Once His Wife, Now His Regret CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN
A laugh tore out of Flora—high-pitched. Nothing like the soft, calculated laughter I remembered from our past encounters. Paired with her face, it was pure horror.Why…why did she look like this?She lowered the concrete pipe slowly, still breathing hard, and stared down at Clyde’s motionless body. Her expression flickered between contempt and something almost like sorrow.“You are really insufferable,” she muttered. “After everything she did to you,” Flora continued, voice rising, “after everything she took from us—you still can’t let her go? You’re still clinging to her like a pathetic dog?” She spat on the floor near him. “How disgusting.”Then she turned to me.“And you…” Her lips curled. “You really are shameless, Charlotte. You ruined his life. You turned our daughter against us—now she won’t even look at me. You destroyed every chance we had of being together properly, of raising our child the way we deserved.” She tilted her head, studying me like a specimen. “Yet you still ma

I didn’t sleep a wink.I stayed curled in the far corner of the half-finished room, knees drawn tight to my chest, arms locked around them like a shield. Every time my eyelids grew heavy, I bit down hard on my lower lip until the sting yanked me back to alertness. Across from me, Clyde lay curled in the opposite corner, eyes closed, breathing slow and even as if he was asleep.But I know it. He wasn’t sleeping. He was watching. And even if he was, I still can’t even run away, because the door was locked with the key neatly tucked away in his body.But what I still couldn’t wrap my head around, was why he was doing all these to me.What did he stand to gain by dragging me away like this? I had no money, no influence, no name worth ransoming. I was already a fugitive. And love? I refused to believe that. Throughout our marriage, Clyde had made his feelings crystal clear. He hated me. Resented me for standing between him and Flora. He had never shown me a single shred of genuine affe

I looked into her eyes. My left hand curled into a fist beneath the table. My right hand tightened around the spoon so hard that I thought it might snap. The water dripped from the end of my chin and I did not move to wipe it away.“What? Are you angry? Did you want to hit me?” she asked with a sneer.But I didn’t react.I just looked at my food that was now filled with water. But I still needed to eat. So I dug my spoon inside my food and took my first bite.“Wow.”“No way.”“She’s actually eating it.”More laughter followed.“I can’t believe a billionaire heiress is eating prison slop mixed with dirty water.”The laughter grew louder.I ignored every word.“Hey.”She jabbed a finger into my chest.“Look at me.”I didn’t.“Aren’t you angry?”Another shove.“Don’t you want to hit me back?”She kept rambling as if she had wanted me to get angry and attacked her first but I refused to give in to that.“Fine, let's see how long you can last.”I took another spoon, not looking at her or a

The door opened, and I saw Lucy, offering me a light smile as I walked closer. But why did she even look much worse than me who was locked up? She looked like she had not slept properly, there were shadows beneath her eyes that her concealer had not fully covered, and she was holding her bag strap with both hands in the way she did when she was trying to appear calmer than she felt.I didn’t even know where I managed to get that strength that I used to return back the smile.“How are you holding up?” she asked, sitting down across from me and we looked at each other through the partition.“I’m fine.” I said, also taking my seat.She gave me the look that meant she knew I was lying but was choosing not to press it.I have been in here for days now as the court had refused bail. Twice. And the reasons given were legal and completely hollow — flight risk, the scale of the alleged financial crimes, the ongoing investigation, but underneath all of it, I could feel Ciara’s fingerprints

CHAPTERBy the time I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed. The first thing I saw was the white ceiling above me. For a moment, I simply stared at it, confused and then the memories came back and I felt a cold chill running down my spine.I had always heard people say that the public could be terrifying and now I just witnessed it first hand.“Charlotte, are you okay?”“Dear, how are you feeling now?”The voices came from both sides of my bed.I slowly turned my head. Lucy was sitting on one side and my aunt was sitting on the other. Both of them looked exhausted. Their eyes were full of worry, as though neither of them had rested since I was brought here.They kept asking questions but their voices were just fading to the back of my mind, my mind still repeating the scenes that happened earlier.I wrapped my arms around myself and tears almost flooded out of my eyes as I wondered what exactly did I really deserve to get all that from them.Was it really wrong that I was too forgi

My hands trembled as I stared at the documents held high above the crowd.I opened my mouth to speak, but my voice never had the chance to come out.“How could she do something like this?”“I can’t believe she abused her power.”Whispers spread through the crowd like a disease. They came from every direction, growing louder with every second. Some people pointed at me openly while others stared with disgust.I stood frozen.All this time, I had been wondering why Alicia approached me the way she did and did all what she did but now I had finally understood it all.From the beginning she had been scheming this. “Yes, that’s right. That’s the true face of Charlotte Sinclair.” The sharp voice cut through the crowd like a knife.I flinched as it felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over my head. And immediately, all eyes and camera turned to the person only for me to see Clyde’s mother and Diana standing right there and pointing accusing fingers at me.What…what are the

“Okay, so you’re Genevieve Wellington’s music teacher?” Gionee’s voice cut through my thoughts.I quickly composed myself, tucking a few loose strands of hair behind my ear before putting on a smile as I turned to him.“Yes, I am,” I replied.Then I turned to Genevieve and walked over to her. Crouc

***FLORA’S POV***I clenched my hands together, my nails digging into the back of my skin, my clothes clinging tightly to my body as the seat seemed to swallow me whole.How could this be possible?How… how did this happen?Genevieve’s voice began to crack right in the middle of a note. Her eyes da

***CLYDE’S POV****From my tablet, I watched the live feed as Charlotte moved across the room—one moment banging on the door, the next shouting at the cameras.I had to keep an eye on her. I knew she would do anything to escape, but I couldn’t allow her to keep ruining things for me just because of

“Clyde, what are you saying? I don’t even have feelings for you any longer.”“No, you do. And that’s why you’ve been sabotaging me all this entire time,” he went on. “Trying to ruin me.”Then he gave a few nods with an amusing smile. “I’ve been wondering why everything keeps going wrong,” he said,
