MABEL

The ballroom was full of music, laughter, and glasses clinking. But all of that faded when I saw him.

The man from earlier. Damien, or my new nickname for him, Just Damien.

He stood across the room, tall and sharp in a black suit that fit like it was made for him. People moved aside as he walked, like the whole place belonged to him.

My stomach tightened as I remembered his words to me. “Find me. I'm too hot for you not to.”

What was he doing here?

Beside me, Vanessa let out a soft groan. “Of course,” she muttered under her breath, almost like she had been expecting him.

My head snapped to her. “You know him?”

“Unfortunately,” she said as she took a sip from her glass of champagne.

“How do you know him?” I asked again.

She didn’t answer. She just kept watching as he came closer.

In seconds, he was in front of me. My glass shook in my hand, not because of anything, but because of the pressure in the air. His eyes locked on mine, steady and unreadable.

“Finally,” he said in a low

  • The Ex-wife He Regrets Losing!   24!Mr Croft

    MABELDamien took my hands and dragged me out of the ballroom. It felt mysterious, like I'm a young girl ditching a class in high school with her new boyfriend.But it felt right and it felt free. I have always been the girl that does things right. I didn't screw enough to get myself accidentally pregnant in highschool or messed with my grade.I did everything right and I still ended up a divorce, a child that wasn't mine and my own missing or close to me. “Hey, hey,” I looked up to see Damien walking towards me and I realized that I slowed down.“Whatever you are thinking of, get it out of your head,” he said to me and I smiled dryly.“That's easier said than done,” I said to him and he took a step, closing the space between us.I lifted my leg to step backwards but he placed his hands on my waist, stopping me. “Well, you can start by getting into my car with me.”I looked up at him. I used to think I got a pretty distinct height for myself but standing in front of Damien I might as

  • The Ex-wife He Regrets Losing!   23!With Olives!

    MABEL“Okay, that's enough Mabel,” Vanessa held me by the waist. “You have said more than one would say in a board meeting.”She and Rose pulled me away from the Hoss and walked me straight to the bar. My head kept reeling from the conversation I just had.Some people still have mutual feelings with their ex family but with the Hoss, especially Claire Hoss if you're not with them, you are definitely against them. “Vodka in a glass for my friend here,” Vanessa said, dropping her card on the counter. “With olives,” I said and she looked at me, a bit shocked.“Well, there you go. We came here to give to our community, possibly get laid….”“You are the only one doing that,” I said as I took a sip from my glass of vodka. “Whatever,” she waved her hands. “We can't let some Hoss family bullshit ruin our night,” she continued.“Well, cheers to that,” Rose said, clicking her glass with Vanessa's.“Both of you are hilarious,” I took another. “I just want this night to be over,” I said and th

    MABELI clicked my tongue as I rolled my eyes. Why didn't I think she would be here? I was just expecting Hailey and Ethan. I haven't mentally prepared myself to see Claire.“We don't have to turn,” Vanessa said to me and I sighed. “We can just pretend we didn't hear her and walk away.”“But we…” my voice trailed. “I did hear her, and honestly what am I scared for,” I said, and turned around immediately, locking eyes with her.My lips curved into a smile as I watched the word ‘wow.’ escape from her mouth.“Damn, Claire,” I chuckled. “You look…wringled,” I said and took a sip from my glass of wine.“Is that the way you greet your elder child,” she walked towards me, and stopped a few feet away. “Especially your mother-in-law.”“You mean ex mother-in-law,” I said to her and she shrugged. Her black off-shoulder gown clung to her body like it was fighting for space. Being off-shoulder you could see her cleavage very clearly. Even some parts of her dress. That's Claire always competing w

  • The Ex-wife He Regrets Losing!   20!Pure Bliss or Chaos!

    MABELI played with my fingers as we got closer to the venue. I could hear the sharp sounds of the cameras. The yelling of the paparazzi at the guest arriving.This could be pure bliss or chaos. I took a deep breath and adjusted my gown for the tenth time since I got into Vanessa's limousine. “You need to relax, Mabel,” Vanessa said as she sipped from her glass of bourbon. “You need to take one of these.”“Not with my dress, I won't,” I said and Rose cracked a smile.“Well, you look beautiful,” she said and I nodded. I know I looked beautiful. I chose a long ivory gown that clung in all the right places, sculpting my figure with a new kind of confidence. I really hope this confidence is with me the moment I step out of this car. What made my dress even more magical, though, was the sheer overlay that swept across one shoulder. The single-shoulder cut was daring, yet elegant, leaving one arm bare.The fabric flowed down into a long, straight skirt that kissed the floor, while the

  • The Ex-wife He Regrets Losing!   19!A whole World Of Fashion!

    MABELWe got to Vanessa’s estate, and instead of the main house, we were directed to another part of the building.The place was pure luxury, white marble floors, gold-trimmed doors, tall glass windows letting in the sun. Beautiful, but not new to me. I’d seen plenty of houses like this, maybe even grander.Still, I could tell this wasn’t just money thrown around. Everything was carefully picked. The art on the walls, the chandeliers that glittered like falling stars, the furniture placed with a designer’s eye. Vanessa wanted this space to say something about her.“Hi, Ladies,” Rose and I heard Vanessa's voice and we looked up ahead.“Wow, this is amazing, Ms. Latham,” Rose said, drooling massively at the sights in front of her.“Oh please, I'm not that old and thank you,” she said as she got close to us.“You have a good eye for details, Vanessa. Everything is just,”“Me?” She cuts me off and I nodded. “Exactly my choice of words,” I said and she laughed. “Well as much as I enjoy t
