*Vivienne*

The twin engines hummed a steady, heavy tune through the cargo bay wall.

Fourteen hours over the Pacific Ocean had turned the air inside the plane cold and dry. Outside the small, round glass window, the vast dark water slowly gave way to a dense sea of twinkling city lights under a warm, humid sky.

Singapore.

Dominic sat on a wooden crate beside me, his long legs stretched across the steel floorboards. He hadn't slept a single minute. His dark eyes were fixed on the tactical map Dir

  • The CEO Beautiful Regret    Chapter 121: The Morning After

    *Vivienne*The sun came up over the calm lake, casting bright golden light across the cabin porch.The federal trucks had left two hours ago. The tire tracks in the mud were drying out in the crisp morning air. The broken glass on the living room rug was swept up into a cardboard box near the front door.Everything looked quiet. Everything felt completely still.Dominic stood near the edge of the wooden porch, his dark boots resting right on the top step. His broad shoulders were still braced tight, his eyes scanning the pine trees across the lane. His hand was resting lightly on his leather belt near his sidearm.I walked out through the broken oak door, holding two warm metal mugs of black coffee. The steam rose up into the cold air."Dominic," I said softly, stepping up beside his broad frame.He didn't turn his head immediately. His dark eyes stayed fixed on the dark shadows under the high trees. But his left arm reached out instinctively, his broad palm catching my hip, pulling m

  • The CEO Beautiful Regret    Chapter 120: The Midnight Flight

    *Vivienne*The black federal SUV tore down the frozen highway at eighty miles an hour.Snow slammed against the windshield in heavy, blinding gusts. Outside, the dark Alaskan forest blurred past like a wall of black shadows. Inside, the heater roared, but the air was thick with the sharp smell of smoke, burnt oil, and leather.Dominic sat right beside me in the middle row. He hadn't unclasped his left hand from mine since we ran from the burning cabin. His knuckles were raw and scraped, covered in black soot, but his grip was warm and steady."How far to the runway?" Dominic asked, his voice low and gravelly.Director Vance sat in the front passenger seat, her head turned toward us. Her face was pale under the red dash lights."Three miles," Director Vance said, holding her tactical radio tight. "The cargo plane is on the tarmac with its engines running. My team in Anchorage set up a clean flight path straight across the Pacific.""Is Eleanor’s name on the hangar manifest?" I asked, m

  • The CEO Beautiful Regret    Chapter 119: The Silent Signal

    *Vivienne*The sun dipped behind the dark mountain ridge, turning the quiet lake a deep, bloody red.Inside the cabin, the air was warm and smelled of cedar wood and dry stove heat.Dominic sat on the edge of the heavy wooden bed, his dark shirt unbuttoned at the neck, his large hands resting on his knees. His eyes were closed, his breathing slow and heavy for the first time in days.I stood near the dresser, brushing my hair in front of the small mirror. Through the open bedroom door, I could hear the faint sound of Marcus laughing softly in the living room while Martha set plates on the table.It was a normal sound. A human sound.I set the brush down, turned around, and walked over to the bed. I climbed onto the mattress, sitting cross-legged right beside Dominic's hip.Dominic opened his dark eyes instantly. The sharp alertness was still there, but as his eyes found my face, the tension left his shoulders. He reached out, his big hand wrapping around my waist, pulling my body flus

  • The CEO Beautiful Regret     Chapter 118: The Unbroken Quiet

    *Vivienne*The quiet mountain air held the sweet smell of fresh pine and damp earth.Dominic stood on the edge of the lake dock, his broad shoulders framed against the blue water. His hands were tucked deep into his dark coat pockets. He wasn't watching the lake. His dark eyes were fixed on the far gravel curve of the access road where the heavy tire tracks ended.I walked down the wooden steps from the cabin, my boots making a soft *thud-thud* against the cedar planks. The morning sun was warm on my skin, but the cold air off the water made me shiver.Dominic didn't turn his head, but his whole body shifted the second my foot hit the dock. He pulled his right hand from his pocket and reached out sideways without looking.I slid my fingers straight into his. His hand was warm, rough, and solid as rock. He pulled me close, tucking my hip right against his side."You should be inside resting," Dominic rasped, his voice low and deep in his chest."I can't sleep in an empty room, Dominic,

  • The CEO Beautiful Regret    Chapter 117: The Shadow on the Lake

    *Vivienne*The morning sun reflected off the calm water like a flat sheet of glass.Inside the cabin, the smell of fresh coffee filled the warm kitchen. Dominic stood by the front window, his heavy shoulders blocking the light, his dark eyes watching the quiet treeline across the lake.I walked up behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist and pressing my face against his broad back. His body was warm, but his muscles were tight as steel coils."Dominic," I whispered, feeling the fast rise and fall of his chest. "The coffee is ready."Dominic didn't turn around right away. His big hand came down, locking over mine at his hip, his thumb pressing into my skin."A black boat crossed the north channel ten minutes ago, Vivienne," he rasped, his voice low and dangerous.My heart shot straight into my throat. The warm morning suddenly felt ice cold."Martha said the lake was clear," I gasped, leaning around his arm to look out the glass pane."Martha checked the road," Dominic said flatly

  • The CEO Beautiful Regret    Chapter 116: The Final Cabin

    *Vivienne*The heavy wheels hit the runway with a smooth, quiet glide.The long flight across the ocean was finished. Outside the small window, the quiet green hills of Oregon stretched under a cool, foggy morning sky. The sun was just rising over the pine trees, throwing soft yellow light across the wet grass.Dominic didn't wait for the plane to stop moving completely. He unbuckled his belt, stood up in the narrow aisle, and pulled me up into his arms. His face was pale from lack of sleep, but his dark eyes were wide, clear, and full of a deep, calm peace I had never seen before."We're home, Vivienne," he whispered, his big hand wrapping around the back of my neck, pulling my forehead against his collar."Home," I repeated, my fingers locking into his jacket sleeve.A sleek black truck was waiting at the far end of the private runway, its engine idling silently in the fresh morning air. Martha stood beside the open driver’s door, holding a steaming metal cup of black coffee in her
