Layla's POV.

I hated that morning had to come, refusing me enough time to wallow in my misery.

I hadn’t really slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face again. The shock. The hurt. The disbelief when I said those words.

I lay still for a long time, staring at the ceiling, trying to convince myself that what I’d done was right. That this pain... this hollow, aching pain — was the price of protecting him.

But it didn’t feel noble. It felt like punishment.

After what felt like forever lay

  • His regret; Too late to love me now ex-husband   Chapter hundred and eighty eight.

    Layla's POV. I walked out of the bathroom, grabbing a towel nearby and ran it through my hair, trying to get it dry enough so it wouldn’t drip onto my nightwear. Liam was still awake.He was sitting up against the headboard, one arm resting loosely over his knee, the other propped behind him. His gaze was fixed intently on me. A faint smile tugged at his lips as his eyes followed me from the doorway to where I stood adjusting the strap of my nightwear.“You’re just going to lay there staring?” I asked quietly, walking fully into the room and closing the door behind me.His smile widened slightly. “I was waiting for you,” he said simply.I raised a brow as I walked closer.“For what exactly?”"C'mon Love,” he muttered, patting the space beside him on the bed.It was such a small gesture, but something about it still made my chest tighten... like my heart still hadn’t fully learned how to be calm around him.I hesitated only for a second before climbing onto the bed.The mattress dip

  • His regret; Too late to love me now ex-husband   Chapter hundred and eighty seven.

    Layla's POV. The living room was dark, every lamp switched off on purpose, the curtains were drawn. It felt like we were all holding our breath together, waiting for the exact moment. Hope had been sent upstairs earlier with strict instructions not to peek, though I knew she was probably pressed against the stair rail trying to figure out what was going on.Liam stood beside me, his hand loosely wrapped around mine, his thumb brushing slow circles over my skin like he always did when he thought I was overthinking.Adrian paced near the doorway for the third time, checking his phone, then the time, then the door again.“Relax,” Liam murmured under his breath, leaning slightly toward me. “She’s on her way, you're panicking more than Adrian.”“I am relaxed, I just can't believe Adrian is about to take the bold step.” I whispered back, even though my heart was doing something entirely different.He gave me a look that clearly said he didn’t believe me.From upstairs, I heard Hope whispe

  • His regret; Too late to love me now ex-husband   Chapter hundred and eighty six.

    Layla's POV. For a long moment I just stood, holding the tiny bracelet in my hand while watching Hope spin in slow circles in the middle of the room, her laughter and joy so pure that it almost felt fragile, like something I needed to protect with everything in me.“Mommy, is this dress too big?” she asked suddenly, stopping mid-spin to look down at herself, her small fingers tugging at the soft fabric.I smiled, walking toward her and crouching slightly so I could adjust the hem properly, smoothing it down with careful hands.“It’s not too big,” I murmured gently. “It’s just… perfect.”She tilted her head, studying my face like she was trying to decide if I was telling the truth or simply saying what I thought she wanted to hear, and then she broke into a grin that made my chest tighten.“I look like a princess,” she declared proudly.I laughed softly. “You don’t just look like one,” I replied, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. “You are one, my beautiful baby.”Her eyes

  • His regret; Too late to love me now ex-husband   Chapter hundred and eighty five.

    Layla's POV. Once I pulled up at Hope's school, the closing bell rang just in time; although this time, it wasn't just closing for the day, it was end of semester and I was excited to spend the rest of the holiday with my little bundle of joy, it was more exciting knowing that we will be spending the holiday in London.Yeah right, Adrian's engagement is in a few days and since I've made peace with my past, ofcourse my little family will be vacationing in London. My fingers tightened slightly around my phone as I checked the time again, though I knew I was early, because being early meant I could see her the moment she stepped out, meant I wouldn’t miss that exact second her eyes lit up when she spotted me, and perhaps it was ridiculous, perhaps it was overly sentimental, but those tiny moments had become everything to me.And then...There she was.My little joy bundle. Her little backpack bouncing slightly against her shoulders as she walked hand-in-hand with one of her classmates

  • His regret; Too late to love me now ex-husband   Chapter hundred and eighty four.

    Layla's POV. Liam and I read Hope's bedtime story together following her others, and once she'd fallen asleep, Liam tucked her in and grabbed my hands next, leading me out of the room hurriedly like he had something he couldn't wait to show me. Once we were outside, he suddenly spun me around and before I knew it, his hands were on my face and his lips were pressed hard against mine. "I've been waiting all day for this." He mumbled against my lips. He wrapped his hands around my neck pulling me into his body. His tongue slowly entered my mouth and he moved me back against the frame of the door. His hands moved around down my shoulders and arms and onto my ass. He pulled that part of me into him, pressing against me with his groin. He cupped my ass cheeks in his hands and pulled me from the ground. I smiled and squealed into our kiss as he picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist.Again he pushed me into the door frame as his tongue danced around my mouth. It was passion

  • His regret; Too late to love me now ex-husband   Chapter hundred and eighty Three.

    Layla's POV. I had barely settled into my chair when my mind began betraying me again.It had been happening more frequently lately... these quiet, unguarded moments where my thoughts slipped away from meetings, and everything else I had built so carefully over the years, only to circle back to him.To last night.To the way Hope had wrapped herself around him like she had known him forever, like she had been waiting for him without even realizing it.The way he had looked at her.And God...The way he had looked at me.I pressed my fingers lightly against my temple, exhaling slowly as I tried to refocus on the document in front of me, but the words blurred together, meaningless against the storm brewing quietly inside my chest.Because this wasn’t just about seeing Liam again, or about reopening something I had once forced myself to bury.This was about something far more dangerous.Far more irreversible.This was about the possibility of us.Again.A soft knock on the door pulled m

  • His regret; Too late to love me now ex-husband   Chapter sixteen.

    Layla's POV. Something soft brushed my cheek. At first, I thought I was dreaming, until I felt it again, I could perceive the faint scent of cologne strangely close to me. "Layla." I suddenly heard a voice call out to me in a very hushed tone. "Wake up. We’ve landed.” My eyes fluttered open. F

    Layla's POV. I’d been pacing the hotel room for the last thirty minutes, bored out of my mind. Liam had gone to his company’s branch for an important meeting, he'd said it won't take more than few minutes, but it had somehow stretched into the entire day. I’d tried working. I’d tried reading.
