Gwen.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m glad that I came back.” I whispered and he smiled.

“I’m also glad you did.” My brows furrowed.

“Why did you say that?” I asked.

“Because you look more alive and happy than the first time I saw you. That wasn’t Gwen, this is the true Gwen.” His words made me smile.

Even though we haven’t known each other for a long time he still knows when I’m happy or not.

“Thank you, Ryan,” I said sincerely and I did mean it.

I wouldn’t have ever thought of coming back here if it wasn’t for him and for that I was grateful.

He shook his head, “You don’t have to thank me, Gwen. All I want is to see Jasmine by your side after all she’s my friend.” He winked at the end while I giggled.

Yeah, that’s true. They both bonded that day at the park and that was also the first time I saw my daughter blush.

…….

It was already evening which meant I had been here for the whole day, dad wouldn’t let me go home and Mom seconded it. They both want me to spend the night, in fact, the

  • My Ex-Husband’s Regret   Chapter Forty Two

    Henry. I typed furiously on my laptop, gosh I was feeling so tired, hungry, and cranky as a bitch. Now I know how hard it is to take care of a child and not to talk when that child is my jasmine, geez that little girl was a mini devil. She can act and drive me crazy every day and still had me wrapped around her tiny finger. I stopped typing and looked at the little devil on the couch in my office, even after much persuading she refused to go to her preschool and instead wanted to follow me to the office. After much crying and me promising to buy the world for her, she still refused, and here we were hours later, with a messy office and a very tired me and Jas who was currently sleeping on the couch. I groaned and leaned back in my seat, I stared at Jas for a while and smiled when she smiled in her sleep. She must be dreaming of something good,‘Maybe her momma.’ I thought and then frowned. Where did that come from? I promised myself that I wouldn’t think about Gwen again since she

    Gwen. It was almost midnight and the girls and I were still talking, we made sure to give every detail of what was going on in our life and I still couldn’t wrap my head around Nina dating a guy. Well, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to me that she was dating at twenty-one but I was still kinda surprised. Nina promised to bring her boyfriend over one of these days and I couldn’t wait to see the one who made my sister act like a teenager in love. “Can I come in girls?” Mom voiced from outside and we looked at one another before giggling. Mom still has this attitude of knocking before coming in. “Of course, you can Mom,” I answered. The door opened right after that and she walked in already clad in her night dress and her red hair was packed in a messy bun. But she still looked beautiful and sophisticated, just like the lady of the Mars household should look. “It’s late girls. Why aren’t you asleep yet?” She asked. “We were catching up on some stuff Mom but we will go to bed as

    Henry. “Daddy, where are you going?” I forced a smile upon hearing her question. She had been asking this for the past hours now and I was getting tired of answering the same questions over and over again. “I told you before baby, Daddy is going to a ball party,” I said arranging my tie. “A ball?” She asked with that cute confused look on her face. “What’s a ball?” “It’s a formal social gathering for the rich, where we have a good wine and dance,” I answered as best I could. She sighed and asked the next question, “Can I go with you?” I looked at her and shook my head, “No baby, you can’t.” “Why?” She questioned while I sighed. “Because this ball isn’t for kids at your age, it’s for adults.” “But I am an adot right?” She asserted. I smiled knowing she couldn’t pronounce the word ‘adult’ properly. “No, you aren’t. You are still a child and it would take many years for you to become an adult.” “But why’s she going if I’m not.” I frowned and looked at her. She was pointing at

    Henry. We got to the address in less than thirty minutes and we were ushered in. “You ready?” I asked glancing at Emily beside me. This was a huge step I was taking, appearing with Emily in this hall was a clear message to everyone that I was no longer with my wife. Everyone would know that we had broken up but what they wouldn’t know was when we did have a divorce. “I’m always ready babe.” She replied, a wide smile on her face. Right, she had always expected this. I introduced her to everyone as my wife. I mean it has been long overdue and she deserves this. “Let’s do this.” She nodded and linked her arm around me as we walked in. Inside the hall, light classical jazz music filled the air, creating a relaxing and cozy atmosphere. Some tables were set up around the hall leaving a wide space in the middle, I guess for the dance later on. I could see one or two businessmen that I know talking and laughing loudly with their women by their sides. “Wow, this is really nice,” Emily r

  • My Ex-Husband’s Regret   Chapter Forty Six

    Gwen. The next day after getting that invitation card from Dad’s study, Jade, Nina and I went for dress shopping. We were attended to quickly and after searching for a perfect dress, I finally found one. It was a black dress with spaghetti hands and I immediately fell in love with it. After that, we went shoe and bag shopping before having lunch at a restaurant then went back to the mansion. Dad gave me a list of those attending the ball and I had to memorize them and know every freaking one of them. According to Dad, he was the one behind the project like he was the one funding the company in California and also the one pointing out where to invest or not. I was surprised with that news but overall it was expected that Dad was super rich.I went through the list but paused when I saw Henry Baldwin’s name boldly written there, my heart squeezed painfully just seeing his name. Henry, will he ever be able to forget him? I asked myself.He was my first love…and still is. My first ki

