REGRETFUL CEO WANTS EX- WIFE BACK CHAPTER 1
LISA`S POVI watch couples begin to stand from their tables and walk to the exit door of the restaurant. Most of them are holding hands, talking to each other, and laughing at their banter. The restaurant is filled with soft laughter that begins to simmer as the place remains deserted, midnight lurking around the corner.Today is a special day for us, Valentine`s Day and our third wedding anniversary. This is also the day he proposed to me at the top of his skyscraper building before we were married the same year. The venue was adorned with colorful flowers, balloons, and elegant red and white linens. A candlelit table, complete with a full-course meal prepared by highly experienced chefs, was ready for us. We watched the moonlight and the twinkling stars around it as he whispered to me. Dirty things. The ones that had my panty soaked. He held me tightly to himself until there was no room between us, staring into my soul. “You are my world, my everything. I`d rather die and not have y

LISA`S POVI stare at my twelve-carat rock of a ring as tears well down my eyes. I will undeniably miss this place, despite the lack of sunshine and rainbows every day. I had built a life here, even though the foundation seemingly was not very strong.“I can`t believe he had the balls to inform you about the divorce in such a ruthless fashion,” Jane says exasperated. “Did you tell him about the…”"No."“What will you do about it, keep it?”“I don`t know.” I sigh. “Camilla is also pregnant.”“Say what? How do you even know that? You first met him yesterday, right?”“James told me.”“It`s okay, darling. You`ll be fine.” She looks me in the eyes, smiling weakly.I watch as Jane packs my clothes into a suitcase. “Make sure you call me every day. I want to know the details, especially the part where I have to welcome the newborn.” Jane says as she zips my suitcase. "She has been my one and only true friend in this house, and I always told her almost everything about my life, including the

LISA`S POVThe Middleton family is the epitome of evil.When you hear evil the first thing on your mind should be the Middleton family. They are the people who would be content to forcefully take away the small possession you have and make it their own with no remorse whatsoever. Even if they have to take away your own life, they would be willing to do it without a bat of an eye. They have never cared about other people`s welfare. Power and wealth to them is their right and they are the only people that deserve it.And that was with no exception to us.They took what was ours—my mom`s custom rings. Her sweat and blood. Her life.I wipe the snot running down my nose and inhale gulps of air. Looking in the mirror I am met with red-shot eyes. Memories of the past continue to seep through my mind. The past brings a surge of pain in my already wounded and battered heart.8 YEARS AGOI watch as the sleek Mercedes Benz rolls into our compound.Mother is sitting in her chair crafting a ring.

LISA`S POV“Who the fuck does this woman think she is…” I grab Milly trying to prevent her from going after Rachel who is slowly walking, shaking her BBL fake butts. “She threatens us and walks just like that?”Milly yells at Rachel who is continuing to walk. “Do not make me catch you and make you swallow your smelly veneers, you evil bastard…”Rachel turns and Milly immediately falls silent. “I don’t talk to high school dropouts and failures.”Umm.If you want to get at Milly, insult her based on her education level. Worse have Rachel in the picture. Milly could not finish her high school education because Rachel refused to continue paying her tuition fees and, when she found a scholarship that promised to support her until she finished her undergrad, she got arrested. She spent four years in prison because of beating up Rachel in her front yard. Milly had dressed up in all black and hit Rachel beyond recognition with a baseball bat. As she was dragging her to the pool that was nearb

LISA`S POVI scroll through our latest text messages.A photo of us that James had taken using his phone is the last text message he ever sent to me. We had gone to a museum gala in New York City that day when he took a selfie of us on the balcony of the building. His pearly white teeth shine through the camera. His blue eyes gleaming so bright, happiness plastered on his face, I wonder what happened to us.What happened to our loving relationship that made him want to get rid of me so badly? So bad that he would be willing to throw away what we had built over the years? It pains me so much that he was never willing to fight for us.I am over it. Completely over it. I do not remember the feel of his sultry touch on my skin when we were snugged beneath the sheets during those cold and windy nights.No. The way his warm breath, laced on my skin, his sexy body covered in perspiration, and his blue eyes piercing through my heart while he was eight inches deep inside of me is foreign to

LISA`S POV“We have checked his blood sugar levels and his blood pressure. Both are under regulation and he is going to be okay.”The doctor says before walking over to other patients in the other wards. Teresa Grace Hospital is so huge and prestigious. The kind of hospital that only millionaires can afford. I stare at the chandelier that is hanging in the reception room. Magnificent. I yawn, my eyelids begging to shut. I glance at my phone that is about to die and I cannot believe it. It is 6.00 a.m. and have not gotten out of this hospital. All night I spent sitting on this chair waiting for the doctor to get him from the Emergency ward. The receptionist also spent a good amount of time trying to reach McGrath`s family and inform them of the incident. He does not have a wife or children. What? This is insane. Well, they also confirmed that indeed he was Roger McGrath, the billionaire who owns McGrath Media house.When I was in high school I wanted to apply to a scholarship and inte

LISA`S POV“I know this might be a tough revelation for you, but I hope you handle it gracefully.”I remain silent, and my jaw slacks. Some celebrity media personality gets an accident and twists his leg in my front yard and apparently, he is my father. Just like that? No. No. No. Why does the universe enjoy playing tricks on me?My mother. She has never told me about anything of the sort. She cheated on my dad with a McGregor? No. She could never do anything like that to my dad. She loved him. I saw it. I saw the way he treated her—with love and admiration.The way they talked, spent time together in the warehouse, had long conversations, read each other books, and took long walks in the park across from our house.They never had long arguments or tried to pick up fights with each other. They loved each other, and I saw it. I know. Well, at least I thought so.I look at him and find him staring at me with loving eyes. He rummages into the bag again and brings out a bunch of photos.

JAMESShe bats her eyelids, sexily, handing me the folders.“Hey, James I was thinking if maybe we could go on a date tonight. You know, like what normal people do.” She smiles, revealing her pearly white teeth.“Vanessa, you know I`m a married man.” I shift under her gaze, her cleavage threatening to be the end of my life. “I can`t.”“Why, what happened to you? Are you okay?”“Fantastic.”She stares at me, biting her pouty red lips. “Look, James, I don`t know what`s wrong with you but if anything is happening in your life you can tell me. You know you can always talk to me.”“Listen, the talking part is the one I don`t want. You might as well return to your office, I`m quite busy today.” I rise from my seat and walk to the door, opening it widely.“James?”“I`m not telling you shit, and I need you out of my office right now,” I say, my voice icy while I open the door for her.“Fine. I was trying to help. You don`t have to be rude to me.”“I don`t remember asking you for any help.” I s

JAMESI watch as she slams the door of her black BMW and rushes to the back door of the house, clutching her heels and a red handbag. Her hair is tied in a messy bun, contrary to the neatly laid ponytail she had when she walked out of the front door of this house this morning. Her cheeks are blushed and the red matted lipstick she had on this morning is ruined. I zoom in to her eyes—smudged mascara, red fiery eyes.She tiptoes into the house before sighing as she opens the fridge for a bottle of water. She drinks the entire bottle as her chest heaves. She takes a box from her bag and pours beef stew into a pot and fried rice into another cooking pot. Camilla pours bleach on the kitchen sink and hastily gets the dishwasher before she changes into grey lounge clothes and walks up the stairs.A text pings on my phone.Hey babe. I just made dinner. Rolling my eyes, I slam my laptop and walk to my office window, looking down at the bustling city beneath me.Are you coming back home today?
