Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 0492

Harper.

It's been close to two weeks since Gabriel made me promises that shattered every reservation, I had about giving him a second chance.

I swear, I never thought I could be this happy.

My life with Liam was good, but with Gabriel, it's better. Maybe because Gabriel is the man I loved. The man my heart held on to for almost a decade.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't scared. There was still the small part of me that expected the other shoe to drop. After all, it wouldn't be the first time in my life that a loved one has been taken away from me.

There is also the fear that this is all too easy, you know. Like shouldn't it be a bit harder? A bit more difficult. A bit more challenging... or is that just my self-sabotaging tendencies talking?

Maybe I am so used to not having things going my way, which just makes me question things when they do.

"What are you working on?" Gabriel pops out of nowhere, scaring the crap out of me.

With my hand on my chest, I try to calm my racing heart. "Don't sneak up on me like that."

"I didn't," he says, his eyes flashing in amusement. "I've been calling you for more than a minute. You were just staring into space."

That night at the gala, right after that first round, Gabriel continued for two more rounds. We slept and just when I thought it was over, he woke me up for a few more rounds. I swear, by morning, my legs were like jelly.
