Regrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 44

Jennie slowly opened her eyes, the morning light filtering through the curtains. She reached over to the other side of the bed, expecting to find Lisa, but it was empty. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes and glanced around the room. There was no sign of Lisa.

Curious and slightly concerned, Jennie slipped out of bed and made her way downstairs. As she entered the kitchen, a delightful sight greeted her: a beautifully prepared breakfast laid out on the table. Freshly squeezed orange juice, fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and a bowl of mixed berries—all arranged with care. A small note beside the plate read, "Good morning, hon. Enjoy your breakfast!"

Jennie couldn't help but smile, her heart swelling with affection. She grabbed her phone and texted Lisa, "Thank you for the wonderful breakfast! You’re the best 💕."

Almost immediately, her phone rang. It was Lisa.

"Hey, did you like the breakfast?" Lisa’s voice came through, warm and cheerful.

"I loved it! Thank you so much," Jennie replied, her smile evident in her voice.

"I’m glad," Lisa said, sounding pleased. "I was wondering if you could come home early today. I want to have dinner together. I’ll cook and prepare everything."

Jennie's excitement was palpable. "Really? That sounds amazing! I’d love to have dinner with you."

"Great! I’ve got a few surprises planned," Lisa teased. "I can’t wait to see you tonight."

"I can’t wait either," Jennie said, her heart racing with anticipation. "I’ll be home as soon as I can."

"Perfect. I’ll see you tonight, love. Have a great day!"

"You too, Lisa. Bye!"

Jennie hung up, her mind already buzzing with thoughts of the evening ahead. She felt a thrill of excitement and happiness coursing through her. The thought of Lisa preparing dinner and spending a cozy evening together filled her with joy. She took a moment to appreciate the breakfast in front of her, savoring each bite while thinking about how lucky she was to have Lisa in her life.

The rest of the day seemed to fly by as Jennie eagerly awaited the evening. She finished her work with a renewed sense of energy, counting down the hours until she could be back home, in Lisa’s arms, enjoying the special dinner she had prepared just for them.

Jennie was exhausted as she shut down her laptop and packed up her things for the day. It had been a long day at the office, and she was eager to get home. The thought of Lisa waiting for her filled her with excitement and anticipation. As she walked out of the building and into the dimly lit parking lot, an uneasy feeling settled over her. She glanced around and thought she saw someone watching her from the shadows, but she dismissed it as her imagination running wild.

Reaching her car, she quickly unlocked the door and slipped into the driver’s seat. As she started the engine, Jennie took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. Just then, a car suddenly sped into the lot and screeched to a halt right in front of her, blocking her path. Jennie’s heart leapt into her throat as she slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a collision.

The shock left her momentarily frozen, but then anger took over. She unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of her car, ready to give the driver a piece of her mind. "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?" she shouted, marching toward the offending vehicle.

Before she could get any closer, the doors of the car swung open, and three men stepped out. Jennie's anger quickly turned to fear as they moved toward her with determined expressions.

"Are you Jennie Kim?"

On the other hand,

Lisa was engrossed in preparing dinner, her mind focused on the final touches of the meal she had meticulously planned. The aroma of roasted vegetables and freshly baked bread filled the kitchen, mingling with the savory scent of a perfectly cooked steak. She glanced at the clock, noting that Jennie would be home any minute now. The thought of seeing Jennie walk through the door brought a smile to her face, and she quickened her pace to ensure everything was perfect.
