"Are you ready? I'm almost at your place," I heard Elizabeth's voice through the phone pressed to my ear with the aid of my shoulder.

Doing my son's shirt button, I replied tersely, "Yeah, we're almost ready. By the time you get here, we'll be out waiting."

"Good, 'cause I don't want you to waste my time. His flight is scheduled to depart by 10 AM."

I exhaled heavily, reconsidering my decision to leave with Elizabeth. I mean, this is a mad idea. She was basically coercing me to leave everything I've ever known—except my son—all for her stupid game of revenge.

"Noted. But Elizabeth..." I called out hesitantly.

She answered sharply, "What?"

"Don't you think this is kind of... absurd?" I asked, avoiding my son's prying gaze.

"You want to know what's absurd?" she retorted, "it's you lying to the whole fucking industry about who you really are."

My heart sank, twisting with despair at her comeback. What was I expecting? Of course, I knew she'd always bring this up—my very secret sh

    ~JAMIE~"Are you sure this is the ideal solution, Jamie?" Mother asked, examining the small device I had just handed her."Of course, Mother.""I mean, this is your brother we're talking about. He's as quick as a whip and as sly as a fox, respectively." She stared at me with a mix of skepticism and worry. "What if we get caught?""We won't..." I said, gripping her shoulders to emphasize my point. "If you play your part without raising suspicion.""Are you certain?" she asked again, and I sighed in exasperation. Why was it so difficult to work with old people? Mother wasn't that old, but she kept acting like it. it's fucking exhausting.We had had this conversation numerous times, especially after Sebastian's revelation at dinner the other night. Yet, here she was, still hesitant about my plan to bug my brother."This is the only way to discover his location, Mother. You know he's never going to tell us anything more. Or aren't you curious to uncover the mystery heir Sebastian mentione

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    107 ~ Gut feeling

    ~ SEBASTIAN~Staring at the mirror, I couldn't help but admire the handsome young billionaire reflected back at me, dressed impeccably in a formal navy-blue suit, his dark hair slicked back. A smug smile tugged at my lips as I took in my own reflection in the vanity, but I believed my enthusiasm stemmed from more than just my lovely appearance this morning. Maybe it also had something to do with the way I had thrown everyone off with my revelation at dinner the other night.I had left them gasping, reeling in shock and bewilderment. I doubted most of them truly believed what I had said, but I was certain I had given them something to think about. Something to deprive them of their sleep at night—Jamie included.The jerk had glared daggers at me for the rest of dinner, and I returned his glare with equal intensity.That same evening, grandfather had summoned me to his study, pressing me for more answers to his unresolved inquiries. He wanted to know who my supposed heir was and the ba

  • HIS REGRET; Chasing back his rejected ex-wife    106 ~ Some tea

    Dave had an ex? Okay, that's new, especially since he never mentioned it to me. And honestly, I never bothered to ask him about his past, mainly because our relationship mostly felt one-sided.Yes, I may have developed genuine feelings for Dave over time, but I didn't seem interested enough to inquire about his history, just as he never probed into mine. Maybe whenever the thought of asking surfaced, the idea of him turning the tables and asking about me held me back. So, yeah. That was that.Still, the fact that Dave had an ex-girlfriend was surprising. He once told me I was the only woman he had ever loved in that way and the only one he had ever really been committed to. Didn't that mean I was the only one...? Nevermind."Uhm," I managed to pull myself out of my thoughts, returning Sabrina’s gaze with a blank expression. "I'm not sure what you're talking about.""Of course you aren’t," she chuckled dryly. "I guess his failure to mention me to you is exactly like his failure to ment

    I paused momentarily, recalling my conversation with the strange woman from yesterday.After a brief moment, I gestured to Ariel, who had been waiting patiently my response."Let her in."She nodded briskly. "Alright, ma'am," she replied, retracing her steps back to the entrance.I leaned back in my chair, unsure of what to expect as I watched Ariel pull the door open for the stranger.It didn't take long before a woman stepped in—one around my age. She had curly dark hair, but it was her sparkling hazel eyes that first captured my attention. They were so bright and perfectly suited to her doe-like gaze. She wore a casual yellow floral dress, with her hair cascading down her shoulders. Not going to lie, she was beautiful—far from what I had anticipated.Yet, something sparked a flicker of familiarity; she looked so much like someone I couldn’t quite place. The feeling was disconcerting, like I had seen her before, even though this was our first encounter. As far as I was concerned."H

    ~KRISTINE~I arrived at my office shortly after dropping Mia off at school this morning. It’s currently just past 9 AM, and I have less than an hour before I meet the woman who called me yesterday. Yes, the one who said she had something important to discuss with me about Dave.I still haven’t figured out what it could be. To be honest, I didn’t really give it much thought last night, especially with the movie night Amelia had organized last... night. I was so engrossed in her stupid Thai show that I completely forgot about the turmoil in my life. The show was peak no going to lie. Even Mia couldn't stop rooting for the main characters.Anyway, that's behind me now. I have to face reality and dive into work.Ariel sauntered into my office just as I pressed the intercom button after her knock."Morning.""Morning," I returned her greeting without looking up from my screen. I was sorting out some orders and couldn’t spare a glance."What would you like for breakfast?" Ariel asked, and
