Her Return, His Regret 096 Playing her game
***~~Delilah~~***I glance at Karen as she decends the stairs, ready to go with Tyler.I haven't asked her a thing about it.I wasn't going to.Someone like my mom obviously lives in lies.But I don't get why she's like this.Why I have to have a mother like that.I was hurt. I had truly hoped this was the change I was desperately waiting for.Turns out she got into my head.“Mom you're leaving?” I let out, fighting to keep my voice even.She nods. “Yes, Dr. Nadia spoke highly on punctuality the last time,”I nod. “I'm glad you're taking that seriously,”She stops right in front of me. “I told you, didn't I?” she trails off, her eyes on me. “I want to be better for you, for myself.”I force a smile, even though I want to snort instead. “Yes, you did and I love you for it,”Her screen lights up, that was obviously a text.She glance at it and peels her eyes off it sharply. “I have to go now,”I smile, just faintly, watching as she leaves.As soon as the door slams shut. I grab my pho
Her Return, His Regret 095 Take me to her
***~~Soren~~***The silence after Hunter's words goes on a little too long.My feet don't move.Neither do my lips.I can hear Hunter calling my name, breathing, but it feels like I've been dropped inside a frozen frame.My ears throbs with the rush of blood, and my mouth goes slack in confusion.It was hard to take this in.My– my mother is alive, she's been for the past twenty-three years and yet…?I look up slowly, waiting for him to take it back. To laugh bitterly and tell me this is some sick joke. But he doesn't.He's not fishing, the look on his face makes that painfully clear.But none of this makes sense.If my mother was alive all this time, why go to Hunter and not me?Why did she let me believe she was dead for so long.Why….did she abandon me?The questions crash into me one after another until my breathing slows.I swallow hard, forcing down the lump in my throat. “She was alive all this time…?”“Soren, trust me, she has her reasons,” Hunter says carefully, his voice l
Her Return, His Regret 094 Call me Elena
***~~Delilah~~***It took a moment to recollect myself and nod. “Uhm– yes, sit.” Her smile spreads and it feels like watching my son grin.It was her that night, I'm certain it is.“It was you,” I blurt out, unable to stop myself. “You– you took Soren that night,”Her eyes lingers on me for a second and then she nods.Back then I thought she might be a relation of his, but while we were married I never saw her and I didn't ask.My biggest question now is why is she here after all these years?And who exactly is she?“I know you must be confused,” she says, cutting through my thoughts. I definitely am. “I just had to come see you,”My brows lifts. “Why? What for?”The waiter comes back, interrupting us. He sets down the tray of food, nods at us and leaves.A brief pause.Then.“Because I've been watching you for over a decade now Delilah,” that chills me to my core.I blink.“You've been stalking me?” I let out, my voice strained.She waves it off sharply. “I know that's what it loo
Her Return, His Regret 093 It's her
***~~Delilah~~***I wasn't going to confront my mother, it did nothing over the years.At least not yet.It keeps her at alert and gives room to even more lies.This time, I was going to play her game.The dashcam in the shows that Tyler drops Karen off and picks her up at the required time.He said there hasn't been a time he came to pick her up that she wasn't there.That's a smart move.Which also means she still shoots up when no one is watching.How did I miss that.I exhale. Her session is in two days time. I'll wait and see.****I thought about the materials I'd supply next for the site.It was meant to be the low quality one, just to execute my plan during this chaos.Yet, I didn't choose that.I went for the best, telling myself I'd get on with my plan on the next one but I never did.I can't tell what the hell is wrong with me.But the next one, nothing stops me.Not even this burst of emotions.Soren's downfall should be what keeps me afloat, yet anytime it comes to my m
Her Return, His Regret 092 My mother
***~~Soren~~***It's been two hours since my father came here to demand I stop investigating mom's death.And he gave the crappiest reason ever.In his words; I don't want you to hate her or get hurt when you realize the kind of person your mother was.His voice was firm, he didn't even blink.He wouldn't say more, just like how he said I shouldn't talk about her.It has always been about what he wants, how he wants it while I play by the rules.But not anymore.I was livid.I realized now that my father is the most selfish man alive.And it hurts when I think about it.Furious, I asked him out of my house and to stay off my business.I couldn't comprehend why he'd say that about her.And I refuse to believe my mom was what he's trying to paint her out to be.This made me put him as top one in my list of possible suspects.Sleep has eroded me.My mind's a mess.Everything keeps piling up.I throw the sheets off my body and got out of bed, deciding to kill the night with work.An hou
Her Return, His Regret 091 Deep cut
***~~Delilah~~***I saw the way Logan was looking at Liam.At Soren.Maybe he had figured it out.The silence as I walked him to his car itches my skin.But I don't know what to say to him.Finally, he stops walking and turn to me. “That man, Soren. Is he really just a business partner?”There's a tightness around his mouth that betrays his words. I feel a knot form in my stomach.I think about this, maybe I don't have to lie about it to Logan.But what do I say?Soren's my ex-husband….and maybe married on paper?That's weird asf.But looking at Logan. I decided to go with the truth.I exhale slowly. “He's — he's Liam's dad,” he stares at me, as if confirming his suspicion, but I cut in sharply. “But that's just biologically, nothing more.”Logan's gaze doesn't shift. I'm not sure he believes that, but that's really all there is.He runs a hand through his hair. “He's not the reason why you don't want us together yet, is he?”My brows lifts.“No, he's not. It's all too sudden and I'm
Her Return, His Regret 012 Breeze of chaos
***~~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

***~~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

***~~Ashley~~***“You know what's at stake, don't you?” Rebecca says, her lips pressed into a thin line.“I'm trying,”“It's not good enough!” She barked. “Soren's not agreeing to the engagement, that complicates things,”I swallow, my fingers coiled tight against the glass. “I'll get him to. I'm
