No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 41 (Continued)
The wedding resumed like magic. The vows were exchanged, rings slipped onto trembling fingers, and the applause that erupted at the kiss was more than just for the newlyweds—it was for love itself.But Judah couldn’t take his eyes off Fedora.She sat beside him, breath steadying, her hand still tucked in his like she was his lifeline. And maybe, in a way, she was.After the wedding, Judah gently led her outside, into the garden. The garden behind the venue was quiet, the flowers swaying with a breeze that felt almost holy. There, beneath a tree, they stood facing each other.Fedora sat beside Judah on the garden bench, his declaration echoing in her chest like a soft drumbeat. She loved him. He loved her. It should’ve been simple.But life had never been simple for her.She pulled her hand gently from his, her gaze steady but soft.“Judah…” she started, her voice not rejecting, but measured. “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I do. But it’s going to take more than words for me to bel
No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 40 – I love You, Fedora!
The Langham Estate was drenched in soft light. Chandeliers shimmered like suspended stars over silk-covered chairs. Guests murmured in awe at the golden floral arch where Nina Jimson and Mowe Chapman would soon say I do.This was her masterpiece. Her first full-service wedding. And she had poured every ounce of her heart into it.Even now—at seven months pregnant—she moved with quiet power. She wanted everything perfect for her clients. For herself.For her babies.“Fedora, the couple’s arriving in five,” one of the planners called out.She nodded. “Copy that. Cue aisle music and light check in three.”There was always a moment of pause before every ceremony. A space where time held its breath.She remembered craving this moment when actes as a fake bride for all those five years renting herself as a bride.But today… she missed Judah. Again.God, did she miss him.His smile. The way he held her when she didn’t know she needed it. The fire in his eyes when he looked at her like she wa
No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 39: The First Client ... Who is he?
Judah was a man unraveling.Since the day Fedora disappeared—vanished without a trace after the mission—his life had tilted into a quiet kind of chaos. Days blurred into nights, and nights bled into mornings with no rest in between. He had memorized the sound of silence in his apartment. The kind that screamed. The kind that held her absence like a noose.He had known their marriage was a contract. A mission. A high-level deception to fool one of the most dangerous cartel leaders in the Western Hemisphere. He had watched Fedora play the role of a wife so convincingly—her laughter, her touches, the glint of fire in her eyes—that even he forgot where the act ended and she began.But that night…That night they shared—the night after the near-death ambush, when her lips trembled and her guard dropped—wasn’t part of any contract. It was raw. Consuming. Real.And it had changed everything.She was gone before he could tell her what it meant to him.And the silence she left behind felt like
No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 38: Ironical, isn't it?
That evening, Jenny called back."Hey… you good?" Her voice was softer than usual.Fedora pulled the blanket tighter around her shoulders. "Yeah. I’m okay."Jenny hesitated. "Listen, I should’ve asked first before letting Judah speak to you. I know you needed space. I just—he wore me down."Fedora smiled faintly. "It’s alright. You were trying to help him... and maybe me, too. It’s fine, Jenny.""You sure?""I’m sure," Fedora said, then sighed. "It’s just… hearing his voice again shook me a little. But not in the way I thought it would."Jenny was silent, letting her speak.Fedora continued, "He still hasn’t sent the divorce papers. Still says nothing definitive. But my babies don’t need maybes. They need a mom who's all in.""You are all in," Jenny replied firmly. "You always have been."There was a pause, then Jenny gently asked, "So… what’s the plan now, Fed?"Fedora looked out at the fading skyline, her hand resting over the soft curve of her belly. The twins stirred beneath her p
No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 37: The Ultrasound
