Zane's POV

Adrian 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

    Evelyn's POV"Soooo," Mila took a long, obnoxiously loud sip of her iced latte. "Tell me everything that's been going on in your life! I feel like I've been left in the dark for ages!"I laughed, taking a short sip of my Americano. "The only thing you missed out on was me stressing about packing everything and making sure we had all our documents!""But if you want to talk about being left in the dark…" I eyed her in a playful manner. "What have you been up to? When did you decide to come back to New York?""Well, if you must know, Miss Nosey…" Mila rolled her eyes, but smiled. "I'd been enjoying the nice, quiet life back in Concord. You knew I needed the break from New York, and my parents had a spare bedroom in their new house they got built. They're farmhands now, apparently.""What?" I exclaimed in surprise.Mila nodded her head. "Horses, chickens, and a few goats. They're living the quiet, retired life now.""I'm happy for them," I said genuinely."I am, too. The environment gave

    Evelyn's POVMy heart was racing in my chest as I jumped into the car and slammed the door shut. I peered up at the rearview mirror and saw Adrian look in this general direction, but luckily, he didn't seem to have his gaze set anywhere.I let out a sigh of relief."Is everything okay?" Nathan asked."Yeah. It's just..." I glanced at Alex to make sure he wasn't paying attention, and was happy to see him with his headphones on, watching a movie."I saw Adrian," I said truthfully."Did he see you?"I shook my head. "I spotted him before he even could look in our direction. Luckily, he didn't see me.""Talk about a close call." He chuckled. Though his tone was lighthearted, there was something in the way his lip twitched slightly that I knew there was something he wanted to really ask.I looked up at him in earnest. "What's wrong?""I just don't know how to ask the question I want to ask without sounding like an insecure... You know.""You can ask. We didn't get this far from not having t

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 110 — A Very Close Encounter

    Evelyn's POVWhen the plane touched down on the runway, I felt the same mixture of emotions I did a week ago. Now that I was back in New York, it felt amplified.Because now... It was real.It wasn't just some proposed idea that was on paper. No. It was actually HAPPENING.Once we found our way to the baggage carousel, I couldn't help but sprint for the bathroom just so I could throw up.After getting myself together, I came out to see Nathan and Alex with our baggage in tow—and concerned expressions on their faces."Mommy, are you okay?" Alex asked in a small and sweet voice."I am." I gave him a reassuring smile. "I just got a little sick.""Was it because of the plane? It did a weird jump when we landed! Like a kangaroo!"I couldn't help but laugh. "Maybe it was. I'm okay now, though. Thank you for asking, sweetie."I took Alex's hand in mine and walked beside Nathan as we went to stand outside the terminal.The traffic went for as long as our eyes would travel. It seemed to be movi

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 109 — Revisiting Old Chapters

    Evelyn's POVI tried to make sense of my feelings and thoughts as the emotions swirled around in my chest. As I looked at Nathan with uncertainty, I found that he was also doing the same.I wanted to be overjoyed and excited for a chance to prove myself within this industry.But on the other hand…New York?
Was that really the ONLY place in the whole United States that I could've gotten sent to? What about California? Colorado? Literally, anywhere else?Nathan placed a hand on my shoulder as he gave me a reassuring look. "Want to talk about it?"I sighed. " I mean, you already know why I'm so… conflicted about this.""Well, how do you actually feel about the opportunity itself? You get to manage your own storefront and design the clothes you sell. Is the prospect overwhelming to you or…""I mean, yeah, it's a little much. But maybe now I can see why Mr. Milani had me shadow him last year during the fiscal year business meetings.""He was setting you up for this. And with him being one

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 108 — A Proposition

    Evelyn's POVThe world stopped at that moment. In front of me was the man who had given everything to give me a second chance at life—from his career and livelihood, to all of his time and devotion.And here he was, on one knee, asking me to marry him.I couldn't give him an immediate answer. Not because I didn't want to say yes, don't get me wrong.My mind immediately replayed everything from the last five years.The panicked screaming at 2:30 in the morning because the baby was coming, the late-night crying sessions because I thought motherhood wasn't for me when postpartum became too much…From all the trips we've been to across France, Scotland, and Spain, and the small, quiet moments in between…In front of me was the man I'd built my life with over the past five years from the ashes of betrayal and heartbreak.And now, it was going to be forever."Eve…?" Nathan's soft voice pulled me from my thoughts. "Is everything okay?"I shook my head and forced myself back to the present, fl

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 107 — A Proposal

    Evelyn's POVI had to read the text several times over to make sure that I wasn't hallucinating. Yet, in plain black ink was the truth about who my actual savior was from all those years ago.I continued to read the medical report, surprised by everything they had to do to keep me alive. The emergency surgery at 3 am, having to call the respiratory team because I'd stopped breathing, and then transferring me to the intensive care unit after I'd slipped into a coma...The medical staff truly went above and beyond to make sure I was still here. I owed them my life.And through it all, Nathan stayed by my side. Because my parents couldn't afford to come out to France to be with me, he offered to act as a temporary guardian since he was the one who saved me initially.He watched it all unfold and was quick to arrange for me to be airlifted to the closest hospital. Paramedics even noted that he refused to be left behind once the helicopter arrived."It was you…" I breathed out. "It was you
