My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret Chapter 78
The drive back was quiet, that heavy hush that stretched and pinched its way into Lilian's brain. Yellow and white stripes of streetlights blazed on the windshield. Chris's absence at the Chamber of Commerce event hung in her chest like a rock she couldn't shake.She had worked through at least three versions of how to tell him if she did call him by the time she pulled into her driveway. Each softened to the point where there was little to no part of it left—just as had occurred so often before.Her phone rang as she came indoors. Chris's name lit up the screen.She stared at it for a moment before picking up. "Chris."His tone was smooth, as if everything was fine. "Lilian. Heard the affair went well. Well done."A scalding laugh had reached her throat, but she stifled it. "That is interesting. I did not notice that you were present to witness it yourself."There was a pause, one hardly noticeable. "Something came up," he said at last. "Could not be avoided."Her hand on the phone f

What did Lilian really want? The notion nagged her like a voice that would not give up. Was she playing with Jack, or did she really want him? The boundary was transgressed too many times to be good for her. Even as certain as she was to finally break free from Chris, a gnawing part of her fretted that she was transgressing the boundary in the wrong direction.She didn't want to hurt Jack—especially if he was honest. But fear grabbed her: she was hanging on to him like a lifeline because he kept her from remembering Chris, and he kept the pain hidden.She tightened her grip on the steering wheel. Is it really that terrible? The reasoning kept going round and round in circles. Humans needed other humans to accomplish things of all varieties of labor. Some for love. Some for protection. Some to knock them down. Was it so awful to want Jack because he was giving her a break from grief?A horn honked somewhere behind her, surprising her. She had slowed down without even realizing it. She

"I don't know what you're talking about, Adrian," Kelvin said with contempt. "I said I was at home that night."But Adrian would not relent. He came in hard and slashing. "I think you're lying. Did you visit her apartment?""I said I didn't!" Kelvin leapt to his feet, spilling his drink. "Are you deaf?"Adrian stood back, his face white, his eyes welling up with horror. "They described to us the man they were after. Dark, tall, your age." Adrian's voice was building into a scream as his denials were in punches. "And in a battered rusty black Pontiac." He pointed a shaking finger out the window, where Kelvin's car glowed white under a streetlamp. "Go on, Kelvin, were you with her?"The air thickened and became heavy, and every sentence hung on Kelvin like a weighty chain. He stood, he imagined himself, in Adrian's eye, filled with anger."I didn't do it!" Kelvin's voice shook, and he automatically recoiled, his hand lashing Adrian's arm, craving reassurance. "You have to listen, Adrian.

Kelvin stood frozen where he was, his own face contorted by a jolt of shock. Adrian strolled along the twisting path, slumped shoulders, downward-glancing eyes darkening. He wasn't the confident, neatly dressed friend Kelvin was used to."I need to speak with you," Adrian said to him."Let's go inside," Kelvin said quietly as he pushed open the door to welcome Adrian into the living room. Kelvin cursed himself inwardly at the mess within—books lay scattered everywhere, cushions wildly scattered, and even the coffee table had been scratched from his mad searching session earlier. He felt a heat rise to his face. "Sorry for the mess." I, uh, lost something. Been searching for it all night."Adrian did not seem to listen. He crossed over to the window armchair and collapsed into it, his bulk seeming to fill out the worn cushions. His face was ghastly pale in the bad light, his hands shaking a little on the chair arms, fingers drumming a rhythm Kelvin knew all too well.“If you’ve got a d

Kelvin's unease strained to a breaking point as he strode back and forth in the center of the lounge, the room laughing at him good-naturedly with emptiness. He launched his look about furiously, his eyes running over the coffee table, the couch, the borders of the carpet, as though the book had fallen into some unseen crevice. His rational brain knew it wasn't there; he'd looked in every nook and cranny in desperation. But his head refused to be rationalized, still reeling crazily in a vicious circle of the same thing:What did I do with it?He tried to reel back, but the recollections were hazy, as though they'd been scrubbed away. There was a hut. The meeting with the car attendant. That shock of suspicion he'd felt, feeling that book was a risk, one he'd forgotten in his haste to leave. And then. nothing. He recalled pushing the small, tattered book into his pocket, but his thoughts after that were a vacuum.The options churned and bubbled in his mind. If he'd left it there, anyon

"Are you sure you're doing the right thing, Lilian?" Doris asked over the phone, worry corrugating her tone. She had called to inquire whether they could spend time together—something they'd both neglected in the wake of Lilian's attack. Doris had been overseas in China when it happened, on an important work assignment, and hadn't returned until a few days prior.Lilian hesitated, lacing her flats by the front door. Her lips were clamped into a tight smile. "I'm sure. I think this is the best way to get over Chris. I mean—how else am I going to fall in love with someone else if I don't make myself available?"She'd admitted to the fact: those hesitant, uncertain kisses with Jack. Weeks, they'd been creating—banishing isolation, constructing hope—but only a brief touch had happened.Doris swallowed, thought. "Yeah, but don't you think you're rushing into this—how long have you known him?""Four and a half months," Lilian said, brushing a lock of hair from behind her ear. "But wait, why
