DIANA

“Excuse me?” I stared at him, wide eyed.

“Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about.” Kevin scoffed as he moved closer to me.

“What nonsense are you saying??” I took a step back, but something in me knew what he was about to say.

“Everyone knows you’re fucking him, so don’t even try to deny it.” He shook his head, disgust clear on his face. I felt a sinking in my stomach, my moth dry as I quickly glanced round.

Everyone was staring.

“Kevin, it is way too early for all this, and honestly speaking, I am not in the mood.” I tried shoving him off, wanting to get out of this place, but he didn’t even budge, blocking my way.

“All the staff know he was the one who took you to the hospital.” Kevin crossed his arms as he raised a brow.

“And when did helping someone become a sign that you’re fucking?” I was one more word away from a scream, letting out a breath in exasperation as I stared at him.

“Mr Leota would never go out of his way to help a common staff, unless there’s s

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 24.

    DIANA “Hello?” My voice was sharper than I expected it to be, considering I had just bawled my eyes out.“Someone’s in a bad mood.” His voice teased on the other end.“It’s nothing.” I pursed my lips, staring to the side, my words betraying everything I felt inside. “Has anyone told you how terrible of a liar you are?” “Not really, I’d assume they keep that observation to themselves.” I rolled my eyes, a hint of sarcasm lacing my voice. “Then I’m sure no one has told you how beautiful you look in your sleep.” I paused at his words, annoyed at how my heart skipped a beat.He’d been watching..?“No, you’d be the first. And you’d also be the first to embarrass me by cleaning my kitchen and stocking my fridge.” I said, an odd smile growing on my lips as I remembered what he’d done this morning.“You know, most people just say thank you.” He only chuckled, seemingly unaffected by my attitude.“Thank you.” I sighed quietly, “You didn't have to, you know.” I added, leaning against the wa

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 25.

    DIANA I stared at the black box tied with a red bow at my doorstep. There was a card beneath the bow, and it reminded me of the same one that came with the flowers. Did he send this? I picked up the box and stepped into the apartment, plopping myself in the sofa. What could be in it?I picked the card and opened it, and my heart skipped a bit as I read it. “I want to see it on you tonight. I’ll pick you up by 9pm.” I opened the box and it was a dress, a long black dress with a jewel neckline and long sleeved - it was so beautiful. Not a moment after, my phone rang. “Are you home?” His smooth voice rang through the phone, causing an involuntary tingle in my belly.“Yes, I got back not too long ago.” I replied, “Do you like it?” “It’s beautiful,” I admitted, a smile creeping up my face as I looked at the dress, “you didn't have to.” “I saw it and thought it would look better on you than the mannequin.” He said, his tone laced with amusement.“I’m not so sure about that.” I m

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 26.

    DIANA “Diana! Diana, wait!“ I didn’t look back, blinking away hot tears angrily as I pushed the door open. I increased my pace as I heard heavy footsteps behind me, my heels clicking on the paved road as I walked. But I wasn’t fast enough. “Diana!!” He grabbed my hand, pulling me toward him in one fellow swoop . “Let go of me!” I gritted out, trying and failing to pull my hand free. “What is wrong with you?” He let go of me with calmly, but the look in his eyes told me he was fat from calm. “What’s wrong with me?” I nearly gasped, my voice coming out like a strained whisper, “Do you know the condescension I had to face today??” I let out a breath, squinting as I stared hard at him, I didn’t even care we were standing on the sidewalk. I didn’t care if I made a scene, I was just done. “All because I was seen with you!” His jaw clenched at my words, something flashing in his eyes as he moved closer. “I understand you’re upset - “ “Do you really?” I cut him off. “Huh??

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 27.

    DIANA I could barely sleep. My blurred vision was fixated on the ceiling all night long, teardrops planting themselves on my pillow. When I tried to close my eyes, hoping to be enveloped by the numbness of the darkness, I’d see him, and the look in his eyes made my heart ache terribly. But it was for the best. The pain I felt now was trivial compared to the agony my soul felt when Kevin left me. I couldn’t put myself through that again. I wouldn’t survive it. I glanced at my phone for what seemed to be the hundredth time tonight… but there was nothing. A part of me broke even more. What was I expecting??That he’d text me? Call? Show up at my apartment? I stood up from the bed and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, the pills in my hand. When Kevin left, sleep walked out of the door with him. So the only way I could sleep peacefully was with the help of sleeping pills. I hadn’t needed them in so long… until now. After I took the pills, I went back to my room, and

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 28.

    DIANA I arrived at work a lot earlier than usual. We were having the final meeting for the event. Gosh, it was just two days away. I watered my lips as I looked over the files, cross checking the itinerary, calling the warehouse for the decor. This had to be perfect. It meant a lot to me.The day passed like a heavy blur, documents and calls taking up most of my time. I hadn’t taken a single break, hadn’t even had a snack. I was literally soaking myself in my work.I’d do anything to take my mind off him.I’ve completely abstained from his floor, avoiding the elevator like a plague. I didn’t want to stumble upon him, didn’t want to see him. I couldn’t take it.“Miss Diana, I think that’s all there is to the finances.” Anne turned to me with a smile. She was a real gem, handling all the finances for this event. “Dare I say, we’re done?” She raised a brow as she stacked her files. I stared round the room, holding my breath as the other staff watched me. This was it. I thought to my

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 29.

