Natalie’s POV

Emma was standing right behind Brandon when he walked in.

I knew why she was here today. She mentioned something about a potential partnership with him, but I hadn’t expected her to show up so early.

She spotted me and winked before strutting over like she hadn’t just been eavesdropping.

“How’d the meeting go?” I asked.

Emma shrugged. “Surprisingly smooth. He’s professional, and I’ll give him that. But guess what? He asked me something about you.”

I raised a brow. “What kind of so

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 267 – No More Lies

    Natalie’s POVA soft chime echoed through the hall, followed by a voice over the speakers.“Ladies and gentlemen, if we could all have your attention—please welcome to the stage the CEO of York International, Mr. Brandon York.”My heart jumped.I looked up just as he stepped into the light.He looked impossibly composed in his tailored suit. The crowd erupted into applause, and he smiled, thanked them, waited for the noise to settle.“My grandfather believed that a company is only as strong as the people who stand behind it,” Brandon began, his voice steady, warm. “And this past year has tested that belief in ways I never expected.”He spoke about York International’s legacy, about the challenges that had nearly broken the company, about betrayal and truth and rebuilding trust. He thanked partners, colleagues, employees—people who had stayed when it would’ve been easier to walk away.Then his gaze lifted.And found me.The room seemed to dissolve around us.He paused—just a fraction t

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 266 – All’s Well, Perhaps

    Natalie’s POVThe Founders Gala of York International glowed like something lifted out of a dream.An old barn had been transformed into candlelit grandeur—crystal chandeliers suspended from wooden beams, fairy lights tracing the high rafters, long tables dressed in white linen and gold accents, soft music drifting through the open sides where the lake shimmered just beyond the grounds.It felt warm. Alive. Beautiful in a way that made everything I’d been through feel surreal.Emma and I stood near the edge of the crowd, both of us in gowns that made us feel a little unreal—her radiant, confident, happy; me… trying to breathe.She leaned closer, eyes sparkling mischievously. “You know Brandon’s going to forget his own name the second he sees you, right?”I let out a weak laugh and shook my head.“Please don’t,” I murmured. “I don’t even know what we are anymore.”My mind flashed back to that night on the roadside—his arms around me, his voice breaking, the way he’d held me like he’d f

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 265 – Nothing Else Mattered

    Brandon’s POVMatthew sat stiffly on the edge of the couch, Jane beside him, her hand wrapped around his arm as if grounding him. Lucas paced back and forth across the living room, his movements restless, while Emma stood near the window, crying silently into his shoulder. No one turned on the TV. No one checked their phones unless it vibrated.It felt like time had stalled. Like the world had narrowed into this one room and one unbearable question.Where is Natalie?My phone buzzed again. I grabbed it too fast, heart leaping—then sank when I saw it was just another update from the police.“She was tailed,” the officer said over speaker. “We followed Vivian Sinclair through Midtown. She entered a crowded bar, exited through a back door, and switched vehicles. We lost visual after that.”“So she just vanished?” I snapped.“Temporarily. But we’re confident she didn’t go far. Whatever she’s planning—it’s close. We’ve got teams sweeping the surrounding areas.”Close.My chest tightened as

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 264 – The Escape

    Natalie’s POVI stood on the chair, balancing on trembling feet as I pressed the edge of the metal spoon into the rusted screw, twisting, prying, forcing it to move millimeter by millimeter.“Come on… come on,” I whispered under my breath, wrists aching, arms burning. “You’ve got to give me something.”The vent cover groaned softly, metal protesting against metal. I froze, holding my breath, heart slamming against my ribs as I listened for footsteps.The spoon slipped again, but this time I felt it.A tiny shift. A faint creak.I froze, staring at the vent like it had just breathed.“…Did you just move?” I whispered.My fingers tightened around the spoon as I carefully tested it, nudging the edge of the metal panel.It wiggled.“Oh my God,” I breathed. “You’re actually coming loose.”The vent cover sagged slightly on one side, the rusted screw no longer fully holding. A thin line of darkness peeked through the gap, no wider than my finger.I swallowed hard, hands shaking.“Easy… easy…

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 263 – The Warning

    Brandon’s POVI hadn’t slept.Not really. Not in any way that counted.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. The way she’d looked at me at the party. The way she’d run out. The way she’d disappeared from the world like she’d been erased.It’s been days already, but still there were no leads. No calls or sightings, either. I exhaled slowly. “Nathan… whatever happened between us before—whatever bullshit we’ve been carrying around—it’s over. It should be.”He raised an eyebrow. “That so?”“There’s no time left for family drama,” I said quietly. “No grudges. No competition. None of it matters if Natalie doesn’t come back.”The smirk faded from his face.He studied me for a long second, then nodded. “Truce,” he said simply. “For real this time.”“For real.”He shifted slightly on the bed. “Have you talked to Rick?”I swallowed. “Yeah. He’s in the next room. Pretty messed up, but alive. That’s the miracle.”Nathan let out a breath of relief. “Good.”“He doesn’t know where they took

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 262 – The Rescue

    Nathan’s POVI had been coming to The Breakwater for four days straight.It wasn’t the kind of place you’d expect anything important to happen in—just a rundown roadside restaurant with flickering neon lights, cracked vinyl booths, and a faded sign that buzzed whenever the wind picked up. The menu was greasy and cheap, the kind that came laminated and smelled faintly of oil and bleach. People came here because they were tired, not because they wanted to be.Which made it perfect.I sat in the same corner booth every day, a paperback novel open in front of me, though I hadn’t really read a single page. I ordered the same meal. Drank the same bad coffee. Looked like just another bored customer killing time.But today was different. My eyes darted around discreetly. The waitress refilling cups—undercover. The dishwasher in the back—undercover.The drunk guy slouched at the bar—undercover.Even the woman with a toddler by the window—plainclothes police.Everyone was in position.And beh
