HIS REGRET AFTER I WALKED AWAY CHAPTER 8
CATHERINE'S POVI watched Ryan stare at the red divorce certificate on his desk from across the room no, that wasn't right. I wasn't there. I was already gone.Let me focus on what I actually saw.The ride back from Grandma Ruth's had been quiet. Too quiet. But I couldn't dwell on Ryan anymore. I had work to do.Caleb, Ethan, and I stepped out of Paragon Tower, leaving the sting of victory in the air behind us.Ethan threw his arm around Caleb's shoulder. "That was amazing. Did you see their faces? Red as tomatoes."I laughed lightly. "People like them never expect the tables to turn. But once they do, they're done."Caleb smirked. "You just needed the right leverage."I nodded, my eyes scanning the street as I thought. Grandpa had sacrificed too much to get the majority shares. Every step from here on had to be careful, precise. Six years ago, we almost lost everything. Now I had the chance to set it
HIS REGRET AFTER I WALKED AWAY CHAPTER 7
CATHERINE'S POVCaleb gave Jason a plain nod before turning to me, a curve lifting his lips. "I heard from Michael that you've taken dance lessons before. Could you show me a step or two?"I tilted my head, amused. "That isn't enough?"Their hands met, and we moved toward the floor together. Jason blinked, shaking his head with a chuckle as he returned to his drink. "That mortal should know how to steal the spotlight."The DJ dimmed the lights, shifting colors onto the stage, glowing into a soft, slow style. Caleb's movements matched mine as if we had been practicing for months. Everyone who hadn't known just assumed. For him, it was part of his job pushing posture, elegance, charisma all like second nature.Ethan let out a whistle at the sip of whiskey. "Not bad at all."I hadn't danced in years. My steps began steady, but during the last spin, my heel twisted, throwing me off balance mid smooth motion. Caleb caught me his

KATE'S POVKate Walker moved prickly through Brook residence, her tone sharp as she pointed at items one after another."Get rid of those. Toss those slippers. And for the dishes, don't you dare leave them in the cabinet."The housekeeper hesitated, arms full of folded linen. "Um, Mrs. Walker, aren't some of these things new?"Kate's eyes narrowed. "I don't care if they were bought yesterday. If Catherine's hands touched them, they're gone. We don't keep trash in this house."The clatter of dishes echoed as bowls were dropped into a box.At that moment, the front door opened. Ryan stepped inside, the faint scent of smoke and city air clinging to his jacket. He froze at the sight of the chaos."What's going on here?"Kate turned with a notch, waving her hands as if swatting flies. "Finally, I'm cleaning out the remnants of that woman. Why should we keep her things around? Sarah's your future wife. Not her."
HIS REGRET AFTER I WALKED AWAY CHAPTER 5
CATHERINE'S POVThe morning came too quickly. I hadn't slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ryan's face—not the cold version, but the way he looked six years ago when he promised me anything. Anything but love.I dressed carefully. Not for him. For me. A navy blue dress I hadn't worn in years, one that reminded me of who I was before the Brook house swallowed me whole.Michael texted: You want me to drive you?No. I need to do this alone.I'll be outside anyway. Don't argue.I almost smiled.Aunt Larisa's office sat on the tenth floor. I had been here once before—the day I signed the marriage papers. Back then, I trembled with hope. Now I walked with the heavy certainty of someone who had nothing left to lose.Ryan was already there.He sat in a leather chair, his posture rigid, his suit perfectly tailored. But when his eyes met mine, I saw something unexpected. He looked tired. Not late-

CATHERINE'S POVThe car door shut behind me. I sank back into the seat, my chest rising and falling as if I had just finished a long race. I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding.In the driver's seat, Michael glanced sideways, grinning like he had a secret. "So now that you're officially free, you want me to take you somewhere fun?""Fun?" I shot him a sharp look. "What do you mean?""There were some pretty faces at the Solex launch today. Maybe you want to...""You're kidding." I crossed my arms. "I just signed divorce papers and you're trying to drag me into that place?"He chuckled, unbothered. "Relax. It's not about that. Someone's waiting to see you. Someone you actually know."My brow furrowed. "Who?""You'll see. I promise, no tricks this time."I considered whether he was bluffing. Curiosity talked stronger than my hesitation. Finally, I nodded once. "Fine. Let's go."The S

CATHERINE'S POVMichael stood waiting at the gate, his hands in his pockets, watching me walk toward him.The cool air carried a stillness that seemed to follow me. When I smiled, it wasn't forced. It was lighter than anything he had seen on my face in years."You've finally made up your mind?" he asked. His voice was careful, almost teasing."I've never been so sure."My steps slowed, but the certainty in my words never did. For a moment, Michael just stared at me. That glow on my face reminded him of the girl I used to be, the one who laughed without worry, long before six years of weight had dulled my spirit."I was starting to think you'd never break free," he muttered, shaking his head. "Honestly, I thought you'd stay stuck forever. Six years, Catherine. What did you even see in that man?"I gave a small laugh, more self mocking than amused. "Don't remind me. I ask myself the same thing now. Why was I so blind?"