    DIANAThe blonde lady barged in, her eyes in a squint as she stared at us. The secretary rushed in immediately after, an apologetic look on her face as she tried explaining.“Sir, I told her you were in a meeting but she didn’t listen” She stressed, pushing a loosened strand of her bun to the side.I stepped away from him immediately like he’d burnt me, he didn’t even look fazed by my actions, or that we were nearly caught in a compromising position.“It’s fine.” He waved the secretary off. “You can leave.” The secretary stared at the woman with furrowed brows for a moment before walking out of the office, and shutting the door behind her.I stared at the woman, her golden hair and porcelain skin was hard to forget.How could I forget a woman that perfect.She was the one I’d seen with Jerome the day I had left the hospital. Her eyes narrowed as she gave me a once over, before returning her gaze to Jerome.“Jay, you haven’t picked my call in days!" She nearly whined, walking closer

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 30.

    DIANA The blood surged violently through my veins as I watched them, my fists clenched tightly. The way he held her, like she was oxygen to a dying man, like her lips held the antidote to his poison… like she was everything to him at that moment. Like he loved her. In ways he could never love me. I dug my nails into my palms, as I took a deep breath, trying to kill the urge to fling a knife at his head and watch him bleed out. Then Anne opened her eyes, catching me staring, her eyes widened as she detached herself from Kevin, adjusting her button up as she cleared her throat.“Uhm, Diana, y-you’re here.” She stumbled over her words, smiling awkwardly as she stared at me. Wow.“I just met with Mr. Leota-” I kept my voice calm, bellying the anger brimming under my skin. “-and he-” My words were cut off in my throat as Kevin suddenly grabbed Anne by the ass, pulling her to him with a wicked grin.Anne gasped, “Babe, behave.”Babe?!I held back a scoff, my brows raised.Babe?!“Why?”

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 75.

    DIANA It felt like forever since I felt his soft lips on mine, it was only then I realized I had been starved. His hands tightened their hold on my waist, pulling me closer to his chest as he dived deeper into my lips, his tongue breaking through and claiming me. I threw my arms around his neck, locking him on my lips. But I was not strong enough. He departed from my lips, his eyes fixated on my lips, dowsed in desire. His finger came up to my lips, grazing them lightly, “You really have no idea how beautiful you are.” He breathed out, as he gazed into my eyes. His finger left my lips, moving slowly down my neck, to the buttons on my shirt, and then paused on the last button. It was right above the band of my trousers. What was this man planning to do? I swallowed as he ventured further, his finger dipping passed the band, rubbing the lace over my crotch - just inches away from my core. It became hard to breathe, my heart pounded against my ribs as he looked at me, “I’ll sto

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 74.

    DIANA In less than an hour, I would see him again. I didn’t if the knot in my belly was that of excitement, nerves or fear. What would I even say to him? What would he say to me? Was there even anything to say? Any explanation to give? Nothing any of us would say would change my reality. This was how my body would look forever… irreversibly flawed. “Ma’am, we’re here.” William’s voice brought me out of my thoughts, and I stared at the skyscraper before me with near dread.“Thank you.” I said, giving him a small smile before exiting the car.I had actually insisted on using a cab, but if it wasn’t obvious, Williams wasn’t the type to take no for an answer… especially if he’s been given an order.Yes, I would talk to him about that. I no longer require Williams’ services. I don’t feel comfortable with it anymore… not that I ever did, but now it’s different.Things just aren’t the same anymore.I walked into the building with only one thing in mind - go for the meeting, tell him t

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 73.

    DIANA Sleep has been difficult this past week…She has refused to bestow her presence upon me, drifting far beyond my reach.Maybe it’s because I have been chugging down coffee now more than usual. I’d like to believe that was the reason, and not because the darkness has now become an unsolicited invitation for my demons to come out of their hiding place, and feast.I took another sip of the coffee in my hands as I read the email again on my laptop.There was a meeting happening tomorrow, and every one on the committee must be present. I couldn’t avoid him any longer.I had spent the last week confined to the walls of my apartment, desperately dodging any reason to go the office… stalling the inevitable. I leaned back on the couch as I sighed, shutting the laptop on my lap. I would have to see him eventually, there was no escaping it. That, and I had a job to do.I wouldn’t let my brand suffer because of a personal matter. I’ll just go for the meeting and leave immediately. I won

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 72.

