The Billionaire's Regret Turns Out I Was Walking Back To My Husband
I stared at my faint reflection in the glass closet door.My hair was tied low, a few strands falling around my face. My lips looked slightly pale. My green eyes were too wide. Somehow, my face looked calm in a way that was almost insulting to the situation.I looked like a woman deciding whether to burn down the building or just its owner.“Does he know?” I asked.Hazel didn’t answer.“Hazel.”“I can’t prove what Sebastian knows right now.”“Don’t talk like a contract clause.”“I can’t prove it,” she repeated, softer this time. “But based on the documents he kept, the safe, the password, and the fact that counsel was waiting for authorization from him, I’d say it’s very hard to believe he didn’t know the process was never completed.”I swallowed. My throat was dry.“He never told me,” I said.“I know.”“He let me call myself divorced.”“I know.”“He saw Adrian’s ring.”“Jas…”“He watched me stand in that room after his stepbrother had just proposed to me.”“And that is exactly why yo
The Billionaire's Regret The Ring Is Gone. The Marriage Isn’t.
“Who is it?” Sebastian asked.I didn’t answer.Not because I was being dramatic. Drama required energy, and every ounce of my emotional energy was currently being used to keep myself from throwing my phone at the enormous penthouse windows, which, honestly, looked far too confident for something that could probably shatter if I threw a vase at them.Poppy was still asleep on the sofa, or at least doing her version of sleep, which meant keeping her eyes closed while occasionally moving one foot just to make sure every adult in the room remained alert.Sebastian sat at the end of the sofa, one hand still wrapped around her small ankle, the security tablet in the other. Luca stood near the console with the expression of a man who had already accepted that my personal life was now a new logistical problem.“Hazel?” Sebastian asked again, quietly.I looked at him for one second too long.That was my mistake.He caught everything. He always did. One tiny change in my eyes, one strange pause
The Billionaire's Regret My Marriage Is Buffering
She looked at me like I’d just offered her an indentured servitude contract. “What kind of fruit?”“Strawberries, melon, grapes. Salma cut them earlier.”“What shape?”I stared at her. “Fruit shape, Poppy.”“No. Yesterday the melon was cut into squares. Too geometric.”Sebastian looked down at her. “Too geometric?”“Yes. I don’t like food that has math.”“It’s melon,” Luca said, unable to help himself.Poppy slowly turned her head toward him. Her bangs were still covering her eyes. Somehow, the look was sharp anyway. “Then you eat it if you like geometry.”Luca raised both hands. “I withdraw.”I sighed and headed back into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and found the bowl of fruit, which had indeed been cut far too neatly. Salma, bless her practical soul, had cut the melon like an architect. I opened a drawer, took out a small knife, and started recutting a few pieces into shapes that made no sense. Half oval, half disaster. If a chef saw them, they’d cry. If Poppy saw them, she’d pr
The Billionaire's Regret The World Can Wait Outside
“Full lockdown.”The words left Sebastian’s mouth without any raised volume, without drama, without a single theatrical gesture I could accuse him of enjoying. Somehow, the fact that he was so calm made the entire room move faster.Luca was already typing before the echo of the sentence had even died. Two fingers moved across the tablet, quick and cold. From the main room came a soft beep from the panel near the elevator, followed by the low sound of something locking deep inside the penthouse walls.Not a prison sound.Not an iron gate.More like a five-star hotel deciding the outside world was no longer elegant enough to come in.Poppy, still in Sebastian’s arms, lifted her head, hair stuck to her cheek and one green eye only half open. “Full what?”“Full nothing,” I answered quickly, walking closer before my brain had time to start screening its own horror movie. “The grown-ups are using boring words because they don’t have hobbies.”Poppy narrowed her eyes at me, unconvinced. Even

“I know.” Sebastian chuckled.“Bunny’s sad too.” She lifted Bunny a little. “He says too many people in this house talk serious.”I glanced at Luca. “Bunny has a point.”Luca looked down at his tablet, probably to save himself from laughing in front of his boss, who was currently turning into a walking fortress.Sebastian held out a hand. Poppy immediately took one step forward, then stopped, remembering something.“Daddy bring snack?”“I’ve failed as a father.”Poppy sighed with a heaviness no body that small should’ve been capable of. “Again.”I closed my eyes for a second. “Poppy.”“I’m just honest, Mommy.”“Your honesty tends to carry a knife.”“That’s because I’m a little Russian.”“Unfortunately true.”Sebastian picked her up.The second Poppy settled into his arms, half of her post-short-nap outrage melted away. She pressed her face into Sebastian’s shoulder, Bunny wedged between them, her hair spilling across his white shirt, which probably cost more than a semester of tuition
The Billionaire's Regret Someone Went Looking For The Wife
Sebastian looked at me for a long moment.He wasn’t angry.Well, if he was angry, I could fight back. If he raised his voice, I could burn down the entire kitchen with words. But he just stood there looking at me with that face, his expensive, cold face, dark blue eyes like elevator doors leading to a floor that wasn’t listed.“I asked,” he said quietly, “if you went into my office.”“I heard you. Your diction was very clear.”“Jasmine.”“I went in,” I said finally, turning the glass between my fingers. “Your office doesn’t bite. A little arrogant, maybe, but that could just be the owner rubbing off on it.”Something shifted in his jaw. Barely. “You opened the safe.”I raised an eyebrow. “The safe hidden behind a bookshelf like you’re a villain in a nineties movie?”“I need to know what you saw.”“And I need a private yacht that doesn’t come with a family crisis, but life likes to keep things interesting.”“This isn’t a game.”“No,” I said, my smile fading slightly. “Games usually hav
