After I Died, He Truly Panicked Chapter 12: The Announcement
Regina’s POVThe chocolate mousse on Mia’s face made her look like a tiny warrior painted for battle. I reached over and dabbed the smear from her nose with my napkin.“Mommy, you missed some!” she giggled, pointing to her cheek.“Did I?” I pretended to search her face seriously. “Oh no, there’s chocolate everywhere!”Mia squealed with laughter as I pretended to chase the chocolate with my napkin. Around the dining table, my family watched our little performance. Mother smiled despite the worry lines creasing her forehead. Father drummed his fingers against his wine glass. Alexander kept glancing at his tablet like it might spontaneously combust if he ignored it too long.The perfect moment.“I’ve decided to represent our group at this year’s World Real Estate Joint Conference.”Every fork clattered to a stop. Alexander’s head snapped up. Mother’s wine glass froze halfway to her lips. Father’s drumming stopped dead.“What did you say?” Mother whispered.“The conference. I’m going.”Th
After I Died, He Truly Panicked Chapter 11: The Doctor’s Touch
Regina’s POVI turned around slowly, already knowing who I’d find.Frederick Harper stood behind me, his curly brown hair slightly disheveled from the breeze. His hazel eyes had that same look I’d seen a thousand times before, like he was trying to figure out if I was falling apart again.He was still wearing his work clothes—dark slacks and a button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. There was a slight crease between his eyebrows, the one that appeared whenever he was worried about my health.“Yes, Mr. Doctor,” I replied lightly, letting a small smile play on my lips.Frederick’s expression relaxed immediately, the worry lines smoothing out. “Good. You know I can always tell when you’re not taking care of yourself.”“Uncle Frederick!” Mia shrieked, releasing my hand and launching herself at him.Frederick caught her easily, scooping her up and spinning her around once before settling her against his hip. Mia giggled, wrapping her small arms around his neck like she
After I Died, He Truly Panicked Chapter 10: Rising From Ashes
Regina’s POVLindsay shifted the files in her arms, pulling out a thick folder from the stack. “Actually, yes. But first—” She held up a different set of documents. “This company sent another collaboration request. They’re really persistent.”I recognized the letterhead immediately.Two years ago, when I’d first started my architectural firm, they’d been one of the earliest companies to reach out. Back then, I’d been too focused on establishing myself to consider partnerships.Now they were practically begging.“They want to work on a resort complex in Bali,” Lindsay continued, flipping through the proposal. “The budget is impressive—fifty million for the first phase alone.”“Tell them no,” I said without hesitation.Lindsay blinked. “Regina, this is a huge opportunity. Your courtyard designs have made you famous. Everyone’s talking about Phoenix Design Studio.”Phoenix. I’d chosen the name deliberately. A creature that burns to death and rises from its own ashes, more beautiful and p
After I Died, He Truly Panicked Chapter 9: My Little Sunshine
Regina’s POVThe door burst open, and a little girl in a puffy pink dress skipped inside. Her golden pigtails bounced as she moved, tiny ribbons dancing with each step. She didn’t hesitate—she ran straight into my arms, her small body colliding against mine.“Mommy!” she squealed, wrapping her arms around my waist.I knelt down to her level, smoothing down her dress. The fabric was soft under my fingers, expensive silk that my parents insisted on buying for her. Everything for Mia was the best money could buy now.“Hello, my sunshine,” I whispered, kissing the top of her head. She smelled sweet and clean, with that particular scent kids get after bath time, with a hint of the tablets she had to swallow every day.Mia pulled back, her grey eyes sparkling as she looked at my dress. “You look pretty, Mommy!”“Thank you, baby.” I tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. “Did you take your medicine today?”Her face immediately scrunched up, bottom lip jutting out in the most drama
After I Died, He Truly Panicked Chapter 8: The Veyron Heiress
Regina’s POV“Miss, Madam asked me to inform you about tonight’s family dinner.”I glanced up from my drafting table where architectural plans spread across the surface. The flowing curves of the building design aligned perfectly on the blueprint—a luxury resort I’d been commissioned to create.The maid, Marlene, stood respectfully by the door.She was young, maybe twenty-five, with kind eyes and a gentle demeanor that reminded me why I’d specifically requested her when I first arrived at the estate.“Thank you, Marlene,” I replied, setting down my pencil. “What time?”“Seven o’clock, Miss. And Madam also mentioned that Mr. Harper will be joining you tonight.”I straightened. Frederick Harper, the eldest son of Harper Medical Group. One of the most eligible bachelors in the city, according to every society magazine.Also my parents’ latest attempt at matchmaking.“I see.” I turned back to my plans, adding a few more details to the infinity pool design. “Tell Mother I’ll be down at sev
After I Died, He Truly Panicked Chapter 7: Into the Flames
Maxwell’s POVMy assistant burst through my office door without knocking. He looked like he’d seen a ghost.“Mr. Chamberlain!” he gasped, gulping air. “The hospital—where your wife—there’s been a fire!”The words stopped me dead. I shot up from my chair so fast it toppled backward.“What did you say?”“Serenity Wellness Center,” he panted. “It’s on fire. The whole building.”I didn’t wait for him to finish. I shoved past him and ran. Down the hallway, past confused employees, into the elevator that took forever to reach the ground floor. My hands shook as I jabbed the parking garage button.Cars honked as I cut them off during my drive there, but I didn’t slow down. I ran every red light, took corners so sharp my tires screeched against the road. My heart was the only thing racing faster than my car.Regina.When I arrived, towering flames reached toward the black sky, engulfing the entire building. Fire trucks surrounded the scene, their sirens wailing so loud I could barely think st
