Her Return, His Regret 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

***~~Soren~~***That's when it dawned on Rebecca.The balance of power has shifted and so does her stance shifts.Her brows lifts and I can see wheels turning in her head.Good.Her gloating time's over.The room shifts, the air thickens, charged with an unhidden tension My eyes drifts to Alfred and he has this look — eyes all scrunched up, like he can't wait to see what I have up my sleeves.More than that, I see a man who believes in me completely.My father seems hurt. His eyes won't leave Rebecca.He hasn't moved. Not an inch.He's shell-shocked.It's like he's struggling to digest everything.I almost feel pity for him. Almost.Cameron can't even hold my gaze anymore, but I see the way his jaw is locked hard.Ashley?She looks like her soul has zapped out of her body.“Looks like I picked up the wrong envelope,” Benjamin says, reaching for the next one.He lifts it. “That's it?”I nod, pocketing a hand.“That’s a whole load of crap,” Rebecca snorted loudly, trying to throw a f

***~~Ashley~~***I will my heart not to shake but it won’t stop.I thought we had it all figured out.That Rebecca would get what she wants, put Soren under fire, make him unfit to be an heir while Cameron steps up.And me?I’d get all the money.A million dollars, that’s what she had promised me.It’s big enough to run off with June and go start life somewhere else with Jade, the man I love.She had strategically planned it all and I just had to go with the flow.Everything was going as planned.Well, so we thought until then…I glare at Delilah.I’m sure she’s enjoying every second of me under fire and Rebecca, well she's anungrateful bitch.If she thinks I’m going down alone, she’s sorely mistaken.But Soren has it in for her.The cops stride in and my heart goes into my throat.My mind spins. This isn’t how it was supposed to go.Soren shouldn’t have found out.This was meant to destroy him, not me.How the hell did he find out?!My gaze locks on Delilah and my blood runs cold.I

***~~Delilah~~***A week breathing actual air without watching my back.A week since the chaos ended.A week trying to get to know Soren better and better.I went from having one kid to two in a twinkle of an eye.It's been overwhelming.A little different.Maybe not so little.June's been throwing a fit.Something about wanting to see her mom.At first, Soren thought she'd get over it. I mean, she's just a kid.Except she's a kid that has gotten used to sharing both parents.I can't tell if it'll get better with time.Or how soon she's going to forget.Soren has full custody over her. As a matter of fact Ashley signed off all rights in a bid for money.But I can tell you for a fact that June likes Ashley, maybe more.We'll see how that goes.The charges against Rebecca are hefty. She's facing life term for murder, that's for sure.As for Ashley.There's the paternity fraud, extortion and of course attempted murder.Strangely, Rebecca's confessing to all accusations.Everyone's shock

***~~Delilah~~***After dinner, Meghan was the first to leave.Hunter follows.Jenaya had excused herself to use the bathroom and I can't find Knox anywhere.“Thank you for inviting us out,” I tell Alfred.He smiles. “I'm glad y'all came to keep this old man company,”Across the room I can see Elena and Julian, talking.I share a look with Soren.Alfred notices of course and clears his throat.“How about Liam and June stay over?” He breathed out with hopeful eyes. “I'll have my driver bring them home after the weekend,”I tilt my head. But before I can breathe again he adds.“I need to spend more time with Liam, see if I can make up for the lost time,” he says. “By the way, when are you planning to tell him?”My brows lifts.Right.That has been on my mind too. I've taken a far too cautious steps that led nowhere.Liam loves Soren, so much that it beats me sometimes.I know he'd be the happiest to know he's his father.But I feared the questions that'll come right after.I had lied.

***~~Delilah~~***I stop at the bottom of the stairs, in one of Soren's oversized tees and a pair of his boxers.I stared at the packed dining table.Blinking, my eyes trails to the table just in time to see Soren coming out with a bottle of chilled water.A smile breaks through his face. He puts down the bottle and starts walking toward me.“You're up? I didn't want to disturb you.”“Are we having a visitor?” I let out.“Maybe. Maybe not.” He says with a heave.That makes me pause.And then it clicks.“Cameron? Shit. I almost forgot,” I say, glancing down at myself. “I have to change into something else,”He snakes his arms around me. “Why? You're perfect this way,”“I'm on your fucking boxers,”He leans in, cupping my face in his hand. “It doesn't matter. That's what couples do,”I try to shift my gaze from him. “We're not a thing…”“Yet…” he mused. “And I'm waiting, you know.”I roll my eyes. “Soren. It's dinner and this is the first time you're inviting your brother over,”He stu
