MORRISON

The whiskey in front of me had remained untouched for three straight hours.

I sat, staring at it while frustration and restlessness crawled steadily beneath my skin.

Rain clung to the windows like grief, refusing to leave. Behind me, reports remained scattered across the desk.

They comprised security footage and background checks files, among other documents. All of them carried the same irritating conclusion.

For three days. Three fucking days! There were no traces of Quinn. She vanis

  • 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 122: ALL CRASHING

    JASPERMy father was dying before the law could finish judging him.The consortium had fallen.Stones was in custody.Xavier was finished.Seraphina had been arrested.Quinn had found her family.And somehow, the only thing I could think about was the man lying in a hospital bed waiting for me. I had not seen his face, nor did I know what was wrong with him.People always said blood was thicker than water. Standing outside his hospital room, I wasn't sure I believed that anymore. Because if blood were truly everything, why did it hurt this much?If only we could see what the future holds in store for us, I wouldn’t have let him be my father from the start.The hospital was quiet. I was shown the ward and the room he was admitted to. I pushed the door open and saw him. My father, lying on the bed, frail, emaciated and weak. He looked up from the bed when I entered.His eyes dropped briefly to the folder in my hand, then returned to my face. He knew exactly why I was here. He heard ever

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 103: I MISS MY WIFE DEARLY, AND I WANT HER BACK!

    JASPERI hadn't slept properly in weeks. Every time I closed my eyes, Quinn came back. Not the woman who hated me now.The woman who waited up for me.The woman who smiled whenever I walked through the door.The woman who loved me when I had given her absolutely no reason to.I sat alone in the dar

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 102: A NEW PROBLEM

    JOEEven after the flight landed, the photograph refused to leave my mind. It sat there like a splinter beneath my skin.For years, my mother promised that one day the truth about my father would come out. I had imagined a hundred different stories. None of them looked like this. I had thought when

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 101: COULD MY FAMILY BE INVOLVED?

    JASPER“My father is one of them, Quinn. The Finn family has been protecting you for years.”Nobody spoke after I said that.Not Quinn.Not Seraphina.Not me.All that was written on Quinn’s face was confusion, disbelief and hurt. Because after surviving everything else, betrayal had found her agai

  • His Regret: I Am Untouchable Now   CHAPTER 100: THE TRUTH HE CAME WITH

    QUINNThe sensible thing to do should have been to leave for good.I should have gotten into my car, walked away and not looked back. Seraphina’s tears and fears shouldn’t have touched me. But somehow, her words still managed to live rent-free in my head for minutes.This was the problem with me. I
