I honestly wanted to laugh. Or slap him again. Or hug something until it broke. One of those three.

“Funny,” I muttered. “You lied to me for years, cheated on me, came back into my life like an expensive curse, and the thing you were afraid of was me seeing you weak?”

“Yes.”

“God. Your ego should be studied.”

“Maybe.”

I shook my head slowly, then looked down at my arms, still folded tight across myself. My nails were pressing into the sleeves of my cardigan. The saddest part of all this was that

  • The Billionaire's Regret   Please, Listen

    At the mansion, the house felt too bright.Adrian carried his suitcase to the guest room that, over the past few months, had become more his room than a guest room. I watched from the kitchen doorway as he moved down the hall, Poppy still glued to his side, talking nonstop about the yacht, Marco, Bunny, the captain coat, and why the ocean didn’t have fences.I made lunch like a normal woman.Or, more accurately, like a woman trying not to explode in front of a four-year-old.Tiny pasta. Butter. A little Parmesan. Shredded chicken Salma had left in the fridge. Strawberries cut in half because if I cut them into quarters, Poppy would accuse me of “insulting the fruit’s original shape.”Poppy sat on the tall stool, still refusing to take off her coat. “Poppy, the coat.”“NOOO.”“Why?”“Authority can leak out if I take it off.”I looked at her. “I’m going to pretend that sentence doesn’t make me want to call your pediatrician.”Adrian sat on the other side of the island, the sleeves of hi

  • The Billionaire's Regret   Please Listen

    I lowered my hands from my face.Approval.My daughter, a mini dictator with cheeks like milk bread, needed approval for something that most likely involved an expensive coat, Bunny, and a bad decision.I stood up this time. Slowly. My knees felt a little strange, like I had been sitting too long in the wrong position, when clearly the wrong thing was the entire plot of my life.Near the small mirror on the wall, I stopped.My face was still put together.Damn it. I even looked good while the world was trying to bite my ankles. There was irony in that, and I would appreciate it later, after I finished not falling apart.I touched my hair, smoothing down one loose strand. Unnecessary. But my hands needed some small job that didn’t involve destroying the future.I left the phone on the bed.Then I went back and picked it up.No.I stared at the thing for a few seconds, then opened my chat with Adrian.His last message was still there.[I’ll send the flight details later.]The cursor bli

  • The Billionaire's Regret   The Things He Knows, The Things He Doesn’t

    The phone screen went dark.Just like that.One second, Adrian was still there, his voice still warm in my ear, too calm for a life that was slowly turning into a family crime archive. The next second, all that remained was my reflection in the small black glass of the phone: green eyes that looked too large, lips with lipstick still perfectly in place, and the expression of a woman who, at a glance, could have been thinking about dinner.Excellent.At last, one useful Belsky aristocratic talent: looking as if I were choosing wine while actually watching the house burn from the inside.I lowered the phone to my side.“Daddy, no, Bunny needs to see the ocean too! She has civil rights!”From behind the glass door, Poppy’s voice burst across the deck again.Sebastian answered, lower, almost swallowed by the wind. I couldn’t catch the words, but his tone sounded like that of a grown man who had just realized he was losing an argument to a four-year-old and a cloth rabbit.Damn it.Even fr

  • The Billionaire's Regret   You Were Too Kind, So I Lied Softer

    “Don’t be too good,” I said.“Why?”“It makes you hard to hate.”“I’m not applying for the position of enemy.”“Sometimes it’s easier that way.”“I know.”Those two words were too calm.Too understanding.Too Adrian.“Mommy! I have a coat and authority!” Poppy shouted from outside.I closed my eyes.Adrian heard.This time, he laughed. Softly, genuinely, but there was still something beneath it. “A coat?”I pressed the bridge of my nose. “Don’t ask.”“Sebastian bought her a coat?”“A captain coat.”“Of course.”“With gold buttons.”“Of course.”“And an anchor emblem.”“Of course.”“Don’t sound too understanding. I’m close to suing this yacht.”“Does she like it?”“She has already declared herself official.”Adrian laughed again, but this time more softly. “I want to see her.”I stood and walked to the glass door, close enough to look out without opening it. Poppy was standing on the deck, both hands on her hips, the navy coat fluttering slightly in the wind, the oversized sunglasses n
