-ANNA-

We stared at each other.

Really stared at each other for several long seconds.

Dylan's eyes were glassy beneath the dim light. His cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and the faint scent of wine lingered on his half-parted lips.

Dylan was drunk.

My hand reached out to touch his face again.

Once more, he didn't pull away. Instead, his eyes drifted shut the moment my palm rested against his warm cheek.

My fingertips caresse

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   69. Quiet Prayer

    As our bodies moved together, my mind drifted to something that probably sounded impossible.I wanted to carry Dylan's child.I cried out silently in my heart as Dylan pressed a kiss to the pulse in my neck. My fingers tangled in his hair while I repeated that one wish over and over. Even if I never spoke it aloud, I believed God could hear me now.Our breaths collided. The heat radiating from our bodies turned the car into a sauna. The windows gradually fogged over as we made love.My arms circled Dylan's neck. Soft moans trembled in my throat every time he thrust into me, hitting that place that made stars burst behind my eyes. My head fell back as he pushed even deeper."Ah!""You like that?" Dylan asked, cupping my face in both hands.I gave him a weak nod before wrapping my arms around him again. The car rocked violently. Honestly, I was afraid someone might notice what we were doing. But even more than that, I was afraid of letting even a second of the pleasure Dylan gave me sli

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   68. A Reason to Live

    "So, ma'am... you have acute leukemia? Oh my God. Why have you been keeping this from Mr. Dylan? Your husband should know!" Brenda exclaimed.I quickly pressed a finger to my lips, urging her to lower her voice.I gave her a bitter smile. "We're getting divorced, Brenda."The color drained from Brenda's face. She covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I was out of line. I promise I won't tell anyone, but... honestly, I hate that you're doing this to yourself," she said, unable to hide her frustration. "You... you deserve support, not the way you were treated this morning.""I'm used to being treated like that.""That doesn't mean you have to stay silent, does it? Ma'am..."I hurriedly cut her off. "Brenda, I'm fine."She shook her head. "No, you're not. I saw what happened earlier... and that wasn't okay."I bit my lip.Brenda gently rested her hand over mine. "Mrs. Anna, you need intensive treatment. It could extend your life, maybe even... maybe you could recover.""If I do that, Dyl

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   67. When My Secret Fell Apart

    I wasn't actually asleep last night. I heard everything Dylan did to me. His touch, his breathing, even the quiet moans he tried so hard to suppress, they were all still vividly etched into my memory. If I had let him know I was awake, I was certain he would've been embarrassed. So I stayed perfectly still and pretended to be asleep until he was finished.As I turned on the shower, I tilted my head back, letting the water cascade over my face. My eyes drifted shut.Why did he have to do it by himself?If only he had asked me, I would have gladly fulfilled my duty as his wife. But Dylan's pride was simply too great. He would never admit it.After I finished showering and got dressed, I left the bedroom and headed downstairs. The house was unusually quiet. I glanced around, but there wasn't a single servant in sight. They were usually busy in the kitchen or chatting near the dining table.But this time was different.Did

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   66. Losing Control

    After dealing with the servants, I took some time to head to PayandC with Erwin to check on the progress of the application. Looking over the graphs he showed me, I felt satisfied. Market demand continued to climb, and even companies overseas had begun expressing interest in expanding our system.Seeing the opportunities ahead, I couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment. My eyes lingered on the screen for a moment. If Anna hadn't pushed me this far back then, I probably never would have reached the position I was in today."As instructed, sir, I've cleared your schedule starting at two tomorrow afternoon. The following day, though, your schedule will be much busier," Erwin said, breaking me out of my thoughts."Hm." I slid the screen aside. I was thinking about granting two of Anna's requests tomorrow. She would surely understand that my workload was only getting heavier."Do we have a lot of meetings with investors and company executives o

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   65. There Was a Reason

    I frowned at her question. Just as I was about to answer, she spoke again, her eyes still fixed on the cover of The Little Princess."Dylan, would you give me what I want if I wanted to have a baby?" she asked, her expression unreadable. There was hope in her eyes, but also hesitation."I don't know," I replied casually, taking the shopping basket from her. "Done? I'll pay," I said, quickly changing the subject.For some reason, I didn't want to talk about it right now. After the past few nights we'd spent together, there was a real chance Anna could be pregnant. But that was exactly what frightened me the most.If she was pregnant, I was certain Jessy wouldn't stay quiet. What happened today was enough to make me realize that the longer Anna stayed by my side, the more she would end up getting hurt.After paying for all of her books, we sat side by side in the car. Anna was the first to break the silence. Her voice sounded tired."You didn't answer my question.""If you get pregnant,

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   64. A Wish for Tomorrow

    DYLAN"Move aside, Mom. If Anna really isn't in there, you shouldn't be acting like this," I said, making Jessy bite her lip. She stepped away from the door with an irritated look on her face.I knocked on the door. The commotion I'd heard moments ago had completely stopped.From behind me, Jessy scoffed. "I already told you. There's nothing in there. It's just a rat.""Where's the key to the storage room?" I asked, ignoring her excuse.She clicked her tongue. "It's missing."Knowing it was nothing but another lie, I stepped back from the door. On the count of three, I slammed my shoulder into it with all my strength. The lock snapped free, and the door crashed against the wall.The stale smell of dust and mildew flooded my senses. I coughed as particles swirled through the air. Boxes were scattered everywhere. Old books lay strewn across the floor alongside piles of broken junk.Jessy hurried over. "The rats must've done that. Let the servants clean it up," she said, grabbing my arm

    I didn't know how long I had been lying on the floor.When I woke up, my head was throbbing and my entire body ached. Slowly, I pushed myself upright and rubbed my face. When I looked down, I found several dried drops of blood on the floor.Not wanting to dwell on it, I got up and walked into the b

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   4. A Comparison

    For nearly half the day, I lay in bed, curled up as I stared blankly through the open window. My body felt hot, and I was utterly exhausted even though I hadn't done anything physically demanding.Fortunately, Jessy wasn't home. She was probably working at her boutique. If she saw me lazing around

    I stared at the food I'd prepared with a satisfied smile.The servants who hadn't bothered helping me all morning simply watched with amused expressions. Some of them had even started placing bets on what would happen to the dishes spread across the table.There were only two possibilities. They wo

    "Anna, do you really think a pathetic stunt like this will make Dylan change his mind about divorcing you?" Lea sneered, her gaze sweeping over me with open judgment.I swallowed hard.A mocking smile curved her lips. "Do you honestly think Dylan has ever wanted you?"The question cut through my ch
