All Chapters of When Regret Isn't Enough: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Olivia could feel his words so profoundly within her; Collin was the first man to caress her heart instead of her body. He persuaded her heart and soul in such a short period. She covered her face with her hands, thinking, I can't be falling in..?! Olivia closes her eyes even tighter before she utters the word love in her mind. No! She couldn't be! Olivia knew she had been doing everything in her power to avoid it. She leaned away, releasing hold of him, and said, “I'm sorry, I need to go to the ladies room.”"Sure, no problem," Collin said. She entered the restroom, looking at herself in the mirror. Olivia says in her trembling voice, “I'm so disappointed in myself! Everything I did all these years was in vain. I had kept myself busy, continually working, not taking any guy seriously. All I wanted was to have a good time, and how did I allow it to turn into this? I never let any male get close enough to me to gain feelings for them. I promised myself I wasn't going to get involved. T

“What do you mean, Holland, you can’t do it?”Holland's mother knows what he’s about to say. He wants Amanza as his wife again.“But what if this is your baby?” She interjects.“If this is my child, I want to be a father to the baby. “Holland! Then what do you mean you can’t do it!” His mother yelled at him. His mother was upset to see him back in the waiting room.“I can’t be in there with her. With Susie, mom! I don’t even know if I’m the father of that child! It doesn’t feel right.” “You are talking nonsense! You get back in there with your child, Holland!” “No, Mother! Only a DNA test can prove I’m the father, and that is my child! And that’s what I’m here to make sure of, that this child gets to know who is rightfully his or her father.”“How did you get to be so ridiculous and cruel?!” She said angrily, turning her back to Holland. His mother was so upset she began to cry. “Mom, you really want a grandchild desperately? Don’t you?” “Yes! I only had one baby, and that’s you.

It was high-pressure, fast-paced, and exciting but stressful working for her dad. Yet, Amanza needed to stay busy. At the end of my work day, all she had the energy to do was come home, kick off my stilettos, and plop down on her comfy sofa. Amanza took her job very seriously. When her father made her boss she told him she was ready for any challenge. She fought tooth and nail against every competitor to make sure Diamond are forever Designed jewelry was up the ranks in Paris and other countries. In her short time here as president, she’d opened several successful stores within the UK. But lately, she has been craving a slower pace. Right now as the boss she needs a vacation or a break. After all the work she’s done, Amanza knows she’s earned one.But she’s been hesitating to select vacation time because her personal life is in limbo and things weren't simple or clear between her Holland. Amanza needed certain questions answered. Has Holland found out if Susie’s baby is his? Will th

"So please accept my sincere apology for all the pain I caused you.""I'm also truly sorry about bringing Susie into our life and marriage. I realize now she had no business there. I feel bad about that. I didn't want you to leave. I didn't think I would ever see you again. And then that storm happened, and it was the perfect storm. It brought us back together. I can't forget how my eyes were opened in so many ways."I felt a little embarrassed. I ate my light breakfast and ordered another glass of tea.Holland had eggs over easy and broiled salmon. Two men walked past our table and smiled at me.I saw the scowl on Holland's face, "Why are you frowning?""I don’t like when men check you out like I'm not sitting here. Granted, you are beautiful, and I would have difficulty keeping my eyes off you too.""In Mexico, you could care less if guys were staring at me. I don't recall that ever bothering you.""Well, today, it is getting under my skin. I have been this way, trust me. I can’t hel

"So, where are we going now?" I asked Holland as he drove off."I know you think I forgot all your pleasure spots and points, and even though it's been years, if I don't do this one thing, you will be out of here on the fastest plane leaving tomorrow. But, of course, knowing you, you'll probably take off while I'm sleeping if I fail to do this one thing.""What on earth on you talking about now? Are you sure you are describing the right person? I'm not that young lady you met in Mexico who was easily impressed. So whatever you think you still know about me, I could have changed.""I don't think so..." Holland teased. "You change this one thing I'm talking about? I don't think so. That's unlikely."Holland says, looking over at me as he's driving. "No, when I think about it. I've changed. I probably like doing this more now than I did back then." He said, winking at me.I squinted at him, trying to figure out what he was talking about now."I love it when I have you all worked up and co