The soft hum of the ultrasound machine filled the room, a gentle backdrop to the rhythmic thump of Fedora's heartbeat. She lay on the examination table, eyes fixed on the monitor, as the technician moved the probe across her abdomen."Well, everything looks good..." the technician began, then paused, eyes widening slightly. "Wait a moment."Fedora's heart skipped a beat. She turned her gaze to the technician, searching her face for clues."You're..." The technician hesitated, then smiled. "You're having twins."A wave of emotions crashed over Fedora—shock, disbelief, joy, and a hint of fear. She stared at the monitor, where two tiny forms danced in tandem, their heartbeats echoing in the room."Twins?" she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.The technician nodded, her smile reassuring. "Yes, twins. Congratulations."For a moment, everything stilled. No sound, no breath—just the echo of those words reverberating inside Fedora’s chest.Twins.She blinked at the screen, at the two
No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 36: Echoes Without Her
It was exactly eight hours and fifteen minutes later when Judah’s phone lit up.Jenny Calling.He answered on the first ring.“Jenny,” he exhaled, like he’d been holding his breath all day. “Where is she?”“I'm sorry, Judah,” came Jenny’s tired but unwavering voice. “But, I can’t tell you that.”“Can’t, or won’t?”“Does it matter?” Jenny replied. “She asked me not to tell anyone. That includes you.”Judah’s grip tightened on the phone. “Please. I just need to talk to her. I need to explain.”“I don’t know where she is exactly,” Jenny said flatly. “She left the apartment with a driver. I helped her into the car. That’s all I know.”Judah knew she was lying — or at least, withholding. He could hear it in the way her breath caught before she answered, the slight shift in her tone. But he said nothing. Pushing harder would only make her shut down.And he couldn’t afford to lose the only thread that still led to Fedora.After a pause, Jenny added, “She’s doing okay, Judah. Let that be enou
No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 35: The Broken Goodbye
The days passed in quiet routine — tea in the mornings, light meals in the afternoons, and soft, muted evenings with Jenny perched on the armrest, chatting gently as Fedora rested. There was no visible bump yet — just a whisper of life only Fedora and Jenny knew existed. Three weeks along, and yet everything already felt different.Jenny’s visits remained constant, her presence a steady anchor. She came with groceries, vitamins, fresh towels, and the occasional sarcastic comment that actually made Fedora smile. Their bond had deepened — no longer nurse and patient, but confidantes. Sisters in silence.One quiet afternoon, Jenny gently broached the topic, “You should register for antenatal care soon, Fedora. It's important to get proper checkups and bloodwork done early.”Fedora nodded thoughtfully, then answered in a hush, “I will. Just… not yet. Once I’m back at my own apartment. That way, it’s harder for anyone—Judah especially—to trace anything. I need space to breathe without bein
No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 34: Discharged … What Next??
It was a gray morning when Fedora was discharged.Earlier that morning, Nurse Jenny entered Fedora’s room with a clipboard in hand and her familiar warm smile. The IVs had been removed, the monitors unplugged. Discharge day.“Ready to step back into the world?” Jenny asked gently.Fedora sat on the edge of the bed, fully dressed for the first time in days. Her bruises had started to fade, though some were still dark along her jaw and ribs. She offered a weary smile. “As ready as I’ll ever be.”Jenny hesitated for a moment, then sat on the armrest of the nearby chair.“Fedora… I hope this doesn’t sound intrusive,” she said, lowering her voice. “But… what’s your next move? I mean… about him? Are you going to tell Judah about the baby?”Fedora looked down at her hands, fingers fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve.“I’ve thought about it,” she said quietly. “But no. I’m not telling him. Not now. Maybe not ever.”Jenny blinked. “But why?”A long pause followed.Then Fedora finally looked up
No Apologies, No Regrets Chapter 33: Pregnant… What?
The fluorescent lights buzzed quietly above the sterile stillness of the ICU. The air carried the scent of antiseptic and faint lavender from the small diffuser on the corner shelf. Fedora lay still, the beeping of the heart monitor syncing with her shallow breaths. Her face bore the bruises of a war she hadn’t signed up for.A soft knock tapped at the hospital room door, and in walked a woman in pale scrubs, clutching a chart."Good morning, sweetheart," she said gently, her voice warm and reassuring. "I'm Nurse Jenny. I’ve been assigned to your care for the next few days."Fedora blinked, her lips dry and cracked. “Morning… I’m feeling… sore. Everywhere,” she managed, her voice hoarse.Jenny gave her a sympathetic smile. “I bet you are. You’ve been through hell and back.”Jenny walked to the monitor, then to the foot of the bed, flipping open the chart. She hesitated, then looked back at Fedora.“You’re lucky,” she said softly.Fedora raised an eyebrow. “Lucky?”Jenny nodded. “Yes.
