All Chapters of Ex-fiance's regret: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

DIANA“My what??” I gasped turning to the man standing across the street with wide eyes. “Your bodyguard.” He repeated like it wasn’t something out of the world.“You hired a bodyguard?” I turned back, and my mouth parted. “Why?” “To ensure you’re safe when I’m not there to protect you.” He said plainly.“I don’t need protection!” I scoffed, my brows drawing together.“You have people stalking you.” He stated. “You In fact do need protection.”“It was just one person, and he was just a journalist.” I shook my head, rubbing my forehead as I leaned back in my seat.“And what if he wasn’t?” He retorted. I rolled my eyes glancing out the window again - he was still there, staring.“But he was,” I stressed, looking away from him. “Having a bodyguard isn’t necessary.”“It is.” His voice was firm.“You’re overreacting.” I purse my lips.“Until you get hurt?” He scoffed through the line. “I won’t let that happen.”“One day, all this talk about us will die down, and people will lose interes

DIANA A fire blazed in the pits of my belly as his lips touched mine. It burned in ways I had never felt before… it was a flame I would willingly give my soul on a platter to be consumed by, completely. The taste of his lips had an undertone of the sweetness from the champagne, somehow the champagne tasted better on his lips, like a new mixture had been created… something divine, not of this earth. And I would devour that mixture like it was the potion to heal this painful hunger inside me… because it was. I gave into his touch as my body melted into his arms, obeying his every command. His hand rested on the small of my back pulling me closer to him, incinerating the little distance between us, till all that separated us was the fabric on our bodies, begging to be ripped off. His grip on my neck tightened and a gasp escaped my lips as they part, giving way for his warm tongue to break through and intertwine with mine. My hands wandered to his broad back, my nails

DIANA I could not believe the words that just came out of this man’s mouth. “You just bought this house?” I repeated like I hadn’t heard him.“Yes.” He stared at me like I was the weird one.Like he didn’t just buy a house for a date!I laughed, looking at him expectantly, waiting for him to laugh as well and tell me he was joking. But the laughter died down when all he did was cock a brow as he watched me. He was serious.I stole a glance at the house again, The looming pillars and shining lass windows seemed to stare back at me in irony. This house was massive.I wasn’t exaggerating.“Why would you buy a house??” I gasped, staring at him with parted lips.“I didn’t think you’d be comfortable in a hotel.” So this man bought a house on a whim, because he thought I’d be uncomfortable at a hotel?“You’re unbelievable.” I shook my head at him, my lips rising in a disbelieving smile.He smirked and took me by the hand, leading me into the house, and my jaw almost reached the ground

DIANA I stared with slightly parted lips as he walked off, his entire figure on edge.Did I say something wrong? I didn’t think so.All I said was that his company was the biggest, and it wasn’t a lie.I didn’t move for a moment, before pushing my chair back as I stood, rushing after him with furrowed brows. He had walked out to the deck on our left, his knuckled white as he gripped the rail tightly, his head down.“Did I say something wrong?” I slowed as I reached him, standing next to him in hesitation.“You knew my company months before now.” He lifted his head, but he was staring at the lake straight ahead. “Yes… ” My frown deepened. “I don’t understand what the problem is..”“So why’d you act like you didn’t know me?” He turned to me now, standing straighter, and I nearly took a step back with how hard his gaze was.“What are you talking about?” I stared at him, my forehead creasing. “When we first met-” he began, his jaw clenched. “You pretended like you didn’t know who I w

DIANA It didn’t take long before we reached the house, or maybe it did - I was too lost in my thoughts to notice.The driver opened the door for us and as usual, Mr Leota held his hand out for me, and helped me out of the car. I gave him a tight smile as he led me into the house, his hand firm on my waist, like he was afraid I’d leave and end up in the water again. He placed me on the couch gently, “Wait here.” He said and went into the kitchen. I clasped my hands together tightly as my mind raced. Why would someone try to kill me?I mean, I understood people stalking me, taking pictures of me. But murder?? That is not something I envisioned would happen. Mr Leota came out of the kitchen with a mug in hand, walking over and sitting next to me. “Here,” he said, handing me the mug in his hands, the smell of coffee immediately hitting me. “Thank you.” I gave him a small smile, and I took a sip of the coffee. It burnt my tongue a little, but I didn’t mind. I was freezing, the he
