Semua Bab She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Third Person POV“The trap is set,” Elena says, watching Tristan open the car door for her children. “They’re in his car. They’re being taken to his house.”Elena wasn’t completely supportive of this little project, but at the same time, she knew that this was the only opportunity she could get to take revenge against Tristan. At first, she wasn’t going to do it out of fear for her kids’s safety, but then Tristan came to visit her yesterday at her office and she just blew up.“How dare he,” she said when she got back to her office. “How dare he use those designs for his own stupid launch?”“I have to admit,” Alexander said, shaking his head, “Tristan may lack a lot of things, but the man never runs out of audacity.”“Oh, he never does,” Elena gritted out. “I will do it. I will accept Liam and Sophie’s help. But they can’t be alone there. There has to be a way to get them to do it safely—where we can be close in case something goes awry.”“I have a truck with equipment,” he offered. “W

Elena’s POV“Get out of there!” Alexander yells at Liam, this time leaving no calmness. He’s full on panicking. “Tristan is about to go there and he will catch you if you don’t get out now!”Liam starts to pack, gathering his wires and his tablets before running out of the study in time and closing the door. He sneaks into the hallway just in time for Tristan to slip in and take his phone.I wait in bated breath.Is he going to notice that Liam is just hiding in the corner of the hallway?Is he going to try to find Liam?Is he suspicious?I can’t breathe. I hold onto Alexander again, and this time, he’s also squeezing me in fright.“Jesus,” he murmurs. “I barely ask you for anything, but now is the time to hear my prayers. Please save this kid from whatever is coming. Please don’t let him be caught. God, please don’t let him be caught!”Tristan looks around like he senses a presence.Then he takes a step closer to where Liam is.Liam has the wit to hide further into the hallway, his f

Third Person POVMira is watching the video, sitting in Tristan’s office waiting for him to come back from that disastrous conference.Her own video… that she told Benjamin to leak to the press.“Well, it’s a success,” Benjamin informs her. “It’s in the possession of the press, but I made sure to cut the video so it doesn’t get shared around.”“Thank you,” she just mutters.Benjamin watches her. “But I kept the full cut.”“And what does that have to do with me?” Mira asks.“It means that I have something to tide me over before you let me do the same thing to you.” He smirks. “By the way, you’re a great fucker. Your pussy looks so good. I just wanted to dive into it.”“You have a wife,” Mira finally points out. “Is she aware of you trying to get with me?”“Not the point.” Benjamin is disgustingly unfazed. “The point here is, you offered first.”Mira doesn’t say anything, even as he smiles at her and licks his lips. At this point, she finds it hard to care whether this man is tugging it

Elena’s POVTime seems to have frozen, and everything is staying in its place. I stare at Tristan, searching his face with the precision of a soldier looking for a chink in his armor.Because surely… surely he doesn’t mean what he just said.I open my mouth but no sound comes out.And Tristan walks ever closer towards me.“I despise myself for it,” he hisses, aggressively jabbing a finger on his chest like he wants to poke through his heart. “I am disgusted. Repulsed. Because when I wake up, I still feel your side of the bed expecting you to be there.”It has to be a lie.Because of all the nights we laid together in our bed, sleeping next to each other to keep up appearances and perhaps out of habit, he never did that. He never reached out for me. I don’t think he ever had the gall to even look me in the eye.There has to be another reason why he’s saying this now.Just like how he tricked me to make that encounter in my store happen. This is all some part of an elaborate plan to fur

Elena’s POV“I’ll leave you two alone,” Uncle Marcus says, nodding at me and Alexander as he closes the door.It’s the aftermath of everything.Alexander and I managed to get home to our house. I explained everything to Uncle Marcus and Grandpa Harold. We all had dinner together like a normal family, and I don’t know how I kept acting normal the whole night, but it has given Sophie and Liam a lot of reassurance, and that’s enough for me.I managed to keep it together until it was time to tuck them in. After that, I could just feel myself falling apart at the seams, and I knew that I had to make it quick, or else I would cry in front of them.And I did cry. The moment I closed the door to their bedroom, I broke down. Uncle Marcus embraced me. Alexander could only watch.Now we’re alone in my study, both staring at the floor.But Alexander breaks the ice first.“I’m sorry.”I look up at him slowly. “For what?”“I… I actually don’t know.” He shakes his head and lets out a mirthless laugh
