THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT STAND BY ME
ScarlettI stilled, my hands frozen on the stack of files on my desk as I stared at Grandma Hartley, expecting her to be disappointed to see me with Ethan.Instead, she was angry at the useless man who had tried to humiliate me.“Didn't you hear me or do you need another spanking?!” Grandma Hartley barked, glaring at Ethan.He flinched, taking another step back as though she'd already raised her cane. “I...heard you.”Slowly, Ethan lowered to his knees. “I'm sorry for the words I used against you, Scarlett. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”His voice shook with humiliation. This was the same filthy man who always looked down on me as if I was dirty. Now, he was forced to his knees before me because someone stronger had ordered him to.This was the power the Hartley family carried.Without sparing him a glance, I said, “You can stand up and leave.”Ethan scrambled to his feet and fled out of my office. He was barely gone when Grandma Hartley turned and faced me.“You

Scarlett “I'm sorry I didn't tell you from the beginning,“ Pete said, his voice heavy with regret. “When Ethan asked me to help him acquire the poison, I didn't question it. My clients pay for discretion, not curiosity. I supplied what he requested and left it at that. It wasn't until later that I learned Alistair Gance died shortly afterward.“He continued, “I suspected that he must have given it to Nathan, but the cause of his death was listed as cardiac arrest. No one was interested in finding out how Alistair died, so I buried the hatchet as well since it wouldn't do me any good if the truth came out.“My fingers tightened around my phone. “Are you helping me out of guilt? Is that what this is?““I think so.“A faint smile tugged at my lips. Pete didn't know I had already discovered this much. Until then, I intended to milk him dry of his guilt. After all, guilt was far more useful than loyalty.Nathan already made Clarissa take the fall for forging my father's medical records, w
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT SWITCH SIDES
Scarlett“Hold on, Scarlett! Listen to me!” Ethan's desperate and pathetic voice tore through the wedding hall as two security guards dragged him toward the exit. “You want to get married to Adrian Hartley that badly? Fine, I'll let you! But I can't sell the drugs without you. Think of the millions of lives depending on it. Are you going to throw that all away? Scarlett!”The same man who had spent the past year cheating and plotting to get rid of me was now begging me. Now that money was involved, suddenly "millions of lives" mattered. What a joke!His voice gradually faded until it disappeared completely. I avoided Adrian's gaze not because I was ashamed but rather because I knew exactly what questions were running through his mind, and I wasn't prepared to answer them in front of both our families.“Are you alright?” he asked, taking me by surprise, as those were not the words I was expecting to hear.“A little shaken, but I'm fine.”After all, any woman would be rattled after havi
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT MADMAN
Adrian Our wedding was held in one of the Hartley family's private hotels. The entire venue had been reserved exclusively for this occasion. Upon arrival, the staff who had been on standby escorted Scarlett to a private suite to prepare her for the ceremony. I headed to my own dressing room. The hotel staff had already laid out my tuxedo according to my instructions. As I buttoned my shirt, my phone rang. It was Daniel. I answered and placed the call on speaker. “You have ten minutes, Daniel.” “The new drug couldn't be launched today. Apparently, Ethan Vale of EH Pharmaceuticals doesn't possess the legal selling rights. Only his wife does.” A faint smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I picked up a tie and draped it around my collar and tightened its knot. “And where is Ethan Vale now?” I asked. “He left the conference hall in a fury.” Of course, he did. The drug launch that was meant to set Ethan's company's reputation on the rise had turned into a public embarrassment b
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT RUN BUT I'LL FIND YOU
EthanThe corners of my lips ached from smiling as I watched researchers move across the conference hall, making final adjustments before the launch ceremony began.By tomorrow, EH Pharmaceuticals would no longer be known as a struggling company but would become one of the big dogs in the industry and the most talked-about company. To think this moment had almost been ruined when Aurelia interfered with the clinical trials and now, she was trying to take my son away from me? Fat chance.A flicker of annoyance washed over me as my gaze landed on Alfred among the investors. After what had happened the last time with Scarlett's patent, seeing him again left a bitter taste in my mouth.As if sensing my thoughts, Alfred approached me. “Mr. Vale. I hope you don't mind me attending the launch instead of Mr. Hartley, as he's currently occupied with his wedding.”What a shame that the most talked-about wedding of the year between Adrian Hartley and his fiancée, the new LG Group heir, had to be
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT GOOD RIDDANCE
ScarlettEthan had been gone for over six hours.I sat by the living room window, my gaze sweeping across the driveway not because I missed Ethan but rather because I was worried he'd seen the circulating video of me in Adrian's club and suspected I wasn't just involved with Adrian for the sake of his company.If Ethan had seen the footage, that would put my entire plan at risk. Spotting an unfamiliar car pull up in the driveway, I rose from my seat, peeking behind a curtain.My heart slammed hard against my chest as Nathan climbed down from the driver's seat. I didn't stay long enough to notice the rest of their conversation. Instead, I moved upstairs and slipped beneath the covers, acting like the pale, weak Scarlett he preferred.“Honey, are you home?” His voice echoed from downstairs. Heavy footsteps ascended the stairs, approaching the bedroom.The door creaked open.“Scarlett, are you asleep?” Ethan asked.I shifted weakly beneath the blanket, turning towards him as a soft groan
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT I ALREADY KNEW
Adrian“Mr. Hartley, the video has been taken down with immediate effect,” Daniel reported as the car slowed to a stop in front of Hartley estate.My thumb hovered over Scarlett's contact, contemplating whether to call her or not just to confirm she was alright. In the end, I locked the screen and

Scarlett “Y-You look—“Adrian's phone rang, cutting him off. His jaw tightened as he glanced at the screen. “I have to take this.““Sure. No problem.“I watched him retreat down the hallway before turning back to the fitting room mirror and admiring my reflection. The woman staring back at me look
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT WEDDING DRESS FITTING
AdrianIt's been over thirty minutes since Scarlett left to use the restroom. At first, I didn't give it much thought as women took longer in there fixing their makeup and whatever it was they did in there, but thirty minutes was a bit excessive.I glanced at the time on my watch for the fourth tim
THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT YOU SNAKE!
Scarlett I stood, frozen at Adrian's words. Such simple words yet they sounded heavy. For the first time since I met him, Adrian didn't look like an untouchable man. Rather, he looked worn out, like a person who had been carrying heavy burdens for so long that they forgot how it felt to put them d
