Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 15: Stay Away
E L L EIt was our last night in London and Mina insisted on we celebrating our winnings. My dad couldn't hide his happiness on the phone call when he heard I'd won the deal against Sebastian.Making him proud made me happy.We decided on a karaoke bar since it was Mina's choice and we would be able to celebrate, have fun, and drink as much as we wanted.I was wearing a skimpy white dress and paired it with white heels and a white clutch. I decided to go all out and went a little bold with the makeup, opting for a darker and sultrier look. My body was aching all over due to stress, but I wasn't going to let it ruin my night.We arrived at the club and it was packed with people. The music was blasting, and there was a crowd singing along. We grabbed a couple of drinks and headed towards a room to start the night.After a few hours of non-stop drinking and singing, we decided it was time to head home. I was a bit tipsy and felt dizzy."Mina, I don't feel well." I whispered, leaning on h

E L L E“Remind me why I’m doing this again?” I groaned, looking at my mother who had a proud smile on her face.“You’re not getting any younger, sweetie. You have to move on with your life and start having your own family. We only have you and your brother and the house is quite boring without you both.”Without exactly saying it, I already knew what she meant. She wanted grandkids. I felt a painful pang in my chest as I looked away. He or she would’ve been five. I would have had a five year old child and probably would have had another within those years, until my dreams were shattered by who I considered my best friend.I lost everything because of her. I lost my baby a few days after learning about my pregnancy. My world crumbled apart.My mother sighed, taking my hand in hers. I felt a lone tear escape from my eye and quickly wiped it.She smiled sadly at me, placing her other hand on top of mine.She was the only person I had ever told. I didn’t even tell my father. Just her. Sh

E L L EAfter a few weeks of thinking about my parent's proposal, I had finally made up my mind. I would at least meet the men they had chosen for me, and go on a couple of dates. But, if it didn't work out, I would not go on any further.I sat in the kitchen, drinking coffee and eating some chocolate chip cookies. I had an early meeting today and needed the extra caffeine to keep me awake and alert.My phone dinged and I reached over to grab it.**Mom:**Good morning, sweetie.How's work?**Me:**It's going well.Had a few meetings with potential clients. What's up, mama?**Mom:**Just wanted to tell you the first suitor's name.You're free tonight, right?I took a deep breath and nodded to myself.**Me:**I'm free, yes.What's the name?**Mom:**He goes by the name, Prince.Meet him tonight at 7:30 pm at the restaurant,La Rue.Don't be late, darling.**Me:**Fine.I'll let you know if I can't make it.Talk later.Bye.**Mom:**Okay, sweetie. Have a great day.I love you,Bye.I put

E L L EMy mother was still apologizing for the date, and promised the next suitor would be better.I sighed and sat on the sofa, drinking a glass of wine."I swear, mom. If the next date is another jerk, I'm done. I will not waste my time on any of these assholes. I am a grown woman and can choose who I want and don't want to date. I do not need your help.""I understand that, honey. But, you can't possibly expect me to believe that you would never settle down and find a partner. You need a man in your life, honey. A husband. Someone to support you, and take care of you. You're not getting any younger, darling. You're almost 28, you should be thinking about settling down, getting married, having kids. This is your destiny.""Why does destiny have to involve a man, hmm? Why can't a woman live a happy, fulfilling life without the need of a man? Is that so wrong?""No, darling. But, that is the way of life. You need a man. All women need a man. You were made for him. Just as he was made

E L L EJames was punctual.I was impressed.He was already waiting in his car when I got out of my building.My mother was right about one thing. He was tall, and very handsome. He looked a little intimidating, and had a stern look on his face, as if he was angry or annoyed about something.Maybe it was just the way he looked.He got out of his car, dressed in a black suit, looking sharp."You must be Elle," he said, his voice a little deep."Yes, and you're James?""Yes, I am. It's nice to meet you.""Nice to meet you too," I smiled.He smiled, and offered his hand. I took it and we shook hands."Shall we?" He asked, gesturing to the car. I nodded.He walked over and opened the passenger door for me. "Thank you," I said, smiling at him."You're welcome," he smiled back.After he got in the driver's side, we were off."So, where are we going?""I booked a table at The Grand," he answered."Ooh, a fancy restaurant. I love the food there.""Me too," he chuckled.The car ride was quiet,

E L L EOne month had passed, and I was quite disappointed that I hadn't gotten a call or text from James.He had wanted us to go out more after the first date, but up until now, he hadn't contacted me. Maybe he didn't like the date and only agreed because he was too nice to tell me. I thought that our date was fine. I mean, we had a lot in common, so I thought that was a good thing. We both liked to read and write. We both were very creative people. I couldn't help but feel that he wasn't interested in me.I wasn't hurt by his lack of communication, but I thought I was at least making a progress with my life. Now I felt as if all the hard work I put into getting myself back out there was wasted. I didn't regret going on a date with him, but I also didn't want to date anyone else at the moment. I was willing to at least try with James, and it seemed as if he wasn't interested in me.Maybe he was too nice to say anything. Maybe he thought that was a polite thing to do. Or maybe he didn'

