Billionaire's Regret Chapter 195
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
Billionaire's Regret Chapter 194
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

The garden was full of string lights and laughter, the same garden where they had married four years earlier, and Claire stood in the middle of it in a dress the colour of wine, Jeff's hand resting warm against the small of her back."Five years." Jeff said, raising his glass toward the small gathered crowd. "Five years married to the most extraordinary woman I know, and somehow she still puts up with me."Laughter rippled through the guests.Eunice, near the front with her own glass raised high, called out something about miracles happening every day, and Richard, standing quietly near the back, simply smiled the particular satisfied smile of a man who had spent years hoping to see exactly this.Jeff turned to Claire, his eyes filled with an emotion that made Claire's heart leap despite their years of marriage, she will never get tired of being by his side, of loving her husband and every day spent with him, she falls a little more in love with him."I love you." Jeff said, quieter n
