Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 67
Sophie's POV"I absolutely was not—""Sophie.""I wasn't—""You went completely silent the moment I mentioned the shower," he said, still warm with laughter. "And now your voice has gone about half an octave higher than usual."I covered my face with my free hand and felt the heat in my cheeks burning against my palm."I wasn't thinking about anything," I said, and even I could hear how unconvincing it was.He laughed again, softer this time. And then the laughter settled and something else came into his voice instead. Something lower. Something that moved through the phone like a change in temperature."Don't be embarrassed," he said. "I can't stop thinking about you either."I went still.My hand was still over my face. I lowered it slowly."You don't have to say that," I said quietly. "To make me feel better. After tonight."A short silence.I lay in the dark with the phone pressed to my ear, my heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. The headache that had been poundi
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 66
Sophie's POVI left Derek standing in the library doorway and walked back to my room.My head was throbbing. It had started sometime during dinner — that familiar pressure building behind my eyes — and the emotion of the evening had made it worse. I needed to lie down before it developed into something I couldn't manage. I had learned, over months of living with this, to catch it early. Once it got to a certain point there was nothing to do but wait it out in the dark.I closed my bedroom door behind me and sat on the edge of the bed and pressed my fingers to my temples for a moment. Then I kicked off my shoes and lay back on top of the covers and stared at the ceiling.The room was quiet.The house around me had gone to its evening quiet — that particular settling sound of a large building exhaling after a day of too many people in it. I could hear nothing from downstairs. Not Derek. Not Ares. Not Shirley's heels or Lana's television or any of the sounds that usually filled the space
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 65
Ares's POVNot gently. Not in some polite, reasonable way. I wanted her completely. I wanted to be the one she turned to when things got hard. I wanted to be the name in her head when she fell asleep at night. I wanted to take every single thing Derek had failed to give her in two years and give it to her so well she forgot it had ever been missing.I wanted to make her feel wanted. Cherished. Worshipped.Every single day.I lay back on the bed and let the thoughts come.I could still see the way her robe had slipped a little on one shoulder that night. The soft skin of her collarbone. The way her breathing had changed when she realized I was almost naked. She had wanted to look again. I had seen it in her eyes. She had wanted to reach out and touch the water still clinging to my skin.If she had, I wouldn’t have stopped her.I would have let her touch. I would have stepped closer, taken her hand, and placed it on my chest so she could feel how fast my heart was beating for her. Then

Ares's POVI sat at the dining table for a long time after Derek walked out with Sophie. The chair beside me stayed empty. Her plate was still there, the food barely touched. The candles kept burning like nothing had changed, but everything had changed. The air in the room felt heavier now.Shirley sat at the far end with her wine glass, watching me with that careful look she always had when she was trying to figure out what I was thinking. Lana stared at her plate like it was the most interesting thing in the world. Neither of them said a word.Good. I didn’t want to hear their voices right now.I pushed my chair back and stood up. I didn’t say goodnight. I walked out of the dining room, down the long corridor to my wing, and closed the door behind me. The quiet wrapped around me like a blanket. I stood there in the dark and breathed, trying to cool the fire burning in my chest.If I saw Derek’s face again tonight, I was going to lose it. I wanted to put my fist through something — p
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 63
Derek's POVYou're not smart enough.I had said that to a woman who got up every morning before anyone else and kept this house running and had been doing it for two years without complaint. A woman who had stood in my office with her hands shaking and her voice steady and laid out her terms with more composure than most men I did business with.I had looked at that woman across a dinner table and told her she wasn't smart enough.I pushed off the wall and started walking.I needed to find her.I didn't know what I was going to say. I didn't know if sorry was going to be enough or if she was even going to open the door when she heard my voice on the other side of it. I didn't know anything except that I had done something genuinely cruel to a person who had never once been cruel to me, and whatever else I was or wasn't, I was not going to leave it sitting there overnight without at least trying to undo some of the damage.
Ex-Husband's Regret: Your Uncle Wants Me Now CHAPTER 62
Derek's POVThe moment the words left my mouth I wanted them back.You're not smart enough.I heard them land. I watched them land. I saw the exact second they hit Sophie — the small, almost invisible flinch, the way her face went very still and very careful, the particular quality of stillness that I had learned, over two years of living with her, meant she had been hurt and was deciding not to show it. I had seen that look on her face more times than I could count and I had looked away from it every single time.Tonight I couldn't look away.Because I had put it there.The regret was immediate. Deep and sharp and sitting right in the center of my chest before I had even finished the sentence. I hadn't planned to say it. I hadn't sat down at that table intending to be cruel to her. The words had come from somewhere ugly and reactive — from seeing Ares beside her, from the easy way he had turned to her the moment he sat down, from the warmth in his voice when he asked if she had reste
