Ex-husband's Regret: Revenge So Sweet Chapter 1 1 Feeling Unloved

Isabel's POV

"Change that dress, you look awful in it." Alexander said in a commanding tone.

The dress, a red revealing short gown, which hugged my curves, featuring a daring plunging neckline.

Glancing through myself and looking back at the mirror, I asked, "what's wrong with my dress, not like it's the first time am wearing it."

"I don't have to give you any explanation or talk further on this, just change it like I said!" He retorted.

His tone is cold, but still handsome as ever.

He stood at an imposing 6'3", his height adding to his commanding presence.

Alexander used to love me. I want to believe so.

He used to be a loving and doting husband. Even though there's a side of him that I'm yet to understand. He's sometimes aggressive, tends to be controlling and commanding.

I've tried to talk to him, but it always ends in arguments, never accepting the fact that he has an issue.

It has just been messy.

My once loving husband has turned to a stranger.

I couldn't even break the news of my pregnancy with him.

He's hardly ever around, barely shows interest or ever listens.

I don't even know who to confide in about what's going on.

His mom, Sabbrina, the bossy and authoritative Chairwoman of the King's Empire, makes matters worse.

She hates that an ordinary girl like me is married to her billionaire son.

Her son, Alexander King is the CEO and heir to the King's Empire. The billion dollar company that has their branch spread across Los Angeles.

It's crazy.

I sometimes ask myself, "Is he still the same man I fell in love with and married?"

"Am I living with an entirely different person?"

At times, I feel like I didn't know Alexander well enough to marry him.

Today, I can't seem to understand the display of attitude over my dress.

After several careful thoughts, I decided to ask, looking directly into his cute blue eyes. "Alexander, do you still love me? trying to find a console in his reply.

But was torn aback by his reply.

He glares at me for a moment longer, placing his hand at the back of his neck, as if trying to find a way out, before finally saying, "You don't need to ask me such a question." I have a meeting to attend to, I'm leaving.

Of course, as the CEO of a billion dollar company, he'd definitely choose that over me anytime!

He always chooses work over me, like I meant nothing to him.

The tension in the room is icy, and I don't know how long I would hold up before I break down.

And just like that, Alexander left, leaving me with my unanswered questions.

"Could it be that he's fed up, and he's already tired of me?" Tears rolls down my eyes uncontrollably.

I sit by the window, staring blankly at the rain-soaked cityscape. My eyes, feeling the weight of sadness and betrayal.

Every morning, I wake up hoping for a change, only to be met with the same icy demeanor.

For the past year of our marriage, my husband's possessiveness had grown stifling, his need to control every aspect of my life left me feeling trapped and suffocated.

The lack of love was palpable; his touch, once gentle and reassuring, now felt like a shackle.

My heart keeps aching for the man I had once known, for the love that had promised to stand the test of time. I felt invisible, my needs and desires are completely overshadowed by his incessant need for dominance. The home that once echoed with laughter and joy now felt like a prison, each room a silent witness to my despair.

I sometimes trace the lines of our wedding photo, lingering my fingers on our faces who now seem like strangers. I longed for the days when his love felt like a safe harbor, not the storm that it now is.

As the rain poured outside, it mirrored my tears which I no longer had the strength to cry, each drop could speak of my broken heart and our love that seemed irreparably lost.

I turned to my phone, wanting to dial my mother. But on a second thought, I wouldn't want to make her worry over this.

As an only child. My mother, Celyn, doesn't joke with me. She gets too worked up and worries a lot with anything concerning me. If I get her involved, she's ready to appear here immediately just to make sure I'm fine. I definitely will not want her worrying.

"I will just wait for Alexander to be home, just maybe he wasn't in a good mood then." I said aloud trying to mask my pain.

Suddenly my phone rings, breaking the silence. I glanced at my screen and saw Cynthia's name flashing on the screen.

Cynthia, my best friend, has been a part of me ever since knowing her from the university.

I literally share everything with her. Every of my sorrow, pain and joy.

But seeing her call come in at this time, I hesitated.

I have always been reluctant about sharing my marital issues with anyone, even with my closest friend.

Though, I recently told her about how Alexander has been acting up, but I still find it difficult opening up entirely.

I tilted my head, Thinking. "What would Cynthia think of me? What would she say? What will she think of Alexander?"

Again my phone rings for the second time.

Tried hesitating, but another part of me, desperately in need for some relief and understanding, made a quick think "maybe talking to Cynthia about it all would lighten the heavy burden I carry." Just maybe.

With a deep breath, I pick up the call. "Hey, Cynthia." My voice seeming low, like one trying to hide something.

"Hey, Bella! As she fondly calls me. How are you?

You don't sound like you. Is everything alright?"

Cynthia's cheerful voice brought a bittersweet smile to my face.

I hesitated for a moment, words catching in my throat.

But then, like a dam breaking, I poured it all out, letting the tears I have been holding back flow freely.

"Oh Bella, that's a lot, it's heartbreaking," she said, her tone laced with concern, but there's an edge there.

Keeping a moment of silence, Cynthia continued, her voice taking on a slightly different note. "Why not step out for some fresh air? It will help clear your mind, you know."

With my hands trembling, I quickly wiped my tears, trying to steady my thoughts and keep my emotions in check.

"I guess that might help." I replied giving Cynthia's suggestion a thought.

"Great!" Cynthia said with an overwhelming voice. "Why don't you come over to the hotel? It's lovely here, you will like the view. And we can get to talk more in person too. It's just exactly what you need right now."

I hesitated, feeling a strange mix of comfort and unease. "Are you sure? I don't want to inconvenience."

"Absolutely," Cynthia insisted. "I'm here for you, Bella. We'll take it up from there once we meet. It's going to do you good to get out and have a change of scenery."

With a deep sigh, I replied "alright, I'll be there soon." Feeling a flicker of hope and an excuse to relieve myself from some thoughts.

"Perfect," Cynthia replied, giving a sly chuckle. "See you soon, Bella."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
