Lahat ng Kabanata ng HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

SEBASTIAN'S POV After what felt like an eternity, I finally cracked the code. Merely two days of scrutinizing the sales record, I uncovered the culprit behind the chaos. I couldn't believe it was one of my subordinates who had done this, but then again, such is life. We all get betrayed at some point by the people we thought we could trust the most. "Get Martins in here immediately!" I instructed Chris, who had been lingering in my office for direction. "Right away, boss," he replied sedately before dashing out. My hands balled into fists as I gazed at the screen of the computer that reflected my trusted employee's disloyalty and foolishness. Did he seriously think he could get away with stealing without me finding out? My annoyance grew as I awaited the arrival of the traitor. "I'm really sorry, boss." Martins pleaded as he entered my office, immediately facing my wrath. He sank to his knees, begging for my forgiveness and trying to justify the reason he had done what

KRISTINE'S POV.It had been two days since Dave's encounter with Sebastian. Also two days since he'd returned to Puwak City, yet I had barely gotten a hold of him. He hadn't bothered to visit me after his return. He only settled for texting and calling to check up on me at least once a day. Now, I found that unusual, given this was the first time he was behaving this way towards me, especially since I was already accustomed to his usual special treatment whenever he returned from any business trip in the past.Seated behind my desk at the office, my heart ached as I pondered my musings. I couldn't shake off the feeling that Dave might be avoiding me. It all started from the day he had informed me about his bad experience with Sebastian. Ever since then, there's been changes in the way he talked to me.Even though he tried to mask his true feelings whenever we spoke on the phone, I couldn't help but notice the little changes. Like how I could sense he couldn't wait for our conversatio

KRISTINE'S POV.I struggled to break away from his piercing gaze, my heart racing and my throat feeling parched suddenly. I momentarily lost track of everything until Amelia's voice snapped me back to reality."Kris, are you still with me?" It was then that I regained my focus, my gaze wavering as I finally managed to pull away from Sebastian's intense stare.Gosh, that was close.With my heart still pounding in my chest, I tried to steady my voice as I spoke to Amelia. "I'll call you back later, Amelia. I'm already at Mia's school to pick her up.""Since when do you end our calls just to pick up our daughter, Kristine? That's unusual."I swallowed hard, knowing she had seen through me, but I remained undeterred. "I’ll call you back later, okay? Goodbye for now," I replied. She was about to argue, but I quickly disconnected the call, my heart racing as I realized Amelia would be furious I had done that. Yet, I knew she wouldn’t back down until I took action myself.Sighing in frustra

KRISTINE's POV This day marked three days since my last conversation with Dave, where he had spoken to me in such a dull tone that made me question my decision to be with him.Three days since he returned any of my calls or texts, and nearly a week since he'd been ghosting me. I've experienced heartache and sleepless nights that caused me to toss and turn on my bed as I tried to understand where things went wrong.I felt so exhausted and regretted ever getting into a relationship with him in the first place. It hurt. This silent treatment from him was killing me. I feared losing him, knowing if it happened, I'd be forced to repeat past mistakes I so desperately wanted to avoid.Anyways, it was the weekend, a Saturday to be more precise. I had plans to spend time outdoors with Mia that day, considering she had been disturbing me all week that we should visit the park. I was sitting in the living room, waiting for her to finish her meal while I watched her closely. My gaze remained o

KRISTINE's POV "Get over here, mi vida." For some reason, I found those words extremely hot. Perhaps it was the way he had said them, with such a gravelly voice. Maybe, or maybe it was just something else entirely and I was being delusional. Nonetheless, I felt an irresistible urge to get up, as if I had been compelled by his command. Or maybe it could have just been because of my daughter, who was eagerly beckoning me to join them by the swing. Her genial grin was too adorable to ignore, and I certainly didn’t want to dampen her spirits by ignoring her invitation. Hence, I rose from where I sat and made my way towards them. As I approached them, I deliberately avoided his gaze, focusing on my daughter instead, who was now sprinting toward me. "Mama!" She called out, leaping into my arms as I bent down to her level. My heart fluttered with delight. Stroking her hair fondly, I beamed at her. "Are you having a good time, sweetie?" She nodded vigorously, her enthusiasm contagious.
