All Chapters of Ex-Husband Regrets: I Returned with the Man He Killed: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

GET READY FOR MEIn Derek’s study, after the callDerek stared at his phone long after the call had ended.His jaw was tight, his eyes blazing, his entire body trembling with pure rage.Knox had ended the call on him?“Damn!” he snapped, slamming his hand against the desk. The desk shook under the force.“Wow… rude-ass man, huh?” he muttered through clenched teeth.He flung the phone against the wall and began pacing the room, anger radiating from every part of him.If Knox were standing in front of him right now, he would have shifted into his Alpha wolf and torn him apart—ripping through him until nothing but bones remained.“He ended the call on you?” Beta Michael asked, his face etched with surprise. There was something else in his eyes—fear. Fear for Knox, maybe.“Just go! Go away,” Derek barked sharply.“Al—”“Do as I said,” Derek cut in, his voice slicing through the air with raw rage.“Um… alright.” Michael bowed slightly and turned, but had just begun to walk away when Derek’

Melissa’s hand gripped her phone tighter, her teeth clenched hard, her eyes blazing with anger. Her heart pounded fast, almost violently, her emotions clashing inside her—anger, fear, and confusion—all mixed into one overwhelming storm.She reread the text again, slowly this time, like her brain hadn’t fully absorbed it the first time, like it was playing tricks on her, like it refused to accept what she was seeing.Then another message dropped.You now keep secrets, Lisa? I hope this secret is something I’d love to hear, though. Love you. I do care, even if you hate me.Her skin crawled instantly. Disgust settled deep in her chest. Her blood boiled, heat spreading through her body, almost like it was oozing out from her skin. Her ears rang loudly, painfully, like everything around her had gone silent except that noise.She almost threw her phone across the room. Almost.“Get her ready. We are leaving now!” Knox’s rage-filled voice sliced cleanly through her thoughts, sharp and com

Inside the car, Melissa sat with Liam. Her eyes followed where he was pointing.It was Derek. He was looking toward the parking lot. Toward the exact spot where their car was parked.“I think he’s staring at us,” Liam said, gripping the door handle, like something was pulling him toward Knox.Melissa couldn’t say a word. She heard everything Liam said, but her heart was pounding too fast, heat spreading through her body.“I think Uncle Knox’s friend is with that man,” Liam added, glancing at her. “Look—Uncle Knox is walking over to him.”Even though she didn’t want to, Melissa found herself looking in that direction.She saw Derek staring straight at them… like he could see through the tinted windows.She tried to calm her racing thoughts, to pretend she knew nothing, when Knox—walking like a man heading into battle—approached the coffee shop entrance.Then—boom.She saw them collide.A sharp gasp escaped her, almost turning into a scream.“Mom… Mom, are you okay?” Liam asked, tilti

~A FIGHT~Inside the coffee shop was warm; it smelt like coffee and sugar. The interior was luxurious, with expensive tables, cups, and well-dressed people sitting at each table, enjoying their coffee—you could mistake it for heaven.However, the tables were somehow scanty.Knox strolled to the right side of the big building, to a very expensive and secluded corner, where he could have an uninterrupted discussion with Derek.Walking to the table, he noticed a few young ladies whispering among themselves and a lot of eyes staring at him, like he was a foreign substance. He was a hot guy; he knew.Or did they remember him? That was the last thing he wanted. For now.Their stares lingered longer until he sat and was now facing them, and they quickly looked away, blushing.A lady, dressed in an expensive uniform—a crisp white shirt and brown trousers the same colour as coffee—walked up with a smile. It was obvious.“Hello, sir. Good morning,” she beamed. “Welcome to our coffee shop. What

“A God damn asshole!” She spat again, since the other one didn’t carry the impact she wanted.Derek’s jaw clenched, his red eyes quickly drifting to her.“You call me an asshole?” He laughed, like there was something to be amused about.His teeth were on display, like the actual he-goat that he was.“Let me out of this fucking car!” Melissa screamed, hitting the door violently with her body.“You need to be quiet, Lisa. No one is coming for you. You should know that,” Derek said nonchalantly, like she was one of his golden wristwatches at home.“I’m not fucking joking, man!” Her bitter, angry voice grew louder with each word. “I need to go look for my s—” Melissa trailed off when she realized what she was about to reveal to Derek.Derek’s eyes seemed to leave his phone and drift toward her.Her heart skipped.Did he understand? Oh, God.Minutes passed.Derek didn’t say a word after that. He just watched her, his eyes a little red. Maybe he was thinking about how he could get hold of K
