2025-01-10 22:01:21Hello, my loves,
As usual, when you see this page, it means you have reached the end of another installment of this story.
And as usual, I wanted to thank all of you for walking with me up to this point.
It was a marvelous journey, reading through all your comments, requests, and suggestions. After the high Flint’s story gave me, I didn’t realize that you would continue to receive Brent’s story with enthusiasm, but you did.
So, thank you all.
I am sorry, but I cannot accommodate all your requests because I have to align them to how the story should flow.
I got a request for a Riley-Krizzie story, but I already told you earlier that Charles’ story will be the last installment of this book. I can not add more because I realized I have been writing non-stop since December 2023.
I needed to take a breather, too.
I hope you understand.
Plotting a story is easy, but thinking of the scenes, and the dialogues and making all the chapters come up seamlessly was what makes it a bit difficult.
But as I usually said in my stories, nothing in life is impossible, only difficult.
Again, thank you for the warm reception.
Please continue to vote, comment, reward and give review to this story.
Bye for now.
See you in Charles’ and Jenna’s story.
Love,
J Cruz

You wanted a divorce?”I looked at Jenna, my wife of eight years, after she sprung the talk of divorce, catching me unawares.“Just sign this, please.”She sighed when I did not take the divorce papers she thrust my way.“Why?” I asked inanely.Jenna’s features hardened.“You know why.

Jenna POVI watched the man I loved for eight years walk away from me and feel my heart break in two. I know I wanted the divorce. I had planned it several times in my head, but why did it hurt so much?I prepared for this eventually, but the reality of the breakup hurt like h*ll. I heard the opening and closing of the door and shut my eyes to control myself. Why do I feel like my heart was being ripped into tiny pieces when Charles stepped away from me?I got what I wanted, but why do I feel like I lost the game? The realization that Charles will no longer be a part of my life hits me from the foundation up. The whole situation had shaken me. The mere thought that I had to face the future from hereon without Charles by my side pained me. I sighed as my vision blurred. My chest felt stuffy because I wanted so much to howl in pain, but I couldn't because I didn't want the house staff to talk. So I had to keep everything in. Charles did not even make it hard for me.

Jenna POVThe floor very nearly split in half every time I took a step because of the heaviness of my footsteps.I was so livid.My hand itched to hit Charles Ford.I was sure Charles was toying with me, and that frustrated the h*ll out of me.How dare he insinuate that my body bends easily to him? The arrogance of the man!It was short of saying that I still have the hots for him.That all he had to do was give me that come-hither command, and I would go running back in his arms.He must have a screw loose somewhere.What is the point of divorcing him when I couldn't even control my body’s responses if it wanted him?I admit I lacked determination when it came to Charles. But did he have to rub that fact in my face?I am moving on.I am drilling it into my head that I should start getting used to a life without him because we are divorced

Jenna POVI dragged Beth away. It was a struggle because she did not want to leave without confronting Charles.I don’t want to draw attention to ourselves, so I clamped a hand to her mouth before pulling her with me, ignoring her protests. “What did you just do? You walked away from Charles instead of allowing him to see you. You should have let Charles see you. Give him a chance to explain if you still matter to him. I never pegged you for being a coward, Jenna.” Beth said harshly, and all I did was bow my head down. I was tired. So tired. My shoulders started to shake, and my tears began to fall. “Jenna. I am sorry.” It was Beth calling me. Her voice filled with remorse. “I did not mean to hurt you.” Her voice lacked the anger from earlier. Now, she sounded gentle - more like the Beth I know. Instead, my tears flowed in torrents.I can not stop even if I wanted to. I was a woman of composure. This isn’t me. But I can’t seem to control myself. I was so distraught. “I kn

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
