All Chapters of Never: HIS REGRET: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

FOUR YEARS AFTERLiam's POV“Son, come over. We are already seated,” Mum called out as soon as I opened the door.A slight grin formed on my face as I walked over to the dining room where they were seated. I greeted everyone before taking my seat next to Dad.Dad groaned, clearing his throat, and I flinched, already knowing what he wanted to say each time he made that sound.“Liam, when are you going to marry again? It's been four years since you divorced Olivia, and yet you've refused to remarry. Do you know the consequences of your negligence?” he spewed, and I almost repeated his words verbatim. He had said this over a thousand times since Olivia left.“Honey, just let him be. He's just arrived and hasn't even touched his food,” Mum said, feeling concerned.My gaze shifted to Dominic. I knew he was going to say something, and as usual, he didn’t disappoint.“Mum, let Dad speak. I just don’t like how he chooses to be one-sided. Am I not also his son? If Liam has refused to remarry,

Liam's POVI wasn't sure she was the one. We had arrived a few minutes after the opening ceremony, and I was stunned when I saw her from behind.When she turned, something tugged at my heart. Gosh, she looked completely different—almost unrecognizable from the Olivia I knew four years ago. Her skin was lighter, her brows perfectly shaped, and her figure was stunning. But what was she doing at such a grand event? Or did she come with someone?"And who are you?" she asked, jolting me out of my thoughts. Did she not recognize me, or was she just pretending?"It's me, Liam. Are you pretending not to know me?" I asked, a bit perplexed as she looked me over from head to toe. My heart sank. I scanned myself quickly, trying to figure out if something was off about my appearance after a rough day."I don't know you, and please, don't ever stand in my way again," she snapped, turning to leave. I instinctively grabbed her hand, feeling utterly broken by her reaction."I'm so sorry for everything

I was just sitting in the meeting and getting acquainted with the new staff feeling elated to be with them when suddenly I got a call from an unsaved contact. I ignored the call, and moments later, I was done and heading to my car. Today was another day off work for me, but the Joy of acquaintance never dissipated.I knew Jumia should be out of school by now and would be patiently waiting for me. Just as I was about to start the engine, I got the same call again. I ignored it once more, the joy I felt replaced with bitterness. However, this time, the caller called back immediately, and I shrugged before answering. My instincts already told me it was Liam calling. I knew too well that after yesterday's confrontation at the grand opening, he would try to get my number and call. He appeared desperate.“Hello, don’t call me again. I don’t….”“This is the police. Your driver just had an accident. From the report, he was badly injured and has been taken to the hospital,” the voice asserted

Liam's POVI felt like a little child, terrified by a scary movie, when my gaze met hers. I never expected that the Olivia I knew was the same Olivia Peters who had borne him.At first, upon discovering the truth, I thought it was merely a coincidence because she was known as Smith. But today's encounter proved me wrong, it wasn’t just a coincidence; it was reality. She is the same as Jumia's mother, a reality that struck me real hard.It hurt to realize that I had come with a different motive, and now she was calling me a liar. I had arrived despite all doubts, just to see this little kid I was so fond of. I thought that honoring his request to see me would make him happy and also give me the opportunity to meet the lovely woman who had given birth to such a smart, adorable child; only to find out that it was her.I stormed out of the house, devastated that she had sent me away without even waiting to hear my side of the story. Instead, she went as far as denying that I wasn’t the fa

Liam coming out with my son, Jumia, holding what looks like candy in his hands? Liam’s hands are on Jumia’s hair?My rage increased instantly, my eyebrows raising in annoyance at the scene before me. They had practically been together for heaven knows how long. The smile on Jumia’s face said it all, and the visible chuckles on Liam’s face brought so much pain to my heart. Jumia must have been so acquainted with him and free around him to display such visible affection.No! Not a chance.I moved toward them instantly, and those small, elated grey eyes suddenly turned cold upon seeing me. The chuckles vanished, and the joy once displayed froze.“You!” I barked. “What are you doing with my son?” I asked, quickly pulling Jumia over to my side.My gaze darkened as it fixed on him. The sting of the pain that had just lifted resurfaced in my heart, intensifying my anger.“Can you ever forgive me?” he spoke up, his gaze pleading and his voice filled with emotions I had never seen in him befor
