Natalie’s POV

Emma froze.

I did the only thing I could.

I turned to Emma and muttered under my breath, “If I drop dead right now, just make sure they write ‘died tragically from secondhand embarrassment’ on my tombstone.”

Out of all the people I expected to see at a bar full of lawyers and mutual regret, Brandon York was not one of them.

Of course. Of course he was here. Smirking and drink in hand. Looking like he owned the damn building!

Oh my God. Can someone just open the floor and swallow me whole?

I had no idea how much he’d overheard. But based on the way he raised his glass and said, “Would never deal with someone like me, Ms. N?” I was pretty sure he hadn’t heard the entire conversation.

Most importantly, not the part where I was his actual ex-wife.

God bless selective timing.

I took a deep breath, smoothed my hair, and forced a casual smile like I hadn’t just pinched Emma mid-rant and mentally prepared for spontaneous combustion.

“Brandon,” I said lightly, walking toward him

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 50 – Property Signed

    Brandon’s POVLucas downed the rest of his drink, set the glass down, and let out a loud sigh.“I’m done. I think I’m drunk,” he said, even though his eyes were still sharp. “I’m heading home.”Matthew gave him a lazy salute. “Message me when you get there.”Lucas glanced at me before leaving. I nodded once. He patted my shoulder and walked out.The moment the door closed behind him, I turned to Matthew. “You like her.”His hand paused halfway to his glass. He didn’t even try to pretend he didn’t know who I meant. He looked at me, then back down. “Yeah.”I leaned back, watching him. “You know she works for me.”“I know,” he said. “And I know you care about her too.”I frowned. “People keep saying that.”“They’re not wrong.” His voice was calm, not pushing, just stating it like a fact.I didn’t answer right away. I’d heard this before… Vivian had hinted the same thing. Still, I wasn’t sure if it was true or if people just liked to see things that weren’t there.Matthew kept going. “She

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 49 – He Was Interested

    Brandon’s POVThe clink of glasses cut through the low hum of Matthew’s bar.Lucas raised his beer. “To old friends.”Matthew grinned and tapped his glass against ours. I managed a small smile, even though my mood was already at rock bottom.I wasn’t here for nostalgia. I came because I needed to forget... things had gotten messy lately, and I needed a break.The first round went down quick. We started with random talk, dumb things we did as kids, and the kind of stories that made Matthew laugh until his shoulders shook. I let them chat while I took my time with my drink.Lucas was the first to switch gears. “So… Emma’s still mad at me.”Matthew leaned an elbow on the counter. “Still? What did you do this time?”Lucas shrugged, looking more smug than sorry. “She cut me off for a while, but I think I know why. She used to like this senior guy.”He took a slow sip before going on. “So one time, I made sure to show up right in front of him. You know, just to make a point.”I arched a b

    Natalie’s POVDylan had just finished explaining some client paperwork to me when Emma suddenly slammed her pen down.“You know what? Forget it. I’m done,” she snapped, looking right at Dylan. “We’re not friends anymore.”The air went dead quiet. Dylan froze mid-sentence, and I… well, I blinked at her like my brain needed a full minute to download what had just happened.“What?” Dylan asked, frowning.Emma didn’t answer. She just grabbed her bag, muttered something under her breath, and headed for the door.I stared after her, still trying to catch up. “What was that?” I asked Dylan.He held up his hands. “Don’t look at me. I have no idea.”“Really?”“Really.” He went back to his computer like that was the end of it.Yeah, no. I wasn’t letting her storm out like that without answers.I ran after her, catching up just outside the building. “Emma!”She kept walking, so I had to jog to get in front of her. That’s when I saw the tears streaking down her face.“Hey, hey—stop. What happened

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 47 – So That Was It?

    Natalie’s POVI shot her a look. “Eat your food.”But even as I said it, my mind was already spinning. Why was he here? Was it a coincidence… or did he know I’d ignored his message and decided to make a point?And if it was intentional… what exactly was that point supposed to be?Every time I reached for my glass or picked up my fork, I could feel his eyes on me. It was like trying to eat with a camera pointed at your face.Emma sighed and set down her fork. “Okay, I can’t eat like this. He’s basically breathing in our direction.”“Then stop noticing him,” I muttered.She raised her brows. “Oh, so you’re not noticing him?”I stabbed my lettuce. “I’m eating.”She leaned closer, her voice low. “He’s really looking.”I didn’t glance over. “Right.”She raised a brow. “You sure you don’t want to go say something? Or throw your water in his face? I can hold your bag.”That almost got a smile out of me, but I shook my head. “Not worth the laundry bill.”Emma gave it another few minutes, the

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 46 – Dinner Invitation

    Natalie’s POVArthur’s name popped up on my screen just before lunch, and for a second, I wondered if he’d accidentally called. He didn’t usually reach out unless it was work-related and usually through email.“Got a case,” he said as soon as I answered. No hello, just straight into it.“What kind?” I asked, already opening my laptop.“Financial irregularities. High stakes. Could use your head on this one.”That got my attention. We dove right in, discussing details over video call. He shared his screen balance sheets, cash flow statements, and suspicious transfers highlighted in yellow. I leaned forward, scribbling notes while asking questions.“You’re thinking these numbers were doctored?” I asked after he explained the pattern.He nodded. “Exactly. And the company’s pretending it’s a simple accounting error.”I tilted my head. “Which means it’s not.”He grinned. “Knew you’d get it.”We went on for nearly an hour, piecing together possibilities, tossing back theories. It felt… ni

  • Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 45 – She Was... Right

    Brandon’s POVI’ve been irritable lately. Seeing Nathan and Natalie standing so close had felt like getting punched in the gut. It was the same feeling I’d had years ago when I learned my father had another illegitimate son.Nathan has always been the golden one. Even when we were kids, my father would watch him like he was some long-lost heir who’d finally come to save the family name.At the banquet, it had been the same scene all over again. Father applauding Nathan like his arrival was the best thing that had ever happened to this family. I could still hear the words, as sharp as the crystal glass he’d been holding.“You’re nowhere near as good as Nathan.”It wasn’t new, but it still burned.And now… Natalie.Last night, in that hallway, I’d walked in on her standing far too close to him. They weren’t touching, but they didn’t have to be. The look on her face, like she actually listened to him was enough. It was the same kind of attention I’d been trying to get from her for w
