Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret Is he Jealous?
—SAMANTHA— The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the cream-colored curtains, casting a golden ray across the floor. I blinked a few times, adjusting to the light, and then slowly sat up on the bed. For the first time in weeks—maybe even months—I had slept without crying myself into dreams or waking up with a heavy chest.I felt… lighter.Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I glanced around the bedroom Dalton had arranged for me. Everything was white—clean, fresh, and calm. A queen-sized bed rested in the middle with soft linen sheets. There was a small reading table in the corner with books already stacked neatly on it, and a lovely dressing vanity beside the tall window. The walls had a delicate pattern, something feminine and simple. It felt like a bedroom meant to give warmth. There was even a walk-in closet. And the bathroom? Refined, just like the rest of the mansion. I stretched out my limbs before heading into the bathroom to my business. After brush

—SAMANTHA—I watched Zeke and Ophelia enter the car just across from us. They were kissing so openly like no one was watching, like they had no care in the world. They looked so happy. So in love.Why is life so unfair?These two people ruined me. They even destroyed my sister’s life! But here they were: free, laughing, loving each other like nothing ever happened. No punishment. No regret.One day… I’ll rise. One day, I’ll make them both pay for everything they did! “Samantha.” Dalton’s deep voice snapped me out of my thoughts.“What?!” I sharply turned my neck and glared at him. But that’s when I realized my hand was on his leg, holding onto him tightly. Too tightly.I pulled my hand back quickly and gasped when I saw blood on my fingertips. My eyes widened as I looked down and saw that I had scratched him. My nails had dug into his skin while I was lost in my anger.“S-sorry,” I shuttered, panic rising in my chest. “I didn’t mean to—”I moved my hand to check the wound, but befo

—SAMANTHA—The moment the butlar mentioned -Miss Jessica, everyone went silent. Even Douglas, who had been cowering earlier, suddenly smirked, puffing his chest like an old lion. Sitting down in his seat, he cast a sneering look at me but his words were directed at Dalton full of mock taunt, “Let’s see what happens now that she's here...”I had no idea who Jessica was. But I didn’t need to ask. The weight in the air said it all. Then I heard it, a sharp crack of knuckles. My body tensed whe I realized it was Dalton. His sinfully handsome face was calm, but his hands were clenched so tight his bones were popping. He was holding himself back, and it scared me a little. Mrs. Bellamy suddenly stood up, her lips pressed into a thin line. "I will go play with my granddaughter in the garden," she said stiffly. Within two seconds, I could already tell she didn’t like Jessica. Not at all. I had never met this Miss Jessica everyone talked about. But ever since I came into Dalton’s life,

—SAMANTHA—It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured all over me.“You’re… engaged to her?” My voice came out low.I could barely hear myself. Dalton didn’t answer. He just looked up at Jessica, his face unreadable.“Yes, we are!” Jessica smiled proudly, lifting her hand and flashing a million-dollar diamond ring in my face. “You didn’t know?” I glanced at Dalton again and this time, I hated his silence. The back of my eyes burning. It wasn't out of heartbreak but from humiliation.Unspoken tension filled the air. I... I didn’t know what to do. My hands trembled a little, but I turned back to Jessica. This time my head lowered, feeling so embarrassed."I… I'm sorry, ma'am," I apologize softly, almost choking on my own voice. “I… I didn't know…” I added, my voice faltered for her a second. “He… he didn't tell me.” If I had known, I would have never sat beside Dalton so boldly. I would have stayed far away."Now you know! Move aside!" Henrietta snapped, standing up from beside

—SAMANTHA—For a few seconds, nobody answered Jessica’s question.The air remained thick, suffocating. I opened my mouth to speak, but Angela suddenly jumped up from her seat. She rushed to my side with a nervous laugh, pinching my arm hard in warning to stop me from speaking. "Oh, Jessica darling!” Angela faced Jessica with a sweet smile pretending like she didn't just hurt me. I winced painfully, rubbing the aching spot vigorously to numb the pain. "Ignore her," Angela said, waving her hand like I was some annoying fly. "She’s just a nobody from the countryside."Angela’s words felt like a slap across my face. She thought -I was going to tell Jessica who I was. I could see what she was doing, trying to cover up the truth about my identity, to protect Jessica from reality. "She’s my baby’s mother," Dalton's deep voice suddenly spoke.Silence. Absolute, deafening silence. "What?” Jessica froze. Her perfectly manicured hands gripped the armrest as she shot up fast from th

—SAMANTHA—We continued walking in silence, with me just behind him, I made sure to keep a respective distance away from Dalton. Everything that happened minutes ago came back flooding into my head. I still couldn’t believe Dalton could just dismiss his own fiancée like that. Didn’t he love her? Wasn’t he scared she might call off the engagement?But after everything that happened today, I realized something –Dalton was truly a decisive man. Once he made a choice, nothing could shake him. No matter what anyone said or thought, he stood firm.Even though some people might think of him as heartless, I couldn’t bring myself to hate him. He was my daughter’s father after all. And today, he had stood up for me in front of everyone. For that, I was grateful. We walked in silence through the vast Montclair villa. I had no idea where Dalton was leading us. The gardens stretched endlessly, filled with flowers and fountains. "Thank you," I said nervously, breaking the quietess again. "…F-

