NATE’S POV

ONE YEAR EIGHT MONTHS LATER

“What do you mean they don’t want to work with us anymore? You told me they were interested in partnering with us. What changed?” I asked Lesley, my secretary, who stood before me, visibly nervous. She looked like she was one second away from fainting.

Lesley was my third secretary this month, and while I was tempted to fire her on the spot, I resisted. I had too much on my plate to waste time with another round of interviews.

“Well... uhm, sir, the person I spoke to earlier said all their business partnerships must be approved by their CEO. And their CEO specifically declined, so they had no choice but to withdraw,” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.

I couldn’t help but let out a humourless chuckle. “This has to be the biggest joke of the year,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair.

I had turned down every other company because they assured me they would work with us. Now, with the project already underway, it was too late t

  • The Billionaire’s Regret    262: YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS.

    ELARA’S POV “Wow.” The word slips out before I can stop it. Just when I thought my day couldn’t get any worse. Just when I thought all I had to worry about were the vomits and finding a place to sleep tonight. Then I find this… I don’t know what Nicolas is trying to achieve with this. To scare me? To remind me he’s still lurking, waiting for the perfect time to strike again? Whatever his plan is… I think it’s working. The bloody letter in my hand makes my stomach twist. I read the same words over and over, until my knees threaten to give out. The room spins, Nate’s voice in the background blurring into static, and then warm, steady hands close over mine, prying the paper away. I flinch before I can stop myself. Through blurry vision I catch his eyes, dark, tight, burning with something I can’t name. Pain? Fury? Fear? Shit. Tears sting at my lids again. I blink hard, refusing to let them fall, refusing to let anyone see me cry again. I swore I was done crying to

  • The Billionaire’s Regret    261: CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.

    ELARA’S POV The drive to the restaurant wasn’t anything I expected. Kyle didn’t ask a single thing about how disoriented I looked or why I was walking alone in an area I clearly had no business being in. Surprisingly, all he talked about was art. While I had left for New York or… hell, which honestly feels like a better way to describe the past few weeks of my life. Kyle had been studying more art and color theory. “I saw a piece at the last exhibition I went to. You would’ve loved it.” “You’ve not only been studying… you’ve been going to exhibitions too?” I raised a brow. “Who is this new Kyle?” I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips. “I’ve had a lot of free time.” He shrugged, taking another spoonful of his pasta. “You definitely did” “We’ve been focusing more on construction these days… things have been a little slow. ” I couldn’t help that little pang that guilt that knotted in my chest. Things must’ve been hard after I left without any notice.

  • 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

    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

    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

    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?”
