All Chapters of She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Tristan’s POVBroken glass everywhere. The doors have not only been unlocked—they’ve been torn down. My desk is a mess. Pieces of paper. Folders. Files. Overturned chairs.I want to believe that this is some sort of a robbery.But I knew immediately the moment I entered that it’s not like that at all, because it’s not hard to miss the only thing that’s missing.My computer.The entire thing has been taken. It’s not broken lying on the floor. It’s gone. Even the cord that connects it to power has been taken, which means that whoever got it just scooped the entire thing up and left with it.“I’m so sorry, Mr. Blake,” my late-night security says. He pinches his own hands like he can’t believe what just happened. “I… I didn’t get the alert until I heard a commotion upstairs. By the time I got here, everything has already been messed up. I didn’t see anyone go in or come out. I don’t know how any of this happened! I’m so sorry!”He starts to shake, but I can’t bring myself to feel sorry fo

Elena’s POVThat night, I go home feeling… weirdly uplifted.I don’t know if it’s because I have a solution for the party and how to escape the scrutiny I know I will receive, or the fact that I agreed to a date with Alexander. All I know is that after this whole day—which is utter disaster in every way imaginable—I came out at the other end not feeling like a total wreck.My children are already brought home, and they’re waiting for me in the living room.“Mommy!” they both yell, running up to my arms as I crouch to hug them.I close my eyes, burying my face between them and peppering them with kisses. God, they’re so warm. So perfect. I can’t stand the thought of being taken away from them. Not by anyone, not even death.And it only now sinks in how close I got.I start to cry. I can’t help it. I held it together in front of Tristan and his parents, even Alexander. But seeing my children now makes me realize how precarious everything is. I almost got shot. And God knows where that b

Tristan’s POVMy hands start to shake. I go around the bed and check the computer, and sure enough, it’s the same exact one that I had at the office. Right down to the sticker that I told Ethan not to put.The funny thing is that it doesn’t even look like Diane made a real effort to hide it. It’s in plain view. I think that if I had the sick idea to look peek in from her window at this moment, I would’ve seen it.“She also has access to the main security cameras in the house,” Mira suddenly says, standing next to me. “They were turned off around the time of the break-in. That means she knew what she was doing when she snuck this in here.”It’s all plausible from that point of view. Because I didn’t see her last night, all night.The only thing that doesn’t make sense to me is why she would do this.“She has no reason to do this,” I say, shaking my head. “Diane has worked for me for many years. I get that she’s loyal to Elena, but what would Elena even do with this?”“Well, she has been

Tristan’s POV“Mira, come on!” I call after Mira, pushing through the crowd and trying hard not to lose her as she navigates her way inside the crowded mansion. “I know you can hear me. Can you just stop so we can talk?”Needless to say, she doesn’t do that. She just keeps swerving everywhere. I start to vaguely wonder how the hell my parents invited this many people and where on earth they got them from. They keep getting in the way, cutting through me. Cutting in front of me. Making Mira disappear.This time, I don’t even care. I just go faster, pushing everyone and anyone in front of me, until Mira runs into a dead-end.I pull her to the side, opening a door and blocking it so that she has nowhere to go.“I’m sorry that I have to do this, but we need to talk,” I say. “This has gone out of hand already—”“Yeah, because you can’t defend me.” Mira’s voice shakes. “You watched Elena and her boytoy insult me and you said nothing. Nothing! You made me look like an idiot!”I let out a hug

Elena’s POVSeeing the blood blooming from under Alexander’s shirt like a cursed flower changes something in me.Mira tries to go for more, but I’ve already snapped.I push her. Hard. Feeling a dark wave of satisfaction seeing her fly away from Alexander and land on the grass on her butt. She looks at me in complete outrage.“You bitch!” she yells at me, trying to get up.But I stand over her and grab her hair, making her stay still even though she’s clawing at my hands.Then, I deliver the hardest slap I can muster.The smacking sound fills the space, rendering everyone silent. They all just watch as Mira falls to the ground again, clutching her cheek and gasping. I can see a hint of blood on her lip. My hand is smarting from the impact.I know that I’m the one who’s coming out bad here, but I don’t care.I pick her right up from the ground and slap her again.“Elena!” Tristan calls out to me. “Stop it! Your sister is pregnant!”This time, even Alexander tries to intervene. Miraculou
