"Ms. Montague doesn't reconcile with an ex-husband who was reportedly inattentive throughout the marriage suggest a certain well, a certain lack of self-preservation?"

The question didn't come from a tabloid hack. It came from a business journalist at a Montague Industries function, someone who usually stuck to quarterly earnings and market volatility.

She was sharp, leaning into my space with a pen poised over her notepad like a weapon. The room around us was filled with the hum of high-level

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 139: The Harder Question

    "You’re going after the logistics contract for the Global Port initiative, aren’t you?"I didn't wait for him to look up from his tablet. I stood in the doorway of his home office, my spine straight and my heart beating a rhythm that felt like a warning. I had seen the internal memo on a shared industry server five minutes ago. My family has held a consulting relationship with the Port authorities for a decade. It’s a delicate balance, one built on trust and legacy. Roman was moving in for the kill without so much as a whisper in my direction.Roman finally looked up. He didn't look guilty. He didn't look like he’d been caught in a lie. He just looked like Roman. Calm. Focused. Calculated. He set the tablet down on the mahogany desk and leaned back, his eyes searching mine."My team put the bid together last week," he said. His voice was steady, like he was discussing the weather. "It’s a strategic move for our shipping division. Why?""Why?" I echoed. I walked into the room, the heel

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 138: Louisa's Party

    "It’s just a dinner, Roman. Stop adjusting your tie like you’re preparing for a deposition."I caught my reflection in the hallway mirror, my fingers lingering on the silk knot. Sera stood behind me, her eyes tracking my movements with a mix of amusement and something softer. I wasn't just adjusting a tie. I was preparing to step into a den of lions that didn't share my last name. Louisa Reyes calling something "a dinner" was like a hurricane calling itself a breeze. There were twelve people on the guest list. All Montague family and associates. All people who had seen me fail her the first time."I know what a Montague dinner is, Sera," I said, finally dropping my hands. "It’s a tribunal with better wine.""You're not wrong," she admitted, walking over to smooth the lapels of my jacket. "But you’re here. That’s half the battle won already."I hadn't brought anything to the house without asking her first. I didn't want to make a mistake with a bottle of wine that carried the wrong hi

    "Ms. Montague doesn't reconcile with an ex-husband who was reportedly inattentive throughout the marriage suggest a certain well, a certain lack of self-preservation?"The question didn't come from a tabloid hack. It came from a business journalist at a Montague Industries function, someone who usually stuck to quarterly earnings and market volatility. She was sharp, leaning into my space with a pen poised over her notepad like a weapon. The room around us was filled with the hum of high-level networking and the clink of expensive crystal, but the air between us suddenly turned ice cold.I didn't blink. I didn't let my smile falter, though the "inattentive" comment stung in a way that made my blood simmer. It was a fair assessment of the past, but the past was a ghost I had already buried. I stood my ground, my posture perfect. I wasn't just representing a name anymore; I was representing the woman I had fought to become."We're not reconciling," I said, my voice cutting through the

    "The headlines are exactly what we expected, Roman. They’ve picked up every single photo from the gallery."Priya stood in the doorway of my office, her tablet gripped tight in her hand. I didn't need to look at the screen to know what she was seeing. I had already scrolled through the digital wreckage before my first cup of coffee was cold. The coverage was massive. It was everywhere. My name and Sera’s name were linked in every lead paragraph, plastered over high-resolution shots of us standing together in front of that blue painting. The speculation was a wildfire. Every outlet was calling it a reconciliation.I sat back in my chair, the leather creaking under my weight. I felt strangely detached from the noise. For years, my life had been governed by the rhythm of the press. I had lived and died by the public’s perception. But today, the world’s opinion felt like distant static. I was choosing not to be governed by it. I had made my choice in that gallery, and the aftermath was ju

    "You’re staring at the entrance again, Roman. If you were any more focused, you’d burn a hole through the mahogany doors."I didn't turn to see which board member was trying to make small talk. I didn't care. I stood in the centre of the museum’s main gallery, the high ceilings and priceless art serving as nothing more than a backdrop for the only thing that mattered tonight. I was there first. Again. I wasn't tucked away in a VIP corner, and I certainly wasn't on my phone. My hands were empty, my attention absolute. I was a man waiting for his world to start.Then the doors opened, and the air left the room.Sera didn't just enter; she arrived. She was a vision in silk that caught the light with every step, but it wasn't the dress that held the room captive. It was the way she carried herself. She didn't rush to find me. She didn't look around for a familiar face to hide behind. She walked through the room not across it but through it entirely herself. She stopped to greet a curator

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 134: Before the Event

    "Tell me you're ready, Sera."Savio’s voice was like gravel over the line, cutting through the silence of my office. He didn’t do small talk, and he didn't offer empty platitudes. He was the strategist, the man who saw three moves ahead of everyone else, and he knew that what I was about to do was more than just a social appearance. It was a declaration of war on the old version of my life. It was a total surrender to a new one."I'm ready," I said, leaning back in my chair. My voice didn't shake. My pulse was a steady, rhythmic thrum in my neck."Then go be seen," Savio replied, and I could hear the ghost of a smile in his tone. "And be exactly who you are while they're looking. Don't give them a performance. Give them the truth. It’s much harder for them to dismantle."I hung up, feeling the weight of his words settle into my bones. For years, I had been a master of the performance. I knew how to tilt my head to catch the light, how to smile just enough to seem approachable but not
