My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 169: The Morning Of
Chapter 169: The Morning Of"The salt is the secret."I stood in my kitchen, the city skyline still hazy with the pale light of dawn, and whispered the words to the empty room. Four years ago, I didn’t know how to boil water without a personal chef or a frantic call to a concierge. Today, I was standing over a cast-iron pan, watching the butter foam and turning a perfect nutty brown. I cracked the eggs with one hand, the shells snapping cleanly. I didn’t rush. I didn’t check my watch. I just focused on the movement of the spatula, folding the whites over the yolks until they were exactly the way she liked them. I could make eggs now. I made them well. It was a small, domestic victory that felt more significant than any hostile takeover I’d ever engineered.I didn’t call anyone. My phone sat on the marble counter, its screen dark and silent. There were no frantic texts from the board, no desperate check-ins from publicists, and no last-minute demands from family members who thought
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 168: The Notebook, One Last Entry
Chapter 168: The Notebook, One Last Entry"You’re still awake."I didn't need to look up to know it was my own reflection mocking me in the vanity mirror of my old room at the estate. The house was wrapped in that heavy, expensive stillness that usually made my skin crawl, but tonight, it felt like a cocoon. Tomorrow was the wedding. A real wedding. A choice made with my eyes wide open. But before I could walk toward that altar, I had one final debt to pay to the woman I used to be.The leather-bound notebook sat on the mahogany desk, looking smaller and more fragile than I remembered. It was the ledger of my survival, the only thing that had kept me sane when the world was closing in. I pulled the chair out and sat down, the wood creaking softly under my weight. My fingers trembled as I touched the cover. This book held the secrets I couldn't tell Roman and the fears I couldn't even show Dante.I opened it to the first page.The ink was crisp, the handwriting tight and controlled.
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 167: Marco in the City
"He’s looking for the cracks, Roman. Don't give him any."I adjusted the strap of my heels as I looked at Roman through the mirror of my vanity. He was already dressed, looking sharp in a navy suit that emphasized the breadth of his shoulders. He walked over, placing his hands on my shoulders, his touch a steady warmth against my skin. He didn't look nervous. The Roman Knight wasn't nervous. But he knew as well as I did that tonight wasn't just a dinner. It was an interrogation disguised as a three-course meal. Marco Bellini had been in my life since I was twelve years old, and he held the title of my most protective friend. If Roman was the man who held my heart, Marco was the man who kept the ledger of every tear I had ever shed."I'm not going to perform for him, Sera," Roman said softly, meeting my eyes in the glass. "That would be a mistake. Marco is too smart for that.""He is," I agreed, turning around to face him. "He’s been in the city for two days, and he hasn't stopped t
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 166: The Wedding Question
"I don't want a large wedding."I leaned back against the plush velvet of Roman’s sofa, the Sunday morning sun cutting through the floor-to-ceiling windows of his apartment. The light caught the steam rising from my tea, swirling in golden patterns. It was quiet, the kind of silence that usually preceded a storm in our world, but today, it just felt like peace. I watched Roman across from me. He was dressed down in a soft cashmere sweater, his dark hair still slightly messy from sleep. He looked less like a titan of industry and more like the man who had spent the last hour reading the Sunday papers with his feet tucked near mine."Neither do I," he said. He didn't even hesitate. He didn't check a calendar or mention the potential fallout from the socialites who expected the event of the decade. He just looked at me, his dark eyes steady and certain."I want the people who were there through the difficult things," I said, my thumb tracing the rim of my porcelain cup. "The people wh
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 165: Dante's Gift
"You’re early."I stood on the terrace of the estate, the morning air crisp and tasting of damp earth and the expensive cedar mulch the gardeners had laid out at dawn. Dante was leaning against the stone railing, his dark suit perfectly tailored, looking as if he’d been carved from the same granite as the house. He didn't check his watch. He didn't look at his phone. He just watched me walk toward him, his expression the same unreadable mask he’d worn for as long as I’d known him. He was the anchor in my storm, the man who had seen every version of me, the broken, the defiant, and the reborn."I have something for you," he said, pushing off the railing.He reached into his inner jacket pocket and pulled out a small, rectangular package wrapped in plain white paper. No ribbons. No card. That wasn't Dante’s style. He didn't deal in fluff or filler. Every move he made was surgical, designed for maximum impact with minimum noise. He handed it to me, his fingers brushing mine for a brief s
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 164: Felix's Toast
"To Roman Ashford, who finally figured out what was important."Felix stood in the center of his study, the silhouette of his tall frame framed by rows of leather-bound books that smelled of old paper and expensive tobacco. He held a crystal tumbler filled with a whiskey that probably cost more than most people's monthly rent. The amber liquid caught the light of the fireplace, glowing like a small, captured star. There were only six of us in the room, six people who had actually stood by me when the headlines were ugly and the stock prices were plummeting. Felix didn't do grand gestures for the public; he did them for the people who mattered."It only took him four years and one very patient woman," Felix added, a wicked glint in his eye.The room erupted in laughter. I felt the heat crawl up my neck, a rare flush of genuine embarrassment mixed with a strange sense of relief. In this room, I wasn't the shark. I wasn't the billionaire legacy. I was just a man who had spent a lot of ti

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
