Semua Bab Her Ex-husband's Regret: Bab 171 - Bab 180

CHAPTER 171Serene When George called to inform me about Sofia, I was still eating dinner together with Miguel and Charlotte. Sofia appeared to have forgotten that I was the reason she eventually gained some attention and a few gigs that aided her financially, so I simply had to go get her. Not to mention the money I paid her when she lied to me about being pregnant with Diego. Instead of attempting to outbid me for Diego, she should just be appreciative and back off. When I arrived at the casino, the bartender informed me that Sofia and Diego were in some room. I was first full of hostility, but as we approached the door, I heard Diego pleading with her to stop, but she persisted, so I entered.Diego was overcome with terror, but it did not matter since I had to deliver Sofia a nuclear slap, and I succeeded. The fact that she wanted to smack me back was unbelievable to me. I mean, who does that? She would require critical treatment if one of my guards touched her, judging by the way

CHAPTER 173Nelly I was still enjoying some snacks in the living room when Sandra came to join me. I could tell she wanted to start a gossip, but I was not interested because I could not understand why she detested Sofia so much. Serene dared to slap Sofia, and she did it twice. I can only imagine what she is going through though she deserved it. "I had no idea you also watched the series," Sofia began.“I do, it's just that I've been focused on some stuff that I didn't get to," I reacted."I see, have you checked on Sofia? I heard Serene gave her two slaps, which I believe she deserved," Sandra commented."Yes, I did, but I have not heard the whole tale; I am not sure why she keeps tormenting Diego.”"As if you did not do the same when you were into him," she said, reminding me of how protective I was back when Diego was still in my grasp."That was when I truly needed him for survival, but now that Sofia has seized that space, do yourself a favor and keep your calm before we all ge

CHAPTER 175Serene When we got home, I could not bring myself to look at Diego; after everything we had been through, he had to go get them out without thinking about our safety; what if they planned another attack or did something worse? I was about to give him a lecture, but my frustration drove me to lock myself in Miguel's room. "Serene," I heard Diego call as he knocked. "I know you are in there; please hear me out," he begged, but I simply sobbed in silence.“Serene, please open the door. I can explain," he added, but I just couldn't.Why on earth would I want to open it? Knowing how much backstabbing and pain I have gone through, freeing a woman who nearly killed my stillborn Miguel and a man who asked a doctor to leave a blade in my father's body is something Diego, of all people, should not have done. He even gave them shares, why? I rose from the bed and wiped my tears before opening the door."I am sorry, please," he murmured, his tone low and remorseful, but I just did no

CHAPTER 177Serene "Do not take it," I murmured, putting aside the phone after I turned it off."I can not believe he tricked me into believing he loved me when all he wanted was for me to reveal all I knew about you," Rina sobbed."It's OK I am pleased you made the proper decision to return before he did something worse," I responded."May I come in?” the maid knocked with a tray."Yes, please bring that; I am sure Rina is hungry," I responded, accepting the tray from her as she passed it to me.Rina smiled at me and remarked, "You are the finest version of a sister.""Keep quiet, silly girl, and take your food OK," I murmured, attempting to feed her, but she snatched the spoon and ate on her own."Come on madam, I will manage, and I appreciate everything you have done for me this far," she added."OK, it is becoming late; I will just close the windows and go ask the guards to keep vigilant since your fiancé may do anything odd," I remarked, walking out after closing the windows.I

CHAPTER 179Serene ***Two weeks later****"Good morning, Ms. Bright. I hope you are doing well today's Mr. Myers hearing. Are you sure you want to go?" Rina said with worry."Yes, I am OK, there is nothing to worry about; I am just getting everything ready," I answered, getting out of bed to take a shower.I need to ensure that justice is done for my sister's death and prepare to welcome Miguel from the Bahamas. I had not spoken anything to Charlotte since I did not want to concern her. I walked out of the shower and applied lotion before getting my cosmetics kite, but my mood only turned bland. "I know this is your favorite, so I grabbed it," Diego's words reverberated in the back of my head.What is going on with me? I am not supposed to be thinking about him; he does not deserve my pity or anything. My phone started ringing again, and I knew who it was: George, pleading with me to forgive Diego for the sake of the children, but I could not because they did not deserve a father wh
