Elodie's POV

By the time I finished getting dressed, Kevin was gone.

I found the bedroom door slightly ajar and the appointment folder still inside the drawer where I had left it. For a moment, I considered moving it somewhere safer, but there was no reason to hide it. He had already seen the confirmation. Whether he liked what it said or not, nothing about my plans had changed.

I collected my bag and headed downstairs.

The housekeeper had prepared breakfast, and I sat at the dining table long

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Scarred Wife Back   Chapter Forty-Six

    Kevin's POV The meeting had been going on for nearly forty minutes when my phone lit up beside the documents.I glanced at the screen, expecting another message from my assistant. Instead, I found a photograph from someone I knew through the theatre community."Is that your wife, Elodie? She looks so different and breathtaking! Didn't know she was back into theatre business."I opened it.Elodie sat at a restaurant table, smiling at something, eyes locked on Adam Warner. He was beside her, leaning slightly in her direction, his attention fixed on her rather than the conversation happening around them.I studied the picture longer than I intended.She looked beautiful. The wine-coloured dress suited her, and her hair fell loosely around her shoulders. There was something different about her expression, too. She looked comfortable, almost carefree.I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen her loo

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Scarred Wife Back   Chapter Forty-Five

    Elodie's POV By the time I returned home, the afternoon had already slipped away.I went straight upstairs, dropped my bag on the bed and checked my phone. There was still enough time to get ready for dinner without rushing. The theatre assistant had sent the restaurant details, along with a message confirming that the director and most of the production team would be there.I smiled as I read it.It was strange how something as simple as being invited to dinner could make me feel this excited. For years, I had attended events because Kevin expected me to accompany him or because his family needed to maintain appearances. I had learned how to sit quietly, smile when necessary and make myself as unobtrusive as possible.Tonight was different. These people had invited me because they wanted me there.I showered, then spent a little longer than usual deciding what to wear. I eventually settled on a fitted wine-coloured dress that fell just below my knees, with a modest neckline and a s

My phone buzzed while I was checking the time.It was a message from the theatre assistant.The director would like to speak with you when you arrive. He wants to go over the arrangements for your role.I replied that I would be there shortly.The journey to the theatre was uneventful. I spent most of it reviewing the notes I had made the previous evening, particularly the sections the musical director wanted me to examine. There was still plenty to do be

    Elodie's POV For a moment, neither of us moved.Kevin stood beside the table, holding the appointment confirmation in one hand. His eyes were fixed on the document, and I tightened the belt of my bathrobe before crossing the room."Give it to me."He looked up. "What is this?""Something that belongs to me."I reached for the paper, but he didn't immediately release it."You're going to Italy?"I pulled the document from his hand and placed it inside the folder before he could inspect anything else."Yes.""For what?"I looked at him. "A full-time position as a vocal coach and resident arranger at the Royal Opera House for their upcoming international season. I've already accepted."His expression shifted. "You've accepted a position in Italy?""That's what I just said.""When did this happen?""Some time ago.""And you didn't think to tell me?"I gave a small, humourless laugh. "I tried to tell you I was leaving, Kevin. I told you I wanted a divorce more than once, but you never too

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Scarred Wife Back   Chapter Forty-Two

    Elodie's POVI spent most of the morning in my bedroom, going through the documents the theatre's assistant had sent me.The previous day's conversation with Kevin occasionally came back to mind. He had asked several questions about the opportunity, particularly about Adam and how closely we would be working together. I hadn't thought much of it at the time, but his interest had been unusual.Kevin had never paid much attention to my activities outside the house. Even when I had been involved in theatre before, he rarely asked what I was doing or how things were going. Yet now, he seemed interested in knowing how often I would be seeing Adam.I couldn't decide whether it was simply curiosity or something else. Perhaps he was only trying to understand the arrangement, as he had claimed. Still, I found it strange that Adam had become such a significant part of his questions when the opportunity itself had very little to do with him.I pushed the thought aside. Whatever Kevin's reasons

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Scarred Wife Back   Chapter Forty-One

    Kevin's POVI locked my phone and placed it on the desk, but the image remained in my mind.There was nothing particularly unusual about the photograph. Adam was standing beside Elodie, and they were looking at a musical score. It was an ordinary moment captured during rehearsal.Still, I found myself opening it again.Elodie was smiling.I couldn't remember the last time she had looked that comfortable around me.I put my phone away and turned my attention to the documents on my desk. The production was preparing for an upcoming preview, and Elodie had apparently been asked to assist with some of the vocal arrangements.She had never mentioned wanting to return to theatre until recently. Now she was spending her mornings there, working alongside Adam and people who seemed to know a side of her I had barely bothered to understand.I closed the report and checked the time. It was getting late.By the time I arrived home that evening, the house was quiet. I loosened my tie as I entered
