All Chapters of Too Late To Regret Divorcing Me: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

(Laura’s POV).I smiled as I watched my plan went well in just a short time of planning. It was easy when there were many who did not like the presence of Rachel Brown. She was not a pleasant person to be with. It was only a stupid man like Vincent Verdi who was so blind not to see her true colours.I always wondered why a successful and intelligent business man like Vincent Verdi could be so stupid in choosing a woman to fall in love with. Was I not good enough for him back then?Wearing a beautiful blue dress gifted by my date for the wedding, I knew eyes were on me as the rumoured new conquest of Marco Russo. I did not mind such rumours. That was part of the plan.Marco was my close friend. My childhood friend and perhaps my only friend who never judged me. He lived in the large Villa de Russo which he inherited from his late parents. A Villa situated right next to Nonna Norma, my grandmother’s home.Being married to his childhood sweetheart was his dream since he first laid eyes

(Laura’s POV).It was close to ten o’clock at night. I was standing at the bar wearing a sexy black dress that was fitted on the good parts of my body. I little revealing on the chest part. I smiled looking at my reflection in the mirror.Definitely, a better version of me now as compared to when I was in hiding and being married to the man that had broken my heart. I took a deep breath and chanted to myself, “The past should remain in the past”. As what my friend Marco had said, it is time to move on to the new Chapter of our lives.Said the person who could not get over his ex-wife. I smiled to that thought with a glass of the special mix prepared by the handsome bar tender. He was obviously flirting with me.I was having fun with some of my Italian relatives who drove to Tuscany to see me. This was my last night in the little town of mine that had so many memories. Both good and bad.“Another drink for you, pretty woman. It’s on the house” the bar tender spoke to me in a weird acc

(Author’s POV).Calvin did not expect Laura agreed to meet him for lunch, after many times asking her out for a date. It was just a business meet but he was going to impress her that day.“Perhaps she was in love with my charming personality” he said while checking himself out at the full length mirror placed in his office. He wanted to look handsome for her.Changing to a more casual attire, he then put on his leather jacket and started to smile at the reflection of his handsome self at the mirror.Vincent had informed him that Laura like fast superbike and into hard rock music. Calvin was happy to know that. “At least we have something in common. Laura Knight, I’m going to steal your heart to love me”Calvin exited his room and informed his secretary to move all his appointments in the afternoon to the following day. In his mind, he wanted to spend as much time he could with the beautiful President of Knight Corporation.Entering the basement of his office building, Calvin smiled a

(Author’s POV).The gun was pointed closer to Laura’s forehead. She stood still and remained calm.Her mind was recalling the lessons her brothers had taught her to defend herself from physical attacks. She had practised her moves many times and kept training herself to fight at night before she sleeps.It was going to be easy. That was when she was practising.But, in real life combat, it was not as easy as she thought it to be.“What message?” Laura asked to buy some time before she finds the right moment to attack. She needed to observe her attackers’ movement and hit them when they least expect it to be.“Stop investigating” the man said and moved his gun on her head closer to her forehead. The range was something she was prepared for to defend. It was the perfect timing.‘BAM!’The sound of a metal object was heard hitting the back of the man holding the gun. It was supposed to put the attacker down or at least a concussion was expected with the hard blow to the head. But, it ha

(Laura’s POV).Thanks to my efficient security personnel that came in just in time before Vincent punched Calvin’s face. I could not let that happen. Calvin did nothing but to defend my honour.For a moment, it had touched my heart hearing him saying sweet words about me to Vincent. I could then see Vincent’s face turned red like a burnt lobster. Serve you right, Vincent Verdi!After both men left my room, I sat at my chair for a moment and fixed my hair into a neat bun. I needed to look professional for the meeting that Marie had set up with Calvin and our new investors. They wanted assurance that I could deliver my promised project that could make them richer and happier.Money was all they were thinking about.But, I had more in mind.For one, I wanted to make sure the resort was built on a sustainability basis. Environmental friendly. It was all not just for money. I wanted more than that.Having the real Julia Raine as one of my esteemed investors, I knew she would help me fight
