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

  • Her Return, His Regret    090 My father's wish

    ***~~Soren~~***I never liked Delilah’s mom, not only because she was an addict and took advantage of Lilah's kind heart.She can't be trusted. And she genuinely doesn't care about Lilah.I've witnessed this firsthand.At her funeral, she was absent, she took the money and disappeared.Now, she's back into Delilah's life like nothing happened.I don't know the game she's playing, but I could've sworn I saw her sending out a text.Did she inform Logan that I was here?Was she extorting him too?My hands clench as her questions hangs over us.I can tell it was intentional. Either to stir trouble or to get a reaction out of me.Whatever it is, I want Logan away from Lilah.He's been doing everything he can to push my buttons, to ragebait me. His words, actions — it was just to get at me.And that cocky smile he usually wears pisses me off more than anything.The room is silent now, you could hear a pin drop.Are they a thing now?I wait with bated breath, blood boiling beneath the surf

  • Her Return, His Regret    089 His urgent request

    ***~~Delilah~~***I stab on the steak, my eyes darting from Liam to Soren.It's like the more I try to separate these two, the more it backfires.Liam who couldn't even talk to Logan when he came for dinner was all over Soren.He even lets Soren feed him.My mother sits there in silence, her eyes on Liam and Soren, and then back to her phone.My fist curls tight against my fork and I blurt out. “Baby…eat your food by yourself,” I don't know why he keeps clinging to him.“Why?”I frown. “Because you have hands, you're a big boy and— you're not letting your friend eat his food,” I give Soren a look when I say this.Liam pouts, and before I can blink, he scoops his food and extends it to Soren. My face drops, and maybe Soren sees it.He shakes his head. “No, you eat,” he says, smiling at Liam.His eyes darts between us and then he nods and eats the food.I exhale, digging into the steak. Maybe I'm letting my emotions get the better of me.And I can't be mad at Liam for wanting his fri

  • Her Return, His Regret    088 Let him stay

    ***~~Delilah~~***The doorbell rings and I sighed, heading to the door, ready to cuss Cameron out.I was done playing nice with him.But when I opened the door, I stilled.It's not Cameron.It's Soren.Wait.How did he find where lived?The hospital too.Who am l kidding?Cameron suss that out.For Soren, it's an easy peasy.But I hate that he's here.My jaw locks, and I reach to slam the door shut. I don't want to see him.Talking to him stresses me out.It's like both brothers are out to ruin my day.“Delilah, don't please—,” Soren's plea echoes just as I swing the door shut. But instead of hearing the door latch, I hear a sharp groan of pain.Glancing down in alarm, I see Soren's hand wedged between the door and the frame, stopping it from closing completely.Soren quickly withdraws his hand, clutching it close to his chest. I notice his knuckles are swollen and discolored, a clear sign that it had hit him hard.My breath caught and I pull the door open, stepping out to look at So

    ***~~Delilah/Dahlia~~***I managed to bypass Liam's request.I wasn't going to take him to the house of the same man I want to shield him away from.So I choose something in-between. Something he can't say no to. “Let's go see Meghan. She'd make your favorite,”His brows lifts and he nods sharply. “All right. Aunty Meghan makes the best pasta,”That was it and I can only hope he doesn't bring this up again.Meghan welcomed the idea when I called to tell her and now we're on our way to see her.I press the bell, holding Liam with my other hand.Meghan opens the door with puffy eyes and I blink, scanning her.It's all red, like she cried half the day.Liam rushes to her and she masks it, offering a smile too bright.“Hey boo. I made your favorite, you'll love this one more,”Liam squeals but I can't seem to take my eyes off Meghan.“Are you okay?” I ask, throat dry.But she ignores me, gives me a look and takes Liam inside.“Remember that Play-Doh we talked about?” She asks him as the

    ***~~Cameron~~***“Going after your brother's wife won't help your case Cameron,” my best friend Jayden tells me.I shoot him a look. “Ex-wife,” I hiss. “She's not bound to him anymore,”He laughs but it lacks humor. “That’s where you're mistaken, man. They're still married,”“Well, just on papers. Right now, Delilah hates him and I think that's my chance,” I say, trying to convince myself of my words.He studies me. “Do you like Delilah or you just want what Soren has?”I've liked— loved Delilah from the very moment I saw her.I met her first. I know she probably doesn't remember but I do.At that grocery store that mom owns. I had gone for supervision in her stead when I saw her.A beautiful, tall and a literal face card. She had thrifted clothes on but that didn't didn't her beauty and sculpted body.She caught my attention at first sight, when I asked the manager, he said she had been working here for over two years.I said hello but she regarded me with a nod, barely even looki

    ***~~Soren~~***Eden pulls the door open with a curt nod.I halt.“Can I have a few minutes of your time?” I ask. “It won't be long, five minutes.”“Yes, sure.”He follows me to my car because that's where I feel the safest.It's clear now that I need to be cautious especially where my family is.And about that tattoo, I need to look closely.I have a sinking feeling that it's same one.I turn to Eden as soon as we get to the car. He's the only staff I trust. “It's about my mom,” I let out, watching as his brows lifts. “I have questions, tons of them Eden, and you're the only one I can ask,”He scratches his chin. “That's over two decades ago. I— I'm older now, my memory is not as great…”I cut in, desperate. “I know. I…I need closure. I just want justice to prevail,”Something flickers through his eyes, but it's gone as quickly as it came, then he gives a slow nod.“Alfred says you were the closest to my mom. I don't remember much. But if that is true then you'd know who she went t
