Lahat ng Kabanata ng Regrets Come Too Late: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

Tommy hesitated for a moment when Sierra asked him the question.He wanted to lie and say Michael was the one who had brought her home. But if even he lied to his mom, then he wouldn't deserve to be her favorite son anymore."What's wrong?" Sierra noticed the change in his expression. "Was it not Nicholas?"Tommy nodded his small head.Sierra felt a little nervous. "Then who was it?"Tommy lifted his head and looked at her, the struggle apparent in his eyes. After thinking it over again and again, he still told the truth. "Dad did."Sierra went still."Dad changed your clothes too," Tommy said, deciding to tell her everything. "He also took off your makeup, washed your face, and wiped you down."Sierra's expression froze.It wasn't that hard to guess what had happened, but hearing it with her own ears still made things feel complicated. The way John wanted her and Pamela to both stay in his life made her hate him. It was disgusting and made her sick. Yet, he kept in mind e

Lucas stood on the street outside the bar. He was about to hail a cab and go settle the score with Sierra when he suddenly remembered that he didn't even know where she lived.The moment that thought crossed his mind, a text popped up on his phone. [Sierra Bell lives in Building 1, unit 1802, Maple Residences, and works at Origin Games.]Lucas frowned.[Who are you?]No answer came.Whether the message was true or not, he didn't care. He pulled out what little cash was left in his wallet, stopped a cab, and headed straight for Sierra's neighborhood. The longer the ride took, the angrier he became.What had happened that day replayed clearly in his mind.If it hadn't been for that brat, he would never have ended up targeted by John.The moment he got into the cab, the bar manager reported it to Kenneth. Then, he dutifully informed John in turn and added, "Lucas just left the bar. He's probably going to find Sierra.""You gave him Sierra's address?" John asked."No. You tol

John's gaze seemed able to see through everything, straight into the heart of it all.Pamela forced a smile under the immense pressure. "How would I know?""I don't want something like this to happen a second time. Sierra's my wife and Tommy's mother." From Pamela's reaction alone, it was enough for John to confirm his suspicion. "I made that very clear to you from the start."Pamela's eyes turned red. "It wasn't me.""If you want to go after anyone else, I'll help you regardless of whether you're right or wrong," John said, plainly and simply. "But not Sierra. Not her.""It really wasn't me! This has nothing to do with me!" Pamela felt as if a hand was squeezing her heart as she tried hard to defend herself. "You can check if you don't believe me."John looked at her tear-filled eyes, his tone slow and steady. "Do you really want me to investigate this?"Pamela paused.A chill seemed to run down her back for a split second."Did you take in what I just said?" John didn't pres

"We don't have one million in cash right now. Can we pay you in installments?" Nicholas asked Lucas with a perfectly sincere expression.Lucas straightened his back. "Of course.""Then, during this time, can you stop bothering Sierra? Don't come here to disturb her, and don't make a scene at her company. Let her live in peace for a while," Nicholas went on.Lucas was full of smug satisfaction. It never crossed his mind to wonder how Nicholas, who had just arrived, knew about him wanting to kick up a storm at Origin Games. "Fine," Lucas said condescendingly, as though he was doing someone a favor.Nicholas smiled. "Thank you.""When will the money be in my account?" Lucas relaxed a little as he thought about not having to wash glasses anymore. "I need it soon.""Anytime." Nicholas finally dropped his act. "I'm only wondering how much you want, because the amount will decide what sentence you get."Lucas froze. "What sentence?""Extortion," Nicholas said, spreading his hands an

Nicholas gave Holly a thumbs up. "As expected of you, Your Majesty!"Holly shot him a look and silently cursed his uselessness under her breath. If Kenneth and John hadn't teamed up at the hotel last time to set Sierra up, she wouldn't have treated Kenneth so coldly. They had gone too far.She would remember it for a lifetime."How did you get back? I thought you said your dad took your passport?" Nicholas asked. They hadn't met up for a while, and all they had talked about was how Sierra had been doing."Who knows what he's thinking. He suddenly had someone give me my passport back," Holly said, walking to the window and looking at the cars speeding past. "Maybe he finally found his conscience? Maybe he's afraid I hold a grudge? Or maybe it's something completely different."Nicholas's eyes shifted slightly.He had a feeling John was probably involved.If Holly's father had really worried about any of those things, he wouldn't have tricked her into going abroad in the first
