บททั้งหมดของ Too Late To Regret Divorcing Me: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

(Laura’s POV).Few days later, I was seated at a table set for two in a fine dining French restaurant. Facing a balcony overlooking a river, it felt as if I was on a romantic date with my date not arriving on time.I sighed and reached for my glass of wine to calm my nerves. “A**hole”, I mumbled those words thinking about the man who refused to deal with my representative in offering to buy my family’s mansion back.He wanted to deal with me, in person.And then, he made me wait.“Hello, Miss Knight. Enchante (Nice to meet you)” he stood next to me and held my hand gently, giving it a soft kiss. That quick touch of his lips on my hand sent shivers on my skin.I looked up and saw a handsome man wearing a casual white shirt and blue jeans looking down at me with a smile flashing his perfectly aligned teeth. He could be dressed in rags and still look like a model walking out from a magazine.He winked at me before taking a seat opposite me and placed a bouquet of flowers on the table wh

(Authors’ POV).It was just few hours left before the most anticipated party held by the Heiress of Knight Corporation was going to happen. In the bedroom of a luxurious suite at Blooming Hotel, Carla opened her eyes and realised her face was rested on a familiar hard chest of a handsome man.She lifted her head and saw his handsome face came to light. ‘F*ck! I slept with Mark, the waiter from Sebastian Café’, Carla thought and sighed in frustration.She was feeling the need for sex the night before but never expected her one night stand to be with Mark, again. He was good in bed, definitely. But, being seen with Mark would tarnish her reputation.‘I must have been drunk last night’, she thought and realised it must have been after realising she was not invited to her cousin’s welcoming party. Carla felt insulted and embarrassed to explain to her rich friends on why she was not invited to attend a family event.Sitting up while wrapping her naked body with the quilt cover, she shook

(Laura’s POV).I might have looked calm and confident standing on the podium talking to hundreds of corporate leaders with deep pockets. I looked fearless. I looked strong.And definitely, beautifully dressed for the occasion.But, what I truly felt at that moment was totally the opposite.I needed to hide the old Laura and unleash my true potential. I’m the new President of Knight Corporation. The face of my huge company with thousands of employees that looked up to me. Hoping for me to succeed.Seeing the faces of those who were on my side and those who believed the lies that Carla had spread to them, I knew I needed to convince them all to believe my story. I will be the one in control of the situation.I would never be that same girl who would just let Carla push me around like I was a coward. Not anymore. I will fight back!At that thought, I smiled.Seeing Calvin, made me happy. He was a darling. While we were dancing to a slow music, he showed me his good side that I had come

(Laura’s POV).I had to leave. The mistake I made was not reversible.What I did to Carla was not part of my plan. I needed to fix it as my reputation was at stake. But, not tonight.I had to leave. He was chasing after me.I did not need eyes on the back of my head to feel his presence coming towards me.Urrgghh.. stupid man!As I walked out from the event, there were reporters flashing their cameras taking pictures of my face after I successfully pushed my cousin into the waters. I did not even try to help her.She deserved it but of course, they won’t understand.For many years, Carla pretended to be the better fake version of her showing how good she was as compared to me. She belittled me in public and made me feel like I did not deserve to be the named Heiress of Knight Corporation.But, that was in the past. I was taking back the throne. I will win this war.“Miss President, what happened between you and Miss Carla Knight?”“Miss President, how long have you known about Carla

(Laura’s POV).The next day, I took a flight to visit my maternal grandparents. Henry had informed me that my grandmother was unwell. It was a perfect timing for me to place a distance between myself and Calvin.After that passionate kiss we had, I had pushed him away and in a reflex, I slapped his cheeks hard. It was unintentional. The slap was not supposed to be that hard.He had the audacity of saying I was giving him hints that I wanted him to kiss me. That had angered me more and I chased him out from my office room.Since then, Calvin had not stopped trying to apologise to me of his behaviour. There were numerous calls from him and gifts sent to my office and home.I just could not face him. His presence made me uncomfortable and nervous.Walking at the street in a small town in Tuscany, I smiled while happy memories of my mother and I came back to my mind. I loved coming back to her hometown and loved seeing my jovial relatives who had always treated me good.Henry informed me
