What the hell is he doing here again?
Huling Na-update:
2024-11-04 16:58:22We all stood up to welcome him as he entered the room, each of us eager to make a good impression. I felt my heart race as his gaze swept across the group, finally resting on me. His expression was blank, as if I were just another face in the crowd. Seriously?
“Welcome, everyone,” he said, his voice smooth and authoritative, as he gestured for us to take our seats. I swallowed hard, my pulse quickening Why was my heart racing so fast? My boss cleared his throat. “Thank you for being here today, Sir Astor. I’m excited to discuss potential collaboration with your company.” My boss said and Jake nodded, his eyes studying the room. As the meeting commenced, I tried to focus on the presentation, but my mind kept lingering to the past, the moment I woke up beside him, the way he walked out on me. 'What were the chances?' I had shared something intimate with this man, and now he was sitting across from me as if we were merely colleagues. It's obvious he sleeps with different ladies, because why the hell does he not remember me? “Every partnership needs to ensure mutual benefit,” he said, his tone steady and confident as he turned to my boss. “I’m interested in what your team can bring to the table.” My boss turned to me and I felt my breath cease. “Alice, why don’t you present our recent market analysis? You’ve been working closely on this project.” Perfect. Just perfect. “Sure,” I replied, my voice steady despite my nervousness and the whirlwind of thoughts in my head. I stood up, clutching my notes tightly, and began to speak. As I detailed our findings, I could feel his gaze on me, but it was different now—observant but distant. Like he still didn't recognize who i was. “...and we believe these insights could significantly impact our strategies moving forward,” I concluded, trying to maintain my composure. I glanced at him, searching for any hint of recognition, but his expression was neutral, as if he were listening to just a random employee. “Very insightful,” he said, nodding. “I appreciate your analysis, Alice. It’s clear you know your stuff.” A rush of warmth spread through me at his compliment, but it was tinged with disappointment. 'Did he really not remember me?' JAKE ASTOR'S POV. I walked into the room, my eyes landing on a familiar figure. Her. The one girl who I had prayed never to come across again. Ever since I walk out of that house, I can't seem to get her off my mind. It's weird that I don't know why. Maybe it's because I feel bad for her. Her husband dumping her for her bestfriend. How cruel is that? Or maybe it's the sex. The way she moaned, Her soft delicate skin, the sound of her gentle voice mixed with her alcoholic breath, or maybe it was her slow movement. No! Get it together. I walk into the the conference room, my eyes leaving her to the rest of the people in the room who had stood up to welcome me. I can't afford to let my guards down. ALICE'S POV. The meeting came to a close, my boss practically buzzing with excitement. We had a chance to close a deal with one of the wealthiest and most successful CEOs in Los Angeles. That was a big deal, and I should have felt proud. “I'll definitely get back to you. It's nice to see you Mr George,” “I will be waiting on you, Mr Astor. Oh! And it's nice to see you too,” I overheard both their conversations as I step out of the door, my file clutched to my chest as my mind raced with thoughts. Why do I have to feel bad? I mean, what was I expecting? I clearly told Mia i didn't care about who he was, and I never thought of seeing him again. Bu—but, why do I feel this way? Why do I feel heartbroken? ****** It was closing time already. I began to pack my items from the table, putting them into my black handbag. I zipped my bag closed but hesitated, unzipping it again to retrieve my lip gloss. I wasn’t a makeup expert, but I loved the way my lips looked shiny. it was a thing for me. As I stepped outside, waiting for my cab, a sleek white Bugatti pulled up in front of me. The window slid down, revealing Mr Jake once more. What the hell is he doing here again?

“Get in,” he said, his tone firm. I raised an eyebrow, caught off guard by his abruptness. “Excuse me,” I shot back at him. “I said get in,” he repeated, his tone unyielding. “Why do you have to be arrogant about—?” I couldn't even finish my statement when he drove off, just like he had the first time. What the hell is wrong with him? It wasn’t long before he reversed the car, pulling back toward me. “It’s late; let me drop you off,” he said, rolling his eyes as if my presence was a disturbance to him. Even though I didn't ask him for a ride. But despite the stunt he had just pulled —and the one he had pulled weeks ago—I found myself slipping into the passenger seat. He turned the car around and drove off. While in the car, he said nothing, his focus on the road. I tried to speak, but my tongue felt heavy. What should I possibly say? “Uhmm, you didn’t respond to my question the other day at my house,” I finally said, breaking the silence. “What question?” he asked, his brows

