The Mistake He Regrets. Chapter Thirty-eight.
"Are you okay?" Kai asked. "Do you want to go home instead?"Elysia leaned back against the passenger seat and closed her eyes for a brief moment, trying to steady her breathing.What the hell had that been?Declan had completely snapped back there.She'd expected pleading. She'd expected begging.But never… What he'd done in there.For a moment, she'd genuinely been scared of him.She slowly opened her eyes and instinctively rested a hand over her stomach.She was still in her first trimester.The way he'd tightened his arms around her... the way he'd refused to let go… It had terrified her.But then again… Declan would always be Declan with his ridiculous self-righteousness."N-No..." Elysia shook her head lightly. "I'm fine. Let's just get to the hospital."Kai studied her for a second before giving a small nod.He turned his attention back to the road and started the engine."Wait..."Elysia reached out and gently wrapped her fingers around the wrist that was resting on the steeri

Elysia glanced over her shoulder as she stepped into the hotel lobby."I have a reservation under Windsor," she said.The front desk receptionist looked up at her with a bright, professional smile."Oh yes, of course. Your husband is already waiting for you inside," the young woman replied. "Second table on your left."Elysia nodded politely. "Thank you." She muttered and turned to leave."Enjoy your evening at Heaven's Heather," the receptionist called after her.Husband...That would all be over soon.Her fingers tightened around the copy of the divorce papers Mr. Ansley had delivered to her that morning.She walked into the restaurant, the soft fabric of her wine-coloured satin dress swaying gently around her legs.The slight curve of her stomach showed beneath the dress.It wasn't obvious yet but it was there.Her eyes slowly swept across the restaurant before settling on Declan.He was already seated at the reserved table, his phone resting in one hand, wearing that same effortl

"Move out of the way!"The thug barked as he violently shoved a middle-aged man aside.The man stumbled forward, barely managing to keep himself from crashing onto the pavement.He didn't even look back.Right now… That wasn't his biggest problem.His trembling fingers hurriedly dialed the same number again as his eyes darted nervously over his shoulder every few seconds.Two men dressed in black were following him from a distance.Not too close. Not too far.Close enough to make sure he couldn't escape."Pick up... please pick up..." he muttered under his breath.His fingers shook so badly that he almost dropped the phone.He had only returned to the city a few hours ago.After six long years… Six years of hiding.Six years ago, he'd witnessed a brutal murder.He hadn't stayed long enough to become the next victim.He'd run.Run to protect himself. Run to protect his little boy.Because he knew… Once they realized he'd seen everything...They would come for him too.The call rang onc

“You need to bring Elysia home soon.”Alistair's voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable urgency beneath it.Declan simply stared at his father.His mind wasn't even in the study.It was still back in that hospital bathroom.Back to the tears in Elysia's eyes.Why did you have to wait until I finally gave up?The question had been echoing in his head ever since.His phone vibrated inside his pocket.He ignored it.Alistair continued speaking as though he hadn't noticed.“If you don't bring your wife back soon... we're going to have a problem.”Declan slowly looked up.For the first time, he noticed something strange.Alistair Windsor… The man everyone feared.The man who never panicked.Actually looked... uneasy.It wasn't obvious. Most people would've missed it.But Declan knew his father well enough to notice the subtle tightening of his jaw and the impatience in his voice.Something wasn't right.If the head of the Windsor family was this anxious...Then wanting Elysia back w

“Oh my God.”Elysia clasped a hand over her mouth.She slowly stepped further into the room, her eyes darting between the two of them.“Ely... I—I can explain.” Jade stuttered shyly.Her face turned an embarrassing shade of crimson. She instinctively grabbed Nicholas's sleeve before hiding her face against his shoulder.“Are you guys...?” Elysia laughed, unable to hide the surprise in her voice.Jade slowly peeked at her through her fingers, her eyes widening slightly.She had expected Elysia to be hurt.Or betrayed.Or at the very least... offended that everyone had kept such a huge secret from her.Instead… She was laughing.“It's not her fault,” Nicholas spoke up calmly. “I was the one who asked her not to tell you yet.”“Well...” Jade quickly added, looking up at Elysia. “It was a mutual decision. We both agreed to keep it between us until we were ready.”Elysia folded her arms across her chest.“How long?”Jade bit down on her lower lip. “Three months.”“Three months?!” Elysia's

Elysia gently felt Kai's forehead, her brows knitting together with worry.He smiled, reached up and held her wrist."I'm fine," he said.In a way, Elysia was just like her mother, Nicole. Worrying too much. Caring too much.The women of the St. Laurent family were kind-hearted.Sometimes too kind-hearted for their own good."Mom and Camille will be back soon. They're going to bring you something healthy to eat," Elysia said as she finally sat back down.The sharp sting at her side returned the moment she settled into the chair. She winced, hoping Kai hadn't noticed.He frowned anyway."Are you okay?" he asked. "You should be the one getting some rest."Elysia shook her head."I'm fine."Her thoughts drifted back to the encounter in the bathroom with Declan.For a brief moment, she'd wanted to believe him. She'd wanted to believe he was genuinely remorseful and that every word he'd said had come from the bottom of his heart. But the moment he couldn't answer that one simple question,

“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

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
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
