Adrian's POV

"Just a little more above the heel…" Evelyn coaxed. After I moved my fingers to the desired spot, she let out a sigh of relief and sank back down into the bed. "You would think after laying in bed all day that my feet wouldn't be so sore."

"Well, you've been long overdue for a foot massage, it seems." I chuckled. "Does it feel better?"

"It does… Thank you."

"Of course."

When I looked into Evelyn's eyes, I could see that her earlier wariness dissolved somewhat, but for some reason, i

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 82 — A Monster In The Making

    Evelyn's POVWhen Zane proposed we would spend the evening at the penthouse of a club, I didn't think I had it in me to agree to it. I think this was his way of buttering me up to accepting the position at Taylor & Co., which I did agree at least for a tour of the offices.But what I wasn't expecting was to see Adrian having Zane by his collar with the intent to beat the hell out of him.I dropped the bottle of sparkling water as it crashed against the expensive marble floor."ZANE!" I cried, my voice taut with desperation and anguish. "OH MY GOD!"It all happened so quickly that I didn't even have time to process anything. In the next second, Zane was falling fast; the side of his head hit the sharp corner of the table.I had to will myself forward to Zane's side and put myself between him and Adrian… Or whoever this man was supposed to be. Because that definitely wasn't the Adrian I knew.Ironic that he was the one warning me about his brother being the dangerous one. Maybe that was

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 81 — A Trap Laid Out

    Adrian's POVI needed to find a way to expose Zane for what he truly was. A manipulator. A potential monster.My mind raced as fast as my car on my way home. I needed to think of a way to set him up and show Evelyn that it was all nothing more than an act.I needed to keep her safe. Even if she didn't believe me. Even if she wanted me to stay out of her affairs.I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to her. No matter how things were now, I wasn't going to stand by and watch Zane sink his claws into her for whatever sick game he was playing.Once I was home, I locked myself in my study and got to researching. Over the last few days, Luke had sent me as much information on Zane as he could get.Which, it wasn't much, but there was one thing that proved to be useful—a high luxury club he seemed to favor. Floor 55.Now I had a place where I would confront him. Even with the added bonus of there being more people to witness his downfall.Was it stupid? Probably. Should

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 80 — A Plan In Motion

    Zane's POVAdrian was investigating me. Well, at least I was sure that he was, I just couldn't prove it.Just yesterday, Glenn caught track of someone looking into the Larsen family from Seattle. It was enough to raise alarm bells, but before he could track the source, it disappeared.Even though Adrian was too young to understand how our families once operated with one another, he would've been the only one who would be interested in looking them up. Especially now, given the circumstances of their fall from grace. Was he catching onto my past? No… He couldn't have. I'd been too careful. Maybe it was some journalist from the area who couldn't let go of the past.When I pulled up to the park where I knew Evelyn was going to be, I sat in the car for a little while longer. My eyes burned onto her beautiful figure the same way the cigarette smoke burned as it filled up my lungs.The way her hair framed her face, and her stiff, yet elegant posture, stood tall and defiant.I couldn't wait

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 79 — Nothing But Lies

    Evelyn's POVThe midday sun shone brilliantly against a cloudless sky and the breeze made my hair dance lightly across my face. It was a beautiful day, and one I intended to enjoy fully. Especially since Mila practically held me hostage in the townhome for all of last night.She wanted to know about everything that was going on between Zane and I. Even though, there truly was nothing outside of him just going above and beyond due to my falling out with Adrian.At first, she didn't really buy it. She didn't think that a man was willing to do all of that just because he was feeling bad.Yet, I insisted. I repeated myself like a broken record. There truly was nothing going on between Zane and I, no matter how much she wished it would be so.So, after countless hours of badgering me with the same questions and getting all my things unpacked and put away, Mila decided that she was more frustrated than satisfied."You better text me if something happens though!" She'd said the night before.

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 78 — I'm Telling The Truth

    Adrian's POVI tossed and turned all night, not getting an ounce of restful sleep. So, when it came time for me to actually get up, it felt like I was being weighed down by a ton of bricks. Even the usual morning rays were harsh and blinding against my barely opened eyesAll I could worry about was Evelyn and her involvement with my older brother… The worst case scenarios plagued every thought, both waking and ill-attempted sleep.What were Zane's plans? What was the ultimate goal? Why did it HAVE to involve Evelyn?I had to get to the bottom of this. Even if it meant doing something as stupid as confronting Zane directly. Sitting idly as his claws threatened to drag Evelyn into whatever dark world he was now absorbed in wasn't an option.After making myself look somewhat decent, I went straight to Zane's home. When I arrived, something about the atmosphere felt… off. It was like the bright sun overhead couldn't penetrate the dark cloud that seemingly hung over the place.I ascended th

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 77 — Fighting For You

    Bianca's POVOver the course of the last few days, I watched the way Adrian moved, the way he spoke, the way he acted, and everything in between. Something about him seemed… off. It wasn't until I came home one afternoon with the intent of surprising him with some takeout that I found out why.I climbed the steps on the way to his study when his low voice cut through the hardwood door."He's targeting HER, Luke!" Adrian's voice was low and dripping with malice. "He's planning something involving Evelyn, and I can't let him get any closer than he already is! My god, if anything happens to her, I swear to god—""Nothing's going to happen to her," Luke spoke reassuringly. "We're still combing for any information that we can, and I'll update you once we find something. We'll keep her safe.""Alright, alright… Thank you. Just keep me posted.""Yes, sir."My hand wrapped around the study door so tight my knuckles turned white. When I told Adrian the other day about Evelyn and Zane having din

I had to dig my nails into the palm of my hands, but when I felt the pain of being awake in this reality, that was when it hit me.Adrian actually asked for my side of the story. He wanted to know t
