บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Adrian's POVI'm pretty sure I broke several laws trying to rush to the hospital, but I didn't care. I needed to find out the truth. I let my feet carry me to the Emergency Department lobby where rows of other people sat, and that's where I spotted the secretary sitting at the desk..When I looked down at her, something in my throat hitched. Suddenly, it was hard to speak. I didn't want to verbalize that I was looking for my wife, because I honestly still wasn't prepared to potentially be hit with the news that she was here. I didn't want to believe that she had gotten hurt."May I help you, sir?" The secretary gave me a puzzled, tired look."U-uh, yes. I'm looking for a patient by the name of Evelyn Langston." I swallowed the lump in my throat that threatened to form. "I-I was told that she was involved in a car accident."The secretary nodded and clicked away at her keyboard and mouse. Names of people I couldn't read whizzed past her vision in the reflection of her glasses, but then

Evelyn's POVI woke up the next morning feeling worse than I did yesterday now that the weight of reality had its time to settle. Not only was my marriage about to dissolve, but I'd also lost my baby… The sweet angel that I would never get to hold.I cradled my stomach and lamented its emptiness. They didn't deserve this violent death, but maybe it was for the best that they hadn't been born to a broken home. I could make peace with the fact that they would never have to find out the truth of what their father was…A hypocrite. A liar. A cheater.Before I could sink further into my own grief, a soft knock came at the door. For a moment, it puzzled me. If it was Mila, she normally would've just walked in. Was there someone else at the door?"Evelyn?" A familiar voice called out. "May I come in?""N-Nathan?" I called out. What on Earth was he doing here? "Y-yes, you can come in."Nathan opened and closed the door behind him softly. As he came to sit next to me, he gently sat down a plast

Bianca's POVWinning was going to be inevitable. No matter how hard Evelyn wanted to fight it—to fight me—she had to have known she wasn't going to come out on top. And now what did she get for all her efforts? Rotting away in a hospital bed while I enjoyed the pampering her butlers and her husband have been giving me? Did she truly think her meager existence compared to mine? The poor widow? The treasured sister-in-law?As my finger grazed the fine silk, cashmere, and high-end cotton, I couldn't stop the curious thoughts from running rampant in my mind. Poor Evelyn… I wondered if she thought that being married to someone powerful made her think she was powerful. Such naive thinking… To think proximity to power meant she knew how to wield it.Power wasn't some flimsy little force meant to be handled by anyone.It was a beast; something otherworldly.The only people who could tame it were those who weren't afraid of taking risks. Those who weren't afraid to put their ambitions first wou

Evelyn's POVZane? Adrian's older brother? He was supposed to have been dead! How could he be standing here before us looking so alive like nothing had happened? There weren't even any scars on his face, and he didn't even walk with a limp!No one could believe that the former Langston heir was standing in front of us. How long had he been back for? How come he didn't tell anyone? What was his plan now?Whispers and murmurs began to stir within the crowd, and that was when Bianca, in all of her dramatic glory, let out an ear-splitting shriek."He's a ghost!" Her face had gone pale as she shook her head. "This can't be real!" Genuine confusion, with a hint of fear, contorted her features.Adrian crossed the distance in two long strides and pulled Zane in for a hug. "Zane... It's you! I can't believe it's you! I have so many questions!" Genuine shock and happiness lifted his expression.Yet, Zane looked quite the opposite. He didn't seem to be all too eager to be back—or at the very leas

Evelyn's POVThe banquet ended with everyone saying their goodbye's to Zane and congratulating him on his return. Overall, it seemed like everyone was genuinely happy that he survived, and were enthused about his future goals.I'd be lying to myself if I said I wasn't interested, too. It seemed like he had no intentions of resuming his role as heir to the Langston family and fortune. And now with his involvement in Nathan's company… Was he looking to build something new? Something bigger? Would that not strain his relationship with his family?"I don't know… I don't trust him," Nathan said warily. "Why wouldn't he want to take on his family business again? The Langstons are easily one of the richest families in New York alone. Something has to be up…""Maybe he wants a fresh start," I said and shrugged my shoulders. "He went through something traumatic with that plane crash, and maybe it opened a different perspective for him.""That's some naive thinking, even for you."I crossed my a
