Ex Husband’s Regret: He Wants Me Back/Riri

Rachel’s POV I sat at our favorite restaurant, fidgeting with my napkin. Today was special—our third anniversary. I couldn't wait to see Andrew walk through that door. Although I was dying with anxiety deep down, I still managed to put on a smile, ignoring the piety looks I was getting from the waiters. He was going to show up, hopefully. I loved him more with each passing day, but lately, things have changed. His promotion at work had taken over his life. He was always busy, always tired. We barely had time for each other. He gets upset at the slightest things, so I choose most times not to get into an argument with him letting things go even though it was his fault. My heart ached, remembering the way it used to be. We'd laugh together, go on spontaneous dates, and cuddle on the couch. The way he’d tell me how much he loves and adores me. How much I meant to him. Now, I was lucky if I got a quick kiss goodbye. Which I haven't gotten for a month or now. He doesn’

2. Divorced.

Rachel's POV I grasped Andrew's car keys, my fingers trembling as tears streamed down my face. I had to escape. I couldn't bear the sight of them together. The air felt thick, suffocating. I could barely breathe. I stumbled out of the house, keys clutched in my hand. Andrew's car was packed ahead of me; I rushed to it. I settled in, starting the engine with shaking hands. The wheels screeched as I sped away from the nightmare. How could he? How could they? After everything? I thought Victoria had been my best friend and the only one I could call family since I lost mine. Images of Andrew and Victoria haunted me, flashing like a cruel slideshow in my mind. Their passionate moment, the way Amanda held her so delicately, their kiss. Tears blurred my vision, but I didn't care. I drove faster, desperate to outrun the agony. The pain is the betrayal. What is going to happen to us now? Who was I kidding? There wasn’t going to be an us. Not when Andrew had disrespected me this

3. Facing The Past, Again.

Ex Husband’s Regret: He Wants Me Back/Riri

Rachel's POV I walked out of the hospital after being discharged, barely being able to keep my balance. A familiar stood in the parking lot clad in her work uniform, my heart dropping at her presence. My father was already aware of my situation. "It's good to see you again, Boss." She greets me, and I nod, fighting the urge to let out a hiss. "I'm fine, Diana. Just leave me be." Diana worriedly states, "Boss, please, I can't leave you in this condition. Let me take you home.” Diana is my assistant; she handles all of my affairs, both business and personal. Her father worked for my family since I was six; he’d come with her on most occasions, clicking our friendship, so we were best friends. Or sister’s from another mother. Best friend? It tasted bitter on my tongue. Victoria's face haunted me. Why did she do this? Why did she betray me? My anger grew. "No-" Diana caught me off: “With all due respect, Rach! My job is to protect your wellbeing at all co

4. Darius Reid.

Ex Husband’s Regret: He Wants Me Back/Riri

Rachel’s POV I walked out of the kitchen, still dressed in my silk knee-length nightie, carrying a tray laden with pancakes and juice that Mrs. Johnson had prepared for breakfast. The morning sunlight was light and friendly for a fleeting moment, forgetting the tragedy that had happened and the one that is yet to. I barely got some sleep last night; I had cried myself in regret. If only I could go back in time and right my wrongs. My steps came to a halt as I set eyes on him. My father's words from last night echoed in my mind: "Darius Reid will come by with some files." I had completely forgotten. And now, standing in my foyer was the man himself. My footsteps faltered, and the tray wobbled in my hands. I froze, taking in the imposing figure before me. Tall, broad-shouldered, and chiseled, Darius Reid exuded an aura of confidence and power. His piercing steel-grey eyes seemed to bore into my very soul, making me feel small and vulnerable under his gaze. I felt a flu

5. Business Partner.

Ex Husband’s Regret: He Wants Me Back/Riri

Rachel’s POV I stood in front of my closet, scanning the row of clothes. I knew I had to dress decently and not overdress to avoid alertness; maybe a poor-class blend, but all my outfits were very custom-made; it was hard to settle for one. After standing for a minute or two contemplating, I chose a modest skirt and blouse combo, adding a lightweight jacket to complete the look. As I finished styling my hair into a ponytail, I heard footsteps approaching. Diana walked in with a cup of coffee. "Girl, you look... polished," Diana said, eyeing me up and down. "Too polished?" I asked, smoothing my skirt. "A little bit," Diana replied, handing me the coffee. "You're supposed to be poor-class, Rach, not upper crust." I laughed, adjusting my jacket. "I'll tone it down." "Just leave it; you’re running late already, and Darius is downstairs waiting,” she announced. Damn it! The mere mention of his name sent shivers crawling up my skin. Diana's expression turned serious, snapping m
