Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455 He Mistook

Her For Sadie

“Briley, I’m telling you again, this is critical for our family,” Sutton said, his voice lowering to convey a serious warning. “Make sure you’re focused and don’t botch this like last time.”

The previous debacle had brought embarrassment to both Briley and their father, tarnishing their reputation within the family.

This time, Sutton was adamant that there would be no errors.

Taken aback by Sutton’s stern tone, Briley softened her voice to reassure him. “Sutton, relax. I won’t let you down this time. Just wait for my good news,” she replied confidently.

Sutton’s demeanor eased slightly when he heard his sister’s promise.

“Good,” he said before ending the call.

Briley ignited her sports car, tracing the route Alex had taken.

Under the late–night sky, neon lights flickered, casting their glow.

The Night Owl Bar, a haven of indulgence, pulsed with the rhythm of music, its dance floor alive with the sway of men and women. In a secluded corner, a solitary figure nursed his drink, his posture betraying a sense of isolation.

It was Alex.

Glass after glass, he sought solace in the burn of alcohol, yet it provided no relief from the frustration boiling within him.

Once more, Sadie had refused him.

Was he destined to merely watch as she slipped further away?

Then, a figure approached, her movements hushed.

Briley eased into the seat next to Alex, ordering a drink while her gaze lingered on his profile, striking even in the dim light.

The moment she had been waiting for had arrived.

With her heart racing, a faint blush tinged her cheeks.

She reached out hesitantly, her fingers grazing Alex’s hand with a delicate touch.

Unresponsive, lost in his thoughts, Alex gave no indication he noticed.

Briley was emboldened, her touch becoming more suggestive, her fingers tracing his hand with a gentle persuasion.

At last, Alex looked up, his eyes bleary from the alcohol, his focus drifting as he tried to make out her face.

“Alex, don’t be sad,” Briley murmured, her voice full of tenderness.

She enveloped his hand in hers, her grip comforting

His gaze, clouded and uncertain in the low light, struggled to identify her.

In his drunken state, he mistook her for Sadie.

Was it really her?

“Sadie?” Alex murmured.

Suddenly, he gripped Briley’s hand with surprising force.

A thrill of joy surged through Briley.

He had fallen for it! It didn’t matter that he had mistaken her for another woman.

She chose not to correct him. Instead, she leaned in, her body nearly touching his.

“It’s me, Alex.”

Engulfed in the fog of alcohol, Alex struggled to recognize the person before him.

All he knew was that he saw Sadie- the woman who haunted his every thought, the one he deeply missed.

“Sadie, don’t leave me.”

Alex’s voice, filled with a childlike fear of abandonment, made him cling to Briley.

Briley initially tensed at his embrace but quickly composed herself.

A subtle, triumphant smile played across her lips.

She soothed Alex by gently patting his back.

“I won’t, Alex. I won’t leave you.”

Alex’s embrace tightened, his grip strong.

He buried his face in the crook of Briley’s neck, breathing deeply, taking in her scent.

Over and over, he whispered, “Don’t leave me, Sadie. Don’t leave me.”

Briley let him hold her, her smile growing more seductive, laced with excitement.

For many women, being embraced by a man like Alex was a dream.

Now, she had effortlessly made it a reality.

Alex stayed in Briley’s arms for a long time.

Eventually, the alcohol took full control.

He drifted into a deep sleep, his breaths heavy and irregular.

Briley felt his body relax completely in her embrace and she carefully helped him sit up.

His weight was a challenge to manage.

He remained unresponsive.
