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

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?“

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

That was heaven for me - being held by Beth like this was my new definition of high. Before, what made me high was dodging bullets and trying to outwit Hades from the door of death.I used to live in the thrill of danger, but no more. That’s the reason I built BASS Incorporated frame by frame. For my own protection.I already cheated death once, and I am not sure I can do it again. I released her and cupped her chin. Then, I leaned my head in to capture her lips in a gentle kiss. At first, I only pressed our lips together and pulled back. Her tongue darted to worry her upper and lower lips, and I became excited.I pulled her again, and this time, I took her lips in a searing kiss.I took control of the kiss, nibbling and chewing on her lips before I let my tongue slide over the seams, wai

Brent POV“You are a billionaire.” She uttered in a daze, and I nodded my head. BASS Incorporated is a renowned surveillance and security company.“Why didn’t you tell me?”“As you mentioned earlier, your desires are simple. There is nothing about my company or wealth that could impress you.” I told her bluntly. “Still. It’s one piece of information you kept from me. I was supposed to know because I was your wife.”“At the time, the BASS was not this big. I started as a private investigator. My reputation grew with the help of Noah Hunter. He threw work my way. I specialized in corporate espionage. I unravel many cases of economic sabotage and stealing company trade secrets. Then, the Fords also gave me jobs.” “Isn’t that a bit dangerous?” Worry etched on her face, and I leaned forward to smoothen the folds it created on her forehead. “I am doing administrative work nowadays. Before, I used to handle cases that took me weeks, sometimes months, to finish.” The creases on her foreh

I pressed a hand to my chest to steady my heavily pounding heart as I stared at my daughter. I really thought there was an earthquake. Phew!“What’s wrong, Mommy?” Krizzie stopped her play to stare at me, erasing the smile on her lips.I shook my head. “I thought there was an earthquake.” Krizzie’s eyes widened, and she giggled. “You are s*lly, Mommy. It’s just me, Krizzie.” She informed me. I nodded, glad that it was just my overactive imagination.“Yeah. Mommy’s s*lly.” I agreed and grabbed her by the shoulders to pepper tiny kisses on her face. We heard a knock on the door, prompting me to release my daughter. Krizzie’s eyes connected with mine before her hands flew to her mouth. Then, without warnin

That you are the epitome of selflessness, is that it?” I snapped, too angry to care whether my voice was going through the roof. I don’t know where Brent was getting all this nerve to tell me.“You have some nerve! You who never wanted my baby in the first place.” I hissed.My teeth gritted and my hands clenched into fists. “Because it was never in our agreement, d*mn it, Beth. All along, I thought we were in sync with our ideals. We agreed not to have any babies, but what did you do? You went behind my back and got yourself pregnant without my knowledge.” Tears sprung in my eyes when I remembered all that happened nine years ago. I thought I was already past it, but d*mn, it still hurts like h*ll.I sighed, trying to keep my tears in check because I didn’t need them now. It was not g
