Billionaire Regret: Gone with Our Newborn Two Pink Lines
Evelyn's POVThe morning routine felt different somehow. I stood on the porch, wrapping my cardigan tighter against the morning chill as I watched Sophie climb into the school car. She waved enthusiastically through the window, and I found myself memorizing the sight—her bright smile, the way the morning light caught in her dark hair.I waited until the car disappeared around the corner before turning back into the house. My steps felt unusually heavy.In the absolute privacy of my locked bathroom, I leaned against the heavy wooden door for a long moment, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. The pregnancy test I had purchased discreetly the day before sat hidden in my drawer.This was it. The moment that would determine whether my desperate plan had worked.My hands shook so violently I could barely unwrap the packaging. I followed the instructions with methodical precision, setting the plastic stick on the marble counter. The waiting was sheer agony—three minutes tha
Billionaire Regret: Gone with Our Newborn Overruling Logic
Sebastian's POVI stood at the bottom of the grand staircase, my hand resting on the polished banister as I watched Evelyn's retreating figure. The way she had just fled—her usually pale cheeks flushed a brilliant crimson, her movements hurried and completely devoid of her usual careful grace—was fascinating.It was entirely at odds with the cold, calculating woman I had always imagined her to be.For years, I had operated under the strict assumption that Evelyn was a masterful, ambitious schemer. The Hawthorne family had drilled absolute caution into my bones since childhood. I was taught to be suspicious of everyone's motives, to assume that every smile was a weapon, every act of kindness a transaction, and that innocence was always a performance. I believed she was just a spy planted by my stepmother, biding her time.But watching her just now...My mind raced, pulling up memories from the past few weeks. If she was a spy, why did she look so genuinely panicked when I pulled her
Billionaire Regret: Gone with Our Newborn Playing the Good Wife
Evelyn's POV"No." The word escaped my lips sharply, instinctively rejecting him.I stepped back, my hands trembling as I tightly clutched the silk of my robe. I didn't understand why Sebastian's attention was suddenly so intensely focused on me. For years, we had maintained a perfect, freezing distance—two people sharing a house strictly for Sophie's sake, keeping our lives completely separate. We were supposed to be parallel lines that never touched.But now... saying things like "Let me check it." It didn't fit his gentle, refined, and completely emotionally detached persona at all.My palms were slick with nervous perspiration. I looked at him, but Sebastian remained perfectly composed. His expression was as serene and natural as if he were discussing checking a minor scrape on a stray kitten.I swallowed hard, my mind frantically trying to rationalize this. Maybe I was overthinking it, I consoled myself. He spoke so frankly, with such a medical, practical tone. He was probabl
Billionaire Regret: Gone with Our Newborn The Examination
Evelyn's POVThe distinct hum of Sebastian's Maybach pulling into the driveway sent my pulse racing. I glanced at the antique wall clock—nearly midnight. With merely 13 days left before I left him forever, my nerves were constantly on edge.He never came home this late unless something was wrong.I hurried downstairs, my hand nervously smoothing the silk of my robe. When he stepped through the front oak door, I was waiting in the foyer, automatically stepping into the role of the attentive wife."Sebastian," I said warmly, stepping forward to take his tailored coat. "You're home late. Can I get you anything? Some hot tea, or—""Did you go to the hospital this week?"His question cut through my polite greeting.I froze mid-step, my hand still extended in the air. The absolute directness of his inquiry, and the sharp, probing way his dark eyes were studying my face—it caught me completely off guard.My mind raced frantically. There was only one way he could know. Marcus. The assistant
Billionaire Regret: Gone with Our Newborn Midnight Return
Sebastian's POVThe harsh, golden glow of my brass desk lamp cast long shadows across the stack of embassy contracts spread before me. Each commercial clause required meticulous scrutiny—the British delegation wouldn't tolerate any ambiguity in these trade agreements.Marcus appeared in the open doorway, his usually impeccable appearance showing faint signs of the late hour. His tie was slightly loosened, and a subtle fatigue shadowed his normally alert eyes."Sir, the preliminary legal reviews are entirely complete," he said, stepping in and placing a thick, red-tabbed folder on the corner of my desk with practiced precision. "The remaining amendments are mostly technical formatting issues. I can easily handle those myself if you'd prefer to return home. It's past eleven."I didn't look up from the document in my hands. My platinum fountain pen scratched aggressively against the thick parchment."I appreciate the offer, Marcus, but I prefer to review the final formatting personally be
Billionaire Regret: Gone with Our Newborn A Perfect Illusion
Evelyn's POVSebastian gestured toward the leather chair across from his desk. "Stay as long as you'd like."I settled into the chair, carefully tucking my feet beneath my nightgown. The study was warm, filled with the soft glow of the desk lamp and the soothing aroma of jasmine tea.He picked up a piece of the ciabatta and took a bite. I watched, holding my breath slightly. His usually stoic expression shifted to one of genuine surprise."This is excellent," he said, his dark eyes looking up at me with sharp appreciation. "The herb blend on the beef is incredibly balanced. It's not the standard heavy seasoning."A flutter of quiet pride warmed my chest. "It's a specific combination of fresh rosemary and thyme, but the secret is the finishing salt. It's hand-infused with dried Meyer lemon zest."Sebastian set his fork down, giving me his complete, undivided attention. "Where did you learn this level of detail? I don't think I've seen anything this meticulous even in Marcus's culinary j

Evelyn's POVMorning light filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the rumpled sheets.My body ached in ways that reminded me of every stolen kiss, every gentle touch from the night before. I shifted carefully, wincing slightly, and realized with a flush of heat that Sebastian wa
Billionaire Regret: Gone with Our Newborn Using Him
Evelyn's POVI stared at Sophie.What could I possibly say to Sebastian? My mind raced through potential responses, each one seeming more inadequate than the last. Should I mention the uncomfortable phone call with Margaret? Should I explain about my grandmother's genuine desire to see us? Before

Evelyn’s POVI'm mesmerized by the cold authority in his voice, by the way he makes Blair shrink back with nothing but words. This protective, commanding version of Sebastian is devastatingly attractive, the version I fell in love with all those years ago. I find myself staring at him, my lips sli
