Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 15 Heartless Human
CHARLOTTE‘I am going to help Charlotte gain custody of her son back, no matter the cost.’These words echoed in my head over and over.Hearing them, words that I never would have expected to hear from Nathan Hamilton, made me feel as though I had finally been set free.It felt like a huge burden placed on my bones had been removed, and now I had more strength to fight for what was mine.Now, I could also hope.I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again because words failed me. I also didn’t want to say anything that would ruin this.Besides, a furious Liam still stood nearby, and I knew he wouldn’t hesitate to laugh if I spoke out of turn.But that wouldn’t stop me.I opened my mouth again, this time ready to show Nathan my gratitude, but just before I could, the shrill ringtone of a cell phone cut me off.It was his.Nathan took out the phone from his pocket and swiftly swiped the answer button. “Yes?” He asked into the receiver.A frown appeared on his face as he listen

CHARLOTTEA doctor approached me, standing beside the bed where I lay. He was peering at me with extreme concern.“Ms. Smith, did anyone declare you fit for this transplant?” He asked, and I shook my head no.“Well, that sums it up. We tested you just now, and from what I can see here…” He waved a paper in front of my face. “You are unfit for this operation.”I didn’t know whether to feel relieved or not. There was the lingering threat of Liam using Charles instead if I didn’t go through with this, and the reminder sent a chill through me.“I don’t even know why you were rushed here when the patient doesn’t need the bone marrow now.” The doctor spoke again, and my brows rose in surprise.“Excuse me?““Ms Sophia went into a temporary shock earlier, but she’s quite stable now. I learned she’d made a prank alarm, and her nurse took it quite seriously.”What the hell?!So Sophia had deliberately faked her condition so that I could be wheeled into surgery? Was this how much she wanted me d

CHARLOTTE“Noah… wh…what happened to you?!” I asked, the words coming out in a jumble.He stepped back and tried to hide his arms, but I glared at him.“Talk to me.” I urged him.I was already feeling guilty for not noticing the wounds earlier, and I’ll be damned if I didn’t get to the root cause of whatever caused this bruise.“Oh, this?” He began to wave his hands while smiling—a fake smile actually.Again, the thing about Noah was he was a good liar.Straight-edged, without missing a single breath.The only way I knew how to catch him in the act was to see if he was looking at me while speaking. And now he wasn’t.“I got the bruises here. It was an accident. I was working on an unfamiliar car model, and some metal scrap came loose from one of the wheels. I was clumsy, I guess.” Noah laughed as if it was a joke.It was clearly not a joke. And like I’d guessed, he had lied to me.I pursed my lips. “Tell me the truth, Noah.”He looked at me now, and when I met his gaze, I saw somethin

CHARLOTTESurprisingly, when I dialed Liam’s cell, the call went through, and he answered on the second ring.“Hello…” I started to say but was instantly cut off by loud music and laughter coming from the end of the phone.Was Liam at a party? I wondered.“Hello, Liam.” I managed to say again, but this time, the phone beeped, and the call disconnected.“What the…?!” I almost cursed, and Noah looked at me from across the dining table with concern.“What is it? Did Liam pick up the call?”“He did, but I…I…” I didn’t even know what to say. “I’ll call him again.”Noah nodded, but he didn’t stop watching me as I quickly dialed the number.The phone rang thrice, and when I thought he wouldn’t answer, the call went through.“Hello, Liam.”“Hello?” Instead of Liam, I heard an unfamiliar feminine voice. “Who… who… is… is this?” She sounded drunk and slurred her words.“I’m Charlotte. Liam’s ex-wife. Is…is he there?”I never said anything funny, but all of a sudden, she began to giggle. “Oh! Yo

CHARLOTTE‘You will help me destroy Nathan.’My brain froze.That was practically impossible.“What? I asked dumbly.“You heard me. I said…” He paused, still staggering towards me. When he got close, he leaned in, his breath reeking of alcohol and repeated smugly. “You will help me destroy Nathan’s ass, Charlotte.”“Whatever this is, you don’t actually mean it.”“Oh, yes, I do, ex-wife. I meant it when I said you’ll bring down that motherfucking son of a bitch.”I gasped.“But…but why?” I stammered.“And how is that supposed to be any of your concern.” Liam’s eyes flashed sinisterly. “You said you would do anything in exchange for my help, and this is what I want. It’s simple, no?”I wasn’t even referring to him asking me to do this impossible task. I wanted to know why he was hell-bent on destroying his half-brother.I’d lived with the Hamiltons, and while I knew the rivalry there, I never imagined Liam would take such an extremely selfish route.“So?” He sneered. “Are you going to c

NATHANBending Liam to my will wasn’t hard but this wasn’t about me.It was about the woman and child he’d trapped in a cell of his own making.I knew Liam had no intention of letting them out or granting them freedom. That was how wicked and selfish he was.Anger burned within me, but most importantly, pity. I pitied Charlotte and her son. And I shouldn’t.I shouldn’t have associated myself with her or her son, but despite telling myself I needed to stay away, something kept drawing me back like a magnet.It was as if she was calling me, begging me to rescue her.Even now, as I started the car’s ignition and began driving, I felt her gaze on me. I could tell she wanted to beg me for help.She hadn’t said a word yet, but I knew it.It wouldn’t be easy.I’d told her I would help get custody of her son back, and in return, she would be my business associate for God knows what, but those were just words.Getting back Charlotte’s freedom and that of her child required careful planning.Ho

