EX-HUSBAND’S REGRET(The Wife He Discarded) Chapter 144
The drive home was quiet.The silence was suffocating.The city lights streaked past the window in blurred ribbons of gold and white as I stared outside, seeing everything and nothing all at once.Nobody spoke.The silence inside the car felt colder than the night beyond the glass.My fingers rested loosely in my lap, but my mind refused to stay still.It kept dragging me back to the conference room.Back to John.“There is… something else.”The memory replayed with painful clarity.Everyone had looked at him.He’d slid one of the invoices toward Hayes.“The altered supplier records…”He’d tapped the page.“They’re tied to the Seoul branch.”Silence.Ford frowned.“What do you mean?”John enlarged the document.“The supplier IDs… the shipment authorizations… every reference points back to Seoul.”He’d slowly looked around the room.“Those records shouldn’t have left that branch.”The room had grown unnaturally quiet.Then…“The only person with complete oversight of that operation…”“

Forty-three hours remained.That number had become my heartbeat.Every clock I looked at seemed louder than the last.Forty-three hours.That was all we had left before everything I’d spent years building could be brought to its knees.It was almost 7pm and the conference room had become our headquarters.Laptop after laptop covered the long table.Power cables stretched across the floor.Coffee cups sat forgotten beside stacks of reports.Lawyers and board members occupied one side of the room.Cybersecurity specialists sat opposite them, eyes fixed on multiple monitors.Forensic accountants worked through financial records line by line.IT experts compared backup servers against the company’s live databases.Every few minutes someone printed another report.Every few minutes another theory collapsed.Hayes, Ford and Pierce had barely stopped moving since yesterday.Neither had I.The atmosphere felt heavy.One of the cybersecurity analysts finally broke the silence.“We found someth

I couldn’t move.The office no longer felt like mine.People I’d never seen before walked in and out carrying brown evidence boxes as though they owned the place.One server disappeared.Then another.Every drawer they opened felt like another piece of me being stripped away.My fingers were still wrapped tightly around my phone when the elevator doors slid open again.Three familiar figures stepped out.Hayes.Ford.Pierce.The moment Hayes saw me, his expression changed.He crossed the room without hesitation.Without saying a word, he gently took hold of my shoulders and guided me away from the investigators.“Aurelia.”His voice was calm and steady.The exact opposite of the storm inside me.I looked up at him.“I—”My voice broke.He didn’t let me continue.“It’s okay.”No.Nothing about this was okay.Behind him, Ford had already walked toward the officials.Pierce joined him, speaking quietly with our legal team while another lawyer began requesting copies of every document the

I froze.For one suspended second, I couldn’t hear the cameras anymore.The photoshoot continued around me.Models laughed between takes.Photographers called out directions as shutters clicked relentlessly.Everything kept moving.But to me…It all sounded distant.Muted.As though I were underwater.One sentence echoed over and over inside my head.”…the information came from someone inside the company.”My eyes slowly found Mia again.“…Show me.”She didn’t say a word.She simply unlocked her iPad and handed it to me.My fingers felt strangely numb as I took it.The headline filled the screen.EXCLUSIVE: Luxury Brand AURELIA Accused of Selling Counterfeit HandbagsBeneath it…Internal whistleblower exposes alleged years-long fraud inside one of fashion’s fastest-rising luxury houses.A strange feeling settled in the pit of my stomach.Fear?No.Not fear.Disbelief.I began to scroll.The article wasn’t written like gossip.It wasn’t another social media rumor.It read like a carefu

Morning came sooner than I wanted.I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for a few quiet seconds.The memory of Dominic’s email surfaced almost immediately.‘Waiting. Even if it means waiting for the rest of my life.’I let out a slow breath and pushed the thought away before it had the chance to settle.No.Not today.I climbed out of bed, showered, dressed, and by the time I walked downstairs, my mind had already shifted into work mode.There wasn’t room for Dominic.Only three days remained.Two days until the biggest event my company had ever hosted.And if I wanted it to be perfect…Every second mattered.****The photoshoot venue occupied an entire renovated warehouse on the outskirts of Manhattan.From the outside, it looked ordinary.Inside…It looked like controlled chaos.Assistants hurried from one end of the room to the other with garment bags hanging from their arms.Stylists balanced makeup palettes while calling out shade names across the room.Hairdressers moved b

The conversation drifted naturally after that.Fashion Week.Lawyers.Statements.Press.For the first time in weeks…The future sounded exciting again instead of exhausting.Then…A thought suddenly crossed my mind.I looked around the living room.“…Where’s Leo?”Pierce burst into laughter.“Now you remember you have a child?”I shot him a look.“Oh, shut up.”Ford chuckled.“We ran into Lily on our way home. He cried until she agreed to let him follow her.”I let out a relieved breath.“Thank goodness.”I stood, grabbing my handbag from the sofa.“I should take my bath and get some sleep before they return with all his noise and disturbance.”Camille laughed.“He’s not that noisy.”“Yes, he is. He inherited it from Pierce.”“Excuse me?”Pierce placed a hand dramatically against his chest.“I am a peaceful man.”“You’re exhausting.”He gasped. “I feel so insulted.”I started toward the staircase.“Wake me up for dinner.”“No.”Pierce answered immediately.I looked back.“…No?”“You’

A week passed.Then another few days after that.And somehow, every single day only became more exhausting than the last.The Met Gala was only a week away now, and my entire company had practically turned upside down because of it.For months, we had been designing custom pieces for several celebr

The drive to STERLINGS headquarters felt longer than usual.I sat in the backseat quietly, my fingers resting against my knee while London moved past the window in a blur of gray buildings and flashing traffic lights.Mia had insisted on following me at first. But I told her it was a personal meeti

Morning came easier than expected.Perhaps because I forced myself not to think too much before going to sleep.Maybe because exhaustion had finally won.Either way, by the time sunlight slipped through the curtains, my mind felt quieter than it had in the past few days.Routine helped.Routine alw

The car door shut, and the noise disappeared instantly.Silence filled the space.I leaned back against the seat, my fingers resting loosely in my lap, my expression still perfectly in place, as if nothing had happened.Mia kept glancing at me.Once.Twice.Then again.She didn’t say anything at fi
