All Chapters of REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Derek stepped out of the conference room, exhausted from the three-hour meeting he had just had.Even though he was tired, there was a smile playing on his lips. He'd succeeded in closing yet another deal again.He was on the winning side as always.His phone buzzed in his pocket as he made his way out of the new company he'd just acquired.Burying his hand in his pocket, he pulled out his phone to check the text message he'd just received.He frowned when he saw that the notification was from his wife back home.He opened his phone about to read it but he was swiftly interrupted by small hands rounding his waist.“Alyssa,” he murmured before turning around to see her.A smile spread across the blonde woman's face.“How did it go?” She asked, her soft and breathy voice, washing over him like a calming balm.“Guess,” Derek smirked.“You got the deal?” “Yes,”He nodded. Alyssa hugged him and then kissed him on his cheek. “I'm so proud of you.”“Why, thank you,”He said, forgetting all

SARA'S POVI woke up the next day to find an empty bed.I sighed as I realized that Derek was gone.He'd fallen asleep last night after showering as if I wasn't there, as if I hadn't asked him for a divorce.With a sigh, I rose from my bed, stretching my tired and stiff limbs for easier mobility then strolled to my daughter’s room. She was still sound asleep.There was a new teddy bear in her room.Derek must have gotten it for her when he'd come home last night.I woke her up for a quick shower, dressed her for the day, and sent her to Mrs Rodriguez downstairs to eat breakfast while I prepared for work.When I was done showering, I dressed up in a pantsuit. Derek always hated it when I wore pants suits or jeans in general. He always said I was using it to get attention and that I was way too curvy to wear clothes like this.I stopped out of respect for him but now that I was leaving him, I was taking back my power, my dignity.Putting one final touch on my makeup, I stood tall and s

SARA'S POVThe next morning, I was back home, already packing my things from the mansion Derek and I shared.It was time I took charge of my life. Besides waiting around for Derek to respond to my request for a divorce seemed like I was giving him the upper hand again when I could easily just get out of his space.I had to take back my dignity, and moving out was my first step.Packing wasn't so difficult. I didn't exactly have much to pack. Ever since I got married to Derek, I had not gotten much for myself. Derek gave me separate allowances for the three of us. But I prefer to spend my money on Derek and Danielle instead. As I was packing my books into a box, I saw the picture of Danielle cutting her birthday cake. She had two missing front teeth and was smiling big. It was a photo from last year, and the cherished memories it held still lingered before my eyes.I brushed my fingers lightly across its surface, then quietly returned it to its place.Now that I’ve chosen to leave, pe

SARA'S POV“What do you think about this?” Alyssa pointed to jewelry, a smile on her lips as she turned to Derek who was standing at her side and asked.Danielle was in their middle, giggling and occasionally pointing out something's too..“Everything looks good on you. C'mon, you don't have to ask.” Derek patiently replied to her, not without tucking a hair behind her ears.“What about this too? Huh? Why don't you try it on?” Danielle pointed with a giggle and Alyssa turned to her with a wide smile, ruffling her hair shortly.“You like it?” Alyssa inquired, her voice dripping with excitement and Danielle gave her a sign to bend which she did without a protest. She must have whispered something funny into her ears because Alyssa burst into smiles after that, picking out the same jewelry Danielle had earlier pointed at.“If Danielle said it'll look enchanting on me, then of course it will. My little princess got the most charming eyes.” She pinched her cheeks. Not hard to gain a wince

SARA'S POV“Do I have to order a microphone? I just asked a question, Sara.” Derek came closer to me and muttered, his eyes glaring daggers at me, his gaze sickening, Infuriating even.“Daddy, I asked mom to stay back and make breakfast tomorrow morning for me.” Danielle explained even before I could say a word. I took in a long breath, then exhaled. “And I just said I had work to do, c'mon Danielle. Your nanny is here to tend to your needs.” I took in a deep breath and for a fleeting moment, there was silence.Danielle stared at Derek, as if communicating with him to ask me to stay back. Derek however, looked conflicted within himself. After what felt like eternity, Derek broke the silence with a light clearing of the throat, then turned to me. “If your daughter asked you to stay and make breakfast for her tomorrow morning, then I think you should. I mean, that's the joy of mothers, don't you think?” he narrowed his gaze at me and I arched my brows.Strange! Everything was strange
