"I entrusted everything into your care, so get it in order, Mitchell," I said over the phone. "I'll be back sooner or later. No, no specific date yet. Until then, manage everything at the office and make sure to check with me first before signing any documents."

I heard her affirming response before I hung up the phone.

A sigh escaped my lips as I glanced around my new home, which I was still becoming familiar with. The apartment was pristine white, including the kitchen where I was currently standing.

After arriving in Puwak City two days ago, Elizabeth had brought us to this place and told us it would be our new home—where we would live until we completed our mission here. It was an average, upscale apartment downtown. At least it could help us maintain a low profile until we finished and returned home.

I shook myself from my thoughts and tucked my phone into my jeans pocket before strutting into the living room, where I found Elizabeth working behind a computer. Oh, she's a

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    127 ~ Busted

    DAVEI remained stiff as I watched Kristine walk away, without a care to the turmoil she had just unraveled within me.My mind was too distracted to focus on the way her hips swayed, her strides exuding confidence, as if she was very satisfied with the bombshell she had just dropped.My head spun, disbelief crashing over me in relentless tidal waves. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe any of it. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined that a day would come when Kristine would discover the truth about her.No, it wasn't possible. I mean, it couldn't have been possible.I had covered my tracks meticulously. I ensured that every trace of her—my ex—was erased.I maintained a convincing façade. I made sure Kristine never grew suspicious of me.Everything had worked out perfectly for three long years.How could she have uncovered this now?It wasn't possible. I couldn't wrap my head around it. And Sebastian couldn’t possibly be the one behind this. I was certain that if he was aw

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    126 ~ Deleted

    Our gazes locked, and the only thing I could see in those green eyes I once found mesmerizing were nothing but lies, deceit, and a man I never truly knew. He stood across the room, a smug smile plastered on his face, like he had accomplished something by crashing my daughter's birthday party with his unwelcome presence. The second thing that fazed me and fueled my annoyance was the fact that he had brought Ariel with him. What the hell was he trying to prove? Did he want to provoke me? Or was he trying to show me that he could replace me with my very own assistant? Like I gave a fuck.My thoughts were interrupted when I caught sight of someone pushing off from a nearby position and advancing across the room in long, purposeful strides. My gaze widened as his scent hit my nostrils, and I quickly whipped my gaze to the other side, only to realize it was Sebastian.The look on his face was deadly—cold. And his entire focus was directed at Dave, who remained oblivious to his presence.I

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    125 ~ Unwelcome guests

    He crashed his mouth back onto mine, savagely nibbling down on my lips. His fingers plunged deep into my core, hitting a secret spot once, then twice, sending stars cascading above me as my orgasm barrelled into me. I released a cry as I came down on his fingers, which continued to move expertly even as I rode the waves of my high, his mouth absorbing all of my moans.After I finally reeled back to reality, he smirked, breaking the kiss and holding my gaze as he locked his head onto mine. "You weren't supposed to cum, baby, but I let you. Next time, it won’t be this easy," he said before extracting his fingers from my pussy.I was still panting, staring at him with lust-dazed and tired eyes. He smirked, lifting his hand and maintaining eye contact as he slipped his fingers, coated with my juices, into his mouth, lapping off every drop.I blinked weakly, obviously spent, as I gazed at him, my body growing again with heat at the foreplay. When he finished licking his fingers clean,

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    124 ~ Jealous, much?

    I let out an incredulous scoff and rolled my eyes. "Jealous, much?" I taunted, meeting his gaze with a mischievous smirk.Sebastian shook his head slowly, his expression radiating danger. "Oh, trust me, mi vida, you don’t want to provoke me any further.""Oh, why, Mr. Weston? You think I'm afraid of you?" I retorted in the same taunting tone, even though deep down, I was. Anxiety coiled within me, and an intense heat spread through my body.He planted his hands on the wall on either sides of my face, pinning me with not just his imposing physique but also with his piercing glare. I swallowed, maintaining eye contact and forcing myself to stay composed."You're not afraid of me, huh," he murmured."I'm not, actually," I said, my pulse quickening as I held his gaze. A nervous swallow traveled down my throat, and I could feel myself starting to melt under the intensity of his stare.I tried to focus, to show him that he had little effect on me, but his cologne enveloping me, made it a

    'Great Sebastian Weston?' Really?A mix of amusement and confusion crossed my features, but Sebastian had already pulled away from Mia, politely asking her to excuse him so he could respond to the unfamiliar man who had interrupted their moment.Sebastian studied the man for a moment, then glanced at me for assistance, clearly not acquainted with him."Please, who?" Sebastian asked.My expression softened, and I gestured discreetly with my eyes toward Amelia, who stood beside Jayden, her face still marred with annoyance at Sebastian."Jayden Tenner," he introduced himself, motioning toward the damsel by his side. "Amelia's boyfriend.""Oh," Sebastian nodded in realization as he looked from him to Amelia. He then shook hands with Jayden. "My mistake. It's nice to meet you."Jayden nodded approvingly, adding enthusiastically. "I could say the same. Amelia has told me a lot about you.""Did she now?" Sebastian remarked skeptically, shifting his gaze from him to Amelia. He smirked knowin

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    122 ~ Lovely couple

    My eyes widened in disbelief, my lips parting slightly as my head spun with bewilderment. To say I was stunned would be an understatement. Sebastian freaking got our toddler a car? Was he crazy?Recovering from my shock, I turned back to the one man who looked so nonchalant, as if he hadn’t just done something utterly absurd. I whisper-yelled, "Are you crazy?!" I blurted out, "Why would you get her a—""Daddy!" Mia's unexpected voice cut me off, prompting me to flinch and instinctively stop talking. My jaw tightened as I pressed back my annoyance, trying to calm down.But I shot Sebastian a sneer before fully backing away. "This conversation is far from over, Sebastian." Instead of being agitated, he flashed me one of his charming grins—the one he usually wore whenever he had just provoked a reaction from me. Like now! But I shrugged him off, disregarding him.The last thing I wanted was to cause a scene on my daughter's birthday, but this was far too much. I would deal with Seba
