Her Ex-husband's Regret CHAPTER 9
CHAPTER 9Diego "Sir, your lawyer wishes to speak with you about something," George remarked in a pallid voice."Tell him to wait; I will be back in a few days; you know Nelly does not like things cut short," I responded to George in a strong tone."But, Sir—"I cut him off and said, "I know you can manage anything, George; just do your job."He was about to say something , but as soon as Nelly stepped in, I ended the call. She smiled at me and approached me with an enticing look. I stood up and headed towards her; when we met, I grabbed her up and kissed her. We proceeded to our bed, carrying her in my arms, and gingerly laid her on the plus-sized bed."Hold on," she whispered before I had the opportunity to kiss her.She grinned and picked up her phone. I was curious as to why she had stopped me, so she scanned through her album and finally stopped at a shot. I could not believe my eyes when I viewed the picture."What? You still have that ?" I questioned her."Yes, this was the on

CHAPTER 10 Diego "When exactly did that happen?" I was startled hearing that Serene requested the money. "OK, I will see you when I get back," I responded, ending the conversation. "Wow, I can not believe this," Nelly said, shaking her head. "It is okay, honey; she will be out of our lives for good now; that is the only thing that would have made her come back and cause drama, you know," I said to Nelly, holding her hands as she laid the meal down. "Yes, but I intended to use it for something different," Nelly explained, tugging her face. "What? That is impossible, my darling," I told her in a quiet, calm tone. "I am not sure why you are making such a big deal out of this. It is not like she wants the money. I thought I might put it to good use, perhaps invest in something worthy," I replied, her as she pushed away from the hug. "I am afraid you can't.That money was intended for Serene, and I cannot accept it. It is hers, regardless of what she does with it. We have no right

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

Her Ex-husband's Regret CHAPTER 82
CHAPTER 82Diego I wondered what Miguel did to persuade Serene to join us. I honestly thought she would never want to see my face again, but fate must have had other plans for us. I can not wait to win Serene over; if only she knew how serious I am about this relationship. I want to make her a part of my life from the moment I realize my heart beats for her. I reached into my pocket and discovered that my phone was not with me. I got into my blazer, but there was still nothing. “Daddy is everything OK?” Miguel inquired, noting how concerned I appeared.“Yes, I was just looking for —”“This,” Serene replied, holding my phone.“How did you get that?” I asked as I was shocked."Well, you seemed to have donated it to my floor," she smiled and returned it.“Oh, sorry, thanks,” I responded with a smile."Next time, be cautious," She said, and I understood.We all took our seats and began watching the movie. I noticed Serene was dozing, so I extended my shoulders to offer her a shoulder, bu

CHAPTER 81Serene "Get away from me," I said, pushing him away and threatening to call the guards."Stop it already; I am not a stranger, and I know you are only doing this because—”"Shut up, Diego; I think you have gotten far too comfortable. Maybe we should start doing things the hard way, OK?" I said, about to call the guards, when my towel loosened and nearly fell off, but Diego caught it in time."What do you think—," I almost asked looking at him, but then noticed he had closed his eyes and tightened his grip on me."Do not worry, I am not looking. I know you're embarrassed but you are used to this touch, so relax," Diego said, and I somehow let it sink in as he slowly tightened the towel.I began to recall those days when he was calmer and nicer to me when he would tell me about his plans for us, but a memory of what caused all of that to fail came flooding back, and I pushed him so hard that he nearly fell to the ground, safe for the couch that stood there. It is not like he

CHAPTER 80Serene When Miguel ran into my room and attempted to wake me up, I was still deep asleep. I was hesitant at first, but I had to wake up knowing Miguel I did not want to take any further chances. “Sweetie, what's the matter?” I asked, hoping it was not about Diego."Mommy, why don't you want Daddy to sleep on your bed?" He questioned, and I could not believe he figured it out so quickly."No, sweetie, who told you that your daddy lies down right—" I looked at the side of the bed I was going to point to, and it did not even appear that anyone had slept there. Miguel chuckled and ran away after telling me Diego was in his bedroom. What is he doing there, given the text I sent him yesterday, and who permitted the guards to let him in? I didn't even have time for those responses, so I dashed out after Miguel into his room. Diego quickly stood on his feet, terrified. Well, it is not the kind of fright that intimidates you; it is just that one of me is probably going to get him

