REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE Chapter 196
THIRD PERSON'S POVAlaric glanced at his wrist watch for the upteenth time since Sara left the room.He knew exactly when she left and that turned out to be the reason for his worry now, because she had been gone for quite a while, longer than he estimated it would take her to use the restroom and return.It left him feeling unsettled, and he couldn't keep from glancing at her empty seat across from him.The chair stood at the same angle she'd left it in and the napkin on her table was placed in that weird, quirky way he'd noticed she liked to have it folded.Sara didn't know this, but he knew a whole lot about her, from her little habits that she thought weren't worthy of notice to the way she liked to press her lips together when something confused her and how she tended to gently rub at her skin when she felt cold.He noticed them all and studying these things about her had become a habit he couldn't get rid of.His attention was always fixated on her, both in public and private sp

THIRD PERSON’S POVDanielle rubbed her bleary eyes and trudged out of her room. She’d just woken up, having no clue what had startled her awake.Nanny hadn’t come to stir her awake just yet so she knew that it wasn't time for her to start preparing for school just yet.Last night, she’d waited for a really long time for daddy to return from work, not because she missed him but because she missed Mommy and wanted Daddy to call her so she could speak to her.She had tried asking nanny to call Mommy but try as nanny might, it was the answering machine that kept responding, not mommy and after several tries, she got disheartened but not discouraged and resolved to ask Daddy to call instead.“Danielle, it’s time for bed,” Nanny had reminded several times last night but each time, she shook her head, refusing to.“Nanny, please, I want to wait for Daddy.”Each time she said that, it was with large, pleading eyes that had eventually gotten her what she wanted.And every time Nanny sighed in

SARA’S POVLaurent nodded as though he had actually heard me and was going to listen to me but in actuality, his eyes remained fixated on my face. He didn’t move too, and kept his hands close to my head.Bracing myself with a scowl etched on my face to keep him from closing the distance between us inappropriately, I pushed myself off the wall and forced myself to walk past him.I kept my focus on the wall and on the doors, anything to help me feel sane. Laurent had already gotten a whiff of my drunkenness and it occurred to me that I couldn’t let him know just how much the alcohol had taken control of my body and vision.Who knew what he would do otherwise.I had to act like I was okay, just until I made it back to our reserved room but the heat was curling through my veins and a strange heaviness settled behind my eyes, making my shut intermittently and forcing me to pinch the space between my brows to stay awake.Then, I figured out that I couldn’t make it to the guest room in this
REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE Chapter 193
SARA’S POVThe chair scraped loudly against the floor as I stood, the sound cutting through the low murmur of conversation around the table.Too loud.Everything felt too loud.“I’ll be right back,” I repeated, more for myself than for anyone else, because my ears were ringing and my thoughts felt slow, as though they were wading through something thick.I didn’t wait for a response.The walk to the restroom felt longer than it had earlier. The corridor lights were warmer now, softer, and the carpet beneath my heels seemed to dip and rise in ways it hadn’t before. I focused on putting one foot in front of the other, on keeping my posture upright, on not letting the dizziness show.You barely drank anything, I told myself.It was just a sip.My reflection in the mirror startled me when I pushed into the restroom. I looked pale. My eyes seemed unfocused, glassy, like I’d been crying though I hadn’t.I braced my hands on the sink, breathing slowly.In and out, with really slow motions

THIRD PERSON'S POVThe dining room shone under the chandeliers and the soft clinking noise of cutleries accompanied the quiet hum of polite conversation. Sara adjusted her posture, making sure the tension in her shoulders was not noticeable.She had stepped in with a facade of cam politeness, even though her eyes had carefully scrutinized everyone in the room, starting from the first two people she was wary of-Laurent and Lisa.She thought she and Alaric had left their hotel quite early but they were still one of the last ones to arrive here but nobody had pointed that out or mentioned it although Sara had a feeling someone would have said something had she not come with Alaric.Leah had taken the seat beside Alaric with a practiced ease, sliding in as though she owned the place and surprisingly, Alaric let her.Sara however didn't think much of it and thought it had much to do with the private conversation Leah had held with him yesterday.She assumed something had happened between
REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE Chapter 191
SARA'S POVThe next morning, I stood in front of a mirror, way longer than was necessary, just staring blankly at my reflection in it, even though I was supposed to be inspecting my outfit.I'd chosen to put on a black tailored trousers and a cream silk blouse, not exactly a good option for dinner but it sure did keep me comfortable.My choice of jewelry was very minimal as well, I made sure to select pieces that wouldn't be too provocative or misinterpreted.As they say, if one was aware of impending harm, it was best to take precautions to avoid it.Who knew if my clothes would end up being something to be nitpicked over. Moreover, I didn't think there would be many females in attendance.To be frank, I only knew of myself and Leah.When I finished getting dressed, I slipped into heels that I felt would be comfortable for the entire evening as well and stepped out of my room.I met up with Alaric at the lobby, where he had texted me to say he would be waiting for me.He was dressed
