SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 15. My Head Screams Her Name
Noah Hunter POV“Noah!” I turned my head around and saw Britney White, my fiancée, waving at me. Two people flanked her. The one on her right is her manager, whom I have known fairly well over the years, and the one on her left is her bodyguard.When our eyes met, she dropped her carryall bag and ran toward me, ignoring the buzz around her. People started smiling at the sight of her weaving her way around the crowd and getting their phones out to catch her on video.As an international model, Britney is quite popular and is considered a celebrity in her own right. When she dashed in my direction, she was shedding all the air of sophistication surrounding her, looking like a girl so much in love. My lips curled reflexively at the corners before I moved my feet toward her. When we met at the center of the large airport, she clung to me, wrapping her arms around my neck to kiss my lips. “I missed you.” She told me, gliding her lips to mine. For a moment, something in my mind flash
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 16. Loathing Fills My Heart
Noah POVI slid inside the car to join Britney, and without looking at her, I ordered the driver to pull away, which he did immediately following my orders.I checked my watch and started counting the time. I could not wait to drop Britney off so I could do my thing.I felt Britney shift in her seat while she drew closer. “I am sorry. Are you still upset with me?” She asked.Gone was the flamboyant persona she assumed at the airport, and she was back to the timid Britney I used to know when we were together, one of the things I liked about her.“I am not,” I told her tersely.I was looking forward. My mind is busy conjuring the face of that woman in the airport. Her eyes were the same as Briana's, but the resemblance stopped there.While Briana had pale brown straight hair, the woman at the airport had wavy blonde hair that shone when it caught light.Her body commands attention – from the small of her waist to the gently flaring hips and gorgeous legs. My hands itched to run my
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 17. Had an Easy Way Out
Noah POVWhen the car turned round the block, and we were well out of sight of Britney’s apartment, I did what I had been itching to do earlier. I took my phone out and called Brent, a private investigator, in my employ.He works for me independently but not for the company, and over the years, we developed mutual trust that paved the way to becoming good friends. He was one of my people now, not just an employee. He owns one of the top surveillance and investigative agencies in the country. “Morning, boss. What’s with the early call?” He said flippantly when he picked up.“Stop making me feel like a stuck-up CEO,” I told him succinctly, which earned a low laugh from him.“Okay. Let’s cut to the chase and get it on. What do you want me to do?” He asked, sounding all business-like as usual. His voice lacked the carefree tone from earlier and was now all seriousness.Suddenly, I began to hesitate. I don’t know how to begin.Asking Brent’s help would open up a can of worms I had pai
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 18. Briana Ford
Noah POVAfter meeting Brent, I went back to the office.“Good morning, Mr. Hunter.” My assistant met me at the door and followed me inside the office.When I sat down behind my desk, he handed me my schedule for the day.I noticed I have a TV guest this afternoon. “Did you check with the studio coordinator who are my co-guests in the interview?” I asked, wanting to plan.As the CEO of one of the oldest chains of hotels in the country, I have often grace shows as part of our PR campaign. Though it was something I did not enjoy doing, I felt the need to engage in activities such as this for exposure. Not only does it help expand our clientele, but provides us an edge over our competitors.“I heard the Fords are coming into Redwood. Their new hotel completed construction last month, and the management is gearing up for a grand launch. Their CEO will be joining you for the television interview this afternoon.” Chris reported.He mentioned another company aspiring to get a chunk of Red
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 19. She's My Ex
Noah POVHeat spreads quickly to my cheeks at her rudeness.It was not something I could not let slide. No one disrespected me like that.“Noah, thank you for gracing our show. Per usual, you are superb.” Amy Smith snatched my attention away from Briana Ford while she gushed my praises, unaware of the inner turmoil inside my head.“Come again?” I asked when I did not get her words.My brain has malfunctioned and got stuck to one image - the minx of a girl named Briana Ford.Amy leaned close and whispered near my ear, and something inside me recoiled. My displeasure doubled. “Maybe we could extend this meeting to dinner. Alfredo’s mentioned in its recent advertisement this new addition to their menu. One of my co-workers said it was spectacular.” She droned on, but my attention was not on her.“Sorry, Amy, but I have a prior engagement,” I cut her off brusquely.I heard her gasp of surprise at the uncharacteristic show of rudeness. I ignored it while I sprinted after Briana Ford.
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 20. Party
Briana POVWhen the car stopped outside our home, Marcus got out first to open the back passenger door and help the kids. But the nannies were faster. They already unstrapped the triplets from their seats, so when Marcus opened the door, they all jumped up at him, giggling.They clung to Marcus before they slid down his body one by one and ran toward the house.The nannies ran after them, leaving Marcus and me outside. “Careful children!” Marcus shouted his reminder after the kids scampered off toward the big mansion we recently relocated to.I looked at my sons as they ran away and felt a twinge of pain in my heart.The first time I saw Noah after five years was a shock. He looks the same, but not the same. It must be because I never really knew him. I thought I knew, but I was wrong. “Let’s go to the playroom.” I heard one of my sons, Riley, shout, pulling me out of my trance.Then, I watched as his brothers Brix and Mason nodded in agreement.Seeing the kids happy puts a wis

