he replied, waiting for my response."Well, I do not think you should go ahead with that, I—I mean, you should maybe let her like you first," I suggested, hoping he would agree and watch me save her and my son from his evil plans."Do not be silly, why do you think she does not like me? I mean, she just danced with me the other day, correct?” He asked."Yes, but that was just a dance; I thought you should be more ionic with her or something," I said, hoping he would lose motivation."Oh, I will see how I handle this; I want that woman to be a part of me," he said, looking at me."Well, then," I said, about to get up from the table

    CHAPTER 63Serene Diego Myers is so shameless that he attempted to sweet-talk me. We both know that in our five years of marriage, he has never looked at me in that way or said those words to me. I can not believe he still has not changed. Perhaps he only came here for business. There is no way he would come here for my son. Miguel is not going anywhere; I will come up with the best excuse to keep him from asking about his father. I need my son to completely forget about Diego. His birthday is tomorrow, and I do not want anything to go wrong. I did not want to make it as big as last year because some people did not want to leave on time. I was still in bed, thinking about what I wanted to include in my son's gift package, but everything seemed to be exactly what he wanted, so I went offline and walked to my closet. I opened it and pulled out the golden teddy bear my father had given me before I came to London. I could still remember everything. I could see myself crying and asking h

    CHAPTER 64Serene Miguel was already in Diego's arms, and the guards were about to separate the two when I signaled them not to. "Daddy, what took you so long to come? Mommy spent days crying because of you, and I missed you a lot," Miguel said in a cute little tone. Everyone seemed to be shocked at the sight and started clapping hands, but I was still frozen because I could not help but wonder what to do. "Mommy, why are you standing there, daddy is here,” Miguel said before I walked quickly towards them, hugging Diego as well. "Yepi, we are finally going to be happy," Miguel said, clapping."Daddy, did you bring me that?" Miguel inquired as he saw his favorite car in its box behind Diego."Yes, I got you that viper; I hope you like it champ?" Diego responded by brushing Miguel's curly hair."Yes, mommy look," he said, running around the box, attempting to open it."Here, let me help you," Diego offered, quickly opening the box for him to remove the car and place him in. "Wow, can I

    CHAPTER 73Diego I felt my hands tighten into fists, and my chest burned with rage as I remembered that Serene had told me the flowers were from her boyfriend. So, all along, my uncle had been the man she was talking about. I know he doesn't love her; whatever he is doing is to gain access to her wealth and steal as much as he can from her, as he did with his wife until she vanished with no trace to date. We all suspected he was behind her sudden disappearance, but we could not gather enough evidence to fight him. I will not allow Serene to suffer the same fate. I went to my room and quickly changed to take a shower while Grace ironed the clothes I requested. When I finished, I walked out and saw Sonia in a bikini. "Hello, sweetheart," she said, walking towards me."What exactly are you doing here?" I asked in a serious tone."What is the meaning of this? I am with my boyfriend, so what is the problem?" she asked."Do not dodge the question, Sonia; what are you doing here?" I repeate

  • Her Ex-husband's Regret   CHAPTER 72

    CHAPTER 72Diego Serene is so unbelievable that it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to resist her. I am not sure what is wrong with me, but every time I look at her, I start wishing things had not turned out the way they did between us, or rather that I had not behaved like an ass. I am now dealing with a new reality: another man has come into her life. No! There is no way I would let my son call someone else 'Dad'. I need to act quickly. I was still thinking when I noticed the lift close directly in front of me. “No!” I said, wishing I had walked out on time.It opened, and I found myself on the top floor again. A woman walked in with files in her hands, and I recognized her as Rina Serene's PA. "I thought you were gone, Mr. Myers," she said, smiling."That is correct, but I had something else to do before I left," I replied."Oh, I see; have fun then," she said as she was about to walk out of the lift, but I interrupted her with a question."May I have some coffee with you

  • Her Ex-husband's Regret   CHAPTER 71

    CHAPTER 71SERENE I know Diego must be happy that I hugged him. It is not like I had a choice; making sure my son does not notice the distance between us is something I will have to keep doing until he is old enough to understand things. I do not want to fall for anything Diego is attempting. I was still deep in thought when Rina shook my shoulder. "Someone looks so lost that peck must have stimulated a lot, right?" She teased me."You must be crazy to think I kissed him," I said, jumping out of the car as the guard opened it for me.“Come on it's Mr. Myers after all,” she said and held her mouth when I gave her a serious look.I walked towards the main entrance, and everyone kept greeting me, with some even complimenting my outfit. "Ms. Bright's welcome; we expected to see your secretary," Mr. Simon said."Oh, that is correct, but important gatherings must not be missed at any cost; I am sure you understand how the game is played in the business world," I replied with a smile."Yes,

