Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-Lover's Regret: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

Adeline's POVJayden seemed to be grinning. "Partner from where? You're the one who committed the crime that landed you in jail, not me. I'm just interested in having that woman.""You!" I quickly stood up from my chair and pointed at his face.I was angry at his words that cornered me. In fact, he was also one of the causes of Nicole's death."How easy it is for you to abdicate your responsibility!" I was still pointing at the man's face, which still looked disinterested. "I've been giving you information about that woman and helping you get close to her all this time, but you don't want to return the favor?"Jayden's face hardened. He came back closer to the glass, towards me, and hit the table hard. The look in his eyes that looked angrier shocked me, and I did not expect this change in his attitude."Hey, you're the one who tried to kill that woman without my knowledge." He said, almost sounding like a growl. "You made me so angry that I'm going to make sure you rot in prison for

Nicole's POV"Why is that man here, mom?" Richard spoke to me, who was still silent.I also didn't know why that man was around an area quite far from the office or the lunch place that was his usual destination. He couldn't be wasting his time traveling around the city, which was taking up much time unless he knew where Richard and I were.While I was thinking, Chris crossed over alone and walked towards us. He smiled at Richard, and I saw my son looking seriously and coldly at the man. There was no more pretense on his face like when he first met him."Hi, my little buddy. We finally meet again." Chris was friendly to my son, who was looking at him sharply.The two of them stared at each other while I watched. At that moment, I realized that Chris and Richard had something in common with each other, as their identities as father and son were unknown to many people.Chris was firm while running his company, as well as his courage to do whatever he wanted at any given time or circumst

Nicole's POVEdwin was next to me, watching me so intently that I couldn't ignore him. I exhaled, staring at the old man who had a similar expression to when I fell ill a few days ago."What's wrong, Father?" I asked.Edwin shook his head, letting out his breath before lowering his gaze from my face. "I was just thinking that your current condition reminds me of the past, but you're much better now."I tried to smile, but it was hard to do so when my mind automatically replayed the events almost completely buried in my memory. The sound of the explosion and the heat from the flames that nearly touched me, the car accident at that time, really affected me to the point that the effects caused me to have a panic attack and end up lying down like this.Richard and Chris saw that effect firsthand earlier, while Edwin had seen my reaction like this several times whenever there was an accident or news about the same thing.That was also influenced by the condition of my body, which was alrea

Nicole's POV"Ugh." I held my head, feeling a stab of pain that was quite severe and left a lingering dizzy sensation.I closed my eyes to help ease the pain I was experiencing, then heard someone stepping closer and asking about my condition. Key. "Miss Nicole, are you alright?" He asked, sounding worried.I was silent for a few moments before nodding, flashing a smile to appease him. "I'm fine, just dizzy."I stared at the computer screen blankly, thinking about the symptoms of my headache that were still returning even though I was feeling better. I had so many things to accomplish that there was no time to waste, which was probably why I was also experiencing stress that was affecting my health.I'm relieved that I didn't show this to my father or Richard. Both of them could suddenly become overprotective and force me to rest without taking into account the things I have to do from now on.A document was suddenly placed on my desk. I raised my gaze, seeing Key's genuinely worried

Chris' POVI was still in the car, staring at my hands and pressing my fingers together with a frantic mind. There were several things I was thinking about after Evan told me the shocking rumour.Feelings of disbelief, confusion and trying to process the information in my head were mixed. In the end, I quickly chose the quickest and surest way out that I could do. Go to that person's house, who knew Nicole the best even though I didn't want to admit it.The car I was driving stopped at the same-looking housing complex. "Here you are, sir." The driver spoke.I looked out the window, noticing the small-sized house that was identical to the other houses that lined up around it. What differentiated the houses from each other were the numbers and the door decorations above the small windows.The house I saw now was obviously very different from the Martinez Family's previous residence. It couldn't be compared by too much class. I realised that the effects of their bankruptcy could have bro
