Sophie’s POV

What if Ares decided to eat breakfast with the family today? What if he sat right across from me, calm and confident in his dark suit, those grey eyes watching me? He would know. He would see everything written on my face — the way I had touched myself thinking about him, the way I had moaned his name like a desperate woman while imagining his mouth between my legs.

I would die of shame right there at the table.

I paced around my bedroom, twisting my fingers together. Every time I

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now   CHAPTER 79

    Sophie's POVThe car filled with heavy silence. Derek’s face had gone red. He opened his mouth, then closed it again. I could see him struggling to find words. After a long moment, he spoke again, his voice lower and tighter.“I’m trying to make things right, Sophie.”I turned my head back toward the window, watching the city streets pass by. My voice was quiet but final.“It’s too late.”Derek didn’t say anything after that. The silence between us felt thick and uncomfortable, but I didn’t try to fill it. I kept my eyes on the window, my phone still warm in my hand. Every few seconds, I could feel Derek glancing at me, but I refused to look at him. My mind kept drifting back to Ares’s text. “Good girl.” Those two words kept replaying in my head, making my body feel hot and restless even while I sat next to my husband.We finally pulled up in front of the restaurant. Before the car had fully stopped, I unbuckled my seatbelt and pushed the door open. I stepped out onto the pavement wit

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now   CHAPTER 78

    Sophie's POVMy heart rate sped up as I read the words. The message was short, but it carried so much weight. I could almost picture him sitting in his office right now, probably leaning back in his chair with that small, knowing smile on his face. The same smile he had given me in the car when he warned me about the consequences of thanking him again. My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment as I tried to decide what to reply. My face still felt warm, and I could feel my pulse beating a little faster in my chest.I glanced quickly at Derek beside me. He was still focused on the road ahead, one hand resting on the steering wheel, but I could feel that he was aware of me using my phone. His presence filled the car like a heavy shadow, and every few seconds I sensed his eyes flicking toward me even though he pretended not to look. I kept my expression calm and neutral, my face turned slightly toward the window so he wouldn’t see the way my cheeks were already starting to warm.I

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now   CHAPTER 77

    Sophie's POV He simply walked around to the driver’s side, opened the door, and got in without saying a single word to me. He didn’t even glance in my direction. He didn’t bother to open my door or wait for me like a gentleman would. I stood beside the passenger side, my hand resting lightly on the door handle, but I didn’t move to get inside. The car remained locked from my side, and I stayed exactly where I was, standing tall with my bag in my other hand.A few long seconds passed. Derek finally glanced over and noticed I was still standing outside. He frowned, opened his door again, and stepped back out of the car. His voice carried a hint of irritation as he asked, “Why aren’t you getting in?”I looked him straight in the eyes. My voice came out calm and clear, without any shaking or hesitation.“A gentleman opens a lady’s door.”Derek froze for a second. He stared at me with genuine shock and disbelief written all over his face. It was as if he couldn’t believe the words that ha

    Sophie's POVHis words were simple, but the way he said them — steady and supportive — made me feel safe and capable at the same time. I nodded slightly, my fingers moving over the keyboard again. My body was still humming with leftover heat from this morning, but sitting beside him in this formal room, feeling his calm presence and quiet encouragement, helped steady me.The meeting carried on around us. People spoke, presentations were made, and decisions were discussed. Through it all, I stayed focused on my notes while staying deeply aware of Ares beside me. The way his voice filled the room with quiet authority. The way he occasionally glanced at me with that small, private smile. The way his thigh remained close to mine under the table, a steady, warm presence that made me feel connected to him even in this professional setting.Derek continued watching us from his seat. I could feel the weight of his stare, but it didn’t bother me the way it once would have. I was too focused on

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now   CHAPTER 75

    Sophie's POVWe reached the boardroom. Ares opened the heavy door and held it for me. The moment we stepped inside, every person at the long, polished table stood up. The room was large and formal, with dark wood paneling and a massive table in the center. Bright sunlight poured in through the tall windows, but the atmosphere felt thick with expectation and quiet tension.Derek was already seated on the left side of the head chair. His eyes locked onto me the second I walked in beside Ares. I could feel the heavy weight of his stare, but I didn’t shrink from it the way I used to. I kept my chin up and walked with steady steps.Ares greeted everyone with warm authority. “Thank you all for coming. Let’s get started.”He walked to the head of the table like he owned every inch of the room — which, in many ways, he did. I walked right beside him, holding my laptop and phone, trying to look professional even though my heart was racing and my body was still humming from his whispered words

  • Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now   CHAPTER 74

    Sophie's POVMy breath came faster. I could already imagine it — him locking that door, pushing me against the desk, his mouth on me while the whole floor worked just outside.Ares reached out and brushed his thumb gently over my bottom lip, the same lip he had kissed so thoroughly in the car.“I’m not going to rush you,” he said softly. “But I want you to know… I’m right here. And I’m not going anywhere. If you need me — for work, or for anything else — all you have to do is walk through that door.”He leaned in and pressed a slow, lingering kiss to my forehead, his hand resting lightly on my waist.“Now go settle in, beautiful,” he murmured. “Your first day is about to start. And I’ll be thinking about that kiss every single time I look at this door between our offices.” He gave me one last heated look, then turned and walked toward the connecting door. Before he opened it, he glanced back over his shoulder.“Try not to miss me too much,” he said with a small, wicked smile. “We hav
