Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 Unusually

Calm

“Noah Wall, I’m a living person, not your caged pet,” Sadie said, her voice tight with anger. “What gives you the right to

take away my freedom?”

Noah’s eyes narrowed, taking in her defiance with a cold, calculating look.

“Answer my question,” he responded, his tone heavy and menacing.

In her mind, Sadie clung to a sliver of hope for freedom from this confinement.

“I absolutely want out!” she replied boldly, challenging him. “So, Mr. Wall, will you set me free?”

“Tomorrow marks the Maple Group CEO’s wedding anniversary celebration,” Noah said, “As Mrs. Wall, your role is to

support me as my wife.”

A spark of resolve flashed in Sadie’s eyes.

“Fine,” she responded swiftly, her voice tinged with urgency.

Noah studied her for a moment longer before exiting the room.

As his silhouette vanished through the door, Sadie exhaled deeply, her shoulders dropping as the tension eased.

She moved to the window, looking out at the sky, her emotions swirling.

Just then, Kyla approached with a sly grin.

“It was I who proposed the idea of letting you attend the anniversary party to Noah,” she said, her voice laced with pride.

“So, you should thank me.”

Suspicion clouded Sadie’s eyes, a tremor of unease stirring within her. “What do you want?”

Kyla fixed her with a stern look. “I’ve made myself clear. Stay away from Noah,” she said, her voice sharp. “If you don’t, I’ll sabotage your plan.”

A chill ran through Sadie as she realized Kyla meant what she said.

She clenched her jaw tightly. “I’m going to leave the country, and get as far away as possible.”

A triumphant smile played on Kyla’s lips. “That’s excellent.”

Once Kyla left, Sadie inhaled deeply, struggling to calm the storm of feelings within her, and picked up the phone to call

Alex.

“Alex, could you book a plane ticket for me? I need to depart after the Maple Group CEO’s wedding anniversary event tomorrow night,” she said with forced calmness, though her voice quivered slightly.

“The anniversary event? When does it start, and where is it happening?” Alex asked.

“It’s set for eight in the evening at the Pearl Hotel,” Sadie responded quickly, thinking about her escape plan.

“Understood. I’ll take care of it. Stay safe,” Alex replied, concern evident in his voice.

“I will,” Sadie answered, hanging up the phone with a sense of reassurance. She now had a way out.

The next day, Noah came back from work sooner than he usually did.

A housemaid ascended the stairs to inform Sadie that she was needed downstairs.

Sadie didn’t refuse. She felt eerily calm.

With each moment closer to her departure, she became more composed.

As she descended the stairs slowly, her steps were light yet resolute.

In the living room, Noah was perched on the sofa, a document in hand and a look of weariness etched on his face.

On the dining table lay two beautifully wrapped gift boxes, their lavish packaging screaming luxury.

As she approached the table, Sadie’s eyes landed on the gift boxes, her mind clouded with confusion.

“What are these?” she inquired gently, her voice laced with curiosity.

Noah raised his eyes, his expression a complex tapestry of emotions, difficult to read.

“They are a dress and shoes for you,” he explained, his voice steady. “Put them on later.” He paused before continuing, “You mustn’t bring shame upon the Wall family.”

Without a word of protest, Sadie lifted the gift boxes and began ascending the stairs.

From below, Noah observed her lithe form vanish around the bend of the staircase, a sense of unease tightening in his

chest.

This was uncharacteristic of Sadie; she was unusually calm today.

Kyla, her heels clicking assertively, sauntered toward Noah, her lips curved in a seductive smile.

“Noah,” she cooed, gracefully linking her arm with his. “I’d love to accompany you to the anniversary celebration tonight.”