CHARLOTTEI had a new home.I had a new job - one I strangely liked.I had the full support of Nathan Hamilton without even verbally asking for it.If this was a dream, I didn’t want to wake up. I wanted to stay in it for as long as possible.As I kept replaying these thoughts, I walked into the apartment’s kitchen, finding it equally exquisite in its décor.All the utensils were high-end, and when I went into the fridge to check my options, I was surprised to see the vast array of ingredients.This place was a chef’s dream come true. And now it was mine.Taking a deep breath, I splayed my hands across the counter as I thought about what to do.This would be the first time I would officially be cooking for him.I’d cooked once for him that night, but it didn’t count.Tonight, I had to make a good and lasting impression. I was going to do my best.I wouldn’t lie, I felt nervous, but I trusted my cooking skills. It had never failed me.So, I took in another deep breath and began.I retu

CHARLOTTE‘Something only you can give me, Charlotte. Something very unique.’Nathan’s words echoed in my head over and over again.“Oh my God,” I muttered softly as I stood in the spacious living room, the luxurious decorations becoming a harsh blur in my peripheral.My body shook, my heart pounded erratically against my chest, and my palms felt wet and clammy.‘You have to calm down, Charlotte. Just calm down.’ I could hear my inner voice speaking and trying to convince me to take a step back, to breathe.But it wasn’t easy.How could I be calm when Nathan refused the only solid offer I’d thought of? And now he wanted me to give him something only I could provide. Something unique.There was nothing else. No fucking thing.I couldn’t give him money even if I had it because it wasn’t unique. I couldn’t give him leaked information, too, as he had people doing that for him.So, what else could I give him?‘Your body. You could give him your body.’ The voice in my head chirped. ‘Maybe h

CHARLOTTEMy heart thumped a thousand times its normal pace per second.I couldn’t believe it. Did I say that? Did I just ask for Nathan’s hand in marriage?Yes, I did. And the thick silence enveloping the room proved that.While I shook internally, outwardly, I maintained a confident front, hoping something good would come from my insane request.I never meant to say this, but it was my only resort with everything happening.I never intended to force Nathan to marry me. I wanted Sir Williams and Lady Melina to see how headstrong I was.They couldn’t control or manipulate me however they liked. If they thought I would let Liam go easily after everything he’d done to me, then they would have another thing coming.I bit my lips anxiously before turning to steal a glance at Nathan.His dark eyes shone in surprise briefly before changing to a calm look. He wasn't offended, nor did he rebuke me.
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 43 Making A Request
CHARLOTTEEvery second that ticked past as we remained in this awkward silence made me nervous, and I couldn't meet Nathan’s eyes.He stared at me, his gaze boring a hole so deep into my skin that it almost hurt.After some minutes, I decided to break the fucking silence by speaking up.“I—”“How—”We spoke at the same time and laughed nervously like two teenagers caught making out.I cleared my throat. “You should go first,”His eyes twinkled amusingly, and he leaned forward.“I don't mean to push it…” he sighed, and then his eyes narrowed with that same concern I was getting used to seeing. “…but you're okay, right?” He asked.“I am, sir Nathan.”“Nathan, please.” He cringed. “Call me, Nathan.”My lips stretched into a smile. “I’m fine, Nathan.”&l
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 42 A Heartfelt Reunion
CHARLOTTE(PRESENT DAY)The initial numbness that had held me in its grasp earlier vanished the moment my eyes blinked open for the second time.As the harsh sunlight rays made me squint my eyes, my consciousness spiked from bleakness to awareness, and I was suddenly aware of everything.The smell of antiseptics reminded me that I was in the hospital.And Nathan.My heart caught in my chest at the thought that he might have left, but when I snapped my head to the side, my worry melted, and my heart bubbled.His head leaned sideways against the bed just by my side, his eyes were shut, and his soft snores floated through the monitor’s recurring beep to my ears.Watching him this close-up did something inside me. I almost didn't want to sit on the bed, but I did. I noticed he'd removed his suit jacket and draped it over the headrest of the chair he was sitting on.And his tie hung loosely from his neck.He was a worn-out mess.A handsome mess who'd kept to his word and stayed beside me f
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 41 Flashback Pt 2
NATHAN(Flashback continued)Sanity was far from reach, and maintaining patience was excruciating. I could barely count how many times my heart thumped in a second or put an end to the nerve-wracking turmoil inside me.Charlotte wasn’t fine.Her heart had stopped.That was the only information they left us with, and almost an hour passed, and still nothing.My hands were cold and shaking, and with shallow breathing and impatiently tapping feet, I muttered. “You should leave now,” I said to my assistant.“Now?”“Yes. Go get the evidence before it is tampered with.”“Alright then,” Dan muttered, and with a hesitant nod, he left.I sank my gaze to the ground.God knows that if Liam were to come within my line of sight now or any moment from now, I’d choke him with my bare hands.Strangle the bastard and make him almost taste death so he can experience what Charlotte was going through.He—The emergency room door opening caught my attention, and a relieved breath escaped my lips as my gaz
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 40 Flashback Pt 1
NATHANA DAY EARLIER (Flashback)I changed my mind.I’d considered going home before visiting Charlotte but decided against it.Facing my father wasn’t at the top of my list right now.So I told my driver to drive straight to the hospital.When I arrived, I went straight to the receptionist's desk, signed off on Charlotte’s card, and was swiftly directed to her room.When I arrived, I met Dan, Charles, and Noah sitting beside a still-unconscious Charlotte.Noah’s face looked pale, and his eyes were puffy, indicating he was crying. Dan had his hands around him and squeezed every once in a while.Charles also looked miserable and kept looking up anxiously. The little kid was the first to spot me.“Uncle Nathan!” His squeaky voice called out, drawing everyone in the room's attention.He jumped up from his chair and ran over to me.“Uncle Nathan!” He repeated as he wrapped his tiny arms around my leg. “Thank God you came. I thought you wouldn’t come.” He sniffed loudly, then began sobbing
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 39 The Monster
CHARLOTTEI saw him again.The monster.His evil laughter echoed through the cold silence like a rumble of thunder, and I could barely hold a breath as I ran from his hot pursuit, my body slipping into weakness as I tumbled against something on the ground.He was terrifyingly close, and even in the frenzy of my heart and the horror that befell me as I stared at him, all I could think about was my son. Charles.I had tucked him away from the danger, but who was to tell he hadn’t befallen another?I let out a shocked gasp as he approached and suddenly lifted his hand so I could see what he was holding.Charles.My little boy.Blood oozed from a gash on the side of his head, soaking his hair and clothes. He was staring at me wide-eyed, and I returned the stare with a horrifying one.How? How did he get to Charles? How?“No. No, no, please. Let my son go.” I begged, but he ignored my pleas—the vile man.“Mommy,” Charles whimpered, a tear falling from his eyes. “Mommy, save me,”“Please, l

