All Chapters of The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Evelyn's POVIt wasn't until I noticed how dark it had gotten outside that I realized I'd pretty much laid in bed all day after Adrian left. To be fair, it wasn't like I had anything else to do outside of being angry at my husband for, once again, showing his favoritism towards Bianca. And just when I thought I was starting to gain some hope…I sat up in the bed and gripped my sheets as hurt and frustration began to claw at the old wounds I was trying so hard to heal from. I couldn't tell if I wanted to scream, cry, or both. A soft knock came at the door and pulled me from my spiraling thoughts. Too bad I wanted to be left alone, so I didn't answer to whoever was on the other side."Mrs. Langston…?" A familiar voice came from the other side. "May I come in? I wanted to talk to you, if that's alright."I sighed, but felt my shoulders relax. "Come in."Hilda stepped through and closed my door gently. With a respectful bow of her head, she gave me a small smile. "I wanted to come check u

Evelyn's POVTime slowed to an agonizing crawl as I stood there and watched Adrian and Bianca be so close with one another. It was like my world was being turned upside down again. Whatever hope I had for our marriage was dwindling away even more.I had to force myself away from the scene as I threw myself onto the bed. Not long after, footsteps approached the room so I pretended to fall asleep.The door opened gently and the scent of Adrian's cologne wafted into the room. He shuffled a few times, presumably took off some of his clothing, and not long after the bed sank with the added weight of him on it.I held my breath, not wanting to arouse his suspicions. The last thing I needed was to confront him about what I had just seen. I just wanted the nightmare to end.But unexpectedly, Adrian wrapped his arms around me. His hold was gentle, but firm; close, and reassuring. It was the kind of hold that told me everything was going to be okay—that we were going to get through it together.

Evelyn's POV"Oh, Evelyn, not even Adrian can save you from the truth." Bianca's words were dripping with sarcasm so thick that I was surprised she hadn't choked on them yet. "It'd be a lot easier if you'd just admit to your wrongdoings so we could all move on.""That's ENOUGH!" I snapped back. "I'm tired of this runaround with you! You know damn well that I had nothing to do with your jewelry getting stolen, and it's laughable that you're blaming me instead of coming clean about this whole charade!""How about we both calm down." Adrian suggested. "Pointing fingers at each other isn't going to settle the matter at hand. Regardless of who did it, someone needs to take punishment, and there needs to be a solution.""I HAVE a solution. Yet, instead of showing any kind of trust in me to try and handle things, you've shown me the opposite. Now you think I'm nothing more than a conspirator in some thieving ploy to steal from Bianca!" I narrowed my eyes at him. "I swear… It's like you don't

Adrian's POVIf this were an actual war, I would've surrendered a long time ago. The silence between Evelyn and I stretched on for about a week at this point, and I was completely miserable. This bore the equivalent of being tortured. Or was I being too dramatic? Either way, I hated every single second of this, and all I wanted was to hear Evelyn say SOMETHING to me.At this point, I wouldn't have cared if it was just to tell me that the mail was here. I missed Evelyn's voice, but I also just missed her.I tried breaking the walls that she'd built between us, but they were so much sturdier than I thought them to be. Little comments here and there, a compliment or two… It all fell on deaf ears.Then I tried a little harder—ordering her favorite coffee, cooking her favorite meal, buying a new pair of shoes she told me she liked in passing…Nothing.No head nod, no glance in my direction, nothing…It was like I didn't exist to her.I ended up having to postpone the investor meeting abou

Evelyn's POVWell, today was the day of the investor meeting. Zane's inheritance was to be discussed in length with the entire Langston family with the shareholders also present. To make things less business-like and formal, they decided to hold a social banquet for business partners and socialites to attend as a way to break the ice.Given the circumstances, I wasn't exactly in the mood to play trophy wife out in public.I took a deep breath to steel my nerves before walking into the spacious venue. Just ahead of me, I spotted Adrian and Bianca waiting for me, but before I could call out to either of them, my phone rang.It was Nathan."Hello?" I answered in a puzzled manner."Good afternoon, Evelyn." He greeted me warmly. "I hope I haven't gotten you at a bad time?""Not necessarily, although I'm not entirely available to talk." I peaked around the corner and still saw Adrian and Bianca standing there."Oh, then let me just say what I need to say and then I'll let you go." He chuckle
