LEILA 

I sat in the passenger seat, my eyes fixed on the blurry streetlights outside, but my mind was stuck inside my office. My body was resting against the cushions, but I was replaying the kiss on a loop. 

The warmth of his mouth, the solid pressure of his hands on my shoulders, and the sharp sound of the plate breaking on the floor, it all blurred together into a heavy fog. 

I couldn't find my footing. The rules

  • THE WIFE HE THREW AWAY: My ex-husband's regret     { THE DELAY }

    LEILAI glanced at the time on my phone as I adjusted the little jacket Mila was wearing. We were running a little late, and I didn't want George waiting for us when he arrived."Mommy, are we going to see Daddy now?" Mila asked excitedly from beside me.I smiled. "Yes, sweetheart. We're going to pick him up."Her face immediately brightened. "Daddy is coming home!"I laughed, taking her little hand as we headed toward the car.I had been looking forward to this moment all day. Knowing George was finally on his way home made everything feel different. I couldn't wait to see him, hold him, and hear about everything that had happened in Canada.The drive to the airport felt longer than usual. I kept glancing at the time, eager to get there before his flight landed.When we finally arrived, I parked and helped Mila out of the car before making our way into the international arrivals terminal.There were quite a number of people waiting. Some held flowers, others stood beside their childr

    GEORGE"That's not what we agreed to."I stared at the documents in front of me, struggling to believe what the government representatives were proposing.I sat at the head of the conference table, with my legal team beside me and several senior government officials seated opposite us. The meeting had been going on for nearly two hours, yet we were nowhere close to reaching an agreement. The room felt incredibly small, the air thick with tension.The Canadian government wanted my company to surrender its controlling stake in the nickel-processing project to a state-backed corporation. In exchange, they would consider lifting the suspension on our operating and export permits. "My company has invested seven billion dollars in this project," I said, keeping my voice firm and level. "We have fulfilled every single obligation outlined in the concession agreement. You cannot expect us to surrender control simply because the government has suddenly decided to change the terms."One of th

    GEORGEI stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, watching the city lights shimmer beneath the evening sky. The view usually brought a sense of calm, but tonight, my focus was entirely elsewhere. Two days. In just two days, it would be Leila's birthday. I had spent weeks obsessing over the final preparations, absolutely determined to give her a celebration she would never forget. Every single detail had been carefully considered, and I had personally overseen the arrangements to ensure absolute perfection. But the party wasn't the only surprise I had planned for her. Turning away from the glass, my eyes drifted toward the small, deep-blue velvet box resting on the table behind me. I had opened that box dozens of times over the past few days, checking its contents even though I knew very well how flawless the diamond inside was. Each time the lid clicked open, I found myself imagining the exact look on Leila's face when I finally slipped it onto her finger. I coul

    KARLI stared at Jennifer, then shifted my gaze down to the steaming cup of coffee in her hand. She smiled gently when our eyes met, completely unfazed.“How are you feeling now?" she asked, her voice soft in the quiet room. "I got you some coffee.”She pulled a wooden stool closer to the edge of the bed and placed the ceramic cup on the bedside table.The scent of caffeine drifted toward me, but I didn't touch it.“Stop all this, Jennifer,” I said, my voice sounding rough and gravelly.Her smile faded slightly, the warmth leaving her eyes. “Stop what?”“Whatever this is.” I gestured around the pristine, white room, the movement making my head throb violently. “How did I end up here? What the hell happened last night?”She stared down at me, her posture instantly stiffening as her expression changed from concern to pure disbelief.&

  • THE WIFE HE THREW AWAY: My ex-husband's regret    { SHE REALLY HATES ME NOW }

    KARLMy eyes fell to the necklace lying at my feet. It sparkled against the cold floor. Three point eight million dollars, and Leila had thrown it away without a second thought. She didn't care about the money, or the fact that it was a gift from me. I stood frozen in the middle of the crowd, my breath trapped in my chest. She was in George's arms. He held her tight against his chest like the most precious thing in the world, and Leila didn't even try to pull away. Their daughter’s small hands wrapped around her neck, making them look like a perfect, happy family. A dark sensation twisted inside me, squeezing my heart until I couldn't breathe. I hated George. I despised him more than anyone else on this earth, and right now, I had to watch him enjoy the exact life I had lost. He had my woman. He had the family I was supposed to have. He had everything. The sight filled me with a burning hatred that I could barely contain. Part of me wanted to scream and tear the museum apart,

    LEILAI turned to face him, keeping my expression composed.Up close, Karl looked exactly as I remembered him. The same sharp features. The same confident posture. The same eyes that had once made it difficult for me to remember all the reasons I should walk away from him.For a brief moment, the familiarity caught me off guard. Then I reminded myself that the man standing before me was part of a life I had already left behind.His gaze moved over my face, lingering before settling on mine. Something shifted in his expression, but I had no interest in figuring out what it meant.“You look beautiful, Leila.”“Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne,” I replied with a polite smile. I turned and continued toward the exit.My heels clicked against the polished floor, and the music from the ballroom followed me into the corridor. I had barely taken a few steps when I heard his footsteps behind me.“Leila, please. Can we talk?” He quickened his pace until he was walking beside me. “I just need a few minut
