Chloe’s POV

“Morning,” Ryan said. His voice was calm, almost quiet. “You look like you didn’t sleep much.”

I raised an eyebrow, blinking twice. He was being nice two times a row?. “Is it that obvious?”

He nodded, “a little.” Then took it to himself to quickly head out before I could even utter another word. When he came back, he was holding two paper cups. “I got coffee. Thought you might need one too.”

He set one down in front of me. The smell hit first — strong and bitter with no milk? Clearl

  • My Ex Husband's Regret    He’s Very Stubborn

    Chloe’s POVElla turned to him, surprised. “Derek—”“I said the deal is off,” he repeated, still watching me. “She’s not handling it. No one from that company is. Ella, you didn't tell me that's why you've brought me here.”My mouth opened, then closed. Heat rushed up my neck, part shock, part anger. He turned to me, snapping. “You heard me, Cara Mia. It's not happening.”He said Cara Mia in public! But that didn't even give me much concern compared to the fact that he said the deal was off!The table went quiet. Ryan stayed still beside me. Ella looked between her brother and me like she had missed an entire conversation.I forced myself to hold Derek’s gaze even though my heartbeat was rising too fast. I was still trying to process the words.The deal is off? Just like that, before it has even begun?“Um…” I brought myself to speak. “If this is about um, the last time, we take full responsibility!”Ryan flashed me a warning glare, looking disappointed in me. What had I said wrong? H

    Chloe’s POV“Morning,” Ryan said. His voice was calm, almost quiet. “You look like you didn’t sleep much.”I raised an eyebrow, blinking twice. He was being nice two times a row?. “Is it that obvious?”He nodded, “a little.” Then took it to himself to quickly head out before I could even utter another word. When he came back, he was holding two paper cups. “I got coffee. Thought you might need one too.”He set one down in front of me. The smell hit first — strong and bitter with no milk? Clearly I was sure there was no sugar there too. For me? Clearly he didn't know about my secret obsession for sugary things. I forced a smile. “Thanks. That's…very nice of you.”He gave a tiny shrug and sat back down, already opening his laptop like it was no big deal.I waited until he looked away, then quietly poured half the coffee into the plant behind my desk when no one was watching. The rest went into the trash under a crumpled napkin. I wasn’t going to reject the only person in this office wh

  • My Ex Husband's Regret    Incoming Phone Call

    Chloe’s POVI stood still, staring at him with possibly fire residing in my eyes. For a second I didn't care anymore if it would show on my face. “What nonsense are you saying?” I forced my jaw to losen. “Why won't I use my medicine?”Three years of hoping for a baby they made sure I would never have.I forced my breathing to slow, and for my shoulders to drop. The rage was slowly melting from my eyes. It was working…Then he mentioned her name, causing my insides to form a hard knot all over again. “Naomi told you that?” He raised an eyebrow like the question was strange. “Chloe, your best friend has been worried about you. It's so obvious you're stressing yourself lately, especially with you taking up this job right now. Just resign, let me handle the company, hmm?”My best friend. How fucked up was that! When I heard Ryan lived in the richest estate in town, I wanted to rush and call Naomi, sharing the news with her. When I fucked the richest man in town!...She was my best frien

  • My Ex Husband's Regret    Your Medicine.

    Chloe's POV I walked back to my office on shaky legs, still aching between my thighs. Every step reminded me of Derek’s fingers. The way he curled them inside me. The way he stopped to licked them clean and told me to get out. My cheeks burned all over again.Damn it, I hated him!I dropped into my chair and forced myself to breathe.A guy at the desk next to mine looked up as I dropped my bag. He wore thin black glasses, neat dark hair, and a plain white shirt. At first glance he looked cold, almost distant, but when he spoke there was a quiet charm underneath. The cute guy I'd met in the elevator. “You must be the new Chloe,” he said. “Ryan. Research and client follow-ups.”I forced a small nod. “Yeah. Nice to meet you.” Oh so he was bring friendly to me now?I hadn’t even opened my laptop when Conor’s door swung open. He stepped out in that sharp suit of his, smiling the same empty smile he always wore. “Chloe. My office, right now.”Look at him commanding like he was really a bo

  • My Ex Husband's Regret    Leave Me Hanging.

    Chloe's POV I ran after Nathan and he didn't stop until he was already in his office. He sank to his seat and began scrolling through his phone like nothing in the world could touch him.“We need to talk,” I said, keeping my voice even. “Come on, Nathan. Listen to me!”He didn’t look up. “About what?”“Derek Sinclair.”That made him freeze. His eyes narrowed as he finally lifted his head. “What about him?”I stepped closer, folding my arms. “You can't just ignore him like that. Damn it, Nathan! Everyone saw what happened. We need him, let me handle this. If you keep pretending he’s just noise, he’s going to bury us. Publicly.”Nathan’s jaw tightened. “I don’t need you telling me how to handle Sinclair. And let you handle it? Jeez! Did you even hear the way he was talking about you? Like you were some cheap whore.”I cut him off right there. “No, you do not get to call me that, Nathan.” He dared to call me a whore!? After he was fucking my own best friend behind my back?? I could not

  • My Ex Husband's Regret    Kicking Me Out?

    Derek's POV I was used to people staring at me obviously like this, pointing fingers at me and blushing shamelessly. “I'll wait, honey.” I said to the receptionist, flashing my charming grin to her. “Yes ma. I mean, yes sir!” She blinked, her cheeks bright from her blushes. Then I saw him. He was next to her, the same woman who was there the day he ruined it all for my family. I shouldn't hate her, but I'd transferred my aggression towards her too for what he'd done. He smiled, holding her hands as they walked towards the entrance together. Nathan paused and stopped, staring at me over and over again. “Isn't that Derek Sinclair?” He muttered to the lady beside him and her eyes widened. She ran over towards me, “Derek Sinclair! Please, could I take a picture with you??” She had already held out her phone, passing it to Nathan. “Just one. Please. This has to go to my fans!”Did they really not remember me? I stood tall, frowning slightly. “No.” She did not believe her eyes. “Sorr
