Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet 271 Born of a lie
Alexander’s POVShe staggers toward me like something in her just broke free—arms outstretched, eyes wide with desperation.“No… no, that’s not true,” she gasps, as if saying it will make it real. “You’re my son—mine.”The way she says it—so strained, so theatrical—makes me scoff hard.She grabs my hands, gripping them tightly like holding on will somehow erase everything. “Who told you that you aren’t my son? How… how?” Her voice falters, the word how trembling out of her mouth like it’s choking her.I can’t take it anymore. My hand jerks out of hers, flinging her back a step. Her eyes widen, stunned.“You’re asking me how I knew?” My voice comes out like a slap. “You thought I wouldn’t find out, didn’t you? You tried so hard to keep it buried that you even gave up your freedom—went to prison—just so Cynthia wouldn’t say a word.”Her eyes flash—panic, regret, everything.“Yeah. I heard it all,” I spit. “The night I came back from the hospital after what happened to Sophia, I was walk
Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet 270 Fear in her eyes
Alexander’s POVI glance over at Roy, his eyes still locked ahead, like he’s staring at something already lost to time.“Sorry for your loss,” I say quietly.He snaps out of it too fast, clearing his throat and muttering, “Thanks.”Then he does something strange—he places a soft smile on his face. It doesn’t quite reach his eyes, but it’s there as he turns to look at me.“That’s why I couldn’t help it… when you came to me asking to be part of the kids’ life,” he says, his voice low, but steady. “Because I get it. I really do. That feeling—regret, loneliness, not knowing if you’d ever get a chance to be with them, especially after learning they exist? I’ve lived it.”He pauses. I watch him.“I regretted not having time with my own dad. If he’d been given the chance to be part of our lives… maybe I’d have more memories with him. More time. But death took that away before I even understood what time meant.”I listen. And for once, I don’t know what to say. The words lodge in my throat, st

Alexander’s POVI’m parked right in front of the park—the same one where I’ve been secretly meeting up with Scarlett and Sterling. It’s quiet from the outside, but I already know what’s inside. That familiar mix of chaos and laughter, of kids running wild while parents pretend to keep up.I grip the steering wheel tighter, my knuckles white. A sigh slips out, heavy and ragged, pressing against the ache in my chest. This might be the last time. The last time I’ll sit here, waiting for a glimpse of them.It’s not going to be easy.How can I just stop seeing them?This is a tough one, Alexander. But if the situation calls for it… then I have to. I have to stop sneaking around and start doing things right.Which means facing Isabel.And I don’t even know how to begin that. I’m the last person she wants to see—much less talk to. But if that’s the only way to be with my children again, then I have to go through her. I need to find my way back.I draw in a shaky breath, running my hand throu
Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet 268 Borrowed Time
Alexander’s POVCollins leans against the edge of the table, arms folded. “Malik still won’t talk,” he says, his voice low, laced with irritation. “Like you said, I’m trying not to go all hard on him—but it’s tempting.”I nod slightly, barely waiting for him to finish. “Yeah, well… at least we got to him before those people sent to kill him did.” My voice carries a hint of relief, even if the thought unsettles me. “If we’d been even a few hours late, he would’ve been dead, and we’d be chasing nothing but a name.”The room goes still for a beat, the tension stretching. Then I speak again, slower this time. “But come to think of it… how the hell is Cynthia managing to pull all this off on her own?” My brows pull together. “The raid at her hideout was successful, James is now in custody, and still, she’s able to keep playing these twisted games. Even the fake investors she used to trap Isabel in that condo—dead. All of them. And with them, every piece of evidence we could have used aga
Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet 267 This door stays closed
Isabel’s POVThe moment I see her at the door, everything in me tightens. Roy and I exchange a glance, silent but telling. His brow furrows slightly, and he leans closer to me, his voice low but firm.“We’ll talk later,” he says, eyes flicking toward Sabrina, then back to me. “This looks like something you need to handle.”He brushes my arm gently before stepping aside. I nod faintly, my gaze locked on the woman standing a few feet away like a ghost from my past who doesn’t know she’s not welcome.Sabrina steps into the room with cautious grace, eyes sweeping slowly over the space as if expecting someone else to appear. I stay quiet, watching her every move, and as she takes another step forward, a small scoff escapes me. I murmur under my breath, almost to myself, “Unbelievable. Lately, I’ve been getting more surprise visitors than I care for. First, Aria—begging for a second chance, desperate to be part of my and Roy’s wedding. And now this? Sabrina?”I take a step back, slowly mak
Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet 266 Not over yet
Isabel’s POVIt’s been a week since the police raided Cynthia’s hideout.And still, somehow, she manages to slip through their fingers.I sit quietly, mind far away from the cheerful chatter around me. I should be focused—there’s a wedding to plan, guests to invite, decisions to make—but my thoughts are stuck in the past week.Cynthia. Escaping.Again.She’s never struck me as the type to prepare this thoroughly. All her life, she’s acted on impulse, riding on emotion like it was a weapon. But this? It feels calculated. Too precise. The only person I ever thought might’ve helped her—James—was caught during the raid. Tried to run but didn’t get far. And yet, even in custody, he hasn’t said a word. Not a name. Not even a hint.And still, somehow, Cynthia manages to stay hidden.Still slips through every net they throw.How? Who else is helping her?The question loops endlessly in my mind.When the authorities asked if I had any information that might help them track her, I didn’t hesit