—SAMANTHA— "What’s your name, pretty?" The man ignored Dalton and narrowed his eyes at me, but he was still smiling. His fingers toyed with a red bead on his wrist round and round it went. I shifted nervously, glancing at Dalton before answering. "S-Samantha. My name is Samantha." "Samantha…" He rolled my name on his tongue like he was tasting it. His clouded gaze dragged slowly down my body, making my skin crawl. I instinctively moved closer to Dalton again, my shoulder brushing his arm. I didn't like this man. Something about him felt... wrong.He was giving me creepy chills, like he could be a psychopath hiding behind that charming face."Get your eyes off her, Theodora," Dalton growled, he now stood directly in front of me as if to prevent him from memorizing my face. Theodora laughed, lifting both hands up in mock surrender. "Woah! Easy there… cuz. I meant no harm. You know me better than anyone, right?" His grin widened, showing too many teeth. Dalton didn’t bother an

—SAMANTHA POV— Every eye in the restaurant was on us. My skin prickled. God knows how much I hated attention. I hated being the center of stares, especially like this. “Ophelia, get out of my way!" I said through gritted my teeth, ignoring Zeke’s eyes boring into me.I tried to walk past them, pretending they weren’t even there. But Ophelia’s fingers suddenly clamped around my wrist like a vice. I tried to yank free, but her nails dug deeper into my skin, sharp enough to draw blood. "Let me go!" I hissed, pain flaring up my arm. "Why should I?" Ophelia shouted back at me with a scoff, yanking my arm roughly like I was a criminal. "So you can steal food and run off? I’m a good citizen of this country, its my duty to stop thieves like you!" She tugged harder, making me stumble a little.A cold laugh burst out if my lips even though my arm was throbbing in pain.Good citizen?That was rich coming from a disgusting serpent like her! That was the funniest joke of the year.“Let

Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret The dress store
—SAMANTHA— I left Shirley’s office with the jewelry box held tightly in my hand. My heart wouldn’t stop pounding. I couldn’t even think straight. That necklace—it was too much. Too beautiful. Too expensive. Too… personal.Why would Dalton give something like that to me?My fingers tightened around the velvet case as I marched down the sleek hallway of Apex Corporation, my heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Employees whispered as I passed, their eyes darting between my face and the box I carried like it was a ticking bomb. I ignored them. Right now, only one person had the answers I needed. "Dalton," I muttered under my breath, picking up my pace. But just as I reached his office door, Adam appeared in front of me, stepping smoothly into my path. I frowned. “Excuse me. I need to talk to Dalton.”Adam gave a polite smile, but his tone was firm. “Mr. Montclair is currently in a meeting. He left instructions for me to take you to the dress store. Your appointment is a
Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret Tears of Ocean
—SAMANTHA— The moment after Adam walked out and the door clicked shut, her demeanor completely changed. She circled me like an artist studying a muse, her gaze lingering on my still-red cheek. The same spot Jessica had slapped."So…" she mused, "you’re the woman who made Dalton Montclair kick his fianceé out." My breath caught. "That’s not—""Relax, my darling," she chuckled, waving one hand airily as she walked back to her desk. "I’ve been waiting years for someone to put Jessica in her place."I blinked. "H-huh?"Was this a trick?Her stiletto heels clicked softly against the glossy floor as she moved behind her desk. Her hands, delicate and elegant, moved over a row of small velvet boxes laid out like treasure. She touched each one lightly, like she was deciding on picking the best treasure among them. She picked up a black velvet box and walked back over to me, a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips."Dalton’s instructions were very specific," she said, handing me the
Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret First Aid
—SAMANTHA POV— My heart stuttered when Dalton's command sliced through the silence. "Come here." Two simple words that sent my pulse skittering. I hadn't realized I'd been frozen in place. Maybe for two minutes... maybe longer. I didn’t know until his voice snapped me out of it, my feet suddenly heavy as lead. "I won't repeat myself, Samantha." he said, his voice lower this time... almost dangerous.Swallowing the knot in my throat, the warning in his tone had me moving before I could think better of it. Each step felt stiff, awkward, like I was walking straight into the lion’s den. My fingers twisted together as I crossed the office, each step measured, too aware of his gaze tracking my every movement like a predator watching prey. Did he want to scold me? Did he want to hit me after all I slapped his fianceé? Finally, when I reached Dalton’s Massive desk, my toes curled in my shoes. I lifted my eyes slowly, feeling painfully aware of the silence in the office.Dalton’s han
Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret You’re a gutter rat
—SAMANTHA— Jessica slammed the office door shut with enough force to make the glass walls tremble. The Valentino heels stabbed into the marble floor like talons as she advanced towards me. The diamond bracelet on her wrist caught the light as she pointed at me. "You." Her voice could have flash-frozen the Hudson River. "Get out of my fiancé's chair!" My fingers tightened around the armrests of the sofa. Every instinct screamed to stand my ground, but I didn’t want any trouble either. So without saying anything, I quietly stood up and moved aside.Jessica Jessica's crimson lips curled in triumph as she swept past me, her heavily perfumed presence filled my lungs, making me nauseous. Flipping her hair, she walked to the sofa like she owned the place. Then she sat down with so much arrogance, crossing her legs elegantly over each the other, acting like a queen.I felt uncomfortable standing there with her, so I turned to leave.But before I could take a step, her annoying voice sto
Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret Dalton company
—SAMANTHA POV— Dalton and I sat at the back seat of the Maybach while James drove us to God knows where.I rested my head against the window, watching the city roll by. Tall buildings, busy streets, people rushing about their lives. It all felt like a different world compared to the quiet bubble I was trapped in with Dalton.Before I knew it, the sleek car slowed to a stop. My brows pulled up at the massive skyscraper in front of us.Wait. What?Dalton’s company?The building was huge, towering proudly into the sky.Its glass walls glittered under the sunlight like a mountain made of diamonds. Through the transparent sides, I could even catch glimpses of workers moving professionally inside.People in suits were walking in and out of the entrance, carrying briefcases, while some were standing talking into earpieces looking important.Dalton got out and opened my door without a word."Let's go in," he said simply.I quickly obeyed, and before I could adjust my skirt properly, he had
Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret A beautiful morning
—SAMANTHA POV— Sunlight spilled through the curtains, painting golden rays across the bed. I stirred, yawning lazily, stretching my arms above my head… only to freeze.Something heavy… something warm… definitely male was draped across my waist.My heart jumped to my throat.Someone was beside me?A man?!Panic jolted through my veins, and I twisted vigorously, ready to fight. But the moment I turned and my eyes landed on him, I went completely still.Dalton.My mouth fell open in shock, and I forgot how to breathe.His face was few inches away from mine, his messy, curly black hair tousled against the pillow, his thick brows resting beautifully on his cheeks, and his lips—God, those full lips slightly parted as he slept. He looked… he looked like a Greek God lying there.Strong. Beautiful. Untouchable.Seconds bled into minutes, and I just kept staring, utterly enthralled."Are you done undressing me with your eyes?" Dalton’s deep voice rumbled low, still lazy with sleep.I jumped,
Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret You chose her over me?
Chapter 53 —DALTON’S POV— The city lights blurred past the tinted windows as the BMW sped toward the Brown Estate. My fingers drummed against the leather seat, restless. "What's going on in the Browns’ home?" I asked without moving my gaze from the window.James stiffened slightly, clearing his throat as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel."It’s said that Miss Jessica has been crying all day. She locked herself in her room and refused to see anyone. Not even her mother could get in. When Mr. Brown heard the rumors that you had a child with another woman, he tried reaching out to you. But since he couldn’t get you on the phone…" He hesitated. "...he threatened to cut off the engagement."‘As if he could.’I gave a low, humorless huff and tugged my tie loose, leaning back into the leather seat.Typical. Cowards always tried to make the first move when they felt powerless.Cutting off the engagement?Laughable.The rest of the drive passed in silence. ——— The Brown Estate
Revenge After Divorce: Ex-Husband Regret You want the engagement off?
—SAMANTHA POV— The car ride back to Crystal Palace was quiet. After dropping Maryjane off at her apartment, exhaustion weighed heavily on me. My eyelids felt like lead, but I fought to keep them open, not wanting to appear weak in front of Dalton. "Sleep," his deep voice cut through the silence. "I'll wake you when we get home." That was all it took. The moment he gave me permission, my body surrendered, and my eyes closed. The soft hum of the car lulled me into comforting darkness.———"Samantha." A gentle tap on my shoulder pulled me back to consciousness. I blinked groggily, my vision blurry before focusing on Dalton's face. The dim interior light of the car cast shadows across his sharp features, making him look even more striking. "We're home," he said with his face, calm and serious as always.I nodded, still half-asleep, and unbuckled my seatbelt before stumbling out of the car, yawning, and then instivetly moved to the back seat to pick up Amore.But before I could

—SAMANTHA—The security guards immediately released us, stepping back like they'd been burned. Dalton's dark gaze swept over the scene -Zeke's pale face, Ophelia shrinking behind him, the manager sweating bullets. Then those piercing eyes landed on me again. "Are you hurt?" he asked, his voice low but carrying across the silent restaurant. I shook my head, suddenly unable to speak. Dalton took three slow steps forward. The crowd actually parted for him. When he got to me, he grabbed my wrist to check for any injuries. "Mr Hamilton, the manager started stammering. "M-Mr. Montclair, we just had a small misunderstanding—" "A misunderstanding?" Dalton's eyebrow arched. "You were assaulting my guest over a misunderstanding?" Every face in the restaurant went white. Mary elbowed me hard. "His guest?!" she whizzed. I couldn't respond. My entire world had narrowed to Dalton's commanding presence, the way he dominated over everyone without even raising his voice. Zeke hissed
