Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 51
Nicole's POVI didn't know what the hell was going on. For the second time, I was meeting someone I didn't want to meet in such proximity. First, it was Chris, while this time, it was his wife and the step-sister I never wanted to acknowledge in my family history, Adeline.I tried to keep my composure that was about to slip away, but I exhaled softly and spoke back to the woman who was staring at me with an incredulous look. "Miss, you're being insolent. How can you behave like this to my child?""Nicole, are you really alive?" Adeline asked another question, completely unconcerned about my previous words or her actions towards Richard, who was now near me.I gave her a cold stare. "What do you mean by that?”"Gosh, the fashion of the clothes you're wearing now is really modern." She still seemed uninterested in my words but instead took in my appearance from top to bottom with a condescending look, raising one eyebrow while chuckling. "Still, you look as boring as ever."I frowned, k

Adeline's POVI was still looking at the woman who bore a striking resemblance to my dead stepsister, taking in her face that was undoubtedly a perfect copy of Nicole, the damn woman I had hated for so long.She stood confidently, looking neither weak nor frightened like when I stood before her years ago when she was still alive with the Martinez Family. And her eyes, I didn't like seeing how that woman looked at me with an unwavering gaze.I hated her even more than Nicole. Memories of my inferiority complex when I first came to her house and saw every single one of her luxurious collection of items when we were teenagers, and her mother was still alive. I still remember her happy life and feel envious.I had finally managed to snatch everything I wanted from her eight years ago, and she had also been declared dead, but how could she still be alive and appear before me? Especially now that she was with the boy in her arms."How can she live like this?" I whispered so softly that they

Adeline's POVI received help from the staff of one of the shops, who happened to be walking out to stand up normally, balancing my fine leg with the sprained one for a few moments before asking her to leave so I could continue my way.I still felt annoyed by the actions of that woman who looked so much like Nicole. He paid absolutely no attention to me falling down and in pain and left me among the many people walking around.This was the first time I felt this kind of humiliation from another person, especially since that person was someone I had already tortured and should have ended up dead due to the pursuit of the payment killer that my mother and I had hired.We had already spent a lot of money, but it turned out that the woman returned a few years later in front of me, although I was not entirely sure of her identity."How can a dead person come back to life, right?" I muttered under my breath, still feeling the pain in my legs and arms.I shuffled to one of the available chai

Adeline's POVI bit my fingernails and exhaled, still thinking about that woman who looked like Nicole. I did say that I would find out about her, but I simply don't have the money to hire a private investigator and enough information other than the woman's name and appearance.There are so many people with the name Nicole, and I'm sure that she has a fairly market face that I'm not sure I can find her easily. The photo with her face was no longer in my possession because my mother and I had quickly removed all traces of her from our old house.I felt somewhat regretful, but it also felt strange not to have done so since the news of Nicole's death had been such happy news for my family. My stepfather even went straight to having fun, just as my mother and I went shopping to our heart's content.I was still deep in thought for a while until I heard Chris' voice, which surprised me. "What are you doing?" He said, making me turn my head to look at him.I had returned from my home to this

Nicole's POVA day had passed since I met Adeline. Seeing that woman's face in person after so long had passed made me upset, especially when I remembered her expression that always looked down on me and when she had fun torturing me.There were too many things that made me hold a grudge against her, but I knew that it was so long ago that I didn't need to think about it too much. Anyway, I had already begun to carry out my plan to erase that woman's dream of being surrounded by luxury for the rest of her life.I stood by my desk, leaning against it as I stared at the clock that seemed to be ticking above the door to my study. I had finished working at home with great difficulty, spending the morning reading some documents in the company of tea and light snacks.I sighed, gulping down my tea before putting it back down. "I hope to no longer meet that woman as long as my plan is still going."With that woman's presence alone, she actually wouldn't interfere with my plan since Adeline d

Nicole's POVTwo days went by quickly. I was about to head to a meeting this morning, a shareholder meeting that I had avoided attending for quite some time. Richard was next to me. He touched my hand lightly, so I turned to him."Mom, are you okay now?" Richard asked curiously, looking closely at my face to see how I was doing.I smiled, rubbing his cheek lightly as I said. "Of course, Richard. Mom is fine. This kind of thing is not a big problem that should make you feel bad, but instead, it makes you stronger."I was worried that I would run into Chris again today. He's a troublesome person because he doesn't just let go of someone who has made him curious, so I'm sure that when we meet, he will come back to talk to me.But I don't want to make Richard worry. This is a problem that I have to handle alone as the boy's mother and only parent. He just needs to be by my side safely and comfortably all the time as my only child."Alright, Mom." Richard nodded, tightening our grip as we

Nicole's POVChris took me to a café still in the same place as the shareholders' meeting. The café wasn't too crowded, so it was just us sitting across from each other, one couple clinging to each other and one other person who was a visitor.I silently sighed, thinking about my decision to finally follow the man's wishes. He was too pushy, so I had no choice but to refuse if I still wanted him to stay away instead of clinging or tying me up in a suffocating manner."Are you sighing?" He asked out of the blue.I answered him casually, not wanting to admit what I had done that he somehow found out about. Usually, that guy was very tight-lipped and didn't care about anyone. "Just the wind."A waiter finally delivered our order. He put down the coffee that looked like it had been served nicely before leaving. I looked at the man who lifted the cup and blew into it slowly before drinking it.I followed Chris because I didn't want to hear any more words that I was the Nicole he used to kn
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 58
Nicole's POVI walked away from Chris without looking back, trying to keep my steps upright as long as I was within his line of sight. I turned into a blind spot where he wouldn't be able to see me and then leaned against the nearest wall.I exhaled, feeling still shaky from my encounter with Chris, which made me have to maintain a calm and firm demeanor when speaking to him, even though it was tough.My feelings were chaotic, mixed with lingering anger from memories.He had treated me coldly on the day of our wedding, leaving me at the altar alone with many eyes watching us. But how dare he show a different attitude when we met again as if he missed the old me.I touched my chest, which felt tight. "If he can be like this now, why did he do something like that before? Did he not love me enough to leave me alone back then?"I clenched my fists, turned my anger to the wall I was leaning against, and exhaled again. I thought about it several times, but I couldn't find the right reason t
