Lahat ng Kabanata ng REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE : Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

THIRD PERSON'S POVSara froze for a second and she gripped the hem of her cloth.She hadn't realised it wasn't just Derek she needed to avoid but his mother too. If she knew Bethany would show up then she wouldn't have given in to Danielle's request for breakfast and would have left long enough to avoid meeting her mother-in-law who was very nearly insufferable.As expected, Bethany found her way up the stairs, her voice growing louder as she approached. Her heels clicked against the tiles as well, another loud proclamation of her arrival.Sara knew what she had to do, she was just going to ignore her the way she did to Derek."There you are," Bethany's voice carried across the hallway, echoing for additional effect. Her gaze landed first on Derek, who she smiled at, then flicked to Sara and her smile waned, *You are here too, Sara. How convenient."Sara's eyes flickered.The way Bethany spoke sounded as though she knew something Sara was not privy to but at the same time, Bethany alwa

SARA'S POVI don't know if it was just a simple instinct or one fueled by maternity but the minute I saw Danielle's face and what she was looking at, I understood.She had seen that picture before now and worse, had given her own meaning to it.Her little face was frozen and her body was eerily still. Even her hands that I was grasping onto had stiffened."Danielle," I called but she didn't respond to my call or withdraw her gaze from the picture.I didn't attempt to call her again but gently stepped between her and Bethany instead, forcing her to look at me.She lifted her head, and met my gaze and I sighed then bent to bent low and heaved her into my arms on one swift move.It had been a long while since I lifted her like this but I didn't mind doing so now. My only thought was to get her away from this uncomfortable atmosphere.Before my departure, I turned a sharp look in Derek's direction then glared at Bethany right before I walked off.In the kitchen, I set Danielle on the coun

THIRD PERSON'S POVSara froze when she met Derek's eyes.Her hands that had been idly resting on the counter tightened for unknown reasons. The air that previously was riddled with emotions while she conversed with Danielle turned sharp and so did her gaze.Derek didn't move and she didn't speak either. For a brief moment, it felt as though time had narrowed to just the weight of their stares.Then, as though he thought he had seen enough, Derek stepped further into the kitchen and headed for the fridge.Sara watched as he opened it then pulled out a bottle of water which he uncapped, downing half of the cool liquid in one gulp.His Adam's apple bobbed, a sight the old Sara would have once found incredibly attractive.Now, she didn't even look at him for longer than a few seconds before she averted her gaze. She turned away, no longer acknowledging him and returned to the pancakes she was making.All she wanted to do now was just finish up with it, serve it to Danielle and then leave.

SARA'S POVLunch with Rina came and went faster than I expected.We met at the cafe across from my workplace, the one my company workers frequently visited for group coffees while we were at work.It was also where the interns picked up our daily coffees.When I arrived at work, Lena was the first to come running up to me, affirming what Rina said earlier, that the pictures had been taken down.I still got looks around the office but they weren't as intensified as the were the previous day and I was grateful for that.Finally, I could walk around as I wished without having fingers pointed at me.My conversation with Rina danced around, from work to casual gossip, to the scandal circulating about me.I debated telling her about what had happened this morning with Danielle and Derek but decided to keep it to myself.Rina , however, pointed out my usual quiet."What are you thinking about? You keep zoning out," She said, leaning back in her seat. She crossed her arms and began to look me

LSARA'S POVMrs. Patterson’s brows pulled together as she and her husband shared a glance, "Honestly Sara, we still don't know.""We checked again with our lawyer this week and there is still no record of who paid off the penalties and put a stop to the repossession of our properties according to tax laws. I have been wondering too because it's as if the case just vanished after my husband was released."A frown flitted onto my face as well, "That's strange."Thinking back now, I should have found it even more odd that the whole case had barely lasted two days before Mrs Patterson contacted me again, saying her husband had been released and absolved of all charges."Mr Patterson, how about you? Any idea?" I turned to him, hoping he would at least recollect something that could serve as a clue to who had helped out.Even as I stood in their living room, I had no idea why I was so fixated on knowing who it was but a part of me just refused to let it go.Maybe it was just a part of my mi
