The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 39: To Have the Second Chance
Her eyes popped open at the door as she saw the shadow of the man coming in their direction. She squinted at the figure so that she could get a better view of him. Far away, the mysterious man looked familiar, as though she had known him before.‘Nathan? Is that you, Nathan?’ She mentally asked herself. Her heart soared with happiness, thinking that Nathan had come to save her.Nonetheless, to her surprise, the man was not him. The color of his hair, the shape of his face, and the expression in his eyes were all different from Nathan’s physical appearance. He was shorter, slimmer, and more delicate compared to him, yet these were not the reasons for her astonishment.‘Maverick? How did he find me?’ She asked herself while watching him strut toward them with renewed confidence and valiance.She didn’t know how he found her, considering that the last time Daphne had seen her was when he begged to get back together again in the apartment. How come he was here? How did Maverick know she h

"You're a fool, Nathan! If you think you can bring me down, you're a dunce! I made you who you are today, lad, and if it wasn't for me, the company your father built would be as dead as the herring," Casper mocked, lurching at the edge of his seat, struggling to straighten his back on the sofa board.Nathan’s eyes clawed at him like a sharp dagger. His jaw convulsed unfavorably as his fingers dug deeper into his palms. "I don’t owe you anything, bastard! You lied to my father to get what you wanted!" He stepped forward to the old man and smothered him once more, now tightening his grip on the wide girth of his neck. "It was because of you that my brother is dead!"His thick, shrieking voice echoed throughout the room. Casper tried to take off his hand by hitting him with threadbare force. "Let me go, you crazy imbecile, or I’ll call the police to charge you with physical abuse!""How about I’ll sue you for premeditated murder?" Nathan sneered, scrabbling his nails on the nerves poppin

"If meeting her would only steer me to Daphne's whereabouts, then I would do such….."Nathan's luxurious car stormed towards the four-lane highway, and ran two times faster than the standard speed limit, as it raced another vehicle, and overtook cars in front. In the driver's seat, Elliot was sweating in his corporate attire as he managed to turn the car, keeping a tight brake in order not to crash into anyone's car due to the rushed movement Nathan had ordered. He had commanded Elliot to drive the car into the restaurant as fast as he could."They kept disarraying my life like hell! Even Daphne was entailed with this shit!" yelled Nathan in the backseat while his head was as hot as a potato. "Calm down, Mr. Kelly. For sure, Daphne was alright," Elliot asserted, reckoning firmly despite how they were in a pessimistic dilemma. "I know! Just drive there!" shouted Nathan and didn't heed Elliot's words. There was heavy traffic they encountered at a crossing point, yet they couldn't fin

"The Board was now inside the conference room."With every tick of the clock, Nathan understood his fate, and the moment he entered the entrance, he would no longer be a CEO. He knew the company's policy and felt saddened, knowing his position was tilting off in his hands. That damn position he had safeguarded for years wasn't easy and would be a lump in his throat.The car halted in front, as his secretary was in a hurry to open the backseat door; while his sense was wafting around, Daphne's and Maverick’s doing, and the company dilemma made him feel turbulent. He huffed, concentrated on the side, went out of the backseat door, stood at the side of Elliot, then made sure his corporate attire was not in a mess like his life."You were three minutes late, Mr. Kelly. Better we hurry," added Elliot at his side, bothered about the following scenarios they would face."I know," replied Nathan.He bossed into the elevator as employees bowed their heads when they passed, while he and Elliot

"Have you ever thought about your decision?"Daphne positioned the pink luggage on her side while folding the shirts and others to be fetched to Maverick's mansion. She felt delighted, yet she couldn't deny she was frightened to discern Tatiana Powell.Tatiana would invariably prompt Daphne of the trauma she had brought from the past. While on her back, Clara stood there, glaring furiously at Daphne because of her verdict that she couldn't alter."I told you before. You should stay away from that man!" shouted Clara. She stepped closer to the closet, crossed her arms, and leaned there, still eyeing Daphne."Everyone changed. I believed Maverick would not be the same in the past," responded Daphne as she placed one red shirt on the luggage.She still aimed to change Clara's perception of Maverick. Clara didn't wholly comprehend her decision. Thus, she would still respect why she was against it.Later, Daphne closed it as it was already full. She stood, opened the closet in front of her

A cell phone on top of the table vibrated, which cuts the conversation between Clara and Daphne inside the apartment. While Daphne sat on the sofa, Clara went near the table and got her cell phone. Staring at the screen, Clara exhaled and glared back at Daphne."It was my boss. Wait a minute, and I will answer this," said Clara and didn't wait for Daphne's response."Alright," responded Daphne and didn't mind Clara.Clara went near the glass window and glanced into the overlooking skyline of the city while her cell phone was near her left ear. The voice of her boss, Tobias Borden, was heeded on the other line."Hello, Mr. Borden. What's the matter?" asked Clara on the other line and thought there might be a dilemma in the company."Clara, um, I knew it was the weekend. You supposedly rest, or whatever you do; unfortunately, I wanted you to come here to the office for some clarifications and paperwork to be reviewed," explained Tobias."What?" shocked Clara, and she didn't know she wou

