Semua Bab His regret; Too late to love me now ex-husband: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Layla's POV.I tried my best to stay sane; I had walked around my apartment aimlessly, moving from one room to another without purpose, hoping that somehow, movement would quiet the storm inside my head. I had tried distracting myself with work, opening my laptop only to stare blankly at the screen, unable to focus long enough to complete a single thought. I had even tried sleeping, lying on my bed with my eyes closed, willing my mind to shut down, but it had only made things worse, because in the darkness, everything became clearer.Every single detail from that video.The fact that he had known all along, but said nothing, not even a signal of some sort.Now, there's this pregnancy.My hand drifted unconsciously to my stomach again, resting there lightly, as though I still couldn’t quite believe it was real.“I can’t do this alone…” I whispered softly, my voice barely audible in the quiet space.I had already chosen to.A shaky breath left my lips as I pushed myself off the bed, gra

Layla's POV.I stepped out of the hospital after few hours of consultation and routine checkup with the doctor; and thankfully everything was fine with the baby. Exhausted and slightly dizzy, I exhaled slowly, stepping onto the pavement as I glanced around for my driver, my brows knitting together slightly when I didn’t see him anywhere in sight.“Where is he?” I muttered under my breath, pulling my phone out instinctively before remembering...It was still switched off.Because of him.Because of that call.I hadn't gathered enough courage to switch it back on, what if he calls with a different number again?I clenched my jaw slightly, pushing the thought away before it could take root again, before it could drag me back into that place I had barely managed to crawl out of.“No,” I whispered to myself, shaking my head faintly. “Not now.”I slipped the phone back into my bag and crossed my arms lightly, shifting my weight as I continued to wait, my patience thinning with every passin

Layla's POV.It's been one month.Although it could sound small to anyone else, significant even.But for me, it had been everything.It had been the distance between who I used to be and who I was slowly becoming. It had been sleepless nights filled with planning, days buried in paperwork, meetings that took hours, and decisions that felt terrifying and exhilarating all at once.It had been one month of choosing myself.And standing in front of the building now…I could feel it.Every second of it.I stepped out of the car, my eyes lifting slowly, taking in the structure in front of me with a kind of happiness that settled deep into my chest.It was beautiful.Not just in the obvious way... the sleek design, the modern glass panels reflecting the sky above, but in a deeper way.Because this…This was mine.Not my family’s, not inherited or handed over.Mine.Built from an idea that had once felt like nothing more than a desperate attempt to distract myself from heartbreak.And now...

Liam had become one of the top rising business men setting the pace in London.His company, although still fresh, had begun to carve its name into spaces that older, more established corporations had spent years trying to dominate. What started as a bold decision to walk away from his family’s empire and build something of his own, had quickly transformed into something far more powerful than anyone, including himself, had anticipated.Because Liam wasn’t just building a company.He was chasing something.Or rather...Someone.Adrian leaned back in his chair, a small smile spreading across his face as he tapped the document lightly.“Well,” he said, exhaling as though releasing weeks of anticipation, “I guess that makes it official.”He had just signed a partnership deal with Liam's company.Liam stood by the window, his hands tucked into his pockets, his gaze fixed on the city below, though it was clear his mind was somewhere else entirely.“Yeah,” he replied simply.Adrian studied h

Layla's POV.I sat behind my desk, flipping through a set of documents, my body was beginning to adjust gradually to the rhythm of this new life I was building piece by piece. A soft knock suddenly came on the door.“Come in,” I said without looking up immediately.The door opened gently, and my assistant stepped in.“Ma’am,” she said, “there’s someone here to see you.”I paused, lifting my gaze to meet hers.“Do they have an appointment?” I asked.She hesitated for just a second.“No,” she admitted. “But she insisted you asked her to come.”My brows knit slightly. “She?” I repeated.“Yes,” she nodded.Something clicked almost instantly.And before she even said another word...I knew who it was.“Let her in,” I said calmly.My assistant nodded and stepped out, closing the door softly behind her.For a brief moment, I leaned back in my chair, exhaling slowly, my fingers tapping lightly against the desk as I waited.A part of me..A very small, cautious part had wondered if she would
