Sebastian spat a little blood to the side of his mouth.

He lifted his head slowly, worked his jaw once, and before Javier could even pull in a second breath, Sebastian’s fist slammed back into my brother’s cheek with a dull crack that might have sounded almost elegant if it hadn’t involved two rich men who were very obviously too handsome to be acting like extras in a cheap action movie.

One of the nurses at the end of the hall let out a small scream. “Monsieur!”

I closed my eyes for one second

  • The Billionaire's Regret   I Didn’t Think It Would Be Like This

    “Come on, Daddy. I want a tour.”“A tour of what?”“The sea kingdom.”“The boat,” I said automatically.Poppy pointed at me from Sebastian’s arms. “Mommy, don’t make dreams smaller.”Sebastian stood with Poppy in his arms. The movement was easy, his white shirt pulling slightly at the shoulders, his forearm tensing as it held up that small body. Poppy was chubby, beautiful, and full of opinions, but Sebastian lifted her as if her weight was simply part of the morning.“I’m going to take her to the outer deck,” he told me.“I’m going to pretend you asked permission.”“I’m telling you so you don’t send out a search party.”“My search party will carry decorative weapons.”“I’m aware.”Poppy lifted Bunny high. “Bunny is joining the inspection.”“Bunny is not allowed to touch any buttons,” Sebastian said.“Bunny has impulse control.”I snorted. “No. Bunny was once accused of stealing a spoon.”“That was never proven,” Poppy said.Sebastian walked past the terrace toward the outer deck.

  • The Billionaire's Regret   The Cute Version

    I looked at my daughter.Four years old. Messy bangs. Tiny fingers still clutching a photo that should never have made it out of the drawer this morning. Her face carried Sebastian’s lines with cruel precision, but her eyes were mine. Green. Open. Waiting for an answer as if the adult world could be explained as easily as why pancakes had to be cut into small pieces so they wouldn’t be “too arrogant.”I swallowed.Adrian’s ring pressed into the skin of my finger.Across the table, Sebastian gave me room to answer. Somehow, that almost made me angrier than if he had taken over.I set my cup down slowly. “Because Daddy Adrian came into Mommy’s life and yours when our life was already different.”Poppy tilted her head. “Different like changing clothes?”“A little.”“What if the clothes are ugly?”“Sometimes.” I rubbed the side of my cup with my thumb. “Sometimes people have a good time together, and then that time gets ruined. After that, they have to learn how to live again in a differe

  • The Billionaire's Regret   questions, quiestions

    The sea breeze stopped registering.I stared at Sebastian.My gaze moved from his face to the photo in Poppy’s hand, then back to his face again, as if, if I repeated the route enough times, one of them would turn into something that made more sense.No.The photo was still there.I still looked like a woman in her twenties who hadn’t yet learned that happiness could quietly expire. Sebastian was still standing behind me with his mouth on my cheek and his hand on my waist, as if there had never been anywhere else he wanted to be.And that same man was now sitting two chairs away from me, alive, immaculate, irritating, while our wedding photo lay between the honey and the smoked salmon.Why did that thing still exist?The question entered my head and immediately began multiplying.Who printed it?Sebastian?Luca?One of the old crew members who was sentimental and had no healthy hobbies?Why was it kept on Azzurra? Why hadn’t it been thrown away with the rest of the life he had apparen

  • The Billionaire's Regret   The Full Map.

    By breakfast, the sun had climbed high enough to strip the softness from everything.The peach sky had turned a clean blue. The Monaco sea stretched around Azzurra, calm and glossy, thin lines of light moving across its surface. The air was still cool, but the sun had begun touching skin with clear intent.I had showered, brushed my hair, and traded the robe for a pale blue dress that fell loosely to my ankles. There was no particular reason for the color. White felt too dangerous after this morning, and black at seven o’clock made it look as if I were on my way to someone’s funeral.Though if anyone mentioned Adrian before my second cup of coffee, that could still become an actual event.Breakfast had been set up on the side terrace of the upper suite.Of course, it was not just a table.The long wooden table faced the sea beneath a white shade that shifted gently in the wind. The crew had arranged porcelain plates, clear glasses, a silver coffee pot, orange juice, warm bread, cut fr

  • The Billionaire's Regret   Before the Light Found Us

    I had no idea when I fell asleep again.All I knew was that when I opened my eyes, the room was no longer completely dark.Pale blue light seeped through the gap in the curtains, so faint that the edges of the furniture emerged one by one, like objects slowly remembering their shapes. The yacht still moved gently beneath the bed. Not enough to wake anyone, only a soft rocking that made the blanket rise and fall with our breathing.I lay still.Something was different.My head turned slowly.Apparently, life never got tired of testing my blood pressure before coffee.Sebastian was asleep on the right side of the bed.Poppy lay between us, but somehow she had shifted almost entirely toward her father. Her face was buried in Sebastian’s chest, one plump cheek pressed against his white T-shirt. Her little hand gripped the front of it as if someone might try to take him away if she loosened her hold.Bunny was wedged between their stomachs.One of her ears was trapped beneath Sebastian’s c

  • The Billionaire's Regret   The Guarded Place

    I did not remember when my eyes closed.The next thing I knew, I woke in half-blue darkness.The balcony curtains were slightly open, moonlight spilling silver across the suite floor. The yacht’s engine pulsed quietly, the sea moving outside like a large animal that never slept. Poppy was still pressed against my side, one little leg kicked out from under the blanket, her hair messy on the pillow, Bunny trapped beneath her chin.I looked at the clock on the bedside table.12:47.Past midnight.My mouth was dry.I slowly shifted my body, holding my breath when Poppy moved a little. She mumbled, “No, Bunny, sea taxes tomorrow,” then went still again.I laughed without making a sound.I slipped out of bed, picked up the thin robe provided on the chair, and walked quietly into the outer room.The sofa was empty.The pillow was still there, but Sebastian was gone.Light came from the balcony.I stopped at the glass doorway.Sebastian sat outside at the small table near the railing, his lap
