“Let me in. I have to see Nathan Gance!” I yelled, but the security guard at the Gance residence didn't budge.

“Mr. Gance has given strict instructions not to receive any visitors today, sir. Please, step away from the gate,” he said.

My jaw muscles twitched. “If you tell him Ethan Vale is here, he'll see me.”

Before I could argue further, a maid hurried out of the house. “Mr. Gance said Mr. Vale may come in.”

Brushing past the guard, I shot him a glare. “I told you.”

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   SHUT THE DOOR

    Chase“You could be overthinking things, Chase,” Scarlett said over the phone. “Ryker would never do something like that to you.”I leaned back against the chair, rubbing my temple. “I want to believe that, but—”“I know it's hard not to believe the things you saw, but you know Ryker,” she cut in. “Give him the benefit of the doubt.”I heard a knock against my door. “Thanks for the advice. I have to go now. It looks like my next client has arrived.”Hanging up, I answered, “Come in.”The door was thrown open as Evelyn strolled in, pulling a person with a black sack bag over his head along with her.I blinked. “Evelyn, what are you doing here?”“I'm trying to fix your marriage, which should be none of my business, but for some reason, it turned out to be,” she said, lowering the person down onto the chair across from me and taking off the bag from his head.Patting his face, she jolted him awake. “Wake up, Oliver. I didn't drag you away to sleep your ass off.”Opening his eyes, Oliver

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   COMPANY RIVALRY GONE WRONG

    Ryker“Oliver, open up! I know you're there!” I called out, banging against the door. The door was pulled back as a sturdy, unkept-looking blonde man with a big belly appeared.Evelyn's face twisted into a deep scowl. “Is he the person trying to ruin your marriage? Hell, Ryker, you can do much better than this.”“What the—No, it's not like that,” I said, then turned to the man. “Doesn't Oliver live here?”He picked his nose. “He does. But who is asking? You? Or the pretty lady?”“Me. I'm a colleague of his from work.”“Oh. I'm Oliver's father, Darrel,” Darrel introduced, stretching out the same hand he had used to pick his nose earlier. “Wanna shake hands?”I shook my head. “Thanks, but we'll pass. Can you let me know if your son, Oliver, is around?”Darrel moved aside. “Upstairs. Second door to your right.”“Thank you.”Brushing past Darrel, Evelyn and I stormed upstairs to the specified location. Standing by the entrance door, Evelyn turned the doorknob and pushed it open.A naked O

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   ON A BRINK OF COLLAPSE

    RykerI stood to my feet. “Are you serious right now, Chase?“A humorless scoff slipped from his lips. “Do I look like I'm joking?“He didn't, and that's the problem.“You're going to divorce me without even listening to what I have to say?“ I asked. “Is that how fickle your love is?“His jaw tightened. “Fickle? You're the one I found in bed with another man! In our marital home!““And I told you, I don't remember how that happened!“ I yelled back. “One minute we were at the company diner, and the next thing I know, we woke up in bed. But I've told you countless times that nothing happened.““For God's sake, Ryker, you were naked!“ Chase shouted, bursting into tears. “You both were...“Crossing the bedroom, I pulled Chase into my arms. “I know you're having a hard time believing what you saw, but I would never cheat on you.“Leaning back, Chase broke out of my grasp, tilting my neck to the side. “What is this?“My brows knitted together. “Is there anything there?“I watched his expres

    ChaseFIVE YEARS LATER“Oh my God,” I panicked, breathing heavily, staring at my reflection clothed in a white suit in the mirror.Scarlett burst through the front door. “I heard you panicking in here. Are you thinking of escaping your own wedding?”“Is that an option?” I asked, actually meaning it.She threw a jab at my shoulders. “No. Think about Ryker.”A low groan escaped my throat. “I know, I know. He made a whole lot of preparation for this day, and so did I. I don't know why I'm so nervous.”“That's because you're excited. Don't overthink things and walk down the aisle towards the one man who loves you more than anyone in the world.”A small smile tugged at my lips. “You're right.”The door was thrown open as Adrian, Ryker's best man, strolled in, dressed in a suit.“What's taking so long, Chase?” he asked.“Don't be hard on him, Adrian. He's just having the wedding jitters,” Scarlett said.“Jitters, my ass. Ryker is starting to think his bride bailed on him.”“I'm coming, okay

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   NO LONGER STUCK

    Scarlett After I got discharged from the hospital, I took three weeks of maternity leave from the company to look after my babies. While I rested, Chase assisted in running the company in my stead, overseeing the LHG project.“There are my pretty angels,” Nana squealed, bursting through the front door. Settling down onto the couch beside me, she received one of the twins from my hands.“Thanks for coming over, Nana.”“It's not a problem. I'm happy I get to see my great-grandchildren this way.” Her smile faltered. “Sometimes, I think about my son, Victor. If he were still alive, would his relationship with Adrian have gotten better? Would he also be excited to see his grandchildren?”“These thoughts have been wandering in my head ever since it was revealed what George and Marianne did with my Victor's treatment money.” She continued, her voice cracking. “I keep thinking about where I went wrong with George. Just how did he hate his own brother to want him gone? Why couldn't I see that

    ChaseWhen we got back home, I crashed onto the bed with a heavy sigh. Without saying a word, Ryker settled behind me, his arms on my shoulders, slowly kneading them.A satisfying moan slipped from my lips. “What are you doing?“ “You've had a long day, haven't you? So, I'm trying to ward off the bad energy. Is it working?“ I nodded. “It is.“ Reaching over my shoulders, I intertwined my fingers with his. “I'm glad you're here. I can't imagine how today would have turned out if you weren't by my side.“ Sinking low, Ryker placed a kiss on my cheek. “You won't ever have to find out. Because for as long as you have me, I will always be by your side.“ Reaching for the lower desk, I pulled out a small box. Turning to face Ryker with the box in my hands, I said, “Here. I was going to wait until your birthday next month to give you this, but I don't want to wait much longer.“ Accepting the present, I watched as a short gasp slipped from his lips as Ryker opened the box. His eyes began
