The nurse helped Claire into the wheelchair slowly and carefully.

Claire's broken ribs made every movement something she had to breathe through but she didn't complain because she had one destination in mind and nothing was going to stop her from getting there.

Paul took the handles of the wheelchair and neither of them spoke.

The elevator doors opened on the pediatric floor and the smell of it hit Claire immediately because she knew this floor now and she never thought that she would come back

  • Billionaire's Regret    Chapter 124

    Claire sat in her car on the street outside the cemetery still reeling from Jeff's kiss.She could see Jeff in her rearview mirror still standing at the gate with his hands in his coat pockets and she made herself look away from him because looking at him right now was not helping her think clearly and she needed to think clearly.Her phone rang.Paul.She felt a pang of guilt as she stared at his name on the screen for two rings and then answered."Claire." His voice was warm and easy. "I've been thinking about you all morning."Claire closed her eyes, she wasn't doing Paul any justice, he is a good man with pure intentions towards her but it's so unfortunate that her heartbeat doesn't skyrocket at the sight of him, she doesn't get a warm fuzzy feeling in her stomach at the sound of his voice.She would be delusional if she thought she could ever fall in love with him and it's not fair making him think that way."I'm back from the state and I'm dying to see you, are you free tonight?

    Claire told Eunice she had an errand to run before work and drove to the cemetery while the morning was still cold and the roads were quiet.She found his stone without needing to look at the map on her phone because she had memorised the row and the position from the one time she had come before, in secret, in the early days after she came back to the city, when she had stood here for ten minutes and then left because she hadn't known what to say but she knew what to say now.She stood in front of the stone and the cold came through her coat but she didn't move.Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stood there staring at the headstone, "I am grateful for everything you did for me but I have to say that you had no right." She choked out, her voice came out low and tight. "You knew how much being separated from him meant to me yet...." She stopped to take a deep breathThe cemetery was quiet around her, only her ragged breathing could be heard."I built five years of my life on being

    Claire sat in her car in the underground parking garage with the engine off and her hands on the steering wheel, she looked dazed, her lips were slightly parted and her breath came out in short gasps.The garage was quiet and the letter was on the passenger seat. She stared at it but did not touch it.She picked it up and put it back down and then she picked it up again and pressed her thumb under the seal before she could stop herself.Her hands shaky, she unfolded it slowly."Claire."She could hear his voice in the words, dry warm and unhurried.Her vision blurred as she started reading it."I owe you an apology."She breathed in and bit her lips."Not for what I did.""But for how long it took for the right moment to come."She read on and her eyes kept filling that she had to stop and press the back of her hand against her cheek before she could continue."He is not a bad man.""You know that.""You have always known that.""That is what made it so hard.""Bad men are easy to lea

    Richard did not reach for another folder but just kept looking at them both and let the quiet stretch for a moment and his expression had shifted into something that was not quite an apology and not quite an explanation but had combination of both in it.He finally cleared his throat, "I am looking for the best way to break this."Both Claire and Jeff stared at each other and then back at Richard, Jeff leaned back in his chair slowly and crossed his arms, something in Richard's tone had already told him that whatever was coming next was going to require him to be calm.Claire was watching Richard's face and her hands were joined together tensely on the table in front of her."Jeff." Richard said. "Your marriage to Irene is not valid."Jeff did not move at all and he stared at Richard as if he had gone crazy."What do you mean by that? Is this some kind of joke?" His voice came out very low and very careful."Howard could not stop you from going after Irene." Richard said and there was

    The boardroom went so quiet after Richard cleared his throat that the air conditioning hum became the loudest thing in the room.Every head turned toward him and Richard sat with his hands folded on the table and his face completely calm, he took his time because Richard had never been rushed by anyone in his life and he was not about to start now.He reached into his briefcase and pulled out a thick folder and set it down and the sound of it landing on the table felt final in a way that made two board members shift in their seats."Howard Anderson restructured this company six months before he died." Richard said.There were collective gasp of "what!"Each board member stared at each other before turning to Richard."What does that have to do with share transfers?" One of the board member at the far end asked, impatient echoing in his voice and and his voice had the particular edge of a man who had already decided he was the smartest person in the room."Everything." Richard said and

    Claire stood in front of her mirror and adjusted her jacket, she looked at her bare arm where the cast had been for weeks and flexed her fingers slowly, the arm was stiff but it was hers again and that felt good.She had been home long enough.The company needed her and she was going back today whether her ribs liked it or not.Eunice drove her and said nothing the whole way because Eunice knew when words were useful and when they weren't and this morning they weren't because the Claire she knew would not change her mind about this.They turned onto the street that led to Anderson Corporation and Claire saw them before they were even close.Reporters.A cluster of them stood outside the building with cameras and microphones."Damn it." Claire muttered, news of her getting a false identity must have gotten out."Claire." Eunice's voice was careful and Claire clenched her teeth."Keep driving." Claire said. "Drop me at the entrance."Eunice pulled up to the entrance and the reporters sa
