My father nodded slowly, a quiet look of satisfaction settling on his face.

That simple gesture warmed something deep inside my chest.

He has always been like that with me—supportive in the quietest but strongest way possible. As long as the choice I made was truly mine, he never stood in my way. He trusted me enough to let me decide my own path, and I loved him deeply for that.

Not everyone had a father like mine.

Some people grew up fighting for approval.

I grew up knowing I already had

  • My Ex-husband's Late Regret    130

    One Week Later--(Ethan’s pov) “Aria.” I called her softly as I entered her room.She turned around from where she stood by the window in her room. “What?” I held out the car keys. “Get dressed.” She frowned. “Why?” “I’m taking you out.” “Where?” “That’s a surprise.” She narrowed her eyes. “Ethan.” I laughed. “Don’t start.” She crossed her arms. “I don’t trust surprises and you know that.” “You trust me, don’t you?” She stared at me for a second. “Sometimes.” I placed a hand over my chest. “That’s heartbreaking.” She laughed, and just hearing that sound made me smile. That was exactly what I wanted. For the past week, Aria had been more silent than usual. She had nightmares. Sometimes she woke up suddenly, breathing heavily, staring at the ceiling like she was still somewhere else. She rarely talked about the kidnapping. And whenever she thought I wasn’t looking, I caught her staring into space. I knew who she was thinking about. Lucien. I wasn’t blind. But I pr

  • My Ex-husband's Late Regret    129

    (Ethan’s POV)My phone rang just as I stepped out of the shower.A sigh escaped my mouth, thinking it was Moretti that was calling. He has wanted to talk to Aria for the past few days, but Aria refused to talk to him.Which was understandable because Aria really went through shifts at the orphanage. “If I wasn’t at the orphanage maybe I'd have never been with Lucien and gone through all that.” Aria told me when I made an attempt to mention Moretti, her father.So I just locked my opinion up, she's hurt and she has every right to be.Getting to the table lamp I glanced at the screen.It was my Mom calling.I sighed before answering, water still dripping down my neck onto the towel.“Hello, Mom.”“Ethan.” Her voice already sounded worried. “Where have you been? I’ve been calling you.”“I was in the shower.”There was a short silence on the line. I could picture her standing in the kitchen, one hand on the counter, the other pressing the phone tight to her ear.Then she asked the questi

  • My Ex-husband's Late Regret    128

    Aria’s POVI stood there and watched them carry Lucien toward the waiting car. The men moved carefully, but every shift of his body made the dark stain on his trousers spread a little more. Blood. Too much of it. My chest tightened until it almost became painful to breathe. He was badly hurt. There was no pretending otherwise.Despite everything that had passed between us—the lies, the cruelty, the years I had spent trying to carve him out of my heart—I still felt that sharp spike of fear. I hated it. I hated that my body reacted before my mind could stop it. But I wasn’t going with him. I already made that choice.Ethan was the one standing beside me. He was the one who stayed when everything fell apart. He was the one whose sister had betrayed us both, and yet he still looked at me first, checking if I was all right. I turned away from Lucien before I could change my mind.“Let’s go,” I whispered.Ethan studied my face for a second, then gave a quiet nod. His hand found m

  • My Ex-husband's Late Regret    126

    (Ethan’s POV) Aria rushed toward me the moment she saw that I was free. She wrapped her arms around me in a quick hug. I hugged her back. Then I pulled away and looked at her face. My heart sank. Her cheek was still red from where Devi had slapped her. I gently touched it. "I'm sorry, Aria. All of this..." "Hey." She shook her head. "Let's just focus on getting out of here, please." I nodded. There was nothing I could say. How could I even begin to apologize for what Devi had done? She was my sister. Or at least, I thought she was someone I knew. Now I wasn't even sure who she was anymore. I couldn't bring myself to look at Aria for too long. I felt ashamed. Ashamed that my own sister had done this. Ashamed that I had once dated her without knowing the truth. The entire situation sounded insane even inside my own head. Then I remembered Madden. I glanced toward him. "Where do you know him from?" Aria looked at me. "I met him in jail." M

  • My Ex-husband's Late Regret    126

    (Lucien’s POV) "Welcome," Devi said with a cold smile. "Clear them. I'm tired of their dramas." I swallowed hard. My entire body was screaming in pain, especially my leg. The bullet Devi had fired was still lodged inside me, and every movement sent a sharp, burning pain through my body. But somehow, the pain in my leg wasn't what terrified me the most. It was watching Aria cry. Seeing her tied to that chair, tears streaming down her beautiful face, had hurt me more than the bullet ever could. I had caused her pain before. I knew that. I had broken her heart, betrayed her trust, and pushed her away when all she had ever wanted was to be loved by me. But seeing someone else deliberately hurt her made something dark and violent awaken inside me. I couldn't bear it. The moment Devi walked out, the main door suddenly opened again. Everyone turned toward it. A man walked inside with a woman in front of him, a gun pressed firmly against her head. My eyes narrowed

    Aria’s POVIf someone had told me a million times that Devi Yashoda, my best friend, would one day betray me, I would have denied it a billion times.I would have laughed at them.I would have defended her with everything in me.Because Devi wasn't just my best friend. She was the person I trusted with the deepest parts of myself. The person I thought would stand beside me even when the entire world turned against me.I never imagined she would be the one to stab me in the back.But here I was.Tied to a chair with my wrists bound tightly behind me, staring at the woman I once called my best friend.And somehow, this felt worse than every nightmare I had ever experienced.Devi sat comfortably in her chair, one leg crossed over the other, a wicked smile spreading across her lips as she watched us suffer.Her bodyguards had tied Ethan to another chair beside me. His face was filled with heartbreak and disbelief.Mr. Sharma was tied up too.And Lucien, the person I thought he hurt me the

    (Lucien’s POV) My phone started ringing as I walked out of my dressing room.The sound cut through the silence of the room like a blade. I glanced lazily at the screen. Mom. A bitter scoff slipped past my lips. Without answering, I tossed the phone onto the bed. The room spun slightly wh

    (Elena’s POV) Aria Beaunot. So that’s Lucien’s ex-wife. The woman who refuses to let him move on. I tighten my fingers around the steering wheel as the image of her face flashes in my mind again. She is so calm, collected and beautiful in that quiet, effortless way that makes people stare twi

    “She won’t say anything,” Ethan told him. “You don’t love her. You’re only jealous because you saw her with me.” Lucien moved a little closer, his gaze fixed only on me. “Yes..." he nodded. "...maybe I had to see you with another man to realize what I lost.” “Ethan, please...let’s go,” I whis

    Lucien’s POV I could accept anything Aria wanted to do to punish me, anything at all. She could scream at me, slap me, insult me, humiliate me in front of the entire city if she wanted. I deserved it. And I know that. I cheated. I crossed a line that should never have been crossed. I shattered so
