****CHARLOTTE’S POV****“Allow me to introduce myself properly,” I said, my voice calm and clear as I let my gaze sweep across the table, a polite smile resting on my lips. “My name is Charlotte Harper, one of the employees of Wellington Company, and also…” I let the words linger for a beat, “I am Clyde Wellington’s wife.”For a second, silence fell over the room. All eyes were fixed on me, but I simply held my smile.Then,“His wife?” Director Lesley asked in surprise, leaning forward as he broke the silence.I gave a small nod.And murmurs followed immediately, people turning to one another.Some were shocked—they recognized me as one of the employees. Others whispered, asking, “Is she the one from the party?”I just kept my smile in place, letting it all wash over me.“But you’re Harper, so how…?” one of the shareholders questioned, confusion evident in his voice.“But you are Harper, so how….” one of the shareholders asked.“Yes, that's right. But that was because my dear husband

***CLYDE’S POV***The car finally pulled to a stop in front of the Wellington Group headquarters. A line of staff stood neatly outside the entrance, greeting arriving shareholders and board members with smiles.The door opened, and I stepped out, adjusting my jacket as my shoes hit the pavement. The building loomed above me—glass, steel, and legacy. And today, it would all finally become mine.My secretary followed closely behind as we approached the entrance, but just before we crossed the threshold, I stopped.“You’ll stay here,” I said quietly, not turning around.He hesitated. “Sir?”I glanced at him over my shoulder. “Make sure no unwanted guests get inside.”He frowned slightly. “Unwanted guests… do you have someone specific in mind?”I let out a slow breath, irritation flickering beneath the surface. “Are you really this dense? Charlotte is still out there. And you know how she is.”His expression immediately changed. “Yes, sir.”“If she shows up and starts talking,” I continu

I suddenly felt arms slide around my waist, firm and possessive, and my body jolted before I could stop it—only for the tension to melt the second I realized it was him.A soft breath escaped me as I shook my head, almost at myself. Maybe it was because all of this still felt so foreign to me. Like I had stepped into someone else’s life.Because after getting married at 20…no man had ever touched me this way.And now Alex…Alex wrapped his grip tightly around me slightly, like he felt my thoughts slipping too far. His chin rested on my shoulder, warm and steady, while his piercing blue eyes locked onto mine through the mirror.“Did you like the dress?”“Hmm…” I set the dryer down slowly, my fingers lingering on the edge of the dresser as my teeth pressed into my lower lip. “It’s beautiful. Thank you.”“And.”I blinked at his reflection. “It’s exactly my taste.”“And?” he pressed again.My brows pulled together as my mind started racing. What else did he want?I’d never been given so
Once His Wife, Now His Regret CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX
***CHARLOTTE’S POV***The first thing I noticed as I woke was the warmth wrapped all around me, and the arm draped securely over my body.I had never had this amazing and comfortable sleep I just had, not in years. But right in his arms, I slept like a baby.My eyes fluttered open, still slightly blurry, but not enough to miss the heat brushing against my face. It was coming from Alexander’s broad chest which was just beneath my head. And for a moment, I just lay there, because I couldn’t believe that right now, I just spent a night wrapped in his brace.I slowly raised up my gaze and looked at him, and the sight of him stole the breath right out of me.He looked… peaceful. Softer than I had ever seen him. His face was calm, almost boyish, like a sleeping child. His chest rose and fell steadily beneath me, each breath slow and even.Is this how he always looks every morning? He looked so different from the man I knew when he was awake.I didn’t even know when my hand moved on its ow

Flora choked.“How dare you?!” I roared, my voice echoing through the house. “How dare you show your face here after everything you’ve done?!”“Cl…yde…” she gasped, her hands clawing at mine, trying to pry my fingers loose.“You should have disappeared,” I snarled. “You should have stayed gone. You should have never even thought of coming back here!”“I…I..I’m sorry. I…rea…”Her eyes began to roll back.The color drained from her face.The fight in her grip weakened, her hands slipping from my wrist as the air and life began to leave her.For a moment, I just watched. Not wanting to dirty my house, with a cold flick of my hand, I let her go.She collapsed to the ground, clutching her throat, gasping desperately for air.I closed my eyes and took a few slow breaths, forcing the rage down.Because if I didn’t…I might actually kill her.“Tell me,” I said coldly, opening my eyes. “What exactly should I do with you now?”Flora, still on the floor, clutching her throat, struggling to bre

***CLYDE’S POV***Every single thing within my reach became a target. I grabbed whatever I could and hurled it to the ground, the sharp crash of breaking objects echoing through the room.The amount of rage and humiliation burning through me was beyond description.My eye went to the portrait of Flora and me that was hanging on the bedroom wall and I stormed over to it, tore it down without hesitation and slammed it against the floor. Glass exploded outward, scattering in every direction.But that alone could not reduce the rage I was feeling. It didn’t even come close.So I stepped onto the shattered frame and began stomping on her face—hard, over and over, imagining it was really her beneath my feetThe door opened and Jake quickly rushed closer to me, grabbing me from behind, struggling to pull me away.“Sir, you have to calm down.”“Let go of me!” I roared, still trying to crush her face beneath my heel.Then his grip tightened on me and he finally managed to drag me off the b

But he also has some things he hasn’t told me yet. Maybe he’s a kind of person who doesn’t care about people’s past or…I let out a sigh.Whatever, I just need to tell him everything.The staircase was a wide, sweeping spiral that curved downward in a single graceful arc, the banister polished dark
