2024-12-13 20:08:24Hello my loves,
Like what I always do after concluding my previous stories, I am leaving a note to thank all of you for completing the fourth installment to the story Sorry Dear Ex, It’s Your Loss Not Mine.
You are all amazing up to this point.
I was overwhelmed by how well you received Flint, Anna/Linda and Penelope (Kwin) as part of your daily reading habit.
Unlike Marcus and Rowan, whose stories were already assured because I already gave them a foreground on the main story, Flint’s story came out unexpectedly.
My fourth installment was a toss between him and Brent, but I read your comments and many of you suggested including both, so the story of Flint began. But who would be his partner?
Then, an idea came. Why not use Linda since she had become part of the story?
I could not believe that one or two readers commented on wanting to read about Linda’s story, so it cinched! Flint and Linda’s story will be the fourth installment.
That got me super excited, I tell you.
Flint’s story teased my mind until I sat down and wrote the synopsis and the chapter outlines until we reached this point.
And boy! It was such a journey. I have never felt your appreciation for my stories as you did on this one. I was overwhelmed by the reactions, comments, reviews, gems and rewards.
Thank you all so much.
Next in the installment is Brent Anderson. Sorry, I forgot his last name earlier, until a reader reminded me (bless him!), so thank you so much.
Then, some readers mentioned wanting to read Charles’ story, too. In honesty, I don’t have anything in mind for Charles at the time because he already has a partner, Jenna. But then again, my mind got wild with possibilities.
That same night, I wrote about the opening chapters for Charles. Hehehe.
So here it is folks.
After Brent’s story, Charles’ will complete the sixth and last installment.
Please, let us stop this story with Charles. I can’t add more. I need to rest. Hahaha.
Don’t worry. From time to time, the other characters will make appearances on the last two installments to give you updates about their lives.
I also promised twin babies for Hanna and Rowan. It’s in the offing. So watch out for it.
I am so excited to share the continuation of this journey with you guys. I hope you won’t get tired of supporting me until the last page.
Love,
J Cruz
Postscript:
This is my only update today. Tomorrow will be the start of Brent’s story.

Book Five: Brent's Story Brent POV“Congratulations!” I extended my hand for a handshake, but Flint pulled me for a hug. It was his wedding day, and he was smiling happily at everyone. During the ceremony, I saw him take out his handkerchief to dab at his eyes. Still, before he put it back into the front pocket of his pants, he interrupted the ceremony, pulling at Anna’s veil to wipe her tears, too. The crowd gathered at the Basilica de Arkadia to witness this historical event, especially the women, swooned. A collective gasp was heard in the entire hall, but the couple seemed oblivious.They were lost in each other to factor in their surroundings. That moment, I believe, won him the hearts of Arkadian. If they doubted his intentions for marrying their newly installed Queen. Now, they expressed praise for my friend. We all witnessed his devotion to his wife. He was willing to play second fiddle as she assumed her post. If it were some other weakling, his pride could not take

Brent’s POV“You are such a pompous ass!” Beth Delaney, my ex-wife, hit me several times on the chest after her visitor bade us goodnight. He must have loved being the fifth wheel because the man stayed through dinner despite the fact that my daughter and I ignored him.“You are so rude to Dr. Roberts.” Beth declared angrily.I smiled gleefully, remembering how Krizzie’s attention was all on me. She ignored my ex-wife’s visitor all through dinner, and right after, we opened the presents I brought from Arkadia. She was so excited. My happiness was punctured by another blow from Beth. I raised my arm to deflect, but other than that, I let her hit me to vent out. It was better than the polite way she used to treat me. Except for my stolen kisses, which she reciprocated wholeheartedly, this was the first time Beth exploded at me after our divorce. “And what do you want me to do? Lay out the red carpet for your boy? No way!” I shot back, which made her flinched. “He’s not my boy. H

Brent POV“But I don’t know where to start. How did you court your wives?” I asked the Ford brothers and Noah as we gathered around the mini-bar.I was holding a shot glass in hand, drunk as f*ck, but still lucid enough to know what I wanted to say.It was my desperation talking, seeking answers. I had never courted anyone.The Ford brothers, Charles, Rowan, Marcus, and Noah Hunter, looked at me as if I had grown another head.Noah spit out his drink. It was a good thing he was able to think quickly and let his shot glass catch everything, or he would have splashed it all over us.&nb

