All Chapters of REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE : Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

SARA'S POVDerek looked around briefly and the his gaze returned to me. When he spoke again, his voice was quieter. "You'll need the energy."I scoffed.Not in disbelief nor incredulity but because I'd expected as much from him.His words shouldn't have mattered or meant anything to me, since I already knew, but it did.I held out my palm, gesticulating, "Why even do any of this?"Before now, I had been wondering but now, I knew. There was no need to ask anyone. We were the only two people in here, so it was obvious who had done all of the things I noticed in the morning, the things I thought someone had done with me in mind, to provide me with ease.But the person who had done that was Derek and one thing I knew clearly, was that Derek wouldn't ever do anything with me in mind.Okay, maybe the one thing he'd done that way was when he bought me the bracelet I was wearing.My gaze dropped to my wrist subconsciously, only for me to realise that they were bare.The bracelet I had on was

SARA'S POVThe room sunk into quiet after Derek left but not my mind.The silence he left behind wasn't the peaceful kind but the smothering kind that made every thought reverberate too loudly in my head and brought me back to the day I'd suggested a divorce to him.That day, he'd walked out on me just like this, without giving me a proper response and even after going through it once, I didn't feel better.I sat there for a long while, staring blankly t the spot where he’d last stood while very of his word repeated in my head.It wasn't just his words that were replayed but every pause and every lack of response of his.Not once had he raised his voice at me but I somehow felt like it would have been better if he had.He hadn't denied anything either and thinking about it now, that was the worst part about the whole conversation.I snapped myself out of my daze eventually, and reached for my phone, scrolling back to the messages he'd left me.I hadn’t planned to call him back so soon

SARA’S POVI hadn’t planned to go looking for Freeman.I mean....How was I supposed to run into him if I wasn't even out and about?In fact, I hadn’t planned much of anything for that day. For the better half of the morning, after Derek left me in the room and headed to God knows where, I remained in bed, thinking, ruminating and just going over everything over and over again in my head.At first, I thought of calling Rina to tell her what was happening, hoping she could help me she'd more light and basically teach me how to react but decided against that when I recollected that Danielle was with her.Danielle overhearing our conversation was a risk I couldn't take. I didn't even know yet how to explain to get that I was getting a divorce from Derek, much less explain what I had experienced here in Vienna and what I had found out.I eventually didn't end up calling Rina and when my thoughts began to get crushing, I got out of bed, slipping my feets into the furry slippers next to the

THIRD PERSON'S POVPrisons have a particular smell.It’s not just disinfectant or concrete or the faint trace of rust from old bars.It was fear in its recycled and stale state, layered over time until it seeped through clothes and settled under skin. He noticed it the moment he stepped past the final checkpoint, even though he wants a stranger to places like this. He had visited detention centers, holding cells and Interrogation wings before now, an information that anyone would have found surprising about him.Laurent had been moved here quietly. There was no press nor spectacle. Everything had been kept under wraps and tucked away from the public's eyes which he agreed to, not for any other reason than to protect Sara's reputation.He adjusted the cuffs of his coat as he followed the guard down the corridor, his footsteps echoing too loudly in the narrow hall. Every step felt deliberate. Controlled.That was the only way he knew how to move when anger lived this close to the surf

THIRD PERSON'S POV Neither of them was expecting to see the other.They stood a couple of feets apart, staring at each other. Neither talked nor moved, they just stared at each other.Derek didn't think he would meet Alaric here, he had no intention of meeting up with him either. When Sara had confronted him last night, with the things she'd heard from Freeman, he knew it could only have been one person that opened her eyes to see the possibility and that person now stood before him."I didn't expect to see you here."It was Alaric who broke the silence first.Derek's brows raised. His gaze flicked over Alaric, scanning him from head to toe before he responded. "I didn't expect to see you either."Neither spoke of the reason they were there, but they both already seemed to be aware of each other's intention..The look in both of their gazes was meaningful too.After another long stretch of silence, Alaric spoke again. "How's Sara?"Derek's brows raised. He gave him a long lasting, pen
