HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife 041~
KRISTINE'S POV"Wait, what?" I was dumbstruck, disbelief rippling through me in waves. My eyes shone with bewilderment as I absorbed what Dave had just told me. "Yeah, what a coincidence, right?" He let out a scoff, frustration dripping from his words.Stunned to silence, I tried to ponder this revelation. This was definitely a fucking coincidence and I never would have imagined something like this could happen. Dave had gone all the way to Clasold City to sign a contract, only to find out my ex was the boss in charge? What kind of twist was this?" I-I don't understand," I managed to mutter, still reeling with shock. "How? How is this even possible?" I was so confused, at a loss for words. Dave went ahead to narrate his ordeal and how he had been clueless that Sebastian was the CEO, not until he had been escorted into Sebastian's office. He also told me how Sebastian had humiliated him before declining the request to become partners with him."He gave me an ultimatum, Kristine." D

KRISTINE's POV"Alright, Mia, remember to be good in class. Listen to your teacher, okay? And do not fight or bully anyone, do you hear me?" I said, instilling morals in my five-year-old as I prepared to drop her off at school. We were currently outside her school premises, and I had crouched to her level as I advised her.Mia's steel grey orbs gleamed as she reciprocated my gaze. She nodded obediently. "Okay, Mommy,"I beamed a smile at her as I patted her hair with acknowledgement. "That's my girl," I added. "Remember, not to allow any stranger's offer to take you home, okay? You can't trust anyone." I said, hoping she would comprehend what I meant.But Mia frowned, pouting as she questioned me. "Mommy, where is Daddy? Daddy hasn't come to see me in days. Why? Does Daddy hate me? Did you send Daddy away, Mommy?"I felt overwhelmed as my toddler bombarded me with these questions concerning Sebastian's absence.I couldn't help but scoff as I recalled she had mentioned she hadn't seen

DAVE'S POVI returned to the hotel, feeling dejected, livid, and frustrated. Closing the fine wooden door behind me after entering my room, I crossed over to my bed, where I began undressing after tossing the briefcase I had been carrying all day onto the bed. I took off my suit jacket, unbuttoned my shirt, and rolled up the sleeves before crossing over to the stool close to the vanity mirror in the room. My head spiralled with conflicting thoughts. I was upset. My palms clenched into fists, recalling I had just lost something really significant because of that asshole. He declined the partnership request. He sent me out of his office afterward, like I was a nobody. He made a mockery of me, even without throwing a fit in front of me. Anger surged through me. I felt humiliated. I felt worthless. In fact, I was currently feeling a lot of things that weren't positive, and it was all because of him. My eyes strayed, and I caught a champagne crystal glass resting on the dressing table

DAVE'S POV"... Only then will I see you qualified enough to become an investor in my company,"A painful constriction gripped my chest, more like a cut to my ego as I processed Sebastian's ultimatum. Was I surprised he would do this? Hell no. I had always known he was an arrogant and ruthless bastard who liked to trample on people. I hadn't anticipated less, nor had I even expected more from him than this.It took a while before I reeled from surprise. I chuckled, lowering my gaze as I pondered my thoughts. I needed to play this card right. I was certain he already believed I was the one who needed him and not the other way round. And it was true. I needed him. As a matter of fact, I was really determined to get this contract. However, I didn't want to appear so desperate. I had to think this through carefully if I ever wanted to have the upper hand in any of this.Finally lifting my eyes to match his after a brief contemplation, I replied, my tone unwavering. "You want me to give up
HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife 037~
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 her

SEBASTIAN'S POV"...Dave Filler, all the way from Puwak City,"These words sailed into my ears, my breath hitching with disbelief as I locked eyes with Dave, who mirrored my shocked expression.The silence that ensued after that statement was deafening, to the point it even got Chris darting his gaze between us in confusion as he sensed something was off.I broke the silence eventually, realizing this wasn't a dream but in fact reality. Dave was really in my office as the promising investor/client my company had secured in my absence. I was disappointed, not going to lie."You've got to be fucking kidding me!" I dragged out, my gaze fixated on Dave, whose brows were furrowed in a deep frown. "Dave?" I questioned with bewilderment."You." He muttered, with familiarity laden in his tone. Color had drained from his face due to shock. I wasn't the only one who caught the familiarity in his tone; Chris did as well, compelling him to inquire in confusion."I'm sorry, but do you two know ea

SEBASTIAN'S POVI couldn't believe my ears. I could believe I was actually listening to her spew nonsense. "What?" I spluttered again, my astonishment palpable. Lydia's eyes never left mine as she continued undeterred. "Let me help, Seb. That's all I ask. At least, give me a chance to atone for my mistakes. I swear I'll make it up to you."Oh, now I see what this was about. She was begging me for a second chance. This was merely a ploy to get back together with me. Eventually, I reeled from shock and chuckled mirthlessly. "You know, I never took you for a clown until now," I said to her, scoffing incredulously afterward. The amusement in my expression soon faltered as I said to her icily. "Get out," "Just hear me out, Seb, please," She implored."Get out of my office, Lydia, before I call security on you." I barked.She implored as she reached for her bag, pausing in the process. "Hold on, before I leave, can I ask you something?" her tone was soft and polite, rendering me speechl

SEBASTIAN'S POV.The door to my office swung open shortly after I pressed the intercom button. My face was expressionless as I kept my gaze fixated on the door, anticipating whoever it was. The door pushed further open as a pair of tanned legs stepped into the office. My eyes strayed from the toes of that person to their head. However, my insides bubbled with intense annoyance as I realized who it was. To my utmost despair and utter displeasure, it was the one woman I never wanted to have anything to do with again in this life— Lydia Walker. My demeanor shifted instantly as l locked eyes with her as she now approached my corner after closing the door behind her gently. Her hips swayed with effort as she catwalked towards me in the sky-blue bodycon dress that accentuated her curves I no longer found attractive. Her long fiery red hair was bouncing behind her effortlessly, adding more to her beauty, again I still didn't find her attractive.My annoyance grew, my patience flaring as I

SEBASTIAN'S POV; The following day.I was seated behind the mahogany desk in my luxurious office at Weston's Corp, reviewing the prior sales report this sunny afternoon. I was rechecking the reports to uncover where the little complication that had arisen had stemmed from.My expression was neutral, my gaze intently focused on what I was doing. However, just three hours into navigating my way through the computer before me, I expelled a deep sigh. A sigh of exhaustion, cause I was damn tired. I still couldn't figure out where the errors came from, and knowing I needed to discover it before I could return to Kristine and my child, my patience flared.I was annoyed. Frustrated and disappointed with my staff for not being competent enough. I fucking trusted and left them with this before I traveled out. It hadn't even been a month, and everything was starting to go down the drain. Exhaling exasperatedly, I massaged my throbbing temples, trying to ignore the anger bubbling within me. I
