KRISTINE'S POV

The moment the lunch break alarm sounded, I quickly wrapped up my tasks, shutting down my computer before rising to my feet.

The conversation I had with Dave just a few minutes ago still lingered painfully in my heart, causing my chest to tighten with heartbreak, but I forced myself to set the feelings aside. Now wasn't the time for all that.

Grabbing my bag from my desk, I made my way out of the office to pick up Mia from school.

As I walked towards the elevator, my thoughts were still consumed by my interaction with Dave. No matter how hard I tried to push it away, the memories kept flooding back and I couldn't help it.

I felt a wave of sadness wash over me, still grappling with his cold silence. It wasn't fair; I hadn’t done anything wrong. However, I refused to resort to begging or appearing desperate for his love. I had been down that path before, and it hadn't ended well. I'd never repeat that mistake again.

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    047 ~ His intentions

    SEBASTIAN's POV"Goodbye, Sebastian," She drawled, her voice sounding like interesting music to my ears. My heart squeezed as I began to watch her walk away with our daughter in her arms. Although she ignored me, Mia continued waving at me genially until Kristine finally settled her into her car. I desperately hoped she would spare a fleet glance my way, at least for her to see that I was watching her. I had been watching her. But she didn't. Her face remained expressionless as she hopped onto the driver's seat and started the car ignition before driving out of the school gates. I felt a wave of heartbreak washed over me. However, I dispelled my thoughts. Why had I expected too much from her? Of course, she was still cold and indifferent towards me. I should even feel fortunate enough that she had spoken a word to me while we were with Mia. I had no right to expect too much from her, not after the way I left things last time. Yes, I was aware I already sent her flowers and apology

    KRISTINE'S POV.I struggled to break away from his piercing gaze, my heart racing and my throat feeling parched suddenly. I momentarily lost track of everything until Amelia's voice snapped me back to reality."Kris, are you still with me?" It was then that I regained my focus, my gaze wavering as I finally managed to pull away from Sebastian's intense stare.Gosh, that was close.With my heart still pounding in my chest, I tried to steady my voice as I spoke to Amelia. "I'll call you back later, Amelia. I'm already at Mia's school to pick her up.""Since when do you end our calls just to pick up our daughter, Kristine? That's unusual."I swallowed hard, knowing she had seen through me, but I remained undeterred. "I’ll call you back later, okay? Goodbye for now," I replied. She was about to argue, but I quickly disconnected the call, my heart racing as I realized Amelia would be furious I had done that. Yet, I knew she wouldn’t back down until I took action myself.Sighing in frustra

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    044 ~ The rift between us.

    KRISTINE'S POV.It had been two days since Dave's encounter with Sebastian. Also two days since he'd returned to Puwak City, yet I had barely gotten a hold of him. He hadn't bothered to visit me after his return. He only settled for texting and calling to check up on me at least once a day. Now, I found that unusual, given this was the first time he was behaving this way towards me, especially since I was already accustomed to his usual special treatment whenever he returned from any business trip in the past.Seated behind my desk at the office, my heart ached as I pondered my musings. I couldn't shake off the feeling that Dave might be avoiding me. It all started from the day he had informed me about his bad experience with Sebastian. Ever since then, there's been changes in the way he talked to me.Even though he tried to mask his true feelings whenever we spoke on the phone, I couldn't help but notice the little changes. Like how I could sense he couldn't wait for our conversatio

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    043 ~ Family Pressure

    SEBASTIAN'S POV After a moment’s hesitation, a laugh escaped me as I processed his words, my head shaking in disbelief. He stared back at me, his gaze completely expressionless. I tilted my head up to meet his eyes, the humor fading from my face as I asked, "Are you trying to threaten me or something?""Call it however you see fit," Jamie replied sharply. "Just offering a friendly warning, brother."I scoffed at the ridiculousness of his statement. I couldn't believe this. "How can you just walk in here and threaten me?" I challenged, my irritation evident. "Have you lost your mind by chance, brother?" I couldn’t understand how he believed he could come in here and make threats towards me like I was some weak-ass rival. While I respected him greatly, there were lines I wouldn’t let him or anyone else cross. Threatening me was one of them."Listen here, Seb. You really don’t stand a chance when it comes to inheriting the fortune; you do know that, right?" Jamie started, leaning in

    SEBASTIAN'S POV After what felt like an eternity, I finally cracked the code. Merely two days of scrutinizing the sales record, I uncovered the culprit behind the chaos. I couldn't believe it was one of my subordinates who had done this, but then again, such is life. We all get betrayed at some point by the people we thought we could trust the most. "Get Martins in here immediately!" I instructed Chris, who had been lingering in my office for direction. "Right away, boss," he replied sedately before dashing out.My hands balled into fists as I gazed at the screen of the computer that reflected my trusted employee's disloyalty and foolishness. Did he seriously think he could get away with stealing without me finding out?My annoyance grew as I awaited the arrival of the traitor. "I'm really sorry, boss." Martins pleaded as he entered my office, immediately facing my wrath. He sank to his knees, begging for my forgiveness and trying to justify the reason he had done what he did. Ho
