Regret of Her Ex-Husband Chapter 49 Nathan To The Rescue 3
CHARLOTTEWhen Harry looked away with guilt flashing in his eyes, I knew I and him right where I wanted him.At the same time, I confirmed my suspicions all these years.I remember the first day Liam had called me a cheat.It was the same day he’d looked at me like I wasn’t the woman he married. Like I wasn’t good enough for him or anyone.It was also the same day his views on Sophia miraculously changed, and while I’d been grasping at straws and trying to adjust to my new identity - as the imposter child - Sophia had swooped in and sank her claws in my husband.Right from that day, Liam had shown me hell, and that hell was what led to him wrongfully accusing me of pushing Sophia off the staircase, leading to my arrest.And the cause of all that was Henry Windsor.The wealthy tycoon who’d drugged me on a particular night, causing me to sleep with a stranger I still didn’t remember till today.I couldn’t control the many emotions coursing through me, so I kept mute, willing myself to s

CHARLOTTECharles did not just say that. My son did not just say that.My entire body froze.For a split second, I didn’t know what to do. I could only look at Nathan, whose brows were furrowed.He stared at the little boy before him, and then, ever so slowly, his eyes flicked up, meeting mine.I swear my heart almost stopped at that one glance.“Oh, Charles, you surely don’t mean that, do you?” I let out an awkward laugh to ease the tension in the room.He opened his little mouth as if to say something, but I didn’t let him.“Noah…” I spoke up, calling my brother.His brows raised in question when he looked at me, and a smirk was pulling at the corners of his mouth.The fool seemed to be enjoying this. Bastard! I almost spat out.“Yes, sis?”“How about you take Charles out? Get him snacks and maybe some fresh air, yeah?”“Sure.” Noah, still smirking, said, immediately grabbing Charles by the hand.He led him from the room without looking back once.And as the door clicked shut, I bre

CHARLOTTEDischarge day came, and with it, a feeling of freedom and excitement.The moment I stepped out of the hospital, the breezy air whipped against my face gently, and I closed my eyes, relishing it.I took in a long, deep breath.Finally, the air around me didn't smell like disinfectant and antiseptics.Gaze scanning through the entire cars parked in the lot, another breath of relief escaped me at the realization that Nathan hadn’t come.Despite his asking to be notified, I'd done the discharge processes myself and prepared to leave alone.I didn't wait for Nathan because if he saw me, he would know about my date for today.The blind date I hoped would help solve Charles's fatherly concerns.I'd asked my brother to set me up with someone, and he’d done that.Fortunately, too, everything was already planned and set.The date would be at Denver's restaurant by 2 p.m. I kept praying and hoping that this blind date, whoever he was, would solve all of Charles’s and my problems.The d

CHARLOTTEMy jaw dropped slack at Nathan’s last statement.Did he say we were on our way to the marriage registration office? Did he just say he was going to marry me?“What?”He spared me a glance. “You heard me right, Charlotte.“Of course, I heard him right.Yet I was unable to understand it without becoming a wreck.Why was Nathan deciding this all of a sudden? And had he forgotten my reputation?“Y…you can't just decide you want to marry me, Nathan,” I stammered, swallowing hard, “It's absurd, and…”“And it can serve us both well.” He interrupted, his entire demeanor so calm it spooked me. “I have carefully thought this over, Charlotte.”“Why?” I found myself asking.For everything dear, I couldn't imagine why he would suddenly bring this up.Was it because of what he heard in the restaurant? Did he think I was that desperate?“You are asking why?” He chuckled. “It seems you’ve forgotten that you proposed to marry me sometime before.”My cheeks flushed pink at his reminder.That

NATHAN“Your father is doing many terrible things to suppress the brewing scandals,” Dan informed me as I tapped my foot impatiently against the car floor.“Information reaching me is that he's buying witnesses and trying to get people to testify for Liam and Melina if they should ever appear in court. He is also pulling hard strings and involving many higher-ups in this case,” Dan continued his gaze still on the road. He was driving now. “And he doesn’t care if these things affect you.”As he continued speaking, my fist tightened.Of course, he'd try to do everything to get his wife and son off the negative limelight, a contrast to the way he reacted when Mom was on her deathbed.Every time he treated Melina with love and affection, I couldn’t help but wonder if he genuinely didn’t have a hand in the death of his first wife—my mother.No, he did.It was evident in how he’d treated the women in his life.He treated one - my mother - like a castaway and the other like a jewel.“Pfft.”

CHARLOTTEI didn’t tell Noah about Nathan, and after talking for a bit, I said my goodbyes and left with Charles.I felt guilty as I thought of this secret I was keeping from Noah.If anything, he deserved to know about what was happening to me. He’d suffered a lot because of me, and not telling him this felt like a stab to the back.‘You’ll tell him, though. Not just now.’ I tried to assure myself, but it wasn’t enough.Nothing was enough.The cab we entered earlier pulled up to a suite complex’s driveway, and after paying the driver, we got out.“Mommy, where is this place?” Charles asked as we began walking to the suite.“It’s our new home.”“Our new home?” He asked, puzzled, and looked at me.Sighing, I crouched down, palmed his cheeks, and explained.I also didn’t tell him about my marriage to Nathan, but I let him know that Nathan had agreed to be his stand-in dad and, as such, had asked us to live with him.“Really?” Charles clapped his hands happily, and I nodded. “Let’s go in

CHARLOTTEDinner was over, and I busied myself with clearing the dishes while Nathan and Charles talked about stuff I didn't know in the living room.Later, the sound of their voices diminished, and curious, I hurriedly finished my kitchen duty.Then I returned to the living room to check up on Nathan and Charles, but they were no longer there.With my feet quickening, I searched the rooms and finally found them in the guest room.Standing by the slightly open door, I peeked in without making my presence known.Nathan sat on the bed, softly reading words from a book he held while Charles intently listened.From where I stood, I saw Charles’s eyes drooping, and as if on cue, they fluttered shut.Thinking Nathan would leave immediately, I started to leave when suddenly I caught onto something out of the corner of my eye.Nathan leaned forward and kissed Charles on his forehead. Then he tucked him in.I watched the entire interaction in surprise.I never thought I’d see the day when cold

CHARLOTTEThe air left my lungs. My heartbeat quickened. My head swam. My breathing increased.My vision became clouded, and it felt like my entire world was spinning.However, warm, strong hands were on my skin amidst all this, cradling and caressing me back to reality.“Charlotte?” A deep voice I recognized very well called out. “Charlotte.” He repeated my name and asked. “Are you okay?”Was I okay?I didn’t even know the answer to that.All I knew was I felt hazy, and my eyes fluttered open and closed with strange speed.“Charlotte.” He called my name again, shaking my arms, and slowly, my eyes balanced.I blinked once. Twice. I was coming back into focus.The first thing I saw was dark eyes staring down at me with concern and confusion.The look had my heart throbbing furiously in my chest, and I almost winced out loud.Blinking again, I raised my right hand and placed it on thick muscular skin. A chest. Nathan’s chest.“Are you okay?” He asked for the umpteenth time, and since wo

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.

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

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
