A black sedan sat parked across the street from Claire's apartment building with the engine off and the windows tinted dark enough that no one could see inside.

Cohen had been sitting there for three hours watching the entrance and taking notes on everyone who came and went.

He'd done surveillance work for Matt before, mostly tracking cheating spouses and business rivals, but this job felt different and the money Matt was offering made it clear this wasn't a simple observation assignment.

  • Billionaire's Regret    Chapter Ninety-Nine

    Jeff sat in his study rubbing his eyes. His eyes burned from a night without sleep.Every time he'd closed his eyes he'd seen Paul holding Claire in that hospital room.Paul's hand on her back and Paul's voice calling her sweetheart and Jeff had spent hours staring at his ceiling with his jaw clenched so hard it hurt this morning.He pushed back from his desk and grabbed his keys because he couldn't sit in this empty house another minute.He stopped at the coffee shop on the corner and ordered two coffees.Next, he stood in the hospital gift shop for ten minutes staring at stuffed animals because he didn't know what his five-year-old son liked and that fact alone made his stomach turn.He finally picked a small brown dog with floppy ears because it looked soft and friendly and he carried it to the register and the cashier smiled at him like he was a normal father buying a normal gift for his child.But he wasn't a normal father, he was a man who had missed five years of his son's life

    Claire dashed into Adrian's room with her heart in her throat and Paul stood frozen in the hallway watching her go.She skidded to the bedside and her eyes scanned Adrian's small body looking for whatever had made the sound that pulled her in here."Baby?" Her voice came out shaky. "Adrian, can you hear me?"Then she saw his fingers on his right hand twitched. It was a very small movement and barely noticeable, but it happened again as Claire stared down at his hand."Oh my God." Claire whispered and grabbed his fingers carefully. "Oh my God, baby, are you waking up?"She pressed the nurse call button frantically and her other hand wrapped around Adrian's twitching one."Squeeze my hand if you can hear me." Claire waited but then nothing."Just a little, baby, just try." She begged frantically and held her breath. She sighed and was about giving up when she felt it.The faintest pressure against her palm.the squeeze so small she would have missed it if she hadn't been waiting for it.

    Jeff gritted his teeth and walked back into the hospital. He gritted his teeth in rage. He has to get her to sign the divorce papers no matter what, he got himself entangled in this mess and he'll get himself out.Jeff took the elevator back to the fourth floor and met Claire standing outside Adrian's room. Her face was pale and exhausted and her eyes lifted to Jeff's."How's Adrian, is he okay?" Jeff asked anxiously and hastened his steps towards her.Claire nodded and stared up at him and Jeff's brow furrowed, "are you okay? I.. I'm sorry about Irene."Claire scoffed, "I don't care about your wife's madness."The silence between them was thick and heavy and Jeff didn't know how to break it."Jeff, I want to say thank you." She finally said and Jeff looked up, something in her tone made him stiffen."Thank you for saving my son." Claire continued and wouldn't meet his eyes. "For donating your blood and for everything you did today.""You don't need to thank me." Jeff started but Clai

    Claire sat beside Adrian's bed in the ICU and held his small hand, her fingers trembled because his hand was so cold and so still.The ventilator hissed and clicked in a steady rhythm and Claire couldn't stop staring at it because that machine was breathing for her baby.Jeff had stepped out to call the company a few minutes ago because she wasn't in the right mind to run any business, she just wants her son to be okay.She leaned closer and pressed her lips against Adrian's cold knuckles and a lone tear escaped from her lid."You're so strong, baby." She choked out. "Stronger than Mama, you have to keep fighting okay?"The bandages wrapped around his head looked too big making his face looked too small against the pillow and Claire couldn't think about the missing piece of his skull without her stomach turning over.The door clicked open behind her and Claire didn't turn because Jeff must be back."Did the call go okay?" Her voice came out hoarse."What call?"The voice was sharp and

    "Sit" Jeff told Claire who had been pacing for two hours and Claire had stopped pacing because her legs wouldn't hold her up anymore.She slowly sat in the waiting room chair with her knees pulled up to her chest and Jeff sat three chairs down staring at the floor. It was the first word he had spoken in over an hour.The clock on the wall ticked loud in the silence and every time the double doors swung open Claire's head snapped up but it was never the doctor coming for them.Jeff's phone buzzed and he glanced at it and ignored it and Claire saw Irene's name on the screen before he turned the phone face down on the chair beside him.The doors burst open and a nurse rushed through and Claire stood up so fast that her vision swam."How is he?" Her voice came out cracked."I'm sorry, ma'am, that's not your son's surgical team." The nurse hurried past with a chart and Claire sank back into the chair. She pressed her hands over her face and her shoulders shook with silent sobs.Jeff watche

    Jeff's tires screeched as he pulled into the hospital parking lot, he abandoned his car in the fire lane and ran through the automatic doors. He had no idea why his heart was beating so fast, it felt like he was about to lose someone."Adrian Clark!" He gasped at the ER desk. "Where is he?"The receptionist's fingers flew across her keyboard. "Surgical prep area, through those doors and turn..."Jeff was already hurrying away and he burst through the double doors, his eyes swept the chaos of the prep area until he found her.Claire stood in the center of the room with a doctor in front of her, her face was white with tear stains on her cheeks.She was shaking so bad and was pleading with the doctor for something. Jeff could hear her voice breaking from across the room."Please, there has to be something!" Claire's voice was desperate. "Call more hospitals, call other states, there has to be someone with AB negative blood!""Ms. Clark, we've contacted every hospital within a hundred-mi
