My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 184: He Was There
"You're actually here."I didn’t look up as Roman stepped into the room. I didn’t have to. I knew the weight of his presence, the way the air seemed to settle and solidify the moment he crossed the threshold. I was sitting in the same hard-backed chair by my father’s bed, my hand still resting near Savio’s, a silent vigil I hadn’t known how to break. Roman didn’t say a word. He didn't offer a platitude or a scripted apology for the intrusion. He just sat down in the chair beside me, his thigh brushing against mine, and stayed quiet. For the first few minutes, the only sound was the rhythmic, shallow breathing of the man who had built my world and was now, for the first time, looking fragile within it.Savio shifted, his eyelids fluttering open. He looked at me first, his sharp gaze clouded with the haze of medication and exhaustion, and then his eyes drifted to the man sitting at my side. He didn't look surprised. He just looked tired."You came," my father rasped, his voice a ghost
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 183: Savio's Health
"Sera, don't scream, but your father is at the hospital."The world didn’t stop, but it tilted just enough to make me lose my footing. Rosa’s voice was too controlled, that razor-thin edge of calm that signalled a looming disaster. I didn’t ask for details. I didn't ask which wing. I was already moving toward the door, my car keys digging into my palm. Savio Montague was a force of nature, a man made of iron and cold ambition. He wasn't supposed to be breakable."What happened?" I asked, my voice sounding like it was coming from miles away."He collapsed. Just for a minute," Rosa said, her breath hitching. "It is not his heart, Sera. The doctors say it is a blood pressure situation. Manageable. He is being managed right now. He is fine, I promise you."I didn't believe her. I couldn't. I was in my car and halfway to the Montague estate before the call ended. Manageable was a word for spreadsheets and hostile takeovers. It wasn't a word for my father’s life.I was at the estate within
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 182: Priya's Promotion
"Sit down, Priya. We need to talk about the future of your department."I didn’t look up from the tablet in front of me until I heard the chair scrape against the floor. I had been staring at our internal team structure for the last hour, but I wasn't really reading names. I was looking at gaps. For two years, there had been a massive hole in our leadership, and for two years, one person had been filling it without the title, the pay, or the recognition. It was a debt I hadn’t even realized I owed until the fog of my own arrogance finally cleared.Priya sat across from me, her expression a perfect mask of professional readiness. She didn't look nervous. She shouldn't be. She’d been operating at an executive level since before the merger was even a reality. I saw it clearly now. Every crisis she’d diverted, every project she’d pushed through while I was busy fighting wars in the shadows. She had been the engine running in the background while I took all the credit for the speed."Is t
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 181: The Anniversary
"What do you want to do for our anniversary?"I looked up from my laptop, catching Sera as she walked through the living room. We were two weeks out from the date. A year. It felt like a lifetime had passed since we stood in that cold, hollow cathedral for a wedding that was nothing more than a merger. That anniversary belonged to the ghosts of who we used to be. This one was ours. This was for the thing we had built with our own hands.Sera paused, leaning against the doorframe. She didn't have to think about it for long. "Something we haven't done before.""What?" I asked, closing the screen. "Give me a category. Travel? A specific city? A private event?"She shook her head, a small, knowing smile playing on her lips. "You choose."I blinked. In our world, control was the only currency that mattered. We didn't just give it away. "You're allowing me to choose?""I'm allowing you to choose, and I trust your choice," she said. Her voice was steady, devoid of the sharp edges that used t
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 180: Terrible Pasta
"If you overcook the garlic one more time, Roman, I’m ordering pizza."I looked over my shoulder at Sera, who was perched on the kitchen counter with a glass of red wine in her hand. She looked entirely too smug for someone who wasn't doing any of the actual labor. I turned back to the pan, nudging the minced cloves with a wooden spoon. "I have it under control. The heat is medium-low. I’m building a flavor profile.""You’re building a fire hazard," Dante said from the doorway.He moved into the kitchen with his usual silent grace, his eyes scanning the scene with deep skepticism. He didn't look like a bodyguard tonight. He looked like a man who had finally found a reason to take his jacket off. Before I could defend my culinary honor, the doorbell rang."Are we expecting someone else?" I asked, frowning at the timer.Sera hopped off the counter. "I'll get it."A moment later, Felix walked in, holding two bottles of expensive wine and wearing a grin that meant trouble. He hadn't been
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 179: Dante's Life
"Are you ever actually off the clock, Dante?"The voice on the other end of the line was my brother’s, rough with sleep and three time zones away. I looked at the clock on my kitchen wall. 5:00 AM. Exactly. My internal rhythm didn’t care about weekends or vacations. It didn’t care that for the first time in a decade, I wasn’t waking up to a looming threat or a crisis in progress. My body was a machine built for surveillance and response, and old habits died harder than the men I’d spent my youth outrunning."I'm off right now, Leo," I said, my voice gravelly. "I’m making coffee.""It’s five in the morning. Go back to sleep.""Can't. There is too much to do.""You don't have anything to do. That's the point of a Saturday."I didn't argue. I just listened to him talk about his kids and his garage and the mundane details of a life lived in the light. We talked once a week, a bridge between the world I occupied and the one I’d helped him build far away from the Montague shadow. Once a mo
