All Chapters of EX-HUSBAND’S REGRET(The Wife He Discarded): Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Absolutely fantastic.I glanced toward the office door.Mia would probably finish the meeting soon.She could bring food.And painkillers.And maybe a miracle.I lowered my head onto the desk.Just for a minute.One minute.That was all.Just enough time to rest my eyes.Just enough time to stop feeling like my brain was trying to escape through my forehead.One minute.That was the plan.Apparently, my body had other ideas.Because the next thing I became aware of was the smell.Food.Warm food.The aroma drifted through the air.My brain processed it slowly.Very slowly.I frowned.Why did I smell food?My office wasn’t exactly known for serving meals.I forced my eyes open.Everything looked blurry for a second.Then slowly sharpened.I lifted my head from the desk.A voice spoke softly, “Hey.”The sound immediately pulled me the rest of the way awake.My head snapped up.Well.As much as someone with a splitting headache could snap.And froze.Dominic.He stood in front of my desk

Dominic noticed.Of course, he noticed.The second our eyes met again, something shifted in his expression.And suddenly I became painfully aware of the fact that I had been staring at him.I immediately looked away.My fingers tightened slightly around the water bottle.God.What was wrong with me?The silence stretched.Then Dominic spoke.“Feeling better?”His voice was quiet.Careful.I cleared my throat.“The medicine won’t take effect immediately.”“Right.”His hand rubbed the back of his neck.“You’ll feel better soon.”I nodded once.Hopefully.Because right now my head still felt like someone was repeatedly hitting it with a hammer.And my body felt strangely heavy.“I’ve eaten and taken the medicine.”I finally looked at him again.“You can leave now.”The words came out calm.Dominic didn’t answer immediately.He just looked at me.For one second.Then two.Then three.And suddenly I became very aware of my own heartbeat.Thump.Thump.Thump.I kept my face completely neutr

I woke up to sunlight.For a few seconds, I simply stared at the ceiling.The room was bright.Far brighter than it should have been.I frowned and reached for my phone.10:12 AM.My eyes widened.“Shit.”I sat upright so fast the room spun briefly.Right.I had gone back to sleep after waking up at two in the morning and spending hours scrolling through my phone.Apparently my body had decided to reclaim those missing hours.I dragged a hand through my hair and groaned.At least the headache was totally gone.Thank God.I climbed out of bed and headed toward the bathroom.A quick shower later, I changed into comfortable clothes and headed downstairs.The mansion felt unusually quiet.The second I stepped into the kitchen, I found Ford standing by the counter while Leo sat at the island eating pancakes.“Finally.”I narrowed my eyes.“Not you too.”Ford smirked.Leo immediately brightened.“Mummy! Good morning.”“Morning.”Ford slid a plate toward me.“Brunch.”I glanced at the food a

Serena laughed.My fingers curled against my palm.“You’ve become bold.”The smirk on Serena’s face made my stomach turn.“And that’s good.”Her voice became colder.“You know your place.”The room felt suffocating.“You’re nothing without us.”I glanced at Camille.Her face remained calm.Too calm.Serena continued.“Your mother died and left you with us.”The hatred in her voice was unbelievable.“Because of you my mother died.”I felt my teeth grind together.The excuses.The blame.The years of poison.Everything was right there.Recorded.“Do you think we can forgive you?”Serena scoffed.“We even gave you a chance.”Ford shook his head.Disgust plain across his face.“A billionaire.”Serena laughed.“A man you’d never meet without my father’s mercy.”I nearly rolled my eyes.Mercy.What a joke.“Those beatings weren’t enough for you.”Nobody spoke.Then Serena looked down at her phone.“I’m calling Dad.”My stomach tightened.“And you’re coming with me.”I glanced at Camille.Ev

The days that followed were chaos.By Tuesday morning, Richard Ashford’s face was impossible to avoid.His face was all over the news. At work, employees whispered about him in hallways.By lunch, I saw his face on three different news channels.By dinner, another statement had been released.The entire country seemed to have different opinions about the matter.And honestly?I wasn’t surprised.Because nobody had expected Richard Ashford to become this kind of headline.Not after spending decades building the image of a respectable businessman.A respected father.A respected member of society.People loved perfect masks.And people loved watching them crack even more.Everything became worse for Richard.Because Hayes officially submitted Camille’s medical records.Every headline looked worse than the last.DOCUMENTS REVEAL YEARS OF INJURY.MEDICAL REPORTS SUPPORT ABUSE CLAIMS.NEW EVIDENCE SUBMITTED AGAINST BILLIONAIRE RICHARD ASHFORD.Wednesday brought another surprise.The court
