LAUREN'S POV

After holding me in a hug for almost five minutes, she finally let me go. My arms dropped slowly, the warmth of her embrace still lingering on my shoulders. It almost felt like she was trying to squeeze all the hesitation out of me until I had no choice but to give in. I exhaled softly and forced a small smile.

“Well, as long as we’re going together, I don’t think I’ll regret it,” I said, trying to convince both her and myself at the same time.

“Of course you wouldn’t,” she replied with her usual confidence, as if she already knew the ending of a story I hadn’t even agreed to live through yet. Then she clapped her hands lightly and turned toward the wardrobe with a sudden burst of energy. “Now, let’s get down to the main issue.”

I frowned and tilted my head. “Which is?” I asked, following her steps as she crossed the room like a woman on a mission.

She glanced back at me like I had asked the most obvious question in the world. “Your outfit, obviously. I’m sure you do

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 064

    ROMAN'S POV “I thought you said you were not interested in bringing me to your bed?” she asked, her index finger trailing lazily down my chest. The touch was feather-light, yet it carried a weight that pressed against every nerve in my body. My throat felt dry as I tried to gather my words. “I brought you here to help you,” I said, keeping my voice even though I could feel the heat creeping up the back of my neck. She tilted her head, her lips curling into a teasing smirk. “So now that you’ve helped me, now what?” I inhaled slowly, steadying myself. “Well, you obviously can’t go back down there for now. At least not until the alcohol fully leaves your system. You can rest here.” She sighed dramatically, tossing herself back against the pillows before leaning toward me again. “That’s too boring. When I’m finally in the mood for some fun, you turn into a buzzkill.” I exhaled a short laugh, though inside, I was anything but relaxed. She doesn’t mean that. This isn’t her. The alcoh

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 063

    ROMAN'S POV “Me? Drunk? You must be mistaken,” she slurred, her words dragging as she pushed herself up to her feet. For a second, I thought she might actually hold steady, but the next moment she staggered sideways, nearly tumbling into the chair she had just risen from. “I feel alive!” she suddenly screamed, throwing both arms wide open as if the entire world was watching her performance. Heads turned, curious stares flicking in our direction, but she didn’t care. She looked reckless, wild, and completely unbothered by who might judge her. I couldn’t help the smile tugging at my lips as I watched her. It was strange, I’d only known her for a few minutes, yet in this short span of time, she had managed to display a more raw personality than most women I’d encountered in my life. She wasn’t pretending, she wasn’t playing a role to impress anyone; she was just being herself, drunk or not. Now I understood why she had been so hesitant earlier, why she had insisted she didn’t want to

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 062

    ROMAN’S POV A few minutes ago, I was trying to escape the clingy grip of a girl I barely knew. She had latched onto me the moment I stepped through the entrance of the club, acting like we had been close for years. In reality, I had only exchanged a couple of words with her outside before walking in. Since then, she had been glued to my side, laughing too loudly, brushing against me every chance she got, and making it painfully clear what she wanted. Money and sex. That was all. Nothing more, nothing less. It was the same old story, the same routine I had grown sick of. Everywhere I went, I met the same type of woman. Beautiful faces, perfect bodies, fake laughs. They didn’t care about who I was beyond the thickness of my wallet or what I could offer them in bed. They wanted status, expensive dinners, shopping sprees, and a night of bragging rights that they had been with Roman Hale. None of it felt real. None of it touched me in any meaningful way. But right now, sitting a few ste

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 061

    LAUREN'S POV “What’s not gonna work?” the guy asked, his tone casual, like he had no idea what I was accusing him of. For a second, I almost laughed at the audacity. Men like him always pretended to be clueless when caught in the act, like they hadn’t just been trying to slide their way into something they had no business asking for. But luckily for him, I had time tonight, too much time, honestly and I was more than ready to spell it out for him, word by word, if that’s what it would take to make him understand. If he wanted to play dumb, then I would treat him like a child. “You think I don’t know what you’re trying to do?” I shot back, my voice cold and sharp enough to cut glass. “You think a few smooth words will make me open my legs for you? Wrong move, Mr. Wrong Time. I didn’t even come here of my own will, and I sure as hell don’t plan on sleeping with you or anyone else. So why don’t you take those so-called charms and try them on another lady? I’m not the one.” His expres

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 060

    LAUREN'S POV Maybe I was just making a mistake. The thought circled in my head like the bass-heavy beat pulsing through the club speakers. This place was packed, after all. Out of all the men here, how could I be certain it was him? There were plenty of guys wearing red shirts tonight. Crimson, scarlet, maroon, some brighter, some darker. It was a popular color for a night out. My eyes kept darting around the room, catching glimpses of red fabric in every direction. And if I was being logical, the man I thought I saw earlier had bodyguards with him. I noticed them — men with sharp eyes and broad shoulders, the kind that didn’t belong to ordinary clubgoers. Yet this one, the man now standing so casually at the bar, seemed completely alone. Why would someone like him — someone important enough to be ushered into the special VIP lounge without hesitation suddenly abandon that luxurious privacy to stand here among the regular crowd? It didn’t make sense. I told myself to let it go, t

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 059

    LAUREN'S POV “Ok, so even if someone walked in there, why are you noticing it?” Tessa asked, her voice raised just enough to carry over the pounding bass that shook the floor beneath us. The music thumped so hard it vibrated in my chest, yet my eyes were locked on the polished black door of the VIP lounge, the one that had just closed behind the stranger. “You didn’t see what he did?” I shot back, still half glaring in that direction. “While we were walking, he bumped into me hard and couldn’t even say a single apology.” Tessa tilted her head, her long curls bouncing as she gave me that familiar look that said Lauren, you’re overthinking again. “Didn’t you see where he walked into? That wasn’t just any door. That was the VIP lounge, babe. Do you know how impossible it is for normal people like us to even breathe in that section? For him to walk in there so casually, it means he’s part of the big boys. And those guys?” She scoffed, tugging at her dress strap with a roll of her eyes.
