“Get your hands off me, you fucking vause!” Thomas bellowed while struggling to get out of Nathan’s firm clutches.“Who’s this swank with ya, missy? Your sugar daddy?” The men behind Thomas jeered in laughter as they stepped closer to their leader.Nathan didn’t balk. He dug his fingers deeper against the branch of the gang leader’s neck and turned his shoulders to peek from his side. “Ah, so these guys are your sycophants? Ain’t I right?” He smirked deviously. “Shit, dude, your people looked like they’ll betray you any minute after I throw your ass in this goddamn building.”“You don’t fit here. Don't go meddle in other's business, wuss. Go back to your gold and shit!” Thomas’s nose flared. Lifting his arms, he grabbed Nathan’s wrist and shoved it away.Despite how facile Thomas could counter his attacks, Nathan didn’t shrink from him. He still stood tall in front of him, regardless of his towering heights. Thomas might be a few inches tall from Nathan, but it didn’t bother him.“The
The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 16: Impulse Confession
If there was one thing that could describe their whole trip, it would be damn hell green around the hills.Daphne could sense the unfitting restlessness of Nathan, while the nerves on her body were on tenterhooks. The drive took them about a painstaking duration of an hour before they arrived at Clara’s flat. When Nathan stopped by the side street, Daphne unfastened her seatbelts and thanked him, “I don’t know how can I repay you for all the help you did, Nathan, but thank you so much.”Nathan jerked his shoulders upward. “It was nothing, Daphne. I just did what I have to do.”“But, still...I’m really grateful.” The corners of Daphne’s lips quirked up. Grabbing her bag beside her, she added, “Good night, Nathan.”“You too, Daphne—Good night.” He nibbled his bottom lip, gandering at her.Daphne pulled out the car’s door. “See you next week, Nathan.”However, before she could open the door fully, she felt his large, soft palms over her skin. Jostling from both shock and buzzing sensatio
The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 17: Dinner with the Annistons
"Is that so? You think I’m hot?" A silvery, thick, hoarse voice emerged before them. She knew that instant that it was Chuck’s uncle who was behind her all along, listening to their conversation. Daphne was caught off guard by him; she didn’t know how to face the man without looking like an utter idiot. Slowly, she turned around and was greeted by his serious, yet amusing, expression. Her body stiffened, and her ajar mouth locked when she noticed him walking closer to them, still staring at her like he had found out an interesting piece about her. The man was wearing his usual fitted suit and tie, which even stressed his regal and blue-blooded posture, which made her reaction worse.Nathan simpered as he approached them, his eyes transfixed on her while he strode to Chuck’s side. Leaning down to his nephew, he greeted apologetically, "Sorry, bud, I was late."Daphne couldn’t let his pompous smirk pass by, as she wanted to explain herself to the man. Moreover, she didn’t want him t
The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 18: Requital of Debt
It was late at night by the time they reached Clara’s neighborhood. Daphne didn’t bother waking up Chuck and bid goodbye to Nathan before getting out of the car. However, before she could do so, Nathan reached for her arms to stop her."Is there something you need to tell me?" She asked while her fingers were curled on the handle of the car.He removed his hand from her and replied, "I’ve made up my mind."Her forehead creased, crunching in confusion. "To what?"Nathan wet his lips and looked at her closely. "You don’t have to pay what you owe me…""Oh, okay. What’s the catch then?" She faced Nathan and furtively gazed at his mysterious expression."You’ll be my girlfriend," he said seriously, without batting his eyes.Daphne was startled at his request. But it was not really an appeal and was more like compensation for her debt. Was she hearing it right? Did he say that he wanted her to become his girlfriend? Nathan knew she had come from a toxic relationship, and she was just starti

The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 20: The Repercussions
"Is there a problem? Are you goddamn serious?" The mother shot her a glare, hauling her child closer to Daphne so that she could see the swelling bruise on his cheeks. "That brat hit my son! Look at what he did to my poor baby’s face! Kids like him should not be allowed here!"Daphne calmly took a step forward, shielding Chuck from the woman’s hysterics. She raised her arms to appease the woman, who was getting angrier. "I really apologized for what happened, ma’am, and would talk this out with Chuck. We can assist you to the clinic right now so that your son’s bruises are tended."She then looked at her friend Stacy and asked her to help the mother and the kid go to the clinic before something drastic happened. The math teacher got her signal pretty quickly, and she rushed to get to the side of the mother. "Why don’t we let his bruise be treated first by our resident nurse, Mrs. Rochester? Then we can talk this over with our principal once everything settles down."The mother gave he
The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride Chapter 21: Want Her Back
A commodious and furnished mansion was seen in front of Daphne's viewpoint, a cozy one she had desired when she was juvenile. The tinted glass door had slid open, making way for her. She entered and saw the bifurcated stairs on the right side, which had a glass handrail. Her gaze lingered as she saw Chuck and Nathan standing at the landing.Smile plastered on Daphne's face as she moved forward and stood in the living room, where she had noticed the presence of Elliot, sitting on the black sectional sofa that could accommodate six people. A black corporate attire was what he had worn, which perfectly matched what Nathan had worn.Daphne had looked back at Chuck and Nathan and saw how they moved down the stairs fast, and as she blinked, they already had in front of her.Chuck's white polo uniform had been tucked on his black pants, with the school logo on the left side printed in blue, matched with his black leather shoes and a white sock that almost reached his knees. He had a black ba

Cirrocumulus clouds formed above the city's skyline. An elevator tone was heeded as Daphne reached the top floor. She faced the door as it slid open, seeing a group of employees standing in front, waiting for her to be out.All were in corporate attire, and their eyes concentrated on her, starting from head to foot, which provoked a chuckle on their faces, a judgment of her clothing inside the ravished office.Daphne stepped into the Carrara marble hallway, about to head towards the lobby a few steps next to the elevator, yet she heard the gossip and how all the ten employees conversed about her."The guard had been reminded not to let any homeless enter the office. Gosh! Look at her clothes!" said the woman whom Daphne had passed.Another woman had covered her mouth and nose using her palms as she smelled something—a mixture of sweat and some seasonings in the kitchen that became a stain on Daphne's precious shirt."Move! Your smell has reached us!" said the other. "What were you doi
