Her Exodus, His Regret. 84. VIP
84. VIP "I thought you loved her" Sasha had asked. "I did. I still do. But I only just realized that sometimes, it's still okay not to have everything" he paused. His jaw worked quietly. "Sometimes, it's just okay to be happy because they're happy". That was his reply. Calm. Soft. Nothing like the man who stood in her living room some minutes ago. Sasha stood there for a full minute after he left. Whatever had happened some minutes ago was the least of what she expected. Liam hadn't reacted as strongly as she had thought he would. He didn't lash out. He didn't growl at her and sound crazy and tell her that he would kill her if she doesn't stop going after Dahlia. He was cool headed. And Sasha didn't like it. In fact, for some reason, she preferred the crazy Liam who was twisted and did things that harmed others. But now...Her hands tightened at her sides. "It's all that bitch's fault" she murmured. Her gaze lingered on the space where he had stood. She shut her eyes and i
Her Exodus, His Regret. 83. Whatever this is....
83. Whatever this is....The black SUV pulled to a quiet halt in front of Dahlia's penthouse. A click and Dahlia was out of the car. Lucien followed. Neither of them spoke immediately. "I'm home now" Dahlia said, trying to keep her eyes on Lucien's. "I know that" he said. "I just need to make sure you got in safely". Dahlia heaved a small sigh. "You're overdoing it" "Overdoing what?""This". Her hand moved vaguely between them. "Whatever this is."Lucien didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took a step forward. "You almost left this morning."Dahlia blinked. "Lucien—""You almost walked out of my life before breakfast." His voice wasn't dramatic. If anything, it was too calm. "Forgive me if I'm not pretending that didn't happen."Her lips twitched into a pout—something she hadn't planned.Without another word, she turned on her heel and headed toward the entrance.She made it three steps.Then stopped.Lucien watched her turn back around."Don't forget to take your medicine.
Her Exodus, His Regret. 82. Not the headlines
82. Not the headlinesThe sky was already dark when Dahlia finally raised her head from her laptop.Her eyes met Lucien in that instant. He was sleeping.She almost chuckled at the sight.Something happened in her chest that she didn't quite plan. But didn't hate either.Right. The doctor had said three days but this was just the second day and he was already moving around. A small sigh left her lips.She turned on her seat and stood quietly, her eyes catching the trail of activity downstairs through the office window. Cars flying past. A couple coming out of a cafe across the street. A truck halting in front of a high-end store.Then her eyes went to the billboard screen on one of the skyscrapers and she went still for a fraction of a second.There she was. Sasha, smiling broadly at the cameras, saying something Dahlia couldn't catch from here. But she didn't need to.The headline already said enough.Sasha Vale, the new CEO of Vale Enterprises, effective as of today.Dahlia only arc
Her Exodus, His Regret. 81. Still here....
81. Still here....She got ready early.Not because she had somewhere urgent to be.Because staying felt dangerous.She stood in front of the mirror in the guest room, smoothing the front of her black dress, checking that the silver sandals were buckled correctly, adjusting the small handbag against her arm. Everything about her appearance said composed and ready.Everything underneath said otherwise.She looked at her reflection for a moment longer than she needed to.Then she left the room.The manor was quiet at this hour. Morning light came through the tall windows in long pale strips, touching the floors and walls gently. Somewhere downstairs a staff member moved through a corridor. The house was waking up around her and she was already dressed to leave it.She started toward the staircase.Then stopped.She hadn't seen Lucien. Not once this morning. Not even in passing.She told herself it didn't matter. He was recovered. He looked it. She had already said what needed to be said
Her Exodus, His Regret. 80. He Said Okay....
80. He Said Okay...."How dare you?!" the shrill aged voice of Mr. Vale rang through the hallway the moment he saw Sasha walk through the entrance.His hand shot out, hurling a glass tumbler toward his daughter.Sasha dodged it.But one of the shards somehow still found its way to her wrist, giving it a small red cut.Fiona gasped. "Miss—"Sasha raised a hand without looking at her. Silencing her. She walked deeper into the living room where her parents sat and took the chair opposite them.Her father seemed to have aged overnight. Her mother had that particular look on her face, the one that had always made Sasha feel like an inconvenience wearing a dress.Sasha's throat clogged for a second.Whatever wrong had she done. What exactly. Was it just merely her existence?She lowered her gaze to the small cut on her wrist. Did nothing about it."What's the plan now Sasha?" her mother's voice came. "After you take over the company, what next?"Sasha raised her head and met her mother's ey

79. This Feels Refreshing "Any objections?" Sasha asked. She didn't look up from the folder in her hands. Just flipped a page. Unhurried. Three hands went up at the once. Sasha paused. Glanced at them. Mr Gerald. Mr Renwick. Mr Chad. A small smile rested on her lips. She lowered the folder slightly, and looked at them now. Slowly. "I would have been disappointed if there was none" she said. She nodded at Fiona. Fiona stepped forward and pressed a button on the laptop that was at the side of the room. The screen behind Sasha lit up. A footage. No. Three footages rather. No one spoke while the videos played. Nobody moved either. The boardroom was the kind of quiet that happens when a room full of powerful people suddenly understands that they are no longer the most powerful in it. Renwick went pale within the first thirty seconds.Chad's hand came up to his mouth.Gerald sat very still with his eyes on the table.When it ended, Sasha closed the folder and set it down."Doe

29. Home, on the line...Liam stood there for a moment too long. His gaze flickered once to his reflection in the pool before resting on the spot his mother had left from. A marriage proposal. And not just any proposal. But one to the woman he has ever loved. Dahlia Winters. An offer he wasn't sup

28. Pools and positions...The meeting finally came to an end. Lucien left, gloom etched sparsely across his face.The room fell back into silence save for Dahlia's soft tapping on the desk. Her face held no expression but the slight shift in her eyes said otherwise. Gaux walked in. "Miss Winters"

32. Nothing Exhilarating...Their eyes rested on each other's—Lucien and Dahlia— for just a fraction of a second. In that breathless pause, everything unsaid pressed between them. Then they stood. Elegant. Composed. Untouchable. Exactly the way two people with too much history were expected to

31. Glances, Gold and Glasses...The dinner was meant to mark a new beginning. But instead, it gathered too many unfinished things in one room. The venue sat high above the city, glass walls holding in soft gold lights and quiet power. Executives from DAH Global mingled with members of the Voss E
