My Ex-boyfriend Regretted after I Left Him

Kaelyn Morley was known in Astrofleah as a pure and beautiful woman, and many young men from wealthy families dreamed of marrying her.

Yet now, her private video was spreading wildly, causing a continuous plummet in the share price of the Morley Group.

Many business partners were canceling contracts with the Morley Group, and her father was so angry that he was hospitalized due to a cerebral hemorrhage.

But Kaelyn didn't look angry but numb at that moment just because it was one of the 99 trials imposed on her by Madelynn, Dobson, the childhood friend of Kaelyn's boyfriend, Andres Warren.

Andres had claimed that he would focus solely on his career before thirty years old and wouldn't have a romantic relationship.

Yet, he fell for Kaelyn at first sight and pursued her fervently for two years before finally winning her heart.

Madelynn resented him for breaking his promise, so she targeted Kaelyn with various schemes and promised that Kaelyn could marry Andres if she passed the trials and that she would have to give him up if she failed.

Kaelyn had believed that her love for Andres would be enough to pass those trials, and she didn't notice the triumphant smile on Madelynn's lips.

During the first trial, Madelynn forced Kaelyn's car to a halt on a viaduct. Kaelyn was bumped eighteen times. She had multiple broken bones and severe internal injuries.

Andres immediately halted an important business meeting worth billions. He deployed a medical helicopter and spent two days saving her from the brink of death.

The second time, Madelynn cut Kaelyn's safety rope during a hiking trip, causing her to fall forty meters down a cliff.

Andres dispatched ten rescue teams and hundreds of drones to look for Kaelyn. She was found three days later when she was nearly frozen to death.

Things happened like that repeatedly. Madelynn kept harming Kaelyn, while Andres kept rescuing her again and again.

"Hey, pretty woman, your video is quite dirty. How much for a night?" A greasy hand slid up Kaelyn's skirt, and she let out a piercing scream and slapped the portly man hard.

After the man left, cursing, she finally broke down. She sobbed uncontrollably. It was the 99th time, and she didn't want to endure it any longer.

She dialed the police.

The next moment, Andres called her. He didn't sound affectionate or concerned. Instead, he seemed very disappointed. "Why did you call the police? Now Madelynn is taken in for questioning."

A sourness surged in Kaelyn's throat, and her voice cracked with a sob. "She had a guy corner me outside the restroom. I was almost assaulted. Shouldn't I call the police? Andres, do you even realize I was almost raped just now?"

Listening to her hysterical questioning, Andres frowned tightly.

He said impatiently, "What are you worried about? Whenever you were in danger, I always went all out to help you out. I've told you many times that Madelynn is just competitive and likes to joke around. She means no harm. Besides, we were wrong before. How could you treat her like this?"

Tears silently fell as Kaelyn's eyes grew depressed.

Just because she and Andres started a relationship, they were wrong and owed Madelynn.

So she had to endure those grievances and could only wait for Andres to rescue her.

If he didn't arrive in time, she would have to accept her bad luck since Madelynn was just joking.

Was that so?

Kaelyn fell silent.

Andres seemed oblivious to her emotional turmoil. He continued to berate her until another call came in, prompting him to hang up without hesitation.

This scenario had happened too many times.

It was the 99th time.

But she didn't endure it silently as before. Instead, she thought of ending their relationship for the first time.

She gazed at her swollen cheek, reddened from the slap by that portly man. The love in her heart gradually faded away. She was more determined to break up with Andres.

But how could she leave? Where could she go? She felt utterly lost.

At that moment, her phone rang. She quickly dried her tears before answering it. A gentle voice came through. "Kaelyn, happy birthday."

It was Larry Saunders.

Before she chose Andres, Larry had been her most persistent yet dignified suitor.

Even though she rejected him, he continued to send her a birthday greeting each year without overstepping or causing any disturbance to her.

Her birthday? Kaelyn was stunned.

Since her father was hospitalized, no one remembered it anymore.

Even she herself had forgotten about it.

"Thank you," she managed to say, trying to sound normal.

Larry immediately sensed something was wrong. "What's happened? Do you need my help?"

Kaelyn instinctively wanted to say nothing was wrong, but the pain from her injured lip, brushed by her tears, was the final straw.

After a few seconds of silence, she said softly with sobs, "Larry, could you... take me away?"

Larry said without any hesitation on the other end of the line, "Alright. I'll come to get you in a week."

