Alexander’s POV

The moment Claire walks into the event, flanked by an entourage of bodyguards, the air shifts. She commands attention effortlessly, her mere presence drawing every eye in the room, including mine.

I can’t help but stare. It’s not just her striking resemblance to Isabel—it’s everything else about her. The power she exudes, the confidence in her every step, the way she holds herself as though the world bows to her. Isabel was never like this. Isabel lived in my shadow, content to be the soft-spoken wife, the woman who leaned on me for support.

Claire, though—she’s a force of nature. A far cry from the life Isabel led. And yet, despite all the reasons I’ve found to dismiss any connection between them, my gut won’t let go of the hunch. It doesn’t make sense. Why does she interest me so much?

Her eyes lock with mine, just for a brief moment. There’s something unreadable in her gaze, but before I can analyze it, she tilts her head ever so slightly and places a soft smile on

I also am wanting them to get together slowly because I don’t want this book to end anytime soon. Cynthia is so conniving. The way the last chapter was written. I thought that Christine was going to be a bad person thank goodness she’s a good one. That’s a sign of a good author keeps you on your toe

I can’t wait for those two to get together. He got manipulated big time they all did by Cynthia. The fact that he’s acting the way he is about not wanting to lose her again I think is so sweet. Looking forward to them getting closer.

Alexander is just as guilty as Cynthia for even getting with her after what she did to clear. He’s a coward and doesn’t deserve a second chance or seen as a victim in this. He’s a complete moron and I don’t know why Isabel isn’t stick to the plan

  • Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet    244 The weight of goodbye

    Alexander’s POVI sit slumped in the stiff hospital chair, the cold metal biting through the fabric of my shirt, but I barely feel it. My elbows rest on my knees, shoulders hunched, as I stare blankly at the floor tiles, the doctor’s words echoing in my head like a never-ending loop.“The surgery was successful, but her condition remains critical. We’ve stabilized her for now, but she’s in a fragile state. We’ll keep her under intensive care and monitor her vitals closely. The next 24 hours are crucial. Let’s hope for the best.”Hope. That damn word. So light on the tongue, yet so heavy on the heart.In my hands, I grip the small stuffed bunny Sophia always carried—the one she had clutched tightly when she slipped and fell down those stairs. The fur is matted in some places, worn from all the times we played with it. I remember the day I bought it for her, the way her eyes had lit up, her smile full of wonder and joy. We spent that whole afternoon pretending it could talk, taking turn

  • Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet    243 No place to hide

    Isabel’s POVI blink, staring at Christine as if I didn’t hear her right. “Cynthia’s escape from the police?” My voice is a whisper at first, but then it catches in my throat. “But how? How could she have done that? She was arrested alongside Collins!”My legs nearly give way. I reach for the armrest behind me and slowly sink into the chair, my heart pounding against my ribcage like it’s trying to break free.Christine’s eyes shift, nervous, as she nods grimly. “The police vehicle was attacked in transit. Armed men ambushed them. It means there’s someone else working with her. Someone powerful enough to raid a police convoy.”I press a hand to my chest as panic settles in. Christine adds, “But don’t worry, ma’am. The news is everywhere now. The search for Cynthia Castillo is active. She can’t hide forever.”I shake my head, the weight of this crashing over me like a violent tide. “No. You don’t know Cynthia like I do,” I mutter, my voice rough, low. “She wouldn’t have pulled something

  • Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet    242 The Escape

    Collins’ POVI grip the steering wheel tighter than I realize, my knuckles white, the tension running up my arms. Through the window, I watch the tall building in front of me, its sleek glass reflecting the cloudy sky. A breath escapes me—long, heavy. What am I doing here?The question loops in my mind as my gaze sweeps over the structure again. Why do I find myself rushing to her place the moment I hear about Cynthia’s arrest? I should be at the hospital with Alexander. He needs me. But no, here I am… parked outside Aria’s apartment complex, heart pounding like I’ve been in a sprint. Why?Maybe it’s because I wanted to be the first to tell her. Or maybe it’s because I already knew what this news could mean for her. I didn’t want her hearing it from someone careless. Or worse—someone cruel. I wanted to see her face, gauge her reaction, maybe shield her from it.But what if… I lean back into the leather seat, closing my eyes briefly, tension sitting heavy in my chest. She’s not picking

    Cynthia’s POVThe silence after Sabrina’s words is suffocating—like the air has been ripped out of the room.My heart hammers in my chest, cold dread seeping through every vein.My knees weaken, and the floor seems to tilt beneath me.How is this happening?How can she turn on me like this?“Sabrina…” I try to steady my voice, but it comes out trembling. “What… what are you saying?”“She’s the one who committed those crimes,” she says coldly. “She threatened me into taking the fall. She’s the one who tried to have Isabel killed. And she tried to murder my husband too—just so he wouldn’t tell the truth after finding out what she’d done!”Alexander’s voice tears through the tension.“What?!”“She did it all,” Sabrina says. “Every last crime. I was forced into confessing.”No…“No,” I gasp, head shaking, heart pounding against my ribs. “That’s a lie. Don’t believe her, she’s trying to frame me!”Sabrina steps closer, eyes burning.“Your lies are over, Cynthia. You can’t escape anymore.”

  • Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet    240 The real criminal

    Cynthia’s POVI never expected it to come to this.Not like this.The sound of Alexander’s fist slamming into James’s face echoes in my ears, over and over again, like a cruel rhythm that won’t stop. James just takes it—every hit, every blow—without flinching or raising a hand to defend himself. And that stirs something in me.Maybe it’s guilt. Maybe it’s something deeper.I look toward the double doors of the theater, my heart squeezing. My daughter is in there, fighting for her life, and here’s her father—her real father—taking hits in silence because he knows he can’t afford to lash out. Because somewhere inside, he’s accepted the truth too.She’s his.And Alexander… he’s not just hitting James because of the truth about Sophia. No. This is about Isabel. About the man Alexander had been searching for in the shadows, to punish, to destroy. And now he’s found him. In the worst possible moment. If I don’t stop him now, he’s going to ruin everything. He’s going to disrupt the very peac

  • Ex-husband’s Regret: Revenge So Sweet    239 When truth bleeds

    Alexander’s POVI stare at my mother, stunned. Her words twist in my head, refusing to land. My brows pull together as confusion coils in my chest.“What… are you even saying right now?”This can’t be happening.She shakes her head, her voice quiet, trembling. “Sophia… she’s not your child, Alexander.”I scoff, my voice rising with disbelief. “Mom, do you even hear yourself? My daughter is in there fighting for her life, and this—this—is what you choose to say? Right now?”My hand lifts in the air, trying to wave her words away like smoke. “Stop. I don’t want to hear any more of this. I’ll forgive you this once—for the nonsense you’re spitting—but if you keep talking this way about my child, I swear, I won’t take it lightly.”But she doesn’t stop.She shakes her head, her eyes wild as she spins around to face Cynthia. “But Alexander,” she says, turning, storming up to Cynthia. Her hand grips Cynthia’s wrist, tight. “Say something, will you? Why are you quiet now? Shouldn’t you tell my
