All Chapters of Revenge is Best served cold! Ex-husband's Regrets : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elena's POVAs I stepped into the ICU, the sterile air thick with the scent of antiseptic, my heart twisted at the sight of Lucas lying still, fragile against the white sheets. His once-vibrant features seemed drained, yet his eyes—pale but intensely focused—found mine the moment I entered.“Elena,” he murmured, his voice raspy but warm. The hint of a smile touched his lips, though it couldn’t mask the pain he was in.“Lucas…” I swallowed hard, fighting the lump forming in my throat. “How are you feeling?”He let out a slow breath. “Better, now that you’re here. Just seeing you…” His words trailed off as his gaze drifted over my face, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. “I’m glad you’re okay.”A wave of frustration and guilt surged through me. “Why, Lucas? Why would you risk your life for me?” I asked, my voice barely more than a whisper. “You didn’t have to do that. You don't have to save me again.”He held my gaze, his eyes hardening. “Save you again? Because…” He hesitat

Jason's POVAs I walked out of the restroom, I noticed a figure in the hallway—a tall, slim person in a black hoodie, her face partially hidden, but her stride gave her away. It was Aurora. Just moments ago, she'd mentioned needing to leave for a business meeting, yet here she was, sneaking around in the hospital, her movements tense, like she was concealing something. I quickly ducked behind a corner as she passed, barely breathing, watching her hurry down the corridor with suspicious urgency. Once she disappeared, I let out the breath I'd been holding, a strange unease building in my gut. What was she doing here? I shook my head, trying to dismiss the thought, but it lingered, persistent.I caught up with Elena, and we headed to Lucas's room, where he was sitting up in bed, slicing through a ripe apple. His casual demeanor faded the second he saw the look on my face. "What’s going on? Did something happen?" he asked, his brows knitting together in concern.Elena and I exchanged a gl

Aurora's POVHis promise hit me like a thunderbolt. *He will marry me.* It felt surreal, like a dream I’d clung to for so many years finally taking shape. My heart swelled, and I couldn’t help the smile that stretched across my face as I squatted down in front of him, clasping his hands as if to keep the moment from slipping away."You… you’ll marry me?" My voice trembled, excitement and uncertainty mingling in every word.Lucas’s gaze softened, yet there was a new hardness there I hadn’t seen before. "Yes, Aurora, I’ll marry you. But only if you’re honest with me. Completely honest." His words were firm, each syllable slicing through the air, and my heart fluttered at the weight behind them.A nervous laugh escaped me as I squeezed his hands, my smile wide. "Of course, Lucas! I want nothing more than to be with you," I whispered, my voice soft, almost pleading. His expression was still, unreadable, and it made me nervous."Are you sure?" he asked, his eyes scanning my face, as if he

Elena's POV I watched as Jason left the hospital room, his expression a mixture of shock and hurt. I turned back to Lucas, my heart racing. The weight of my decision hung heavy in the air, but as I looked into his eyes, I felt a warmth spread through me—a mix of relief and joy. The corners of my mouth turned up into a smile, one that mirrored the happiness I could see reflected in his gaze.“Are you okay?” Lucas asked, his voice low and gentle. I could hear the underlying concern mixed with a hint of vulnerability. I nodded, feeling a wave of guilt wash over me for the pain I had caused Jason, but deep down, I knew I had to follow my heart.“I know that I did so much damage to Jason, but…” I trailed off, the uncertainty swirling in my mind. Could I truly abandon the path I’d just chosen? I looked into Lucas’s eyes, searching for answers.“Elena, you know I wouldn’t be able to walk again, right?” His question cut through my thoughts, grounding me.I flashed him a reassuring smile and

Elena's POVI couldn’t believe it was really happening—I was getting married to Jason Campbell, the man who had shown me that love was still possible, even after everything I had endured. As we walked down the aisle, hand in hand, I felt my heart racing. The grand doors swung open, and I caught my breath, my eyes misting over as the soft murmur of the crowd washed over me. This was real. This was my life now.Jason looked over at me, his eyes gleaming with so much warmth that my heart skipped a beat. I bit my lip, trying to contain the swell of emotions within me.

And now, here I was, stepping into a future I had only dared to dream about.As we approached the altar, I spotted Samantha, my best friend, standing beside me as my bridesmaid. She was practically beaming, holding the delicate trail of my gown, and I could feel her joy radiating as if it were her own wedding day. Behind Jason was Vi
