After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Groundskeeper's Son
MAXWELL'S POV:I was sitting in my top floor office at the Valancourt company building, reviewing a stack of quarterly reports that I had already gone through several times, when my phone screen lit up with Isabelle's name. I picked it up right away. I always answered immediately whenever my daughter reached out. She was my constant source of pride, the biggest reason I worked so hard every day, and the motivation behind every difficult decision I made to keep our family business standing strong and yes, including my sons too."Hello, Dad," she said. Her voice sounded noticeably different over the line. It was light, cheerful, and full of genuine warmth. "I have something important to share with you."I leaned back in my leather desk chair, instantly preparing myself for whatever situation she was facing. Over the years, parenting had taught me to stay ready for any sudden challenge, whether it was an unexpected problem or a tough situation that needed my immediate attention."I
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Line He Drew
DAMON'S POV:They sat side by side with their hands folded, looking completely subdued. They resembled two individuals who had been caught doing something improper and were waiting to hear the outcome of their actions.I looked across at them without any emotional noise or tension in my mind, no lingering anger, no resentment, just total clarity about where we stood."I know the full story of what happened years ago," I said calmly.My mother's face lost its color. "What are you talking about, Damon?""Isabelle heard the conversation you two had before I left all those years ago," I explained. "She heard you discussing her family, her status, and how you planned to use our connection to benefit yourselves."My father opened his mouth to speak, then closed it, looking entirely flustered."That is not—we never intended to—""Do not bother lying about it," I interrupted softly.My tone was measured, flat, and completely firm, the exact voice I used when dealing with serious matt
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Facing His Parents
DAMON'S POV:The chime at the front entryway sounded precisely at eleven o'clock in the morning.I was sitting on the comfortable sofa in the main sitting room, my leg resting on a soft pillow while an unopened book lay across my lap. Isabelle was over in the kitchen area preparing hot tea, humming a quiet melody to herself. The entire residence felt calm and peaceful, offering the quietness atmosphere that naturally settles over a home after a major ordeal has passed.The sudden chime broke the peaceful moment instantly.I heard the soft sound of Isabelle's shoes as she walked across the foyer toward the entrance. I heard a brief, quiet murmur of voices near the doorway, and then she called out to me from the hall."Damon," she said, her voice sounding calm but careful. "Your parents have arrived."I closed the hardback book, set it down on the side table beside my seat, and took a slow, steady breath.My parents, Martha and Victor Varek. The two people who had raised me in t
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Heart He Trusted
DAMON'S POV:She was resting on her side, facing toward me with her soft hair spread out across the pillowcase and one hand resting lightly on the mattress between us. Her expression looked completely peaceful, her breathing slow and regular in her sleep.I stayed still and watched her for a long while, feeling a deep swell of appreciation and warmth in my chest.I moved my hand carefully across the sheet and touched her fingers.Her eyes opened gently at the contact. She looked up at me, her gaze slightly sleepy but full of quiet affection."Hey," she whispered softly."Hey," I replied in a quiet tone."You should be resting.""I could say the same about you."A small, sweet smile appeared on her lips."I could not fall asleep over in the chair," she murmured, moving just a fraction closer. "I wanted to be close to you."I looked at the woman who had stood by me through the most difficult moments, who had cared for me without hesitation, and who had given me a real reason
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Healing in Her Arms
DAMON'S POV:Isabelle sighed softly, walking over to sit beside me on the bed. "What am I going to say when I go visit them? How do I explain everything that happened over these past few weeks without causing a massive panic?"I reached out and placed my hand over hers, offering a steady, comforting squeeze."You share the truth with her when the time feels right," I said softly. "When you feel ready and comfortable. You do not have to carry any guilt, because every decision you made was out of care and protection for the people you love."She looked down at our joined hands, taking a quiet breath, before leaning forward to press a soft kiss against my cheek.She took it upon herself to prepare dinner for us every single evening.I had honestly assumed she relied mostly on quick meals and takeout coffee like a lot of busy writers tend to do. However, she proved me completely wrong with her effort and care in the kitchen.On the first evening, she cooked a simple dish of pasta t
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Her Mother's Call
DAMON'S POV:The days that followed were some of the most unusual moments of my entire life.I had spent years serving in difficult environments, living under tough conditions, and surviving situations that would have overwhelmed most people. I was used to handling my own minor injuries, taking care of myself in rough spots, and pushing through physical discomfort without a single complaint.None of those past experiences prepared me for what it felt like to be looked after by someone who genuinely cared.Isabelle refused to let me move a muscle if she could help it. She stayed nearby whenever I tried to get out of bed, ensuring I walked at a slow pace. She did not let me navigate the wide staircase on my own, insisted on carrying everything for me, and stepped in the moment I tried to do anything that might stretch my healing wound or slow down my progress."You are going to spoil me completely," I teased one morning as she walked into the bedroom carrying a wooden breakfast tr
