# Chapter 39: The Call to Savio

Savio answered on the second ring.

"Mr. Ashford." No surprise in it. The voice of a man who had been expecting a call from Roman at some point and had simply been waiting to find out when.

"I have information that concerns your family," Roman said. "I need twenty minutes."

"You have them," Savio said. "Go ahead."

Roman went through it in the order Lars had presented it. The audit. The messages. Isabella's contact in Aldric's network and the six months of communic

    Chapter 200: The Last Entry"You're up early," Roman murmured, his voice a low, sleep-roughened vibration that still made my skin tingle.I didn't answer him right away. I just watched the city lights through our bedroom window, the dawn starting to bleed over the horizon. I’d woken before him, as I always did. It was the only time of day when the world felt quiet enough for me to hear my own thoughts.I slid out from the expensive silk sheets and made my way to the kitchen. My bare feet didn't make a sound on the marble floors. I moved with a confidence I hadn't possessed a year ago. I knew where everything was. The beans, the grinder, and the specific French press that Roman insisted made the only drinkable cup of coffee in the tri-state area.I stood at the kitchen window, watching the steam curl from my mug. It was a Tuesday. An ordinary Tuesday. Below me, the city was waking up, people rushing to jobs they probably hated and apartments they could barely afford.I leaned my head a

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 199: What They Built

    "The offer is non-negotiable."I leaned back in the leather chair of the Montague Industries boardroom, my gaze fixed on the man across from me. He was older, seasoned, and used to intimidating people with his silence. I wasn't a person. I was a Montague, and I had spent the last few years building a version of myself that didn't flinch. I let the silence stretch, the weight of the negotiation pressing into the room until he finally blinked. He signed. I stood up, smoothed my skirt, and walked out.Across the city, at Ashford Global, Roman was likely doing the same. It was a Tuesday, ordinary, busy, and full of the high-stakes chess we both played for a living.My phone buzzed in my bag. I pulled it out as I reached my office.*Roman: Don’t forget the good olive oil. I’m attempting the pasta again.**Sera: I’ll bring it. And a backup plan for dinner.**Roman: Have a little faith, Sera.**Sera: I have exactly as much faith as your last attempt earned. See you at six.*I put the phone

    "What do you want for your birthday?"I looked up from my tablet, my fingers stalling on a spreadsheet. Roman was leaning against the doorframe of my home office, his expression unreadable but his focus entirely on me. It was a month before the day, exactly the kind of lead time a man like Roman Ashford used to plan a military invasion or a billion-dollar acquisition."You're asking me," I said, leaning back in my chair."Every time," he answered. There was no hesitation in his voice. No suggestion that he would go behind my back and plan some sprawling, over-the-top gala that served his ego more than my comfort. He wasn't the man who made assumptions anymore."Good," I said, a small smile tugging at my lips.I told him. I didn't hold back, and I didn't play games. I told him I didn't want a ballroom or a press release. I didn't want five hundred strangers drinking expensive champagne while I smiled until my face ached. I wanted my people. I wanted the specific flowers that made our

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 197: The Receipt

    "Are you ever going to empty those boxes, or are they just part of the decor now?"I didn't answer the voice in my head, Sera’s voice, which had become the permanent soundtrack to my life. I stood in the storage room of the old penthouse, surrounded by the ghosts of a man I barely recognized anymore. The air was thick with the scent of dust and stale air. I’d been avoiding this room for months. Every other part of my transition into our new life was complete, but these last few boxes felt like a weight I wasn't ready to shift.I reached for the nearest crate, the cardboard rough under my palms. This was the final stretch. I hauled it into the center of the room, the sound of the drag echoing against the bare walls. I popped the tape. Inside were documents, old contracts from the Ashford merger, bank statements from years that felt like decades ago. Paperwork that used to be the only thing I lived for.I dug deeper, past the cold, hard facts of my business empire. At the very bottom,

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 196: The Question Savio Asked

    "Sera. I want to ask you something."My father stopped walking, his hand resting lightly on the sun-warmed stone of the garden wall. It was Sunday at the estate, the kind of morning where the air felt thick with the scent of blooming jasmine and damp earth. Savio is fully recovered now. He moved with the same steady, mountain-like strength he’d had before the world tried to break him. We were alone, just the two of us, pacing the gravel paths that wound through the roses.I stopped beside him, adjusting the sleeve of my sweater. "Ask."He didn't look at me at first. He looked out over the hedges, his profile sharp against the morning light. "Are you happy in the way your mother was happy?" He paused, his voice dropping into a register that was purely personal. "The complete kind."I stopped walking entirely. The gravel crunched once under my heel and then went silent.The complete kind.I knew exactly what he meant. I thought about what that looked like growing up. I thought about m

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 195: Rosa's Flowers

    "You're home early."The words weren't mine. They came from the kitchen, deep and familiar, but I didn't answer right away. I was frozen in the entryway of our apartment, my keys still heavy in my hand. My gaze was locked on the dining table. There, sitting in a crystal vase I’d bought myself three months ago, was an arrangement of flowers.They weren't the flowers a man usually buys when he’s trying to be charming. There were no generic red roses, no supermarket lilies, and no flashy orchids designed to scream for attention. They were muted, textured, and wild. They were the specific, obscure stems I’d spent the last year sourcing from a tiny boutique on the edge of the city. They were the ones I bought for myself every Sunday morning as a ritual of my own independence.I didn't move. I just looked at them. The scent hit me, earthy and sharp, exactly the way I liked it. For a long time, my independence was a fortress I’d built to keep the world out, especially Roman. Buying my own
