Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 18 Help Me, I Help You
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

NATHANThe elevator doors slid open, and I exited the building complex and headed toward my car.As soon as I got in and started the ignition, I rolled down the windows, letting in some cold air.But even though it was a good thirteen degrees outside, and a heavy breeze flew in as I drove, I was still sweating like crazy.Every part of me felt hot, and my mind was racing. I placed a hand on my forehead, rubbing my temple to ease my discomfort, but it didn’t work.I tried closing my eyes briefly, wanting to focus on anything other than the gut-wrenching ache in my head and my groin, but as I did that, all I could see was her.The source of my torment. And agony. The one thing that had been running through my mind constantly for the past few days, even when I didn’t want it to.Charlotte.I saw her.Every fucking inch of her.Every single goddamn detail.From her fragile half-naked body trembling as she undressed herself to the pert curve of her breasts…God, those breasts!She looked so

NATHANTo salvage what was left of my thoughts and put the days’ events behind me, l decided to take an icy shower before preparing for the night.After the long bath, I proceeded to my bed, hoping to fall asleep quickly, but instead, my mind went into overdrive with all the things that had happened today.One particular event stood out amongst the rest.It was my last encounter with Charlotte in that damned apartment.“Fuck!” I cursed frustratingly and rolled onto my side.I grabbed a pillow and held it tightly to my chest, breathing rapidly as my eyes burned.I closed them tight, trying to get rid of the images that still plagued my subconscious, but to no avail.“I think about you at the office. I think about you at home. When you’re near, I think about you still…” I trailed off into an incomprehensible murmur before releasing the pillow and burying my head in it. “…what the fuck are you doing to me, Charlotte? Just what?!”Why wouldn’t she leave my head? And she had to strip naked

NATHAN“Charlotte…”The name left my lips, and my heart jolted as I met her dark gaze.No, it couldn’t be. It was not her.“Charlotte…” I mumbled again, easing up as I tried to caress her face, but just like she’d not been there, she vanished, and I—I panicked, a hoarse cry escaping me as I bolted upright in bed.The sheets around me were damp with my sweat, and my breathing was rapid and uneven.A dream. Just a fucking dream. That was what this was.But when I looked around my room, everything felt so real. My head was lightheaded, as though I’d just orgasmed inside her physically, and my body thrummed violently.Shit.I placed my palms on the mattress, trying to stop the trembling.I closed my eyes briefly, then forced myself to breathe deeply again.Charlotte.There was no way the mysterious one-night-stand woman could be Charlotte. No fucking way.My mind was possibly playing some trick with me. Yes.The only reason why I’d seen Charlotte in my dreams was because of the pent-up e

Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 100 A Beautiful End!
CHARLOTTETHREE MONTHS LATERToday was my wedding day. As I walked down the hall towards my husband, my eyes watered, lips stretched into a smile.I took one step after another, and my mind flashed back to the day he officially proposed to me.*“Come on, get ready. I want to show you something,” Nathan said as he tugged me out of bed.I frowned.I had been feeling sluggish today and wasn't particularly interested in going out.Besides, I wanted to finish the romance novel I was reading, but Nathan didn't budge as he tugged me up.“I promise it will be worth your time. Please?” he pouted, and I laughed at his cute appearance.I gave in and got dressed.He waited patiently for me, and since it was almost dusk, I decided to wear a beautiful strapless gown he got for me the other day.Nathan whistled as he took in my appearance.“I don't know where we are going though. Is this alright?” I asked, and Nathan just nodded.“You're perfect. Come on, let's go.”Nathan was in a perfectly good m
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 99 Due Retribution
NATHANI met Lucy the day after Charlie found her, and she explained everything she knew.Lucy explained how sad and heartbroken my mother was and how she tried to hide all of her broken feelings from me.She told me how my father and his wife, Melina, killed my mother to take over the company, which was rightfully hers.When my parents got married, my mother was just the rich daughter of rich parents. But after her parents' death, the company automatically passed to her.I guess that was when William started to abuse her.As her husband, he had rights to the company, but my mother held all the power.The company was to be mine when I came of age, but William and Melina killed my mother and took over, making me a CEO while still having the company in their grasp.I thanked Lucy profoundly for agreeing to talk to me.She permitted me, so I recorded all the information and took it to the police as evidence.William was arrested, along with his wife, Melina.My father was furious that I

NATHANThe sun rose before us, and I was still sleepy when the doorbell rang. I frowned as I glanced at the time.It was seven in the morning.Who could be at our doorstep this early?I groaned at the relentless ringing, and Charlotte's body became aware of mine.She opened her eyes and met my gaze, a smile on her lips. My heart skipped a beat as she smiled at me.She was so gorgeous, damn. Her smile, sleepy eyes, and messy hair made my head flutter, and I leaned in to kiss her.“Good morning,” I whispered. She nuzzled against me.“Good morning. I thought I heard the doorbell ringing,” she yawned as she sat up.As if on cue, the doorbell rang again.Charlotte wrapped a robe around her body, and we padded to the living room to see who it was.I asked her to step back while I opened the door.It was a delivery man.Several delivery men.The one closest to me glanced up at me before looking back at his clipboard.“Hello. Is this Ms. Charlotte's residence?” he asked, and Charlotte walked

