Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 195. PLEASURE THROUGH UNCERTAINTY
ARIA I set the phone down and walked into the kitchen. I bit my lip to hold back the smile brushing across my face. That bastard really thought it was going to be that easy? I needed to call Lana and ask her to terminate my contract with his company. Or at least try to, I knew it wouldn't be as easy as asking her to do it. Caspian was already plating the pancakes when I stepped in. He’d stacked them high, like he was compensating for the first two batches he’d apparently burnt. I caught the faintest scent of toasted flour in the air, and it made me weirdly emotional. He looked up as I entered, a spatula in one hand, the other holding a plate steady. “I was just about to bring yours up,” he said. There was something about the way he said it. He sounded casual and warm, as though bringing me pancakes was just what we did, as though last night hadn't changed a thing. I sat next to the kids, watching as he placed one plate in front of Nylah and another in front of Lark

ARIA Nyx was still staring at Evelyn. "Mom?" she whispered again. My spine locked, my fingers tingling. For a second, I thought the universe had broken its own rules and decided to throw more chaos into my kitchen. Evelyn blinked, once, then twice. Her hands were still wet from the sink and were trembling too. Nylah sat obliviously on the counter behind her, legs swinging and a piece of pancake hanging from her lips like this was the most normal Tuesday morning ever. I turned to Nyx, but she wasn’t even looking at me anymore. Her whole focus was on Evelyn, as though she'd just seen a ghost. Evelyn's eyes widened just a bit, looking from Nyx’s face to mine, then back to Nyx. Nyx took a step forward, almost hesitant, like she was afraid she’d imagined it. Then another. And another. Her voice broke. “Mom… is this you?” She moved quickly then, closing the space between them and throwing her arms around Evelyn and hugging her hard, her breath coming in ragged
Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 193. THE MORNING AFTER THE REVEAL
ARIA Waking up the next morning felt like trying to swim through cement. I'd experienced some terrible things, but none of them made my palm sweat in empty rooms immediately I blinked my eyes open. None of them made me feel like my entire existence and truth had been tumbled onto its head. My head was pounding, my eyes dry, my body heavy in a way that said I’d done far too much crying and not nearly enough sleeping. I sat up slowly, blinking at the streaks of light pouring through the curtains. Everything looked the same as yesterday. Except it wasn’t, because now I knew. And the truth had painted everything in all different shades. The floor was cold under my feet, as I walked into the bathroom, pushing off the fatigue pulling me back to bed. Yesterday had been so different, and to feel this way this morning? I wanted to shrivel up and die. My own heart beat was pounding too hard in my chest. Stepping out of the bathroom, I pulled on a two piece lounge set, grima
Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 192. GLASS AGAINST THE WALL
CASPIAN There was no right way to say it. I knew that. I had pretty much known it from the moment Aria turned to me with those wide, searching eyes and told me to stop lying to her. But knowing something and being ready to answer it were two different beasts. And this one had teeth that could destroy my life. “Aria…can we talk about this later? We just had a long day.” She shook her head firmly, squaring her shoulders. “No. I want to hear it now. Just tell me.” I sat down slowly on the edge of the bed, my hands clasped between my knees. She was still standing with her shirt half unbuttoned, brow furrowed like she wasn’t sure whether to brace herself or laugh it off. Neither of us moved. A few minutes later, I was still waiting and hoping she would change her mind and forget about it. And what sort of person did that make me? She deserved to know, but this was the sort of thing that sucked all the air out of the room. And what would she think of me after? It was what
Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 191. NOW, THE TRUTH
ARIA“Well, look who's waiting,” Caspian muttered behind me. Rowan’s fists were clenched at his sides, his jaw tight, his shirt rumpled from his tantrum, and now clinging to him in the late afternoon humidity like it was tired of him. “Aria, you can change your mind now when you still can.” Rowan said. “I'm begging you, back off now.” “You're begging me? Rowan Zane is begging me. Maybe I need a plaque for that.” I chuckled, lifting my brow. “You really think this’ll last?” Rowan said. “You think they’ll actually respect you?”I kept walking. “You’re confusing respect with fear. I don’t need the first, and I’ve got plenty of the second.”“You don’t deserve any of this,” he snapped. “You’re not qualified. You’re not supposed to be here. Stay down like the…”Was this man singularly the most retarded person on the planet earth? I could feel the anger boiling up in my chest. It was a feeling unlike anything else. “Careful,” Caspian said quietly, stepping in front of me. “You don’t wa
Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret 190. IN COMMAND
ARIA The boardroom felt colder after Rowan stormed out, like he’d sucked all the hot air out with his exit. The silence he left behind wasn’t the good kind. It wasn’t peaceful. It was the type that made your skin itch, like everyone was holding their breath, and praying I'd vanish into thin air. I didn’t. I could feel it like a living, breathing thing, especially because none of the other board members would meet my eyes. I adjusted my jacket again, more out of habit than anything else, and let the moment stretch a second longer. "So," I said, breaking the silence when none of them rushed to do so. "Do we need to call him a babysitter, or is this normal behavior?" Patricia DuBois looked back at the door, then back at me. She sighed and ran a hand through her perfect book. “He has his moments.” “That was a moment?” I lifted a brow. “I’d hate to see his breakdowns.” There was a stifled chuckle from the big man at the end of the table. I shot him a look, but his face w
