Never: HIS REGRET 52: In Between
Olivia's POV My hands were placed on my cheeks as I reflected about the encounters I had gone through at their hands.They asked for an immediate transfer once he was awake, and it hurt me deeply that they never appreciated my efforts. But I gave in to their demands.What hurt me most was the fact that he didn't recognize me or anyone else except his mom.It damn well hurts.I swallowed hard, my gaze fixed on the door as it creaked open, revealing Doctor Kaley.He had been on leave for a week, and the wait for his return had worn me down the most. He was one of the best in the neurosurgical field and had extensive knowledge when it came to his area of expertise.All research proved inadequate."Have a good day, ma’am," he greeted, and I reciprocate the gesture, motioning for him to sit."The patient from the previous surgery seems to be suffering from severe amnesia," I said as soon as he sat down.He smiled a little, then lifted his head to meet my gaze.

James POV I flinched at her inquiry."She's just a friend from my past who wouldn't let go. She came over and seduced me. At that point, I didn't know what got over me," I replied, my gaze fixed on her."I'm so sorry. No amount of words could mend your broken heart or undo what I’ve done. Please, just find it in your heart to forgive me," I pleaded yet again."Why haven't you told me about her all these years?" she asked, her gaze locked on mine."That's because I thought I had successfully put her behind me, but I never knew she would come back," I replied defiantly.My gaze remained on her for a while before she looked away.I stayed crouched, lifting the parcel I had gotten for her."This isn't a bribe or a way of buying myself back into your heart; it's a gift of my love for you. It is boundless," I asserted, stretching the parcel toward her.She held her gaze on the gift for a while before looking away.My heart quickened. I just wanted her to forgive me. ‘I am so sorry,’ I mutt

“I certainly don't know what this is all about,” I replied, already turning to move away from the cameras, but something happened.“We have proof to support our claims. You arranged the incident that led to his predicament,” a lady's voice surged from the crowd.My heart quickened. What proof was she talking about?I tried to ignore it, but the stunned gazes from my staff caught my attention, drilling into my heart.I turned toward the cameras. “I certainly don't have a hand whatsoever in his predicament. I just didn't like his closeness to my fiance, that's all,” I addressed, feeling increasingly drained inside.Hot sweat swirled on my forehead.“Then what about the phone calls? How do you explain them?” That same voice asked again.I narrowed my gaze into the crowd, trying to grasp the identity of this person attempting to ruin me, but I couldn't figure out who she was.The eagerness of the media personnel, the cameras all focusing on me, fighting to be the first to capture my react

Olivia's POV He had such an amazing personality, with a way of getting to my heart. Somehow, I felt I would have forgiven him immediately.But I didn’t want my decisions to be based on mere gifts, I wanted them to come from my heart. Infidelity was something I despised deeply. It reminded me of my past wounds.It wasn’t his fault, after all.I glanced at the necklace. Its sparkles lit up my heart. My chest filled with excitement, and I blinked repeatedly, placing a hand over my chest, feeling blessed.The door creaked open, drawing my attention. My gaze shifted toward Becky as she approached.Her urgency and the curious expression in her eyes as she stared at the tablet she held caught my attention."Ma’am, you won’t believe what’s in the news right now," she blurted, bending down to show me the screen.A sudden hot sting shot through my body."James Smith, the billionaire and CEO of Stanbic Group of Companies, denied any involvement in the tragic incident that happened to his suppos

James POV I drove into the compound about three hours later, my entire body sore from the long drive.Taking a deep breath and holding my wrist, my hands trailed down to my ankle, massaging the aching spot.Pain coursed through my body. It had been a long drive, and I had to do it alone this time.I yanked my neck to release the lingering tension, my heart still unsteady.After a long wait in the car, I finally stepped out. It was already getting late.The evening breeze blew past, carrying a bittersweet sensation; its gentle touch soothing, yet unable to erase the pain within me.“Son, I'm right here,” I heard Mum's voice from the first floor. I lifted my gaze to meet hers.“Alright, Mum,” I replied, moving into the mansion.My mind was already set on what I needed to do.Soon, I was up on the balcony where Mum sat, her legs crossed. A small side stool beside her held a glass cup, half-filled with orange-colored juice. A magazine lay on her lap, its pages flipping under her fingers.