CHARLOTTEWe spent some time with my new family, and when it got late, we decided to leave.Selina was sad to see us go. She tried to get us to stay overnight, but we told her we would come and visit her soon.Besides, we needed to get home for Charles.The drive home was silent. Nathan was focused on the road, and I kept thinking about what happened.I recalled the day's events, from the hospital visit to the massive feast, and almost combusted from the emotions running through me.By the time we got home, I was still too shell-shocked to speak, and Nathan embraced me.“You've been quiet, my love. Are you alright?” his brows were furrowed with worry, and I rested my head on his chest before I answered.“I'm fine. I am. I just can't…it's so hard to believe,” I said softly.“What is?” he asked.I had a feeling he knew what I was talking about, but he needed me to say the words, to articulate them, so that I could better understand myself.“That I finally found my new family. And they'r

CHARLOTTENathan held me for a long time, and we stayed in the restroom.During this time, I reflected on the reason I’d come here in the first place.The dawning news of my new family—my new beginning, my new home.My chest constricted, and in seconds, tears filled my eyes.I had a mother now.The thought hit me suddenly, so unexpectedly, and the first sob left my lips.A mother.One who loved me.I remembered our encounters and how warm she made me feel, how she laughed with me, how she made me feel at peace.I remembered our connection and the ease with which she related to me.I remembered our shopping spree and how she convinced me to play dress-up. I remembered us laughing at our ridiculous dresses and how beautiful they were.Selina loved me right from the first day we met at the beach.The sob turned into full-fledged tears.Nathan patted me on the back, saying nothi

CHARLOTTEA few days later, Selina called me to inform me that the DNA test results were ready.Nathan drove my nervous self to the hospital.When we got there, we saw Selina outside. She was bouncing on the tips of her legs and immediately embraced me when she saw me.“Hi, Selina. Shall we go in now?” I asked, but the older woman shook her head negatively.“Oh, there's no need for that, my darling. I already got the results. Here, see for yourself,” she said, handing a document to me.My heart pounded, and my hands shook slightly as I opened the document.I gasped when I saw it, tears springing into my eyes.I was Selina's daughter.Selina was my biological mother.A sob escaped my throat as I read the confirmation over and over.After all these years of searching, all these years of misconceptions and lies.After all these years of suffering, of paying for a crime she didn't
Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 94 A Traumatic Past
CHARLOTTEWhen I returned home, I couldn’t stop thinking about Julian's comment about Nathan's company.Julian had hinted about Nathan losing everything he worked for.What did that mean?Was someone trying to overthrow him? I wanted to call him, but I didn't.He had already started work today, so if something were wrong, he would deal with it.Right?Nathan was competent. So I did not need to worry.I paced for a while, then decided to do something to distract myself from overthinking.It had been a while since I baked, so I went to the kitchen and arranged some ingredients.The worry in my body eased as I kneaded the dough, and I relaxed.I got into a rhythm, losing myself in the chore. My body moved fluidly, the motions as natural as breathing, and as I baked, I sang.I soon lost track of time.Nothing else mattered outside the bubble I was in except for my dough and my song.I

NATHANI was on my way to the office when my phone rang. It was a strange number, and I was reluctant to pick it up.But my instincts told me it must be someone important, so I picked up the call.The call was from the city’s prison, and I frowned when the warden told me an inmate wished to speak with me.Who could it possibly be?I waited as the warden handed the phone to whoever it was, and immediately, I heard the familiar tenor of Sophie's voice; I wanted to hang up.“Before you do anything, I want you to please listen to me,” her voice was weak, and I could feel the rattling pattern of her breath.She didn’t sound very healthy.“And why should I listen to you?” I snapped.“Because the doctor said I'm dying, and I don't want to die with this weight in my chest. I need to see you, please,” she begged, coughing as she spoke.I said nothing as I hung up and parked t

CHARLOTTEI woke up in Nathan’s arms, happy and contented.The past few days were like heaven.Nathan spent every moment with me, spoiling me rotten.We went shopping, ate fancy courses at exquisite restaurants, attended posh and elegant parties, ate street food, and did everything we could think of.I nuzzled into him, not wanting to lose the warmth, when suddenly my phone buzzed on the bedside table, and I groaned.I wasn't willing to stand up yet, but the buzzing was insistent, and I sighed as I sat up and reached for the phone.It was Selina.The older woman was excited when I picked up her call, and I felt guilty for not wanting to pick up earlier.“I hope I'm not disturbing you?” she asked.“No, no. Not at all, Selina. Is there anything I can help you with?” I asked.“Oh. The thing is, I was wondering if you'd like to go shopping with me. I'm bored, and I don't want to go on my own.” I had a feeling that Selina was pouting as she spoke, and the image that came to my head at the
