Instead, she just sat there, looking defeated. "I've always known he didn't love me," she said quietly. "Greg made that clear the night before he left. I felt worthless like I would never measure up or be enough for him or any man. But what hurt the most was realizing that he didn't care about his children - our children - because they came from me. He found a new wife, started a new family, and wanted nothing to do with us. I held onto the hope that he would change his mind one day; after all, you've met my kids. They're amazing little humans who have thrived despite everything. But now I know my ex-husband will never know them through no fault of his own," Rei's voice turned cold and angry

For several seconds, neither of us moved. He stared at me as if he had just seen someone who was supposed to be dead. I stared back at him, my heart suddenly beating harder than it had all day. The room felt smaller. Every memory I had tried to bury came rushing back at once. Riven. My husband. H ex-husband.

“The old me was single-minded about stabilizing WS Group, obsessed with expanding it as quickly as possible. I wanted to prove myself to those founding shareholders who looked down on me and silence all the doubters. I admit, I was too competitive back then. My eyes were fixed only on the company and work, neglecting the person I should have cherished most… you.” “Truthfully, I think the old you was outstanding in every aspect except as a husband,” I said sincerely. “So don’t let our failed marriage make you dismiss everything else about yourself.” He smiled wryly. “Scarlett, you don’t need to comfort me. Back then I was either emotionally clueless or just too self-centered. Now I regret it.

“Look, Rach, Darius is your husband now; he deserves to know how much of a threat Andrew is being. He must handle his nephew before we take serious action. “But you know that can’t be possible, not after we get the stolen shares. Dad had specifically warned me, and you know I had let him down once by marrying Andrew; I don’t want to do that again…. I owe him this much, I reason. “You’re right, but I can’t help but want—“ She is cut off by her phone ringing. I walked to the bathroom, deciding to freshen up. As I turned on the shower, the warm water cascading on my body, my lips quivered as I broke into sobs. I miss Andrew so much that it hurts. I miss the man he used to be, the one I fell in

Instead, she said, “Regret is only useful if it changes the person carrying it.” Then she opened the door. And walked out. Leaving him alone again. But this time, something was different. Because as she stepped into the hallway, her heartbeat refused to settle. And for the first time since their divorce— She wasn’t entirely certain which of them was in greater danger.

“I canceled the first one because a meeting ran late. I told myself I would make it up the next week. The second one I sent a quick message saying I would be late and then never showed up. I stayed at the office until after midnight. The third one I forgot to even tell her it was off. I let those nights disappear like they were nothing. But they were not nothing to her. They were the one steady thing she had asked for and I took them away without thinking twice. Each time I chose something else. Each time I told myself it was just one night. They added up. They broke something in her and I did not see it until it was too late.” His fingers pressed lightly against the table edge. The regret t

Paul cuts in mercilessly. Paul casually waves all the data stored in the flash drive in his hand. His eyes stare at me sharply with a sneer I have never seen before. “Don’t make this difficult, Kate. You already give the company what it needs. Now, I need my life back.” Paul takes a breath. “Without you.” “Without me?” Suddenly, tears fall uncontrollably. Finding out that my husband suddenly wants to get rid of me feels as if my chest is being torn apart. It hurts... it hurts so much...!

“I was with Nelson, drinking, spilled some drink on my clothes and he offered me his Jacket after I got cleaned up” Shit! I shouldn't have said that. I regret it. Why will I tell my husband I came home just because I hung out with my ex. The horrific mask on his face but he wasn't mad instead he brushes it off. “Come on Alexander, it's just a hangout nothing more” I try to convince him it's nothing. “I stayed here waiting for you but…” he paused, his voice breaking and that even makes him seem vulnerable to me. Men aren't supposed to be vulnerable. They are supposed to be all tough and strong but my husband seems different from the rest of the real men I know.

In the quietude of the moment, his voice, tinged with regret and resignation, broke the silence. "I succeeded, Abhi," Rudra spoke with a depth that echoed the depths of his remorse. "But my success only served to endanger the safety of my family." His words hung in the air, carrying the weight of unspoken regrets and the bitter taste of unintended consequences. In the hushed confines of their shared space, Rudra's words hung heavy, their weight sinking deep into the hearts of Abhi and Sashi.

But none of it seemed to matter now. His fingers brushed over a photograph of him and Freya, taken on her first day working at Bayside Bistro, smiling in the kind of blissful harmony he had believed would never be shattered. A strong urge welled up within him; the urge to throw the picture frame across the room, to destroy the memories that taunted him. But something inside him stopped him.
