~~Jenaya~~

***

I practically jump into him, crashing my lips onto his— no hesitation, no warning, just heat and hunger wrapped in a kiss.

Knox doesn't respond at first, he just stays still, letting me work on his mouth.

I groan into him, my kiss rough, demanding, like if I let go I might never get this again.

And I hate that I want it so badly.

Slowly, he sets down his glass, his hands moving over to my waist.

Everywhere he touches, burns.

I can't seem to think straight, not even for a seco

  • Her Return, His Regret    133 He’ll get me out

    ***~~Ashley~~***I will my heart not to shake but it won’t stop.I thought we had it all figured out.That Rebecca would get what she wants, put Soren under fire, make him unfit to be an heir while Cameron steps up.And me?I’d get all the money.A million dollars, that’s what she had promised me.It’s big enough to run off with June and go start life somewhere else with Jade, the man I love.She had strategically planned it all and I just had to go with the flow.Everything was going as planned.Well, so we thought until then…I glare at Delilah.I’m sure she’s enjoying every second of me under fire and Rebecca, well she’s ungrateful bitch.If she thinks I’m going down alone, she’s sorely mistaken.But Soren has it in for her.The cops stride in and my heart goes into my throat.My mind spins. This isn’t how it was supposed to go.Soren shouldn’t have found out.This was meant to destroy him, not me.How the hell did he find out?!My gaze locks on Delilah and my blood runs cold.I

  • Her Return, His Regret    132 Busted

    ***~~Delilah~~***There's something in Rebecca's gaze that tells me she never expected this.Turns out Soren's plan and distance stunt worked.It was no news that I pulled out of Bsg and went back to LA.The news had spread like wildfire.But that's what we aimed for.When it happened, everyone especially Rebecca thought it was over.Well, it was far from that.Everyone is out now except the Lancaster immediate family.Jenaya alongside Meghan takes Liam and June away.Ashley hasn't stop glaring at me but more than that it was fear.Fear of what might happen.“Rebecca, would you care to explain to them what happened to my car before the accident?” Elena says.Rebecca shoots her a glare.“The thing is you always think you're smart, Rebecca.” Elena’s voice cuts in again. “But the truth? You're dumber than dog shit.”It hits where it ought to.Rebecca snaps her eyes to her. “You know that is a lie. You're just mad I have what you can't keep.”Soren chuckles.“Ganging up with Dr Frank to

  • Her Return, His Regret    131 Put to shame

    ***~~Soren~~***That's when it dawned on Rebecca.The balance of power has shifted and so does her stance shifts.Her brows lifts and I can see wheels turning in her head.Good.Her gloating time's over.The room shifts, the air thickens, charged with an unhidden tension My eyes drifts to Alfred and he has this look — eyes all scrunched up, like he can't wait to see what I have up my sleeves.More than that, I see a man who believes in me completely.My father seems hurt. His eyes won't leave Rebecca.He hasn't moved. Not an inch.He's shell-shocked.It's like he's struggling to digest everything.I almost feel pity for him. Almost.Cameron can't even hold my gaze anymore, but I see the way his jaw is locked hard.Ashley?She looks like her soul has zapped out of her body.“Looks like I picked up the wrong envelope,” Benjamin says, reaching for the next one.He lifts it. “That's it?”I nod, pocketing a hand.“That’s a whole load of crap,” Rebecca snorted loudly, trying to throw a f

  • Her Return, His Regret    130 Not my heir

    ***~~Soren~~***June's brought in.She's on a beautiful ball shiny dress.I watch my baby and my heart simply aches for her.Beside me, Cameron stiffens like someone's just poured ice water down his back.His eyes snaps to me.I know he knows.But I don't acknowledge his gaze.My eyes stays glued to Rebecca.I can see the sheer excitement as everything's going as she planned.Ashley too.I catch her leaning over Rebecca as they whisper something I don't catch.I let them have that one.Let them merry. Let them think it's going good.But when it claps back, they won't be smiling.Of course the crowd erupted. Cheers.Applause.Until…“Does anyone have an objection to this?” Benjamin, the older blonde who's also the emcee asks, his eyes darting across the room.Silence.Everywhere is so quiet you could hear a pin drop.But I can feel it deep in my bone. That one person won't let this go.Rebecca stands. Just like I said she would.A smirk crossed my face but it dies off clean.Julian

  • Her Return, His Regret    129 The reveal

    ***~~Soren~~***A month later….The Lancaster clan is buzzing with people from higher-ups, reporters, different media teams.It's the official reveal of the next Lancaster heir, the firstborn child.An occasion that holds every thirty years.Which means that an heir is mandated to have a successor before he or she turns thirty.Or at least someone pregnant by him.News has even spread that Dahlia Rhodes pulled out of Bsg and went back to Deloitte.We got a backlash for it of course but I managed to pull through.Now, Rebecca thinks she's left for good.Ashley too.Eden bows as I get to the front door alongside Hunter and Knox.Inside, Julian is standing arm-in-arm with Rebecca who's all beaming.Alfred is sitting at the head of the long table prepared for the elites.“Soren,” Julian calls as we inch closer with a smile on his face. “Go say hello to a few guests,”Seeing a smile on my father's face freaks me out.I'm not sure how often he smiles.I don't respond by words. I just nod

    ***~~Soren~~***My screen lights up and it's Delilah.I reach for it, fast, and with a smile creeping up my face.“You got me a new car?” Her voice is laced thick with disbelief.“You like it?” I mused.“Soren, you honestly didn't have to,” she breathed. “And it's the latest model, must've cost a fortune.”I lean back into my chair and smile. “Well, I can afford it, and I want you to have it,”I can hear her hiding a chuckle.“There's no winning in this case, is that right?”“That's right, baby.”“Don't call me that,” she groans out in that tone that tells me she likes it and trying to pretend not to.I bet she's rolling her eyes hard.“I have a long list of the names I want to call you, wanna hear it?”Her breathing slows. “Definitely not,” she mused. “But hey mister, you gotta slow down, don't want to get used to this,”“You should,” I blurt out. “Because giving is my love language, Lilah. Brace yourself,”“Gifting is your love language?” she repeats with a hoarse voice.I smirk, p
