The Ex-Husband's Endless Regret Chapter 11
Time is a relentless thief. As another year slipped through the hourglass, my career scaled new heights. At the same time, a quiet wedding took place on the grounds of a private estate. Only our family and closest friends were present.Sunlight, emerald lawns, cascading flowers, and pristine white lace…I was in a bespoke wedding gown. Holding Caleb’s arm, I walked down the petal-strewn path. My face was radiant with a genuine, carefree joy. Caleb looked at me, with an unstoppable outpouring of love in his eyes.In the office, Vincent stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing down at the sprawling, glittering metropolis. He was leaner than he had been a year ago, yet his eyes carried a desolate emptiness that no amount of time could erase. Resting silently on his desk was an exquisite wedding invitation. The embossed gold lettering felt like acid burning into his retinas. Vincent stayed alone in the very office where he and Lyra had been intimate all night. The dying su

The ground was covered with fallen sycamore leaves in late autumn, showing a sprawling golden canvas. I sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathed in the warm afternoon sun. A soft cashmere shawl was draped over my shoulders as I lazily flipped through a book. Caleb sat cross-legged on the plush carpet, his laptop resting on his knees as he handled business affairs. Every so often, he would glance up at me. The serene, domestic peace was abruptly shattered by the sharp ping of a breaking news alert on the tablet. [BREAKING NEWS! Dominic Corleone, Chairman of Vertex Holdings, Formally Arrested by Police for Massive Embezzlement and Tax Evasion!][Vertex Holdings Stock Plummets into Freefall! Bankruptcy and Liquidation Officially Declared!][DEEP DIVE: a Mysterious Financial Leviathan Suspected of Orchestrating a Precision Strike behind the Collapse of Vertex Holdings!] A string of bold and glaring headlines was a bloody spectacle. As I slid my finger across the phone screen, my gaz

A bitter edge crept into his voice."The moment I found out you were going abroad, I followed you straight here. Not for any other reason… I just love you, Lyra. I’ve been hopelessly, desperately in love with you since we were kids."Caleb’s words washed over me like a warm current, seeping into the frozen corners of my heart. I stared at him, taking in the unguarded devotion and nervous vulnerability in his eyes.Over the past six years, every ounce of his kindness had been etched into my memory. He had been my anchor in a foreign land, the silent shield when my career hit rock bottom, and by my bedside through feverish nights. He respected my boundaries, never pressured me, and offered me solid and real warmth.Caleb gently took my hand and I can feel his warmth."Lyra, I know you’ve suffered deeply from a broken heart and you haven't gotten over the past yet. But, I'm in no rush and I can wait. I just want to know… could you give me a chance. Let me stand by your side as your boyfri
The Ex-Husband's Endless Regret Chapter 8
Time seemed to freeze. Vincent stared at me, standing there completely unharmed. The crushing weight that had suffocated his chest for days and nights finally, violently, broke. A massive, overwhelming wave of relief, tangled with an indescribable, agonizing ache, instantly shattered his ironclad composure.Vincent didn't give a damn about the bone-deep agony in his arm, nor did he care about his ruined appearance. He lunged forward and pulled me into a crushing, desperate embrace. His grip was so ferocious and possessive. It was as if he were trying to fuse her bones into his own.His entire body trembled uncontrollably. His voice was a hoarse, broken rasp, thick with unshed tears as he muttered like a broken record."Thank God… Thank God you're safe… Thank God…"It was the sheer, paralyzing terror of a man who had almost lost his entire world. Pinned against his chest, I could feel the frantic, violent hammering of his heart, and smell the heavy stench of blood, mud, and… raw, unfilt
The Ex-Husband's Endless Regret Chapter 7
With those words, Vincent didn't even spare a glance for the playboy on the floor and the horrified guests around him. Dropping a chilling warning, he snapped."Watch your fucking mouth!"He grabbed Elara’s wrist and strode out of the ballroom, leaving a suffocating, dead silence in his wake. It was the first time that he had lost his ironclad composure in such a high-profile, public setting. And, the reason for it was that some insignificant foolhad dared to mention Lyra’s name with disrespect.On the way home, the car ride was steeped in a heavy, oppressive silence. Elara seemed thoroughly spooked. It took her a long time before she asked in a tentative way."Vincent… Mom called again today, asking when we consider the wedding. So, I was thinking…"Staring out the window at the city lights blurring past in the dark, Vincent rubbed his temples. A faint, imperceptible exhaustion laced his voice as he brushed her off."There is a cross-border merger entering a critical phase. I'm swampe
The Ex-Husband's Endless Regret Chapter 6
In the dead of night, Vincent fell into his usual habit of sleeping on the inside. Half-asleep, his arm instinctively reached out to pull the person beside him into his embrace. His hand met a warm, yielding body. Elara, emitting a delicate perfume scent, obediently snuggled closer. Vincent felt that something wrong. The body temperature was weird and he couldn’t feel a vibrant and burning heat. The scent was queer, which lacked a naturally sweet, intoxicating fragrance. Even the faint sound of breathing was entirely wrong.Lyra had always been a restless sleeper. She would unconsciously steal the blankets, burrowing into his arms like a small cub seeking warmth, tangling her limbs around him in her hazy sleep. Vincent jerked his eyes open. A violent wave of rejection surged from his chest. For the first time, he shoved Elara away with a roughness that bordered on brutality. He swung his legs out of bed, his voice carrying an imperceptible, icy edge. "Go to sleep. I just remembered
