Regret

They say when life throws you a lemon, you should turn it to a lemonade, even though some things weren't just intentional. “For the next three years, you will work under my son, Anthony. You will obey him unconditionally and assist him in developing the first humanoid robots. It’s all stated in the contract.” Melissa, a brilliant first-class robotics engineer, signs a binding contract to save her only sister who urgently needs surgery. Not only must she work for Anthony—the arrogant CEO of the Morgan Group—but she must also marry him. Throughout the contract, Anthony treats her like a lowlife, belittling her at every opportunity and even stealing credit for her achievements, convinced she would never dare to leave. But as the three years draw to a close, her supposed knight in shining armor, Josh, shows up as he promised. Will Melissa walk away from Anthony, reclaim her freedom, and rekindle the spark with Josh? Or will Anthony realize too late just how much he stands to lose when the countdown to their divorce begins? And what if there was more to the accident that left Melissa’s sister in need of surgery—and forced Melissa into this contract? If you want to feel first hand what it means for a lady to possess her possession, then get over here!

Chapter 1- Just three more days, Mellisa!
Melissa’s POV“Honey, do you like how my outfit looks for the signing?”It was a gentle question, more like a soft attempt at getting his attention, a small moment of warmth that I should’ve known better than to expect.What I got in return was a hot, undiluted slap that stung my skin and echoed through the room and I'm turn sent ripples down my spine. My head snapped to the side and abruptly my breath caught somewhere between shock and resignation. This was my husband — or rather, the man who wore the title like a crown but treated me like an unpaid servant.I pressed my palm to my cheek, feeling the sting spread. His eyes burned with the same disgust I’d seen too many times to count.“Don’t act coy with me,” Tony sneered, his voice sharp enough to slice through the whole room. “Just because you tricked my mother into marrying me doesn’t mean I’ll allow trash like you to carry my child.”His words landed harder than his hand. My lips parted, but no sound came out. As I wouldn't dare

Chapter 2- It wouldn't last forever.
Melissa’s POV“Per the contract, I built Morgan Group into a tech powerhouse. But its growth is fragile. This is a ten-billion-dollar deal locked in stability for the next decade,” I explained to our latest clients, my tone professional yet calm. The polished conference room lights reflected off the glass table.A small thought flashed through my mind, Although Tony wouldn’t admit it, this is one thing I’ll always be proud of. Something I can finally beat my chest for.“Yes, ma’am,” one of the men across the table said with a respectful nod. “Everyone in this field knows how good you are. That’s why our boss sent us here.”I smiled faintly, used to hearing words like that. Compliments like these had become routine, almost mechanical, from first-time clients. Still, they meant something. They reminded me of the one thing Tony could never take away—my competence.I leaned forward slightly to pass a document, and then afterwards to read and sign the final section.Just immediately, my ph

Chapter 3- The wait will be worth it.
Melisa's POV I managed to look up, holding my cheeks from the hot slap I just received like a gift from him. The sting spread across my skin like wildfire, and for a second, all I could hear was the ringing in my ear and the faint murmurs of people around. My chest tightened, but I forced myself to keep my voice steady.“The company which was ‘signing venue’ is not very close to here. But I care to know, why the urgent call?” I asked, trying to keep my tone polite, even though my voice trembled slightly. Maybe I just wanted to confirm if the slap was really necessary, but deep down, I already knew the answer. It was never about reason with Tony—it was about control.He didn’t even blink or flinch. His expression stayed cold, like he hadn’t just raised his hand against me in front of people. “You know, nothing much.” He paused, then clapped his palms together dramatically, pretending like he’d just remembered something. “Oh! Anyway, you’re right on time, right? My shoes are dirty.”He

Chapter 4- Passed out.
Melissa’s POV“Chop chop!” he barked like I was a dog. The laugh that followed from the circle around him sounded like knives in my chest.As bitter as the truth is, licking his shoes already felt like I was a dog but I had no choice. My hands were still stinging from the fall, and my dress smelled of spilled wine. I crawled forward on my palms and knees, each inch a small defeat, and pressed my tongue against the leather of his shoe the way he wanted.He smirked and glanced around the room like a man watching an audience applaud. “There you go. Good girl,” he said, loud enough for everyone to hear. “See? She’s so obedient.”The word obedient landed like another slap. I wanted to lift my head, to spit in his face, to shove him and the rest of them and run until the city swallowed me whole. Instead I stayed low and tasted leather and shame.Sophia's pale laugh leaned in, eyes glinting with triumph. “Well, Melissa,” she cooed, the tone so sugary it made my skin crawl, “truly, you are To

