My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret Chapter 57
Lilian flipped her phone to silent and resumed cleaning the coffee table. It was all routine—the soft scrape of the cloth, the glaze on the surface in the afternoon light. It reminded her that she was once again strong, with or without the creases in her heart.Then Doris's name came up on the screen. Her half-apology for the recession and her obstinate loyalty still stung, so much so that Lilian nearly hung up."Hi," she said, her tone icy as steel."I'm sorry, Lilian. I went over the line," was Doris's apology, filled with regret.Lilian waited but said nothing."You were right. You owe Kelvin nothing. Not after all the cruelty over the years, all the years of torment. I love him, but my love does not excuse cruelty. I never wanted to hurt you—or lose you." Doris's voice shook under its burden.The phrase "lose you" had shattered years of armor. Walking into cold air, Lilian whispered, "I get it. I do. But I'm tired—tired of being all wound up in their anger. I don't want more guilt

Lilian's heart seemed to be more heavier than stone pressing against the cage of her ribs as she slumped in the harsh café chair. Opposite her, Doris held her hand hesitantly—it was enough to remind Lilian to gasp in the present. Clichés ran through her mind, thudding like a beating pulse: You were worth being kissed like the world would end in the next minute."Everything else was perfect?" Doris inquired, voice so silky, catching Lilian into actual consideration.She took a slow sip of the beverage—the cold caramel latte did not burn her throat as she spoke. "Yes… It was. Except I saw Chris and Rita. They were, um, intimate."Doris's eyebrows knitted. "You mean… on a date?"Lilian's nerves wriggled. She glanced at her hands, not to look. "Yes. They were. compatible."The words had created an empty ache inside her chest. They'd been told they were compatible. Now maybe it was so."I'm glad you were lovely," Doris smiled. "You were so lovely—I hope it hit him like a lightning bolt."Th

The words stayed with her days afterward—words she had never wanted, acts she had never provoked. Chris. The kiss. The betrayal.Lilian sat alone in the far corner of the crowded coffee shop, her tightly gripped fingers around the warm ceramic mug, although the tea within had long since cooled.She did not drink—she didn't want to—and needed something stronger than chamomile to put on top of the confusion swirling relentlessly in her brain. The calming jazz drifting from the speakers above did no good, and the hum of conversation all around her was nothing but noise.Chris had kissed her.Uninvited. Unexplained. Unexpected.And Rita hated her more than ever now.That kiss had been a fire to parched tinder, and now it was all smoldering—her conscience, her dignity, her silence.What did he think?Was he trying to wreck whatever fragile peace she'd managed to cobble together since the divorce? Or punishing her? Or worse, punishing Rita by using her in whatever trouble he was in?Chris h

Kelvin glanced at the newspaper again; the heavy lettering glared back at him like a condemnation.ROMANCE NIGHT GONE TRAGIC. Ex-Dancer Killed by Unknown Attacker. The words pierced through his chest like a cold knife, numbing his innards. Evelyn Chase. Killed.The woman he had spent hours with moments ago. His brain whirled, resisting the wave of panic that tickled its way into his bloodstream. He balled the paper up, his shaking hands, and shoved it into the coat pocket as if attempting to conceal the reality.His legs weighed as much as lead as he forced them to propel him, haul him up the road to his house. Every step was heavier than the previous one, and sweat trickled down his back despite the cool autumn breeze; he wasn't really paying much attention to the sound of Mr. Townsend's voice until the elderly man appeared from behind the hedge, smiling at him"Home from town, Kelvin?" Townsend asked, his voice a bit too cheerful, a bit too inquisitive, those intense eyes glaring in

Adrian walked ahead of them down the stairs with a self-assured stride, his taut suit whooshing over him with a gentle, silken texture, his lips twisted into a sneer as he glanced back over his shoulder at Kelvin. "Back in a minute. Hold things together for me," he mocked with a playful wink, already halfway down. Kelvin nodded merely, his eyes tracing the path Adrian had left behind. He witnessed how the usual haughtiness in Adrian's demeanor unfolded step by step, indifferent to the building tension, and would ultimately spoil the day.The payphone booth was an anachronism tucked behind the front desk, for those guests who still used coins and calls instead of messages and emails. As Adrian shut the door, Kelvin's gut clenched over nothing he could think of. Something about the entire moment seemed off-center, even if he couldn't quite articulate it as such. He shifted in his seat, trying to get the creeping agita out of his system.Minutes passed. Then more minutes.Kelvin's

Rita sat motionless, gazing at the phone in her palm, whose screen was black several hours ago. Pain in her heart was constant, a throb that could not be alleviated.Her mind reeled, every consideration more painful than the last. Chris's latest actions made no sense at all to her. His sudden fascination with Lilian, his ex-wife, was confusing. The car, the staff she had employed, the multiple visits—it was too much.She needed clarity, a voice of reason.As I just said, Lilian is none of us so why in the world would anyone be searching for her? Anger crept into Lizzy's voice. "If only I was present, I would have punched you so hard, Rita. You're a blasted lawyer, and yet you're attempting to figure out that Lilian can do all that to herself just for Chris?"Rita sounded defensive. "It's because I'm a lawyer that I know it's true. You can't even try to imagine what women would do, just to get the attention of their exes after the exes move on. I've had my share of serving ex-wives and
