His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret Chapter 165
Orana’s Point of View“Mama, is Dad Vaughn going to be fine?” Liorah had asked me late last night, her little voice trembling as we curled up in bed together after I gently explained as much of the truth to her as I could.“Yes, baby. He’s going to be just fine,” I had assured her, pressing a soft kiss to her temple as she whispered how much she wished she could see him.I told her everything would be okay. But this morning, as the sun broke over the horizon, I wasn’t so sure.Dante had called at dawn, instructing me not to go to the courthouse for the bail hearing. He told me to stay home, carry on with work, and pretend everything was normal so the media wouldn’t smell blood. Being a Monday, I had to go into the office for a meeting scheduled around the same time Vaughn’s hearing was taking place. So I decided to have a Zoom meeting instead, which I did.Sean convinced me to take time off right after I gave him an earful for hiding my father’s involvement from me. Now, my entire ki

Orana’s Point of View“Are you sure about this, Orana?” Penelope asked softly, placing a warm, grounding hand on my shoulder.I gave her a nod. “If this is what I have to do to get my husband back, then yes.”She looked at me, her eyes swimming with deep worry. But my mind was already set. The justice system had failed me. When I found out earlier at the station that my father had struck a deal with the prosecution to get Vaughn, rage had settled into my bones. I was done keeping quiet.He wasn’t going to walk around as a free man while I still woke up screaming from nightmares of that night almost two years ago. That night I almost lost my life because of his greed. The night I lost my baby.“Orana! What the fuck is going on?!”Dante’s booming voice shattered the quiet as he slammed through the front doors and stormed into my living room. I took a deep, steady breath, turning to face him.“Did you know he struck a deal with the prosecution?” I demanded, matching his fierce energy.D

Vaughn’s Point of View“You will have to cooperate with us, Mr. Carson,” the detective said, leaning over the steel table.I placed my clasped hands on the scratched surface, looking him dead in the eye with zero emotion. “For the tenth time, I’m not saying another word until I speak to my lawyer. And quite frankly, I’m tired of this bullshit.”My voice was unnaturally calm, which only seemed to piss the detective off even more. I kept my face straight, refusing to break. I wasn’t going to give this bastard the satisfaction of enjoying his little victory party for busting me.Not that I was a fucking criminal, but I know the prosecution has been digging into my company for years.“What do you think your wife will think when she realizes that—”“My lawyer,” I cut him off, my gaze dropping into an icy glare that made him snap his mouth shut. “And don’t fucking talk about my wife.”He sat back in his chair, staring at me for a minute before pushing himself up and storming out of the inte

Orana’s Point of ViewI scrambled up the stairs to my room, my hands shaking, so I almost dropped my phone twice before dialing Dante.“Orana?” he picked up on the second ring, his tone cautious and concerned.“Vaughn got arrested! Just now, they...” My voice broke into a sob as I tried to force the words out, pacing back and forth across the rug. “The feds... they came to the house with an arrest warrant. My father was...”I heard the rustle of papers and movement in the background as Dante pieced it together.“Help him, Dante. Please help him,” I cried through the phone, my heart racing so hard against my chest.“I will, okay? You did great to call me,” he said, and I blinked back my tears.“I want you to get off the phone and do me a favor,” Dante said, his voice dropping into commands.“Okay,” I breathed, pressing the phone tighter to my ear.“I want you to make sure this stays out of the media. I am rushing to the station right now to see what’s happening and handle the processin

Orana’s Point of View“Can you turn around, Mr. Carson?” the agent instructed, stepping forward.He pulled a pair of steel handcuffs from his belt, his eyes locked on Vaughn.“This is wrong!” I yelled, stepping between them and my husband. “He didn’t do this! You have the wrong man! If anything, my father should be the one being arrested.”“Mrs. Carson, step back,” Agent Rowland warned, but I couldn’t move. How the hell was my father still walking around free?“No. You can’t do this. He didn’t…” My heart was racing. “My father is the one you should be arresting, not my husband.” I was practically screaming at the top of my voice.“Orana,” Vaughn said through gritted teeth. “Liorah.”“Can you please not do this in front of my daughter?” Vaughn asked, his voice remaining terrifyingly calm and even. He looked over at me, his eyes taking in my wide, frozen gaze.Agent Rowland paused for a second, his expression unreadable. “Unfortunately, sir, we have a protocol to follow.”“Come here,” I

Orana’s Point of ViewThe drive home was quiet, the silence between us thick with everything we had yet to figure out. While we were in the car, he told me everything, and if I ever wanted to know something, I could just ask him.So I asked him about connections, but the biggest question I couldn’t bring myself to ask him.I knew if he ever killed someone, it was for a good reason now, but I couldn’t ask him.By the time Vaughn was getting on the highway, exhaustion took over, and I drifted into a deep sleep.Vaughn carried me to bed and tucked me in. The only way I knew he did was because I was mumbling something, and he kissed me while I drifted off to sleep as he tucked me in.When I woke up in the morning, I instinctively reached across the cold sheets for Vaughn, but his side of the bed was empty.My heart instantly skyrocketed. Panic seizing my chest, I scrambled out of bed, searching our bedroom and the walk-in closet. He wasn’t there.Did he leave again when he promised to ans

Orana’s point of viewHe said it meant nothing.The words replayed in my head long after I stepped out of the car, long after the meeting ended, long after I forced myself to breathe.He said it was a mistake. Heat of the moment.I should have felt relieved. Instead, I felt unsettled.Because if it

Orana’s point of viewLittle dove.He called me little dove and carried me to the hotel room in fucking bridal style. I wanted to fight him and ask him to stop, but I couldn’t. I loved the way he smelled.I didn’t say anything even as he got into the elevator and walked into my room. The silence fo

Orana’s Point of View“Are you ready for this, Orana?”The question cut through the low hum of the jet engines just as the door opened, letting in a rush of New York air. I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I stood at the top of the stairs, my fingers curling tightly around the rail as my gaze s

Orana’s Point of View“Mama, you’re staring at me again.”I blinked, dragged back into the present by a small, sweet voice.My daughter stood in the middle of the room with her tiny hands planted on her hips, already dressed, already impatient. Her curls framed her face in soft chaos, and her green
