The Mistake He Regrets. Chapter Thirteen.
“You stupid fool.”Alistair Windsor’s voice thundered across the room.Declan stood quietly in the middle of the large foyer while his father lashed into him.“How hard is it to protect one woman? How hard?!” his father roared.“Alistair…” his mother called quietly.They had spoken to Elysia’s mother only a few minutes ago.Eleanor had hoped Elysia was with her mother. That she had left the house and gone there before the fire broke out.But the call hadn't gone the way they'd hoped.The media outlets had already carried news of the fire, and they couldn't imagine what would happen if they got wind that their daughter-in-law had gone missing in the fire when everyone else had made it out.“It’s not like I set fire to my own house, Father,” Declan retorted.That seemed to infuriate his father even more. His hand connected sharply with Declan’s cheek, the sound echoing through the foyer.Declan stumbled back, his eyes widening in shock.Eleanor gasped and rushed to her son.“Enough, Ali

“How the hell did he find you?” Jade asked immediately after she heard Kai’s footsteps fade down the hallway. She had known Elysia since seventh grade. Known Kai just as long too—the quiet boy who used to follow her best friend everywhere without saying much. At one point, she had even been jealous of him. Jealous that he seemed to take up so much space in Elysia’s world without ever trying. “I don’t know,” Elysia said, shaking her head slightly. Even as she said it, it bothered her. The lack of clarity. The gap between what had happened and what she still didn’t understand. But this didn’t feel like the time to push for answers about Kai. “I called his old line,” she added with a small frown. “I thought I was calling my emergency contact.” Jade’s brows pulled together instantly. “I am supposed to be your emergency contact, Elys,” she said, quieter now. It wasn’t anger in her voice. Not really. Just disbelief. Because she had been Elysia’s emergency contact for th

"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 her face.Jade remained silent.Unlike Nicole, she wasn't surprised.Ever since she'd dropped Elysia off at the Windsor mansion the previous evening, something had felt wrong.She couldn't explain it.Maybe it had been the look in Elysia's eyes.Maybe it had been the exhaustion she seemed to carry everywhere these days.Or maybe Jade had simply known her best friend too well.So no, she wasn't shocked.If anything, the overwhelming emotion she felt was relief.Relief that Elysia had finally stopped trying. Relief that she had finally chosen herself.Relief that this time, she wasn't making excuses for Declan Windsor.“I've already asked Mr. Ansley to draft up the divorce agreement,” Elysia sa

Kai turned.He stared at her for a moment before answering."You called my old number," he said.Elysia frowned.For a few seconds, neither of them spoke.When his phone had rung that night and her name had flashed across the screen, he'd genuinely thought he was imagining it.At first, he'd wondered if she'd called him by mistake. If she'd been trying to reach someone else.Or if, after all these years, she had actually intended to call him.He'd kept the number. His old number.Truthfully, he didn't even know why.Maybe because changing it had never seemed necessary.Or maybe because a small part of him had never wanted to let go of anything connected to her.Whatever the reason, he had been genuinely surprised when he saw her name appear on the screen.Even more surprised that she still had the number.Elysia looked away.It was the first time since she'd woken up that she did that—looked away first."I'm sorry," she muttered.Kai frowned slightly.Sorry?He wasn't sure what she wa

Elysia tried to open her eyes but for a moment, her eyelids seemed too heavy, too stubborn.She could hear voices, distant then muffled, like she was underwater. Then a small ringing in her head made her force her eyes open with a gasp.The last thing she remembered was the smoke, the orange glow outside her door and that she couldn't breathe.Her eyes darted around immediately.White ceiling. White walls. The faint smell of antiseptic.A hospital.Panic seized her chest.Her hand immediately flew to her stomach.She didn't know why that was the first thing she thought about. Maybe because it had become impossible not to think about it these past few days.Her baby.Her throat tightened.She pushed herself up too quickly and instantly regretted it when dizziness washed over her."Elysia? You're awake."Elysia froze at the sound of the voice.The voice sounded familiar. Very familiar.But that was impossible.Her head snapped towards the direction of the voice and Elysia just stared in

What the hell was this doing here?An abortion consent form?Declan stared down at the paper in his hand, his brows pulling together.His mind immediately flashed back to earlier that evening.Elysia standing at the top of the staircase.The piece of paper that had slipped from her bag and rolled down the steps.He remembered asking about it.He remembered Elysia quietly picking it up and telling him it was nothing.At the time, he hadn't thought much about it. In fact, he hadn't thought about it at all.There had been no curiosity. No concern. No reason to question her further.He had simply moved on.Now, staring at the abortion consent form in his hand, Declan found himself wondering if that had been the very same paper as realization slowly began to settle over him.His eyes widened slightly.Suddenly, the white object protruding from beneath the debris near the cabinet didn't seem so insignificant anymore.Still holding the consent form, Declan crossed the bathroom and bent down.

“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

Elysia’s hand trembled slightly as she stared at the pregnancy test in her hand. Her breathing hitched the moment she saw it.Two red lines stared back at her.Positive.She shuddered, exhaling a breath she hadn’t even realized she’d been holding since she’d picked the thing up from the bathroom co

Declan frowned as he stared at the footage. For several moments, neither he nor Bene spoke. The security camera showed the upstairs hallway outside Elysia's bedroom. Victoria appeared on the screen a few seconds later. She walked directly toward Elysia's room before stopping outside the door. Dec

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
