She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She did both, a little. A strange strangled sound that came out of her throat.

"You're sweet," she said, and she reached up and patted his cheek, the same one she had slapped a week ago. "But you're going to grow old if you wait for me. Because I'm going to get married someday. To a handsome man. And I'm going to have beautiful children. And I'm not going to think about you at all. So live your life, Lysander and don't wait for me."

  • After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me   Her Perfect Wedding

    ISABELLE'S POV:​"We should review the main guest list together this afternoon," my mother mentioned one day while we were having tea in the sitting room.​"I thought we had the main list finalized already, Mum," I replied with a small smile.​"We have the initial list, but we should make sure no distant relatives or old family friends were left off," she explained gently.​"Mum, we already have a full house planned."​"It is always good to be thorough, sweetheart," she reassured me with a warm smile. "And we should also finalize the main table arrangements so your father and the family feel completely comfortable."​"We can certainly do that," I agreed.​"Most importantly," she added, her eyes brightening with excitement, "have you found the dress you want to wear yet?"​I paused, realizing I had not even visited a bridal shop yet.​Finding the right dress turned out to be the most personal part of the journey.​I had never been someone who spent hours reading style magazines or imag

  • After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me   The Bride-to-Be

    ​ISABELLE'S POV:​The morning after our engagement gathering, I woke up with a quiet sense of joy and a brilliant ring resting on my left hand.​I lay on the soft mattress for a long time then the reality of what lay ahead settled in my mind.​I was getting married to Damon, which meant we had an actual wedding to organize.​I sat up straight against the pillows, my heart beating a little faster as the realization hit me. A real wedding required so many choices, choosing a nice venue, arranging flowers, sending out invitations, organizing food, coordinating music, and managing a hundred other tiny details I had never given much thought to before.​I had been so focused on our homecoming, the proposal, and the pure joy of being back together with Damon that the actual event planning had completely slipped my mind. We needed a proper plan, and I knew I could not handle it all on my own.​I reached for my phone and decided to ask for help.​I called Elara first.​She answered right away,

  • After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me   The Fortunate One

    ISABELLE'S POV:​I stood near the tall archway window overlooking the terrace, holding a glass of juice and watching the lovely scene unfold before me. Elara stepped over to join me, linking her arm comfortably through mine as we looked out at the guests.​"I am so glad to see you this peaceful," she mentioned softly. "It feels like just yesterday we were young girls playing outside at the family manor."​"It really does feel like a long time ago," I agreed, taking a sip from my glass.​"It does, but look at us now," Elara said with a tender smile. "All settled, all happy, and surrounded by so much care."​I turned to look at my cousin, feeling a deep sense of appreciation for our bond.​"Are you truly content with everything in your life?" I asked her gently. "With Alistair, the children, and your work?"​Her smile broadened, filled with total sincerity.​"I am happier than I have ever been," she shared softly. "Alistair is an amazing partner, our kids bring so much joy into our days

  • After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me   The Engagement Party

    ​ISABELLE'S POV:​The celebration was held at Damon's estate, and the entire venue looked absolutely magnificent.​It was a grand occasion, which was of joyful gathering that people would be speaking about for many weeks to come. The spacious residence was completely transformed for the evening.​And the guests were wonderful. Every important person in our lives had arrived to share in our happiness.​My grandparents were the very first to walk through the doors. August and Isabelle Valancourt looked so dignified and proud, their faces instantly lighting up with pure joy the moment they saw us. My grandmother wrapped her arms around me in a warm, long hug, her eyes glistening with happy tears. My grandfather walked over to Damon, shook his hand firmly, and told him with a wide smile that he was a truly fortunate man.​Celestine and Lysander arrived right after them. My aunt and uncle, the solid leaders who had built the Ashcroft family standing through years of dedication, walked in

  • After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me   The Ring on Her Finger

    ​ISABELLE'S POV:​I could not stop staring down at my left hand.​The ring rested comfortably on my finger, catching the warm overhead light every time I shifted my wrist even a tiny bit. The clear stone sat in a simple, classic setting that looked completely timeless and elegant. It was beautiful, simple, and absolutely perfect in every single way.​I was officially engaged. I was going to marry Damon Varek.​He was the same sweet boy who had made a bold promise to marry me when we were only six years old in the yard. He was the man who had kept my well-being in his heart through every distance, every misunderstanding, and every year we spent apart. He had become my complete home and my whole world.​I could genuinely say I had never felt this level of complete happiness in my entire life.​The very first person I dialed was my mother.​She picked up the line on the second chime, her voice carrying a hint of maternal worry right away. "Isabelle? Is everything alright over there? It i

  • After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me   Please Marry Me

    DAMON'S POV: ​I did not give her an immediate answer. I simply held her hand gently and guided her toward the edge of the terrace where the railing offered a clear view of the city below. We stood together for a few moments in the quiet night, taking in the peaceful scene while the soft golden lights reflected in her eyes. ​"It is so beautiful," she murmured softly. "This is easily one of the most wonderful things I have ever seen." ​"It is not the most beautiful thing in my sight," I replied gently. ​She turned her head to look up at me, her brow furrowing slightly in playful confusion. ​"What do you mean?" ​I looked down at her face, taking in every detail. I looked at her soft hair falling loosely across her shoulders, her warm brown eyes filled with affection, and the sweet smile I had grown to love more than anything else in this world. ​"You are," I told her plainly. "You are the most wonderful sight in my life." ​A soft blush colored her cheeks. Even after all t
