The Untouchable Heiress He Regrets Losing のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Leo’s POV I stiffened. I let go of Zara’s hands before I even realized it. A memory, instinct, something I hadn’t felt in years surged through me I don’t know why I was still taken aback by the sight of Selene. Tall and pretty with striking features. She was my girlfriend when I was a teenager, and like many other feelings and experiences from my childhood, the thought of her still lingered. No. It wasn’t love. I didn’t know what to call it. But it’s probably because it was one of those things that made me feel like a child again. After all, those were my favorite times. That was when I had something close to a family. A father and a mother, living together happily. A mother who sang me to bed and a father who played sports with me. That was now a distant memory. As a result, I wasn’t exactly the same when I came across anything or anyone from my childhood. I

Zara’s POV As I leaned back in my chair, I couldn’t help but think of the happenings of the day. Zane hadn’t changed one bit. He still had so much ego that he wrapped himself in like armor. I thought seeing me and all I have become would make him beg forgiveness after realizing the evil he did. Rather, he chose to validate it with silly excuses. Weak and pathetic ones. Each word he let out fanned the flames of vengeance brewing in me. He has succeeded in strengthening my resolve to destroy him the more. He had better watch out for this version of me because she would stop at nothing to make sure everything he built on greed and evil comes crumbling down. It was game over for him. No second chances. But something else couldn’t leave my mind. There was no denying that Leo looked like a knight in shining armor as he defended me from Zane. He looked so heroic and pow

Zara’s POV I paced back and forth around the house that was now supposedly ours. Leo’s and mine. I thought my father was joking when he called me over, saying he had a surprise for me. I thought he got me a little something because I returned to Smith Holdings. “I have a surprise for you, Zara!” he had said with a voice bubbling with excitement. I imagined him to be glowing with the joy of being a generous father. He gave me an address that led me here. I didn’t know what to expect, but I couldn’t have considered it to be a house. My father had a flair for luxury, so he definitely didn’t hold back here. Luxury furniture in shadows of ivory and charcoal, photo frames hanging on the wall, waiting to be filled with smiling photos and a neatly furnished living room. The place was glowing and designed to scream–perfect life, perfect couple. Except that Leo and I weren’t. There was just one big bedroom. My father must have done this purposely to strengthen our bond. “You’ll soon be gett

Elora’s POV I slammed the door of the study behind me, my heart pounding loudly in my chest, and my head spinning in fear and anxiety. I walked briskly back to my room, nearly tripping over the edge of the rug as I rushed. As I got into the room, I looked around to be sure I was alone, even though it was obvious I was. The air around me felt heavy and thick, like the walls were closing in on me. I twisted the door knob with my trembling hands then spun around. I couldn’t take the risk. The secret I’ve given my entire life to protecting must not come out. This was not the time to be careless. Not when everything I’ve built is being threatened. “You are so close to being found out”, Mason said on the call. Mason was my high school lover who knew me before I assumed this status and position. He was there for me all the time and understood the sacrifices I had to make and why. I had cut the call on Mason because Zane was there. Zane was the last person who should find out my secret.

Leo’s POV The door slammed behind me harder than I meant it to. I was filled with rage. The air outside hit my face, but it was not enough to cool my boiling temper. I couldn’t shake the look on Zara’s face at my reaction, but I also couldn’t ignore the fact that I was disappointed she would go that far. But as I arrived back at my penthouse, I didn’t know exactly what I was feeling. Feelings of whether I overreacted or whether it was completely valid. Truth be told, I hadn’t told Zara enough about myself but I deserve to draw that line between us. We just have a simple alliance between us anyway. I didn’t understand why she would go as far as doing a background check on me. Was I the enemy? What was she hoping to find out? Was I like her ex-husband? Or was this because of Selene? I already told her Selene was just someone from my past, but why didn’t she trust my words? She only succeeded in making me relive some of my painful memories. My father, Brad Wesley, always tre