NATHAN‘…Marry my daughter, and your apology will be accepted.’That was a laughable request, and as it repeated in my head, I couldn’t help snorting at it.Felix Chandler grimaced as if offended.“You think it’s stupid?” he frowned deeper.“I can’t be made to marry your daughter over some mistake of the past, Mr. Felix,” I stated matter-of-factly. “but I can recompense.”His anger grew evident on his face.“You can recompense?”“Yes. I can compensate Wendy or you for—““Are you trying to buy our apology?” he interrupted harshly, his lips curled up in a sneer. “Do you think we’re cheap enough to—”“First, Mr. Felix,” It was my turn to interrupt him. “I don’t intend to ‘buy’ apologies. I want a situation where both parties are happy, and marriage doesn’t do it for me.”“I don’t—"“I’ll give her anything else she wants except marriage,” I stated. “A healthy space? A good phycologist? A dating partner? Even money, millions? Name it.”“Mr. Nathan—”“I won’t offer your daughter marriage,”
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 37 The Chandlers
NATHANIt took me a few seconds to regain my self after the bombshell dropped.“Tony really confessed.” I said more to myself than Dan but I heard him hum.“Who is she?” I asked, my brows furrowing with attentiveness and briefly one name stood at the back of my mind.Charlotte.“Do you remember Wendy Chandler?” Dan asked in reply and my brows furrowed even more.The Chandler name wasn’t a strange one, as they were one of the influential families in the country.Third only to the Windsors and Hamiltons.So, of course, I knew who that woman was and I face palmed myself, groaning loudly.As if sensing my dread, Dan spelt out who she was clearly. “She was the girl that mistakenly entered your room that night, five years ago…and to further repeat Tony’s confession, the woman you slept with.”“Fucking hell.” I cussed, gritting my jaw so hard it hurt. “This must be a joke.”While I didn’t remember that night in clear details, there was no way I could forget my encounter with Wendy.Daughter
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 36 The Revelation
AUTHOR’S POVIt only took the briefest moment, as everyone remained still with visible shock at what Charlotte had done to herself, before chaos ensued.“Charlotte!” Noah called out in a yell as he watched his sister fall the ground again.Unsheathed panic streamed through his blood vessels as he tried to writhe out from the guards holding him to get to her, but every struggle turned useless as they held him in place and he could only wail.Liam, however, had frozen with a bolt of shock.He hadn’t expected that.That she could ever pull off self-harm to protect someone she loved.Yes, he’d known things about Charlotte in the years they were married, and he wouldn’t deny that she was kind and selfless but hurting herself because of a loved one.Willingly embracing death to save her kin…it was new to him. And for the first time, he felt totally discombobulated, and afraid.“Let me go!” Noah’s determination to get to his sister was still unfettering as the bodyguards resilience in lettin
