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 19: Hard By, Gone By
Kelly Holding wasn’t always as regnant as it was today. In the past, when the company was still one of the fledging businesses making its way to the market, Robert Kelly, Nathan’s father, had a hard time pervading the top market spot. Despite his efforts and acute vision for his company, he knew how hard it was to penetrate the top position in the market. However, that changed when Robert met Casper Smith. A well-known business magnate with more power than the government. He’s a man who had the touch of Midas’ hands where even the most shunned corporation could become a glorious business enterprise.Adamant about the notion of getting his business into the playing field, Robert asked for Casper Smith’s support. Despite this bankable aid from the god of business himself, Casper’s help came with a blowback cost. It was a consequence that Nathan’s father didn’t ascertain, not until he came down to his last breath.And now Nathan had to face this conniving man again. The man who had bec
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

Bundles of files and plenty of paperwork were what Daphne worked inside Nathan's office for the whole week, stayed at Nathan's side, and sat in on important meetings that somewhat felt sleepy hearing that business jargon. Her interest was not in that field, yet as a sophisticated girlfriend, she needed to be there, pretending to be an active listener, as she could catch up with every business topic, those growth charts displayed on the screen, their project growth development, and conflicts with the primary office from its local partners and domestic branch.It all gave her a headache, and she somewhat enjoyed the roller coaster challenge inside the company as other employees started hating and laughing. In contrast, others still managed to respect and like her.'They were always that weird. Nothing was wrong with me. I respected them, but that bullshit could not do the same. And that's pretty normal.' Daphne thought. 'I made sure to enter the office elegantly and formally."An estima

The next balmy day came after Daphne left, yet Nathan sat on his swivel chair silently. He was staring at the air, his mind was hovering, and an image of Daphne appeared. Yesterday's scenario kept on flashing and made him worried like hell. Negativity surrounded him, and he could not focus on the duties and paperwork he should have done. A tic-tac sound of the cloud made noise in a grave, silent office, and shrieking noise on the air conditioner at the side made him feel cold.He shook his head and concentrated on working, as he reckoned she might be late or, worse, would come later this afternoon. Many hours had passed by, he had drunk two coffees, but no Daphne appeared. Marveling what was wrong with her, he opened his cell phone as he leaned back into his swivel chair, relaxed for a bit from office work, and texted Daphne.'Hi! May I know why you did not show up? Or why didn't you notify me what happened?' texted Nathan.'Do you face problems again? Tell me, and I might help you so

The tree danced as the air blew, as well as it brushed Daphne's soft skin and made her hair a bit messy. Her eyes were stunned as the familiar voice continued to echo. At first, she thought she was hallucinating, but as time passed, a voice was still heard behind her. Daphne swerved to face it and yet recognized she was not awry."Nathan," she muttered, lingering as her eyes and brows broadened narrowly.Nathan moved forward and stopped before Daphne, panting heavily with a relieved snicker."Thank God! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Nathan said, who went close to Daphne as his eyes stared at her. "No one told me to do such, but I did it for you!"Daphne's jaw dropped, and her heart almost ceased from breathing as Nathan's mixed signals were too visible. An unusual feeling wandered into her nerve, tingling her with those actions she had seen. She blinked a few times, and a smile painted on her lips as no words went out. She did not mind it, despite how it affected her whole sy
