MasukDear Amazing Readers, again đđ¤
If you are here, it means you stayed.
You read through the pain, the mistakes, the love that came too late, and you wondered âwhat happens after?â
This sequel is not about starting over.
It is about consequences, healing, and the kind of love that must fight its way back from regret.
Some wounds donât close easily.
Some apologies arrive too late.
And some stories are not meant to end quietly.
Thank you for walking into this next chapter with me.
Too Late for Sorry, Mr. Billionaire (My Ex-Wife's New Man)
SHANTEL was hotâangry, annoyed to the bones.She sat on the edge of her bed, one leg bouncing impatiently while her fingers scrolled endlessly through her phone. Every few seconds she would stop, curse under her breath, and then begin again. Her messy desk beside the window had become the next victim of her frustration. She rummaged through the stack of papers scattered across it, flipping documents aside carelessly.Outside her door, her sister had not stopped knocking.âShantel! Open this door!âThe knocking grew harder.âI know you can hear me there!âShantel rolled her eyes dramatically, ignoring it. The noise grated on her nerves, but she refused to give Tiana the satisfaction of a response. Not now. Not when her mind was boiling with far more important matters.Amelia.Shantel clenched her jaw.That woman was far more troublesome than she had expected.The text replayed in her mind like an annoying echo. Sounding in that calm voice of Amelia. The text had claimed she didnât beli
THE front door opened with a soft creak.Shantel stepped into the living room with the relaxed confidence of someone returning from a successful outing. A faint smile lingered on her lips, and she tossed her sunglasses casually onto the center table before slipping off her heels.She stretched her arms lazily.âWhat a day,â she murmured to herself.But the moment she lifted her head, she saw Tiana standing in the middle of the living room, arms folded tightly across her chest.Her younger sister had clearly been waiting.Shantel sighed softly.âOh please,â she muttered. âDonât tell me you are still on that.âTianaâs expression hardened immediately.âStill on that?â she repeated incredulously. âStill on that?âShe took a few steps forward.âYou disappeared for hours telling me you were going to celebrate your âsmall wins,â and you come back here acting like nothing happened?âShantel casually walked past her and sank gracefully onto the couch.âTiana,â she said lazily, crossing her leg
MARCUS'S apartment had not seen this much laughter in a long time.The three men sat around the center table in the living room, bottles and glasses scattered around as music played softly in the background. The earlier tension that had once defined their gatherings had completely disappeared.An old football match was playing on the 24 inches screen but they weren't looking at it. They were more engrossed in something else.Tonight felt different.Charles leaned back comfortably on the couch, a wide grin plastered across his face as he raised his glass.âFor survival!â he declared.Marcus and Julian chuckled before clinking their glasses with his.âFor survival,â Marcus repeated.Julian shook his head, amused.âYou look like someone who just escaped prison.âCharles laughed loudly.âBecause that is exactly what it felt like,â he replied. âMan, you guys have no idea how relieved I am.âMarcus leaned forward slightly.âOh, we have an idea.âCharles took another sip of his drink and sho
AMELIA slammed the book shut with a loud thud that echoed across the quiet study.âThe part I don't seem to get is why she would go that far just to get what she wants,â she said sharply, irritation dripping from every word.She paced to the other side of the desk, her heels clicking against the polished floor.Ryan sat across from her, leaning back in the chair, his fingers laced together as he listened carefully.Amelia shook her head.âGo as far as tracing a child you abandoned⌠not to reconcile, not to fix your mistakes⌠but to use her as leverage for your evil mischief.â She scoffed. âWhat kind of women raised these mothers?âRyan sighed deeply.âSome people just don't have a conscience,â he muttered.Amelia slammed the book on the desk again as if it had personally offended her.âThe worst part of it all,â she continued angrily, âis that she still hasn't even gotten the courage to show up!âShe stopped pacing and faced Ryan.âBut she is already using the girl as leverage when sh
FIONA gasped loudly.âGoodness gracious!âFor a moment, neither of them spoke.The living room suddenly felt smaller, heavier, as though the air itself had thickened. Fiona slowly leaned back into the sofa, shaking her head in disbelief while Vivian sat there staring blankly at the floor.âThis is bad,â Fiona finally muttered.Vivian let out a hollow laugh.âBad huh?â she repeated quietly.Fiona rubbed her forehead as if trying to wipe away the entire situation.âYes, bad. Very bad.â She leaned forward again, her voice lowering with worry. âI donât like this energy at all, Vivian. I donât like it one bit.âVivian remained silent.Fiona continued, shaking her head slowly.âOf all the people in the world⌠it had to be him?â she said. âYour past and your present sitting at the same table? That is not nice at all.âVivianâs lips trembled faintly.âMy messy past and my present,â she added with emphasis.Vivian closed her eyes briefly.âI knew it,â she murmured.Fiona frowned.âKnew what?â
VIVIAN returned home two days after she had left.The small gate clicked shut behind her as she dragged her pink coloured small suitcase through the veranda. The afternoon sun was still hanging lazily in the sky, casting long shadows across the tiled floor of the veranda. From the sitting room window, Fiona had already spotted her.The moment the door opened, Fiona sprang up from the couch, excitement lighting up her face.âFinally!â she exclaimed, hurrying toward the door. âMadam Vale has returned from her romantic getaway.âVivian forced a small smile as she stepped inside, placing her bag beside the wall. Her movements were slow, almost mechanical.Fiona paused. Something was off.She had expected Vivian to walk in glowing with happinessâ the kind of happiness that usually followed spending two whole days with a rich, attentive boyfriend. Vivian normally would have been talking nonstop already, laughing, showing pictures, flaunting gifts.But instead, she looked⌠drained.Her shoul
