Orana’s Point of View

My fingers tightened slightly in Vaughn’s hand, but I didn’t turn right away. I didn’t want to. I wasn’t ready to give that moment or that power.

For a second, everything else blurred, the music, the voices, the soft glow of chandeliers overhead. My gaze locked onto him like it had been trained to, like muscle memory refusing to fade. He looked the same. The kind of man who never lets anything slip.

But his eyes weren’t calm; something dark flickered, they narrowed, starin

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 138

    Orana’s Point of ViewI walked down the aisle with my arm looped through Sean’s. I had asked him because I had no one else, and over the last few months, he had proved to me that he was a good brother.I had thought he might ask me to sell my shares, but he never did. Even when I offered to sell them to him, he just shook his head and said no. He told me he had his own empire to build and was doing well on his own, not needing me to be a major shareholder.“You look beautiful, Orana,” Sean whispered against my ear as he led me down the path.The moment the chapel doors opened, my heart wouldn’t stop racing as my eyes locked onto the end of the aisle.Vaughn stood there in all his glory. The absolute second he saw me walking toward him, the rest of the room seemed to vanish for him. He never took his eyes off me, his gaze so intense it made my breath hitch in my veil.Liorah was our only flower girl, looking like a little angel in her matching white dress. When I finally reached the fr

    Orana’s Point of ViewMy hands shook so much that I couldn’t even hold my lipstick. I gripped the edge of the vanity, staring at my reflection, but everything was a blur.In just a few minutes, I would be marrying the love of my life. I looked down at the dress I was wearing, running my trembling fingers over the delicate fabric. It was a custom Laoise Carson creation,The gown was a breathtaking ivory dress with a high collar of light white lace, framing a keyhole cutout that bared my collarbones and a bone-lined corset sculpted my torso down to a sharp waist, while skin-tight sleeves of unlined, sheer lace wrapped my arms like white vines. From the hips down, winter-white satin panels parted in a split, cascading to the floor in voluminous folds.Through the center opening, a slender column underskirt of continuous lace was revealed, trailing silently behind me as I moved.I looked really pretty, but the perfection of the moment only made my chest tighten with a suffocating wave of

    Orana’s Point of View“Let me see that ring,” Penny said, tears immediately welling up in her eyes the moment we sat down for our weekly tea date.I smiled, holding out my hand to show her the flawless diamond catching the light of the cafe.Penny gasped softly, tracing the band with a gentle finger. “Oh, Orana. It is stunning.”“I know,” I said, a smile spreading across my face. “It’s everything I ever imagined my engagement ring would be.”She laughed, wiping a stray tear from her cheek, and we quickly dived into chatting.I asked her how she was doing, and we spent the first twenty minutes just catching up on life. It was the first time since Frank had passed away that the two of us were meeting like this.“So,” Penny leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Have you two set a date yet?”“Yes, actually. It’s in about seven weeks,” I said with a smile.The loud gasps I heard behind my chair told me that Laoise and Sienna had finally arrived. It was usually just Penny and

    Vaughn’s Point of View“What kind of wedding do you want?” I asked Orana, tightening my grip around her waist and pulling her back flush against my chest.We were lying on the grass, the afternoon sun warming our skin. We had already spent two days away from the rest of the world at the mansion, and they had been paradise. My girls, Orana and Bambi, as I loved to call our little Liorah, adored the estate, so I decided to extend our getaway by one more day.I wasn’t in any rush to let the reality of the outside world crash back into our bubble.Orana hummed softly, leaning her head back against my shoulder. “I want the grandest one. I want flowers everywhere… and I want a carriage.”“A carriage, a stór?” I asked, a low chuckle vibrating in my chest.She turned her head, looking up at me with sparkling eyes that danced with excitement the moment she started talking about the details.I caught my breath just watching her. I knew why she wanted a real wedding.From what I understood of he

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 134

    Orana’s point of viewI’m going to be Vaughn Carson’s wife. Is that even happening?After I could control myself, Vaughn and I sat down and had dinner, but I couldn’t stop admiring my ring. It was a gold ring with a curved band and a pear-shaped diamond.It was everything I could ever dream of.Even as he talked, I couldn’t help but admire my ring, my heart hammering against my chest. I couldn’t wait to show Sienna. Did she know about this? Was that why she didn’t seem worried?I was still thinking about Sienna.“Mama!”The high-pitched shout shocked me, and I pulled back from my thoughts as my eyes widened, and I saw Sienna walking down the manicured lawn, holding a beaming Liorah by the hand.Liorah immediately broke free of Sienna’s grip and ran toward us as fast as her little legs could carry her. Sienna stopped a distance away, crossing her arms with a knowing smile playing on her lips.She knew.Vaughn scooped Liorah up into our embrace. “Bambi,” he said, planting a kiss on her

  • His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 133

    Orana’s Point of ViewFor the next couple of months, we fell into a beautiful routine. During weekdays, Vaughn and I would go out for late-night drives or dinners just for the two of us. Saturdays belonged to the three of us. If it were us having Liorah, he would spend the whole day playing with Liorah, treating her like the center of his universe.It was strange how he loved her. Every time I found them talking or playing, I was amazed at how he treated her like a princess. Whatever she wanted, she got, no matter how hard it was; the same thing with Callahan.The two of them still can’t stand each other, but I was glad for Liorah that they were trying to tolerate each other.Meanwhile, Sienna was suddenly busy with work and with a mystery guy she was seeing. I never asked her who it was, content with how happy and radiant she looked every time she came home. She was practically glowing.But today, I woke up with a terrible, heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was abo

    Orana’s point of viewSomething was off. I felt the way my head throbbed, but it also didn’t smell like berries; it smelled spicy and woody.The bed was too soft and too big. But I didn’t hear the sound I woke up to yesterday.Liorah.I sat up so fast, feeling lightheaded at the speed I woke up, my

    Orana’s point of view“What?” he asked, his eyebrow raised.I repeat, as if he didn’t hear me the first time, “Is there something you’re keeping from me?”The thing is, I didn’t want to ask that. Not really. Because once I asked, I couldn’t pretend anymore. And I couldn’t risk my daughter. Not if t

    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