Brent POVI left Noah Hunter’s house with the wadded bills in my hands. I did not know what to do with them, so I stuffed them into my pocket. The bills created a bulge, but it did not matter. I am not making an impression on anyone. In truth, I don’t need the money.Like the Fords and Noah Hunter, I was loaded. I now have my own security and surveillance company that has clientele all over the world. In the years since Beth and I separated, I built an empire that took most of my time, and now I realize that all of this was for naught. I was busy building a house, but what was the use of the house if I was going to lose the two people who could make it home? I have tons of money, but if I lost Beth to that perfect doctor. Money is worthless. I already lost Beth and Krizzie once, and if I don’t work fast, I will lose them permanently. “Come on, let me take you home.” Rowan tapped my shoulder just as I was mulling over calling a cab or driving my car. “Don’t worry about me,” I

He twirled my hair and parted it in various directions while he looked at my reflection in the vanity mirror.Then, he took out the scissors, and I began to panic.“What are you going to do?” I nervously asked when he started to snip at my hair.“I am making you more attractive.

I wish Riley would give me, too.” She said dreamily that had me stumped.“Why do you want flowers from Riley?”“He’s my boyfriend, Daddy!” Came Krizzie’s reply.Horror filled my face at the idea. My baby is only eight. How could she be thinking about courtship and romance at that age?“

Last Updated : 2024-12-17SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 384. Tell That to the Marines
Beth POVI don’t know what Brent is trying to do, but he was getting on my nerves. When Krizzie sprung the idea that Brent was taking us out on a date, I had half a mind to refuse. But I could not let Krizzie down. I saw the expectant look on her face. She was happy with the prospect that Brent was going to date us. “We will go take your car,” Brent suggested, but I shook my head. “What about your car?” “I can leave it at the parking lot, and I will ask one of my men to pick it up for me,” I told her. I shrugged my shoulders, thinking that if I refused, it would end up in an argument. You can never win an argument with Brent. He was the type who pushed and insisted, and right now, I am at the state where I find confrontations and discussions bothersome. I would always choose to be quiet to maintain the peace. We were about to board my car when I heard someone call my name. I turned around to see that it was Dr. Roberts. When I stopped, he jogged toward us. “I am sorry, bu

SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Author's Note
Speechless! This word best describes what I was feeling right now. Do you know that you were amazing readers? Yes, you who stayed with me until this page. When I first started writing this story, I had so many trepidations. I did not think I would be able to pull this through. First, it has a little similarity to my previous novel, Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back, but my editor believed so much in my draft that she encouraged me to consider doing this. (My heartfelt thanks to Lyra Pinter, who had been a constant source of support.)My feeling of uncertainty magnified when I received so many attacks when the story was first published. Too many detractors lashed out at my characters that I had a hard time concentrating.I know what I wanted to do, but the first people who were vocal about the story did not give me enough encouragement. They did not give my characters a chance to redeem themselves as the story progresses. Fear grips me everytime I face the blank screen of my computer.
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 472. Epilogue
Briana’s POVThe soul always knows how to heal itself. I had often heard that phrase before but it was never more gratingly obvious til now. After I volunteered to be Charles and Jenna’s surrogate, I had not counted on the pain the act would invariably inflict on me. At the start, it was all too easy. For 40 weeks, I would be carrying their baby in my womb, and that was it. Jenna and Charles will have that baby they desperately wanted. Of course, Noah and I submitted to counseling before I did this, but I never expected that when the time came that I had to turn over baby Amira to her parents, it would hit me so hard. I had not counted on how my self-sacrifice would backfire on me. It hurts so much. I was so heartbroken when I realized that Amira would no longer be a part of my life. Noah took me to several sessions of counseling, and with his support, I was able to get past the hurt and accept that Amira was not mine.The rest of the family helped. My brothers hovered over me
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Author's Note
Hello my loves, Jenna and Charles’ story was one of the most painful stories I had written so far. It was because I had to dig up long-forgotten events in my life.But I had to do it for you to be able to understand the motives behind Jenna and Charles’ actions and the pain they invariably inflicted on each other. Jenna and Charles were both non confrontational. They keep things in stride and hope for the best, but sometimes even with the best intentions, our pain could not lay hidden for too long. It needed to be addressed and voiced out, not because you wanted to lash out at your partner or give them the same pain they were giving you.Sometimes, our silence is our cry for help. Or it was a way to protect ourselves. We retreated into the inner recesses of our soul to find solace and comfort because the people we expected to comfort and provide solace for us could not hear our cry for help.But all’s well that ends well. Am glad for those people who had requested me to do a story
