The door didn’t open immediately after he told her to do it, the engine still running beneath her while everything outside had already gone too still, too controlled, like the moment had been waiting for her to catch up to it, and even with her hand resting on the wheel and her eyes fixed forward, she could feel the man standing beside her window close enough to see every small detail in his expression without turning, and that instruction from Sebastian didn’t land like the others, it didn’t f

  • SECOND CHOICE, FIRST REGRET: The Billionaires Private Regret   Chapter 20

    The moment she turned and saw him standing there, nothing about the situation stayed the same, because this wasn’t just another person stepping into something already out of control, this was someone who wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near it, someone who belonged to a part of her life that had nothing to do with this, and yet the way he stood there, shoulders tight, eyes locked on her like he had been looking for her for far too long, made it clear that whatever this was had already reached further than she thought.“You shouldn’t be here,” she said before she could stop it, her voice sharper than before, not controlled the way it had been moments ago, because this wasn’t a calculated reaction, this was instinct, immediate and unfiltered.He didn’t answer right away, didn’t move closer either, just held her in his gaze like he was making sure she was real, like he needed that confirmation before anything else mattered, and when he finally stepped forward it wasn’t hesitant, it wasn’t

    The car didn’t move again after the spin, the engine still running but everything else around her settling into a stillness that didn’t match what had just happened, and for a second the silence pressed harder than the impact did, because this wasn’t the kind of pause that meant recovery, it was the kind that meant something else had already taken control of the situation.Her hands stayed on the wheel a moment longer before she forced them to loosen, not fully relaxing, just enough to shift her attention forward, because the car ahead had already stopped moving and the door that opened hadn’t closed again.“Sebastian,” she said, her voice lower now, more controlled, because this wasn’t the part where she waited for instructions anymore.No answer.That alone changed something.Her jaw tightened slightly as she pushed the door open and stepped out, not slowly, not cautiously, just direct, because staying inside the car didn’t mean safety anymore and she was done pretending it did, and

    The second impact didn’t give her time to recover from the first, because the moment the car shifted from the hit behind her, the force from the side slammed into it again, harder this time, throwing the balance off completely and forcing the entire body of the car to jerk in a way that made control feel like something she was losing by the second, and her hands reacted before her thoughts did, gripping the wheel tighter as she tried to steady it even though everything around her was already moving too fast to fully regain control.“Stay down,” Sebastian’s voice came through again, sharper now, not controlled the way it had been before, and that alone told her everything she needed to know, this part wasn’t his anymore.The car dragged slightly from the side impact, metal scraping against metal as whatever had hit her didn’t pull away immediately, didn’t correct, didn’t even slow properly, it just stayed, pressed long enough to force her off line before finally breaking away with a ha

    The second car door opened and the moment shifted before she could even decide what to do with everything already in front of her, because the person stepping out didn’t move like someone walking into a controlled situation, and the second her eyes landed on him properly, recognition hit without delay in a way that didn’t fit into anything she had been trying to make sense of.“You,” she said before she could stop it, her voice low but clear enough, because seeing him here didn’t match anything about the setup around her, not with the road blocked, not with the men already in place, not with Sebastian still on the line giving instructions like he was the one in control.He didn’t react the way he should have, didn’t pause, didn’t question it, he just closed the door behind him and looked straight at her like this was expected, like her being here was part of something already decided.“Thought you’d take longer,” he said, calm, like timing mattered more than everything else happening.

    The door didn’t open immediately after he told her to do it, the engine still running beneath her while everything outside had already gone too still, too controlled, like the moment had been waiting for her to catch up to it, and even with her hand resting on the wheel and her eyes fixed forward, she could feel the man standing beside her window close enough to see every small detail in his expression without turning, and that instruction from Sebastian didn’t land like the others, it didn’t feel like direction or control, it felt final, like something that couldn’t be taken back once it was done, and the problem wasn’t choosing whether to listen or not, it was that both choices led somewhere she didn’t understand.“You heard him,” the man said quietly, his tone calm but firm like he wasn’t asking for permission and wasn’t expecting resistance, and the way he said it made it clear this wasn’t a moment he thought would take long.She kept her eyes forward for another second, her grip

    The car didn’t slow down immediately even with the road blocked ahead, she kept the car moving just enough to hold onto control for a few more seconds because stopping felt final in a way she wasn’t ready to accept without understanding what she was stepping into, and the closer she got the clearer it became that the vehicles ahead weren’t there to slow her down but to end movement completely, positioned in a way that left no clean path through, no angle to slip past, no gap she could take without risking everything in one wrong move.“You said stop,” she said, her voice steady even as her grip tightened again, because if this was the point where everything shifted then she needed more than just that one word.“now,” Sebastian replied, his tone lower but more certain like this part mattered more than everything that led up to it, and she exhaled slowly, easing her foot off the pedal before pressing the brake, not hard, not sudden, just enough to bring the car down in a controlled way
