THE WIFE HE LOST TOO LATE: I DON'T NEED YOUR REGRET MR. CEO 57 - MODEST PROPOSAL
The fluorescent lights in the ceiling buzzed with a low, annoying hum. I sat in the uncomfortable plastic chair and stared at the wood grain on the long conference table.I spent the whole night pacing the hardwood floors of my living room. After Brian shielded Mira at the playground and walked away without demanding a single thing, I knew the other shoe was going to drop. I braced myself for a massive lawsuit. I expected his private security team to show up at my gates with a court order from a judge he bought off.Instead, my lawyer received a polite email requesting a voluntary mediation session.Carson shifted in the chair next to me. He wore a sharp grey suit, but he already loosened his tie. He looked just as tense and exhausted as I felt."He is going to try to intimidate us," Carson muttered, keeping his voice low so my lawyer wouldn't overhear. "Do not sign anything they put on this table today. We take it back to the office and comb through every single line.""I know," I sa
THE WIFE HE LOST TOO LATE: I DON'T NEED YOUR REGRET MR. CEO 56 - SLUT
HELEN'S POVThe VIP lounge at the country club was always quiet on a weekday morning.I sat in my favorite corner booth and took a sip of my champagne. The chilled glass felt good against my fingers. I leaned back against the plush velvet cushions and scrolled through the news feed on my phone.I couldn't stop smiling.The headline was everywhere. Caldwell Biotech was trending across every major social media platform, and the stock price was already starting to dip. The public was tearing Cheryl apart in the comment sections.People hated a liar, and Cheryl was the biggest liar in the city.She played the role of the perfect, untouchable CEO for four years. She walked around in her expensive suits and looked down her nose at the rest of us. Now everyone finally knew she was just hiding a bastard child behind a massive security gate.Brian fired me yesterday. He humiliated me in front of the board and kicked my father out of the company.But I knew Brian better than anyone else. He was
THE WIFE HE LOST TOO LATE: I DON'T NEED YOUR REGRET MR. CEO 55 - GENTLE RESCUE
I didn't wait for Thomas to put the car in park.I threw the door open and hit the pavement running. The cold morning air burned my lungs, but I didn't slow down. My heels hit the asphalt hard as I sprinted toward the school gates.I was ready to fight. I didn't care if someone sued me for assault today. I was going to shove my way through the mob, grab the first photographer I saw, and smash his camera over the concrete."Hey, little girl, look over here!" a man shouted from the fence."Just turn around!" another voice yelled over the chaos. "What's your name?"The voices blurred together into a sickening wall of noise. I pushed past a woman walking a dog on the sidewalk and aimed straight for the thickest part of the crowd.But I didn't have to fight anyone.Before I even reached the outer edge of the mob, the frantic energy shifted. The chaotic shouting suddenly died down. The blinding camera flashes stopped firing.The men who were just shoving their expensive lenses through the m
THE WIFE HE LOST TOO LATE: I DON'T NEED YOUR REGRET MR. CEO 54 - PLAYGROUND MOB
The soft hum of the tires against the asphalt was the only sound in the back of the limousine.I sat in the plush leather seat and scrolled through a PDF on my tablet. For the first time in forty-eight hours, I could actually take a full, deep breath without my chest aching. The storm felt like it was finally over.Two days had passed since I stood in front of those flashing cameras at Caldwell Biotech.The vicious rumor about my secret child just vanished from the internet. The boutique PR firm pushing the story imploded overnight, though I had no idea how it happened so fast. Their investors pulled out, their corporate contracts were mysteriously severed, and the malicious headlines disappeared before noon.I thought my press conference did the trick. I thought my cold, untouchable corporate mask scared the tabloids off and forced them to drop the story.Because the coast seemed clear, I finally let my guard down.Mira bounced back from her terrible fever with the resilient energy o
THE WIFE HE LOST TOO LATE: I DON'T NEED YOUR REGRET MR. CEO 53 - DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER
I hung up the phone. I didn't waste a single second. I dialed another number and held the phone to my ear.My Chief Financial Officer picked up on the second ring."Good morning, Mr. Wilson," the CFO answered. His voice sounded tight. He probably saw the news too."Pull up our active vendor contracts," I instructed.I heard the frantic clacking of a keyboard on the other end of the line.Wilson Enterprises was a massive global entity. We outsourced millions of dollars in corporate business every single year. We hired external firms for marketing, event planning, and damage control.Vanguard PR held three lucrative contracts with my company. We essentially kept their lights on. Without my retainer, their boutique firm was nothing."I have the master file open," the CFO confirmed. "What are we looking for?"I stared at the television screen. Carson looked so useless on the broadcast. He put his hand on Cheryl's back, but he couldn't stop the reporters from screaming at her. He couldn't
THE WIFE HE LOST TOO LATE: I DON'T NEED YOUR REGRET MR. CEO 52 - TRACING THE SOURCE
The reporter's voice echoed loudly in my quiet living room. I stood frozen in front of the television. I gripped the edge of my glass coffee table.On the screen, Cheryl stood at the podium in front of a sea of flashing cameras.Her perfect corporate mask slipped for a fraction of a second. Shock flashed in her dark eyes before she managed to blink it away. She was usually so untouchable. Seeing her look so cornered made a dangerous heat rise in my chest.Carson stepped forward on the broadcast. He put a hand on her back and tried to usher her away.He looked panicked. He shouted something at the security guards, but the press pool was already in a frenzy. The reporters shoved microphones past the velvet ropes. They smelled blood in the water.The camera feed suddenly cut away. A polished news anchor sitting at a desk appeared on the screen, looking entirely too thrilled by the drama.I grabbed the remote and muted the television.My blood boiled. Helen did this.She didn't just leak

CHERYL'S POVMy heart hammered against my ribs, and my hands went numb. He stood two feet away from me. I had prepared myself for this exact moment for four years, yet hearing him claim my child still sent a sharp spike of fear through my veins. I forced myself to take a slow breath. I refused to

CHERYL'S POVThe taxi drove away from the Wilson estate, and I did not look back. I stared at the leather seat in front of me while the driver navigated through the quiet suburban streets. The silence in the car allowed my mind to drift backward, and the harsh memories of my high school years surfa

CHERYL'S POV"I want a divorce," I said.I placed the printed documents directly in the center of the large mahogany desk.Brian Wilson did not immediately look up from his laptop monitor. He continued typing for several seconds while the silence stretched between us. Eventually, he finished his em
