Chapter 150 A woman resembling his mother

Author: Krystal
Author's POV

Ethan Quinn lifted his gaze from his wineglass, scanning the crowded reception hall with bored detachment—until his eyes landed on her.

And froze.

The woman standing across the room bore a resemblance so eerie it made his breath catch.

It wasn't just the curve of her cheekbones or the familiar slant of her eyes—it was something deeper. A near-perfect echo of his mother's younger self stared back at him, veiled behind soft waves of dark hair and a serene expression that didn't match

  • CEO's Regret After I Divorced   Chapter 360 The Storm Is Already Here

    Claire's POVThis was business. Just business.The mantra repeated in my head like a broken record, but my hands shook so badly I could barely type. Outside my cramped studio apartment, London's weather turned vicious—wind howled through the narrow streets, rain hammered against my single window like bullets.Fitting. The whole world went to hell that night."Files are ready to send," I reported into my phone, hating how my voice wavered. On my laptop screen, Serena's autumn collection stared back at me—months of her brilliant work, her sleepless nights. And I was about to hand it all over to Sophie Anderson like some corporate spy."Wonderful, darling." Sophie's voice purred through the speaker, dripping with satisfaction. "Send everything now. Don't leave out a single sketch."My cursor hovered over the send button. One click. That was all it would take to destroy someone's life."About that position at ARt," I ventured, trying to sound casual instead of desperate. "When exactly migh

  • CEO's Regret After I Divorced   Chapter 359 The Real Serena

    Serena's POVHow the hell did I end up on this stage?The crowd's energy is infectious in the worst possible way—champagne-fueled enthusiasm mixed with that particular brand of London society bloodlust that comes out when they sense drama. I can feel hands literally pushing me forward, voices shouting encouragement that sounds more like demands.Great. Just what I needed tonight.I grip the microphone like a lifeline, my palms already slick with sweat. The spotlight is blinding, but somehow my eyes find him immediately. Ryan. He's standing near the back, that unsettling intensity radiating from him like heat waves. His stare has been burning into me all evening—relentless, uncomfortable, like he's trying to figure out some puzzle I don't even know I'm part of.Why does he keep looking at me like that? It's making my skin crawl.My pulse hammers against my throat, but I force myself to speak. Standard hostess nonsense—thanking everyone for their support, expressing gratitude for the inc

  • CEO's Regret After I Divorced   Chapter 358 Leave Her

    Ryan's POVShe actually stood there and pretended she didn't know me.I watched Serena's face shift back then—first a flicker of panic, then this icy, almost defiant calm. That change had always fascinated me and pissed me off in equal measure."Mr. Blackwood," she snapped, voice way too measured—like she practiced it before a mirror. I knew that tone. She used it for clients she hated. "I thought I made myself perfectly clear during our last encounter."She edged closer to Cedric Lancaster, her every move drawing a line I wasn't supposed to cross. Her chin tipped up. "We agreed to stay out of each other's way. I'd appreciate it if you'd honor that agreement."Honor? She really tossed that word around like it meant something.Too late for that, Serena."Your husband," I said, making the word sound as filthy as it deserved, "has been obsessed with my wife, Serena, for years. Let me guess, he left that part out when he proposed?"Her jaw flexed. Got you, didn't I?"If you care to dig, as

    Serena's POVJust smiling my way through this circus, that was my whole plan. Just keep the mask in place, keep the panic on a short leash.I watched Mr. Alvin come gliding over, wearing that host-smile made for business cards.“Mrs. Lancaster, Mr. Lancaster! Wonderful to see you here tonight.”“Mr. Alvin, truly, you outdid yourself. The atmosphere's... incredible.” The lie felt cold on my tongue. Meanwhile my mind was running a mental obstacle course, mapping exits and counting possible detours if I needed out, fast.He leaned closer, voice full of importance. “You're far too kind. But honestly, tonight belongs to our investors. I cannot thank Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Blackwood enough for their support.”Mr. Blackwood. Just hearing his name was enough to hit me like a punch to the solar plexus. The smile on my lips started feeling fragile, brittle—like if I breathed wrong, it'd crack.God, please—let him be late tonight. Give me five more minutes to build some armor.So when my eyes swep

    A few days later, the highly anticipated fashion week gala finally arrived.Serena had planned to attend with Sally, and after wrapping up work, they headed straight to the luxurious Regent's Cove where the evening's festivities would unfold.Something feels off about this whole thing, Serena thought, her brow furrowing as fragments of conversation from the past week replayed in her mind. She'd been running around like a headless chicken lately, but still—how had she missed such crucial information until now?"Serena, maybe it's just because this fashion week is bringing in serious money. Don't overthink it," Sally offered, her voice gentle but unconvincing.Despite Sally's reassurance, an unsettling knot twisted in Serena's stomach. Call it intuition, but something about the sudden investor buzz felt... deliberate.As their car pulled up to the grand entrance of Regent's Cove, Serena's eyes immediately locked onto a familiar silhouette leaning casually against a marble pillar."Cedric

  • CEO's Regret After I Divorced   Chapter 355 The Winning Side

    Author's POVThe Breaking PointThe design studio reeked of desperation and cold coffee. Vivi surveyed her team—hollow-eyed zombies hunched over laptops, their creativity bleeding out with each rejected draft. Empty energy drink cans formed a small mountain by the printer, a monument to their collective exhaustion."That's it!" Vivi slammed her palm against the table, making everyone jump. "We're done bleeding over this tonight. Pack it up, people. Go home before you start hallucinating unicorns in the color swatches."A collective groan rippled through the room—relief mixed with bone-deep fatigue. They'd finally cracked it. After seventy-two hours of creative warfare, they had something that didn't make their eyes bleed. Victory never tasted so much like stale donuts and regret.God, we actually pulled it off, Vivi thought, rubbing her temples. The prototype wasn't perfect, but it had that spark—that indefinable quality that made people stop scrolling and start staring. She could alre
