Billionaire's Regret Chapter 136
It was Saturday morning, Claire doesn't have to go to the office.Adrian found her the way he always did on Saturday mornings, small feet padding down the hallway, her bedroom door creaking open, the mattress dipping as he climbed in and settled beside her.Claire had been awake for a while already, lying in the pale morning light with last night sitting warm and unfamiliar in her chest, Jeff's arms around her, his lips pressed against hers and how warm and soft it felt against hers.Adrian propped himself on his elbow and looked at her face."You're smiling." He said."Am I." She asked half consciously."Yes." He tilted his head the way he always tilted it when he was working something out. "You don't smile like that when you wake up.""Like what." Claire asked, her gaze now focused on him."Like something good happened."Claire looked at her son, his brown eyes were steady and curious on her face, she reached over with a smile and pushed the hair back from his forehead."Something g

Jeff was at her door in twenty minutes and Claire opened it and her eyes went straight to his right hand, the knuckles swollen and already darkening, and she looked at them for a moment and then looked at his face."Come in." She said.He came in and they went to the kitchen.Claire rummaged through her cupboard for the first aid and quietly cleaned his knuckles and wrapped it in a bandage.Jeff sat at the table while she cleaned his wound and she could feel the tension coming off him in waves. She finished wrapping the wound in silence, then poured coffee for him in a cup and set it in front of him before going to sit across from him."Thank you." He whispered and she nodded.She told him what her contact had reported, that Irene had been seen entering the facility approximately fifteen minutes after Jeff left, that she had remained inside for twenty minutes.Jeff stared at her, his expression unreadable."You have someone watching her?" He asked and Claire shifted in her seat but s

Jeff had not planned to come here but he couldn't put it off anymore, he had been avoiding this place since he found out what his friend did because he was afraid that he might just as well send the bastard straight to hell and he would end up in jail.He had left the apartment with his keys in his hand and no destination in mind but his hands had driven him across the city and when he pulled into the car park and looked up at the building he understood that he had been coming here since he woke up and everything since then had just been the time it took to admit it.He got out of the car and went in.---The officer at the desk took his ID and made a call and Jeff sat in the hard plastic chair and kept his hands clenched on his knees.He and Matt had been friends for years, Jeff had stood at his father's funeral and Matt had stood at his wedding and they had built things together and lost things together and Jeff had grieved him when he disappeared years ago, had sat in bars alone th

Jeff woke up with a pounding headache to a ceiling he recognised.The first thing he noticed was that he was sleeping in their old bedroom and the second thing was that he was naked beneath the covers.The morning light was coming through the curtains and the room smelled like her perfume and something turned in his stomach immediately, a deep physical wrongness before his mind had fully assembled what had happened and the fog had fully cleared.He sat up and groaned as he gazed around Irene was not in the room.He looked at himself and the wrongness solidified and he sat on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands and the full shape of what she had done pressed down on him.He had not drank enough to black out.He had drank one glass.One glass that she had poured.She had waited to offer it until he was exhausted and his guard was down.He stood up and his legs were steadier than they should have been which told him whatever she had used was already metabolising.He quickly t

Jeff was already preparing for the night when his phone rang at half past ten and Irene's name came up on the screen and he almost let it go to voicemail because he was tired and the day had been long and he had nothing left in him for whatever she was building toward tonight.He answered it anyway because of Zane.He always answered because of Zane."Jeff." Her voice came out immediately and it was not the careful warm voice she used when she wanted something, it was high and stripped and genuinely frightened and that was the only thing that made him sit up straighter. "Something is wrong with Zane.""What happened.""His temperature, it's so high Jeff, he's been shivering for hours and I can't get it down and he keeps asking for you and I don't know what to do."Jeff was already on his feet."I'm coming." He said and hung up before she could say anything else.---The house looked the same from the outside but when Irene opened the door her face was different, drawn and pale and str

They came out through the main doors and the reporters were already moving before Claire had taken two steps.Cameras flashing, microphones pushed toward her face, bodies crowding the space between her and the car."Ms Clark, how do you feel about the suspended sentence?""Ms Clark, is it true you faked your own death?""Ms Clark, what does this mean for your position at Anderson Corporation?"Claire kept her eyes forward, her chin up, walking without breaking her stride while Jeff moved slightly ahead of her, not touching her, just creating space with his body and the particular set of his shoulders that told people to move without him saying a word.One reporter louder than the rest pushed forward."Ms Clark, are you and Jeff Anderson back together?"Claire's jaw tightened and she kept walking.Jeff kept walking.They got to the car, got in, the doors closed and the noise cut off so suddenly and completely that Claire sat for a moment and just breathed it in.Neither of them moved.
