Orana’s point of view

“Anthony.” I smiled weakly at him. “It’s been a while.”

“It’s been long,” he said, his lips pulling into a smile as he stepped into my office, hands tucked into his pockets. He had that easy mood about him as he strode into the house.

“What are you doing here?”

“Came to see you, actually.” He glanced around the office, taking it in. “Heard you are now CFO, came to say congratulations.” His eyes came back to me, amused.

“Thanks, but where are the flowers?” I asked, biting b

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 129

    Orana’s point of view“Where are we going?” I asked Vaughn after he picked me up from work.“Somewhere nice,” he said, with a smile as I raised my eyebrows at him.“What, you don’t trust me?” he asked, and my breath hitched.Of course, I trusted him, but we were still working on whatever this was between us.Instead of a restaurant, we pulled up outside a mansion that sat back from the road behind a line of trees.“Whose house is this?” I asked, my eyes roaming around the place. Because it couldn’t be.“Mine,” he smiled at me, getting out of the car, and my jaw fell to the ground. When did he buy another house?“I didn’t know you bought another house,” I said, looking up at it as I got out of the car after he got the door for me.He laughed, his voice carrying over the quiet. “It’s always been here. I just don’t bring people to it.”Something about the way he said it settled warmly in my chest. He led me inside, through a foyer, then straight to the kitchen.“I will give you a tour la

I haven’t seen him since my kidnapping, but he had texted me a few times to check on me, and we spoke, but just for a few minutes.“I don’t think you need more,” he said, gesturing towards the huge bouquet on my desk with a smile. “I take it you are back together?”I felt my cheeks warm and tried to school my expression. “We’re working on things.”“I gathered.” He dropped into the chair across from my desk without waiting for an invitation, the same way he always had, the same way h

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 127

    Orana’s point of viewThe moment his lips met mine, a soft gasp escaped me, and he used it to deepen the kiss. His hands were warm against my cheeks, his thumbs tracing my jawline with a fierce intensity that made my knees go weak.I reached out blindly, my fingers bunching into the fabric of his coat, pulling him into me.He tasted like mint, like the chocolate dessert we had shared, but also, he tasted like him. Like sin, sweet, beautiful sin, and everything I had spent weeks trying to convince myself I could live without.When he finally pulled back, he didn’t go far. He rested his forehead against mine, his chest heaving as he drew in sharp breaths. His eyes were dark, filled with such an intensity that made my throat tight.“You’re going to be the death of me, Orana,” he whispered, his voice rough and laced with a breathless laugh.“You ate the street food,” I managed to say, my voice trembling as I tried to compose myself. “I’m a woman of my word.”The corners of his mouth ticke

    Orana’s Point of View“Do you think I should go for sneakers or heels?” I asked Sienna, showing her the shoes. My heart was racing, and I couldn’t think straight. Vaughn had said comfortable clothes, so I went with jeans, sneakers, and a T-shirt, second-guessing the choice now, looking at how casual I looked.“I honestly feel that even if you wore a lounge suit, he wouldn’t really mind.”“Sienna”“You look beautiful, okay? I love what this is, okay? It’s casual and chic,” she says, but I don’t feel that beautiful. Maybe I shouldn’t have said yes to the date.When I texted him, it was maybe a heat-of-the-moment thing, and I acted without thinking.The doorbell rang, and I froze, looking at her with my eyes wide.“Relax. I’m sure this will be fine,” she assured me, her hands on my shoulders, before smiling at me.“Okay. Fine. I hope I’m fine,” I said before making my way out and going to kiss Liorah, who was drawing in her room.“See you,” I said, then made my way out of the house.Whe

    Orana’s point of viewTo say my heart skipped would be putting it mildly. Vaughn had a way of making it difficult to remember why I was supposed to be angry with him.I didn’t move after the elevator doors closed in front of me.This morning I had woken up to fresh flowers waiting outside my door. I had thrown the first two bouquets, and within the hour he had texted me asking if I hadn’t liked them. I had typed back a single word.‘Yes’I couldn’t help the small smile that surfaced now, thinking about the absurdity of it, that he would actually go out and find something I really liked.I loved the flowers; that’s why I kept them in my room. I smiled to myself when I got dressed.I spent the rest of the day in meetings and catching up on some things. When it was time to leave, there was a knock on my door, and when I lifted my eyes, there he was.“What are you—” I started, but paused.“Thought I could pick you up.” He said, walking into my office, hands in his pockets. My eyes raked o

    Vaughn’s point of viewWe stayed on that hill long enough before I finally drove her home. She was quiet most of the way back, but it wasn’t like before when she ignored me or acted like I didn’t exist. Something had shifted, even if she hadn’t said the words. She hadn’t pulled away when I took her hand at the last red light, and that was enough. She fell asleep before we reached her building, and once I pulled over, I looked at her; she was sleeping with her head leaning against the window.I rounded the hood of the car and went to the passenger door. I unbuckled her belt, and then I carried her to the door, her weight nothing against my chest.Sienna opened the door for me, and I made my way inside her room and laid her down carefully, pulling the blanket over her before I let myself leave.I sat there, brushing hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear. I leaned in and kissed her forehead before forcing myself out of her room because I might stay the whole night.Sienna

    Vaughn’s point of viewFive long fucking weeks that I haven’t held her in my arms. That she hasn’t looked at me with those eyes like I was something worth anything in this life.I stopped sleeping every night, watching her even as she tried to move on. When she came into the office for the meeting

    Orana’s point of viewThe office smelled like vanilla and coffee, and a slight scent of citrus. Someone had cleaned it recently, from the lack of dust on my desk.I sat behind the desk and powered on the computer, taking a deep breath. The screen reflected my tired face, and I smiled weakly, thinki

    Orana’s Point of ViewThe sound of the hairdryer filled the bathroom while I stared at my reflection, trying to dry my hair.I looked as if I hadn’t slept in weeks. Which wasn’t true because I spent most of my time in bed until last Friday, when Sienna allowed me to walk around.The shadows under m

    Orana’s Point of View“Did you find something?” I asked Sienna, who was plopped on the edge of the bed, a line on her forehead as she shook her head, her eyes locked on the screen.“I don’t understand,” she said, tapping her lips with her index finger, which she usually does when she’s in deep thou