    Gwen. “How have you been Gwen?” Ryan asked as the car drove out of the premises. I turned to him and smiled, “I have been good…well apart from missing my daughter I’m good.” I nod. I’m fine, I only miss my daughter too much. “Don’t worry we’ll get Jasmine back.” He said reassuringly while I nodded. I believe that I believe that I would be with my daughter any moment from now and this will be possible because I have dad and Ryan. The rest of the ride was listening to Ryan talk about business and how the court was going to accept our case as soon as it was brought forward. I just couldn’t wait to get through all of these processes and get my daughter. We got to the venue and our driver stepped out of the car to come open our door for us but Ryan shook his head. He looked at me and I knew what he wanted, he wanted to be the one to open the car door for me. Well, I wasn’t against that. “Have I told you that you look beautiful?” He asked, his eyes searching mine. I blushed and bro

    Gwen. “Gwen! I wasn’t expecting to see you here!” Emily called out excitedly like the both of us were best friends. I looked at her and instantly knew what she was up to, having Emily near was not good. She would try to create drama if I didn’t answer her or act like I was pleased to see her. I beamed and forced a smile out, “You too! I don’t know you will be coming with my…Henry Emily.” I almost said something that I would have regretted later on. “We were invited, no actually Henry was so I decided to tag along with him since I can’t stay alone at home with me being fussy every time.” She complained with a cute pout on her lips. And I will have to commend her for her good acting, she was trying to rub more salt into my injury. “That’s great then!” I replied, not knowing what to say next. We weren’t friends and I don’t want to see these two cheating bastards before me. Their sight irks me and all I wanted to do at this point was slap them. “What about you? How did you get in a

    Gwen. “Stalking you? Well Henry I should say this since you probably do not know, this ball,” I pointed around the hall, “Is organized by my family. The Mars, I bet you’ve heard of that name right?” I asked with a smile and the loud gasp from Emily and Henry’s wide eyes already told me my answer. I smiled widely at their shocked reaction, just what I was aiming for. Henry should know that I wasn’t a pretty girl from the street who would grovel under his feet for food and money. I had my own money before going after him because I did love him. But still, he kept on shoving his wealth into my face over and over again like I was some charity case he was taking care of. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Emily laughing. It wasn’t a fake laugh but a full belly laughter. She laughed until she couldn’t go on anymore and tears dropped from her eyes. “You….you are so funny, Gwen.” She said once she stopped laughing but that didn’t stop her from letting out a low giggle either. “Yo

  • My Ex-Husband’s Regret   Chapter Two Hundred Eighty Eight

    Epilogue. Henry. A little body jumped onto the king-size bed, waving the mattress and waking me up from the deep sleep that I had been engulfed in. The fucking hell. I need no one to tell me who it was. I snapped out of my sleep just as Gwen burrowed further beneath the comforter in her deep sleep. I tried to hold her before Nate jumped on the bed but yet again I was late. Jesus! He always do this every morning and I'm tired ot correcting him everytime. “Nate,” I called. “Papa, wake up, wake up,” Nathaniel sang jubilantly and then crawled towards me while dressed in his SpongeBob pajamas. It's his favorite pajamas. “It’s Saturday which means cake time, mommy. Wake up,” he said again but unknown to him, Gwen was too deep in his sleep to notice anyone. Crazy pregnancy brain. I swear. She wouldn't hear a thing. Also unknown to Nathaniel, he failed to notice the giant lumps of his twin under the comforter wrapped around Gwen’s body. I sighed when I caught the s

    Gwen.I couldn’t believe what was happening, one time I was angry at Henry for driving me out of the room and the next I was walking down the hallway then stopped all of a sudden because of a huge pain that hit me.And then something wet ran down my thighs, I couldn’t believe I’d just peed on myself. But after another wave of painful contractions hit me again, I knew this wasn’t about me peeing on myself, my water just broke.And let’s not talk about how Henry suddenly froze after I told him about it, I mean the man wasn’t moving at all. He was just staring at me like I’d just turned into a big alien all of a sudden.“Henry!” I called harshly, squeezing his hand tightly to pull him from wherever his head was at but that didn’t work.I groaned when the contraction hit me again. Calm down Gwen, you have gone through this before.Breathe in and out, breathe in and out.Yes, that’s it, you are doing fine……Argh.“Henry, please say something baby,” I called, hitting his hand.He blinked but

