Chapter 4

Penulis: Night Night
When I finally woke up again, the first thing I saw was a man, his brow furrowed in frustration.

As soon as I met his gaze, I immediately closed my eyes, pretending I hadn't seen him.

Irritated, he muttered, "You were willing to sever ties with Mom and Dad just to get out of the arranged marriage. Now you're scared?"

My brother, Titus Barlow, slapped my head in frustration, clearly upset.

I thought back to five years ago when I foolishly rebelled against my parents, even cutting off ties with them.

Now, here I was, battered and bruised, left with nothing but regret. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the weight of it all.

Seeing me cry, Titus, who had been visibly angry moments ago, suddenly panicked.

"Wait, you're really crying? When I got your text yesterday, I rushed back. Who hurt you? Tell me, I'll make them pay!

"Mom and Dad are downstairs. It's been five years. They've really missed you."

As I cried uncontrollably, the door to the room opened.

  • Regret Me Not   Chapter 8

    The police moved in and quickly subdued the struggling Graham. "What are you doing?!" Graham was caught completely off guard by the sudden turn of events. "Do you have any idea who I am?! How dare you touch me!" His cocky attitude, as usual, was completely misplaced in this situation. The officer holding him pulled out an arrest warrant. "Graham Pearson, you're under arrest for tax evasion." Though it was no secret that most companies had shady tax dealings, Graham's company, Pearson Media, was too big to let such things slip. In fact, Graham had always prided himself on his ability to cover it all up. In the moment Graham looked dazed, I spoke up once again. "You're all out of chances, Graham." Seeing the smirk on my face, Graham shouted in disbelief, "It was you! You reported me, didn't you?!" For all the years Graham had spent pining over another woman, he had never seen me as a threat. Maybe he had never taken me seriously, and because of that, he had let hi

  • Regret Me Not   Chapter 7

    As soon as I noticed someone had recognized me, I didn't shy away. I let out a light, almost amused laugh and nodded. "Yes, I'm Graham's wife, but not for long."The instant those words left my mouth, the reporters in the hall moved like clockwork, microphones raised high. One of them asked sharply, "Ms. Barlow, we heard you were kidnapped recently. Is your separation from Mr. Pearson related to Ms. Hum?"I didn't flinch at the question, answering with a steady tone, "Yes and no. At first, maybe Cassidy didn't know about my marriage to Graham. But after I confronted her, she didn't feel any shame and even threatened me with my own son!"As I spoke, I projected onto the big screen the medical report Graham had bribed the hospital to fake. "Graham personally handed my son over to Cassidy. He did it just to please her!"The bombshell I dropped sent ripples through the crowd. The look in everyone's eyes as they turned to Graham quickly turned to disdain.Graham must've known that if t

  • Regret Me Not   Chapter 6

    After hearing that Graham had left the baby at the hospital under special care, I managed to take him away, thanks to Titus's connections. With a subtle nod from me, everyone at the hospital kept Graham in the dark about it. Once that was taken care of, my parents threw a grand dinner party in a belated celebration of my son's birth, inviting all sorts of prominent figures and socialites. Graham was, of course, among the guests. And because of my careful planning, Cassidy—who otherwise wouldn't have made the cut—also received an invitation. It was easy to latch onto the powerful in events like this. Despite all the recent drama surrounding her, Cassidy still showed up to the event in a glamorous outfit, hoping to make connections. But what she didn't expect was to run into me in the event hall. The moment she saw me, her eyes flashed with barely contained fury. Through gritted teeth, she spat, "Whitney? What are you doing here? Are you working as a waitress? I guess you rea

  • Regret Me Not   Chapter 5

    As rumors continued to swirl, Graham's calls came in one after another, relentless and persistent. Each time, the phone call ended with an automatic hang-up. He couldn't help but think about the gossip online, and it seemed like Graham finally reached his breaking point. [Whitney, pick up the phone!] he demanded. [Where are you right now? That thing with the fan was just a misunderstanding! Cassidy wants to apologize to you in person. Don't be so ungrateful![I know I said some harsh things before. When I gave the child to Cassidy, I thought you and I would be together for the rest of our lives. Stop causing trouble and just come back! [I've already brought our son home. If you come back, the three of us can live happily together, okay?]My greatest concern had always been for my son. But now that Graham was personally taking care of him, I knew Cassidy wouldn't dare to continue drugging the child under his nose. While Graham continued his attempts to contact me, he a

    A sudden force yanked me away, followed by the sharp crack of a slap. I pressed my hand to the split in my lip where Graham's slap had struck, my eyes locked on him as he tenderly cradled Cassidy, who had lost consciousness.There was no guilt in his eyes for being caught cheating, no remorse for deceiving me. Instead, all I saw in him was anger—anger at me for hurting Cassidy. His glare felt colder than any accusation, as though the sweet kiss he had given me the night before was nothing more than a cruel illusion."How dare you hurt Cassidy! Even I have never dared to hurt her!"I must've spoiled you too much over the years. It seems you've forgotten your place!"I could hardly believe my ears. I stared at him, a sense of helplessness sinking deep into my chest as my voice trembled. "I've forgotten my place? Graham, I'm your wife! And you took my son away and gave him to her! What do you think of me, huh?" I asked, desperate for an answer.Seeing that the truth had come to lig
