All Chapters of The Ex-wife He Regrets Losing!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

MABEL “Worthwhile, you say?” He scoffed and walked towards his desk. I took a look around and I couldn't help but dazzle at the downfall of a man so powerful as Mr. Lane. The room itself was plain. White lights buzzed overhead, shining down on desks cluttered with papers, ashtrays, and half-finished cups of coffee. A faint gaze still lingered in the air, as if someone had smoked not too long ago. Mr. Lane walked behind the desk and sat down heavily on his chair. His stomach pushed against his shirt button, showing how big it is. His bald head gleamed under the light. The sight in front of me was too funny not to notice and I almost betrayed myself by laughing instead I smiled. “So, what can I do for you Ms. James?” He asked and I smiled. “Oh good, you remembered my name,” I said as I walked towards the desk. “You barged in here telling you are going to make it worthwhile…so…,” he clapped his head. “You can sit,” he said. I looked around, wondering where specifically he was

MABEL“What the hell?” I looked at her stunned. “I'm having a meeting with my staff, you are welcome to join.”“You have no right to be here,” she said with gritted teeth.“You have no right to talk to her that way at all,” Rose said, standing beside me. Hailey turned to look at her, picking her up with a glare in her eyes.“I got this Rose,” I said and then looked at Hailey. “But like she said, you have no right to speak to me that way,” she scoffed.“If you can't have a civil conversation, well,” I clapped my hands together and pointed at the door. “There's the door.”“You can't do this. You…..”“Does Ethan know that you are here?” I asked her and my eyes flicked and I smiled. “I thought so.”“It doesn't matter, both of us aren't going to stand for this,” she said bitterly.“I'm sorry, what exactly aren't you going to stand for. Because I'm already CEO and you are just what?” I asked her.“Hmmm?” I sighed. “A board member with little to no shares at all.”“You don't know me,” she sa

MABEL“Come on, Mabel, come on,” I muttered to myself. “Come on, you got this!”“Uhm, Mabel, it's going to be really weird if we don't go in,” Rose said. “Especially with the way that camera has been looking at us for the past ten minutes.”“It's the job of the camera to look at us, Rose,” I said as I drove into the estate.“Some of them shoot lasers,” she said and I laughed.“Lasers, really?” I asked her as I parked in front of one of the buildings in the estate.“Yes, some of them do shoot lasers. It's a real thing, Mabel. Don't knock it till you try it,” she said and I looked at her.“Try a camera shooting laser?” I chuckled looking at her. “You can't be serious.”Rose folded her arms. “I’m serious. Technology is wild these days.”“Uh-huh,” I said, shaking my head as I stepped out of the car. “Next thing you’ll tell me is that the mailbox here can walk.”She gasped. “You think they don’t?”I rolled my eyes, trying not to laugh. “Rose, focus. We’re not here to talk about walking mai

MABELI raced down the stairs and out of the building with hot tears following down my cheeks as I ran.I didn't stop until I got behind the wheels of my car. If Rose hadn't arrived a minute later I would have left her. Thankfully I didn't, because that would have raised a lot of suspicious questions. I turned on the ignition and drove out of the estate as fast as I could without breaking a lot. After a whole five minutes of driving out of the estate I stood by the side of the room and exhaled.“Oh my God!” I let the tears that I have been holding out. Crying heavily in the car, beside Rose. I know it was weird with her in the car and me crying. But I couldn't help myself. If I didn't get this out of my system it would fester and grow into something uncontrollably and I wouldn't be able to stop myself from doing anything bad.“Why did this have to happen to me?” I cried out, shaking. “Why did the universe pick me to do this too? It hurts, it hurts so much,” I kept saying and cry

MABELWe got to Vanessa’s estate, and instead of the main house, we were directed to another part of the building.The place was pure luxury, white marble floors, gold-trimmed doors, tall glass windows letting in the sun. Beautiful, but not new to me. I’d seen plenty of houses like this, maybe even grander.Still, I could tell this wasn’t just money thrown around. Everything was carefully picked. The art on the walls, the chandeliers that glittered like falling stars, the furniture placed with a designer’s eye. Vanessa wanted this space to say something about her.“Hi, Ladies,” Rose and I heard Vanessa's voice and we looked up ahead.“Wow, this is amazing, Ms. Latham,” Rose said, drooling massively at the sights in front of her.“Oh please, I'm not that old and thank you,” she said as she got close to us.“You have a good eye for details, Vanessa. Everything is just,”“Me?” She cuts me off and I nodded. “Exactly my choice of words,” I said and she laughed. “Well as much as I enjoy t
