The Billionaire's Biggest Regret What He Does
JadeHe left a cup of coffee on my nightstand the next morning.I found it when I woke up, still warm, with a note folded under the handle that said eight thirty, don’t be late in his handwriting, which was cleaner than I expected from a man who ran most of his life from a phone. I lay there for a moment looking at the cup and the note and the pale winter light coming through the curtains, and I thought about nothing in particular, which was unusual for me and felt like something worth noticing.He had already left by the time I sat up. I could hear the particular quiet of an apartment that recently had someone in it and now did not. His coat was gone from the chair. The kitchen was clean, the wine glasses from the night before washed and left on the drying rack, which was something I had not asked him to do and which he had done anyway in the way he did most things, without announcement.I picked up the coffee and drank it and looked at the ceiling and thought about the way he had ki
The Billionaire's Biggest Regret I love you so fucking much
JadeHe kissed me deeper.His mouth opened against mine, and I felt the shift in him, the way he stopped holding back. His hand slid into my hair and angled my head so he could take more. I tasted the wine on his tongue and the heat of him, and I kissed him back just as hard. My fingers found the front of his shirt and pulled him closer until there was almost no space left between us on the couch.He made a low sound in his throat and moved over me, pressing me back into the cushions. One of his knees pushed between my thighs. I opened for him without thinking. His weight settled on me, and it felt right, solid, like he belonged there. I wrapped one leg around his hip and felt him hard against me through our clothes.Hayes broke the kiss only long enough to look at me. His eyes were dark and focused.“I need you,” he said.Then he was kissing me again, harder this time. His hands worked under my top and pushed it up. I lifted my arms so he could pull it off. The cool air touched my sk
The Billionaire's Biggest Regret As If Nothing Happened
JadeHe texted at six.Still on for tonight?I looked at the message for a long moment. The showroom was quiet around me, Rosa gone for the day, and Camille’s desk cleared. I had spent the afternoon moving through the spring collection with the focused attention of someone who needed her hands to have somewhere to be, and it had worked well enough that four hours had passed before I looked up and realized the light had changed outside the window.Yes, I typed back. Seven?"Seven," he confirmed.I put my phone in my bag and finished closing up and walked home through the December evening, and I thought about Quinn in my showroom that afternoon and the photograph and the theory she had built around it, and I thought about what she was going to do next with what she had.I did not know she had already done it.He arrived at seven exactly, which was how Hayes arrived at things, not early enough to catch you unprepared and not late enough to make you wait. He had the bottle of wine he some
The Billionaire's Biggest Regret Do You Know Her
HAYESPriya called me on the internal line at seven fifty to tell me there was a woman in the lobby asking to see me without an appointment. She had given her name as Quinn Grey and said it was personal.I had been expecting something from Quinn eventually. She had gone quiet for too long, and women like Quinn did not go quiet because they had accepted something. They went quiet because they were deciding what to do next.“Send her up,” I said.She came into my office the way she came into all rooms, like she had already decided how it was going to go and was simply waiting for everyone else to catch up. She sat down across from my desk without being invited to, and she looked at me with the expression she had probably rehearsed for this conversation.“Hayes,” she said.“Quinn,” I said. I did not look up from the document I was reading. I let her sit for a moment before I closed the folder and gave her my attention, and I gave her the minimum of it. “You have ten minutes.”“This won’t
The Billionaire's Biggest Regret Tomorrow
JadeI finished the fitting.I do not fully remember the last hour of it, my hands going through the motions of pinning and adjusting and making the notes Rosa needed while the rest of me was somewhere else entirely. But I finished it because the collection did not stop needing to exist simply because my life was falling apart at its edges, and when Rosa packed up at six and said goodnight, I thanked her and locked up behind her and stood alone in the showroom in the quiet of a Wednesday evening.Camille had already gone. The front desk was clear. The mood board caught the last of the daylight coming through the window.I sat down on the small bench near the entrance, and I did not move for a while.Three years.I had built all of this in three years. The showroom and the label and the collection and the Calloway partnership and the Sunday calls and the trips to Savannah and the careful maintenance of two lives that never touched each other. I had done it without putting anything down
The Billionaire's Biggest Regret What I Never Told You
JadeI called Brooke from the showroom bathroom.I locked the door and sat on the edge of the small sink counter, and I held the phone in my hand for a moment before I dialed because what I was about to do I could not undo, and I needed one more second to be the person who had not yet done it.She picked up on the third ring. “What’s wrong?”“Quinn came to the showroom,” I said. “She found a photograph of me in Savannah. She knows I have been hiding something, and she is going to keep looking until she finds out what it is.”A pause. “How much does she know?”“Not much yet,” I said. “But Brooke. I need to tell you something. Something I should have told you three years ago and did not because I did not know how, and then time kept passing, and it kept getting harder, and I kept telling myself I would find the right moment.”The line went very quiet.“I’m here,” Brooke said.I looked at the bathroom door. Through it I could hear Rosa’s radio and Camille at the front desk, the ordinary