"I deserved to be avenged. My actions weren't venial, but I promised to improve and wouldn't reiterate the past."The past events weren't buried below the ground. All the bad vibes were still kept and never shirked. The past had molded Daphne's current life. She couldn't question Tatiana's apology, for it was genuine, came from heart, and not only told for the sake of public image. It might have sounded like someone forced her to do such, but the important thing was that Daphne finally had it, which meant she could have peace. Tatiana was erased from the list as her enemy.Though she had to concede how her heart shattered into pieces and she carried the world on her shoulder, knowing Tatiana made up a story to destroy her stature and end the bond between Maverick and her. And yes, it didn't just make her cry but also feel how her life collapsed.Before Daphne responded, she chewed the pork in her mouth; seeing her plate already had no dish, she reminded Maverick that she was full to h

Looking back at the past gave Nathan a warm smile despite how unfortunate it would be to be hit by a car. Blood went out of his body, and it made him oblivious. Nonetheless, he already knew that he would never be overthrown. If he was in their eyes, then for him, he was not. However, it was somewhat called vengeance for integrity and to stop their disastrous actions.With a sigh, he hung his leg on the side of the bed while Elliot went silent on the chair, slowly mesmerizing the champion's throne."Did somebody know about our plan, or were they blinded and thought we didn't do such?" asked Nathan and glanced at the window."For sure, they didn't. We discreetly moved, and maybe they reckoned we feared combating them," replied Elliot.Nathan nodded. Looking back, it gave him a smirk.'I successfully gave it to her. She would surely bring it into the office and towards their mansion. Since there was a tiny chip inside, it could capture recordings and use everything we got to fight them,'

The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride EPILOGUE: Say Yes, I Do
One month after the traumatic incident, Maverick and Deanna were put on trial for attempted murder, rape, homicide, and other related allegations that were charged to them. Meanwhile, Daphne’s mother, Linda Collins, was also convicted of the crime of conspiring with the suspects and was sentenced by the court to five years of imprisonment. Before going to jail, Linda begged for her daughter’s forgiveness, but she failed to do so when Daphne had already wanted nothing to do with her, cutting her off completely in her life. The feat in their lives continued to flourish after the trial. Nathan was successful in acquiring back the rights in his father’s corporation and kept his executive manager title both overseas and in the main branch. The following month of having full control of the business, he was triumphant in increasing their sales by a whooping margin of twenty percent. Because of that, the board of members was satisfied with his management and wanted the company to venture int
The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 58: To Save The Lady
As the two men take on to exchange blows, neither of them wanted to back out. Maverick threw Nathan a punch on his ribs, while Nathan hit him on his shins. Both of them knew how to play physically along with wit, and despite their airtight attacks, none of them were knocked out in a single smash. Maverick stood up from his fall, wiping the blood on his nose, and said, “Since back then, you’re always a pussy, Nathan.” He smirked, showing his bloody teeth. “At least not like you who is a goddamn fucking maniac.”Nathan rushed toward him, pushing all his strength to Maverick, locking his arms around his waist and slamming his back to the wall. They both fell to the ground, hitting each other with all their willpower as they rolled through the wide pathway of the kitchen while plates, condiments, and other necessities were falling from the cupboard. Meanwhile, as their fight continued in lock horns and a thug of wars, Clara, who was knocked down to the ground, gained consciousness when

Nathan surveyed the entire residence of the beach house. While Clara and Chuck were behind him, he sifted through the location and found out that aside from Maverick, Daphne, and possibly Deanna, no one was there to secure the front lawn.The front door didn’t have any operative on the lookout, even at the side and the back of the abode. He then climbed into a nearby willow and pored over the area. There was a faint shadow in the room to the left on the second floor and an open window by the side of the house. Consequently, on the east, he scaled around to check for the other entrances where he could snitch inside. “He might be there—look at your seven,” Nathan commented to Clara and mounted down to the ground. Clara looked up to where his eyes were pointing. “What if we wait for the police first before we sneak in? Just to make sure that this won’t go wrong.” He rubbed his palms together, wiping the dirt he got from the bark of three. “Nah, we can’t. They may arrive late and we mi