I hesitated, staring at Ethan’s name flashing on my screen. My heart raced. What did he want now? I watched as the call ended, hoping that would be the last of it. But then it began ringing again. I rolled my eyes in annoyance; the ringtone seeming louder than usual, as if urging me to answer. Taking a deep breath, I picked up, trying to keep my voice steady. “Hello?” “Alice,” he said, his tone sharp. “What do you want?“ I asked. “Who was that guy you were with at the restaurant?” I frowned, taken aback by his question. “Why does it matter to you? We’re done, remember?” “I just want to know. Tell me who he is,” he pressed. “You didn’t mention you were seeing someone.” “Look, it’s none of your business,” I shot back, frustration boiling over. “You lost that right when you decided to cheat on me with my best friend.” “Alice, wait—” he began, but I cut him off. “Goodbye, Ethan.” I hung up, my heart pounding in my chest. What was that about? How dare he? The next day, I sat in

Hi besties! I'm Fantasy Goddess. It's really nice having you here (^_^;)I hope you all enjoy this book, and how the story unfolds.Happy reading guys! —————————————————————I watched Ethan step back, taken aback by Jake Astor's words. Disbelief washed over him as he giggled bitterly.“T—This is a joke, right? Alice, tell me this is a joke. You can't be engaged to someone this fast,” Ethan stuttered.“I’m sorry, but it’s the truth. I am engaged to him,” I replied, my heart pounding in my chest.This felt wrong. Was I supposed to play along? Why would Jake lie about being my fiancé?Ethan shook his head, a struggle evident in his expression—the way he wanted to lash out yet was caught off guard.“No! You can’t just move on this fast. It’s barely been a month since the divorce. That’s not possible,” he said, disbelief etched on his face, and a smirk escaped my lips.“And why is that? Oh! You think my life would have been miserable without you? Well, I’m glad this proves to you that it’

I took a deep breath, willing myself to regain composure. “Alice! Are you okay?!“ The sound of Jake’s voice was filled with concern. I splashed more water on my face, hoping to wash away the fear that engulfed me. “Just a minute!” I called out, my voice shaky. I leaned against the sink, staring at my reflection as if it held the answers I desperately needed. My heart raced, and my mind spiraled with questions. What if I was pregnant? I wiped my mouth again, the metallic taste lingering. I couldn't afford to let this thought consume me—not now, not when everything was so fucking uncertain. After another moment, I pushed myself away from the sink, straightening my clothes and taking a steadying breath. As I opened the door, Jake stood there, worry etched across his face. His sandy blonde hair fell slightly over his forehead, and his light green eyes searched mine. “Alice, are you okay?“ I hesitated, turning back to the restroom “I just… I needef a moment,” I said, my voic
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-01Please! i want you back!; Ex husband's Regret. At My House?!
“Congratulations, Mrs. Alice, you’re pregnant!” The words kept looping in my head all night. I tried to force myself to sleep, but I couldn’t. Not even my sleeping pills helped.I woke up the next day feeling weak and exhausted. I hadn’t slept at all; instead, I cried until dawn.---It was Saturday, and Mia had come over as usual. We sat across from each other in the living room, watching TV when I heard her voice.“Alice, you don’t look good today. Is everything okay?” Mia asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.I hadn’t told her yet. In fact, there was no way I could tell her now. I wasn’t sure I could handle her judgments, let alone whether she was ready for the burden that was about to befall us.Growing up in the orphanage, I remembered the first day she arrived. She looked pale and sick because she had been crying for days. At six, she lost her parents in an explosion; luckily, she had been at school when it happened. She didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye.I remember wal

Standing in the living room, I was frozen, staring at Jake Astor. He looked even more handsome today, his presence commanding and confident as usual. Taking a deep breath, I walked toward him, my heart racing.“Good day, Mr. Jake,” I greeted, attempting to sound casual. “What brings you here?”He smiled, a charming smile that made my insides flutter. “Can I come in?”I hesitated, my mind racing. Would he notice? The pregnancy was still in its early stages; maybe he couldn’t tell. Just as I was about to say yes, Mia chimed in from behind me.“Yes! You can come in!” she exclaimed, her eyes wide with admiration as she took in Jake’s good looks. I turned to her, momentarily stunned by her enthusiasm.Mia had always had a thing for handsome men, and Jake was no exception. I felt a mix of awe and annoyance, but I couldn’t blame her. He was striking.Jake stepped inside, glancing around the living room. “Nice place,” he remarked, his voice smooth.“Mia, can you excuse us for a moment?” I ask

