Semua Bab Regretting That a Wish Came True: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Austin Lockhart called as soon as he received the text message from me."Serena Jacobson, you've got it all wrong. I only helped Leticia because she was feeling dizzy from low blood sugar.""Is that so?" I asked faintly. "You must be such a gentleman.""Wait for me in the car. I'll be right back." Austin replied.I then hung up and closed my eyes in the car.A while later, Austin was back. One side of his face still had a pink hue to it, and the corner of his mouth was still bleeding. He probably got bitten by Leticia when he forcefully kissed her or something.I handed him a paper napkin. "The corner of your mouth's bleeding."Austin looked at himself in the mirror and chuckled softly, pretending to be calm."I must have knocked against something just now." This wasn't the first time he was lying to me. He would always give me that sheepish grin whenever he felt guilty about something."Probably against Leticia's teeth. Right?"Austin froze for a second. Then, a little miffe

Austin's face stiffened. He suddenly looked panicked as he asked, "Whose name did I call?"I replied, "You were mumbling. I couldn't tell."His facial muscles relaxed at that. Then, he tried to hug me again. "You couldn't tell? Then how would you know that I wasn't calling your name?"I found it disgusting and avoided him. I couldn't help exposing him again. "I only said that to protect your ego. Don't you think you'd know whose name you were calling?"Austin's face fell. A flash of guilt appeared in his eyes. However, he quickly recovered his senses and frowned at me.He started to chide me. "Serena Jacobson, why are you always so suspicious of other people? You were exactly like this back when Gaby was an intern here. You just have too much free time on your hands, don't you?"Since you've got nothing better to do, why don't you take up a course or something? Don't you dare think that I'll let you get by doing nothing at the company just because you're my wife."That line of h

I had been married to Austin for years, and yet, I never once thought that he could be so shameless as to stoop so low like this.So, he wanted a mistress but refused to bear the title of being a divorcee. He sure knew how to dream big.However, none of these meant anything to me anymore. I was going to divorce him anyway.Austin never came home that entire night.The next morning, Leticia arrived quite late at the office. She looked tired and weary.I had no time to deal with their dirty little affair. I was busy discussing the details of the divorce agreement with my lawyer.Samuel Lawless, my divorce lawyer, told me to meet him at the cafe downstairs so he could pass the documents to me. He then left afterward.I had just thought of returning to the office when Leticia suddenly popped up before me. She slowly lifted the sunglasses from her face and looked at me with red, swollen eyes. It was obvious that she'd been crying. She said, "Serena, I have no other choice left. Ple

Austin wouldn't stop blowing up my phone with calls after I left, so I blocked his number. As soon as my resignation was finalized, I immediately got onboarded at my family's company instead.Our company had just formed a new segment overseas, and there was plenty of work to be done. I was so busy that I barely had time to sit, let alone follow up on the divorce. I just left everything to Sam.Some of my ex-colleagues would occasionally send me text messages, updating me on their company's latest news."The company doesn't feel the same anymore now that you're gone, Serena. It's like we've had a complete overturn of leadership."That Leticia woman just wouldn't stop putting on airs and graces for everyone in the office as if she were the owner. Her behavior is so disgusting."Who does she think she is? Nothing she says holds water. She only knows how to complain about things and dish out nasty scoldings for no reason. She's such a disgrace. A lot of us are thinking of resigning."

Sam sent me some good news three days later.Austin had agreed to sign the papers. However, regarding the two million dollars Leticia owed me, she requested to pay me back in installments.I was fine with that, so I agreed at once.I just needed Austin to agree to the divorce. I was eager to shake both him and Leticia off my tail and start a new life without them.Sam then said, "They've both moved out of your house. How would you like me to deal with it?""Sell it."I had meticulously chosen that house as our home back when I wanted to marry Austin. However, times had changed, especially now.I let Sam handle everything related to the divorce and buried myself in work once more.A while later, my ex-colleague came looking for me."Serena! We've got exciting news for you!""Mr. Lockhart and Leticia are getting married!"I couldn't help smiling when I heard the "exciting" news. I replied, "That's good."They continued, "What's good about that? Leticia seemingly got hold of s
