“She can’t be serious.”

“I believe she is.”

“Then tell her there’s absolutely no way she’s getting that.”

“I was planning to,” I sighed softly, letting a hint of disappointment color my voice. “But it’s a little difficult to walk away from a ten-billion-dollar investor.”

There was a pause.

“Ten billion what?”

“Yes, Clyde.” I let the number settle between us like a weight. “She’s putting in thirty billion.”

Silence.

“You’ve heard of Paul Sinclair, I assume?” I continued calmly. “She’s his legiti

  • Once His Wife, Now His Regret   CHAPTER FORTY THREE

    I turned. Toward where the voice just came from. Only to see her waking through the door, her arm wrapped around Alexa’s. A huge mixture of smug and smile on her face as she walked closer.And my hand tightened around my bag. Anger surging through me. Memories of years ago, flooding back.But despite everything, despite her smile, the way she walked, the way she carried herself… I could tell something never change in her. "Bitter?" One of our former classmates whose name was Sam, let out a short laugh. "Phina, building a company from scratch isn't as sways as you think. Not everyone can do it."Phina scoffed. "And what exactly do you even know about owning a company? It’s not as if your parents have one or you inherited one."“You…”"Yes, that’s right. Or am I lying?” Sam face flushed with humiliation and he angrily went back to his seat.And looking at Phina, I think she had done a background work on each of us, to know how we have been living all these years. She seems to be wel

    I scoffed.Disgraceful? A common street woman?Then what would we call his and Flora’s action?Another message came in,“But… after thinking about it, I realized few of your words are right. I have been totally unfair to you recently.”My brows lifted slightly, not in surprise, but in disbelief.Unfair?Was that the only thing he think it was?The word felt almost laughable.“I know you were drunk, but you said what was on your mind. So I’ve decided to make it up to you. I’ll start treating you better from now on.”I stared at the message over and over again. What’s wrong with him? Is he the same Clyde?“But for us to start over, you’ll have to do something for me. Because I’m still angry about the way you speak to me last night. It was rude. And uncultured. A well mannered wife should not speak to her husband like that! That alone is one of the major reason for divorce. But…I am some with a bigger heart.”Bigger heart?I let out a dry laugh.Fine let’s hear it. The real reason.

  • Once His Wife, Now His Regret   CHARTER FORTY ONE

    My mind drifted back to our high school days. Back to those mornings when it was just the two of us—each other’s only comfort. Every single day, we would linger for a few minutes outside the school gate, staring at the building as fear gnawed at us. And yet… we always went in. Only to face the same thing. The whispers. The mocking. The bullying. It all started with Lucy. Then I transferred to their school, and everything changed. I still remember the first time I saw them—Phina and Alaric. Rich, untouchable, and cruel. They had Lucy cornered with their lapdog, telling her to tell them how her room looked and how the orphanage food tasted. They mocked her. Pour some kind of perfume on her, claiming she reeks of some bad smell. Watching all that, I couldn’t hold it. So I didn’t even think. I just stepped in. Announcing to them all that there’s nothing wrong in growing up in an orphanage. That I also did. Many of them were shocked to hear that. They all think I had some c

    The morning sun slipped through, and I groaned, dragging a pillow over my face and pressing it down as if I could smother the light out of existence.Then I heard a familiar voice, "Good morning." Lucy.And I wondered what on earth was she doing here this early?"Why are you here so early," I muttered, face still buried in the pillow.But she gave a soft laugh as if I had just said something ridiculous. Well, there’s no harm in being here, but by this time…"Lottie.""Mm.""It's past noon."I froze.Then I yanked the pillow off my face and instantly regretted it as a sharp headache slammed into me as the light stabbed straight through my eyes. It felt like something inside my skull was trying to claw its way out. With a groan, I shoved the pillow back over my face, pressing it tight."I always knew you’re a bad drinker, but I didn’t realize you lose your memory afterwards. Is this something new?"Lose memory?What’s she talking about?I frowned beneath the pillow and then, slowly,

  • Once His Wife, Now His Regret   CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

    “What?! Thirty billion!”“Oh my goodness, is that really Sinclair heiress?!”“No way…I heard they are filthy rich but 30 billion dollars?!”Flora’s face drained of color. Her lips parted, but no words came out. Beneath her mask, her eyes stared at me in shock. While the murmuring around us kept growing louder;“I can’t believe she just did that to the heiress.”“Who does she think she is!”“The Sinclair family is the second most affluent family in the country, and now she’s offended her.”“The Wellington family’s good days are finally coming to an end.”Hearing all that only made Clyde more scared and his voice quickly turned cold and commanding.“Apologize.”Flora blinked, as if she had not heard him properly, her head snapping toward Clyde. “What?”“I said apologize to her right now,” Clyde repeated, his tone leaving no room for argument.Flora’s fingers clenched tightly at her sides.“Clyde’s, it’s me. Why will I apologize ....”“That doesn’t matter,” Clyde cut her off sharply. “You

  • Once His Wife, Now His Regret   CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

    There was a loud gasp in the room, followed by a wave of whispers. The news of Flora's announcement as Clyde's wife must be quite shocking.It’s not that the public wasn’t aware of his marriage in the first place, but rumours had painted me into many shapes—a famous actress, a noble lady, or a doctor from a powerful family. There was even a rumor that I might be the ex-president’s daughter, simply because his daughter had a secret marriage on the same day as ours.But no one could ever guess the truth. That his wife was just an ordinary worker in his company.And the Wellington family? They never once tried to correct it or release a public statement. After all, they would rather keep their perfect image than admit their daughter-in-law was just an orphan with no background.And now, his mistress stood here, proudly claiming that title all because throughout my marriage, I’d never made a public appearance.I almost laughed as I watched as Flora lifted her chin and basked in admira
