Claire found Zane at the kitchen table the next morning, picking listlessly at a piece of toast he clearly had no intention of eating, his eyes fixed somewhere on the table's surface rather than on the food in front of him.

Adrian, sensing the change in the room even without fully understanding it, had quietly slid a small plastic robot piece across the table toward his brother earlier, a wordless offering, and Zane had accepted it without comment, holding it now loosely in one hand while he st

  • Billionaire's Regret    Chapter 196

    Zane woke to the sound of unfamiliar raised voices cutting through the thin walls of his room.He sat up fast, his heart hammering violently against his ribs as a cold, sickening terror flooded his veins.He crept to the top of the stairs, his breath catching in his throat as he peered down into the living room where three men stood crowded near the front door. Their menacing presence filled the small space with something suffocating, dangerous, and electrifying.Frank stood pale and shaking uncontrollably near the couch, completely drained of his usual cruel bravado.Vivian was pressed hard against the wall, her hands clasped tight in front of her in desperate prayer, tears of helpless agony already streaming silently down her face.The man at the centre of the three, tall and broad shouldered with a jagged scar cutting through one eyebrow, looked entirely unbothered by the sheer terror consuming the room."You've had three weeks, Frank," the man said, his voice terrifyingly calm, a

    Zane lay awake listening to the house settle into its late night quiet, the particular relief that came after Frank's snoring had finally evened out into something steady and Vivian's careful footsteps had stopped moving between rooms checking that everything was locked and safe for the night.A suffocating, heavy loneliness pressed down on his chest, making every breath feel like a struggle against the suffocating air of the small bedroom.He waited another hour just to be certain.The exhaustion sat heavy in his body, the kind that had become part of him now, woven into every day between school and farm work and the careful, terrifying navigation of Frank's unpredictable moods. But tonight, a desperate, aching restlessness pushed against that exhaustion, refusing to let him simply close his eyes and endure another soul-crushing, identical day.He slipped out of bed and dressed quietly in the dark, pulling on the same clothes he'd worn earlier that day, his hands trembling slightly w

    Maya's door clicked softly shut, the monitor light blinking a steady, comforting green on the hallway table, and Claire made her way back to their bedroom where Jeff already sat propped against the headboard with a book he wasn't really reading, his eyes instantly tracking her every movement."She down?" He asked, setting the book aside, his voice thick with a low, bone-deep warmth."Finally." Claire said, climbing in beside him, pulling the blanket over her legs, a quiet sigh of sheer relief escaping her lips. "She fought sleep for twenty minutes over a missing sock of all things."Jeff laughed quietly, a rich, soothing sound that vibrated straight through her as he wrapped a strong arm around her, pulling her flush against his side."She's stubborn." He said, his voice dripping with affection. "Wonder where she gets that from.""Definitely not me." Claire said, a sudden, bright smile breaking across her face.They sat together in comfortable quiet for a while, the profound peace of

    Claire woke to sunlight filtering through the curtains and Jeff's arm draped heavy and warm across her waist, his breathing slow and even against the back of her neck.She lay still for a moment, simply feeling it, the steady rise and fall of his chest against her back anchoring her in a way that made her eyes burn with a sudden, aching gratitude.The house was quiet, the particular quiet of a Saturday morning before anyone else stirred, and Claire let herself stay exactly where she was, wrapped in the warmth of him, unwilling to disturb the profound peace of it just yet.Jeff shifted behind her, his grip on her waist tightening just enough to pull her impossibly closer."Morning." His voice came out low and rough with sleep, his lips brushing against her shoulder, leaving a lingering, tender heat."Morning," Claire said, her voice a fragile whisper, turning slightly in his arms to face him properly.He looked at her with something so soft, so completely unguarded in his expression, th

    Adrian's classroom had a new arrangement now, his desk moved closer to the door, a quiet plan discussed carefully between Claire and his teacher, something to do if an episode ever happened during school hours.Adrian noticed the change immediately.He said nothing about it for the first few days, simply sitting in his new spot, aware of the careful way some of the teachers looked at him now, softer somehow, watchful in a way that made his stomach twist with embarrassment he couldn't quite name.Lisa didn't treat him any differently.She still elbowed him during boring lessons, still argued with him at lunch about whether pineapple belonged on pizza, an argument neither of them had ever properly resolved, still dragged him across the playground toward whatever new scheme had captured her attention that week.It mattered more than she probably realised."You're doing the face again." She said one afternoon, poking his arm as they walked home together."What face?" Adrian asked."The th

    Jeff dialled the number the next morning with his coffee going cold beside him, his hand tighter around the phone than he expected it to be.Vivian answered on the third ring."Hello?""Vivian, it's Jeff." He said. "Your Nephew, I just wanted to check in, see how Zane is settling."Her voice shifted instantly, warmth flooding into it so smoothly Jeff didn't notice the transition at all."Jeff, what a lovely surprise." She said. "He's doing wonderfully. Really settling in nicely out here, you'd be so proud of him."Jeff exhaled, relief loosening something tight in his chest."That's good to hear." He said. "Really good. How's he doing at school? Making friends?""Oh, plenty of friends." Vivian said easily. "He's out helping a neighbour with some farm work most afternoons, learning responsibility, growing into a fine young man. The fresh air out here does wonders.""Is he eating well? Sleeping alright?""Eating like a horse." She said, a small laugh in her voice now. "Sleeping just fine
