DAVE'S POV

Some days back, my assistant had informed me of the newly launched multi-billion dollar brand in Clasold City, where every investor around the world was trying to secure a spot with them. I was a businessman, and as such, I also wanted to invest revenue in the promising brand. I had my own selfish interest regarding that.

Even though I had been reluctant to admit it until now, my business was failing. Sales weren't coming as they used to. There was too much competition in the market, and it was difficult to get a hold of potential clients nowadays, considering my products and services were everywhere.

I hadn't told Kristine about this. I didn't want her to feel perturbed, especially now that her crazily wealthy, billionaire ex had suddenly returned, chasing after her. I didn't want her to perceive me as a worthless boyfriend who wouldn't stand up to her ex or her, as a matter of fact. I needed to get my finances back on track. Only then would I be able to match up to

Everything significant to me was at stake here, most especially my newfound relationship with Kristine. I had just gotten her to accept me back, how could I land myself in another mess within the space of weeks since our reconciliation?!Nonetheless, I pushed aside my tumultuous thoughts and reached for my phone, tucked away in my suit pocket.Glancing between the road and my phone screen, I checked for missed calls from Kristi

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    092 ~ Dahlia's possession

    Dahlia approached me, her grin so exuberant that it seemed to attract the attention of nearby paparazzi, who were now eager to take photos as they must have presumed Dahlia and I had a connection.I quickly signaled to Dahlia's bodyguards to handle the situation. I couldn’t afford to have my face plastered all over the news announcing my connection to her; it would only complicate matters for me."Hubby?" Dahlia called out to me again. I thought I hadn’t heard her correctly the first time she referred to me that way.I stared at her, my brows furrowed in confusion, but then I reminded myself of Grandfather's pleas to make Dahlia feel welcome upon her return. I forced my expression into something more amiable. "Hey," I replied, my tone polite yet cool.As she approached, she unexpectedly wrapped her arms around my neck, her body pressing against mine."Miss Dahlia with Mr. Weston!" one of the photographers exclaimed, drawing the attention of others who were being pushed back by Dahlia

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    091 ~ Misunderstood

    ~SEBASTIAN~I panicked the day before and completely lost my composure.I had just returned from my grandfather's place that morning when I received a call from Kristine. She normally didn’t call, so you can imagine my surprise and elation when her call finally came through.I had managed to contain my joy, knowing she had reached out during the day—something she rarely did. We usually exchanged texts at night, so I was profoundly surprised to hear her voice. At first, I thought she must have called because she missed me. Maybe she wanted to tease me. But the question she had actually called to ask shattered me, leaving me in pieces.I couldn't fathom how she knew about it. How she knew anything about Dahlia. For a moment, I had been completely stunned. The bewilderment robbed me of my words, and I fell into an eerie silence after she posed her question. It astounded me how she found out, as the news hadn’t been made official yet. It wasn't even on the Internet, and no one in Claso

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    090 ~ False promises

    It hurt. Hell, it fucking hurt. My heart slammed in my chest, and my legs trembled as I sank to the floor in despair. I gripped my knees, tears spilling from my eyes in a torrent. I shook with disbelief and betrayal. I winced at the sharp ache in my chest—it was excruciating. It felt as though a knife had been plunged into my heart by the man I loved, twisting deeper with every moment that passed. Every moment I recalled he had betrayed me yet again. The pain was intensifying, unyielding, and unbearable. I tried to swallow the lump that had clogged my throat but I could barely succeed. I shut my eyes, attempting to distract myself from my inner turmoil. But his words replayed in my mind. His response. 'I can explain...' That was something I didn't want to hear. Something I dreaded because if you were truly innocent, you wouldn’t need to explain anything to me. Right? I couldn't even tell which pained me more: the fact that Sebastian had lied to me or the realization that everyth

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    089 ~ Or not a rumor?

    I felt my breath catch in my throat, but I fought to maintain my composure. Even if what Dave said were true, I couldn't allow him to see my bewilderment and heartbreak.I fixed my gaze on him, even as my heart raced erratically in my chest. What did he mean when he said Sebastian was getting married to whoever the hell Dahlia was in two days? How credible was this? How did Dave even know? Had Sebastian lied to me? Was he really marrying someone else? Was that the reason he had left so abruptly? And what about the messages he sent me last night? He had professed his love for me and promised to make our relationship work. So what the fuck was this about, really?I shouldn't be getting paranoid, but I was. My insides twisted in turmoil over these conflicting thoughts. The worst part was that I had no answers to any of the questions flooding my mind.My expression tightened, but inside, I was crumbling. I couldn't even tell if this news was true, yet it was already having a profound imp

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    088 ~ The rumor

    "Good morning, Kristine," Amelia greeted me as she entered the living room, where I was still gathering a few work files. I had been up since dawn, arranging these files I couldn't yesterday.I lifted my gaze from my workload and smiled at her, taking in her disheveled hair and sleepy face. "Good morning. How was your night?"She rubbed her eyes, a yawn escaping her lips. Covering her mouth as she yawned, her gaze drifted to the clock. "Shit, it’s 10 AM?""Yeah," I replied with a chuckle. "Good thing it’s Saturday. You should try to get some more rest if you’re still feeling exhausted.""No, thank you. I think I’ve had enough rest," she said, glancing between me and the scattered workload on the floor, her brows lifting with curiosity. "What are you working on?""Just finishing up some tasks I couldn’t complete yesterday at the office," I replied, returning my focus to the files I was sorting."Oh, alright then," she replied, turning toward the couch at the center of the living room.
