M I C H A E L

I 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'v

  • 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 changed

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 ever

    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 tra

I had fucked up real bad and this was a lesson for me.It was the harsh truth and it was a painful one.But I deserved it.I hurt her.I was the one who let her go.I was the reason our relationship ended.I lived my life for years, uncaring about how she felt.

    E L L E"Oh my God." She mumbled."Look, nana, it's not what you think. I swear, we're not irresponsible. Yes, we're having a baby, but, we're in love. This was not a mistake. It's not something I regret.""Oh, sweetheart. Of course, you're not. I'm not angry, honey. Don't even think that.""Then what? What is it? Please say something, Nana.""Eleanor, this is the best surprise of the day. I thought I was going to get a marriage announcement, but this is an even bigger shock." She smiled widely, pulling me into her arms."Nana." I whispered, relief filling my heart."Oh, sweetie. My granddaughter is pregnant. That's such a wonderful surprise. This is the greatest news. A little baby. Don't ever think I'm disappointed in you, Elle. Because you're the most careful girl I've ever known, and if you are pregnant, I know you love that man too much to risk it all for him. You wouldn't put your baby at risk for anything. You're my brave, independent girl. I've raised you to be a strong woman,

We don't have to do things according to his wishes, because, we're doing things the right way. We're together and we're happy. He'll come around once he has gotten over the shock. It will be my surprise to them when we're back in the US, but for now, we're going to bask in our little happiness. Just the two of us.""You're absolutely right. But, I have to ask. Is that what you want? Do you want to get married?""I'm not in a rush, baby. We've only been dating for seven months, and having a baby was not planned. But, we're not doing anything wrong. It's not like I'm pregnant, and we're not together. We're in a serious relationship, and it's not a crime to have a baby out of wedlock.

    E L L EMikhail and I sat in the doctor's office, anxiously waiting for the test results. We had decided to come to the hospital two days ago, to run a test just to confirm the pregnancy.We were both very eager to find out the details.I was so happy, but Mikhail was ecstatic.He had been talking about the baby all night.I couldn't believe the news had made him so excited. I had just been scared for nothing.I knew Mikhail was a man who loved and wanted a family, but seeing the joy in his eyes was the best feeling.Avery and Giovanna were equally excited about the baby, literally already talking about names and colors for the nursery.It was a great feeling, seeing that the people who were closest to us were happy."Are you okay, sweetheart?" Mikhail asked, his hands massaging mine."I'm great. Are you okay?""Of course. I've never been better.""Me neither. I'm so excited.""Good."

    S E B A S T I A N"Partially. It's not the only reason, but yeah. It's because of her. I can't move on. She was the one for me. The one I've always wanted, and no one has ever been able to compare. Even though I know, that's not fair, and she has moved on. I don't know how to move on, without her. Every time I close my eyes, I see her. All I want is her. And no one else.""With all you've said, I think the first thing you need to do is forgive yourself for making a mistake. You've lived with the consequences for so long, and you can't seem to get over it, but the only way you're going to feel better, is if you stop beating yourself up. You were a victim of circumstances, and you didn't have a choice. It wasn't your fault. And no matter how much you beat yourself up for it, it's not going to change the past. We are humans, and learn from our mistakes.""How do I do that? How do I forgive myself, and accept the fact that it wasn't my fault when it's really my fault? I didn't trust her.

Two buttons open.I looked good, but I was feeling so sick.So sick, just thinking about going to a therapist and talking about my problems, which were caused by my own hands, to another person.A fucking stranger.But, I had promised Mom that I would go.So, I had to.After all, she was right.I had nothing left. If this was the only option, I had to take it.Fuck.What the fuck would a therapist understand? How do they do these things? Do I just sit there and tell her what happened?How could this possibly help me?But, I was doing this for myself. For Elle.

Perfectly drawn and carved by me, for the past few months, I've had at least eight pictures of her drawn, painted, and carved.She was the only one I could draw, think or talk about, the only person who was constantly on my mind.I stared at my latest painting.It was a portrait of her.In my arms.Smiling.Happily.Like she used to, when she fell in love with me.I wanted her to look at me like she used to, to touch me, to let me touch her, and most importantly, I wanted her to smile at me the way she was smiling in my picture.This was the closest I felt to her, the closest I felt to her presence. She was all around me. The only way to see her.The only way to feel her.But it wasn't the same.I would give anything just to hear her voice one last time.One last chance.To see her.Touch her.Hold her.But she hated me.She didn't want anything to do with me.

    L A N AThe rage that has been building up in my body for the past few weeks was the highest I had ever felt it. The only time I had felt anything even close to this was the night Mikhail broke up with me.It was as if all my senses were heightened to their max, all attempts to get Mikhail back to myself was proving futile.Not only has Elle made it difficult for me, now they were out of the country to God knows where. I was livid, literally going berserk trying to find out which country they had led to, but there was literally no traces of them. No single trace. I had my resources try to track their every move, but the fact that I was running out of options was slowly driving me crazy. I didn't know how much longer I could go without Mikhail in my life.How much longer I had to watch him be with someone who isn't me."You know they aren't going to be there forever, right? They are going to come back and you can perfectly snatch Mikhail back. Why don't you just wait it out?" I heard

He said, walking into the room and removing his shoes."Uh, nothing much. Just relaxing.""Hmmm." He stared at me for a while, probably noticing the tension in my face."Are you okay?" He cupped my cheeks, looking into my eyes. I fidgeted, unable to keep eye contact for too long. My gaze fell on the floor."Is there something wrong?""N-no. Nothing's wrong. Everything is great.""You're acting strange. Come on, talk to me. You can tell me anything."I swallowed hard, staring into his eyes."Mikhail, I need to tell you something, and I'm scared.
