Ex-fiance's regretย ย ย chapter 36.
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 couldnโt 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 couldnโt help my gaze drifting to the drapes next to the centre stage. Inconspicuously concealing the piece from the audienceโs gaze.It was going to be revealed soon.God, it has to be perfect.โExcuse me-โ 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 wasnโt 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. Donโt tell meโฆโWhat are you talking about?โ 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 wasnโt really working.โWhat were you doing with him?โ He questioned, his grey eyes narrowed at me. So he was angry because I was with that guy? โWe were just talking and-โ I tried explaining, but he cut me off sharply.He scoffed, โTalking??โ There was an edge to his voice as he stared down at me, a dark smirk on his lips. โ So what did he say that was so funny??โโIt was just a friendly conversation.โ I frowned, staring down hallway with pursed lips. Thankfully it was empty.For now.โAnd he kissed your hand.โ 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.โSomeone is coming!!โ I hissed in explanation, grabbing his arms and moving him towards the bathroom I came out from. โWhat are you -โ He let out a breath as I shoved him in, my heart in my mouth.โStay in until I tell you to come out.โ 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 Jeromeโs Personal Assistant.Oh, Gosh..โOh, Miss Diana, youโre here.โ She nodded in greeting, a faint smile on her face.โYes, yes, I j

DIANA Oh my God. The woman stared with parted lips, Jerome glared hard at her, her eyes widened when she realized sheโd been looking too long for comfort before averting her eyes. โOh! Oh My god, Iโm sorry sir!โ 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 werenโt just caught. โJust stop.โ I pursed my lips, staring to the side in embarrassment. I just needed a hole to fall in right nowโฆ โAre you sure?โ He smirked at me. โY-yes.โ I responded, my voice quivering. He stepped away from me, a smirk still playing on his face. God, he was handsome. But that wasnโt what was important right now!! โNow sheโll tell everyone that she saw me shoving my tongue down the CEOโs throat!โ I huffed as I took a step back, my back leaning on the sink. โWell, She's not wrong.โ 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

DIANAMy phone wouldnโt stop ringing on the drive home, I sighed as I slipped it out of my purse, checking the caller I.D.Mr Leota.I shoved the phone back into my purse, ignoring the call and wiped my tears with trembling hands. You think a few people singing your praise means you are worth something?What have you done tonight that no one has ever done?Kevinโs voice was omnipresent in my mind, no matter how far I ran, heโs there.I stared out the window, my chest tightened as I fought back a fresh onslaught of tears. I reached my apartment in half an hour, my hands shaky as I shut the door behind me.I could still feel my phone ringing in my purse, I swallowed as I walked in, barely present as I threw the purse to the couch, taking off my gown In silence as I walked towards my bedroom.I stilled as I slipped out of the dress, the burn marks on my thigh stretching upwards and disappearing under my underwear.Any man that makes the mistake to fuck you will only dump you in the end

DIANA.My eyes popped open in utter shock as I fell to the chair, an anvil of disbelief weighing me down. โDee?โ Lilyโs voice was sharp through the speaker as I stared at my screen. โDee, are you there??โ She cried out, but I couldnโt hear her.All I could focus on was the video playing. I couldnโt believe my eyes. I hoped so hard that it wasnโt, but it couldn't be mistaken. She was wearing the same gown as I. She was pinned to the wall. He kissed her. Mr. Leota. Me. My heart thumped frantically in my chest, my throat tightening as I read the headlines written in bold letters;CEO OF LEOTA INDUSTRIES AND COMMON EVENT PLANNER CAUGHT INTIMATE ON CAMERA!!My fingers shook as I scrolled, my eyes scanning through the words. Oh god! Oh god! Oh god!โโฆ small scale event planner has become the latest victim of the latest victim of the charming CEOโฆโโDee?