I returned to the living room with two cups of coffee on a tray.He sat slouched back on my couch, legs crossed, his phone in his hands as he scrolled through it.When he noticed me approaching, he sat up, a smile on his face that made his green eyes light up.God! I hadn’t had the time to sit back and reflect on how a man could be this beautiful and yet so nonchalant about it. It was almost unfair.Maybe he did know; there was no way he wouldn’t. But the fact that he didn’t act like he knew made him even more charming. He was absolutely stunning.I placed the tray on the coffee table. He dropped his phone by his side and reached forward to take a cup while I took mine as well.I settled into a seat just across from him, watching closely to see if he liked it.He blew some air into the cup before taking a sip. My brows raised as I waited for his reaction.“Hmmmn,” he groaned, “nice coffee,” he complimented. I smiled at him, contented with his reaction, before taking a sip from mine.“
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-03Please! i want you back!; Ex husband's Regret. "Shit! What do i do?"
I watched him closely, the way his fingers fidgeted with the edge of his cup, as if he were weighing his words. There was a flicker of something in his eyes, a shadow that hinted at a deeper story. “I—” he began, hesitating. The smile faded slightly, replaced by a contemplative look. It felt like I had crossed an invisible line, and now I was the one feeling awkward. Was I pushing him too much?His body language shifted; he leaned back, arms crossing over his chest. It was a sign that he didn’t want to dive into that part of his life. And i wasn't ready to push him either.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry,” I said, my voice softening as I searched his expression. “You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.”His eyes flickered back to mine, and he nodded slowly, a small smile returning. “Thanks. It’s just… not the easiest topic.”“I'm sorry for bringing the topic up,” i said and he nodded.“It's fine,” he responded, taking another sip from the cup of coffee.What followed was s

ALICE’S POV.After dinner, I decided to head back upstairs. My encounter with Ethan this evening made me more than exhausted, I needed rest.“Thank you for dinner, I’ll head back to my room now,” I said, getting up from the couch.“Good night, and sleep tight,” Jake said with a smile. And I nodded.“Yeah, you too,” While i was about to drift off to sleep, I heard the sound of my door slowly creak open. With fear, i quickly turned around, my eyes landing on Jake.“I'm sorry, did i wake you?“ He whispered. I shook my head.“No, you didn't, but you scared me,” i said, and we both giggled slightly.“Sorry,.I didn't mean to, I only wanted to check up on you,” He said, his gone dropping.“T—Thank you,” I said, feeling warmth against my cheek.“Alright, I'll head back to my room now, please be rest assured that you're safe, okay,” he said. He was referring to the part where i said i was scared.“Okay, thanks,” I mumbled.But as he turned to leave, i felt this sudden urge to call him back.“

JUST A REMINDER READERS! YOU’RE VALID :)——————————-“These are for ladies. Who owns them?”“They are—They are my ex-fiancées. I hadn’t thrown them out, so I figured they’d fit you. I promise, she hadn’t worn them,” Jake said, his voice dropping low, an expression of sadness crossing his face.“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I thought… never mind,” I replied, but his expression shifted, confusion now etched on his features.“You thought what? Are you jealous?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.“What?! No! Why would I be? I mean, you’re allowed to be with whoever you want,” I said, turning away from him, feeling the sudden awkward tension between us.Why was I feeling this way? Was I truly jealous?“Alright, if you say so,” he said, turning to leave.“Don’t forget to come down for dinner,” he mumbled on his way out.“Sure, I’ll be out in a second,” I responded, retreating into my room and shutting the door behind me.I slipped into the pink matching top and bottoms.I glanced at my reflecti
Please! i want you back!; Ex husband's Regret. Gasp..
“What’s wrong?” Jake rushed back into the room, his eyes falling on the phone that had shattered on the ground.I shook my head, tears streaming down my face as I fell to the floor.“I don’t think I can do this anymore. I don’t think I can hide this from him any longer. He’ll keep pestering me; he won’t stop, not when I have his child inside me now,” I said, tears still streaming down my face.“Shhhh, it’s okay. Please don’t cry,” Jake said, squatting down as he pulled me toward him, his arms wrapping around me.I hugged him back, feeling the warmth of his body and the smell of his cologne. “Jake,” I called.“Mmmnn,” he responded, his hand caressing my hair down to my back.“Why are you helping me?” I asked, feeling his hand stop, as if he were frozen or something.I pulled back, looking up at him and expecting an answer, but instead, without warning, his lips slammed into mine.I gasped, my breath catching in my throat as I deepened the kiss, my tongue swirling into his as his swirle

“Get your filthy hands off her right now,” I heard. Turning to the door, I could see Jake approaching, his eyes filled with anger—rage!Before I could process what was happening, Jake swung his fist, landing a powerful blow to Ethan’s jaw. Ethan stumbled back, shock and fury flashing across his face before he crashed to the floor.“Jake!” I gasped, my heart racing as I stopped him from hitting Ethan further.Jake glared down at Ethan, who was now on the floor, holding his face. “You stay the hell away from Alice,” he warned, his voice low and menacing. “If you ever come near her again, you’ll regret it.”Ethan growled, his pride wounded but his eyes filled with rage. “You think this is over? I will make you pay! Just watch!”“Well, I’ll be waiting,” Jake replied, grabbing my hand and pulling me toward the door. “Let’s go.”As we stepped out into the hallway, I could feel my whole body trembling. But the thought of Jake coming to my rescue made me grateful to have ever crossed paths wi