Briana POVThe Night of the Party.“You look stunning as always, Briana.” Martina, my assistant, commented. She was the only person from my work group that I invited to come along with me to Redwood City.She came by the house to help me prepare for the party tonight.I smiled my thanks.When she left, I studied my face in the mirror. I checked whether my make-up was all right or that no strand of hair escaped my braid. I made sure that I would wow everyone when they saw me tonight.I am sure that most of the attendees to the party Matt Bryant is hosting will be the same people I knew while married to Noah.I presume some of them even witnessed my humiliation when I was thrown out of Hunter Enterprises five years ago.I had to make sure I looked my best. I don’t want people to see any trace of the old Briana."I am no longer Briana Johnson Hunter. I am Briana Ford. I am a force to reckon with." I repeated this mantra over and over in my head while I took deep breaths to calm my n
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 22. Smart and Cunning
Briana POVI felt the intensity of Noah’s gaze and clamped harder on my brother’s arm. “He’s here,” I whispered in Marcus' ear.“I got you,” He whispered back in assurance.When I looked in the direction where I had last seen Noah standing, he was no longer there, making me heave a huge sigh of relief.We started walking. I held onto Marcus’s arm, and he patted me reassuringly.“Chin up,” Marcus commanded, reminding me of all the years of training I embarked on to possess that air of confidence befitting the CEO of Rosewood Hotels.At the sight of the entrance, I felt a sense of yearning.This was the hotel I had known all my life. The hotel I worked hard for. Noah and I worked tirelessly during our three-year marriage to make Hunter Hotels one of the best hotels worldwide.When we got inside, we drew attention.It did not come as a surprise to me. My brothers were equally fit, tall, and handsome, but Marcus had the training. He was able to project himself well.And because he was

SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 340. Anna Peterson
Flint POV“I don’t know what to think anymore,” I admitted to Brent while drinking vodka in a private room inside the Blue Canyon, a country club in Redwood where we both enjoyed VIP memberships.“Why don’t you ask her? Instead of overthinking and suspecting your brother, go to your wife and seek the answers to all the questions crowding your head.”“I really love talking to you, Brent. You are like a cold bath - scary but necessary.” I told him bluntly.Brent chuckled.“You needed it.”I clapped Brent on the back.“Thanks.”“Let’s go. It’s two in the morning, and the manager had been giving us deadly looks already. I think this club is closing for the day.”After Brent settled the bill, we rose from our seats and ambled back to his car.I left my c

He looked tired, but he was looking at me with love in his eyes.It had been four years since I took a chance on him, and his love never wavered. In truth, it had intensified through the years.

Flint POVRowan’s question, asking me about fathering Anna’s baby, hangs in the air.It wrapped around us like an elephant in the room.I took in my brothers’ look, feeling like the odd man out.Can’t I be man enough to take on my responsibility?

Anna/Linda POV“Hey, sis! ” Flint walked toward his sister with a wriggling Penelope in his arms.When he reached her, he stooped to kiss her cheeks.Penelope saw what he did and did the same. She kissed Briana’s cheek.Briana was left stunned, especially when Penelope showed her natural cuteness.She bounced in Flint’s arms, raising her hands to clap."Yay! Kwin ver gud!"

SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 334. No Longer A Secret
Anna/Linda POVWe spent three days secluded in the exclusive villa Flint rented for us. It was nothing short of idyllic. Penelope had a wonderful time. “Dad-dy!” She squealed and jumped on her little feet to evade the coming waves. “Bubbles!” She would cry in gibberish, pointing at the sea foam that crowded her feet and ankles. Then she would run to Flint, and Flint would swoop down to capture her and put her to dry sand. Then, she would stroll toward the waves again, repeating the same actions until Flint rescues her.“You are silent,” Flint said when he deposited Penelope beside me. I was sitting on the sand with my legs stretched out in front of me. He quickly worked on the sand, digging with his hands and throwing them to cover my legs. It attracted Penelope, and she mimicked her father. She took clumps of sand in her hands and threw them to my legs. “You need a spade, my little Queen,” Flint said.He looked around our surroundings before his eyes focused on something no

Flint POVAfter dinner, I was excited to put Penelope to sleep, but to my chagrin, she wouldn’t sleep however hard I coaxed her.She was too busy playing with the rose petals. She kept stepping on them while she walked around our rented villa.“Maybe she loved the downy feel of the rose petals on her soles.” Anna offered a likely explanation for our daughter’s seeming propensity for the flowers.She even pulled her shoes off before she jumped, skipped, and kicked on the petals covering the floor.I dropped my head playfully in response, but inside, I was dying for Penelope to lay her head on the bed so t
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 332. Happy and Content
Flint POVI saw a myriad of emotions playing on Anna’s face and it made me want to crush her to my chest to offer assurance. I am a Ford.I have everything, but when it comes to Anna, I felt lacking as a man. Of course, it was different with our daughter.Would it be selfish of me if I wanted to be the only man for her, not just the father of her daughter? I wanted to be the best man for them both. “One day, I will make you fall in love with me,” I told her and saw her taken aback. I wanted to add that I will erase every feeling she has for my brother.I will be the only man she would need. The wedding ended. “Congratulations.” The priest held out his hand to send us his best wishes. He even patted Penelope’s head, making her giggle. “You have a lovely daughter.” He told us.Anna and I exchanged a look. She smiled, feeling proud of our daughter. I was, too. We did not linger. Our group left the church and ended up in the parking lot, where we went in separate directions.
