Ethan's POV

I stood in the driveway long after the SUVs disappeared around the corner, staring at the empty street as if Adriana might suddenly change her mind and come back. The scattered hundred dollar bills blew across the pavement in the breeze, but I did not move to pick them up anymore.

"Ethan!" My mom's shrill voice cut through my thoughts. "Are you just going to stand there? Your wife just left with another man!"

I turned slowly to look at her, and she was practically vibrating with rage on the porch. Her face was red and her hands were clenched into fists at her sides.

"She chose him over you!" She continued, her voice rising even higher. "She chose money over her marriage! That whore chose a rich lover over her own husband!"

"Stop calling her that," I said tiredly.

"Why should I?" She marched down the porch steps toward me. "That's what she is! A gold-digging whore who was using you this whole time!"

I looked down at the money still scattered around my feet. Ten thousand dol

  • My Hockey Star Ex-husband's Regret   019: Departure

    Ethan's POVThe three SUVs came intomy driveway like something out of a movie, all black and gleaming in the afternoon sun. The men who stepped out moved with precision, their suits perfectly tailored and their movements coordinated. They looked like professionals, the kind of security that only serious money could afford.I stood frozen on the porch with hundred dollar bills still stuffed in my pockets, watching as the back door of the middle SUV opened.Nicholas Montgomery stepped out and my stomach dropped when I recognized him immediately. It was the same man from the photos Vivienne showed me, the one Adriana claimed was her brother. He wore an expensive looking gray suit, and his dark hair was styled perfectly. Everything about him screamed wealth and power.He did not even glance at me as he walked straight to Adriana with his arms opening wide. How could Adriana know someone so rich and popular?"Addie," he said warmly, and then he pulled her into a tight hug.Adriana melted i

  • My Hockey Star Ex-husband's Regret   018: Ego in the mud

    Adriana's POVI made it down three steps before I heard the door open again behind me."Adriana! Wait!"Ethan's footsteps pounded down the stairs, and I stopped but did not turn around. My suitcase rolled to a stop beside me on the porch steps."Please, just stop for a second," he called out, his voice was now softer and almost pleading.I heard him come up behind me, slightly out of breath from running after me."Look, I'm sorry," he said. "What I said up there, I didn't mean it.""Yes, you did," I said quietly."No, I was angry and I said things I shouldn't have." He moved around to face me, blocking my path down the stairs. "But we can work through this and fix things."I looked at him then, at the man I loved for six years, at the man whose child I just lost, at the man who chose someone else over me again and again."There's nothing to fix," I said."Don't say that." He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet, then held out a thick bundle of cash with hundred dollar bil

  • My Hockey Star Ex-husband's Regret   017: She now has guts

    Ethan's POVI grabbed Adriana's hand and my fingers wrapped tight around her wrist. "Answer me! What did you do to my mother?"She pulled away hard, breaking my grip. "The next time you or your mother touch me, I'm calling the police. I'll have both of you arrested for assault.""Assault?" I stared at her in disbelief. "You're the one who hurt her!""She tried to hit me," Adriana said, her voice cold and steady. "I stopped her. That's all.""That's not what happened!" Mom cried from the couch. Vivienne sat beside her now, holding her hand and looking at me with concerned eyes. "She attacked me for no reason!""I don't have time for this," Adriana said, turning toward the door again.That was when I noticed the suitcase in her hand. The old, beat-up thing she brought when she moved in."You're still serious about this?" I asked, my voice rising. "You're really leaving?""Yes." She did not even look at me when she said it."Adriana, you're being emotional," I said, trying to sound calm

  • My Hockey Star Ex-husband's Regret   016: Final stand

    Adriana's POVVictoria's demand that I make lunch was the last straw.I turned away from the door and looked at her. This woman who treated me like a servant for three years. Who criticized every meal I cooked, complained about how I cleaned the house, how I did the laundry, how I existed in her son's space."No," I said clearly.Victoria's mouth fell open. "What did you say?""I said no." I set down my suitcase. "I'm not making lunch. I'm not making breakfast or dinner either. I'm done being your personal cook and maid.""But that's your job!" Victoria's face turned red. "You're the wife. You're supposed to take care of the house.""I'm divorcing Ethan," I said, my voice steady and calm. "Which means I'm no longer yours to command. You have no power over me anymore.""I'm his mother!" Victoria shrieked. "I have every right to expect basic courtesy in my son's home! And I will not grant you any divorce.""This stopped being courtesy years ago," I said. "You turned me into your servant

  • My Hockey Star Ex-husband's Regret   Chapter 015: Packing up

    Victoria's POVI could not believe the nerve of this woman. Adriana came home and started packing like she actually had somewhere better to go. Like she was somebody and she had options.She pulled clothes from the closet and folded them neatly into that pathetic old suitcase. The same cheap thing she brought when she moved in with my son six years ago. Nothing about her had improved since then."What do you think you're doing?" I asked from the doorway.She did not even look at me and just kept folding. "I'm leaving.""Leaving?" I stepped into the bedroom and crossed my arms. "You can't just leave. This is Ethan's house.""I'm aware." Her voice was flat and uninterested."Then you're aware that you have no right to take anything from here." I moved closer to the bed. "Everything in this house belongs to my son. He paid for all of it.""I'm only taking my clothes," she said."Even those clothes were bought with Ethan's money," I pointed out. "You never contributed a single dollar to t
