Claire’s POV

My thoughts raced within me like an athlete on a track. They didn’t just come and go. They chased me, circled back, and struck harder each time. The thoughts refused to stop haunting me. My hands trembled in fear, fingers curling into themselves as if I could physically hold everything in. Why wouldn’t I be afraid?

Seven years ago, I already knew the gravity of what I had done. I knew it then, even if I chose to ignore it. But even before that, long before things became this compli

  • Too Late To Regret, Ex Husband    Chapter 55 The School

    Lucas’ POVI couldn’t stop thinking about it. How could I?The blatant rejection that happened yesterday at the movie premiere kept replaying in my head like a broken record.I had faced boardroom battles worth billions of dollars. I had negotiated impossible deals and walked away victorious. Yet none of those victories seemed to matter.Because Judy had looked me straight in the eye and made it clear she wanted nothing to do with me.It was an obvious disinterest that proved to me that even if I owned the world and everything right inside of it, Judy did not care.Money meant nothing to her.Power meant nothing to her.My influence meant nothing to her.She did not want me which meant she didn't want me.Simple.Painfully simple.But she was the mother of my child.That fact alone made it impossible for me to completely walk away.This was the moment I should give up.Every reasonable person would advise me to let her go and move on with my life.But what then happens to me?A billio

  • Too Late To Regret, Ex Husband    Chapter 54 The Red Carpet Showdown 

    Judy’s POV“How do I look?” I asked Natasha. She’d been around in the house since yesterday.She’d left the country the moment I flew back into Colorado from the resort, but she was back yesterday and we have been gisting and gisting and taking care of Jonathan while I never looked back at what happened at the resort.It felt easier that way, pretending the memory could not reach me if I refused to acknowledge it. Still, there was a strange heaviness in my chest that never fully left. Almost like an instinct I could not explain.“You look beautiful Judy. So, astonishing.” she leaned over my shoulder. Her arms gently holding my arms as we both stared into the mirror.I smiled gently and rose to my feet. Checking myself out the more. I turned slightly from side to side, making sure everything sat perfectly on my body.“Of course.” I murmured quickly with the continuous smile.I’ve gotten the invitation to the movie premiere happening at the central Colorado in my mail by John. He was par

  • Too Late To Regret, Ex Husband    Chapter 53 Blacko FeedBack   

    Lucas’ POV“What?” She asked like she thought after this confession something else would have happened.“Go out of the room, Claire. See you tomorrow,” I said again.Without sparing her another glance, I lay on the bed and pulled the blanket over myself.For a few seconds, silence settled between us.Then she slowly rose to her feet.“Lucas?” she called softly.Her face squeezed with emotion. Her eyes spoke volumes. It was obvious she wanted to stay much longer. Perhaps she thought there was still something left to salvage between us.But there wasn't.Not anymore.She walked to the side of the bed. Stretching out her hand, she pulled the blanket slightly and bent down, attempting to get inside.“Don't you dare!”My voice exploded through the room.Cold.Firm.Uncompromising.Claire froze instantly.She knew exactly what that tone meant.If she got inside the blanket and slept beside me against my will, she would only worsen her already terrible situation.Because tomorrow, God willin

  • Too Late To Regret, Ex Husband    Chapter 52 The Send TO Blacko

    Lucas’ POVI stepped into the bedroom and made sure to lock the door behind me because I knew it. Claire was crazy in the head right now.One time she wanted me to sign the divorce papers and the next minute she was pleading and asking me what she had done, as though nothing ever happened.If I was not careful enough, she would step into the room again and keep pleading, but indirectly she would not allow me pick her former phone. And if that happened, there was no way I would be able to know the truth of the past I had been chasing for so long.CLICK!The lock sounded and I just knew it that the final lock of the door had been engaged, sealing everything behind me for now.Then I walked forward. Our closet room was in the other wing, which would have to be accessed through the bedroom corridor.I moved with caution, my steps quiet against the polished floor, and entered into the closet. I pulled the handle of the last drawer slowly, almost hesitating, as though the air itself was warn

  • Too Late To Regret, Ex Husband    Chapter 51 At Home 

    Lucas’ POVI touched ground in Colorado after Habibi had come to pick me at the resort as instructed. Getting into the helicopter, I stepped inside, and it lifted off immediately, carrying me toward my home.During the flight, I said nothing. My thoughts were already too loud inside my head, circling around Claire, Judy, and the truth I was still piecing together.Getting home, I saw her, Claire. She was sitting on the sofa, her feet tapping on the floor hurriedly and continuously, like she had been waiting in a state of agitation for hours.She didn’t greet me nor come towards me and attempt to peck me on the lips like she usually attempted every other night when I arrived from work. But of course, I didn’t mind.Something already felt different. Not softer, but heavier.I headed right up the stairs. I wanted to go into our room, pick her former phone and send the IMEI number to Blacko, but before I reached the stairs,“I want a divorce.” she roared.The words hit the air before I e

  • Too Late To Regret, Ex Husband    Chapter 50 Private Investigation

    Lucas’ POVI’d already given Habibi 12 hours to come pick me up at the resort. With this, unless I didn’t calculate it well, I’d already known that I was spending another night here, but this time alone.The thought alone sat heavy in my chest, not because I feared solitude, but because of what it gave me too much time to think about.If Claire had not come to ruin the moment, something that was already beginning to work between me and Judy, we would have been here together for another night and this night, perhaps I would have pleaded with her to forgive me for everything I did to her back when we were still married.The image of Judy in my mind was not soft anymore. It was layered with confusion, with unanswered questions, with a history I could no longer ignore.But then, the deed has been done and I just have to move on by restrategizing.I exhaled slowly and opened my briefcase.Yesterday, when we landed here, I made sure to carry my briefcase by myself to this resort. It was not

    Lucas’ POVI heard it loudly. I’d already set my heart to it before I slept last night.The ring of the alarm.The first ring was a mid-level ring. But yet, I opened my eyes widely almost immediately. Sleep left my body at once because today was not a normal day.I got out of bed, knowing exactly w

    Lucas’ POVMy heart sank instantly when Judy said it. Called the Rolex a cheap one.It wasn’t. I’d made sure that it was picked by me personally.When coming here, I’d branched to the perfectionist store. He was very popular in Colorado to sell original brands from the original creator.He deals sp

    Lucas’ POV“What are you gonna do?” Henry asked.I paced around the room. My heart hammered right in my chest. The question lingered heavily in the air, pressing against my thoughts. To think Judy could do this to me was so unreal.“How could she do this?” I blurted before I could think twice about

    Lucas’ POVI waited in the car for an hour. I knew it. Because I attempted to talk to the boy earlier, the nanny with him would immediately become stricter, she wouldn’t allow him out of her sight. That alone told me I wouldn’t get a second careless chance.I turned on the car AC, not allowing mysel
