Her Return, His Regret 110 A moment of ruin
***~~Delilah~~***Soren walks back to me, like a storm in a black button- down shirt.He is shaking with anger.I could feel his chest pounding fast as I lean into him.The fabric of his shirt is soft, but the muscle underneath is anything but.I just don't know why. But I feel safe with him here.He wipes my face. “It's okay. I'm here now. I'm so sorry,”His voice, words, touch, everything soothes me.I try to blink back my tears but what Nathan did to me is on repeat in my mind.I knew he's a jerk but I never thought he'd go to this extent.Soren keeps apologizing as if it was his fault it happened.After a while he turned to Cameron. “Thank you for what you did. I owe you one.”“I didn't do it for you. I did it for Lilah.” He mused and I could hear a hint of amusement in his tone. “At least you know I have a spine now.”Soren hides a chuckle and nods. “I will have this returned to you in the morning. Again, thank you, Cameron.” he says, pointing to his suit jacket on my arms.Sor
Her Return, His Regret 110 No one touches what's mine
***~~Soren~~***I lean in and kiss Liam’s forehead, pulling the sheets over him.I drop the book on the nightstand and switch off the light before heading out.My thoughts has been all over the place since Delilah left.A date.Something stirred within me.I know it's with him— Logan.A knot forms in my stomach, twisting hard.The more I think about it, the more I get restless.I check my time, it's been thirty minutes already and she isn't back.Seeing her with him feels like Lilah is slipping out of my hand bit by aching bit.God.My nerves are buzzing.I could've followed her, but I gotta be with Liam, and I didn't want to come off as a stalker.And then, there's Karen, who I don't trust to leave Liam in her care.Sure enough she's there, at the sitting room, a glass in hand, her eyes on me as I decend the stairs.I have a very bad feeling about this woman's presence in Lilah's life.“If you want Adelia. I can't make it happen.”I blink.Who the hell misplaces their only child's
Her Return, His Regret 109 Eyes don't lie
****~~Delilah~~***What he wants?I search the corridor, not one is there.It's quiet, eeriely quiet.“When Logan was going on and on about this lady who he couldn't wait to get in a relationship with. I was surprised, he never talks about women.”My heart skips.Jaw slacking.Nathan knows Logan?He smirks. “I got curious. I wanted to see who my cousin fell in love with. You could imagine my shock when he sent your picture.”He glares down at me. “I knew I needed to have you back. You're mine, Dahlia. This body is mine,”His grip tightens around my waist and my breath caught.I try to push him off me, to no avail.My jaw locks. “I'm not yours Nathan. Get your filthy hands off me.”He laughs but there's no real humor in it. “Of course, and neither is Logan. You just want to use him, then drop your sorry-ass speech of compatibility.”That's when it dawned on me that it was all him.The text.The change of venue.It wasn't Logan.It was him.“You did this, you texted me, you're delusio
Her Return, His Regret 108 What's wrong with him?
***~~Delilah~~***My phone dings and it's a text from Logan.I almost forgot about the dinner.But I blink at his text.He wanted me to come at 7PMHe had said 8 in the morning.A change of venue too.It beats me, somehow, but he said something came up.Well, that's it. I think I'll talk to Logan about us. Tell him I don't see us that way.I hope he understands and we can remain friends.I heave and fire out a text to Jenaya, asking her to look after Liam for an extra hour while I go sort things out with Logan.I can't afford to leave Liam alone in the house with my mother.Evening came in a blink of an eye. I groan and force myself into the bathroom. I had less than an hour before 7PM.My heart sits in my throat half the time in the bathroom, going over my rehearsed speech to Logan.“Logan, you're a good man and you deserve someone who loves you as much—-,”I shake my head. That's too blunt.I go again.“It's not you, it's me. I'm not in the right head space for a committed relatio
Her Return, His Regret 107 Who's Jade?
***~~Soren~~***I blink awake, confused at first about where I am. The room is dim and I'm lying on a couch, not my own bed.I sit up slowly, trying to shake off the fog in my head. The last thing I clearly remember is Hunter dragging me to Knox's bar to drown out the night with drinks.One glass after another till I lost count.After that, everything gets blurry— flashes of bar lights, the taste of whiskey, and muffled sounds.Still, feeling disoriented, I look around and that's when it clicks.This is Delilah's place.The blanket beside me tells me someone took care of me while I was out.I rub my eyes and stretch, trying to shake off the stiffness in my body.How did I end up here?Then I hear tiny footsteps and before I can blink…“Soren, you're up!?.” Liam squeals, his face beaming with a bright smile.A smile breaks through my face.I— I just couldn't help it.I nod and within a blink of an eye, he's over mine.Then comes his questions that always cracks me up.“You sleep on a
Her Return, His Regret 106 That was close
***~~Delilah~~***Soren's words caught me off guard, and for a moment, I'm unsure how to react.I glance down at him and I see the hurt in his eyes.His drunken state couldn't even hide it.He looks so lost. And I can help but wonder what set him off.A lump forms in my throat, I swallow it down.“Soren—” I say his name softly, unsure of how to proceed. As his eyes bore into mine, I heave. “What happened back there?” For once, I don't put up any shield. No calculative move. No hesitation. Just pure concern.He takes his hand off me and leans back into the couch.I don't move, my eyes are on him.“I—June isn't mine,” the words come out strained.Uh- oh.That's sad.I didn't think he'd find out sooner.“I overheard Ashley on the phone with some guy, Jade. He's the father.” His breath shudders out. “I feel stupid. I—I”He trails off, looking like he's about to shatter.My heart goes out for him.He looks up slowly, barely even keeping up.There's a brief pause.Then he narrows his eye
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