    DIANA My eyes widened as I stared at the men as they walked into the alley. I walked backwards till I felt back against the wall, my heart palpitating wildly in my chest.“Why were you running pretty girl?” The first man leaned in, the stench of alcohol and cigarettes hitting my nostrils as he spoke.No no no no no-“She wanted us to go somewhere private, guess she wants to give us a show.” The other guy said, a disgusting smirk on his face as he slurred, more under the influence than the one holding me down.“P-please, let m-me go.” I pleaded, my voice coming out as a stutter. They both laughed, “You brought us here and now you want to leave?” The second one slurred, yellow teeth glinting under the moonlight.“I’ll g-give you anything y-you want!” I sputtered, my hands shaking as I gripped my purse. “Just name your p-price.” “You hear that Jim?” The first man turned to his friend. “She said anything I want,” then he turned to me, his eyes darkening as he grabbed my neck, callo

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 71 .

    DIANA My vision blurred with tears as I rushed to the elevator, ignoring his voice. “Diana…Diana!” I could hear him calling after me, but I couldn’t look back. I couldn’t face him. How did he view me all this time?? An unfortunate case to be pitied? Enough to have around but never lust after? What went through his mind when he touched me? When he kissed me? Is that why he always stopped? Because he knew what I looked like underneath. I should have known. As I entered the elevator, I rapidly pressed the button to take me to the ground floor. As the doors closed, I looked at the mirror and I could see it all. Even though I was covered head to toe, somehow, all I saw were the scars… finally exposed.I wiped my tears angrily as I rushed through the lobby. As I broke through the doors, the chill in the wind hit me almost immediately. It was unusually cold tonight… or maybe it was just me, the sudden realization that he knew what I was. He’d always known. I decided to run, at

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 70.

    DIANA It was Mr. Leota at the door. He didn’t have the usual smirk on his face, he looked serious… too serious.“You’re here…” I mumbled. He didn’t say anything, just walking past me into my apartment.My heart pounded as I stood by the doorway, turning to him slowly as I shut the door.Did he already know?He wasn’t even looking my way, his back was turned to me instead, and my mind raced as I imagined what he’d do next.Would he yell? Cuss me out? Fire me? The suspense was killing me as I stood there.Finally, he turned to face me, walking towards me and closing the gap between us as my breath hitched.“I wasn’t expecting you to come here..” I watered my lips, staring at him with drawn brows.“Why?” He only raised a brow.“You were with your friend, so…” I looked away, hiding the anxiety I felt.“Hm.” He hummed, his eyes regarding me for a moment.“You guys seem really close...” I swallowed, my gaze flashing to his for a moment to catch his reaction.“We are.” The smile that rose

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 69.

    DIANAI tried so hard to conceal the shock on my face, as I stared at the man before me. He was almost the same height as Mr Leota, tall with a lean figure, his perfectly cut beard framing dark eyes that eyed me in judgement.I hoped deep down as I stared at the man that Mr. Leota was mistaken. What kind of Ill luck did I have??“Nice to meet you.” I managed to say said with a shaky smile, but he didn’t smile back, he only nodded and turned to Mr. Leota, completely ignoring me.“Shall we go?” He raised a brow. “-we’ll miss the reservation if we spend more time here.”“Relax, old man, we’ll make it in time.”Mr Leota waved him off with a scoff.Old man? I stared at the man with slightly raised brows.How old was this guy exactly?“You say that everytime and we miss it everytime.” Ryan rolled his eyes.“Have a little faith in me.” Mr Leota smirked.“And where exactly has that gotten me?” He raised a brow at him.“Desperately in love with me.” My eyes widened as Mr Leota nudged him sligh

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 68.

    DIANA I had this pressing urge to slap whoever just knocked on the door, but to also thank them - who knows what would have happened if we had gone on with it… I tried to distance myself from him, but his grip was rock solid.“Mr. Leota, there’s someone at the door.” I tried prying his hands away, but he didn’t even budge.“And?” He raised a brow, shifting closer:“They’re probably here to see you.” I furrowed my brows in amusement at his nonchalance.“Then they can wait.” Then he leaned in, placing kisses on my neck, each one a spark flying through my body.“They could w-walk in at a-any moment.” I managed to breath out, desperately holding on to the last thread of restraint in my head. “I don’t mind that.” His hands around my waist fastened their grip, with no plans to release me.“Well, I do.” I strained to say, my voice coming out weak and airy. He wasn’t listening to me. His tongue danced on my neck like a paintbrush on a canvas, I couldn’t tell what he was painting, but all

  • Ex-fiance's regret   chapter 67

    DIANA Why must the universe always be against me???“Whatever nonsense you have to spew from that smelly mouth of yours can wait, I have a meeting to be at.” I scoffed, rolling my eyes at his scowling face.“So you think you can talk to me anyhow you see fit??” He took a step closer as his scowl deepened, his grip firm on my arm. “I would have said worse if I had more time.” I sneered. I tried to release myself from his grip, but it was futile. “Let go of me!” I frowned at him as I let out a breath.“What did you do to get into his bed??” He practically spat out, his eyes wide in rage.“I’m not having this conversation with you.” I pressed my lips together, turning to the side in irritation.“Answer me!!” He yelled, his tone dark as he pulled me closer.“I owe you no explanation! You hear me??” I pulled back, my anger rising as I stared at him. “None.”“So the rumors were true after all?” He smirked bitterly suddenly, “-you did find at fuck your way into the company.”“Kevin!” I ex
