My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 163: The Press
"They’re calling it a reconciliation, Roman."Dante’s voice was dry, the sound of a man who had spent three hours fielding calls from every major news outlet in the country. I leaned back in my office chair, the leather creaking under my weight. On the mahogany surface in front of me, three different tablets were active. The announcement had landed like a guided missile. The impact was massive, the debris scattering across social media with a speed that even I hadn't fully anticipated.Most of the coverage was exactly what I expected. They were framing it as a return to form. *The Knight and Hayes Merger 2.0*, one headline screamed. They were ignoring the carefully crafted sentences we had sent out. They wanted the drama of a broken thing being glued back together."Let them frame it however they want," I said, my eyes tracking a piece that tried to guess the carat count of the ring. "We said what we had to say.""Some of them are actually getting close to the truth," Dante countered
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 162: The Announcement
"How do we tell them?"I didn't even take off my coat when I walked into Roman’s apartment. I was still in the wool wrap from the airport, the fabric carrying the faint scent of jet fuel and the perfume I’d sprayed in Milan. Roman was standing by the kitchen island, a half-empty espresso cup in his hand. He looked like he hadn't slept a wink, but his eyes were bright and fixed entirely on me. He looked like a man who had spent the night marvelling at the fact that his world hadn't ended."Your call," he said, setting the cup down. He didn't move toward me yet. He just watched me, giving me the space I needed. "Whatever you want, Sera. We can hire a skywriter or keep it between us forever.""Our call," I corrected, finally slipping the coat from my shoulders. I draped it over the back of a chair. "We’re doing this together. No more unilateral decisions."He smiled, a slow, genuine tilt of his lips. "You choose the method. I'll agree to anything that makes you comfortable.""A statement
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 161: Louisa
"ON THE PLANE?"I hadn't even finished swiping the screen to answer before Louisa’s voice blasted through the speaker, vibrating against my ear. I shouldn't have been surprised. In the Montague family, secrets had the life expectancy of a snowflake in a furnace. I hadn’t even reached my car at the estate before the news had clearly bypassed the official channels and landed right in Louisa’s lap."Yes," I said, a helpless smile already tugging at my lips. I leaned against the cool leather of the car seat, bracing myself for the interrogation."WITHOUT THE RING?" she demanded. I could practically see her pacing her living room, phone gripped in one hand, gesturing wildly with the other. Louisa didn’t just process news; she lived it."He had the ring," I corrected her, my voice softening as my eyes drifted to the stone on my finger. The light caught the facets, sending a spray of white fire across the interior of the car. It was heavy, real, and undeniable."HE HAD THE RING THE WHOLE TIM
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 160: Eleanor
"I asked her."I didn’t wait for a greeting. My mother didn’t require one, and frankly, I didn't have the patience for pleasantries. I was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of my office, the New York skyline laid out before me like a grid of cold electricity. For the first time in my life, the view didn't make me feel like a king surveying a conquest. It just made me feel like a man who finally had a home to go to. I held the phone tight against my ear, listening to the silence on the other end."And?" Eleanor finally asked. Her voice was steady, but I could hear the sharp edge of anticipation."She said yes."The silence that followed lasted exactly five seconds. I counted them by the beat of my own heart. It was the kind of silence that usually preceded a lecture, but this felt different. It felt like the air was being sucked out of the room. My mother had been the only one who never lied to me about what I was becoming. She had been the one to point out the cracks in my armo
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 159: Savio Knows
"So, are you going to sit down, or are you just going to stand there and let the light catch that diamond until I’m blind?"My father didn't even look up from the ledger on his desk as I walked into the study. The Montague estate always smelled the same, old paper, expensive tobacco, and the faint, lingering scent of the lemon trees outside. It was a smell that used to make me feel small, like a child waiting for a lecture. Today, it just felt like home. I crossed the room, the heels of my shoes clicking softly on the hardwood, and took the seat directly across from him.I didn't try to hide my left hand. I rested it right on the edge of the dark mahogany, the stone sparkling under the green shaded lamp. Savio finally looked up. His eyes, sharp and dark, moved from the ring to my face. He didn't gasp. He didn't look surprised. He just leaned back in his heavy leather chair and waited for me to find the words. That was my father. He never rushed a moment that belonged to someone els
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 158: Dante First
"Dante, are you awake?"I didn't wait for him to answer. I didn't even check the time, though the digital clock on the car’s dashboard told me it was well past midnight. We were in separate cars from the airport,a logistical necessity for security, though it felt strange to be apart from Roman even for twenty minutes. I sat in the back of the black SUV, the city lights blurring past the window in neon streaks. My heart was still hammering a frantic rhythm that hadn't slowed since we left the tarmac.Dante picked up on the first ring. He didn't say hello. He just breathed into the receiver, a heavy, expectant silence that told me he already knew. He could hear the shift in my voice through the phone line."Sera," he said. His voice was low, gravelly with sleep but sharp with focus."He asked.I had to force the words out. They felt heavy and light all at the same time. I looked down at my hand, the diamond catching the passing streetlights. It looked like a beacon in the dark."On the

Sera had been reading for twenty minutes when her phone lit up.Unknown number. She looked at it for one second. Then she set it face-up on the cushion beside her and went back to her page.She knew.She couldn't have explained how. The number was unsaved, clean, nothing her phone recognized. But s

Roman told himself he was going to clear the air.That was the exact phrase he used in his own head as he watched Sera excuse herself from the chief of surgery and move toward the far end of the room. Clear the air. Practical. Reasonable. They were going to be in the same professional circles and i

Isabella went to bed at eleven thirty.Roman said he would follow soon. He went to his study instead, removed his jacket, and sat in the chair he had been sitting in most nights since the divorce when there was something he could not set down. He left most of the lights off. Just the desk lamp, its
