Afternoon slipped into evening in the rudest way possible, quietly, without asking permission.

On the surface, the penthouse still felt normal. Poppy ate her not-too-toasted toast while sitting at the island.

  • The Billionaire's Regret   You Never Let Us End

    Afternoon slipped into evening in the rudest way possible, quietly, without asking permission.On the surface, the penthouse still felt normal. Poppy ate her not-too-toasted toast while sitting at the island. Security moved beneath the skin of the place: elevators locked, corridors guarded, staff called back one by one for reverification, food unable to come upstairs without being checked first. But inside, Poppy spilled bread crumbs all over Bunny’s cardigan, Sebastian wiped them off with a napkin, Luca took call after call, and I sat there like a woman who had just hidden a grenade behind her ribs.Salma appeared not long after, wearing a suspicious expression and delivering a comment in Russian that didn’t need translating for Sebastian to know he was being insulted.“Full lockdown?” she asked, looking Sebastian up and down.“Temporary.”“All men say that before turning the house into a bunker.”I snorted. “I can’t argue with that.”Poppy immediately took advantage of Salma’s arriv

  • The Billionaire's Regret   This Is A Terrible Time To Become Considerate

    “Mommy,” Poppy said more quietly, “why did your face get quiet?”I looked at my daughter.It should’ve been a small question. Just the voice of a four-year-old who had just woken up, hair still looking like the result of a failed negotiation with a pillow, Bunny in her hands, cardigan sitting crooked on him. But somehow, in the same room where Sebastian was standing far too still and Luca was pretending to be busy with his tablet, the question felt like a spotlight.I lifted my chin slightly and did what Belsky women had always done when their entire lives had just been set on fire with one tiny match.Lied with imaginary lipstick on.“I’m thinking about taxes,” I said.Poppy blinked.Sebastian didn’t.“Taxes?” Poppy repeated, like I’d just named a contagious disease.“Yes. Taxes. The scariest thing after broccoli and people who say beige is a lifestyle.”Poppy looked at Bunny.Then at the little cardigan now wrapped around the stuffed rabbit.“Bunny gets taxes?”“Not yet. But if Bunn

  • 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

    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.
