My Ex-husband’s Regret: On his knees for me

Charlotte Watson, a twenty-five year old rising pop star has been with Alexander Calloway for four years and married for two. When she comes back home after a tour to see her husband has started treating her coldly, she’s confused and wonders if he has a new woman.

Alexander has always been loyal to his wife. What happens when he hears rumors about her? Will he dismiss them? Or will he let it foster and end up ruining his marriage?

His head whipped to the side from the impact of my slap. His mouth fell open, surprised I’d raised my hand on him. He tried to speak but I didn’t let him.

“How dare you, Alex?” I questioned, burning with anger. “How dare you accuse me of such!?”

CHARLOTTE

I let out a satisfied sigh as the door of the van closed after me. I loved my job. I really did, but dealing with so many people at a time got draining sometimes.

Iris laughed as I leaned back on the car seat. “Finally happy to be back home, aren’t you?”

I smiled. I truly was. I had missed my husband. If he weren’t so busy, he could have visited me in different locations and we would have had the opportunity to explore together. Sometimes, I hated that he was working a corporate job, but I was sure he felt the same way about my job as it required me to travel around the world.

Well, I wasn’t that famous yet, but I did have to travel around the continent in order to satisfy the few fans I had.

“Wasn’t Mr. Calloway supposed to pick you up?” She asked again.

“He got held up at work.” Besides, if he had picked me up, it was going to be another unnecessary headline about how perfect our marriage was. A husband picking up his wife from the airport was the bare minimum yet the media ate it up like it was the most iconic thing ever.

I didn’t mind the attention. Honestly? I thrived in it, but when that attention came from my marriage rather than my music, it was a little annoying sometimes.

“There’s this infatuated look in your eyes whenever you talk about him,” Iris went on. She was talkative but I didn’t mind because she filled the silence whenever I had nothing to say. “It’s so admirable. I wish to have a love like yours one day.”

I looked over at her. She had only been my assistant for a year. Fresh out of college, she decided to take a gap year to work. One year turned into two and I was sure she had no plans to go back to college for now.

“Speaking of, does he have any brothers? Any cousins?”

I laughed. “Unfortunately, he only has a sister who is straight.”

“No friends?”

“I’ll ask and find out if anyone is single.”

Iris grinned. “You’re the best, Charlotte.”

I closed my eyes after
