Elena’s POV

My heart seizes up with fright. But my body doesn’t react. It’s still floating from all the things that he just said.

A friend.

He’s doing this for a friend.

But who?

The man steps on my chest harder, filling me with pain. But then, he just inspects his knife under the light of the overcast sky. He’s zoning out again, just like he did when we were at the elevator.

“What friend?” I ask, trying to sound rational and even friendly. “It’s all the end now, isn’t it? Maybe you can tell me.

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 201

    Third Person POVUnfortunately and in a way fortunately, this isn’t the first time it happened to Portia.Russell never had a good temper. He didn’t always lay a hand on her, but when he does, it’s always like this. His hands wrapped around her neck. Pressure on her throat. Her breath stuck in the pipe, begging to flow.Portia knows what to do.Instead of panicking, she looks at Russell straight in the eye and puts her hands on top of his, like they’re dancing. But she knows that she’s performing for her life. They have children. They’re supposed to be this perfect couple.“You will leave a mark if you keep going,” she manages to choke out. “You don’t want them to see that, do you?”“I don’t fucking care,” Russell grits out. “I don’t want my fucking cunt of a wife going behind my back to negotiate with my biggest enemy and see her ex boyfriend at the same time.”“I did it for you,” she points out. “Why else would I go out there? I did it because I love you.”The last three words seem

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 200

    Third Person POVPortia was never the nervous kind.She’s the kind of person who can face an entire angry crowd and not flinch once.She’s the one who’s handled every single irate client or investor for Russell. The one who calms them down. The one who befriends them.The one who eventually gets them to bring out their money and invest.Prime Meridian wasn’t just Russell’s product—it was also a collection of her words, her patience, and her boldness.Yet this perfect picture of a powerful woman is nothing but a shaking little girl as the chauffeur approaches their home.Russell is home and she knows it. She can feel it in the air, like a flash of lightning. Even just looking at the door and the windows, she knows that he’s waiting for her inside.“Maybe we can go somewhere else,” she tells the chauffeur. “The mall, maybe. We can tell Russell that I’ve been out shopping. He won’t know any better, right? I mean, we can get some things and pass them off as—”“Madam, the Master puts a tra

    Elena’s POVIt’s been so long since I laughed. It’s been so long since I even had the reason to laugh.But Portia’s words nearly bring me to the edge. A slow, angry smile spread on my lips. It grows even wider when I see the sheer horror in her eyes, replacing the smugness and erasing it completely.“You want me to withdraw the case against your husband in exchange for Tristan’s freedom?” I ask, saying every word slowly so that she will understand how absurd all of it sounds. “You want me to withdraw my biggest chance to show the world how evil Russell is?”“You think it’s silly, but you never had the chance to do that, did you?” Portia steps closer to me, running her gaze up and down my body like she hasn’t seen me plainly before. “You can laugh. But we can have the trial right fucking now and it won’t change anything—Tristan is still set to go on trial, and you damn know well that he’s going to be charged guilty.”I can’t help it anymore. I laugh in her face. “And you think Russell

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 198

    Elena’s POVThe shock that reverberates in my body is something that I never felt before, even with everything that has happened already.I stare at the woman in front of me, blinking hard like that motion will send her away.The last time I saw her… it feels like years ago. It feels like I was a different person then. Sneaking into that cursed event because Alexander told me not to go. Finding Tristan in there somehow, talking with him for the first time in a very long time. Actually enjoying his company…It hits me all at once. Seeing this woman and remembering where Tristan is now. How much trouble he’s in. The possibility of him never coming out again just because everyone seems to be working against me.Russell’s wife, not seeing any outright protest from us at all, welcomes herself into the chapel and holds out her hand to Margaret. “I believe we haven’t met yet. My name is Portia Finley-Harrington. I’m here on behalf of my husband Russell. We really are sorry for your loss.”Ma

    Tristan’s POV“Please,” I whisper to Joseph, nearly collapsing on my knees out of nerves. “She… she has to know what I did. She has to be prepared because they will fight back!”“What did you do in there, Tristan?” Joseph asked, his voice shaking as he leaned back and tried to take a closer look at the room. “What did you do to him? Do you… do you know what he’s capable of?”“I very fucking well know.” I rub a hand over my face. “Listen. I hurt him. I hurt him real bad. But not bad enough to kill him—”“Well, that’s good to know, isn’t it?” His nostrils flared, his chest heaving in panic. “Okay. Fuck. This is bad. He didn’t come here alone. He has a bunch of men waiting outside for him. They’re going to storm in here if he doesn’t come out. And he’s not going to come out because of what you did.”“I know, but…”I trail off, realizing that I have no reasonable excuse to give him. And by asking him to help me, I’m also dooming him to pain and possibly death. Also his family.I start to

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 196

    Elena’s POV“You haven’t slept.”Alexander puts his hand on my waist and steers me away from the altar.I was arranging the flowers for Mira’s wake. It’s today, and I’ve decided to take on the responsibility of planning it for her and the family. They’re still grieving, more than I am, and I know that it would be difficult for them to have to face this day.Uncle Marcus, Grandpa Harold, and the children are all at home. They have decided not to participate in it and I respected that decision. I didn’t want to bring them to a place where there could possibly be any danger, especially the kids.I didn’t even want to take Alexander here initially. I didn’t expect him to actually show up, though. He was still asleep when I left him in his apartment, and now he’s here, following me around and trying to get me to stop doing things.“I just need to make sure that everything is fine,” I tell him, fixing the urn. “I don’t want it to be a disaster. The priest has confirmed but he’s not here yet
