The Mistake He Regrets. Chapter Nineteen.
"This is bullshit!" Declan's voice thundered through the boardroom.The Marketing Director stood at the front beside the projector screen, his presentation still frozen on the last slide. The proposal he'd spent weeks preparing displayed behind him.His assistant remained rooted beside him, laptop still open in her hands.Silence settled heavily over the room.No one dared to move. No one interrupted.No one even breathed too loudly."What the hell is this?" Declan continued. "You've had two months. Two months, and this is the best you could come up with?"Bene looked up from the laptop in front of him, momentarily pausing as he typed down the meeting notes.He sighed inwardly.Compared to some of the campaign proposals they'd rejected in the past, this wasn't even bad.The concept suited the project.It appealed to the target consumer market.In fact, the entire presentation had been almost flawless.But that didn't seem to matter anymore.This was what the company had been dealing w

"Congratulations. You're officially free," Jade laughed.The automatic glass doors slid open.Warm sunlight spilled across the hospital entrance as Elysia stepped outside for the first time in days.She paused for a moment, inhaling deeply before slowly letting the breath leave her lungs.For the first time in five years, she felt free.She felt genuinely happy to be exactly where she was, with the people beside her.Almost absentmindedly, her hand drifted to her stomach.It was still flat, but touching it had already become a habit."Careful now," her mother reminded gently.She had arrived a few minutes after the news bulletin announcing that the Windsors had offered a reward for information leading to Elysia's whereabouts."I'm fine, Mom..." Elysia groaned, unable to hide the amusement in her voice.Ever since she'd told her mother about the pregnancy, she'd been treated like she might shatter if someone looked at her too hard.Then again...Compared to what her grandmother would h

Elysia opened her eyes to the morning sunlight streaming through the open curtains, swaying gently in the breeze.She slowly sat up.The doctor had told them the previous day that she would be discharged today.Her mother and Jade had insisted on staying the night, but after Kai assured them he'd take care of her, they had left without much argument.Jade, of course, had flashed her that ridiculous heart-eyes look before walking out the door.A small yawn escaped Elysia as her gaze drifted to Kai.He was still asleep.Even in sleep, his brows were furrowed, as though something weighed heavily on his mind.He had spent the entire night making sure she was comfortable, barely closing his own eyes.He was slumped in the chair beside her bed, one elbow resting on the mattress while his head leaned against his forearm.She reached out and gently smoothed the crease between his brows.He stirred lightly, his hand instinctively catching her wrist.His eyes opened a fraction. For a second, he

The heart monitor beside him beeped steadily while the IV continued dripping into his arm.Declan lay restlessly in the hospital bed, his head moving weakly from side to side. A light sheen of sweat covered his forehead, his brows drawn into a deep frown as faint murmurs escaped his lips.“...Elysia...”Asher frowned.The doctors had told him Declan had developed a high fever from exhaustion. Days of little sleep and constant stress had finally caught up with him.To make matters worse, he had consumed alcohol on an empty stomach, only worsening his condition.Asher looked at his friend. It felt like Declan was trapped in some kind of nightmare.This was the third time since they had brought him to the hospital that he had whispered Elysia's name in his unconscious state. "Victoria is not another woman."The words left his lips as the world around him shifted.Suddenly, he was back at the dining table from a few days ago."Don't act like you don't know what this is... You're only my
The Mistake He Regrets. Chapter Fifteen.
“Shit,” Declan cursed, his voice rising slightly.Then, as if catching himself, he immediately lowered it and glanced toward Victoria.His only lead to finding Elysia.Dead.Just like that.Why did it feel like it wasn't a coincidence?And what do you think would happen if he finds out?His uncle's words from earlier echoed in his mind.Did Daniel know something about this?But then again, his uncle and the St. Laurent family's former gardener, Javier Santiago, shouldn't have had any connection to each other.As far as Declan knew, they had never even met.Daniel Windsor moved in circles far above men like Javier.One belonged among powerful businessmen and politicians.The other had spent most of his life working for a single family.So who would want Javier Santiago dead badly enough to silence him?It couldn't be a coincidence.Not now. At this particular time?Not after learning he had been at the house before the fire.And what reason would Javier have for setting fire to his hom

Daniel stared at Declan for a moment. His smile slipped briefly before settling back into place.“Come on, son. We’re all family after all,” Daniel laughed.The sound was forced. Everyone in the room could hear it.Declan raised a brow.Suspicious or not, Daniel had been the only person in the family who tried convincing his parents to let him marry Victoria all those years ago.“I know how much you love her,” Daniel continued. “I came as soon as I heard about the fire.”It sounded like concern.Yet Declan couldn't help noticing what was missing.Daniel hadn't asked about Elysia.Not once.He had come straight to the hospital. He hadn't called Declan beforehand. And now he was here, hovering over Victoria's bed like her wellbeing mattered more than anyone else's.On the surface, it all made sense.But after everything that had happened in the last few hours, suspicion came far too easily.“Declan, Uncle Daniel is like a father to me,” Victoria said softly.Before now, Declan wouldn't

"I've already filed for a divorce," Elysia finally said with a sigh.Kai's attention snapped to her.She didn't see the slight widening of his eyes.Her gaze remained fixed on the window, on the trees swaying gently in the breeze outside."What?" Nicole stared at her.Genuine shock flashed across h
The Mistake He Regrets. Chapter four.
“What’s that?” Declan asked.Elysia didn’t answer immediately. She slowly stepped back down the stairs and bent to pick up the paper, her movements calm and controlled.Panic would only draw suspicion, and right now that was the one thing she couldn’t afford.She slipped the folded paper back into

“Are you sure you want to go through with the procedure, Mrs Windsor?” the doctor asked.Elysia sat stiffly in the chair, fingers locked tightly in her lap to keep them from shaking. Jade sat beside her, watching her with growing concern.“Elysia… are you sick?” Jade asked softly, unable to hold it
The Mistake He Regrets. Chapter two.
It came back to her in flashes—sharp, unwanted and cruel.Elysia stumbled up the stairs, gripping the railing so hard her fingers ached, her chest tightening like something inside her was breaking all over again.She had been on the phone earlier that evening with her mother.“Honey, it’s time to l
