Vaughn's Point Of View

I got in the car, and she was just quiet, clutching her phone like it was enough. She tried to call Sienna, but the phone was off.

“You should give it time. James will be there soon,” I assured her, but she didn’t respond, so I let her be.

I drove her home in silence, and when we reached her floor, I didn’t stop. I kept going, up to mine.

She noticed that I didn’t stop at her floor.

“I want to be in my apartment when she comes,” she said, looking panicked, her eyes dartin

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 63

    Orana’s point of viewI fell asleep while I was talking to him. One moment, I was sitting beside Vaughn’s bed with my hand wrapped around his, watching the slow rise of his chest. The next moment, I was waking up to fingers moving through my hair.For one wild second, fear shot through me so hard I jerked upright, my eyes snapping to him.Vaughn was awake. His face looked tired, paler than usual, but his eyes were open and fixed on me with that same hard intensity that always made me feel pinned in place.The room was dim, except for the pale light leaking through the curtains. It wasn’t morning anymore, from the position of the sun that was coming into the room.His hand was still tangled in my hair, brushing my hair.Relief hit so fast. I must have made a sound because his jaw tightened.“Fuck little dove,” he muttered, his voice rough. “I made you cry.”Only then did I realize tears were already falling, and my vision was blurring.He shifted slightly and hissed under his breath.

    Orana's Point of ViewI sobbed into Laoise’s shoulder. I don’t know for how long, and when I could finally move, she guided me to the waiting room as they operated on him.Someone else draped a coat over my shoulders and fixed it nicely. The shadow was small, but it wasn’t Laoise because she was sleeping on the chair.I looked up, and Vaughn’s mother stood there.I hurriedly got up, almost falling and hitting my face, panic coursing through my veins, but she steadied me.“It’s okay, sweetheart,” she said, her voice soft and kind. I expected anger from her and maybe insults hurled at me, but she just smiled weakly at me.She glanced at my bare feet and frowned. “Get her slippers. Now.”The assistant hurried off. Mrs Carson was already barking instructions at the other people she had come with.“Good morning, Mrs. Carson,” I said to her, and she chuckled, waving me off.“Oh, please. Just call me Penelope,” she said, her hand brushing over my hair.“I’m sorry,” I blurted out.She frowned

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 61

    Orana’s point of viewI ran so hard, my lungs burned, trying to keep up with the gurney that was carrying Vaughn into the hospital.Wheels rattled over tile as they rushed Vaughn away on the gurney. Blood soaked through the sheets they had thrown over him. Too much blood. It dripped from the side in thin red lines that marked the floor behind them.Someone barked at the nurses and doctors, but I could not understand. All I heard was blood pressure, and some doctors came rushing to him. Another voice called for surgery, and another one was asking for blood type.Another doctor mentioned two gunshot wounds. Vaughn had taken two bullets for me.Two.My chest felt split open as if my heart was being pulled out of my chest, and the stupid tears couldn’t stop falling.I kept running after them, sobs spilling out of me. “Please…” the word came out of my mouth.I had kept saying that word as if it would be enough for them to do something for Vaughn.He saved me. He took the bullets again.The

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 60

    Orana’s point of viewI was supposed to marry Vaughn. He knew. He fucking knew and didn’t say anything.I stood in my apartment with the lights off, city glow leaking through the windows.Is that what he meant when he said I had always been his?Had this started long before the rooftop, before the boardroom, before I even knew his name? Had Vaughn been staking a claim the first moment he saw an opening?It sounded dramatic, but it also sounded exactly like him. “Oran?” She called behind me, turning on the lights, and I turned around to see her, in her oversized hoodie and plaid pants. When she saw my face, something flashed in her eyes. “What happened?”I opened my mouth, and nothing came out.A hard lump rose in my throat so fast it hurt. I hated crying. Always did. So, I shook my head.She set the mug down and crossed the room. Then she took my hands in hers, warm fingers closing around mine. “Did something happen between you and Vaughn?”Again, I shook my head.Her brows drew

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 59

    Orana’s point of view No matter how many times I replayed the scene in my head, I still could not understand why Vaughn met with that man. The thought made my stomach twist as I sat in the lounge, staring at the same page on my screen for the tenth time. My laptop glowed in front of me, bright and useless.Callahan’s words from that day would not leave me alone.‘You clearly don’t know him.’I hated thinking about it because part of me feared it was true.I knew the Vaughn who watched me too closely. The Vaughn who noticed when I skipped lunch, when I lied, when I was tired, when I was upset, before I said a word. I knew the Vaughn whose hand always found the small of my back in crowded rooms. I knew the Vaughn who held me every time I came apart in his arms.But did I know the rest of him? This man, who never tells me where he goes, comes back with bruised knuckles.My stomach twisted. I knew what it was, but I couldn’t just imagine him like that.The chair across from me scraped a

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 58

    Orana’s point of viewI can’t look at him. I can’t look at him without thinking about what happened earlier. Every time I tried to look at him, I could feel my cheeks heat up. I could still feel his fingers inside me.Fuck. I couldn’t focus on anything.“Orana?”I snapped my head, looking at Nehemiah, who raised an eyebrow, staring back at me, clearly not the first time he was calling my name.Every eye was turned to me, waiting for me to say something.My eyes darted around the table, and everyone was on me. Vaughn was smiling at me. Sitting back in his chair with a smug look.“Sorry, I didn’t get that,” I said, scrolling through my tablet.“I was wondering if you could speak to Lukic. I know you were in contact with him,” Nehemiah explained, and I nodded my head.“I did. He’s willing to sell, but the wife is a bit difficult, so I’m thinking of attending her fundraiser,” I said, my eyes turning to Vaughan. “I was wondering if I could join you for that so I can meet her.”It was nothi

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 21

    Orana’s Point of ViewHe promised that he would be here.Vaughn was never late.My gaze flicked to the door and then to the clock, and then back to the chair again.Minutes passed, then an hour.I inhaled slowly, reaching for my phone under the table. My thumb hovered for half a second, hesitating

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 8

    Orana’s Point of ViewI stood in front of the mirror, fingers trailing slowly down the curve of my waist, over the soft fabric hugging my hips, as if I needed to confirm that the woman staring back at me was real. The dim light in the room caught the angles of my face.I looked like everything I ha

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 16

    Vaughn’s point of viewI have never been one to pay attention to things or women. But with Orana, it’s hard; I notice even the tiniest things about her.Like when fucking Callahan insinuated there was a reason behind his mistress trying to hit her. I saw the way her shoulders stiffened, the way her

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 22

    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.
