I signed the contract over the weekend and had Jenaya deliver it to Sam.

It's official. Soren and I would be working on this together.

Right now, I just finished a meeting with a brand and I'm currently on my way to Soren's site.

I had asked for a request though, to handle materials, providing solid reasons.

I haven't gotten a feedback yet, but surely I will.

My lips curls. I lean back into the backseat and hopped on a quick call with my manager at Deloitte.

    ***~~Delilah~~***“He proposed?” Meghan says, stopping mid-tap on her laptop.“Proposed?” I repeat, rolling my eyes. “We're literally married,”“Yeah. But that's still what it is. He never got to propose,”She rounds the room like a bloodhound and takes my hand. “It's beautiful,” she's says, her voice soft now.“I know,”“He might be an ass but he sure has a great taste.”I chuckle. “Do you always have to remind me.”“Well…that's that,”We laugh.Then she's all silent.“This is what you want, right.” Her eyes are on me as if she's trying to pry me open.I nod, a soft smile on. “Yes. I'm done fighting it,”She exhales. “I'm happy that you're happy, Lilah.” her smile deepens as she holds my gaze.My heart warms at Meghan's words and I put a hand to my chest.Gosh, I love her so much. We're been through hell to be here.“At least one of us is happy.” She slumps into the couch next to me, tired. “I'm stuck behind this screen. It's exhausting,”I turn to face her, my eyebrows raised. “Yo

    ***~~Soren~~***I was in denial till I followed Julian in to see the corpse.Rebecca Lancaster was truly dead.My father was wired up, questioning the head of the warden, asking what the hell happened.She was isolated from the rest. If she had drank poison then someone brought it in.My brain is trying not to combust.No one has gotten a hold of Cameron.Delilah is as shocked as I am.She calls in every hour to know how I was taking the whole thing.Rebecca didn't treat me like I was human but I was certainly not delighted seeing her lifeless body.Not when it'll hurt Cameron.My phone dings with a text as we come out of the morgue room.Cameron.It's an address.Then a text that says. ‘come alone’I recognize the place the second my eyes lands on it.It's an old abandoned building in the neighborhood we grew up in.After I returned from Alfred's at fifteen. I realize Cameron sneaks out to this building sometimes when Julian and Rebecca argues.It was the first time he actually spo

  • Her Return, His Regret    145 How true is it?

    ***~~Soren~~***“Yes, yes. I'll stay married to you, Soren Lancaster. In this life and in our next lives.”Still on my knees, I take the ring from the box, and slide it into her fingers.A perfect ring I had picked out myself, something befitting of her.Delilah stares at her diamond ring, her eyes glistening.It fits her just like I knew it would.I lean in and place a kiss on it before rising to my feet.She's staring into my eyes with this smile that snaps something inside me.I don't even blink. Didn't even pause to breathe. My hand goes around her waist, drawing her in and without a word my lips crash onto hers.It's the hungriest kiss we've ever had. Our tongues tangles together, desperate and messy.We don't even stop to breathe, just panting against each other's lips.The taste of her— the sound she makes. It's driving me insane. I could kiss her like this forever.When we break apart, she chuckles…it's not soft— it's like full blown one.I smile…I can't help it.Everything

  • Her Return, His Regret    144 Will you stay married to me?

    ***~~Soren~~***When you find something you thought you lost forever, it's hard not to live in constant fear of losing it again.I know I want to keep Delilah forever. I know I want a life where she's not in doubt of my love.But I've been making progress.She smiles at me more often. Laughs at my joke even when they're not so funny. She doesn't say no to spending nights at mine.She's relatively free around me.But still…that didn't thaw my fear.As much as Logan's words doesn't bother me. As much as I think she wants me just as much as I want her.There's no label yet.Not even a boyfriend.And it scares me, more than I'm willing to admit.I used to think I loved Ashley but it was just the feeling of someone actually wanting me.It was easy, no arguments, no proper communication. So I went with the flow.With Delilah it's different.I cling to her without meaning to. I smile more. I talk more. I want to communicate more when it's her. I want to wake up every morning with her by my

    ***~~Delilah~~***A week later.“Let's go to Santa Monica,” Sren blurts out and I almost choke on my tea.“What?” I ask, eyes on him.He stands from the couch. “I've figured it out. We need a weekend getaway after all these chaos,”I blink.He's been acting strange ever since he got back from the police station.Perhaps not so strange.But then, I got the apology note from Ashley and I honestly don't know how to feel.It's like I'm mad but I'm not mad.Maybe I'm mad at myself because I'm not mad about her enough.But that note?It— left me speechless.It started off with her constant bully back then in highschool.Down to the mayhem she brought into my marriage. She apologized for everything single thing she's done.And now, I hate that I feel even a tad bit sorry for her.When I showed Meghan, she rolled her eyes a bit.“I hate that bitch, but this is well constructed. How the hell was she able to pull this off from there?”I give her a look. “A pen and a paper. All she had to do w

  • Her Return, His Regret    142 A written apology?

    ***~~Soren~~***I glared at Ashley as she mentions June.It's not only anger that I feel now.It's more of irritation.June?The one she barely had time for.I narrow my eyes, barely restraining the urge to push my chair and walk out of that damn door. But before I can act on my intrusive thoughts, she speaks again.Her voice lowers.“All I wanted was to be loved. A love I didn't get from my father. Jade was there, ready to listen, lending me a shoulder to cry on after my father's abuse. He— he was my first love. The first man that had ever loved me,” she trails off, wiping tears.I stare at her without emotions, my jaw tightening.Is this one of those he made me do it” speeches? Because that won't even move me.I can't even bring myself to feel sorry.Trauma?Most have them but that's not an excuse to be a shitty person.“Jade became my safe space, the one who pulled me out of my dark times. I wanted forever. I mean it has to be him. Then one day, he came asking me if I talk to you,

    ***~~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
