REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE Chapter 44
SARA'S POVI had just settled my hands on the banister when I saw Derek returning from the same direction I was headed in.My steps froze involuntarily and I watched as Derek approached me. He stopped two steps away from the one I was standing on and stared openly at me.His sleeves were rolled up to just above his elbow and his top two buttons were undone, revealing a glimpse of his muscled chest.I didn't let my gaze linger on any part of his body, not even his face that was clearly visible beneath the fluorescent lights overhead the staircase and turned around to leave.Just as I turned my back, his hand shot out and he grabbed my wrist.We both froze. I knew I had stiffened out of shock but I couldn't tell if it was the same for him. For a second, neither of us moved or blinked."Still mad?" He broke the silence first.I blinked, still stunned, the contact startling me more than his words ever could. A strange rush of electricity coursed through me and my heart gave a strange lurc

SARA'S POVDanielle's hold on me tightened as if she feared that I would slip away if she so much as loosened her hands.There was a glimmer of desperation in the depth of her eyes and it startled me as much as her words."Mommy, please, don't leave me. I promise I won't bother you, just stay," She pleaded, her bottom lips quivering.I blinked at her, still astonished. It wasn't even my intention to leave, not yet but hearing her voice tremble with no room for levity struck me so much my chest constricted.This had to be the most heartfelt plea I had ever gotten from her, and it was a plea for just my presence.Every other time she pleaded with me for something, it was out of willfulness, an attitude she used to get what she wanted, exactly when she wanted it but this time was different.There was a genuineness backing her tone and it wasn't subtle.Recovering from the stunned silence, my face softened and I managed a smile at her, "I'm not leaving, I just wanted to check with the Doc
REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE Chapter 42
SARA'S POVJust like Mrs Rodriguez said, Danielle was awake.Her eyes were unfocused and it felt like she was still trying to register where she was and had gotten a fright when she woke up in an unfamiliar room."Mommy, where am I?" Her voice was weak and she didn't seem to realize that she was reaching her hands out to me.I stood by the door, rethinking my choices but threw all caution to the wind in the end and stepped closer with measured movements until I reached the side of her bed.She wouldn't know that just now, I had been on the edge of eruption because I was mad at Derek and Alyssa for letting her get hurt.That fact wasn't for her to know but for the adult who had facilitated the turn of events today."I'm here," I said softly, grabbing the hand she was reaching at me, letting the rest of my words of anxious relief roll into the back of my throat until they dissolved.I held her hand gingerly for a couple of minutes before tightening my grip around it when she groaned wea
REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE Chapter 41
SARA'S POVThe moment I heard the word "injured," my chest tightened as if someone had deflated all the air in my lungs.I couldn't even remember leaving my office or flagging down a taxi.One minute, I had my phone in my hand, staring at it in disbelief, the next, I was spelling out Danielle's name shakily to the hospital's receptionist and running through the white washed walls of the hospital corridor, heart pounding like a drum in my chest.Every second felt too late, like I was trying to win a race while dragging ankle weights.I got to the private pediatric ward she was said to be and pushed the door open, freezing at the sight that came into view.Danielle lay with her face to the ceiling, her tiny frame engulfed by the white sheets of the hospital bed. Her cheeks were so pale they looked like they had been intentionally drained of color, she looked so impossibly small on the large bed, and her forehead was wrapped with a bandage that went round her head with a large spot of b
REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE Chapter 40
SARA’S POVI slid the USB into my bag and walked to Alaric's office. Inside it contained the proof I'd eagerly waited for, capable of sending Jules away for good. I was done playing his games, looking out for myself against his schemes. I knew he was going to leak my work, but my suspicions weren’t enough. I needed proof, solid and undeniable, so he won’t be able to walk his way out of it. I knew he would go to any extent to bring me down so I baited him. I intentionally left an unfinished version of my design on my desktop. It wasn’t the final work; it was only a decoy, just enough to tempt him. Then I proceeded to install a tiny, almost invisible camera near my monitor. Anyone who touched my computer while I was away would be recorded, their every move saved to my USB.And just as I predicted, Jules took the bait. My USB held the video evidence of him and his accomplice, the very employee responsible for managing the security cameras while they exported my designs. I was infuri

SARA’S POVThe collaboration had moved to the next stage. It was no longer sketches and concepts, it was finally becoming something stable. I assigned each designer on the team to make drafts based on the assignment plan and present them to the other team for feedback. I gave everyone a maximum of two days to make the draft. And the next meeting was scheduled to take place at Alyssa’s company. I wasn’t particularly eager to go there because the thought of attending Alyssa’s company weakened me. But I didn’t have much of a choice. Work was work and I had to get it done. But I did hope that she wouldn't be on site and another representative would head the meeting, like Adrian.Regardless, work was work and I had to get it done. I assembled my team and went over the presentation and everyone’s design and everything was in place. And I was certain that they wouldn't have a single complaint about any of the designs. If things went well, I should be in and out before lunch.The moment I
