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
Her Return, His Regret 141 Just because she asked
***~~Soren~~***The morning is overcast and bleak as I drive to the police station.I didn't think I'd go, at least not sooner.Lilah mentioned it but my brain had refused to let it sink.Not until I got Susan's call.June wasn't missing like she thought she was.It'll be weird that she can get past the bunch of guards at the front gate.But Susan couldn't find her still.We searched the entire house till l decided to check the cameras.June went into my old study.A room I hadn't entered in years.Who could have thought she'd be there.And when I step into the door, she was a crying mess.I couldn't wrap my head around why she'd want Ashley when she has me.She's been fussing about wanting to see her.I thought that's how kids are. That she'd probably forget and we can all move on.But I was wrong.June's tantrums kept coming as the day goes by.Now, I can't help but admit, Lilah was right.Maybe I can't keep June away from Ashley.As a matter of fact I had promised June that she'd
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 stu
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 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
