SERAPHINA

The curtains were drawn halfway, allowing enough morning light to spill into the sitting room of the Finn estate.

The marble floors gleamed, and the air smelled faintly of old books and lemon tea.

Everything was calm, expensive and glowing.

I sat with one leg crossed over the other, a teacup resting delicately between my fingers as I surfed my phone, exchanging texts with one of the men who were supposed to handle Quinn.

“She got away.”

I read the text once, then again. My shoulders s

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 128: PEACE AT LAST

    QUINNSix weeks later.I used to fear silence. For years, silence meant something bad was coming.Another betrayal.Another loss.Another fight.But this morning, silence felt different. It felt like peace.The bright morning sunlight spilled across the room. I watched her chest rise and fall beneath the blanket. Every few seconds, she made a sound in her sleep.Sometimes I still catch myself staring at her. Just staring. As if I expected to wake up and discover she had only been a dream.After everything that happened, the losses, the fear, the blood, the heartbreak. After all, there was an end. I wondered how this beautiful soul survived the dark phases with me.A small yawn escaped her. I smiled. Motherhood was both exhausting and wonderful. Sometimes it demanded staying up all night. I was still learning. Still adjusting and making mistakes.“Quinn!”Joe’s voice rolled through the house.I rolled my eyes. There he was. The most overprotective uncle in human history. I heard of post

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 127: ANOTHER QUINN IS BORN

    JASPER“We have a complication.”The doctor’s words sucked every ounce of air from the room.One second, the room was loud with instructions and movement. The next, everything seemed distant and muted. My heartbeat became the only sound I could hear.Everything happened so fast, and before I could realize it, nurses rushed forward. Another doctor, then another. People started speaking in medical terms I couldn’t understand.My heart pounded violently.“What complication?”The question came out rough. No one answered me. My gaze fell on Quinn, biting the sheets and wincing at the pain. It was only then that I wished I could give birth to the child on her behalf.I couldn’t stand watching her in tears on that bed. Her face had gone pale. I had seen Quinn face killers, courtrooms, betrayals and impossible odds.But nothing terrified me more than seeing fear in her eyes now. Because this time there was no enemy to fight. No one to blame. Just fate standing between her and our child.I ha

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 126: THE DAY MY WATER BROKE

    QUINNI cried to bed last night. Not tears of pain, heartbreak or bitterness. But tears of healing and redemption.Seeing all those who were once against me on their knees was so overwhelming. One of the things I never prepared for in months.Waking up this morning, I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. No nightmare woke me from sleep. No fear sat on my chest. No anxiety waited for me to open my eyes.Just peace. A beautiful feeling.Slowly, I placed my hand over my stomach, and my son kicked. I wondered what he would look like. The scan had revealed his gender. Me or Jasper? He kicked again, as if listening to my silent conversation.I smiled. For years, every morning had been about survival. Today was different. For the first time in a very long time, I was thinking about tomorrow.The nursery door stood across the hallway. I found myself standing there a few minutes later. Looking, dreaming and imagining. A crib sat against the wall. Tiny clothes filled the drawers.A rocking ch

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 125: THINGS ARE FALLING IN PLACES

    JOEI woke up to the smell of something burning. Immediately, I sat upright.“What the hell?”I rushed downstairs and then to the kitchen. It was messy. Smoke drifted from the frying pan.Quinn stood in the middle of it with a spatula in one hand and a look of pure confusion on her face. I stared. She stared back.“Good morning.”I looked at the pan.“Please tell me you are not trying to cook?”Her laugh filled the kitchen.“I can cook; what do you mean?” she teased. “I actually fell asleep on the couch while the stew boiled.”“What?”We both laughed. Then I gently took the spatula from her hand.“Move. I will handle it from here.”“No, you will not.”I held her hand, playfully firm. “Come and leave. You don’t want to fall asleep beside the cooker.”The argument continued for another minute before Wilson came in. Our father. He took one look at the kitchen. Then immediately turned around.“Nope.”I burst out laughing. Quinn threw a dish towel at him.Breakfast ended up becoming one of

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 124: ROAD TO REDEMPTION

    JASPERI sat outside the ICU and watched people walk past.Hours had passed since my father’s collapse. Yet, I remained exactly where I had been. The hard plastic chair dug into my back. My abdomen sill hurt from the wound. My head hurt more.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Quinn. My father struggling for breath. Then Quinn again.I thought the truth would bring clarity. Instead, it brought war. The father I admired was a lie. The father I loved was real. Somehow, both men existed in the same body.I hated him.I loved him.I wanted justice.I still wanted another chance for him.The contradictions were tearing me apart.A doctor finally approached.“Mr. Finn?”I stood immediately. “How is he, doctor?” I asked, shaking.It was then that I realized that no matter how ugly a monkey was, he was still loved by his parents. No matter how vile I thought my father was, I still wanted him to survive.“He is awake.”I exhaled.“He asked for you.”The doctor didn’t mention recovery or improv

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 123: PULLING THE STRINGS  

    MORRISON"The Attorney-General has agreed."I exhaled. Weeks of pressure and pulling strings I swore I would never pull again had all come down to this."It's done?"“Yes.”A pause.“The remaining corruption charges are being withdrawn.”I ended the call and walked close to the office window and stared out. Jasper Finn was free.Hopefully, this decision doesn’t backfire. I had thought of it for days. After finding out Quinn went to visit him in the infirmary and kept it a secret, I knew I had to do it just this once for her happiness.Not because Jasper deserved favours or happiness. But because Quinn deserved peace.“Lies.”Another part of me responded immediately.It wasn’t entirely about Quinn’s peace. It was about me being in her good books. Standing a chance in her heart. Doing it just to please her.Love was a strange disease. It survived rejection, humiliation and common sense. Mine certainly had. This same Quinn rejected me. Yet, I still stood beside her.A sudden thought ente

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   Chapter 10: Danger

    MORRISONShe was becoming a problem.Not because she was weak, but because she was starting to think ahead, calculating, controlled and dangerous. I had never seen Quinn this careful.She didn’t open the door. Most women would have. At that state, she was supposed to be vulnerable, emotionally and p

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   Chapter 9: The First Crack In Seraphina

    QUINNMy fingers wrapped around the phone, processing Joe’s words.My heart skipped. Because what Joe was implying was not impossible. It was something I hadn’t allowed myself to consider.I didn’t answer him immediately because the question caught me off guard and unsettled me.I controlled and tr

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   Chapter 8: I left

    QUINNMy grip tightened around my bag as I walked past the receptionist without hesitation.I didn’t slow down or look back. Because if I did, I knew exactly what I would see: two men who thought power meant control and that I was something to be ‘handled’. Not so anymore.Whatever I do henceforth

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   Chapter 7: The Decision

    QUINNIt felt like the line had been drawn in that room. Not on the floor, but between two men who refused to step back. Jasper stood on one side, a man who never valued what he had until it slipped through his fingers.Morrison stood on the other, a man who didn’t want to love but to take.He woul
