Her Return, His Regret 081 Stay off him
***~~Dahlia~~***Soren looks like he's about to shatter.His eyes hasn't left me.I face him with a defiant look of my own but my stomach turns.This was what I wanted — to break him, to watch him face critics. To make him feel half of what I felt.But why do I feel this strange tightness in my chest. A lump forms in my throat, I swallow it.I can feel Pa Alfred's gaze on me but I don't turn.I take a sharp breath. I won't cower. I'll make Soren pay for the pain he caused me and I won't feel bad about it.As soon as all the documents are signed, I got up and head for the door.“Dahlia…?” Someone follows me quickly behind me but my steps doesn't falter.I know it's him.I've got nothing to say to him. I haven't even done half of what I intend to do and he's already shaken?The corridor stretched ahead, polished floors, glass walls— too bright, too open. I focused on that. On walking. On keeping the rhythm of my heels steady.I quickened my step, trying to get into my office and lock
Her Return, His Regret 081 Blind all along
***~~Soren~~***Two weeks later.I got to work and push the elevator button to the top floor. Board meeting day.I want to say I'm not worried, but that'd be a fat lie.I am, more than I'm willing to admit.The elevator pings and I step out into the boardroom. Looks like everyone is here and the room is buzzing.I see my grandfather and he gives me a curt nod.I still haven't told him about Liam, didn't want to disrupt his vacation.Now that he's back. I'll have to find time and talk to him.Then the whispers starts.Mrs Marie leans toward Frodd. “What's going on in here? It's never this energetic.”“You didn't hear?” The middle aged man with his glasses perched above his nose says and when Marie shakes her head he continues. “Apparently, some shareholders sold out to an unknown person that has now acquired quite a sum,”“What?!” The man next to her joins. “How does this even happen?”Frodd chips in. “If this continues, then L&S might not be under Lancaster ownership anymore,”I st
Her Return, His Regret 080 Straight out of my loins
***~~Soren~~***Knox sent back his findings and it turns out that Philip had no emergency that day.As a matter of fact, his mother that he claimed had slumped died three years ago.He had meet with someone a day before and on the day of the incident.While we don't know who he's been meeting, it'd be easy for him to deny this without solid proof.Yet, when he was question about the mother he had lied about, he said he never called his mother.That Steve misheard.It was his aunt.But Steve could've sworn he said his mother.His aunt was indeed hospitalized and we couldn't hold that against him.The fucker was lying, still lying.****I'm flipping through a document when a knock comes to the door, and Sam walks in, holding an envelope.“The hospital sent this boss,” he says.My hand freezes mid flip.My heart does a little flip and I shut the file close, taking it from him.Sam says something I don't catch. I'm not listening, my eyes are on the envelope, staring at the words printed
Her Return, His Regret 079 No more stalling
***~~Soren~~***The news of Frank's death is something no one saw coming.I can't explain it.But I literally spoke to him about Delilah a couple of days back.He was found dead in his penthouse downtown, likely strangled to death.The police are still investigating but I feel like it's a dead end.Who could possibly want Frank dead?And why?He's been our family doctor for the longest, took after his father after he passed, and not a single day was he dragged for anything.No scandals.His records are clean. So why'd someone sneak into his house and kill him?That's strange.Grandpa called that night saying he'd be back for the shareholders meeting.He didn't say a word why.And I didn't ask.But my guess is, he already found out that Joseph Davis sold his shares to an unknown entity.This can't be good.****I had decided to deal with my problems one at a time.First, it’s fishing out the snitch amongst my workers and who the mastermind behind the attack is.Knox is actively on i
Her Return, His Regret 078 Cold day in hell
***~~Dahlia~~***The shareholders meeting is coming up in a couple of weeks.I can't wait for it to come.Winifred Ford didn't agree to sell all, just a small percentage, but I'll take it.It's something.Everyday I get closer to becoming top four majority shareholder in L&S and I don't feel bad about it.Soren doesn't know this yet.My intention is to break him. I guess my perfect mask will come off on that day.And he'll finally see me for what I truly am now.I'm patiently waiting, counting every day, every hour till it's time.I tell myself that when I hurt Soren back, it keeps my feelings in check. I remind myself that he deserves everything coming his way.I'll be good if I keep resenting him.Whatever feelings threatening to overwhelm me remains buried deep inside me.I'm over him.I really am.**I got the phone for my mother, and she's been on it the entire day.It's not that I trust her to handle a device without reaching out to Blake and his cohorts but then again…Tyler
Her Return, His Regret 077 One out time
***~~Ashley~~***My doorbell rings and I roll my eyes.I'm not expecting anyone. It's hard holding June down when she wrecks the entire room with her toys.But laying low and acting like the perfect mom is a facade I'm willing to sell.To gain Soren's trust. I have to be super convincing.If I take care of June, it means I get my paycheck, and when that comes, Jade and I can finally furnish our dream home.I leap to my feet, heading for the door.I think it'd be a neighbor, my help that comes in twice a week to clean the house.Anyone but certainly not Jade.“Jade?” I let out, glancing back and forth. “How did you find me?”I step out a little, dragging him aside.“Why do I feel like you don't want me here?”My face falls and I exhale. “That's not what I mean. June's here. And we just met a few days ago,” I say, my eyes darting on him.He shrugs. “I need more money, you know this,”My brows rose, eyes wide. “I gave you twenty thousand Jade, it's only been a few days,” I let out, voi
Her Return, His Regret 019 Pieces of my past
***~~Soren~~***I wasn't sure if I was still breathing right.My eyes are locked on the entrance.Everyone is staring, the room is quiet like it's holding its breath.Delilah is walking in, arm in arm with— Hunter.Every nerve in my body pulses.My throat is dry, the room suddenly feels so hot, l

***~~Dahlia~~***“De— Delilah,” the word breaks through his mouth, eyes wide.He looks terrified.The shock in his face is so loud it almost consumes the room.His eyes are on me, as if the ground has vanished beneath his feet.But I don't flinch.Let him stare.Let him wonder.I put my hand down

***~~Knox~~***I used to believe I had control over my choices.Over my impulses.Over the things I wanted.Until I met her.Beautiful, black wavy hair, a shape to die for and a face that belongs to a damn billboard.It was here, right at the center of my club.She had walked in, arm in arm with t

***~~Dahlia~~***“How do I look?” I turn to face Meghan with a prideful smile.She winks. “Exquisite,” she mused. “You look like you fell out of those fashion magazine,”I know.My designer outdid herself.And of course it's my big reveal. I can't do less.Not with L&S as my prime target.I smile
