Drama のウェブ小説 & Badgirl Regret ストーリー

Damian Taylor was never supposed to love Serena Ellis. Their relationship had rules. A contract. An expiration date. Serena knew exactly what she was to the ruthless billionaire—and she had accepted it. Until she made the mistake of falling in love with him. Three months before their agreement is supposed to end, Damian gets dressed after they’ve been intimate and calmly tells her the words she will never forget. “I’ve grown tired of you.” He’s getting married. Not to Serena, of course. His future wife is Cecilia Arden: beautiful, respectable, innocent. The kind of woman Damian considers worthy of his name—and the kind he refuses to dishonor by keeping Serena in his life. Then he offers Serena thirty million dollars to disappear. No calls. No messages. No accidental encounters. Nothing. Serena’s heart may be broken, but her pride isn’t. So she signs the termination agreement. Takes every cent he owes her. And gives Damian exactly what he asked for. Her absence. Damian should be satisfied. Instead, the silence starts bothering him. Then Serena begins appearing in places he never expected to find her. Behind the wheel of a race car. On podiums. In headlines. Beside another man. The woman Damian thought he knew is suddenly becoming someone he doesn’t recognize—and she seems perfectly capable of building a life in which Damian Taylor has no place at all. He wanted Serena gone. He just never considered what would happen when she actually moved on. Damian Taylor paid thirty million dollars to get Serena Ellis out of his life. He may discover too late that getting her back is the one thing his money can’t buy.
