To say I was fazed would be an understatement. My brows furrowed until they were nearly touching each other.

"What?" I muttered, still reeling from shock and grappling with the disbelief surrounding Amelia's revelation.

I just couldn't believe it. Yet, as I stared at the woman in the image once more, I found myself contemplating the unsettling possibility that Amelia's claims might be true. Cause what were really the odds that it wasn't?

In that moment, I was transported back to the first time I met Dave. I recalled the details now, the memory flooding my mind as vividly as if it happened yesterday. The scene at the bar was clear in my mind.

Dave had approached me while I sat alone at the bar counter. At that time, Mia was just two years old. And no, I hadn’t taken her with us to the bar… Who does that?

We had a babysitter we normally called whenever Amelia and I wanted to enjoy a night out. But that practice ended a long time ago; I no longer allowed any stranger to care for my daug

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    113 ~ Angry friend

    Last night, I barely managed to sleep a wink, but I did.Even after tossing and turning on my bed for what felt like several decades, I eventually fell into a deep slumber. A beautiful one at that, which helped me relax mentally and allowed me to wake up feeling profoundly more refreshed this morning.It's the middle of the week, Wednesday, to be precise. For some reason, a thrilling sensation coursed through me, one I couldn't quite comprehend. I just hoped it had nothing to do with the fact that Sebastian was back. That jerk's return shouldn't be the reason for my ecstasy this morning—that’s what I kept telling myself. Yet, even as I got dressed in front of my vanity, I couldn't suppress the grin that crept onto my face whenever I recalled our interaction the previous night.I shouldn't think about it, but I couldn't stay nonchalant for once to save my life. Well, That's the least I could do since I kept acting tough towards himself all the time. The only person I couldn't deceive

    My fingers were frantic as I reached for the doorknob. I paused, trying to gather my wits so as not to embarrass myself when I finally faced him.I already knew who it was. His cologne greeted me the moment I took a few steps toward the door. The scent sent goosebumps racing across my skin, reminding of how long it's been since I had been assailed by his intoxicating fragrance—one that brought back memories I'd rather forget. For a moment, I contemplated not answering the door since I was still very angry with him, but I ultimately dismissed the thought. I missed him. So much—so much that it should be illegal, because I shouldn't be longing for the same man who shattered my heart to pieces just a few days ago. Yet, my poor heart couldn't numb itself, even for a moment, to save its own life.After a brief moment of contemplation, I released a quiet sigh and proceeded to pull the door open.And there he stood, clad in a tailored navy-blue suit that perfectly matched his charisma. A few

    ~KRISTINE~"So, what did you manage to uncover?" I asked, settling into the chair beside Amelia, who was still engrossed in the computer in front of her.She had been in this position since I arrived home from work about an hour ago. She even skipped dinner, claiming she would eat once she had finished the 'assignment' I had given her. That was the request I made earlier for her to delve into Dave's past. That's driven by my curiosity to understand Sabrina's vague comments.Amelia had immersed herself in the task and had been glued to her computer ever since we last spoke in the morning—or at least that's how it seemed.I chuckled as I observed her intense focus on the computer as she typed on the keyboard like a pro. She actually was. It was her field of work.Bored and barely interested in her activities, I looked away, distracted by the message I had received from Sebastian earlier. My heart melted even now at the memory of it. He had messaged me to let me know that he was returnin

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    109 ~ Nothing new

    ~SEBASTIAN~I strongly suspected something was amiss when my brother, who hadn’t visited my home in three years, suddenly showed up with our mother. Seeing the two of them walking together was unusual, especially since Jamie typically avoided associating with our family.I was Mother’s favorite for a reason. I allowed her to play with me and ruffle my hair as she pleased. Jamie, on the other hand, was indifferent towards everyone, including his own wife. I had witnessed the way he treated her in private, which was a stark contrast to the affectionate facade he put on whenever we were in public or at gatherings, like dinner at Grandfather's.Mother was no exception to his aloofness. Jamie had always been cold towards everyone. Maybe, my other brothers were the only exceptions. Still, they weren’t particularly close. You could easily guess the nature of my relationship with Jamie, and it definitely didn’t warrant any gesture like willingly escorting me to the airport as he had claimed—e

    ~JAMIE~"Are you sure this is the ideal solution, Jamie?" Mother asked, examining the small device I had just handed her."Of course, Mother.""I mean, this is your brother we're talking about. He's as quick as a whip and as sly as a fox, respectively." She stared at me with a mix of skepticism and worry. "What if we get caught?""We won't..." I said, gripping her shoulders to emphasize my point. "If you play your part without raising suspicion.""Are you certain?" she asked again, and I sighed in exasperation. Why was it so difficult to work with old people? Mother wasn't that old, but she kept acting like it. it's fucking exhausting.We had had this conversation numerous times, especially after Sebastian's revelation at dinner the other night. Yet, here she was, still hesitant about my plan to bug my brother."This is the only way to discover his location, Mother. You know he's never going to tell us anything more. Or aren't you curious to uncover the mystery heir Sebastian mentione
