Bryce wasn't aware of what came over him. He just acted out of instinct. A few seconds ago, he was discussing a project with his business allies. Now, he was standing here…holding Rachel's grip tight.

Rachel was visibly terrified. Her eyes were widened as he held her, his blue eyes piercing into her chestnut eyes.

Bryce never cared. After their first anniversary, he didn't care about who she talked to, the kind of people she made her friends and if she gave her body to other men.

But here he

  • His Regret Began When She Let Go   Chapter 0109

    Rachel’s phone rang just as she sat on the cushion. She hesitated when she saw the name on the screen.Bryce.She didn’t move, her thumb hovering above the screen as memories she had carefully buried pressed back into her mind. There was a time when that name had meant security, then confusion, and finally distance. Now it meant something she couldn’t fully define, only that it rarely brought peace.Marissa noticed immediately from across the room. “Who is it?” she asked cautiously.Rachel didn’t answer right away. Her eyes remained fixed on the screen.“It’s Bryce,” she said finally.Marissa’s expression tightened slightly. “Your ex-husband?”Rachel nodded once. “You're ex-husband too.” The phone kept ringing, patient in a way that felt almost deliberate, as if it knew she would eventually answer. Rachel exhaled slowly and accepted the call. “Hello,” she said carefully.There was a brief pause on the other end, then Bryce’s voice came through, softer than she remembered, almost car

    Granny stood frozen in the doorway, her raised hand suspended in the air as Seraphina’s small voice echoed through the room.Then Granny blinked, as if snapping out of a shock she refused to accept.“What did you just say?” she asked sharply, her eyes narrowing at the child. “Don’t be ridiculous, niña. Step away from her.”Seraphina didn’t move from Jodie’s side. Instead, she clutched Jodie’s dress tighter, her small body trembling slightly but her voice steady in a way that surprised even Jodie.“She’s my mother,” Seraphina repeated softly.Granny’s expression twisted instantly, disbelief turning into irritation. “She’s done something to you,” Granny snapped, pointing at Jodie. “What drug did she use on you? What nonsense has she filled your head with?”Jodie stiffened immediately, but before she could speak, Seraphina shook her head quickly.“No,” she said, her voice rising slightly, almost panicked. “No, she didn’t.”Granny scoffed. “Then why are you speaking like this? You’ve know

    Jodie’s breath caught when the woman spoke as if nothing about the moment was unusual, as if a child running into her arms and calling her “Mamá” belonged naturally to her life. Her fingers curled slightly at her sides as she forced herself to steady her voice. “Who are you?” she asked again, slower this time, more controlled, though her eyes never left the woman’s face. The blonde woman shifted her stance gently, one hand still resting protectively on Seraphina’s head as the child clung to her leg with unquestioning trust. There was something calm in her expression, as though she had learned to answer difficult questions without letting them disturb her peace. “I’m the one who stayed while you were away,” she said simply. Jodie frowned slightly. “That’s not an answer.” The woman exhaled softly, almost like she had expected that response. Then she bent slightly so she could meet Seraphina’s eyes for a moment before looking back at Jodie again. “I was hired,” she said at last,

  • His Regret Began When She Let Go   Chapter 0106

    Dominic did not waste time second-guessing the thought once it settled in his mind.If Rachel had carried that mark since childhood, and if her mother had died the day of the accident, then someone else had been there before everything ended. Someone who knew enough to place that symbol on a child. Someone who had been trusted. Elara. He pulled out his phone immediately and dialed her number.Elara picked up, her voice already tense. “Dominic? What’s wrong? Is Rachel okay?”He didn’t answer that question. “I need to see you,” he said instead, his tone direct and leaving no room for delay.There was a pause on the other end. “What happened?” she pressed. “You sound—”“At the café,” Dominic cut in, naming a location without hesitation. “Now.”Elara went quiet for half a second longer, clearly sensing the urgency behind his voice. “I’ll be there,” she said.Dominic ended the call without another word.By the time Elara arrived, Dominic was already seated.He had chosen a corner table, o

    Rachel’s breath caught in her throat, her body still frozen from the way Dominic had lifted her dress without warning. The air between them felt tight, stretched thin by something she could not yet understand, something that had nothing to do with anger alone.“Dominic…” she began again, but this time her voice faltered.His eyes did not leave the mark. That small, almost delicate tattoo that had always been nothing more than a quiet part of her body suddenly felt exposed, like it had been turned into something dangerous without her consent.“Where did you get this mark from?” he repeated, slower now, his voice controlled in a way that made it worse.Rachel swallowed. “I…” Her lips parted, but the words didn’t come out immediately. She had never been asked this before, never had to think about it beyond the simple truth she had always known.“It’s…” she tried again, her voice trembling slightly now. “It’s always been there.”Dominic didn’t react.Rachel’s fingers curled at her sides.

    The word did not even make sense at first.Dominic stood in the middle of his office, his phone still in his hand, his mind struggling to catch up with what he had just heard. The air felt thicker like something invisible had wrapped itself around his chest and tightened.Rachel’s mother? The woman from the accident. Dead because of him… or because of something far bigger than him.His jaw tightened slowly, but he said nothing. He didn’t trust his voice yet.The men in black seemed to notice the shift. The first man leaned back slightly, studying Dominic with a sharper gaze now, less amused, more measured.“You look surprised,” he said.Dominic finally moved. “You’re saying,” he began slowly, “that the woman from that accident… the one who died… was Rachel’s mother.”“Yes.”“And you’re also saying,” Dominic continued, his voice lowering, “that it wasn’t an accident.”Then the man nodded once. “It wasn’t.”Something cold slid down Dominic’s spine.The second man spoke this time, his t

    The man across the street had been there since morning. He constantly changed his clothes, wandering around the gate. Dominic noticed him when he left the mansion. He noticed him again at his company's parking lot. And again when his car stopped at a traffic light and the black sedan stayed two ve

    Dominic was pulled away almost immediately. Businessmen closed in around him—men with sharp suits, sharp smiles, and questions layered with interest. People offered handshakes, cards exchanged and praises offered. Dominic responded smoothly, his attention split between the conversation and the wo

    The news replayed itself for the third time.Mr. Smithfield sat rigidly in the dimly lit study, his fingers tightening around the crystal glass in his hand as the television screen flashed Rachel’s image again. She was elegant and unmistakably beautiful. Just like his first wife— her mother, Meri