DIANAHis blue-gray eyes stared down at me, searching my face deeply.โWhat are you doing here?โ I asked, my tone filled with surprise. He must have seen it too.โWhy werenโt you picking my calls?โ He questioned, his eyes narrowed as he walked past me, into the apartment.There was no way I could avoid him now. I sighed and shut the door, turning to him, โ I was just a bit overwhelmed by...everything.โ Lily stared at him with raised brows, obviously as surprised as I was to see him here.โUhm-โ She stood up slowly, grabbing her bag and walking straight to the door, her eyes flashing between the two of us. โIโm gonna go now.โ She held my hand, giving it a tight squeeze, โIโll come back tomorrow.โ She said quietly, offering me a small smile.I returned the gesture, holding the door open for her as she walked out. And she was gone.โWho is she?โ I had barely even shut the door when he asked sharply, a brow raised in question.โSheโs my friend.โ I sighed as I turned to him, my arms cro

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, โYou really have no idea how beautiful you are.โ 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, โIโll sto

DIANA In less than an hour, I would see him again. I didnโt 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 foreverโฆ irreversibly flawed. โMaโam, weโre here.โ Williamโs voice brought me out of my thoughts, and I stared at the skyscraper before me with near dread.โThank you.โ I said, giving him a small smile before exiting the car.I had actually insisted on using a cab, but if it wasnโt obvious, Williams wasnโt the type to take no for an answerโฆ especially if heโs been given an order.Yes, I would talk to him about that. I no longer require Williamsโ services. I donโt feel comfortable with it anymoreโฆ not that I ever did, but now itโs different.Things just arenโt 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 weekโฆShe has refused to bestow her presence upon me, drifting far beyond my reach.Maybe itโs because I have been chugging down coffee now more than usual. Iโd 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 couldnโt avoid him any longer.I had spent the last week confined to the walls of my apartment, desperately dodging any reason to go the officeโฆ 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 wouldnโt let my brand suffer because of a personal matter. Iโll just go for the meeting and leave immediately. I won

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.โWhy were you running pretty girl?โ The first man leaned in, the stench of alcohol and cigarettes hitting my nostrils as he spoke.No no no no no-โShe wanted us to go somewhere private, guess she wants to give us a show.โ The other guy said, a disgusting smirk on his face as he slurred, more under the influence than the one holding me down.โP-please, let m-me go.โ I pleaded, my voice coming out as a stutter. They both laughed, โYou brought us here and now you want to leave?โ The second one slurred, yellow teeth glinting under the moonlight.โIโll g-give you anything y-you want!โ I sputtered, my hands shaking as I gripped my purse. โJust name your p-price.โ โYou hear that Jim?โ The first man turned to his friend. โShe said anything I want,โ 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. โDianaโฆDiana!โ I could hear him calling after me, but I couldnโt look back. I couldnโt 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 scarsโฆ 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 tonightโฆ or maybe it was just me, the sudden realization that he knew what I was. Heโd always known. I decided to run, at

He didnโt 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 wasnโt even looking my way, his back was turned to me instead, and my mind raced as I imagined what heโd 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.โI wasnโt expecting you to come here..โ I watered my lips, staring at him with drawn brows.โWhy?โ He only raised a brow.โYou were with your friend, soโฆโ I looked away, hiding the anxiety I felt.โHm.โ He hummed, his eyes regarding me for a moment.โYou guys seem really close...โ I swallowed, my gaze flashing to his for a moment to catch his reaction.โWe are.โ The smile that rose

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??โNice to meet you.โ I managed to say said with a shaky smile, but he didnโt smile back, he only nodded and turned to Mr. Leota, completely ignoring me.โShall we go?โ He raised a brow. โ-weโll miss the reservation if we spend more time here.โโRelax, old man, weโll make it in time.โMr Leota waved him off with a scoff.Old man? I stared at the man with slightly raised brows.How old was this guy exactly?โYou say that everytime and we miss it everytime.โ Ryan rolled his eyes.โHave a little faith in me.โ Mr Leota smirked.โAnd where exactly has that gotten me?โ He raised a brow at him.โDesperately in love with me.โ My eyes widened as Mr Leota nudged him sligh

He wasnโt listening to me. His tongue danced on my neck like a paintbrush on a canvas, I couldnโt tell what he was painting, but all

I tried to release myself from his grip, but it was futile. โLet go of me!โ I frowned at him as I let out a breath.โWhat did you do to get into his bed??โ He practically spat out, his eyes wide in rage.โIโm not having this conversation with you.โ I pressed my lips together, turning to the side in irritation.โAnswer me!!โ He yelled, his tone dark as he pulled me closer.โI owe you no explanation! You hear me??โ I pulled back, my anger rising as I stared at him. โNone.โโSo the rumors were true after all?โ He smirked bitterly suddenly, โ-you did find at fuck your way into the company.โโKevin!โ I ex
