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.

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 112 — It will always be you.

    Author's POVThe rented space for the private ‘after wedding party’ was everything they had wanted it to be. Not too loud and not too formal either. Just the right kind of warm that makes you want to stay in a moment longer than you planned to.The wedding had gone without a single hitch. Hearty had stood right beside Mellisa the whole time as her maid of honour, healthy and radiant and on her own two feet, which alone had almost made Mellisa cry before the ceremony even properly started. And Jack had been right there next to Josh as his best man, steady and grinning the way he always did when he was trying not to show just how emotional he actually was.Now the four of them were there across the space in their own little worlds, and the evening had taken on that softer, quieter feeling that only comes after something big has finally settled.Josh found Mellisa near the far end of the room, slightly away from the music and the chatter of the other guests. She had a glass of wine in her

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 111 — Justice has never felt this good.

    Mellisa's POVThe morning had started earlier than usual.With the fact that Hearty had to see the doctors this very morning for a final check-up before their departure to their various countries. You know that the doctors that were attending to Hearty with regards to making sure that she gets back to her feet was a special consultation that Josh had arranged, and it coincidentally fell on the same day as the court case. It took a little longer than we had planned and the whole time I kept glancing at the clock on the wall without trying to make it obvious.Dr. Rajan went through each assessment carefully, checking her balance, her response, and the strength in both legs. Hearty stood through most of it, which still amazed me every single time I watched her do it."Everything looks great," Dr. Rajan said finally, closing his folder. "She has made a full recovery beyond what we projected at the start. Keep up with the light exercises and she should have no issues going forward.""Thank

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 110 — Melissa, Josh and Hearty are nowhere to be found in court.

    Author's POVThe day for the court case came too fast.The courtroom was already filling up by the time Officer Adebayo walked in with Barrister Ken beside him. The two of them had gone over everything the night before. The evidence was solid and also the confessions were on record. As far as cases go, this one was as tight as they come.Tony, his mum and Sophia were right there as the respondents, having been petitioned. They sat on their side of the room like people who had rehearsed their faces the night before. Mrs. Morgan had her hands folded in her lap and her eyes forward. Sophia was quieter than Officer Adebayo had expected, staring down at the table in front of her. And Tony, well, Tony sat with his back straight and his jaw set like a man who still believed something was going to swing in his favour.Officer Adebayo scanned the room once, twice, and then pulled out his phone.Neither Mellisa, Josh nor Hearty was anywhere to be found.He excused himself to a corner and dialle

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 109 — She will walk soon.

    Mellisa's POVThe Indian and German doctors walked in together, both of them carrying that quiet, professional energy that makes you sit up straight without being told. One had a clipboard tucked under his arm and the other had a small medical bag that he set on the side table without making a sound. Hearty was propped up slightly on the bed, watching them with that look she had been wearing lately, part curiosity and then part exhaustion, like her body was tired but her mind refused to rest."Good evening," the one with the clipboard said, adjusting his glasses as he approached the bed. "I am Dr. Rajan and this is Dr. Hoffmann. We were briefed on your condition before coming back so we already have a good picture of what we are working with. But we still need to do a proper examination ourselves. I hope that is fine with you."Hearty nodded. "Of course."Dr. Hoffmann moved to her side, his movements calm and measured. He checked her reflexes first, tapping just below her knee with a

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 108 — Tony, his mum and Sophia were apprehended.

    Officer Dan's POVI pushed slightly through the crowd of passengers that were still boarding on that plane, my badge held high. "Police. Step aside, please."People moved without question. Some pulled out their phones and others just stared but I didn't care as I had a job to do.On approaching the guy in question, the security crew in charge of the economy class tried to ask who I was, I showed them my ID card and that was it.The flight attendant at the door stepped forward. "Sir, can I help you?""Police," I said, flashing my badge again. "I need to board this aircraft immediately."Her eyes widened. "Is there a problem?""Yes. Now step aside."She moved, and I stepped onto the plane. The aisle was packed. Passengers were putting bags in overhead bins and taking their seats. Completely unaware.I got to the guy and of course, I introduced myself. “I am officer Dan.” He was sitting in seat 12C. Aisle seat with his hood still up but head down. More like pretending to be invisible."

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 107 — Should we stop the flight?

    Officer Dan's POVWhile still keeping tabs, trying to get to the root of all of this, the fact that we were running out of time by each passing second, kept reoccurring in my mind. And I needed to fasten this if we actually needed to get this right.My eyes were glued to the monitors. Screen after screen showing different angles of the airport. People were walking, rolling their suitcases and checking phones. It was as if all of them looked the same or let's say, all of them looked innocent.But somewhere in this airport, three fugitives were hiding in plain sight.My phone buzzed and then I checked the caller, and it was officer Adebayo again this time. So, I picked it up right away."Dan," his voice came through. "Where are you?""Security office. Still going through camera feeds.""I'm heading there now. We need to coordinate. I'll be there in two minutes.""Copy that."The line went dead and I turned back to the monitors, scanning faces. Also, looking for anyone trying too hard to

    Melissa's POV"Let's get down immediately. We are taking her to the hospital right away because she needs some urgent medical attention." Josh actually backed Hearty at his back at once while I had helped to place Hearty at his back, though with his help. It was way better instead of carry
