"How is this possible?” I bellowed out, stunned by what I was hearing. “She cut the price in half and kicked us out of the game entirely! With Owen’s help, of all people?"

I slammed my fist onto the mahogany desk, the sound echoing through my silent office. The Apex Med project, the deal that was supposed to secure my legacy, had vanished into thin air. Evelyn hadn't just beaten me; she had humiliated me.

  • Regret Losing His Billionaire Ex-Wife   Chapter 19

    Ryan’s POVThe house was silent when I walked in, save for the hum of the climate control. Daphne wasn't home. Again.I checked my phone. My security detail had already sent the update: she was at The Velvet Room, a high-end club downtown. I knew she was just dancing and drinking with her socialite friends. I had eyes on her at all times, but I still hated it. A Harrington wife shouldn't be spending four nights a week in a smoke-filled VIP lounge.Losing the baby changed everything. I couldn’t help but sympathize with her. If the club was the only place she felt like herself again, I wasn’t going to ruin it for her. But that didn’t mean I’m okay with it. Every time she went, I was on edge.I set the small paper plate on the marble kitchen island. The cupcake was a bit squashed now, and the black icing that spelled out "FOR MY FRIEND" had smeared slightly. I stared at it for a long time. My heart felt heavy, a strange sensation I hadn't felt in years. Ivy’s bright smile kept flashing i

    Ryan’s POV"Sir, I’m sorry. We couldn't get it."Jim stood in front of my desk. "Every time we got close to the girl’s water bottle or a stray hair, her security team was there. It’s like Evelyn anticipated our every move. They even had the table where they sat professionally."I leaned back, tapping a pen against my chin. I wasn't even angry. In fact, I felt a strange flicker of respect. The Evelyn I used to know couldn't have planned a grocery list without getting flustered. But this new Evelyn? She wasn't a meek housewife anymore. "It's fine, Jim," I said.Mark stepped into the office as Jim left, dropping a stack of financial reports on my desk. "The market is bleeding, Ryan. The Apex Med failure cost us a four percent drop in stock value this morning. We need a win. We need to focus on the next merger, not a ghost hunt.""I know," I said, my voice low. "But before we move on the next deal, I need you to do one thing. Find me her home address."Mark froze. He looked at me like I

    Evelyn’s POV"Mommy, are you mad at the Movie Star?"Ivy’s small voice broke the silence in the back of the limousine. She was looking at me with those eyes—eyes that looked so much like his it made my heart ache. I realized I’d been staring out the window for miles, my jaw tight and my hands clenched in my lap.Forcing a smile, I smoothed her hair. "No, baby. Mommy’s just a little tired. Why do you ask?""You looked scary when you were talking to him," Ivy whispered, leaning her head against my shoulder. "But he’s a nice man. He helped me find your gift, remember? What’s his real name? Do you know it?"I hesitated. I didn't even want to say his name out loud. It felt like a curse. "His name is Ryan.""Ryan," Ivy repeated, testing the sound of it. "I like it. Is he your friend, Mommy? Did you know him a long time ago? You must know him since you were talking to him for so long."My heart gave a painful tug. Friend? We were two stars in the middle of a supernova, destined to destroy ea

  • Regret Losing His Billionaire Ex-Wife   Chapter 16

    Evelyn’s POVWe stood in silence. My heart was thundering against my ribs. Of all the people in this crowded, glittering city, why did it have to be him? Ivy had spent weeks talking about her "Movie Star", the kind gentleman who helped her, the handsome man who was "so nice."Ryan Harrington. A good man? The words didn't even belong in the same sentence."Mommy? You’re squeezing my hand too hard," Ivy whispered, her voice laced with confusion.I snapped back to reality, realizing my knuckles were white from gripping her tiny hand. I hadn't realized I was trembling. "I’m so sorry, baby. Mommy just got a little distracted. Are you okay?"Ivy rubbed her hand and shook her head. Then she looked back at Ryan with that bright, innocent smile. My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. I couldn't let him look at her any longer. Every second his eyes lingered on her face, I felt like he was stealing a piece of our secret."We’re going to the garden, Ivy," I said, my voice tight.I

  • Regret Losing His Billionaire Ex-Wife   Chapter 15

    Evelyn's POVThe gold-embossed Harrington crest on the invitation shimmered under the afternoon sun. I ran my finger over the raised ink. I wasn't surprised when the courier delivered it. Lucian Harrington was a predator, but a brilliant one. He knew that after I had crushed Ryan’s bid for Apex Med, I was no longer a "placeholder" to be ignored, I was a force to be reckoned with.To Lucian, sentiment was a weakness. Profit was the only language he spoke. If he couldn’t beat me, he would try to swallow me into the Harrington fold.I remembered how it used to be. For years, I had lived in that mansion as Ryan’s wife, yet I was never allowed at these gala events. Ryan would leave me at home in the dark, claiming these circles were "too complex" for a girl like me. In reality, he was ashamed. He didn't want the world to see the "charity case" he had married."Mommy, do I look like a lady?"Ivy’s voice pulled me out of the bitter past. She stood in front of the full-length mirror, wearing

Evelyn hadn't just beaten me; she had humiliated me.Mark stood by the window, his face grim as he scrolled through his tablet. "It’s worse than we thought, Ryan. We were blindsided. No one expected Owen to be pathetic enough to crawl to your ex-wife. He leaked our internal valuation and our maximum bid."I felt a vein pulse in my temple. My own half-brother had sabotaged the family business. "Owen’s a fool. He thought he was using her, didn't he? But it was actually the other way around.""You hit the nail right on the head," Mark sighed. "Owen thought he had a 'partnership' with Evelyn. He thought if he helped her win, she’d split th

    Evelyn’s POVThe smell of pancakes and sizzling bacon wafted through the air, pulling me from sleep. I walked downstairs to find Ivy already at the dining table, her little cheeks stuffed with food. She looked like a happy squirrel."Morning, Mommy!" Ivy chirped, her eyes bright. "Mila’s pancakes a

    Ryan’s POVI rubbed my temples, the glow of the computer screen burning my tired eyes. The acquisition of Apex Med was supposed to be a done deal. For eighteen months, I had cleared every hurdle, and out-maneuvered every local competitor.But then, out of nowhere, a shadow had fallen over the deal.

    Evelyn's POV I stood there, hand extended, watching the color drain from Ryan’s face.Eight years. I’d spent hundreds, if not thousands of nights imagining this very moment. I thought I would be angry. Emotional. I thought my hands would shake with the urge to scream at him for the child he tried

    Ryan’s POV"Are you out of your mind? Everyone is watching!" Mark hissed into my ear, his grip on my shoulder tight as he practically dragged me away from the curb. "That’s your ex-wife, Ryan. Think about the headlines tomorrow!"I didn't fight him. I let him lead me to the car, my body moving on a
