Jenna POV

I woke up feeling like a bus ran me over.

My body is sore.

Groaning, I opened my eyes, feeling disoriented all of a sudden.

I was expecting to be inside my hotel room, but why am I here?

My eyes started to wander. At the same time, my heart started to race.

I am inside our bedroom in the house Charles and I used to share. The same house I vacated after signing our divorce papers.

Without thinking, I jumped out of bed, grunting in pain because every time I moved, my muscles protested.

I searched frantically for my phone.

“Beth!” I hissed when she answered my call.

“Who brought me to Charles' home?” I asked desperately, seeking immediate answers.

“Oh, I thought he brought you to your hotel. He never said anything when he picked you up from the Rosewood Hotel yesterday.” Beth informed me.

My eyes widened in shock.

I felt sick all of a sudden.

“Who called him? Briana?” I asked in cold dread.

I had this nagging suspicion that Briana called her brother on my account

    Jenna POVCharles looked taken aback. His eyes grew wide as if he did not expect me to say those words, but I didn’t have any control over my mouth anymore as fury gripped me senselessly. The frustration of the past few days took its toll on me. The feeling of betrayal intensified the fury that had overtaken me. Seeing the reaction on his face gave me immense pleasure. In my pain, I wanted to lash out at him to make him feel even an iota of what I was feeling, and judging from the expression on his face, I succeeded. Charles rarely showed emotion. He was always composed and clear-headed, but right now, I saw pain traced on his face when I hurled the words I wanted to tell him to at least relieve myself of the pain.I was drowning with it, and I needed a lifeline. I don’t care about the backlash on Charles. I only wanted a reprieve!“Jenna!” He cried in surprise. Disbelief laced his tone. “What?

    Jenna POVI did not know when I started crying. All I knew was that my cheeks were wet with my tears. I did not even realize it until I saw Charles' expression. He looks at me with so much worry in his eyes. I stepped back when he approached me, but I was no match for his strength when Charles reached out his hand to pull me toward his chest. He let me bury my face in his warm, massive chest while I let the pain out. “I am sorry, I can not give you what you want.” I finally admitted that everything was all my fault. My feeling of inadequacy was the one creating this bedlam for us. Charles cradled my head. He gently brushed my hair, causing me to sigh involuntarily. “Can you trust me a little, Jenna?” I heard Charles ask in between the turmoil swirling in my head. I shook my head. I am not sure what to think anymore. Everything is murky right now. “I am eaten by a feeling of inadequacy, Charles. I was no longer the self-assured Jenna you used to know. My failures as a woman

    Charles POV“F*ck!” I mumbled to myself after Jenna got out of the cab and walked straight to the entrance of that dilapidated hotel. She continued on her way without looking back as if the mere sight of me scalded her eyes. I knew she hated me to the core, but I couldn’t do anything about it for now.I had to endure her hatred to be able to pull things through. I just hoped she trusted me enough, I thought regretfully. I backed out of the driveway and went to my office.On the way, I called Brent for an emergency meeting. He was already at my office when I got in. “How is your investigation going?” I asked after we sat down on my office couch, and my secretary sent us our coffee. I did not even have time to have coffee at the house because Jenna refused to eat with me. Since she left, food had become bland to my taste. “Our team reported that Dr. Gwen operated on Jenna on purpose to take out her ovaries when it should have been her fallopian tubes that needed to be taken out.

    Charles POVJenna looked at me in perplexity. Disbelief was written all over her face. But before I could react, Jenna dropped her suitcase and ran away from me. The suitcase created a loud thud. It also blocked my path. Immediately, I gave chase and jumped to avoid hitting her suitcase.While Jenna ran away, she would turn around her head from time to time to look in my direction to see if I was catching up to her. Then, she reached a corner and turned around, bringing her face-to-face with Brent. Jenna’s eyes grew wide. She turned her head from across the street and saw men watching her move. This time, she realized that she had been cornered. My men, Brent, and I were surrounding her.She wearily slumped on the curb, drained from running. I sat beside her, and my heart twisted in pain when I saw her flinch. It was like she did not like to be close to me like this. Suddenly, I realized that in choosing to protect her from further pain, I invariably drove the knife deep. I

    Charles POVIn deference to Jenna's request, I called Briana to ask her to instruct the judge who handles our case to proceed with the divorce. Briana was surprised, but she respected my decision. A few minutes later, Jenna and I simultaneously received notifications on our respective phones. I looked at my phone to see that it was our divorce certificate. Our request for divorce had been approved. “You are free now, Jenna. Sorry if I have hurt you. Sorry if I made you miserable, but know always that I will love no one else except you.” I did not hear her response because my pain was too much to be able to hear outside of it. I started walking away but stopped when I realized I had to make one last request. “Please, allow me to assign a bodyguard for you.” She looked startled at my request though she did not say a word. “I wanted to ensure your safety." Her brows furrowed, necessitating the need to explain. "You are an ex-wife of a billionaire. People who wanted to hurt me

    Charles POVI went straight to my office. "You should go home and rest," Brent advised when I told him I wanted him to send me straight to the office after we left Jenna on the sidewalk. "No. I want to go to the office." I insisted, refusing his suggestion. I knew Brent meant well, but..."Staying at home will only make me mope. Let me go to the office. Work might be the best antidote to this pain." I informed Brent, who nodded in understanding. When we arrived at the building, I walked briskly to my office alongside Brent. Again, we attracted the attention of my employees. It must be because of the grim mood surrounding Brent and I. It was an effort every time I took a step. "You can go. I will be fine here." I dismissed Brent when we arrived at my office. I wanted to be alone.I immediately sat down behind my desk and got to work. Brent ignored my request. He lingered in my office. Worry covered his face.

    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
