Jame's POV

Boss, we have a meeting at 4 p.m. today,” Thomas reminded me.

“Cancel it.” I grabbed my car keys and headed toward the door.

“Sir, there are still many unread reports on your desk.” His voice wavered as I glanced at the pile of papers.

“Leave them,” I cut him off impatiently. “Any update on the investigation?”

“No, boss.” Thomas shook his head. I let out a long, heavy sigh.

No. That was all I ever heard. No, no, no.

“Can’t you say something different for once?” I snapped, slamming my hand against the table.

“I’m sorry, sir.”

“Sorry?” I echoed, my frustration boiling over.

“I’m sorry,” he repeated softly, which only made my anger flare.

“Get out.”

I didn’t need to check if he had left, Thomas always knew better than to linger when I was like this.

Dropping my keys, I sank back into my chair with another sigh.

Three years now… sighing was all I seemed to do.

Three years since she walked away from me, leaving me a shell of who I used to be. I didn’t even know how I had turned

  • Divorced Husband, His Regret    Chapter 10

    James POV “Are you sure? Rose was last seen at the airport?” I roared, certain Thomas’s ear was close to bursting from the force of my voice through the call.“Hold her there. I’m on my way.”I didn’t bother clearing the confusion on Mom and Miranda’s faces. I grabbed my keys and sped out of the penthouse, driving like a madman.But when I arrived at the airport, Rose was nowhere to be found.I swear I almost lost my mind. With nothing else to do, I immediately called my assistant over. How could he claim he’d seen her when she wasn’t here?“What exactly did you say on the call? You said you saw her, didn’t you?” I demanded urgently.I’d been with my mother when Thomas called. Only I knew how that moment had scrambled my thoughts, how recklessly I’d driven here, even running traffic lights without a second thought.“Yes, boss,” Thomas replied with a nod.“Then where is she?” I asked, barely containing myself.“We… we don’t know. It seems the men may have mistaken her for someone else

  • Divorced Husband, His Regret    Chapter 9

    Rose's POV “Peter! Princess! Paxton!” I knocked again, louder this time.It took quite a while before the door finally opened, and by then my knuckles were already hurting.I stepped inside gently, but my footsteps slowed as my eyes widened.What on earth?!My gaze sharpened as I looked around. The room was a complete disaster. Pillows were on the floor, the duvet was tossed everywhere, and the kids’ clothes were scattered all over.I slowly lifted my eyes to their nanny, Lucia, who wore a helpless expression.“What is all this? Who made this mess?” I demanded.Before she could respond, I noticed three little heads peeking from the balcony. The kids.“Come here.”I glanced at the mess again, then at the kids with their heads bowed. I sighed, it was obvious they were responsible.I watched them walk over slowly, their steps unsteady.Folding my arms, I waited to hear what they had to say. As they approached, they exchanged nervous glances, silently deciding who would speak first.Thei

  • Divorced Husband, His Regret    Chapter 8

    Rose's POV All the text messages made my eyes wide open, and my little face became a lot paler.The messages were all arrogant and I was so speechless.“What on earth do you think of yourself?” “You had better leave in a day and never come back!”“After getting dumped, you shameless thing still dares to come back to this city?”“Why did you come back? Better don't let James see you. If he does, just go to hell!” I rubbed my eyes, thinking I might be seeing things, but no, it was real. The words were harsh and full of venom, and I stopped reading halfway through.I didn’t bother trying to guess who sent them. I already saw James’s name there, so it had to be someone who used to like him back then. Thinking back, I would’ve been all teary, wondering if I wasn’t good enough. But now, looking at this text, all I feel is coldness. How dare this person even send it? He’s not my concern, and this message isn’t my concern either.I only wondered how they knew I was back in Rochester. Pushi

    Rose's POV Rochester airport ~“Yay, we’re in Rochester already!” Jasmine exclaimed cheerfully as the plane touched down and passengers began to disembark.I drew in a steady breath before taking the kids’ hands and stepping off with them.Looking around, I let the moment sink in. I was really here, back in a place I had once known. But this time, I wasn’t here for the past. I had a purpose.And after that, I’d be gone.Princess, walking happily at my side, looked up at me with a smile. “Mommy, are we going to stay here?”“Yes, but only for a little while,” I replied softly.Turning to Paxton and Peter, I noticed them also scanning the surroundings with wide eyes, their curiosity matching Princess’s excitement.The sight of all three children so eager and fascinated made me feel lighthearted. “Alright, everyone,” I said warmly, “let’s go pick up our luggage at the checkpoint.”They nodded in agreement, their nanny following close behind.As we moved through the crowd, I could feel ey

    ~ROSE~°Five years later°“You did what? You fired three workers?” Chloe's sharp voice rang through the call.I winced and moved the phone away from my ear. I wasn’t ready to go deaf from her shouting.“Your new company just opened yesterday, and this is already happening? What will people think?” Her tone grew sharper.I set the phone down on the table and continued folding the small clothes in my hands.“Those useless workers bullied Princess. I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t checked the CCTV footage.”Normally, nothing like that would’ve happened, but I had left her in their care while I went for a meeting.“Seriously? And here they were, crying about how unfair you were for firing them without reason!” Chloe snapped again.“Just let it go. Princess is fine now.”I put the phone back to my ear while I continued packing everything into the bags. I was preparing to move back to Rochester for the other company's branch launch.With silence on Chloe’s end for a while, I managed to fin