E L L EI saved his address and closed my phone. I couldn't believe I was doing this, but it was too late to back out now. I was going to have to meet James tomorrow and see where it went.I let out a sigh and got back to work. I tried not to think about what could happen, and just focus on my work. But, the anticipation and excitement was there, and it was hard to ignore. I didn't know what was in store for me, but I was ready for whatever it was.I was curious and a little nervous about meeting James at his house. But, I was also excited. It was a chance for me to get to know him better, and get my mom off my neck. I spent the rest of the day working on the new product line, trying not to think about my date with James. But, it was hard not to.After a long day at work, I headed home. I was excited to get some rest and relax before my date with James."How was your day, darling?" My mom said through the phone. "It was hectic, but it's always that way when we're preparing for a laun

E L L EMy body stilled and the blood drained from my face as I stared into the eyes of the man who had broken my heart.I didn't know how long j stood, staring at an equally shocked Sebastian, but eventually, James cleared his throat and broke the silence."Elle, this is my business partner, Sebastian. Sebastian, this is Elle, the woman I was telling you about," he said, introducing us."Nice to meet you," Sebastian said, his voice low and his eyes full of anger. I was thankful that he didn't tell James anything. He only played along and acted like he was also meeting me for the first time. Sebastian took my hands, his grip tight, and the tension was evident. His gaze was piercing and his jaw clenched. The air was thick with tension and I could feel my palms sweat."Nice to meet you too," I managed to say.James' phone rang and he excused himself, "Excuse me, give me a minute," he said, leaving Sebastian and me alone. We stared at each other, the air between us thick with tension and

E L L EI could never see him the same way again, I could never love him anymore. He was the one who broke me and he thinks a simple realization of the lies told about me would make me jump back into his arms.It's laughable.Sebastian has a lot to learn about me, and how he could never hurt me again.The moment I was free from his hold, I never looked back.And it's a choice I don't regret.The hatred I had for him faded away the moment I fell in love with someone else. I didn't even understand it. How did the thought of Mikhail's eyes, his lips, his hands, his words, his smile, replace every single thought about Sebastian?The hate.The pain.The fear.It all disappeared when I thought about Mikhail, and everything he'd done for me.And everything he will continue to do for me.Sebastian had lost his hold on me and the only thing left for him was an empty void.And he will keep searching, but he will never be able to fill the hole left in me by Mikhail.My phone rang, breaking my tr
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 151: First Love; False Love
E L L EA smile appeared unconsciously on my face as I reminisced about my weekend spent at Mikhail's house. He has been nothing but wonderful and kind to me. He's everything I ever wanted and more.We talked for hours, cooked together, showered together, and just enjoyed each other's company.It was the most relaxed I've ever felt.Being in Mikhail's embrace made me feel like nothing bad could happen, and for once, I actually believed that.I was happy and I wanted this feeling to never end.It's been years since I've felt this happy.Years.If anyone had told me one year ago that I'd give love a chance once again, giving my heart and trust to someone, I would have laughed in their face.Now, look at me.I've been single for over five years and have never had any interest in a man until now. Until him.He swept me off my feet and did what another man couldn't do for over five years in just a few months. He fought to win my heart and won it.Mikhail has made me want to be with him eve

M I K H A I LShe stood up, pulling down her panties , and taking off her nightgown, her gorgeous body on display.I stood up, wrapping my arm around her waist and lifting her, her legs encircling me. I was painfully hard and I couldn't even ignore it anymore. I kissed her lips hungrily, her neck, her jaw, her shoulder, making my way back to her lips.She was moaning, grinding against my erection, and I felt like I was going to burst.I set her down on the desk, and stepped between her legs, unbuckling my pants and pulling them down."God, I need you so much." She said, and grabbed the hem of my shirt, pulling it up, and over my head."I'm here, baby. I'm here." I murmured, pinching one of her hardened nipple and she moaned. I was so turned on, my cock throbbing in her hand as she pumped me, her hooded eyes fixed on mine."Take me, baby." She spread her legs wider, an irresistible invitation into her cunt. I didn't have to ask twice.I lifted her slightly and lined myself up, thrus