CHAPTER 79Diego “Cheers boys,” Sofia said as we all toasted. I could tell my uncle was surprised I had a girlfriend, even though she was only pretending to be. "Please excuse me," Uncle said before making his way upstairs.“Do you think he bought it?” Sofia whispered, but I told her to remain quiet.We finished our meals and went to the living room to make it look like we were watching a movie together. I was still caught up in the moment when the last person I expected to see arrived. “Diego!” Sonia exclaimed."Hello, what a surprise," I replied, knowing that nothing good would come from it.“I could say the same, who is she?” Sonia inquired, looking at Sofia, who lay comfortably in my arms.“She's my fiancé,” I replied."What do you mean, this slut is your fiancé?" Sonia furiously asked."Watch it, you do not have the right to call me that," Sofia warned her."Shut up, Diego is my man; you can not come here and try to snatch him from me bitch, so back the fuck off OK," Sonia argue

CHAPTER 78Diego "Sofia White," I replied, extending my hand for a handshake."Hello there, Mr. Myers; what an honor to see you again," she said with a smile."So tell me what you are doing here," I asked Sofia."Nothing, I am just here to check on someone," she replied, leaving me wondering who it could be.“Oh, I see.”Sofia was one of the women I attended university with. After everyone had finished their studies, we stayed in the same city for a while before moving on to our respective professions. I did not have to go anywhere except to decide where I wanted my father's empire to expand. I would have let my father and his brother run the same company, but I am glad my mother made it clear that I was the only one who would inherit all of her wealth, and Dad had to go with what she wanted even though he was wealthier. So, since everything happened so quickly, I have not heard from Sofia in years, except for rumors about her appearance on a reality show."How about we go on a date,

CHAPTER 77Diego Damn, every time I think I am about to win her over, she reminds me that we are only doing everything for our son and nothing more. My heart was so broken after she made it clear that she was not interested in me; I could not believe she admitted that she could not stand me. Opportunity only comes once in a lifetime; the woman I once treated as trash is about to become my bloody uncle's treasure, right in front of my eyes. No! As soon as my son fell asleep, I had to get home. I arrived home and discovered that it was already 4 a.m. So all I had to do was rest for two hours before heading to work, so I got busy.I entered my room and quickly locked the door because I did not want any surprises, especially from Sonia, who was struggling to accept that what had happened to us could no longer continue. That was back when I was a jerk, but now I have learned my lesson. I took off my clothes and went to take a cold shower before bed. As I fell deeper into my sleep, I began

CHAPTER 76Serene I hope Diego did not take my last statement seriously; I just had to change the sentence because Miguel had woken up. There is no way I would let my son hear what we were talking about, let alone learn how much I dislike his father. "Sweetie, we are here," I said, walking towards his bed with Diego."Hey Champ, are you okay?" Diego inquired, running his hands through Miguel's hair."Uhuh, I… I just had a nightmare," he said."Oh, we are so sorry; trust me, that will not happen again; we will sleep right here next to you," Diego said, while I gave him a fierce look that Miguel did not notice.“No, you can go while I—”“Mommy, where's Daddy going?” Miguel cut me off, and I quickly realized I was about to hint at something bad."To the kitchen for some milk, sweetie, but what are you thinking?" I replied softly, pulling his cheeks as Diego walked downstairs.“Can I switch on your TV?” I inquired as I was looking for a way to prevent Diego from leaving, as he had picked

CHAPTER 75Serene “What!” Charlotte replied after I informed them that Diego was with Miguel."Calm down, it is not what you think," I explained, but she could not believe what she heard."Serene, you let that man into your home's walls?" she asked."Yes, but it is only for his son, not me.”"I do not see anything wrong with that," Neina responded."Neina, you are so unbelievable; you and I both know that Diego Myers never wanted that child; he was busy having fun with that bitch while Serene was busy mourning its death, even though it never died," Charlotte explained."Yes, that is all true. I am not saying she should give him a chance or anything. I am just glad that child is with its father; you know what it is like to be without a father's love," Neina told Charlotte, while I laughed at them."Look, Serene, if I were you, I would hold that... I don't even know what to call him," Charlotte said, causing us all to laugh."Okay, ladies, when should I expect your visit?" I asked."So

CHAPTER 74Diego I quickly exited the bathroom and found Sonia waiting for me at the door. Since I was not in the mood for her drama, I asked her to open the door, but she remained hesitant. I immediately called Grace, who came to open the door for me. Sonia was so disappointed that she almost scolded Grace, but I intervened quickly. Just as I was about to go downstairs, I ran into my uncle. "Diego, where are you going right now?" he inquired, his curiosity evident.'What should I say now?' I asked myself while I was still thinking up my cock and bull story."Nowhere important, just taking some files to the airport," I lied and dashed out.I walked out and got into my car; I knew my uncle would be following me, so I drove to the airport and asked my cab driver to wait for me at the back door. I walked in and quickly changed into the clothes I had purchased before instructing the professional actor I hired to simply keep driving my car around and distracting the person stalking me. I
