Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 843:
âNothing,â she said softly.
She wasnât ready to unpack the storm still brewing inside her.
Turning forward, she addressed the driver, her voice clipped and weary.
âTake us back to the hotel. Iâm tiredâI just need to rest.â
The driver nodded without question and pulled away from the curb.
As the city lights blurred past the windows, Sadie sat in silence, her thoughts in disarray.
She kept repeating to herself that Noah was dead.
The man she saw back thereâhe wasnât hers anymore. He was Patrick now.
Haileyâs husband. The father of her child.
She should have accepted that truth a long time ago.
There was no room left for fragile illusions.
She leaned her head back against the seat and closed her eyes, willing herself to let goâto erase that haunting face from her memory.
The car glided smoothly through the night.
Sadie remained unaware of the sleek, bubblegum-pink Lamborghini trailing them from a careful distanceâsilent, yet unwavering.

She turned slowly, her eyes sharp and unreadable as she faced the seemingly empty corridor behind her.
âIf youâre going to follow me, you might as well show yourself.â
A short silence passed, then a figure sauntered out from the corner at the end of the corridor. The manâs pink shirt immediately stood out, its top three buttons undone to expose a portion of his collarbone.
It was Nathan.
His hands were tucked into his pockets, and his lips were curled into his trademark mischievous smile.
âVery nice, Ms. Hudson. Your senses are quite sharp.â
Every step he took toward Sadie was easy and relaxed.