It had been a long time since someone had chosen her so resolutely.

The last time Andres treated her that way was years ago.

Back then, Andres put her first in everything.

Astrofleah never saw snow. He had spent billions to create an artificial snowfall for her just after she said she wanted to see it.

She merely lingered on an astronomy book, and he bought a planet and named it after her.

She wasn't Andres's first girlfriend, but she was the only one he introduced to her family.

He and she naturally started a relationship. They loved each other deeply, and their wedding was planned smoothly.

But everything changed completely after Madelynn returned from abroad.

As soon as the call ended, the villa door was flung open.

Andres strode in. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her along. "Come with me to the police station. Madelynn is throwing a tantrum and refuses to sign the bail papers unless you apologize to her."

Kaelyn stood there and asked, "What if I don't want to?"

Andres didn't seem to hear her. He urgently pulled her along. "Kaelyn, don't worry. You just need to apologize to Madelynn. I won't let her make things difficult for you."

Kaelyn was weak physically and couldn't break free from his grip.

He dragged her all the way to the garage. He hesitated when he opened the passenger door. His eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "Kaelyn, you'd better sit in the back. Madelynn says the passenger seat of my car is her exclusive one. If she finds out you've sat there, she'll definitely be upset again. Just bear with it a little longer. Once the trial is over, I promise I won't let you suffer anymore."

Kaelyn knew well that it was pointless for her to argue and silently opened the back door.

Andres followed her and leaned over to fasten her seatbelt. Then he gently placed his jacket over her legs and said in a tender tone, "Kaelyn, I knew you'd understand me."

Kaelyn turned her face away, not responding.

Andres's expression froze. Then he went to the driver's seat and turned up the car's air conditioning slightly. "Don't catch a cold during your period. If you feel unwell, let me know anytime."

Kaelyn leaned back in the backseat and said nothing. Her period hadn't come for a long time now.

Andres was oblivious to it, as he had always stayed with Madelynn.

On their way, Andres drove slowly. He frequently glanced at her through the rearview mirror and attempted to start conversations, but Kaelyn just gazed out of the window in silence.

She was aware of Madelynn's behavior in the past.

Madelynn had ruined Andres's past relationships, and Kaelyn had heard of her tactics.

Yet, Andres loved Kaelyn so unwaveringly that she couldn't bring herself to run away and break up with him.

So when Madelynn stormed in with her so-called trial, Kaelyn agreed without hesitation. She never realized that it would be her nightmare.

Madelynn used every trick to torment Kaelyn, while Andres never truly stood up for Kaelyn.

After she was injured every time, Andres would stay by her bedside and caress her wounds gently, whispering, "Kaelyn, all that matters is that you're fine. Madelynn doesn't intend to hurt you. I've indulged her too much. Let's not hold it against her."

When Andres and Kaelyn arrived at the police station, they saw Madelynn.

Andres looked at Madelynn's frail figure, and his eyes were full of pity. "Madelynn, stop it. I've brought Kaelyn here to apologize to you. You've gotten so thin. What am I supposed to tell your parents when they see you like this?"

Madelynn turned her head away in a huff and said in a voice tinged with sobs, "From the day you dated her, you couldn't explain anything to my parents. You promised that you'd take care of me forever."

Andres coaxed her softly and apologized to her repeatedly.

Kaelyn watched the scene expressionlessly. Andres and Madelynn looked more like quarreling lovers.

Madelynn didn't change her mind. Andres was at a loss when he noticed her reddened eyes. He understood what she wanted then.

He pulled Kaelyn in front of Madelynn and whispered, "Kaelyn, just apologize to Madelynn. And this matter will be over."

Kaelyn shook off his hand fiercely and said, "Why should I apologize? What did I do wrong?"

Andres suppressed his anger and said, "Didn't I explain it to you before we came here? Does it matter who's right or wrong? Is it really difficult for you to apologize?"

Madelynn wiped her tears. Andres finally lost his patience. His tone turned stern as he said, "Kaelyn, don't forget that your father is still under my care. If you don't apologize now, you know the consequences."

Kaelyn looked at him in disbelief. "Are you crazy? That's my father. How can you use him to threaten me?"

Andres's gaze was cold. "Apologize now. Don't force me to say it again."

Kaelyn thought of her father, who was lifeless on the hospital bed. She felt her heart being squeezed tightly.

With a hoarse voice, she forced herself to say, "I'm sorry."

