The Billionaire’s Regret 260: I SHOULD HAVE MADE FRIENDS
ELARA’S POV I don’t know how long I had been walking, but I could count the few times I had to stop and puke on the side before pushing myself to keep going. A part of me screamed at me, begged me to stay back with Nate, to take in his words, believe everything, and just go with him. But for some reason… I couldn’t. I didn’t want to. It just didn’t feel right. Every single time I fell into a huge mess, I never got the chance to solve it myself or even think it through. This time, I wanted it all to be my decision. I knew I would be safer with him, but… I just don’t think I can trust anyone right now. So, I kept walking. Trying my best to see through my blurred vision, I walked until I could no longer hear Nate’s footsteps behind me. Until I couldn’t take another step. I had no idea where I was going or what I was supposed to do next, but one thing I knew for sure is I needed to be by myself. I took the next turn to my left. I tried to think of a single place or a single friend I
The Billionaire’s Regret 259: CLOSE ENOUGH.
ELARA’S POV “Elara.” The sound of Nate’s voice cuts through the parking lot, his footsteps closing in. But I don’t stop. My chest is tight, bile rising, tears clawing at my throat. And I’m trying so damn hard to keep everything in check. “Elara.” Hearing him only fuels my anger. I don’t want to talk. Not to him, or anyone else… Not after Elliot. Not after everything. His hand catches my wrist, pulling me still. The throbbing pain eating sharper at my barefoot. “Let go of me! ” “Where are you going?” “that’s none of your business, Nate.” I try to pull away but His grip doesn’t falter, like if he lets go I’ll disappear. “Elara, we need to get you home its not safe your health-“ “Leave me alone Nate” I try moving but he doesn’t budge, “if you keep walking barefoot like that, you’ll hurt yourself” he was right, my entire foot has changed color but I didn’t even pay attention to the throbbing is nothing compared to the ankle brace I had on not long a go. “I told yo
The Billionaire’s Regret 258: BROKEN PROMISES
ELARA’S POVFor years, I tried to erase that name from my memory. To bury it so deep it would feel like Jeremy never existed, like he was nothing more than a nightmare I once woke up from.Nobody in my family ever mentioned him again. I thought we had all silently agreed to leave the past in the past.“The man who killed Jeremy?” My words scrape out of me in a whisper. Those words alone knock something loose in my chest.Elliot’s eyes flash with rage, his forehead creasing. “You know who he is. You saw what kind of man he can be. And after all that, you still—”“After all these years, you still haven’t come to terms with what happened to him,” he spits.I knew Elliot had never liked Nate. I never understood why. I thought it was for my sake—because of the divorce. But standing here now, I can’t help but wonder if it’s always been about Jeremiah.“There was nothing to come to terms with,” I snap. “We all know the truth, Elliot. We all know whose fault it was.”“Your prince charming had
The Billionaire’s Regret 257: I NEVER ASKED YOU TO SAVE ME
ELARA’S POV “Elliot, wait.” My voice scraped out between ragged breaths as I pulled back with every ounce of strength I had left. He stopped so abruptly I nearly stumbled into him. The air outside felt like fire in my lungs. hot, dry and unrelenting. the blazing sun slammed into my skin for the first time in days. My head was throbbing as the world swaying in and out of focus. My stomach clenched hard, forcing me to bite down on a gasp. Elliot had dragged me down two flights of stairs before I could even think, and now we stood in what looked like an open parking lot. Rows of cars aligned but little to no one in sight . “The car’s over there,” he said shortly, reaching for my hand again. “I’ll explain in the car.” “No.” I yanked my hand back, harder this time. My pulse thundered in my ears. “No,” I repeated, my voice sharper. The flash hit me fast Nicolas’s grip crushing my arm, the way he’d manhandled me when he took me. “What?” “Where are you taking me?”
The Billionaire’s Regret 256: DISCHARGED
ELARA’S POV Since I woke up, I’ve been dozing off and waking up multiple times, which I find very weird. But the doctor claimed, “It’s completely normal” for someone who went through what I went through to feel like that. But for some reason, I’m not very sure I believe her. Not just her… I don’t believe anyone. I find myself feeling as if something is entirely wrong, but no one is talking about it. Or maybe I’m the only one sensing it. It’s weird, how Nate is the only person here with me. Elliot hasn’t showed up, not even once! My mother isn’t here either. Not that I expected her to be, but still… I thought she might come. Maybe Elliot would tell her everything and she’d come storming through the door, causing a scene or maybe yelling over my head about what I should and shouldn’t have done. When I asked Nate, he said Elliot is busy and would be here as soon as possible. It’s been two days. No sight of him anywhere. And that only made my gut tingle I lean back against t
The Billionaire’s Regret 255:
NATE’S POV I sat there, stiff and quiet, the doctor’s words echoing in my head like they were trying to convince me of something I couldn’t believe. “She’s getting better, Mr. Hales,” the doctor said gently. “Physically, her vitals are improving heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure… all stabilizing. She’s responding well to fluids and pain meds, and her body is healing faster than expected, considering the trauma.” I nodded, but my jaw stayed tight. Then she added, “But the therapy… she’s going to need it. Even though she hasn’t had another outburst like the first time, she’s going to therapy especially with the pregnancy, her hormones are all over the place. This kind of trauma doesn’t go away with sleep and meds.” My throat dried. “And what about the vomitting?” Since two days ago when she finally woke up, she’s been vomiting and sometimes she wakes her up at night just to vomit.. I know it’s a pregnancy supreme but isn’t it a little too much?” “It’s common, to have mor
