Orana’s point of view

I should have realized that Callahan was playing a game; instead, I let him make me feel things. Things I haven’t felt in a while, but did I expect him to come and rub it in my face? No.

I shut my eyes, dragging in a breath that did nothing to calm my fucking nerves. I had let him get too close. I had let him blur lines I swore I’d never cross again. And for what? A few stolen moments of pleasure.

Stupid. That’s what I was. Stupid.

I dropped my hand and turned away from th

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 31

    Orana’s point of viewHe said it meant nothing.The words replayed in my head long after I stepped out of the car, long after the meeting ended, long after I forced myself to breathe.He said it was a mistake. Heat of the moment.I should have felt relieved. Instead, I felt unsettled.Because if it meant nothing to him, why did it feel like something to me?I shook the thought away as I stepped into the apartment building, forcing myself to focus. I needed to look at the apartment.Three months. That was all I needed to think about. Three months in this city meant stability. It meant routine. It meant I had to bring my daughter here and build something temporary again.The apartment agent spoke, pointing things out: the kitchen, the lighting, the view, but her voice blurred into background noise as I walked through the space, trying to imagine it as a home.I couldn’t. This wasn’t home. I had a home in London, and I would go back once I had this project up and running.“Nice place. Th

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 30

    Vaughn’s point of viewI shouldn’t have kissed her.The thought hit me the second I pulled away. My hand was still at the back of her neck, her breath still heavy against my lips, and for a second, I almost leaned back in.I wanted to pin her to the bed and make her forget about that asshole. Hear her moans while I fucked her senseless.I released her, feeling as if she had burned me, moving back from her.My chest rose and fell too fast. My control is slipping in ways I didn’t recognize.I don’t do this. I don’t lose control. I never crossed the line that I had put, yet here I was.Kissing her as if she belonged to me. Like she was fucking mine, and I loved it.The taste of mint lingered on my lips, and I licked my lips, closing my eyes.My jaw tightened, my hands curling into fists at my sides as the image flashed again. I saw her father’s hand striking her, the sound of it echoing in my head.But when I saw her, I almost lost my shit. I wanted to kill him there, but I knew she love

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 29

    Orana’s point of viewLittle dove.He called me little dove and carried me to the hotel room in fucking bridal style. I wanted to fight him and ask him to stop, but I couldn’t. I loved the way he smelled.I didn’t say anything even as he got into the elevator and walked into my room. The silence followed us.He didn’t look at me. He just clenched his jaw tight, which ticked every once in a while.He placed me on the bed, his eyes darkening and jaw tight. Vaughn sat on the edge of the bed, close enough that I could feel the heat radiating from him, close enough that the tension in his body seeped into mine.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice sounding like a whisper. My fingers twisted into the fabric of the sheets. “You shouldn’t have had to see that. My father can be too much.”He didn’t look at me. He just swallowed hard, his throat bobbing up and down.He turned away from me again, running a hand through his hair, and then he exhaled heavily.“I said I’m sorry,” I tried again.He cl

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 28

    Orana’s point of viewThe hallway to the pool was too quiet, and I didn’t like it; I followed him behind while his two men flanked me. Probably making sure that I don’t run.I shouldn’t have come alone. I should have told Vaughn that he was here. Would he help me after what just happened? I don’t know.But then my father wouldn’t want anyone to listen to our conversation. Some things couldn’t be said in front of anyone else.The glass doors came into view, reflecting a version of me that looked steadier than I felt. I paused for half a second before stepping out, and it was empty. No one had come to swim, or maybe he had ordered people to move out before he got here. I wouldn’t put it past my father.“You wanted to talk.” I started.Making sure I stopped a few feet behind him, my body locking despite everything in me screaming to turn around and run.“What the hell do you think you are doing, Orana?” He growled, his jaw ticking and eyes darkening.And just like that, I was a child aga

I had let him blur lines I swore I’d never cross again. And for what? A few stolen moments of pleasure.Stupid. That’s what I was. Stupid.I dropped my hand and turned away from the mirror in the bathroom, then headed back outside into the hallway.“Where’s Vaughn?” I asked Edward once I came into the hallway, and I found him waiting while pressing his phone.“Well, he said he has a meeting and that I should drop you off,” he explained, but all I could think of was that he had left me here. He didn’t even have to wait for me like he normally does.I scoffed, pulling out my phone and calling him. It rang the first time, and he didn’t pick up, so I called the second time, a

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 26

    Vaughn’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have cared.But the moment the words left his mouth, something in me snapped.I didn’t look at her. I couldn’t after what I just found out.Because the second I did, I knew I’d see everything. His hands on her, his mouth tasting her skin, watching her break apart in ways I might never.I turned on my heel, ready to get out of there, but Orana was already on my heels.“Vaughn—” she started when she grabbed my hand. My tainted hands. “Please,” she whispered.I shook my head once. Cutting her off before she could finish.“You don’t need to explain anything to me,” I said, my voice cold. “Who you’re sleeping with isn’t my concern.”The words tasted bitter because it was my fucking concern. I wished it were me.“I’m your boss,” I added, glancing at her before looking away again. “We should focus on this meeting. I need to fly out.”I didn’t wait for her response; I walked into the elevator and jabbed the button so hard.“Vaughn,” she whispered, her voice

    Orana’s Point of ViewI stood in front of the mirror longer than I should have, fingers brushing lightly over my neck before I dropped my hand as if it burned. My throat tightened, something heavy pressing against my chest.I let him in. I fucking let him in, and he left me for her.I pulled on a t

The air in the room shifted the moment he stepped closer.Callahan didn’t answer right away. His gaze dragged over me, dark and sharp, so

    Orana’s Point of ViewMy arms rested on my knees as I watched people enjoy swimming, while I couldn’t even dip my feet in it.London felt too far, and Liorah’s absence lingered whenever I was alone. And the guys disappearing to drink only made it louder. I exhaled slowly, trying to ignore the way e

    Vaughn’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have snapped.But the moment Carla’s hand slid up my arm, something in me recoiled before I could stop it. My body went rigid, jaw tightening as I stepped back as if her touch burned.“Don’t,” I said sharply.She smiled as if she’d been waiting for that reaction.