    CHAPTER 70Serene What could be better than seeing the mighty Diego Myers cleaning up his messes? Maybe he was right; when I saw the blood, I felt bad, but not as bad as I would have back then. Covering my son's eyes was far too important since his fear of blood grows every time he sees it. I used to tell him that losing too much blood could result in hospitalization, which he despised. Just as Diego began cleaning, I walked out and went to the dining room to check on Miguel. "Mommy, where is Daddy?" he inquired, looking behind me, likely hoping to see Diego."Your father is—is on a phone call," I responded, knowing he would not want to disturb Diego."OK, I will go wait for him to finish," he replied and was about to leave when I gently held his arm. "Wait, sweetie," I quickly said.“Mommy is everything OK?” he asked."Yes, I just wanted to give you a kiss before you leave," I said, kissing him quickly and signaling Rina to go make sure Diego finished the cleaning. There is no way I

    CHAPTER 69 Diego "Sweetie," Serene said, quickly releasing my shirt. I was going to die if my son had not come to my rescue. "Are you fighting with Daddy?" he asked, approaching us.“No, not at all I was just —”"Fixing my collar," I cut her off because she ran out of words."Yes, I was fixing Daddy's collar; where have you been?" Serene questioned him while holding his cheeks."I was in the toy room waiting for Daddy," he explained.“What?” "Daddy promised to play with me in the morning, but he did not come," he explained, and Serene turned to look at me, possibly regretful.“Oh, I'm so sorry I forgot I had —”"Blood," Miguel interrupted me as he noticed my hand was bleeding.“What!” Serene replied, looking in the direction Miguel had pointed."Oh, sweetie, I am sorry," she said, covering his eyes as he started to shiver. “Is daddy going to be OK?” he cried."Yes, Daddy will be fine, sweetie; do not cry," Serene reassured him.The maid quickly brought her the first aid kit, but sh

    CHAPTER 68Diego What else could I do? I tried to stop her from signing those papers, but she was too ignorant. To top it off, she was romantically holding that beast of an uncle I so detest. A touch I wished she could have given me, or something I was about to explode in anger over, but I had to hold it in because the Serene I have come to know is not the woman I once married, and believe me when I say she isn't. I remember coming home from work and changing my expression as if she had done something wrong, even though she hadn't; all I wanted was to get her out of my sight. But now the tables have turned, and karma is a bitch.I poured myself a glass of whiskey and drank it. "Uh," I let out a sound due to the burning sensation in my throat."Take it easy, son; what is bothering you?" my uncle inquired, taking the chair in front of me."Nothing, just being disappointed by someone," I said, punching my fist against the table wishing I gave it in his face.“Oh, I see ladies or busines

At first, I thought I would never see him, but fate had other plans. I know you missed me, and I truly missed you from the bottom of my heart. Happy birthday, your hero," the MC said, and my heart returned to place.'Wow, that was close,' I thought to myself.It was finally time for everyone to give their gifts, and I was overcome with emotion as I saw how many wishes and gifts everyone had for my son. I stood there watching, trying not to cry because it would ruin my makeup. "Madam, are you okay?” Mia asked as she stood beside me."Yes, I am fine; look after Miguel for me; I will be back soon," I said, heading upstairs. I closed my room and attempted to call Charlotte and Neina, but both of their numbers did not go through. I approached the mirror and looked at myself. 'You need to stay strong, Serene; t

    CHAPTER 66Serene It was not like I did not have a choice; I just had to let him come because Miguel would be upset with me. When Miguel called Diego out loud at the barbershop, I knew my worst fear had come true. If it were up to me, he would never have seen my son, but fate had other plans. I will have to pretend to be in a happy relationship with him to convince our son that we are happy. I entered my room and closed the door behind me. So many thoughts were racing through my mind, so I took a deep breath and quickly looked in the direction of the door that had just opened. "Mommy," Miguel said, pulling Diego into my room."I brought Daddy after our house tour, and I am going to get ready for the party," Miguel said as he ran out of the room.What the hell is going on? He had no right to be in my room. He must believe this is the Myers Mansion or something. "Look —”"I did not come here on purpose; in fact, I had no idea this was your room," he interrupted me."Whatever, I will ha

    CHAPTER 65Diego It was my son's birthday, and I could not let my uncle wish him before me. I quickly called Rina and asked her to learn more about my son's preferences from his nanny. She was hesitant at first, but eventually found out and told me everything. Since he had always wanted his car, I quickly bought him one and asked the maid to keep me updated if Serene went out. When she told me Serene was taking my son to the barbershop, I went there first and waited for them. When I was certain it was safe for me to enter after them, I walked in and noticed Serene on her phone while our son was looking at how the barber was styling his hair when our gazes met. "Daddy!" he exclaimed, jumping up the chair and into my arms. I was surprised and could not believe he knew what I looked like; Serene must have shown him pictures or something. I could feel his tiny arms around my neck. I put my hands in his curly hair as I picked him up and gave him a proper look. To my surprise, he looked e
