Mr. Whitmore reached toward him again. "My son..."

He stepped back. "No."

The distance between them suddenly felt immeasurable.

"I don't need apologies anymore." His gaze drifted toward the mansion one last time. "I needed a mother when there was still something left to save. Not now."

The words struck Mrs. Whitmore harder than any slap could have. She stood in the rain, clutching the broken family portrait against her chest, unable to move.

Rowan turned away from both her and the estate.

  • The Billionaire’s New Love: You Remembered Too Late   Chapter 191

    Kennedy immediately took a sip of coffee as though nothing had happened.Aria hid her smile behind her cup, then Kennedy looked at her again. Edward Vale's daughter, Sean Vale's sister, Shannon Miles' best friend, none of those things were mutually exclusive, that was the problem. For twenty seven years, everything had been simple.Edward Vale was his enemy, the Vale family was the family he would destroy, revenge had been clean when the people involved were faceless pieces on a board, then he found Shannon and suddenly those pieces became people she loved.Kennedy looked down at his coffee. "It is what it is."Aria blinked. She hadn't expected that.Kennedy lifted his gaze. "I still hate your surname."Aria's lips twitched. "Fair.""I still intend to deal with your father."Her smile disappeared. "I figured.""And I haven't suddenly forgiven your brother." Kennedy took another sip. "But..." He looked toward the hallway. "...I'll have coffee."Aria slowly smiled.Downstairs, champagne

    Kennedy remained completely still. Something twisted painfully inside his chest then he closed his eyes briefly. Why? Why Sean? Out of every man his daughter could have fallen in love with, every family in the world she could have become connected to, why did fate choose Edward Vale's son?The same little boy Kennedy had spent years imagining as the perfect target for his revenge, the child Edward loved, the firstborn son, the one Kennedy had once thought about taking away so Edward could understand what it meant to lose a child.Now that same boy was sitting inside his house, holding Kennedy's daughter, touching her stomach, smiling at their unborn child.Kennedy opened his eyes. He hated it, God, he hated it. Not Sean, that was becoming increasingly difficult. He hated what Sean represented. He hated the name, Vale. He hated that Edward's blood would run through his grandchild. He hated that his daughter loved the son of the man he'd sworn to destroy. Most of all he hated that somew

    Everything inside Sean seemed to stop. He stared at her. Nothing, no words, no movement, not even a blink.Shannon's smile slowly became nervous. "Sean?"His lips parted. "...Pregnant?"She nodded. "Yes.""Like..."Shannon waited.Sean looked completely broken. "...pregnant pregnant?"A laugh burst from her. "What other pregnant is there?""I don't know." He looked down again. "You're..." His eyes returned to hers. "...having a baby?""We're having a baby."Sean stopped breathing.Shannon felt his hand tremble against her stomach."We?" His voice cracked on the word.Her expression softened. "Yes, dummy."She placed her hand over his. "You, me and our baby."Sean stared at her for another second then suddenly stood.Shannon barely had time to react before his arms wrapped around her. He pulled her against him. "Oh my God."A laugh escaped her. "Careful!"Sean immediately released her. "Fuck. Sorry." He looked down at her stomach in horror. "Did I squeeze the baby?"Shannon burst into

    Shannon blinked. "What?""I'm sorry." Sean lowered his phone. "I shouldn't have done that downstairs.""Sean...""I was trying to stop him." His words began coming faster. "I wasn't trying to challenge your father. I know that's probably what it looked like, but I swear I wasn't."Shannon stared at him.Sean dragged a hand over his face. "I just..." He exhaled heavily. "I could see where everything was going." He stepped closer. "Your father was going after mine, my father was getting angry, people were already choosing sides, businesses were getting dragged into it and I knew if I fought back..." His eyes filled with regret. "...eventually you'd be standing between us."Shannon's expression softened."I don't want that." Sean shook his head. "I don't ever want you having to choose between your father and me." His voice cracked slightly. "You just found him."Shannon's eyes immediately burned."You've had twenty seven years stolen from you. I'm not going to become the reason you lose

    Sean looked away. He hated this, every second, every camera, every whisper, every pair of eyes watching his family fall apart, but whenever he looked toward Shannon he remembered why he was doing it. He couldn't let this become a war because eventually she would be forced to choose her father or him, and Sean refused to put the woman he loved in that position.Kennedy finally spoke. "Eighty percent."Sean nodded."You think that fixes twenty seven years?""No." The answer came immediately.Kennedy's expression shifted slightly.Sean continued. "I don't think anything can." He stepped closer. "You lost your wife, you believed your daughter was dead, you lost your family's wealth, you lost twenty seven years." Sean slowly shook his head. "There isn't a percentage I can give you that returns any of that."Kennedy's eyes hardened. "Then why offer it?""Because you're coming after the business." Sean's voice remained quiet. "So I'm giving you the business."Kennedy stared at him.Sean cont

    Sean didn't move. The ballroom remained eerily silent around him, hundreds of people waiting to see whether the younger man standing opposite Kennedy Miles truly intended to challenge him.Sean slowly looked around. He recognized almost every face. Some personally, some professionally, some because he'd sat across from them at negotiation tables, others because he'd helped them when their companies were on the verge of collapsing. Men who had called him at midnight because a deal was falling apart, executives whose mergers he'd rescued, investors he'd protected from disastrous decisions, politicians who had requested introductions, families he'd helped quietly, without ever asking for anything in return.His expression hardened. "Since everyone seems to be deciding where they stand..."Several guests shifted uncomfortably.Sean continued. "...then those of you who owe me favors should remember them."The room became even quieter.Edward slowly looked toward his son.Kennedy's eyes na

    The first thing Shannon felt was the weight, like her entire body had been dragged beneath something heavy and invisible, pressing her down into a darkness that refused to let her rise.Then came the sound, a slow, steady beep... beep... beep...It echoed from far away at first, distant and unreal,

    The hospital discharged them the next day.Shannon didn’t know whether that was fate or cruelty.She stood just outside the building, her fingers gripping the thin discharge papers in her hand as the sunlight hit her face. Too bright. Like the world hadn’t just ended for her.A few steps ahead Rowa

    Shannon’s knees weakened beneath her. Three months of silence. Three months of absence. Three months where she wasn’t there. Her breathing grew uneven. Three months where someone else was. Her gaze slowly shifted back to Rowan. And this time she understood. Rowan watched her, something sharp

    Rowan sat on the bed, his arm wrapped loosely around Evelyn.Evelyn stood close, too close, and Rowan leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek like it was the most natural thing in the world.Like he had done it a hundred times.Like it belonged there.“Stop!”The word tore out of Shannon befor
