Hearing this undoes something in me.

I honestly didn't see this one coming.

Paternity fraud?

Ashley's a bitch.

I don't even know what to feel.

How to react.

It's been an hour since the chairman left my office and I couldn't get this out of my mind.

Rebecca is in on this too.

She's been the mastermind behind everything while she plays the doting wife to Julian.

That explains why she didn't want me pregnant.

But all for what?

And Soren doesn't even know this yet.

  • Her Return, His Regret    105 Make it go away

    ***~~Soren~~***Knox takes the glass off me. “That's enough drink in one night.”I groan, running a hand through my hair.“This will pass, trust me.” He adds, taking the glass very far away.I didn't think this would break me.Realizing that a kid I've loved for five years isn't mine.I'm trying to hold it down, watching Ashley pretending all day makes me sick.“We won't lose her, Soren.” She had said. “We won't lose our little girl.”I nod, hands in my pocket, staring at June from the transparent door.June will come out of this. She's a strong little girl.I try to tell myself this.And thankfully it worked.The doctor came out announcing that she's out of the woods.And even though she's still unconscious, and might be out for days, there's hope.I was dying inside, trying to put up this facade, trying to act like I wasn't hurting.But the second Hunter dragged me down to Knox's bar.I took it out on alcohol.And now that I think about it, there were really no resemblance between

  • Her Return, His Regret    104 Make them bleed

    ***~~Delilah~~***My thumb hovers over the screen. Part of me wants to call Soren, to check in.But the other part is hesitating.It's been hours since he rushed out and I've been restless.More than I want to admit.June was admitted and she's vomiting blood.That's very disturbing.I stare down at Soren's digits.But I can't tell why I'm this hesitant.I push aside my thoughts. It's his kid's life on the line, whatever it is can wait.Swallowing a hard lump, I dial his number.It rings once, twice, three times before he picks up.“Lilah…” his voice is firm but there's an edge there.“How's June?” I ask tersely.He sucks in a breath. “I can't say, she's– just here, on this damn bed and there's nothing I can do.”I can't but feel the pain in his voice.No parent deserves to go through this.“I'm so sorry about this,” the words comes without hesitation. “She'll come out of this.”A pause.“Soren…are you there?”“Yes— it's just, uhm..thanks.” he says, voice low.I end the call and hea

  • Her Return, His Regret    103 Waiting is torture

    ***~~Soren~~***I almost ran into the emergency ward. But stops in front of the nurse behind the desk.I rush through my name and explanation about June being admitted a while ago.“The doctor is still attending her. If you'd like to wait for a —,”I spin, striding toward the double doors along the corridor.“Mr. Lancaster, you can't go in there,” the nurse says behind. “Please just wait for the doctor to be out,”Waiting is torture.I just want June to know I'm here with her.God.I snap my eyes close, chest heaving.My stress levels are at an all-time high, but I know I can't make this any harder than it needs to be.I nod and step back, pacing the hallway, my nerves buzzing.But that's when I see Mrs Brown and a woman from the school, hurrying toward the hallway.I rush to her.“Mr. Lancaster–,”“What happened to my daughter?” I cut in, voice strained.She swallows, looking somewhat tired. The other woman steps in. “June was fine before lunch break, but just after that she was

  • Her Return, His Regret    101 His firstborn child

    ***~~Delilah~~***“Liam!” June squeals as she spots Liam.She comes running up to us with a big grin.I'm expecting to see Soren.Maybe Ashley.But it was his driver.He nods at me as we watch the kids interact.Then I hunch down, kiss Liam goodbye and caress June's cheek before their teacher comes.I wave at them and only when they're out of sight did I spin.Soren's car wasn't at his spot when I got to work.And I can't tell why I'm looking out for him.I exhale deeply, trying to get it off my chest.But it lingers the moment Sam addressed a meeting in his stead.Soren Lancaster missing an important meeting? That's not like him at all.He's someone that puts work first.Back then, he often spends his days at the office. He only comes home just to shower and change before heading back to work.His hard work helped L&S grow into what it is today.I can't help but feel a pang of worry creeping into my chest.Sam didn't say much about his absence, just that he's unavailable at the mom

  • Her Return, His Regret    100 No love lost

    ***~~Soren~~***Delilah is underneath me, breathing hard as she stares into my eyes.Then I see it.A tear slipping out of her eyes.Dropping down her cheeks.My heart shatters and it kills me to see her this way.Broken.Hurt.My hand reaches for her face and I wipe it off, leaning in until our head touch, eyes closed, thumb brushing her cheek.“Don't, please.” I mutter, my voice shaky.Her eyes softens, her body leaning into my touch.I mumble words that are barely coherent, our lips just a breath apart.But she doesn't stop me, didn't fuss or push me off.Her eyes just lingers on my face. The way she's looking at me punches every thought clean out of my head. Everything inside me stirs, my cock twitch, throbbing hard against my pants.But I hesitate a bit, eyes on her lips, measuring.Her lips part, just a little and my breathing dulls.Fuck me.I want to kiss her so bad.And I do.My lips crash into hers with a force that sucks the breath right out of her lungs.She stiffens bu

    ***~~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
