Tony’s POV

“Mum, I heard the urgency in your voice and I decided to come over. What could it be?” I said, already annoyed I’d been dragged from a meeting with Sophia for this.

“You know, it’s just a day to the robot launching of the Morgan Group. But unfortunately, I won’t be around as I have a business matter outside of town. I’ll be leaving late this evening so that I can be there first thing tomorrow.”

That was her way of putting pressure on me without sounding like it. She thinks absence makes her commands louder.

“It’s fine,” I answered, trying to keep my tone even. “After all, your attention isn’t really needed for the launch tomorrow. I can handle everything.”

She didn’t let me off that easy. “That’s the point, son. I have to call your attention to something I have never failed to tell you before…”

Her voice had that slow, measured cadence when she wanted to make sure I caught each word. I braced because somehow, I already knew where this was heading.

“Mum, I hope this isn’t ab

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 92 — She might recall their faces.

    Josh's POVI ran a hand through my hair, trying to organize my thoughts. "Officer Adebayo wants to help out to know if they track them." I said first, because I figured that was what she needed to hear most.Her shoulders dropped a little, and I saw some of the tension leave her face as if she was about to say, ‘How exactly?.’ "They want the account details," I continued. "The ones we sent the money to. Officer Adebayo thinks they can track them and maybe find out who is behind this."Melissa's eyes widened. "They can do that?"There was hope in her voice. The kind that grabbed onto anything that looked like justice, like closure or like an ending to this nightmare that made sense."He seems to think so. He said it's not random. That someone planned this, probably someone who knows us."Her face went pale, in a way that looked like something scares her deep down in a way that she can't shake off."Someone who knows us," she repeated quietly, like she was testing the words in her mout

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 91 — They might be tracked with the account details.

    Josh's POVMy brows were furrowed now while I was on the call with Officer Adebayo, and I was nodding as if he could see me from the other end. "You know, they called at two different intervals, still with an unknown number after we left the office to the house and they kept reminding us about the time and so I couldn't continue to see my girlfriend eat herself up unnecessarily." I tried to explain so they would see reasons with me and not like I just decided to take another cut instead of relying on them.My heart was pounding the whole time I spoke. I needed him to understand and to know that this wasn't about ignoring the police or thinking we were smarter. But this was about Melissa and about the way she'd looked at me with those desperate eyes, like her whole world was crumbling and I was the only one who could hold it together."Yeah, I got you for real. And it's fine."He responded over the phone and the relief that washed over me was instant. My shoulders dropped a little, and

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 80—We did what we got to do.

    Melissa's POVWe stepped out into the hallway, and the door closed softly behind us with a quiet click that felt too final.The sound echoed in my chest, heavier than it should have been as if it was sealing something off. Like once that door shut, I couldn't protect her anymore. I knew that was ridiculous because the nurses were in there, the doctors were monitoring her, and she was safe. But still, the feeling wouldn't leave.Jack was leaning against the wall across from the door, his head tilted back and his eyes seemed slightly closed. He looked like he'd run a marathon and lost.His shoulders sagged, and his jaw was tight and I could tell that I'd never seen him look this drained before. Not even after the longest shifts at work or the nights he stayed up worrying about things he couldn't control. This was different as this was the kind of exhaustion that came from carrying guilt you couldn't put down."You okay?" Josh asked him.Jack opened his eyes and let out a long breath. "Y

    Melissa's POVJust when I thought she had said it all, she added. "Thank you so much for the love you have always shown me since we were little at the orphanage and all. How you have taken full responsibility for me and all. I can't ask for a better sister elsewhere because you are the best sister in the whole world."Honestly, her kind words sent a soft chill down my spine that I abruptly kissed her forehead.The kiss seemed to stay longer than I meant it to. I could feel the warmth of her skin against my lips, and for a second, I just stayed there, eyes closed, breathing her in. You know, that feeling of having that person you thought you once lost as she was here and she was alive.My throat burned with the effort of not crying again. I'd already cried enough for one day, maybe for a whole year, but somehow the tears kept finding their way back."Hearty." Someone called out at that moment and then I turned to notice that it was Jack. He was already here with Josh.I hadn't even hea

    Melissa's POVWe; I mean Josh, Jack and I, were still there at the visitor's space at the hospital when one of the nurses approached us.Jack had placed my head gently on his shoulders while we were there. I think that was a way of trying to calm me down and somehow that really helped a whole lot more than I had imagined. Because each second that counted felt like eternity and the fact that I didn't know what was happening to my sister in there made my heart almost want to skip at this point. But I was trying so hard to hold it together.My throat felt tight and same with my chest too. Like someone had wrapped a band around my ribs and kept pulling it tighter with every breath I took.Josh's hand was on my knee, his thumb moving in small circles that I'm not sure he even knew he was doing. It should've been comforting but I barely felt it. All I could think about was Hearty lying in that room, hooked up to machines I couldn't see and maybe fighting a battle I couldn't help her with.J

  • He Regrets After The Countdown to Our Divorce   Chapter 87 — Hearty was almost gone but later resuscitated

    Author's POVThe moment the double doors swung shut behind Hearty's stretcher, the emergency room revived."Get her on the monitors," Dr. Adrian barked, already pulling on a fresh pair of gloves. "I need vitals now."Two nurses moved in sync, one attaching the pulse oximeter to Hearty's finger while the other wrapped the blood pressure cuff around her arm. The machines beeped as its light flashed, and the numbers that flashed on the screen made everyone in the room stiffen."BP is seventy over forty," the younger nurse called out, her voice was tight. "Pulse is thready at forty-two.""Oxygen sat?""81 percent and dropping."Dr. Adrian's jaw clenched. "Get her on high-flow oxygen. Fifteen liters. Now."The mask went over Hearty's face, fogging slightly with each shallow breath she managed. But it wasn't enough and anyone could see that."Pupils?" Dr. Adrian leaned over Hearty, pulling a penlight from his coat pocket.Nurse Benita lifted each of Hearty's eyelids carefully. The penlight