Madelynn suddenly changed her aggrieved expression and wore a cold smile. "What did you say? I didn't hear you."

Kaelyn raised her voice and repeated, "I'm sorry."

Madelynn pressed her lips. "That's your attitude when apologizing? There's no sincerity in that. I don't accept it. You must get down on your knees and apologize to me."

Before Kaelyn could respond, Andres frowned and said, "Madelynn, that's enough. Kaelyn's leg injury hasn't healed yet. It is too much for her to get down on her knees."

"You still care about her the most." Madelynn broke down, pulling a utility knife from her pocket and pressing it to her neck. "Fine. Then just leave me alone. I just want to end my life when I watch you with her."

Andres's face suddenly turned pale. He rushed forward to grab the knife, but Madelynn stepped back, and the blade left a cut on her neck.

Seeing Madelynn injured, Andres was utterly panicked.

He turned to Kaelyn and said urgently, "Kaelyn, please bear with it this time. I'll make it up to you after we get back."

Before Kaelyn could react, he and the bodyguards beside him pressed her shoulders down and forced her to get down on her knees on the floor.

Then, a hand firmly pressed the back of her neck and pushed her forehead harshly against the cold floor.

Kaelyn felt dizzy from the blow. As she was about to fall, Andres quickly caught her and pulled her into his arms.

Just then, his assistant suddenly cried out, "Mr. Warren, look at Miss Dobson. She just fainted from low blood sugar."

Kaelyn was instantly pushed away from the warm embrace.

Andres rushed towards Madelynn and scooped her up in his arms. He shouted with reddened eyes, "Call an ambulance. If I don't see a doctor here in a minute, all of you get out."

Chaos erupted all around. Everyone was focusing on Madelynn, and no one noticed that Kaelyn collapsed on the floor and was nearly unconscious.

Eventually, a passing police officer found her and took her to the hospital.

When Kaelyn woke up, Andres, who had stayed by her bed, immediately stood up and checked on her. He looked relieved and happy. "Kaelyn, you're awake?"

He reached out and gently touched the bandage on her forehead. "Don't worry. I've hired the best doctor, and there won't be any scars."

With that, he gave a tender smile. "We're still going to get married. I want you to be the most beautiful bride in the world."

Kaelyn turned her head to avoid his touch.

There would never be a wedding between him and her.

In the following days, Andres canceled all his work and always stayed by Kaelyn's bedside.

If she hadn't received the photos of him putting socks on Madelynn, the video of him washing her underwear, and the recording of him singing lullabies to her, Kaelyn might have really believed that Andres had really felt regret and would change.

But Kaelyn had daydreamed again.

Early that morning, Andres traveled a long way to get Kaelyn's favorite doughnuts from an old, renowned restaurant.

He hadn't been gone long when Madelynn pushed open the door to the hospital room.

Kaelyn frowned at her. "What are you doing here?"

Madelynn smiled smugly. "I just came to see how miserable you are. I only pretended to faint that day, and Andres immediately left you behind."

She walked closer and lowered her voice. "If something happened to me in your hospital room, would he immediately get rid of you?"

Kaelyn looked at Madelynn flatly. She had no intentions of fighting. "If you like him, take him. I'm not playing along."

Her indifference immediately infuriated Madelynn.

The latter suddenly grabbed Kaelyn's hair and forcibly dragged her off the bed. "Why are you pretending to be so arrogant? Are you trying to get his attention and make me look petty?"

In the scuffle, they unknowingly retreated to the edge of the balcony outside the hospital room.

Madelynn was completely consumed by rage. "You'd better stop daydreaming. You, a manipulative woman, cannot be with Andres."

Kaelyn couldn't care less about the tearing pain in her forehead, as half of her body was hanging over the railing. She might fall at any moment.

Her heart raced as she tried to suppress her fear and stop Madelynn from acting impulsively. "I'll leave him. I'll never appear in front of him again. Just let me go."

Madelynn wasn't listening. Instead, she said ironically, "Stop playing a trick."

Her eyes were red as she said each word slowly, "You must die. Only when he can never see you again can I be with him forever."

Kaelyn's pupils contracted as she realized what was happening. She shook her head desperately. "Don't..."

Madelynn smirked and loosened her hand.

Kaelyn fell straight backward when the hospital room door was kicked open. Andres had just returned and saw the scene. The items in his hands scattered across the floor instantly.

He lunged towards the balcony like a madman. "Kaelyn!"