Chapter 5- Josh is Back.
Melissa’s POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I heard was a tender voice which felt calm and low, almost whispering beside me.“You were glowing three years ago,” the voice said softly, “so full of visions and dreams that we planned on both achieving together. Now, you’re covered in bruises.”For a moment, I wasn’t sure if it was real or just part of a dream. My eyelids felt heavy, like they’d been glued shut. The voice carried something familiar — something that pulled me closer to consciousness. Then a gentle touch brushed my arm which seemed all warm and careful, like whoever it was didn’t want to hurt me.My eyes fluttered open with the bright hospital light stinging a little. Yeah, I could predict it was a hospital with the environment and I instantly recalled that I passed out because of some allergic reaction. I squinted, trying to adjust. At first, everything was blurry with the faint hum of machines and the smell of antiseptic. But when I finally turned my head, my breath cau

Chapter 6- Tomorrow’s launch is my day.
Tony’s POV“Mum, I heard the urgency in your voice and I decided to come over. What could it be?” I said, already annoyed I’d been dragged from a meeting with Sophia for this.“You know, it’s just a day to the robot launching of the Morgan Group. But unfortunately, I won’t be around as I have a business matter outside of town. I’ll be leaving late this evening so that I can be there first thing tomorrow.”That was her way of putting pressure on me without sounding like it. She thinks absence makes her commands louder.“It’s fine,” I answered, trying to keep my tone even. “After all, your attention isn’t really needed for the launch tomorrow. I can handle everything.”She didn’t let me off that easy. “That’s the point, son. I have to call your attention to something I have never failed to tell you before…”Her voice had that slow, measured cadence when she wanted to make sure I caught each word. I braced because somehow, I already knew where this was heading.“Mum, I hope this isn’t ab

Chapter 7 – Three Minutes to the Time
Melissa’s POVEverything about today feels like freedom.You know that kind of day where your chest feels lighter even before the sun rises? That’s what this morning felt like because it's D-Day. The one I’ve been counting down to for three years. The day everything which includes pain, humiliation and fear will finally stop having a hold over me.I stood before the mirror earlier, fixing the last strand of my hair, staring at a reflection that almost didn’t look like me anymore. I looked tired, sure, but I also saw something else in my eyes which was peace. The quiet kind that comes when you know you’ve already made up your mind and nothing can shake it.But to think of it, Tony might hate me, but his mother had always been the only warmth to my soul in this marriage. And for that alone, I made myself a promise today that I would make sure the Morgan Group remained stable. Even if I walk away from it, it will still stand tall for the next ten years. With that, myconscience would be c

Chapter 8 – The Time Is Up!
Mellisa’s POV“Oh yeah! Go ahead and tell them that you’re still mine until I say otherwise.” His voice cut through the hum of murmurs in the hall like a blade drawn across glass. The sound of it made my stomach twist, but I didn’t flinch. Not this time as I just stood there, eyes low, lips pressed together, pretending I hadn’t heard him. My focus was on something else entirely which was my clock. I kept stealing quick glances at it, timing the seconds and willing them to move faster.Every tick was a reminder and every passing second whispered, ‘Hold on, Mellisa. Just a little longer.’He took a step closer. “I am your master,” he said, his voice dripping with venom. “I can give you anything and I can take it all away. Disobedient dogs get put down, you know.”And with that, he shoved me hard. I stumbled but still managed to keep my balance. Gasps rippled through the hall which felt sharp and heavy like a wave crashing against stone. People were staring and frozen in disbelief. The m

Chapter 9- It's time to rule my world.
Mellisa’s POVI could still see the shock rippling across his face, and that alone fueled me. I didn’t even stop immediately because I wanted him to feel it, like every single bit of it. My palms stung, but it felt nothing compared to what he deserved. I added three more slaps before he could even blink. Every time he tried to lift his head, another one landed across his face. The sound of it echoed sharp and clean like thunder cracking through silence.By the time I got to the fourth, my breath came heavy. My chest burned though, but my heart felt light for the first time in years. Watching him stumble back with eyes wide and his mouth hanging open almost made me laugh. He never saw it coming, of course he didn’t. He’d spent too long believing I’d always stay quiet, that I’d keep enduring and maybe keep folding myself smaller just to keep him calm.But not today!Now, I could feel my hands trembling, not from fear, but from the rush of finally snapping the chain. I had already made p

Chapter 10 — No one dares to hire her!
Mellisa’s POV“You think you can survive without me?”He sneered abruptly, his eyes glinting with something dark. But when I didn't reply to him immediately, I could see the disappointment etched across his face which was all raw and ugly. He must have been taken completely unaware by everything that just happened. You know that moment when someone thinks they’ve finally regained control, and then life throws another slap at them? That was exactly what I gave him—literally and figuratively. Every blow, every word, every ounce of my rage and now the silence was my way of showing him that I wasn’t that same stupid woman anymore.You should have seen the look in his eyes as it was the kind that begged for a pause, for mercy, but there was no mercy left in me anymore to give.And the strangest part? I loved it. That rush, that ecstatic satisfaction that bubbled up inside me felt like something I had been starving for my entire life. I never knew such a feeling even existed. It was messy,
