Vaughn's Point Of View

I got in the car, and she was just quiet, clutching her phone like it was enough. She tried to call Sienna, but the phone was off.

“You should give it time. James will be there soon,” I assured her, but she didn’t respond, so I let her be.

I drove her home in silence, and when we reached her floor, I didn’t stop. I kept going, up to mine.

She noticed that I didn’t stop at her floor.

“I want to be in my apartment when she comes,” she said, looking panicked, her eyes dartin

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 131

    Orana’s point of viewWhen Darian said charity event, I pictured something different from this. I thought, A small gathering, soft lighting, with few people. I was wrong.The place was packed, cameras positioned at every angle, people dressed as if they had somewhere more important to be afterward. Sienna and I made it through the entrance without too much trouble, which was its own minor miracle given the crowd pressing toward the doors.We looked good, and we both knew it. It was the kind of good that comes from taking your time getting ready. I took her hand as we walked in, steering us through the crowd.“We need to find Darian,” I told her. “Make our presence known; then we can leave.”We were barely two steps from the champagne table when she cursed under her breath beside me.I turned to look at her and followed her line of sight just as Darian appeared, walking towards us with a smile on his face.“Hello, freckles.” He said, his voice laced with some sort of amusement. “We mee

    Orana’s point of view“What are you doing here?” I asked, keeping my voice really low.She pushed past me into the living room without waiting for an invitation, her eyes sweeping over the space as if she were trying to find everything wrong with it.“Was this your plan all along?” She snapped, turning to face me. “Ruin everything, disappear, and then come waltzing back to playhouse? After tricking people into selling their shares?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I shook my head. “I planned none of this.”She laughed, her voice humorless. “I’m sure you think you’ve got it all figured out now. Living happily, working alongside Sean, taking everything you wanted from this family.” Her eyes narrowed. “Enjoy it while it lasts. Sean is only keeping you around because of your shares. The second they stop being useful to him, so will you.”“You need to leave my house,” I said, my voice flat and entertaining whatever this was.My mother had a way of making you feel useless, and I d

    Orana’s point of view“Where are we going?” I asked Vaughn after he picked me up from work.“Somewhere nice,” he said, with a smile as I raised my eyebrows at him.“What, you don’t trust me?” he asked, and my breath hitched.Of course, I trusted him, but we were still working on whatever this was between us.Instead of a restaurant, we pulled up outside a mansion that sat back from the road behind a line of trees.“Whose house is this?” I asked, my eyes roaming around the place. Because it couldn’t be.“Mine,” he smiled at me, getting out of the car, and my jaw fell to the ground. When did he buy another house?“I didn’t know you bought another house,” I said, looking up at it as I got out of the car after he got the door for me.He laughed, his voice carrying over the quiet. “It’s always been here. I just don’t bring people to it.”Something about the way he said it settled warmly in my chest. He led me inside, through a foyer, then straight to the kitchen.“I will give you a tour la

    Orana’s point of view“Anthony.” I smiled weakly at him. “It’s been a while.”“It’s been long,” he said, his lips pulling into a smile as he stepped into my office, hands tucked into his pockets. He had that easy mood about him as he strode into the house.“What are you doing here?”“Came to see you, actually.” He glanced around the office, taking it in. “Heard you are now CFO, came to say congratulations.” His eyes came back to me, amused.“Thanks, but where are the flowers?” I asked, biting back a smile. I haven’t seen him since my kidnapping, but he had texted me a few times to check on me, and we spoke, but just for a few minutes.“I don’t think you need more,” he said, gesturing towards the huge bouquet on my desk with a smile. “I take it you are back together?”I felt my cheeks warm and tried to school my expression. “We’re working on things.”“I gathered.” He dropped into the chair across from my desk without waiting for an invitation, the same way he always had, the same way h

    Orana’s point of viewThe moment his lips met mine, a soft gasp escaped me, and he used it to deepen the kiss. His hands were warm against my cheeks, his thumbs tracing my jawline with a fierce intensity that made my knees go weak.I reached out blindly, my fingers bunching into the fabric of his coat, pulling him into me.He tasted like mint, like the chocolate dessert we had shared, but also, he tasted like him. Like sin, sweet, beautiful sin, and everything I had spent weeks trying to convince myself I could live without.When he finally pulled back, he didn’t go far. He rested his forehead against mine, his chest heaving as he drew in sharp breaths. His eyes were dark, filled with such an intensity that made my throat tight.“You’re going to be the death of me, Orana,” he whispered, his voice rough and laced with a breathless laugh.“You ate the street food,” I managed to say, my voice trembling as I tried to compose myself. “I’m a woman of my word.”The corners of his mouth ticke

    Orana’s Point of View“Do you think I should go for sneakers or heels?” I asked Sienna, showing her the shoes. My heart was racing, and I couldn’t think straight. Vaughn had said comfortable clothes, so I went with jeans, sneakers, and a T-shirt, second-guessing the choice now, looking at how casual I looked.“I honestly feel that even if you wore a lounge suit, he wouldn’t really mind.”“Sienna”“You look beautiful, okay? I love what this is, okay? It’s casual and chic,” she says, but I don’t feel that beautiful. Maybe I shouldn’t have said yes to the date.When I texted him, it was maybe a heat-of-the-moment thing, and I acted without thinking.The doorbell rang, and I froze, looking at her with my eyes wide.“Relax. I’m sure this will be fine,” she assured me, her hands on my shoulders, before smiling at me.“Okay. Fine. I hope I’m fine,” I said before making my way out and going to kiss Liorah, who was drawing in her room.“See you,” I said, then made my way out of the house.Whe

    Orana’s point of viewTo say my heart skipped would be putting it mildly. Vaughn had a way of making it difficult to remember why I was supposed to be angry with him.I didn’t move after the elevator doors closed in front of me.This morning I had woken up to fresh flowers waiting outside my door.

    Orana’s point of viewVaughn stood through the entire service with his arm around his mother, holding her up as her knees threatened to give in.Bethany trailed a few steps behind them throughout, and I was there standing aside while she played the role of a perfect woman.He gave the eulogy, his v

    Orana’s point of viewWe walked into the room, and she was still asking for him.My heart was beating hard against my chest, and tears threatened to fall. She had her arm and her head bandaged.“Oh, Orana, sweetie,” she cried, extending her hand to me. I took a few steps towards her, letting Vaughn

    Orana’s point of viewI ran out of the car as soon as it stopped in front of the hospital and made a run, Sienna right behind me, both of us out of breath. Nobody seemed to know anything, even when I asked at the nurses’ station, only that there had been an accident.An article had gone up briefly
