The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost Chapter 88 — The Things I Can't Say
Evelyn's POVI stared at Nathan like he had spoken to me in Chinese. For a few moments, I found it hard to believe that he had spoken genuine English to me.Was it a real proposal? Or was it just a misuse of banter that gave me a false sense of hope?Nathan, ever so intuitive, seemed to sense my confusion and gave me a boyish grin. "I'm being serious, by the way.""I… I don't even know what to say." It was the only reply I could give to him while I still stared in astonishment."You don't need to say anything. Not right now anyway. I don't leave until next Thursday, which gives you about 9 or so days to think about it.""That's not a lot of time to think about uprooting my life, you know," I teased.Nathan laughed. "I know, I know. But the offer's definitely on the table, and I wouldn't simply be leaving you to navigate Europe alone. I have a beautiful townhouse out in France I bought recently, or maybe if the countryside is more your pace, I have a villa out near Florence.""Well, it
The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost Chapter 87 — Catching Up
Evelyn's POVI barely got any sleep last night. Memories from the night shared with Zane replayed in my mind like a broken record.Still, everything that had led up to this moment solidified something that I'd been struggling to really accept.Zane liked me.To what degree was it? I had no idea.My heart fluttered at the thought of having someone as thoughtful and kind as him being genuinely interested in pursuing something more meaningful with me. But a deep dread settled in my stomach at being reminded of who he was.A Langston.Adrian's older brother.Pursuing something with him meant also binding myself to the Langstons, and there was no way I could even think about doing something like that.No matter how Zane made me felt…If only Adrian hadn't been so selfish from the beginning. Maybe I would've been happier, and maybe none of this would've happened.I sighed to myself.Not like it mattered anyway. What mattered was that I got my life together and my head back on my shoulders.
The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost Chapter 86 — The Lengths I'll Go To
Zane's POV"It's okay, Eve." I gave her a reassuring smile and leaned against the balcony railing at a respectable distance from her. "Let everything out. The night is young, and I have nowhere to be."I gave myself a mental pat on the back for my ability to bullshit someone at the drop of a hat. Why the hell was she still thinking about that fuck up? Why couldn't she just move on?"I'm pretty sure I sound like a broken record…" A flat laugh escaped her lips."Not at all," I lied effortlessly. "You were betrayed by someone you loved; someone who made promises to you, and didn't uphold their end of the marriage. Not to mention, he accused you of some pretty horrendous things."Her lips pursed into a thin line. "The more I try to think about where everything went wrong, the more I draw a blank. All I can think about is how much I never stood more firm in my dislike for his and Bianca's growing closeness.""For a while, I just thought I was being selfish. After all, she had just lost you,
The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost Chapter 85 — A Different Kind of Opportunity
Zane looked at me like he hadn't understood a word I said. I was definitely speaking English, and we were the only two in the elevator, so it was clear I was speaking to him.After a few more seconds, it began to feel a little insulting."Hello?" I asked. "Are you going to answer me?"The elevator chimed at that moment, and gave Zane more of an opportunity to avoid the question. It wasn't until we reached the inside of his office—which DID have a good view like he mentioned—that he finally addressed me."I'm confused," he finally said.That response irritated the hell out of me. I couldn't believe that I had to wait for THAT answer."You know what you did," I grumbled. "You didn't have to fire him! That could've been a learning opportunity. But now he—""The learning opportunity comes when they're in the onboarding and training phase," he spoke calmly. "Not when it comes to making avoidable mistakes.""Let me explain," he continued. "There will never be an instance, even in prototypin
The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost Chapter 84 — Workplace Drama
Evelyn's POVI couldn't lie to myself and say that it didn't feel good. That familiar sense of intimacy; the closeness. It would've been so easy to melt into his arms and give in, and to bask in the warmth of love and affection I'd been missing out on since everything started.Of course, my body would want to betray me like that.However, I was blessed with a moment of clarity as I remembered whose how I was in, and whose arms were actually around me.I pulled Zane's hands away from my waist and put as much distance between us as I could. Then I took a few deep breaths to try to calm my racing heart and worn-out nerves."What the hell was that about?" I asked, feeling somewhat hostile about the situation."I—" Confusion, realization, and then guilt flashed through his features. "I-I'm sorry, Eve, I didn't realize…"He took a deep breath before continuing. "I fell asleep and had a dream… I thought Bianca came back. I thought she was giving us another chance, and I… I smelled the cooking
The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost Chapter 83 —Change Your Mind
Evelyn's POV"Nothing more than a few stitches won't fix," the doctor said in a monotonous tone. "Luckily, the wound isn't deep enough to leave scarring. However, I am going to recommend bedrest for the next twenty-four hours, since you've reported feeling instability and lightheadedness. We don't want another accident to exacerbate anything.""Thank you, doctor," I replied in a grateful, yet undeniably tired, voice."Of course, ma'am. Just about another half an hour for the stitches and the paperwork, and you two will be on your way."I watched with heavy eyelids as the doctor worked with fast, skilled hands. The adrenaline from the incident had long since worn off, and it felt like bags of sand were being stacked on my body.I couldn't even take a few minutes to process anything that had happened.All of this was just… far too exhausting.After about another hour had passed and Zane's vital signs were seen as stable, we were promptly discharged and free to go home. The drive was spen
The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost Chapter 12 — Missed Opportunity
Evelyn's POVI stared at Bianca like she had lost her damn mind—because she certainly had! When were WE going home? The only WE in this scenario was ME and MY husband. She most definitely had her own place to stay. Our house was NOT the place either."It only makes sense that I stay with you, Adrian

Evelyn's POVZane? Adrian's older brother? He was supposed to have been dead! How could he be standing here before us looking so alive like nothing had happened? There weren't even any scars on his face, and he didn't even walk with a limp!No one could believe that the former Langston heir was stan