“Is she fucking telling the truth, Maverick? Goddamn it, answer me?!” she shouted, blaring at him with her utter resentment. Maverick’s shoulder jostled in shock that in reflex his mouth parted to say, “Yes. Fuck, that’s right, Daphne! If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t come to me! And if I didn’t accept Casper’s help, that fucking son-of-a-bitch will have what is mine!” He bent forward, grabbing her shoulders rigidly as he continued, “You’re mine, Daphne! And he can’t take you away from me!” Daphne was flabbergasted by his statement. Her body became frozen in the bed as she gazed at him in wonder and shuddering. Meanwhile, Deanna found Maverick’s concession hilarious that her high-pitched voice soared throughout the room like alarming sirens. “This is so good! Oh, God, Daphne, you never fail to amaze me, dear. You’re just too fucking sweet that all I want to do is to tear you into pieces.” She arched her body forward and gave her a condescending smile. “This is also the reason why
The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 55: Under the Radar
The crack of the dawn settled on the horizon as Daphne’s senses rouse from unconsciousness. A drumming throb in her head kindled when she struggled to get up from the wide silk mattress of the bed. She perched her palms on the soft cushion and looked around the room, surmising the familiar interiors of the spacious chateau. Her eyes scooted to the open window by the bedside and were sleeted by the overlooking view of the ocean. The tides were calm; the air was moderately breezy, and the skies flourished with an auburn, unruffled-tone array of billows. Daphne quite remembered this place as though she had been here before with the Brenners when they went for a vacation. Furrowing her eyebrows in bewilderment, she roamed to the right side of the room and was welcomed by Maverick’s collected yet lecherous expression. Daphne juddered up from the bed, realizing that her arms and feet were chained to the four corners of the bed. She pulled the cuffs away and tried to escape from it—from t

The time had idled in Chuck’s room while they were waiting for Nathan’s arrival. Chuck was on his desk, encrusting his chin with his palm elbowed on the desk, while Clara was pacing back and forth in the middle of the room, raking her fingers through her hair as the time ticked another minute. Her eyes shot at the movement of the long hand on Chuck’s white clock and flailed her arms in the air out of frustration. “Oh my God! What’s taking him so long? We’ve called his phone millions of times and yet we still can’t reach him.” She gave the kid an eye and ranted, “I’m getting disappointed with your uncle every minute that has passed by."Chuck’s eyes tilted up to the hood and exhaled. “Why do you have to wait for him, anyway? I told you I could help you. I know how to read maps.” Clara looked at him and was about to say something when Mrs. Willis chimed in, “We don’t have to rush. Rushing won’t do us any good and it might even make the situation worse. She placed the tray on the tabl
The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 53: Betrayal of the Kin
Daphne’s eyes fluttered ajar when she felt herself moving at a constant speed while her body was in inert motion. She was plagued by the plodding movement of the car as she felt the tight manacles on her ankles and wrists. As she felt the crack of dizziness on the back of her head, she blinked her eyes twice until her vision became clearer.Cocking her head to the stained-glass window, she peeked through it, sifting at the blurry sight of the road by her side. She didn’t know where she was, but the passing trees and secluded road gave her a hint that she was somewhere in a provincial location.Drifting her head to the front, her eyes darted at a muscular-looking man in his late twenties. His back was broad under an Oxford shirt, and his arms had a fine sliver of body hair that was noticeable in the bright cast of the afternoon sunlight.Her nose crinkled in contempt as she tried to fix her fetal position in the narrow space of the seat. Daphne wanted to collect her inflating with Lind

A clear blue indigo sky slightly turned yellow-orange on the east side. The sun slowly rose, matched with busy streets, and people rushed to work and other destinations. At the same time, Nathan only relaxed on the balcony and sat on the chair while there was an empty cup of coffee on the table. Seeing an incredible masterpiece and scenery somewhat calmed his morning and made him smile to prepare for a long day and another problem he might encounter."What a beautiful sky. I hoped it was beautiful as my day," muttered Nathan. "But I knew it would not be."In his silence, Nathan heard the car’s horn and a shout of a fellow citizen. Minutes after that, a vibration of his cell phone in his pocket made him blink twice, then look at who was calling him. A police officer he had coordinated was calling him, which gave him an idea it was good or worse, unwelcome news regarding Deanna's whereabouts."Hey, officer, how are you doing?" Nathan's opening spiel."Stressed, but still fine," retorted
The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 51: Trap Meeting
“I recalled that damn woman flying near the gutter as my car ran over her….”A familiar woman Nathan saw in his side mirror would never be forgotten. Yes, he felt worried, even when he recalled it. Until now, he didn’t know that woman’s name if he had met her before or had not. The run-over incident brought him fear.‘Shit.’He had reason to be told and announced if it would be brought as another issue. It was from the past, but enemies were found digging it to destroy his name for personal interest, maybe because they wanted to own a company.Sitting on a smooth swivel chair on the top floor of the Kelly Building branch, he turned it, facing the door as his secretary entered. Elliot had a confused face when he went near Nathan. Elliot turned his gaze around and saw it was just the two inside the office, then looked back at him.“What was it, Mr. Kelly?” asked Elliot. He was worried it would be another problem. “Was it about Deanna?”“Nah,” responded Nathan and exhaled. “It was about
