All Chapters of Regret After Wife Wants Divorce : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Hurry up, Tania! If you take too long, your grandma might fall asleep before you get there!” Vania called out, laughing from the front door.Tania jogged over with her teddy bear clutched in her arms. “I’m ready, Mama! Daddy’s ready too, right?”Devandra appeared from the garage door, car keys in hand and a smile on his face. “I’ve been ready, Miss Tania. Let’s go on an adventure!”Tania squealed excitedly. Vania ruffled her daughter’s hair, chuckling. The morning felt light and peaceful. The air was cool, the sky clear, and birds chirped melodiously—like the day was destined to become a beautiful memory.As they locked the front door, Vania glanced at Devandra. “You sure you want to drive all the way to Cirebon?”“Absolutely. I need a long trip with you and Tania. Besides, maybe I’ll get the chance to make you fall for me again along the way,” Devandra said with a playful smirk.“Oh, are you flirting with me now?”“Always.”---The car slowly pulled out of the neighborhood. Tania sa

“That’s him! Stop the video right there! Zoom in on his face!”Vania’s voice was firm, laced with both urgency and panic. She stood in the police department’s digital forensics room, alongside Inspector Raka and two IT officers. Her eyes were fixed on the large screen playing the CCTV footage from the auto shop where Devandra usually got his car serviced.The playback slowed down. A man wearing a cap and a dark gray jacket entered the service area while the mechanics were on break. He walked swiftly toward Devandra’s car, popped the hood open… and vanished from the frame in less than three minutes.“Can you enhance his face?” Vania asked, her breath caught in her throat.The technician zoomed in on the man's face. Though partly obscured by shadows and his cap, the sharp jawline and crooked nose were all too familiar to Vania.“That’s Reno…” she whispered. “I’m sure it’s Reno…”Inspector Raka turned to her. “You know him?”“He used to work for Lyra. Her personal bodyguard. But he’s mor

“Please hang on, Dev… don’t leave me…”Vania’s voice was barely a whisper, nearly drowned out by the steady beeping of the heart monitor. She sat on a small chair beside the hospital bed, clutching Devandra’s cold, unmoving hand. Her eyes were swollen from crying, her hair a mess, but she didn’t care. She had been in that ICU room for three days and nights, barely sleeping.Devandra’s body lay motionless, his face pale, an oxygen tube attached to his nose, and bandages covering part of his head. He was still in a coma, though the doctor had said that morning there was a slight neurological response—a sign he might be recovering, however slowly.“I know this is exhausting, Miss Vania. But the patient needs time.”A nurse’s voice broke the silence as she entered to check the monitors. Vania turned her head slowly and gave a silent nod.“I’m staying right here,” she said softly. “I won’t leave him.”The nurse gave her a gentle smile, then left, letting the stillness return to the cold IC

“The last coordinates pinged in the Argani Mountains. Local police say there’s a hidden villa up there, not listed on any official maps,” Adrian explained, eyes locked on the glowing laptop screen mounted on the SUV dashboard.Vania gripped her seatbelt tightly, trying to calm the storm inside her chest. The SUV sped through the dense pine forest, followed closely by two unmarked police vehicles.“She thinks she can hide at the edge of the world? I’ll still find her,” Vania muttered, her jaw clenched.Adrian glanced at her.“You sure you want to go all the way in? If Lyra’s desperate—”“I have to face her, Adrian. This isn’t just about Devandra. This is about every wound and every ounce of hate she’s planted for years.”Adrian nodded slowly, unable to argue. The fire in Vania’s eyes could burn down anyone who dared stop her.---Moments later, they arrived at an old iron gate hidden behind thick trees. One of the officers got out and unchained the loosely locked entrance. Vania’s vehi

“Let her go, Lyra! This is your last chance to surrender!” Adrian shouted from behind the pillar, gun raised, eyes locked on the pistol in Lyra’s shaking hand.“One more step and I’ll shoot her!” Lyra screamed, her arm trembling as she pulled Vania tighter into her unhinged grip.Vania tried to stay calm. Cold sweat dripped down her temple, but her gaze remained sharp.“You don’t want to do this, Lyra. This isn’t who you are.”“You don’t know who I really am, Vania. You only saw the sweet side of me back then. But now? I’m someone the world destroyed—the world you stole from me!”Lyra’s grip tightened on the gun, her eyes wild. The police and Adrian began to spread out, searching for an opening.In that tense second, a soft breeze drifted through the half-open window. Dry leaves fluttered in, as if nature itself held its breath at the scene unfolding.“You’re going to lose everything, Lyra. You’ll never be free,” Vania whispered softly.“If I have to lose, then so will you!”BANG!A s
