From Wife to Boss: His Greatest Regret 17
ALESSIA was already up before the house fully stirred. She had taken her bath, dressed halfway and was waiting. The silence upstairs felt unfamiliar, almost suspicious. The kind of silence that came after storms, especially when everything had been wrecked, but no one had started cleaning yet.She stepped out of the room she had occupied for the night and paused briefly in the hallway. Her gaze drifted toward the master bedroom, her brows pulling slightly together.She could sense it was empty. Damien had left the house already, and Vanessa…Then, faintly at first but unmistakable, the loud blare of the television floated up from downstairs. Aha! That was Vanessa.Of course.Alessia exhaled slowly. Good. The coast was clear.Without wasting another second, she turned and walked straight into the master bedroom.The air inside felt different. Familiar, yet suffocating. Like a place that once held warmth but now only echoed memories.She didn’t pause to think, she just moved, quick an

HIS brows pulled together, confusion settling deep in his expression.“Sign the divorce papers?” he repeated slowly.Vanessa shifted slightly on the bed, wincing before steadying herself. Her fingers rested protectively over her stomach as she looked at him.“Yes,” she said. “You should just let her go.”Damien didn’t respond.“She is no longer needed,” Vanessa continued, her voice softer now, but deliberate. “Who needs her anymore, Damien?”His jaw tightened.Vanessa watched him closely, then added,“Keeping her in that house… it’s dangerous.”That made him look up.“Dangerous?”“Yes,” she said firmly. “For me. For the baby.”She swallowed, her hand pressing lightly against her belly.“You weren’t there today,” she went on. “You didn’t see the way she looked at me. The things she said. That woman…” she paused, shaking her head slightly, “…she’s not stable.”Damien exhaled, already sensing where this was going.“Vanessa—”“No, listen to me,” she cut in, her voice rising just a little

“WHAT is it? What’s wrong?” Alessia asked, her voice tight with confusion.Vanessa turned slowly, her face twisted with something ugly— anger, accusation, fear.“You…” she said, pointing at her with a trembling hand. “You want to kill me, right? You want to kill me and my baby—”Her voice rose sharply.“Oh my God! Damien!!!”Alessia froze.“What? No— what are you even saying?” Panic crept into her voice now, her eyes wide, darting over Vanessa.Vanessa didn’t listen.She staggered backward, one hand gripping her stomach, the other dragging along the wall for support. Her breathing came in uneven bursts.Alessia just stood there for a second, lost.Then reality hit.“Vanessa— wait— what’s happening?” she rushed forward, then stopped again, unsure whether to touch her or not.Vanessa let out a sharp cry, doubling slightly as she dragged herself toward the door.Alessia’s heart pounded.Now this was bad, very bad.The moment Vanessa made it out into the hallway, her cries echoed louder,

VANESSA stared at him, her eyes wide.“What?” she breathed. “Why would you even ask me that?”Damien didn’t answer immediately. His jaw tightened slightly, gaze drifting away from her.Vanessa sat up straighter.“Is this about what she said?” she pressed, her tone sharpening just a little. “That nonsense downstairs? Please don’t tell me you are letting that get into your head.”He exhaled slowly.“She was talking too much,” he muttered.Vanessa let out a soft, almost amused scoff.“Talking too much?” she repeated. “She is jealous, Damien. That is all that is. Jealous and bitter. You should know that.”She shifted closer, placing her hand over his.“She can’t give you a child,” Vanessa continued softly. “She never could. And now she sees someone who can… someone who did… of course she will say anything to ruin it.”Her fingers tightened slightly around his.“You know me,” she added. “You know what we have.”Damien looked at her again. The doubt didn’t fully disappear, but it softened.

EVENING crept slowly into night.The house, once filled with voices, laughter, and sharp words, began to quiet down. From upstairs, Alessia could hear it all— the soft shuffle of movement, heels against marble, polite goodbyes that carried none of the poison they had spoken earlier.“Do take care, Helen.”“Of course, dear. We will talk soon.”Soft laughter followed.Every bit of it sounded fake.Alessia lay still on the bed for a moment longer, staring at nothing in particular, letting the voices fade into the background.Then she moved. Slowly at first, then with purpose.She sat up, her feet touching the floor, grounding herself. The silence upstairs felt different from the one downstairs. Cleaner and safer.Without another thought, she walked to her closet. The doors slid open.Her hand moved mechanically, she pulled out a simple nightdress, then paused, glancing at the rest of her things like she was seeing them for the last time.Not everything, just what she needed.She reached

THE bedroom door upstairs slammed shut behind Alessia, echoing down the hallway and to the living room. For a moment, no one spoke.The echo lingered in the room, sharp and uncomfortable, before Helen let out a dry, disapproving scoff.“You see that?” she said, sitting up straighter. “Such blatant disrespect.”She shook her head, lifting her glass again.“Did you all see how she walked out on us? On me?”One of the women clicked her tongue softly.“Very ill-mannered,” she murmured. “No upbringing at all.”The other nodded in agreement.“It shows. You can only refine so much. The rest…” she trailed off with a faint shrug.Daisy let out a short laugh, crossing her legs.“I’m honestly not surprised,” she said. “That is exactly who she is. Always pretending, always acting like she is above her place.”Helen’s lips tightened slightly, but her eyes gleamed with something colder.“Above her place?” she repeated. “That girl should be on her knees, grateful for everything she was given.”Acro