M I K H A I LElle was sleeping in my bedroom and I needed to get some paperwork done before she wakes up. I took the day off, focusing on spending more time with her. "Why don't you get a restraining order against him? This guy seems like he's got a few screws loose, bro. God knows what he'll try to do to her next." Ivan said through the phone and I sighed. "Trust me, Ivan. I've tried proposing that to Elle. But, she's really underestimating that man. She thinks he won't come back.""She's being too naïve. Guys like that don't take no for an answer.""And they sure as hell don't stop after the first warning. That's why I want a restraining order. But, she's being too stubborn and she's refusing. He'll come back. It's a matter of when. Not if.""Maybe the guy learned his lesson and will leave her alone. You've already beaten the shit out of him. That's not enough for you?""You and I both know he's not going to stop until he has her back.""So, what are you planning on doing?""I do

E M O R YI was seated in a room, my lawyer, Mr. Jeremy and his lawyer and Michael were in the same room.We were all sitting around a table.And the silence was unbearable.The tension was thick."We are gathered here to discuss the final settlement.""As we have already informed you, the case will begin tomorrow, and this is your last chance to come up with a reasonable settlement. We don't want to take the matter into a court trial. If we can settle this today, it would save everyone a lot of trouble. So, I'll give you a minute to think about our offer." Mr. Jeremy's lawyer said. They both turned to look at me, waiting for my response.I looked at Michael, who was staring at me with a straight face. He was looking at me with a blank expression, and there was nothing there, no emotions. No remorse, no concern, no pity.He was cold.He was not on my side, and he wasn't fighting for me.I turned back to Jeremy. "We don't have to do this. I swear to never use those chemicals for my pr
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 147: End of an Empire
E M O R YI was angry.I was pissed.It's been two days since Michael had the audacity to suggest I give up on the company for that man. Give up all I'd worked for. He had the nerve to come and rub it in my face.How was I supposed to survive without that company?Without my share of the profit, without the money?Was he seriously asking me to choose between my freedom and the company?And what would be the use of my freedom if I couldn't provide for myself? No one would want to employ someone who has jail records, and I wouldn't be surprised if people shied away from me because of my criminal record.So, if I lost the company, I lost the business and my reputation.My life was over.Everything was ruined.And he has the nerve to rub salt on the wound by telling me I could go to jail.Who the fuck does he think he is?Why does he keep meddling in my affairs?What did he want from me?Does he hate me that much and want me to suffer?What is his deal?I was pacing around the cell, wait
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 146: Freedom or Life in Jail
M I C H A E LI arrived at the cell the next day, another day of leaving a crying Luna at home with my sister.I was starting to think she has colic, but I wouldn't be surprised if she's reacting to the tension surrounding her.She has a lot of tension surrounding her. Something that definitely wasn't safe was a two weeks old. She doesn't deserve to be thrown into our mess. And Emory was no different. Luna deserves to have a mother who loves her unconditionally and not use her for her own dubious intentions.And now, I was going to be the bearer of bad news.The officers gave me the familiar judgemental glares as they searched me and led me to the cell.And there, Emory was lying on the small string bed, her hand covering her face.She seemed to be lost in her thoughts.I cleared my throat, and her eyes snapped open.When she saw me, she slowly stood up and came closer, wrapping her fingers around the bars.Emory has spent exactly on week in prison, and her face has completely change
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 145: One Condition
M I C H A E LI was standing in the company of one of the most influential men in the country.The man was powerful.The man was respected.I was able to pull a few strings and get him a meeting with me, and I was now facing him.He looked intimidating and strong, his gaze was cold and his features were sharp. He was dressed in an all-black suit and was staring straight ahead.His presence demanded attention."How many I help you, Mr. Man?" The term was disrespectful, but the last thing I wanted was to cause any problems when I needed his help.He was my only hope right now. The only man who had the power to get Emory out of the mess she had gotten herself into.Hopefully, it all works out like I have it planned or else I'd be fucked."It is a pleasure to meet you, sir. I'm Michael Carter""Michael Carter. Never heard of that name before. Who are you and why have you come here?""Mr. Jeremy, I came here to talk about the woman who you had thrown behind bars."He cocked an eyebrow. "I'
Regretting Divorce: Return of my heiress Ex-Wife 144: Dwindling Hope
M I C H A E LThe next morning, I was all dressed up to go to the police station. My sister was going to watch after Luna while I went out.Luna was crying and whining as she reached her tiny hands up to me and the sight of her looking like that broke my heart.I would have stayed with her, but this was something urgent that couldn't wait."Come here, little baby," my sister cooed, reaching her hands out to take her, but Luna only cried louder.Dana was the only family I had who didn't give up on me because of my lifestyle. Surely, she wasn't in support of all I did in the past, but she was the one person I could rely on.She had her own daughter and had a stable job.But, the sight of my niece was enough to tell me that taking care of a child was no joke and it really wasn't. Luna was the cutest and prettiest baby, and her cries were louder than anything I have ever heard, and her tantrums were far worse.My mother has long disowned me, swearing that she never wants to be associated
