All Chapters of My Ex-Fiancé's Regret: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Genevieve’s eyes started to itch the moment she saw Alex picking up his clothes from the floor. There was anger mixed with sadness in his eyes as he got dressed. When he was done, he walked straight out of the kitchen, and it made her chest feel heavy. She did not know why it hurt so much. Maybe she had hoped he would stay and say something, anything. But the moment she heard him slam the front door behind him, something broke inside her.The tears she had been trying to hold back finally poured down her face. She sank to the floor, leaned her back against the kitchen cupboard, covered her face with her hands, and cried without control.She did not understand why she felt like such a mess. Deep down, she was sure she had made the right decision. There was nothing to regret, at least that was what she kept telling herself. Gennie did not know how long she cried for. Time passed as she sat there crying until her phone started ringing and pulled her out of her thoughts. Sniffling and wip

“Yeah, but in a good way. I get to take a short break from being a full-time mum,” she chuckled lightly.“I miss you. It’s been so long since we did something fun together. Work’s just been crazy. I’m really sorry about that.”“It’s okay. I get it,” Gennie said softly.“But I promise, I’ll make it up to you when I get back.”“I’m looking forward to that. Can’t wait to catch up.”“Take care of yourself, and sleep well, alright? We’ll talk tomorrow. I love you!”“Love you too.” Gennie’s voice shook a little as she ended the call with her brother.She set the phone down on the counter she had been leaning on, lowered her head into her hands, and then dragged her fingers through her hair, sighing deeply. Her mind was full, thinking about what still needed to be done and what the rest of the night held.Just then, the sound of the doorbell rang out.She frowned. It was so late, she almost thought she imagined it. No one should be at her door at this hour, especially with the security aroun

"You are just joking, are you not?""I am being serious. I think you need something to help take your mind off everything that happened tonight.""Besides, when was the last time you went to the club? This is the perfect time, trust me.""I am not in the mood, Lucy.""I look really awful. I do not even think I have anything nice to wear, and the marks on my neck... She sighed. "I do not like wearing sweats, but I guess I have to stick to them for the next few days.""I do not feel like going anywhere. Why should I go to the club when I can just stay home, drink, and feel miserable on my own?""But I am not even in the mood to drink. I just want to cry myself to sleep."Lucy nodded slowly. "If you feel this hurt, there must be a reason.""A reason for what?""It is fine to say you want nothing to do with Alex. It is okay to convince yourself that walking away is the best choice, but is that truly how you feel?""Do you not think that part of why you are hurting so much is because some

Alex laughed softly. "I am not trying to flatter you. I truly believe you look beautiful in everything, your club uniform, your office outfits, and now this sundress."He nodded towards the dress she was slipping on. Her hair was down, her makeup gone, and her small sling bag hung across her shoulder."Whatever," Bessie said casually as she walked into the suite and headed straight for the seating area.She looked around briefly before sitting down on the couch. "This is a nice place," she said under her breath.Alex followed her to the table nearby. He picked up the wine, opened it, and poured it into two glasses. Handing her one, she accepted it with a quiet "Thank you," and he took the other glass before sitting beside her.Bessie took a small sip of the wine, then turned to face him. "Are you really leaving tomorrow?""Yes," he replied.She narrowed her eyes at him. "Why do you always act like this?""What do you mean?" he asked, his expression turning serious."We made a plan

"Back then, all I had to do was snap my fingers and sons would come running," Alex said with a dry laugh. "But Gennie... she wasn’t like the others. I saw her almost every day, yet she didn’t try to flirt or get my attention." He paused, frowning. "I started wondering, was I losing my charm? Why wasn’t she into me? I didn’t know what was going on or how to handle it." "I couldn’t even talk to my friends about it. I had a name to protect." Alex let out a long breath. "She really put me through a lot." Bessie laughed softly. "So what did you do?" "You won’t believe this, I spent hours on YouTube watching how-to videos on winning a son’s heart." "You didn’t!" Bessie burst out laughing. "Oh, I did," he grinned, shaking his head. "It sounds ridiculous now, but when you really like someone, it changes you." "I tried everything I could think of. Honestly, I almost gave up. But the thought of someone else having her? That kept me going." "It took months before she agreed to go out
