TARA'S POV

Daniel's voice cut through the air.

Sharp and possessive.

My body stiffened instantly.

But Sebastian didn’t move. Not even a flinch.

His hand were still on me.

My heart pounded

I pulled away from his grip. Gulped hard and smoothed my dress.

Daniel was approaching us with deliberate strides and soon the attention of the guests at the exhibition was on us.

Cameras began to flash, hushed voices echoed from every angle.

I glanced at Sebastian who stood composed with his hands in his

  • EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: PREGNANT FOR THE BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 15

    TARA'S POVOur eyes locked for a second too long, then I turned to leave but my feet didn't move. The emphasis on ‘daylight’ left a gnawing feeling in my stomach.It's time we get the suspicions over with. I summoned every ounce of courage in me, and turned. “Before I give you my response, I'd like to ask a question.”“Mr. Hale, have we met before?” I asked, looking him dead in the eye.A slow smile spread across his face as he leaned back in his chair.“That depends,” he said calmly. “Are you asking as Tara Bryce?” His gaze locked onto mine, “or as the woman from that night?”My knees weakened. “So it was you.”“Was it really that hard to tell?” he asked.Sweat trickled down my spine.“That night was a mistake, Mr. Hale.”He was quiet for a moment, then he left his chair and walked toward the window.“A mistake,” he repeated.I swallowed hard.“Yes.”“Interesting.”He turned slightly.“Yes, sir. It should never have happened, and I would appreciate it if this remains between the

    TARA'S POV By the time I got to the museum, my stomach was already in knots.Or rather…By the time I got there, I was already regretting every decision I had made in the last seventy-two hours.Sebastian Hale.The rogue.The billionaire.The man whose hands I apparently couldn’t stop thinking about.My hands were sweaty but I didn't care. I tightened my grip around my purse.Professional.This was professional.Nothing more.The black Rolls-Royce waiting outside the museum snapped me out of my thoughts.A man in a suit stepped out immediately like he had been waiting for my car to pull over.“Mrs. Bryce?”I swallowed.“Yes.”“Mr. Hale sent me.”Of course he did.I looked at my phone screen. 10 : 45 am and cleared my throat.“You were supposed to pick me up by 11. It's not time yet.” “You need to be seated by 11. No one keeps the boss waiting.” He said more like a robot than a human.I took a deep breath and nodded. So much for putting myself together before the driver arrives.The

    TARA'S POVI didn’t move.My hand remained on the guest room handle.For a second, I wondered if pretending I hadn’t heard him would somehow save me from this conversation.But it wouldn’t.I inhaled slowly.“Who’s the one?” I asked quietly, finally turning.Daniel stood at the end of the hallway. Buttons undone, tie loosened and sleeves rolled.His expression was unreadable.“Don’t play dumb with me, Tara.” His voice stayed calm.“Sebastian Hale.”My stomach tightened.He took a slow step forward.“You looked awfully comfortable in his arms.”I swallowed hard.“Daniel,” I said calmly, “I'm expecting Stella and she'll be here in a few minutes. I need to get ready.”“I don't have time for whatever it is you're trying to start.”I turned back to the door. It was best I avoided this conversation, I sucked at lying, especially to Daniel.“Don’t take another step,” he said, firmer this time.I rolled my eyes and turned back slowly.“What exactly is your problem?” I asked.His eyes twitched

Gulped hard and smoothed my dress.Daniel was approaching us with deliberate strides and soon the attention of the guests at the exhibition was on us.Cameras began to flash, hushed voices echoed from every angle. I glanced at Sebastian who stood composed with his hands in his pocket.Like the scene was nothing. And then at Daniel who was ready to have an outburst. He approached Mr. Hale, breathing heavily. “Babe… Babe,” I hurriedly moved towards him before he could get to where Sebastian stood.He simply shoved me aside and continued heading in Sebastian’s direction.I looked around and everyone was still, waiting for Daniel to explode.Daniel stopped right in front of him.Too close. The room went still. Even the cameras stopped.Sebastian didn’t move.Didn’t ste

    TARA'S POV A small smile formed on my lips.Daniel came after all.At that moment, I was ready to forget everything that had happened because he showed up.I turned, the smile already forming.“Ba..” I paused.Wrong person.But that voice.“Your confidence is admirable, Mrs. Bryce,” the voice said calmly.My brows pulled together slightly as I looked up.“Thank you,” I said too quickly.Something about him made my heart race.I coughed, awkwardly. Why would he address me by my name first?“Enjoying the Exhibition?” I added.He stood confidently, head high, like he owned the place.His eyes drifted past the crowd for a second.“Oh! Yes, I am,” he said. “Beautiful pieces, I must say.”His gaze lingered on me for a second too long…Then shifted slowly toward the painting behind me.Chaos.“Interesting choice for a centerpiece,” he said.Not impressed.Not dismissive either. I swallowed hard.“Yes…” I found my voice. “Art isn't about perfection.” He chuckled, putting his hands in hi

    TARA'S POVDaniel didn't come home that night, and for the first time in a long time… I didn’t wait for him, didn't care enough to ask whyI got home, dropped my bag, and headed straight for the bathroom.I stood under the shower, letting the water run down my skin… washing away everything from the day.The anger. The humiliation. The pain.When I stepped out, I felt different. Not lighter. Not happier. But… calmer.I got my laptop, finalized the acquisition of the remaining art pieces and then laid face up on the bed.Maybe I didn’t need Daniel.I just needed to be bold enough to prove it.The night went by really fast. I jolted awake at the sound of my alarm.8 : 15 amI had to be at Holloway museum by 9:30 am. The private viewing was by 10 and a lot was yet to be organised.I had a quick bath, and slid into a tailored cream suit, the sharp lines sitting perfectly against my body.My hair was pulled into a low bun. A few strands escaped, softening the edges.I packed my dress for t

    TARA’S POV His grip tightened “I asked you a question.” My breath hitched. In all the years we had been married… Daniel had never looked at me like this. Not with this kind of rage. “You're hurting me, Daniel,” I groaned. “Tell me who it is…now!” He yelled, finally letting go roughly.

    TARA’S POV The air in the cab grew heavier as my mind circled around the possibility of the stranger being dangerous. What if he took pictures and videos? What were his plans? My chest tightened as I wrapped my hands around my phone. I inhaled and leaned backwards. Over half the city knows

    TARA'S POV I took a long deep inhale as he made the first thrust. He flipped me over, my legs on the bed with hips raised. I yelped, breathing heavily. It felt like my legs could collapse from the ruthless thrusts. “You… ” I trailed as he spanked me, hard. “Quiet. Spread,” he ordered. Voice

    TARA'S POV “I'll pay well, don't be shy,” I said trying to coax him as I leaned in closer. He didn't react or respond. Simply watched. Maybe they were told not to talk much so they don't piss off their customers. I grabbed him by the collar and dragged him towards the counter. He had a stead
