I can't believe it. That the only reason behind those incomplete texts was because she was trying to send a condolences message, when I had foolishly hoped they meant something else. That she still cared? That she wanted to come back to me and tell me all what I’d been told about her was a lie?

"In fact, I would have had you thrown out if you had dared come back on that day. I would have had you dragged out like the traitor.”

"And why would you do that? Why are you being so cold to me? I should be the one who's angry. Yet it seems like the opposite.”

Something dark and bitter flashed across my face as memories of those photographs resurfaced. My mother showed my photos of Emma in another man's arms, smiling and happy, while I was drowning in misery and obligations. I was told she eloped with Justin, the man whom she told me her father took in and they were like siblings.

"You want to know why?”

"Yeah, I want to. Because I am living my best life and have put all that happened behind me

It's a bit confusing. There is a mix-up with who is saying what.

OK so they could have resolved exactly what happened and brought the truth to lie if they just communicated openly right then. But of course I didn't so the story can be dragged out forever, with the continuing conflict. Lazy writing.

  • THE ALPHA'S REGRET    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE

    *****DARRELL'S POV******The moment her eyes opened, the moment I saw those beautiful blue eyes flutter and focus on me, I felt like I could breathe again for the first time in a year.A whole fucking year.It’s been hell. A miserable, empty, endless hell. That I was even hardly myself. Every single second, every single minute of watching her motionless in that bed, hooked up to machines for a whole three hundred and sixty-five days, was a torture for me.But now she was awake. She’s back to me, looking at me with that bright smile on her face. And seeing that smile was like watching the sun rise after the longest, darkest night of my life."Darell," she whispered, and her voice was hoarse from disuse, but it was the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard.I moved closer to the bed, my heart pounding so hard I thought it might burst right out of my chest. "Thank goodness you're back," I breathed, my voice cracking. I leaned down, pressing my forehead gently against hers, our noses brus

    Even if he killed someone right in front of everyone, he will still be able to crawl his way out. And that is Alexander Song."It was you," I said, my voice shaking with rage and grief and a thousand other emotions I couldn't name. "You did this.”"I did no such thing, Em." Alex replied, but there was no real conviction in his denial. "Look here, I know you are pissed but…..”“No,” I shook my head. “Don't try to lie. I already know everything about you. So you don't need to lie to me again. You definitely did this, Alex. You did this to him.” Tears were streaming down my face now, hot and endless.“Why? I did everything you asked. Everything! I left him. I divorced him. I came back to you. I agreed to marry you. I gave up everything for you, and it still wasn't enough, was it? You still had to destroy him completely!"My voice was rising.“Emma, you need to calm down. The doctor said….”"Why?!" I demanded, and my voice broke on the word. "Why did you do this? He was no threat to you a

    My eyelids felt heavy, weighted down with exhaustion that went bone-deep. It took effort to open them, and force my eyes to focus on the white ceiling above me. How long had I been here?I had no idea.Then I remembered what happened last.And what I heard.No.That definitely can't be possible?I knew Darell. For that to happen at this exact time when I needed an escape route, I think it might be one of his tricks.He…..is definitely okay.I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. And to believe that the news was just something Darell did to ruin my wedding with Alex, but there was just this part of me that just won't stop having that bad thought and I found my hand hitting my chest as it was just getting more hurt as I kept thinking of it.And as minutes went by, I kept getting more worried. Fear creeping in.No. “I need to confirm this by myself.” I said, unable to hold it in any longer.My hands moved to the IV line taped to my arm and I started pulling at it, desperate to get

    My eyes wouldn't stop moving around, scanning everywhere, looking for something I called hope. My hands wouldn't stop trembling as it seemed the one I had put my last hope on had failed me. I clutched the delicate fabric of my wedding dress, the silk and lace feeling less like beauty and more like chains binding me. The room should have been cold, but I wasn’t. I was burning—so hot that sweat ran down my thighs and trickled from my forehead. Then I felt Alex’s hand press against my back, and my whole body shook. To others, his touch might have seemed tender, and even loving, but I felt the warning in it. The subtle pressure that said: Behave… or you won’t get the antidote. Fuck. I am doomed. What am I going to do right now? I have done everything I could do to….to just stall this wedding as much as possible but now….. My heart hammered against my ribs so hard I thought everyone in the hall must be able to hear it. "Emma." Alex's voice was low, meant only for me, but there was

    Seeing she still needed more proof, I walked to the bed, bent down, and retrieved the small box. The one I found in Alex’s room.The one that belongs to Jace.Fiona has told me that before Jace died, he came to see her. And that he kept something in his small box. She described it for me and I ended up finding it in Alex's safe.I hadn't been able to open it. It was locked with a password that I didn't know. And that must be why Alex was also keeping it. As he can't open it either, neither can it break as it was made of a strong metal.But I was sure if Alex really knew what was inside it, he would have used every possible means to destroy it.I walked back to Jane and held out the box.She stared at it like I was offering her a venomous snake. Her eyes went wide, her breath catching audibly in her throat. Her hand rose slowly, trembling, reaching for it but stopping just short of touching it.She recognized it.Of course she recognized it. What mother wouldn't recognize something tha

    I couldn’t believe it.That I'm standing in front of a mirror again, wearing a wedding dress when it hasn't even been a few months since my first wedding. When I could still remember the weight of Darell's hand in mine, the way he looked at me like I was his entire world, the promises we made to each other that I thought would last forever.But what choice do I have here?My hands are tied. And my children's lives depend solely on my actions. Every decision, every word, and every breath I take could mean the difference between Hailey living or dying, and between my unborn child surviving or being sacrificed.I'm not a bride today. I'm a prisoner in white lace.I heard the door opening, the sharp, distinctive click of heels against the marble floor as someone made their way in. Through the mirror, I could see who had just entered, and despite everything, despite the heaviness crushing my chest and the fear coiling in my stomach, a genuine smile graced my face.It was Jane Kim.Alexa
