Ex-fiance's regret chapter 33.
DIANA It felt like the whole world was crashing down on me and I was buried beneath the rubble. “Oh, my god…” I gasped, my eyes watering as I stared at the figurines. Every single one of them, perfectly designed to highlight this event, days spent working to build this piece - shattered to pieces. I turned to the woman next to me, eyes wide from shock, “How did this happen??” I asked, my voice laced with panic. “I don’t know maam...” The staff shook her head frantically, the alarm clearly worn on her face. “What do you mean you don’t know???” I burst out, unable to contain my frustration, “When the trucks were loaded I checked every single one, and they were all in perfect shape!”“I-I called you the moment I saw it maam” She stammered, her hands clenched to the side.“Who the hell is in charge of offloading the trucks!!?” I yelled, turning to the other workers, as my blood boiled in rage.“I’m the one, maam” One of the staff rushed out, his face paling as he caught sight of th

JEROME Tonight was different. The same it had been for the past six years. You would think time would have been a bit merciful, and relieve me of this burden I’ve involuntarily carried in my chest. But it only seemed to get heavier, my soul caving into the weight of the grief. I reached for the framed photograph on the table, my finger grazing the face lightly, as I stared at their faces. Their eyes held a warm light that had been missing from mine since that dreadful night. I would give anything to see it again, to enveloped by that warmth again.But deep down, there’s a part of me that has become perfectly accustomed to this glacier that has settled in my soul. Could I ever feel anything other than that? Cold? The ring of my phone dragged me back to the present, interrupting my thoughts.I dropped the frame, my eyes lingering on their faces for a moment, scenes of the past flashing through my mind.With a heavy heart, I tore my eyes away and picked the call. “If it isn’t

JEROMEAn ambush awaited me as I reached the hotel. My brows furrowed as the incessant flickers of flashing lights attacked relentlessly. I’ve grown used to this assault, it’s the same every single year, and unfortunately, not in any way less irritable. “Boss, are you ready?” My bodyguard said, from the front seat, his eyes on the rear view mirror. I gave him a nod of approval, and he stepped out of the car and opened the door for me.I immediately squint my eyes, filled with annoyance. I’ve never enjoyed interactions with the press, and I avoid them when I can… like now. I straightened my suit and strode into the hotel, paying deaf ears to the calls of the pests clinging on to their cameras. As I walked into the hall, a small smile grew on my face as I was greeted with nothing short of an air of elegance. The entire hall was bathed in soft golden lights from the crystal chandeliers above, wisps of rainbow light bouncing off the glass as it refracted. The drapes wrapped round t

DIANA My heart thumped in my chest as I got out of the truck. This is it.The paparazzi flashing light was enough to blind me, I watered my lips as I walked into the building from the side, away from the lights and cameras.My heart pounded harder in my chest as I made it to the hall, staring into the large venue with bathed breaths.This is it.I swallowed as I walked in. He was probably here already. Would he like it? Was he impressed? Disappointed? I wrapped my arms round my figure as I blended with the crowd, yet I couldn’t help feeling like an outsider. The guests were all gathered together, chatting quietly amongst themselves, the whole room buzzed with the intensity of the event.It has to be perfect.It needs to be.I couldn’t help my gaze drifting to the drapes next to the centre stage. Inconspicuously concealing the piece from the audience’s gaze.It was going to be revealed soon.God, it has to be perfect.“Excuse me-” my thoughts were Interupted when a man walked up to

DIANA I stared at him, my mouth parted slightly as he fumed. The last time I saw him angry was when I was speaking to David. Even then, he wasn’t this furious. His eyes took a darker shade of bluish grey, laced with anger as he stared at me, his fists clenched at his side. Don’t tell me…“What are you talking about?” I asked, as my brows furrowed. He sighed, his eyes closing for a moment before opening once more, like he was trying to calm himself.It wasn’t really working.“What were you doing with him?” He questioned, his grey eyes narrowed at me. So he was angry because I was with that guy? “We were just talking and-” I tried explaining, but he cut me off sharply.He scoffed, “Talking??” There was an edge to his voice as he stared down at me, a dark smirk on his lips. “ So what did he say that was so funny??”“It was just a friendly conversation.” I frowned, staring down hallway with pursed lips. Thankfully it was empty.For now.“And he kissed your hand.” He looked disgust

DIANA I felt my blood turn to ice in my veins as I hoped and prayed I heard wrong.But the footsteps only got louder.I pushed Jerome away from me before I knew what I was thinking, my eyes wide as I stared around frantically. He blinked as he stared at me, clear confusion on his face.“Someone is coming!!” I hissed in explanation, grabbing his arms and moving him towards the bathroom I came out from. “What are you -” He let out a breath as I shoved him in, my heart in my mouth.“Stay in until I tell you to come out.” I ordered, panic pouring through my false composure. He was about to say something but I only shut the door in his face, turning and standing awkwardly in front of the bathroom.Damn it, damn it, damn it!I should have just pushed him away!Why did I stay?I stilled as the person approached, and the footsteps revealed themselves to be Jerome’s Personal Assistant.Oh, Gosh..“Oh, Miss Diana, you’re here.” She nodded in greeting, a faint smile on her face.“Yes, yes, I j

DIANA Oh my God. The woman stared with parted lips, Jerome glared hard at her, her eyes widened when she realized she’d been looking too long for comfort before averting her eyes. “Oh! Oh My god, I’m sorry sir!” She blurted out turning and slammed the door behind her as she fled. Oh my God. How did I not hear her?? It seemed I was the only one having an internal breakdown. This man went back to kissing my neck like we weren’t just caught. “Just stop.” I pursed my lips, staring to the side in embarrassment. I just needed a hole to fall in right now… “Are you sure?” He smirked at me. “Y-yes.” I responded, my voice quivering. He stepped away from me, a smirk still playing on his face. God, he was handsome. But that wasn’t what was important right now!! “Now she’ll tell everyone that she saw me shoving my tongue down the CEO’s throat!” I huffed as I took a step back, my back leaning on the sink. “Well, She's not wrong.” He chuckled, his hands sliding into his pockets

DIANA The drapes lifted to reveal the piece.I held my breath as it was unveiled, at first glance, the bulbous texture of the glass work made it appear like crystalline clouds, but the way it flowed upwards, each glass cloud intricately rising and stacking together, revealed a futuristic tower, the hues of blue on the piece dancing together and separating under different angles and rays of light.My work.I stared at it with furrowed brows. It was hard not to judge myself, my work. But I knew I put so much into this.So much. It was so hard to put the pieces back together, and create this.Luckily for me, there was a welder not too far from the hotel, and he understood my vision. Hopefully everyone else understood it too. And they did. The collective gasps that filled the room and looks of astonishment littered the faces of the guests in the room as they gazed at the piece made a smile grow on my face. They loved it.Like they were on a hunt for the biggest photo opportunity, Th

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

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

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

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
