I hear tiny steps behind me and I spin.

Liam's running toward me, holding his bag pack.

“Easy baby so you don't fall,” I say, my eyes on him.

He slows, pulling out a lollipop from his pant pocket. “Mommy see. Auntie Naya said I can have it,”

Naya comes in, a soft smile dancing at the corner of her lips.

I look up, noticing the glasses she has on.

Naya never wears them. And her smile is a bit distant.

I smile, and caress Liam's cheeks, then I shift my eyes to Naya. “Thank you,

  • Her Return, His Regret    027 The gap between the truth

    ***~~Dahlia~~***My chauffeur pulls up in front of the address Meghan sent me.Apparently her car broke down and I offered to pick her up.But she's not out yet.I wait in the car.My phone dings.I reach for it.Dominic Kensington.I stare at the screen, a soft smile finding its way to my face.I owe my life to him.The man who saved me, gave me reason to want to live.After the accident, I opened my eyes to this impeccable older man.He had smiled, like actually smiled.I had been unconscious for days. He took me in, nursed me back to my feet.And when he asked about family?I told him all there is.He accepted me, that felt strange to me at first.My own mother didn't accept me. Soren didn't.But a stranger did.He became family.When I got to know him, his business, family.I started opening up more.I found out I was pregnant. It didn't shake him. He made sure I had everything I needed.He loves Liam like he was his grandchild.But the only problem was that his daughter, Sienna

  • Her Return, His Regret    026 The man called sin

    ***~~Jenaya~~***I sit curled up on the couch, knees pulled in, my fingers clutching a crumpled piece of tissue that's already soaked through.Snow is right beside me, not saying anything yet. Just…there.I sniff, trying to hold it together, but my voice cracks anyway. “I really thought this was it…you know?”Snow shifts, voice tight. “I can't believe that asshole would do this to you,”Another tear slips down before I can stop it. I dab at it quickly, but it's useless, my hands are trembling now.It's been hell these pass few days.I want to stop thinking about it. I want to desperately move on. But three years is not something I can erase like that.I don't know how I can handle this heartbreak.It's new to me. I don't know how to react, what to feel, most times I'm just numb.I gave Kelvin so much. He was my first. I'd never have imagined it was all a lie.My mind drifts to all his texts, calls. How he'd obess and get jealous over every man that talks to me.How can all of that b

  • Her Return, His Regret    025 The truth you buried

    ***~~Dahlia~~***I stare at the familiar building and my mouth twist.Helix Medical Center.It took me a month after the accident to find out I was pregnant.There were symptoms. Morning sickness, loss of appetite, delayed period, tiredness.I had brushed it off without reading meaning into it.I mean, I couldn't possibly be pregnant.My cycle became irregular after my marriage to Soren.Dr Frank said it was hormonal imbalance, said he'd give me drugs and vitamins to help.For two years, I consumed birth control pills disguised as vitamins and hormonal drugs.He specifically asked I shouldn't buy it at any drugstore except Helix.He followed up, became intentional about my progress. I didn't take in, take more of miscarrying.Then it finished, and I was just too tired of chucking down pills after pills. I stalled.I didn't go to Helix for a fresh bottle.He called and I lied that I still had some left just so he wouldn't nag.Ashley's drama happened.Then the accident.I was three

Auntie Naya said I can have it,”Naya comes in, a soft smile dancing at the corner of her lips.I look up, noticing the glasses she has on.Naya never wears them. And her smile is a bit distant.I smile, and caress Liam's cheeks, then I shift my eyes to Naya. “Thank you, Naya.”“Mommy, can I have it?”“Yes, baby.” I say, adjusting his tie. My eyes goes to Naya again.She still has a smile but it feels weird, to me at least. I can't tell what it is, but she's down.Again, I brush it off, and turn to Liam.“Come baby. I'd drop you off to school,” I take his hand, and guide him towards the door with Naya in tow.I had in mind to see this Liam's new friend he's so excited about, but unfortunately she isn't in school yet.June.He said her name was June.My mind dr

  • Her Return, His Regret    023 For his eyes only

    ***~~Jenaya~~***“Put me down!” I let out, pounding my hands against his wet, bare back.He doesn't flinch.He keeps moving, holding me firmly.I cuss, yell, scream, but none of it could make him stop.The rain pours down on us, each droplet soaking us further.The guard at the front door didn't even blink, he stares straight ahead, like none of this is weird. He's probably seen this exact scene play out a million times over.Knox carries me in and start the stairs, my brows lifts. “Where the hell are you taking me?” I spit out.Silence.I struggle but nothing.He got to a door, pull it open, and only then did he bring me down.Shivering, I race toward the door, and yank at the doorknob.It doesn't open.I turn sharply and his eyes are on me, watching me with a look that makes my skin crawl.“You really are stubborn, Naya.” he says without breaking eye contact.“Open this door and let me out,” I bark.He ignores me, moves to the closet and pull out a neatly folded towel and a shirt.

    ***~~Soren~~***My anger boils beneath the surface.Fist clenched tight.I can't stand Ashley.Hell, I can't stand seeing Dahlia with Hunter.It's unsettling.Or maybe it's the people.I'm just not at ease.But I was managing just fine till she walked in with him.Now, breathing feels like a threat.But I can't lose it in front of my daughter.I ruffle her hair and turn to Susan. “Please take her to room,”“Yes sir,” she retorts, inching toward June.I manage a smile. “Goodnight baby,” I breathed out. “Goodnight, daddy.” she says with a light yawn and turn to Ashley. “Goodnight mommy,” Susan takes her hand and leads her out.I wait till they're out of earshot.Then I whirl around, eyes on Ashley.“What was that about?” I seethe, anger seeping through every word.Ashley lifts her brows. “What was what about?”My jaw ticks, eyes blazing. “Don't play dumb with me,” I say, my voice low.She shifts slightly. “I don't know why you insist on working with her, Soren.”I tap a foot on the

    ***~~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
