Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Regret: Winning Back Her Heart: Kabanata 261 - Kabanata 270

Marietta’s POV“Are you joking right now?” I flinched, turning towards Clara.“It’s just a deal…” Clara scratched the back of her neck, accompanied by a shrug.“And since you don’t have any feelings for him anymore. Why don’t we strike a deal with him? And use it to our advantage?” She continued with a smirk on her face.I know that look. Clara wasn’t just here to sign deals. There’s something she is not saying.“Am I missing out on something?” I locked my eyes with hers for a moment. I sighed, “Please, can you give us a moment?” The driver took off his seat belt and dashed out of the car. No sooner was he out than I turned towards Clara. “Who broke your heart?” I knew I had to ask this question before we find ourselves in front of Michael. I knew it wouldn’t make sense if Clara is going overboard while I’m just staring like a dummy who’s being controlled.“No one did,” She lied, avoiding my eyes. “Lies.” Bringing her face closer to mine. “We had too much to drink last night. A

Marietta’s POV“What now?” I swallowed hard, my eyes glued to Clara as she walked toward the police van.She turned slightly, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “Are you coming or not?” she asked.I blinked at her, confused. “To where?” My hands lifted slightly, palms up in question. I had no idea what she meant.Clara’s smile didn’t falter. “We’re not done yet. There’s something you need to do at the station.” So you’re coming with us, boss.” She gave a small bow of her head, half playful, half serious.I still didn’t fully understand what she was getting at. But something in her tone made me feel it was okay to follow. Maybe I needed to.This… this wasn’t how I thought things would turn out. Not for me and Michael.He couldn’t win my heart. Not now. Not after everything.But there was still someone I had to fight for.Someone I couldn’t—wouldn’t—let go.Aiden.At the station, Clara made a quick call, and not long after, Fredrick walked in—my former lawyer.I blinked i

Marietta’s POV“Where are you going?” Albert held me by the hand, his blue eyes gazing into mine.“Let me go. What is wrong with you?!” I flinched, careful not to allow anyone to see us.“I said, we will see tomorrow. What part don’t you get?” I yanked my hand off.As much as I don’t know why Albert had walked back into my life. Even though he had come on the grounds of getting his inheritance back. But why does it seem like he wanted something other than his inheritance?“Let this be the last time you’ll reach out to me like this,” I warned, and he cooed.Taking his hand off me slowly, I raised my gown and ran out of his sight. Aiming in the direction Aiden had gone, I searched for him. Maybe this could help me penetrate him, since he wasn’t with his wife. I don’t know how Lena had possibly found her way back into his life, but I know she must have done something very bewitching.I remembered how Aiden had sent her away the last time. Claiming that he didn’t own the pregnancy ins

Marietta's POV My heart leapt with joy, but also fear. Fear of uncertainty. But Aiden has given me his all. He had made me know that all I had to do was to take his hand. I don't need to be scared. He has proven to me in a few ways that he was different from Michael. Obviously, by age, Michael was older. But by thinking and in knowledge, why do I find him so intelligent that Michael? I inhaled deeply as I watched him bring out a diamond ring. With the way the diamond ring had glistered in the dark, accompanied by the moon's light, I could tell it was very expensive. “My mother gave it to me,” Aiden narrated, his eyes never leaving the hospital ward where his mother was lying. “Your mother?” “Yes. She made me know that when I'm ready. And when I meet the woman of my dreams. The one my heart beats for. Then I can let her have it,” he added.Still raising the ring for me to have a clear view, he waited patiently. “If you want to think about it, it's fine. You have all the time

Marietta’s POVMichael finally signed the divorce papers.For a moment, I felt relief. Like I could breathe again. Like I was finally done with Michael Whitmore—and the storm that came with him.But oddly, I wasn’t happy.“I’ll be leaving now,” Clara’s voice came from behind me, soft but certain. I quickly turned off my phone, caught off guard.I blinked rapidly, trying to swallow the tears that had been threatening to spill even before she walked in. But it was too late. She saw them.“You’re… leaving?” I asked, my voice cracking into a whisper.Since Bella’s wedding, she has been distant. I understood. She had a new life now, a husband to care for. I had once been like that—pouring all of myself into Michael. My time. My love. My everything.And yet, he still chose Katty over me.That chapter was closed now, or at least, I wanted it to be. I wasn’t planning to revisit the pain.“Yes,” Clara nodded, her smile fragile as she stepped closer. “My mother’s ill again. She needs me.”