I packed my bag as usual, picking up my phone when it buzzed in my hand.I glanced at the screen, a smile forming on my face when I saw Jake's name flash across it.“Hello,” I said after answering the call. “Hi, please do not go home yet. (clears throat awkwardly) I mean, can I drop you off today like we spoke about earlier?” Jake asked. I giggled, my insides fluttering as I responded.“Yes, I’ll wait, but please do not make me wait for long,” I said, still smiling. “Sure, I promise, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” “Alright, see you soon.” “See you soon, babe—I mean, Alice, shit,” he mumbled, and the call went dead.I held the phone to my ear, even though I knew the call had ended. “Did he just call me babe?
Please! i want you back!; Ex husband's Regret. Dear Baby…
But the way he stared at me, the way he began to approach me again…“What are you sorry for? Why are you sorry?” he asked, taking more steps toward me as I took more steps back, until I was trapped between the wall and him. His tall, muscular body hovered above mine.I gulped hard, trying to catch my breath, but then he took a step back, and another, a frown forming on his face. “I should, uh, I should go,” he said, running his hand in and out of his hair nervously, as if he had just realized what he was doing.I made way for him to go through the door, but then he turned to me again. “Would you like me to pick you up after you’re done?” he asked, and I nodded, still feeling breathless.I watched him open the door, and then he took his leave.Immediately he left, I released a heavy sigh, my legs felt so weak that I staggered, unable to stand properly. But then I managed to lean on my desk, my eyes wide open in astonishment.“He kissed me, I kissed him, we both kissed,” I kept mutterin
Please! i want you back!; Ex husband's Regret. I messed up.
Alice! Open up!” I heard, but it wasn’t Ethan’s voice. It wasn’t my boss either. It was… Jake.I stood up, hurrying to the door. I opened it, and standing there was Jake. My ears weren’t playing tricks on me.“Are you okay?” he asked, his tone filled with worry, even the way he stared at me.“Uhmmm,” I mumbled, unable to find the right words.“Come on, Alice, speak to me. You sounded like you were in trouble.” Just then, I came back to my senses—my confrontation with Ethan, the threats, the pregnancy.I drew Jake inside my office, closing the door and pulling him in for a hug.I don’t know why; I don’t know why I was bothering him right now, but I realized that I needed it.I felt his arms wrap around me, pulling me close. He just kept hugging me.After a few minutes, I pulled away, wiping the tears that pricked at the corners of my eyes.His body was so comforting that I couldn’t help but cry.“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Jake bent down, staring deep into my eyes. I looked awa
Please! i want you back!; Ex husband's Regret. What if…
“Is it?” he challenged, a glint of something dangerous in his eyes…Just as I was about to respond, I heard my boss, Mr. George, say, “Mr. Ethan, please, what is going on? Why are you both causing a scene?”“Sorry, sir, I’ll take my leave now,” I said, quickly using the opportunity to walk away.“God, he knows; he fucking knows. What do I do?” I kept mumbling, my heart racing as I walked into my office, shutting the door and making sure it was locked.I leaned against the door, placing my hand on my chest. Maybe it would calm my heavy breathing, I thought. But it didn’t.I needed to do something. I can’t let Ethan find out this child is his; he will ruin both our lives. I know him.I walked over to my desk, picked up my phone, and quickly dialed Jake's number.On the third ring, he picked up. “Alice,” he said immediately when the call connected.“J—Jake, are you free this evening?” I asked, staring at my wristwatch; it was past two PM.“Uh, yes, yes I am. Do you want to meet up?” he a
Please! i want you back!; Ex husband's Regret. Is it?….
But just as I was about to make my escape, I heard his voice call out to me. “Alice,” I kept going, not wanting to turn back to him, but then I felt his grip on me. My heart raced as he blocked my path, his infuriating smirk twisting my stomach into knots. He leaned in slightly, his voice oozing with arrogance. “I saw you staring at me throughout our meeting,” he said teasingly. “And why on earth would you think such a thing of me? I was only paying attention to work. The last face I ever want to see is yours,” I said, attempting to move, but he stopped me. “Wait. I’m guessing your fiancé left you, since there’s no ring on your finger?” My eyes ran down to my hand, and for a split second, I shut my eyes tight, feeling frustratedly helpless. How could I forget that Jake lied to him about being my fiancé, and now I’m without an engagement ring? I forced a smile, trying to mask the unease swirling inside me. “Well, I don’t see my life being your business anymore.” Ethan rais
