The engine hummed steadily as Bryce drove, his hands tight around the steering wheel.

Rachel sat in the passenger seat, turned slightly toward the window, watching the city lights blur past. The silence that filled the car was heavy and almost suffocating.

Bryce stole a glance at her.

Her gown—the champagne gold dress meant for celebration—was no longer perfect. A dark stain had spread along the sleeve where the bullet had grazed her arm.

Miles, one of his private investigators, had tied a t

  • His Regret Began When She Let Go   Chapter 0060

    The mansion was quiet that evening. Rain tapped lightly against the tall windows, streaking the glass in silver lines. The funeral guests were gone. The staff had retreated. Dominic stood near the fireplace in the main sitting room, jacket removed, tie loosened slightly. He stared into nothing.Rachel watched him from the opposite end of the room. She had changed into a simple black dress. Her face was pale but composed.A knock echoed through the hall and Dominic’s gaze shifted toward the door. Hana appeared moments later.“You have visitors,” Hana said evenly.“At this hour?” Dominic asked.Hana nodded once. “Bryce, Marissa, and Evangeline.”Rachel straightened slowly. “What do they want?”Dominic’s expression hardened.“Public enemies paying condolences?”“So it seems,” Hana replied.Dominic buttoned his jacket again. “Let them in.”The doors opened and Bryce entered first. Tall, impeccably dressed, confidence radiating from every controlled movement. His expression was solemn—but

    The sky hung low and colorless over the private cemetery. A muted gray stretching endlessly above the rows of headstones. The air carried the faint scent of damp earth and lilies. Black vehicles lined the gravel path in disciplined symmetry, engines silent, doors closed with careful restraint.Alfredo’s casket rested beneath a canopy of white flowers. A dark mahogany and impeccably polished casket.Dominic stood at the front. His posture was tall, hands clasped behind his back, shoulders squared underneath a tailored black suit. He had not slept. The exhaustion showed in his features, but it did not soften him. Rachel stood beside him, her gloved hand wrapped tightly around his arm. She felt the tension radiating from him like a wire pulled too taut.Lucien positioned himself a step behind. Jodie lingered near the second row, her face composed, sunglasses shielding her eyes despite the dim light.The priest stepped forward. “Today,” he began solemnly, “we commend Alfredo to the mer

    Dominic stood in the center of the living room, phone still in his hand, eyes fixed on nothing. “They found poison,” he said at last. Rachel felt her pulse thud against her ribs. “Poison?” Lucien’s voice hardened. “What kind?” Dominic swallowed once. “Aconite.” Silence crashed over them. “It was in the last meal he ate at the hospital,” Dominic continued, each word controlled. “Mushroom risotto. The kitchen logs confirm it was delivered privately.” Rachel’s mind reeled. Mushroom risotto. Something so ordinary. “Aconite slows the heart,” Dominic said. “It mimics cardiac complications. Especially for someone already diabetic.” Lucien’s jaw clenched. “So someone deliberately murdered him.” The living room remained frozen after Dominic’s words. “I need to find out who did this.” he said and then he left. He did not wait for more questions. He needs to find out the truth behind the death of his father. He walked out with the same rigid control he had worn since the hospital, b

    Dominic held Jodie’s gaze for a long moment. The foyer felt smaller, tighter. Rachel could see the resistance behind his eyes—the instinct to shut Jodie out battling the need to know. Finally, he spoke. “Fine.” Rachel stiffened, she did not expect him to accept. “We’ll talk,” Dominic said. “Only five minutes. Once the time elapses, you'll leave.” Jodie’s lips curved slightly, victory concealed beneath sympathy. “That’s all I need.” Dominic turned toward the corridor leading to his study. “Inside there.” Rachel stepped forward. “Dominic….” He paused but didn’t look at her. “It concerns my father. I have to listen to her this time.” “And she doesn’t want me there?” Rachel replied sharply. Jodie gave an apologetic shrug. “It’s delicate. My time is already ticking.” Dominic’s voice hardened. “Rachel. Let it be.” The words landed heavier than intended and Rachel drew back instantly, masking the sting. “Do whatever you want.” Dominic walked ahead without another word. Jodie foll

    Smithfield poured himself a glass of whiskey before the news had fully settled across the city. “Confirmed?” he asked. The man across from him nodded once. “Alfredo Morello. He surfaced cardiac complications related to diabetes. It was pronounced this morning.” Smithfield leaned back in his leather chair and allowed the satisfaction to surface without restraint. “So the old lion is finally gone.” He lifted the glass in a silent toast. “Timing is everything.” The man hesitated. “Dominic is consolidating control already.” “Of course he is,” Smithfield replied. “That boy was raised for this. But grief disrupts judgment. And disruption is opportunity.” He took a slow sip. *** Evangeline felt her hands tremble. She had heard the news minutes ago from an associate. Alfredo was dead was he really dead? She sat in the living room, posture rigid, the television muted but flashing headlines at the bottom of the screen. Her breathing came shallow. Bryce entered, jacket slung over his

    The hospital corridor smelled of antiseptic. Dominic walked through it without slowing, his footsteps sharp against the polished floor. His jaw was set, phone still in his hand from the call that had dragged him out of breakfast. His father has been transferred to intensive Care, room 307. He pushed through the double doors. Lucien stood near the window, shoulders rigid. Adrain was pacing. Stephanie sat beside the bed, clutching Alfredo’s hand with both of hers as if warmth alone could anchor him to the world. Dominic’s eyes went straight to the bed. Alfredo looked smaller than he remembered. Tubes threaded into his arms. The steady beep of the monitor painted green lines across the screen. “What happened?” Dominic asked, voice controlled. “His sugar spiked in the night,” Adrain answered, not looking at him. “They said his organs were struggling.” Stephanie’s face was streaked with tears. “He was asking for you earlier.” Dominic stepped closer to the bed. “I’m here,” he said,
