บททั้งหมดของ Too Late To Regret, Ex Husband : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Judy’s POVThe turbulence was unlike what I’d seen before. It lasted for twenty long minutes and in all of these times, I was in Lucas’ arms. It was not a moment I chose, but one I had no control over.The entire cabin shook violently, forcing every thought out of my mind except survival itself. Nothing else mattered in that moment except staying alive and avoiding impact.When Lucas pulled me into his arms, I knew it. I was already going to hit it. My head on the wall.There was no time to adjust, no space to think clearly, only the immediate danger of collision.That could be dangerous. If care was not taken, I could hit the plane window, it could crack and the breeze would hit in.If that happens, it is very disastrous, the plane could crash. We would die.I cannot let that happen. So I stayed right in his arms. He seemed to be able to know how to navigate this better than I can do. I remained there until the turbulence was over.In that moment, even though I hated admitting it, he

Lucas’ POV“Lucas…the baby… the baby… why didn’t you come for me?”I heard it out of the blue and my heart dropped heavily in my chest.The voice was weak, almost broken, yet every word struck me deeply.For a second, I thought I was imagining things.Five hours ago, Judy had spread a blanket on the floor beside the fireplace and slept there without even sparing me a second glance.The distance between us inside this room was not just physical. It was emotional too. Cold. Heavy. Suffocating.She had already made it clear that my plan to talk things out with her tonight had failed before it even started.So I stayed on the bed, hoping that before we returned to Colorado, she would somehow give me a chance to explain myself. A chance to ask the questions burning inside my chest.A chance to know if she was truly Judy.The Judy I once married.And not Lexeis Kingspin like she claimed.But now, in the middle of the night, hearing her whisper those painful words in her sleep, something ins

Judy’s POVThe second my eyes slipped shut again, I saw it.That same dream.And deep down, I instantly knew this was no ordinary sleep. I was dreaming inside another dream.The cold realization settled heavily in my chest as the scenery formed around me.I was back in the desert.Only this time, everything felt different. The terrifying reptiles were gone. The dangerous insects that once crawled around the burning sand had disappeared completely. The desert no longer looked threatening. It looked... peaceful. Quiet. Almost beautiful beneath the golden sunset stretching endlessly across the horizon.Lucas stood several feet away from me, dressed in black trousers and a white shirt that danced softly with the desert wind. His gaze locked onto mine immediately, intense and familiar enough to make my chest tighten.Then slowly, he smiled.Not the cold business smile he used around people. Not the arrogant billionaire smirk that made women lose their minds.This smile was soft. Real.Painf

Claire’s POV“Claire?”Lucas’ voice came out shocked the very second he opened the door and saw me standing there.His eyes widened immediately, like the last person he expected to see in this private mountain resort was me.“How did you...”“SLAP!”My hand collided heavily against his face before he could even complete the stupid question.The sharp sound echoed across the luxurious suite instantly.Lucas staggered half a step sideways from the impact before turning back to look at me in complete disbelief.For a few seconds, nobody moved.Not Lucas.Not Judy.Not even me.Because even I could hardly believe what I had just done.I had never slapped Lucas before.Never.In all the years of our marriage, I had never even thought of raising my hand against him. No matter how badly we argued. No matter how frustrated he made me sometimes.But this?This was different.He had pushed me beyond my limit.How could he do this to me?Leave me alone in Colorado while secretly lodging another w

Lucas POVI watched as Judy stepped into the elevator and the door glided closed gently and softly.A strange stillness filled the hallway the moment she disappeared from my sight.Before she had stepped into the elevator, I had already seen it in her eyes. The disappointment. The anger, the madness. And unless I were a fool, I could easily put the puzzle together that she was not happy with whatever Claire just did.So I stepped back into the room. I sat on the edge of the bed.For a long moment, I just stared at the empty doorway.I had been trying to get Judy to look at me again. I had been trying for her to be that woman who loved me endlessly again. But now, Claire had ruined it all.I clenched my fist.If she were not my wife and if the remote cause of all this were not me who had believed the silly lies that she told, I knew what I would have done to her.But that was the problem, was it not? Claire was my wife. And I was the fool who trusted her.I rose back to my feet. I pace
