All Chapters of My Ex Husband's Greatest Regret : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Caroline Thompson Aka Mrs Lockwood “It’s so good that you came. For a second, I was beginning to worry that you might not show up,” Caroline said as she leaned toward the velvet chair in the private lounge of Lulu’s Five-Star Restaurant. She had chosen this place carefully, her new favorite spot where the soft lighting and elegant décor always soothed her cravings during this late stage of pregnancy. She saw it listed on Peter's schedules and immediately checked it out. The entire private lounge was reserved just for them...or so she had thought. But Peter Lockwood, her husband of three years, hadn’t come alone. He arrived with Cerene, her blonde twin sister with dimples to die for, leaning heavily on his arm. Cerene looked frail and pitiful as always, her pale skin almost translucent under the warm lights, her eyes watery with unshed tears.

Alex staggered back, blood already staining his lip, while guests gasped and Cerene let out a pitiful whimper, clutching her chest dramatically. I tried to reach for Alex, but Peter was faster. His hand clamped around my arm like a vice, dragging me away from the lights and music of Cerene’s birthday party into the dimly lit side hallway of the venue.“Peter, stop!

The old pain from labor and the bone marrow extraction flared up with every step, but it was nothing compared to the fresh agony twisting in my chest.He didn’t say a word until we were alone. Then he spun me around and pinned me against the cool wall, his body pressing close, trapping me completely. His breath was hot on my face, eyes blazing with fury and something darker, more desperate. The air between
