~~Delilah~~

“Soren!”

Liam squeals, giggling on his chair.

Seeing him makes my stomach dip.

I've spent a generous amount of time ignoring him the entire day.

But here he is, looking so hot in that black shirt, that clings to his arm, and exposing a bit of his chest.

His dark hair is neatly styled, highlighting every magnificent angle of his face.

And somehow my eyes dips low to his crotch, instantly noticing the swell filling his slacks.

My breathing dulls, and I peel my gaze off him.

  • Her Return, His Regret    140 Call me dad

    ***~~Delilah~~***My palms are sweaty. I don't mean for it too. It just happens.Soren will be here any moment from now.And— I've actually thought about it.Us.And what we have now is way bigger than all my fears together.It's something real. I've seen it. I've felt it. I don't have a doubt whatsoever.Which is why I've decided to tell Liam he does have a dad. To come clean.My baby deserves to know.The doorbell rings and I exhale.I didn't think I'd be this nervous about it and all. Yet here we are.I'm just so keyed up.“Is that Soren,” Liam lifts his head from his tablet.“Maybe. I'll have to get the door to see,” I stand, walking over to the door.I drag in a ragged breath and pull the door open.Soren smiles. “Hey,” he lets out but studies me.I try to smile but my nerves are on edge. I tuck my hair to the back of my hair.“You're nervous,” he observes.“A bit,” I admit, bitting down on my lips. “I thought him to always tell the truth. But I did the exact opposite,”He take

  • Her Return, His Regret    139 He's at the door

    ***~~Delilah~~***I stop at the bottom of the stairs, in one of Soren's oversized tees and a pair of his boxers.I stared at the packed dining table.Blinking, my eyes trails to the table just in time to see Soren coming out with a bottle of chilled water.A smile breaks through his face. He puts down the bottle and starts walking toward me.“You're up? I didn't want to disturb you.”“Are we having a visitor?” I let out.“Maybe. Maybe not.” He says with a heave.That makes me pause.And then it clicks.“Cameron? Shit. I almost forgot,” I say, glancing down at myself. “I have to change into something else,”He snakes his arms around me. “Why? You're perfect this way,”“I'm on your fucking boxers,”He leans in, cupping my face in his hand. “It doesn't matter. That's what couples do,”I try to shift my gaze from him. “We're not a thing…”“Yet…” he mused. “And I'm waiting, you know.”I roll my eyes. “Soren. It's dinner and this is the first time you're inviting your brother over,”He st

  • Her Return, His Regret    138 Brothers undoing

    ***~~Soren~~***I pause halfway to the dining area, staring at the back of Cameron's head.We've never talked, like actually talk.It's been from one bicker to another.We never got along as brothers.You know I always use to think he wanted what I had.First, it was dad's love and attention.After he brought them home and introduced them; his new wife and kid.I understood instinctively that Rebecca didn't like me that much.That no matter how hard I try her hatred of me was never going to thaw. So I just didn't try.But it horrible living with them.My father was in my face but it felt like he wasn't really there.I was never in his line of sight. It was always Rebecca and Cameron.To Julian, he was the golden child.I felt robbed. But I never spoke about it. I lived with it.Then came the competitions.Cameron mirrored me down to the clothes I wear.Rebecca will always want him to have twice as that.I remember my fourteenth birthday where Grandpa got me a gaming setup and headse

  • Her Return, His Regret    137 The slow rot

    ***~~Delilah~~***After dinner, Meghan was the first to leave.Hunter follows.Jenaya had excused herself to use the bathroom and I can't find Knox anywhere.“Thank you for inviting us out,” I tell Alfred.He smiles. “I'm glad y'all came to keep this old man company,”Across the room I can see Elena and Julian, talking.I share a look with Soren.Alfred notices of course and clears his throat.“How about Liam and June stay over?” He breathed out with hopeful eyes. “I'll have my driver bring them home after the weekend,”I tilt my head. But before I can breathe again he adds.“I need to spend more time with Liam, see if I can make up for the lost time,” he says. “By the way, when are you planning to tell him?”My brows lifts.Right.That has been on my mind too. I've taken a far too cautious steps that led nowhere.Liam loves Soren, so much that it beats me sometimes.I know he'd be the happiest to know he's his father.But I feared the questions that'll come right after.I had lied.

  • Her Return, His Regret    136 Dinner with Alfred

    ***~~Delilah~~***“Do you think your mother would come?” Soren drags in a ragged breath.“I'm not sure,” he says. “It's actually fine if she doesn't. I understand that things are not the same anymore. She has a new family and I don't want to push her.”I watch him closely.It's not hard to tell that he actually wants her to come.I squeeze his hand. “Yeah. I think it's best we don't interfere.”He nods and a chuckle slips. “Julian came to talk to me about it. I couldn't disclose anything, not even her digits. It's not in my place to,”What's done is done.But I do hope it gets better.Julian needs to heal and move on.And Elena?Maybe Soren's right.She needs some sort of closure.****“Slow down Liam,” I let out. “June, you're going to fall,” I call after them as they run up to Alfred.The chairman wraps his arms around them, his face beaming.Ugh…I exhale slowly, feeling Soren's hand around my waist.“They'll be fine,” he says softly.It’s just — I get paranoid when they run like

  • Her Return, His Regret    135 Life's too short to be unhappy

    ***~~Delilah~~***A week breathing actual air without watching my back.A week since the chaos ended.A week trying to get to know Soren better and better.I went from having one kid to two in a twinkle of an eye.It's been overwhelming.A little different.Maybe not so little.June's been throwing a fit.Something about wanting to see her mom.At first, Soren thought she'd get over it. I mean, she's just a kid.Except she's a kid that has gotten used to sharing both parents.I can't tell if it'll get better with time.Or how soon she's going to forget.Soren has full custody over her. As a matter of fact Ashley signed off all rights in a bid for money.But I can tell you for a fact that June likes Ashley, maybe more.We'll see how that goes.The charges against Rebecca are hefty. She's facing life term for murder, that's for sure.As for Ashley.There's the paternity fraud, extortion and of course attempted murder.Strangely, Rebecca's confessing to all accusations.Everyone's shock
