Vaughn’s Point of View

They say if you want to kill a snake, you have to cut off its head. That’s exactly what Callahan fucking Fitzgerald did by going after Orana.

Orana is my entire world. She is everything to me. I would gladly fall on a knife for her if she asked me to, and I’d do it with a smile on my face just to keep her safe. I knew I’d have to deal with Callahan eventually, but right now, my wife needed me.

“They know. They fucking know,” James muttered, his hands trembling slightly on

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 178

    Orana’s Point of ViewMy father was about to pull the trigger. I could feel the cold shift in the air, the sudden stillness in his grip. He was going to kill me without blinking, without a second thought.“Anthony, please!” I pleaded, my voice breaking as fear gripped my throat.Sienna was knocked out cold, lying motionless on the damp gravel right at our feet. But before I could process anything else, my eyes locked onto Vaughn.Vaughn looked at me, and for the first time since I’d met him, I saw fear in his dark eyes. Vaughn was usually like stone, unreadable and commanding. But right now, I could see the wheels spinning behind his gaze. He was trapped. He was forced into an impossible corner, stuck between the threat to my life, his brother’s madness, and the shadow of my father.He was holding a rifle, clad in full tactical gear instead of his usual tailored suits. He didn’t look like the man I was used to. He looked like an operative straight out of a movie.“I love you,” I found

    Vaughn’s Point of ViewThey say if you want to kill a snake, you have to cut off its head. That’s exactly what Callahan fucking Fitzgerald did by going after Orana.Orana is my entire world.

I knew I’d have to deal with Callahan eventually, but right now, my wife needed me.“They know. They fucking know,” James muttered, his hands trembling slightly on his rifle as we stood in the shadows of the secondary perimeter. Behind all his panic was a woman he could never truly have; he’d fucked up by sleeping with her back then, but I was proud that he’d stepped up and decided to do right by that girl and their child. Sienna, on the other hand, had moved on, and right now she was going out with no one other than Darian.I pushed the thought aside, focusing on the tactical HUD on my wrist. “Is everyone in position?” I asked into my comms.“Team Alpha

    Orana’s Point of ViewThe location Anthony chose left me vulnerable. It was an abandoned industrial lot right along the riverbanks, surrounded by crumbling, multi-story brick warehouses with blown-out windows. If he or his men were posted inside any of those buildings, they could see every single move I made long before I’d ever spot them.I pulled my SUV to a slow stop near the edge of the water and cut the engine. Taking a deep, shuddering breath, I pushed the heavy door open and stepped out into the biting wind.I looked around the gravel lot, trying to keep my composure, when a tall, masked man stepped out from the shadows of an overgrown loading dock. He raised a black handgun, pointing it directly at my chest.I froze, my pulse hammering in my ears so loudly I could barely hear the river rushing behind me. I didn't know what to do.“You have the drive?” he barked, his voice muffled by the ski mask. His light eyes were cold as ice, and his heavy accent sounded Scottish or Irish;

    Orana’s Point of View“I’m not doing the meeting!” I argued, my voice echoing off the walls as I stepped back from him. “We have to find another way—a way that makes sure nothing happens to you!”Vaughn stepped in, cupping my face in his warm hands. He looked down into my eyes with such intensity. “I promised you that I would always protect you and the girls, Orana. And I plan on keeping that promise.”“Callahan planned this whole thing!” I gasped out, the realization dawning on me. “That’s why he took Liorah today! What’s going to happen to Liorah, Vaughn? He took her, and I know he’s planning to use her against us!”“Callahan will never hurt Liorah,” Vaughn stated calmly, trying to ground me. “And he likely doesn’t even know that we’ve already figured out he’s working with Anthony.”My chest heaved as I stared at my husband. “What’s on that drive, Vaughn?”Vaughn didn't answer right away. He turned toward the doorway and nodded at his brother. “James, give us a minute.”James nodded

    Vaughn’s Point of View“It’s not fucking Darian!” Sean barked, looking furious as I stared down at the monitor screen.“I know,” I said, leaning back in the leather chair, my mind racing as I tried to piece together who would pull off something this coordinated. I had a sickening suspicion brewing in my gut, but I didn’t want to jump to conclusions, so I kept my mouth shut and didn’t tell Sean just yet.We needed a way forward.Sean paced the room, throwing out potential solutions on how we could trace the asshole, but I barely heard a word he said. My breath caught in my throat when my phone buzzed in my hand, displaying Orana’s name on the screen. She had been calling me repeatedly.“A stór?” I answered, pressing the phone to my ear.“Vaughn... oh my God...” Her frantic, ragged sobs echoed through the speaker, sending a spike of adrenaline straight through my veins.I bolted out of my chair. “A stór, what’s wrong? What happened?”“I know who did it... I need to see you right now!”M

    Orana’s Point of ViewThe conference was just as I imagined it would be. When it was time for our panel, I took my seat and spoke openly about the shifting trends and current landscape of real estate. Once the discussion wrapped up, I answered a few thoughtful questions from the audience before we moved over to the private networking lounge for drinks.The moment I stepped down from the stage, Kameron was by my side, walking me around the room and introducing me to every major business mogul in the real estate industry.“Did I tell you you look absolutely beautiful, by the way?” Kameron asked softly, sliding up beside me.I chuckled, picking up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter’s tray. “You just did.”We spent the next few minutes catching up on life, trading the usual small talk that comes with not having seen someone in years. When I asked about his plans for the future, he admitted, almost sheepishly, that he was seriously considering moving to London.“It’s a big jump,”

    Orana’s Point of View“How could you?” I asked, my voice breaking on the last word.You! You, of all people, worked with my father?Callahan turned first. His eyes found mine, and there was no surprise or guilt in them. just satisfaction knowing he had me where he wanted.I had thought I understood

    Orana’s point of view“Can you tell me why the hell we are not going to this meeting?” Edward asked, plopping down on the armchair in front of me.I glanced at him. His thick curls looked messy, yet the outfit he wore today made him look so handsome. I smiled at myself, then lowered my gaze back to

    Orana’s point of viewSpending the day with Liorah was so nice. I had missed my little girl, and I didn’t think I would enjoy spending time with her like this.We moved through shops while she held my hand the whole time, her grip small but certain, as if she knew I wouldn’t let go.She laughed at

    Orana’s point of viewSomething was off. I felt the way my head throbbed, but it also didn’t smell like berries; it smelled spicy and woody.The bed was too soft and too big. But I didn’t hear the sound I woke up to yesterday.Liorah.I sat up so fast, feeling lightheaded at the speed I woke up, my
