CHAPTER 61– STORMING OUT

MAYA'S POV

I didn’t even think twice. I just grabbed my coat and stormed out of the mansion like a girl on a mission, the mansion’s heavy doors closing behind me with a thud that felt final. The security guard... so sweet, and clueless man... sprang up, offering to escort me like I was some fragile porcelain doll. Cute, but no. I flashed him a half-smile, waved it off, and told him the café was just a few blocks away. No need for an entourage.

The morning was… ugh, annoyingly beautiful. The kind of daybreak that made poets lose their minds. The sky was bleeding soft pinks and oranges, like someone had spilled watercolor across the horizon and decided to leave it there. The air was crisp, cool enough to sting my nose, but not enough to make me regret leaving in just a coat. The city was quiet but alive... the murmur of a cyclist passing by, the distant clink of bottles as a shop owner arranged his display, and the faint smell of fresh bread drifting from a bake

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   WHEN SUNSHINE VANISHES

    CHAPTER 69 – WHEN SUNSHINE VANISHES LARRY’S POVYeah. She heard me.God, kill me now.Maybe my brain short-circuited and my mouth forgot its job description. Or maybe the universe just sat back with a bag of popcorn, waiting for me to finally humiliate myself in public. Either way... she fucking heard me say it.Her head snapped up, those eyes narrowing just slightly, like, “Excuse me? Did this man just...?” And me? Oh, I froze. Picture this: multimillion-dollar CEO, trained to stare down investors and bull markets without blinking… suddenly reduced to a fourteen-year-old at prom who just tripped over his shoelace.“Uh...” I coughed, fiddling with my tie like it had suddenly developed a chokehold. “I… meant the flowers. Sexy arrangement. Very… seductive bouquet.”Yeah. That was the genius line my billion-dollar brain came up with. Somebody put me out of my misery.But instead of calling security, or reporting me to HR for verbal assault on a bouquet, which, let’s be honest, she sho

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   HOW IT ALL STARTED

    CHAPTER 68– HOW IT ALL STARTED LARRY'S POVI didn’t stay at the bar a minute longer. I packed up, left, and hit the road home ASAP. Lucky me, Brandy wasn’t around... because there was no way I could’ve handled that sunshine smile or her sweet little snacks right now.I fished my phone out of my pocket and punched in her number. Rang once… twice… and straight to voicemail. Of course. Typical Maya... always elusive when I needed her most. She would’ve known exactly what to do now... she always does, like some kind of human GPS for my disaster life. I called again. And again... and again. Nada. Nothing. Where did it all go wrong? Seriously. She’s always been sweet, my Maya... always. Even when I only knew her as that always smiling flower girl in that florist shop. I laughed at the memory, a little bitter, a little wistful too. Funny how some memories can feel like a warm hug and a kick in the gut at the same time.How did it even start? Me, Larry Jonathan... CEO, empire-builder, life

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   DYNASTY AT STAKE

    CHAPTER 67 – DYNASTY AT STAKELARRY’S POV I literally stayed staring at my desk like it had personally offended me. The polished mahogany might as well have been lava because my thoughts were melting me from the inside out. Kane had just excused himself, smooth as a spy slipping out of a bad rom-com, leaving me alone in the aftermath of Davenport’s verbal nuclear bomb.Mr. Kane had just left, excusing himself with that faint, almost polite nod that reeked of calculated distance. Like he had read every chapter of my life and decided today was a good day to remind me just how messy I really was.I ran a hand over my face, pulling the edge of my tie a little tighter, Kane… you’re lucky you’re so damn polished, or I’d throw this tie at you. Kane had that talent... the uncanny ability to place a mirror in front of your conscience and make you squirm in the reflection of your own secrets I could feel the weight of the conversation pressing down on me, suffocating in a way that no empire,

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   LEGACIES AND LIES

    CHAPTER 66 – LEGACIES AND LIESLARRY’S POVBy ten, I was in the shower. By twenty, I was already on the road. And by thirty, I was sliding into the company lot, dressed like the CEO’s nightmare but running strictly on coffee fumes and unholy amounts of attitude. I parked my car, threw on my best fake confidence, and strutted into the building like a man who knew the game was ninety percent appearance and ten percent caffeine.The glass doors of the company greeted me with their usual sterile shine, a cold reflection of power and money. Employees swarmed the lobby like ants, each carrying files, coffees, and fake smiles. They nodded at me as I strode past, some whispering my name like I was either a savior or a scandal waiting to happen.The air practically shifted the second I stepped into the executive hall... thick, heavy, like the universe already knew drama was waiting for me. Even before I reached my office, I caught the voices... smooth, sharp, dripping with that “I run the wor

    CHAPTER 65– PAWNS AND PLAYERS MAYA'S POVWhat would you do if death brushed past you so close you could feel its breath? If your life literally flashed by like some bootleg Netflix montage? I don’t know about you, but me? I was totally freaking out. Like, the “my-soul-almost-left-my-body” kind of freaking out.I kept quiet the entire ride, and honestly, I was glad Damian did too... though I did catch him stealing glances at me.My hands were still trembling when Damian’s SUV screeched past the gates and rolled into the mansion’s driveway. The tires hadn’t even stopped crying before my lungs snapped for air like they’d been underwater for years.Damian killed the engine, but his death grip on the steering wheel didn’t ease up. His knuckles were practically throwing a tantrum, veins popping like every nerve in his body was screaming at him to stay in control. But his eyes? Oh no, his eyes gave him away. They were sharp, restless, searching the rearview mirror even though we were safely

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   MAYA JESUS

    CHAPTER 64– MAYA JESUS DAMIAN'S POV Just like that... some idiot just yanked me out of my daydream about my first kiss with my boyfriend. I swear, if I had a gun right now… maybe this hospital would have rushed into another surgery or something. But nope. Lucky me, no gun. Because that “idiot” turned out to be my detective... Detective Stanley, and, surprise, he actually came bearing good news. News that set my mind racing faster than any caffeine could. One moment I was in control, calculating, daydreaming... oops...scratch that please...strategizing, and the next… the universe dropped a curveball called Maya Perkins in my lap. He’d found her. Marvin’s ride-or-die, the girl he trusted more than anyone. And damn it, I wasn’t going to lie... I was jealous. That wasn’t supposed to happen. I was supposed to be the man holding everything together, but here she was, fragile and fierce in the same damn hospital as him, both of them reeling from the same disaster.Stanley explained the si
