HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET Building Her Empire
Brett’s POVThe kiss lingered between us, and when we finally pulled apart, Roberta’s lips were slightly parted, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes held mine with a softness that made my chest ache. Rain continued to streak down the windows, but all I could focus on was the woman in front of me.“You’re incredible,” I whispered. My hand stayed on her cheek, thumb gently stroking her skin. “The way your mind works… the fire in you. I’ve never known anyone stronger or more brilliant.”She smiled, a real, warm smile that reached her eyes. “Thank you, Brett.”The words "I love you" rose up so strongly in my heart that I almost said them out loud. They sat heavy on my tongue, full of everything I felt for her — the awe, the tenderness, the deep, terrifying love that had been growing since the day I first held her while she cried. But I held back. Is it too soon? She was still healing. Still troubled. The weight of everything she's been carrying —ziva, the divorce —I didn’t want to scare her
HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET Rain And Reckoning

I wasn’t going to spill everything here, under these watchful walls.He didn’t hesitate. “Okay.”His hand found the small of my back as we stood, a gentle pressure that sent a ripple of comfort through me. We walked out side by side, our footsteps echoing softly down the hallway. The moment we stepped outside, the gloomy sky pressed down on us. Thick, heavy clouds hung low, the colour of damp slate, and the air carried that earthy scent that always comes before rain. A few light drops were already falling, cool and scattered, tapping softly against the pavement.Brett didn’t miss a beat. He kept my hand firmly in his, warm and steady, while his other hand rose to shield me. He he

Roberta's POV Jace Knows something. He knows that Brett is Ziva's biological father. That was the only thought I had while Jace's words settled over the room like a slow rain. *She knows things. Things that change everything you think you know about her.*He hadn't said it outright. He was too careful for that — too aware of my mother-in-law's threats, too aware of what he stood to lose if he opened that door all the way. But he had opened it a crack and pointed Brett directly at it.And Brett was looking at me now.Not accusingly. Not with suspicion.