    Henry.We have been in Maldives for a while now and as much as I want to stay here with Gwen for a very long time, I couldn’t. We have a life back at home and I could tell Gwen was missing the kids and our families.So after staying for about a month—left to me I would stay here forever, we returned home and went back to our new life, only that I didn’t want Gwen to work.She always looks exhausted after coming back from work. She was having a tough pregnancy and I wanted to do everything for her. So even when she requested going back to work even though she wasn’t fine I had to say yes so I wouldn’t stress her out. Doctors advise.But for safety purposes, I got her secretary Alice to always keep an eye on her. I even made her stay in the same office as Gwen and made sure she called when she wasn’t fine.Gwen was strong, she was always there for me and the kids. She has a kind heart, she is different from every other woman and I never regret getting married to her.She’s my lifeline,

    Gwen.One Week Later.It had been a week since Ryan died and everything had gone back together, even though he kinda spoiled my wedding, I was glad Henry and I did exchange our rings and vows before his appearance.It has been a week since we got married and I still can’t believe this fine man sleeping beside me was my husband. Again.I couldn’t get enough of him, he was too unreal to be this handsome. To me, it was a crime for someone to be this cute and handsome at the same time.I couldn’t take my eyes off him as he slept soundly beside me, it was day two of our honeymoon phase—yeah you heard that right, Henry wouldn’t let it go.He said he wanted an alone time with me in a different country and place so three days after our wedding and after Ryan’s death, we left the country for Maldives.Henry had already gotten the reservation and everything ready before coming, so it wasn’t difficult for us to settle down.I could remember how horny Henry was as soon as we entered our room, he

    Gwen.“I have a question for you baby,” he started but I still didn’t look at him. He shouldn’t ask me anything when I’m still mad at him. Everything that happened today was a mess, though I have an idea about it that doesn’t mean I was ready for the drama Ryan was bringing with him.I wouldn’t lie that I wasn’t scared when he held me with that knife pointing at my neck, I was scared out of my mind that any movement would get me killed. I was scared but after seeing the reassuring look in Henry’s eyes I knew everything was going to be fine. More reason why I didn’t panic.“Tell me, apart from hearing your mother talk about Ryan, did you hear something else?” He asked and I kept quiet.When I noticed he wouldn’t stop asking until I answered I shook my head.“What if I told you that everything that happened today was planned?” He asked, dropping the bombshell.I froze after hearing that, he didn’t just say that.I couldn’t say anything, in fact, it felt like I couldn’t hear anything fro

    Henry.The gunshot sounded in the room accompanied by Gwen’s scream and I watch, I watch with satisfaction how it went straight to the fucker and hit his chest. I rushed forward and held Gwen in my arms, protecting her from the bastard's blood. The loud thud of his body dropping on the ground and the heavy sound of a boot on the sand told me everything went well.I looked behind me and saw Ryan trying to catch his breath with his hand on his chest like he could stop the blood from coming out. I took my eyes off him as my men took him out.“Are you alright baby?” I asked, looking down at my wife who wasn’t moving in my arms.I pulled from the hug and stared at her, her eyes were open but she wasn’t saying anything.“Talk to me baby, are you alright?” I asked worriedly while searching her body for any injuries. I hissed when I saw a scratch on her neck, it must be from the knife.Gwen blinked and then as she had just snapped out of her thought she held my hand, staring at me with her be

    Henry. “You want me right? Just me?” She asked and he smiled. No. “Now we are talking, yes I want you. You should know that for a long time now I have always wanted you even though you are already mine,” he said.I groaned as I flexed my jaw muscles. How delusional could one be to think someone who isn’t in love with him is his? He must be mad.“Right, then let them go and just take me,” she said.I blinked and looked at her in disbelief, she didn’t say what I think I just heard right?“Gwen…” I started only to get interrupted by her.“Take me instead and don’t hurt any of them,” I could feel my bliss boiling as I heard her repeat the same words.She shouldn’t agree to his terms, he was only above us because he was with a gun. I fear he would shoot if I decide to attack him and that is what I do not want. Someone might get hurt.Ryan paused, he did nothing, said nothing but only looked at Gwen with suspicious eyes.“You are being way too easy Gwen, tell me what do you have planned?

  • My Ex-Husband’s Regret   Chapter Two Hundred Eighty One

    Henry.I knew he would be here, I knew he must have gotten a whiff of the wedding and where it would be held. I had everything planned to capture the bastard if he gets here but I never thought he would be this early, never thought he would come and spoil my wedding.The bastard was really getting on my nerves.I looked at Gwen who stood frozen beside me, her eyes wide open as they stared at Ryan in shock. I know what she is thinking right now, she couldn’t believe he was here, and not only that he also had a gun.The whole place was completely quiet as Ryan took slow steps inside, he had a huge grin on his face while taking in everyone’s reaction.“Good day people, I bet you are all surprised to see me here?” He asked but no one answered.I glared at him while trying to bring my phone out discreetly. I quickly typed and sent a message on it after making sure he wasn’t looking.I slipped the phone back into my phone pocket after doing that.“It’s very rude of you guys not to invite me