I decided to give him a call to book me a nice place to rest my head for the night. Picking up my phone, I realized it was off, which was unusual. I turned it on, only to receive numerous voicemail messages and redirected calls. ID: Olivia… I gasped, feeling unease as I played the voice messages. My heart clung to a tiny strand of hope that it wasn't over yet. I just couldn't stand losing her now; just as I couldn't stand the thought of Nina trying to ruin my image, and now, my mom's threat. Everything lingered in my heart as I finally gathered the strength to make the call. ***** It was still early when I arrived in New York, driving through the quiet hours of the morning so I could meet my schedule. First, I had to visit her. I arrived at her building exactly at seven a.m. I knew they were still preparing for work and school. That was the perfect time to come over. Taking a deep breath, I stretched out my muscles, they felt sore from the long drive and the previous day's e

Olivia's POV I felt a mix of excitement as I pulled open the door to the mansion, holding the brown envelope containing the results in my hands. “Honey, I’m…” I trailed off, my gaze meeting his angry expression, etched with frustration. “What’s the issue?” I inquired, the envelope slipping from my hand and landing on the couch as I walked up to him, placing my hands on his shoulders. “Take those filthy hands off me,” he barked, taking my hands forcefully off his shoulders. I winced in pain, clutching my wrist. “What have I done?” I asked, perplexed. I had just left the house to go to the hospital and confirm if I was truly pregnant. We shared a happy, beautiful moment together before I left. So why the sudden change? It was unlike him. “I want a divorce,” he snapped. His words making my feet to tremble, and I paused to regain my composure, taking a deep breath. “What did you say?” I asked, not sure if I had heard him correctly, those words weren't adding up. “Are you d

FOUR YEARS AFTERLiam's POV“Son, come over. We are already seated,” Mum called out as soon as I opened the door.A slight grin formed on my face as I walked over to the dining room where they were seated. I greeted everyone before taking my seat next to Dad.Dad groaned, clearing his throat, and I flinched, already knowing what he wanted to say each time he made that sound.“Liam, when are you going to marry again? It's been four years since you divorced Olivia, and yet you've refused to remarry. Do you know the consequences of your negligence?” he spewed, and I almost repeated his words verbatim. He had said this over a thousand times since Olivia left.“Honey, just let him be. He's just arrived and hasn't even touched his food,” Mum said, feeling concerned.My gaze shifted to Dominic. I knew he was going to say something, and as usual, he didn’t disappoint.“Mum, let Dad speak. I just don’t like how he chooses to be one-sided. Am I not also his son? If Liam has refused to remarry,

Liam's POV Darkness!Everything became numb. No sign of life. The air around me thickened. I couldn't understand what was happening. Everything seemed faded.The noise around me increased. I tried to open my eyes, but they were so damn heavy.“What's happening?” I asked myself.My entire body felt numb; I could barely lift a finger. I tried, and just then, one finger moved. Then another. Finally, my palm.The noises around me grew louder, a slight surge of pain coursing from my head down to my toes.I tried to blink, to open my eyes, but my eyelids quivered. Then, I finally managed to open one eye. A sudden, consuming brightness nearly blinded me, forcing me to shut it quickly.It was too bright.Brighter than I could handle.I absorbed the light and slowly opened my eyes again, adjusting to the brightness.As my vision cleared, I took in my surroundings. A white ceiling stretched above me. My gaze drifted toward the source of the noise, but suddenly, everything fell silent.A woma

“Please, can you let me in?” His voice was soft and cold, its coolness almost sinking into my heart as always.I shook my head vigorously. “Get the heck out of this place now!” I barked yet again, moving over to my bed and collapsing onto it.His pleas, words, and excuses all drowned in my unconscious state. I pressed my hands against my ears, my head buried in the pillows…******Few days laterI slowly opened my eyes, my body weak beneath the duvet. I tried to lift myself, but I fell back hard against the bed.Three days, yet it hadn’t been easy letting go of the pain. It was too much. I hissed, rolling onto my side.I held my hands to my face, yawned, and glanced toward the window.Shocked, I snapped my head toward the clock, which hung perfectly on the nightstand.I gasped, forcing my body up despite the lingering weakness. Hurrying through my morning routine, I freshened up and soon found myself in the living room.“Cutie,” I called out. “Mum’s waiting for you,” I added, putting

My ears pressed against the door of the room, my heart racing as curiosity surged through me. I gasped, wondering who the hell was defiling such a large working atmosphere as this.The whimpers continued. Soft and wild groans filling the air.They broke through my resolve, unexpectedly filling me with bitterness.A desire to break through this door.As I pressed my ear closer, leaning against the door, my entire body froze. My hands clutched at my chest, and the heavy beats of my heart echoed in my ears.I reached up, covering my mouth with one hand to stifle my gasp.“What?” I screamed aloud, unable to hold back my words.I was certain, that was his voice when he spoke.“You’re enjoying it, right?”That voice couldn’t be mistaken. It was certainly his.I fought the compelling urge to run; to flee as fast as my legs could carry me. My instincts screamed at me, but I struggled against the storm of emotions swirling inside me, my heart aching with hurt and betrayal.Still, I remained ro
