Theodore's Regret 86. The Breakfast Table
Alina's Pov “How are you feeling now?” Theodore asked, joining Asher and me at the breakfast table. It was my fourth day of the cycle, so the pain had thankfully subsided. After the first agonizing day, the weekend had arrived just in time to save my sanity. I dreaded to think how cranky I would have been if I’d had to work through it.Asher was perched on my lap, eagerly accepting bites of fruit I fed him. “I'm alright,” I replied, trying to sound as normal as possible.Theodore didn’t respond immediately, prompting me to look up and face him. His intense gaze, fixed on me and Asher, made my stomach flutter with unease. There was a strange mix of desperation and regret in his eyes. He seemed lost in his thoughts, watching the way I fed Asher. When he realized I was observing him, he quickly cleared his throat and coughed awkwardly.“That's good to hear,” he finally said.“Morning, Daddy!” Asher chirped, his mouth full of a large chunk of apple.“Morning, buddy. Did you sleep well la
Theodore's Regret 87. The Birthday Party
Theodore’s PovI stood in the middle of the grand hall, surveying the scene with a mixture of pride and trepidation. The entire space was transformed into a Superman-themed wonderland. Red, blue, and yellow decorations filled the room. Life-sized cutouts of Superman stood sentinel at the entrance, and banners with Asher's name intertwined with the iconic Superman logo hung from the ceiling. I couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety. This was the first time I had planned anything significant for Asher, and it had to be perfect. It needed to be more than just a birthday party; it had to be a celebration worthy of my son.I had hired the best event planners in town to ensure every detail was flawless. They'd outdone themselves, creating an immersive experience that even an adult would find impressive. There was a station for face painting, a bounce house, and even a mini obstacle course that resembled a superhero training ground. Tables were adorned with Superman-themed plates, cups, an
Theodore's Regret 88. The Dance
Theodore's Pov From across the hall, I saw Elliot approach Alina with that familiar, easy grin plastered on his face. He extended a hand to her, and she hesitated for a moment before accepting. My stomach churned as I watched them step onto the dance floor. The band struck up a jolly tune, and they began to move together, their steps light and carefree. Asher was busy playing nearby, completely oblivious to the tension building within me.I tried to focus on Mr. Robinson's words, nodding and responding appropriately, but my attention was elsewhere. Alina was laughing now, her head thrown back in that way that always made my heart skip a beat. Elliot spun her around, his hand resting on her waist, and I felt a surge of jealousy so strong it almost made me see red.The music shifted, the lively tempo giving way to a slower, more intimate melody. Couples drifted onto the dance floor, swaying in each other's arms. I watched as Elliot pulled Alina closer, their bodies moving in sync. It w
Theodore's Regret 89. Gratitude
Alina's Pov I could still feel the electricity from our dance as I stood there, trying to steady my breath. Theodore's words, his touch, the intensity of our connection—it all lingered in the air around me. But as much as I was caught up in the emotions swirling between us, there was someone else who needed my attention.“Yeah! We should…” my eyes traveled between Thea and Theodore before I continued. “We should cut the cake now.” I was sure my cheeks were completely red by now, my stomach was jittery and I was feeling hot after that little dance Theodore had with me. Man, did he make me feel things. Too many things all at once. I took a few deep breaths before calling out for Asher. I called out, "Asher! Sweetie, come here!"Almost immediately, I heard the sound of his little feet padding across the floor. Asher came running, his Superman cape flapping behind him, a wide grin plastered on his face. He was the picture of joy and innocence, his excitement evident."Mommy!" he exclai
Theodore's Regret 90. Memories
Author's Pov Alina sat cross-legged on her bed, the soft glow of the lamp casting a warm light over the photo album spread out before her. She traced a finger over the images of Asher, her heart swelling with a mixture of pride and sorrow. How could it be that four years had flown by so quickly? It felt like just yesterday that she and Thea had gone for that first ultrasound, the tiny flicker of a heartbeat promising so much joy and change. Her eyes lingered on a photo of Asher as a baby, his cherubic face alight with laughter as he played on a picnic blanket. She remembered that day vividly, the scent of fresh grass, Thea’s laughter echoing through the park, and the sheer happiness that had enveloped her. But now, her baby was growing up, transforming into the little gentleman she had always hoped he would be. A tear slipped down her cheek as she marveled at the swift passage of time, feeling a pang of sadness at how fleeting those early years had been.Lost in her reverie, she did
Theodore's Regret 91. You Are Fired
Alina's Pov I was immersed in the sea of reports scattered across my desk, the muted hum of my computer a familiar background noise. The overhead lights cast a soft glow, accentuating the neat rows of bookshelves lining the walls of my office cabin. My coffee, long since gone cold, sat forgotten at the edge of my desk. Just another typical day of juggling deadlines and expectations.A soft knock at the door pulled me out of my reverie. I glanced up to see Jacob, one of the office assistants, standing in the doorway, his face slightly flushed from hurrying around.“Miss Stacy, someone’s here to see you,” he said, his tone polite but with an undercurrent of urgency.I arched an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “Who is it?”“Someone named Elliot,” Jacob replied, glancing at the small notepad in his hand as if to confirm the name. “He’s waiting for you in the lobby.”Elliot? What could possibly bring him here, out of the blue? I felt a mix of surprise and a flutter of excitement. It had been s
Theodore's Regret 92. Feeling Good
Theodore's PovI couldn't fucking take it anymore. There was no way I could let that bastard put his claim on Alina while I just stand and do nothing. So I knew I had to tear the contract. The contract never meant anything in the first place. It was just a way to keep her bound to me. And now that I could finally see her feelings, how she was getting comfortable around me and not altogether opposed to the idea of living with me or even just breathing the same air as I was breathing, I knew just a few more punches and the wall would collapse. As for the fucking Elliot, I think I'll have to meet him on person and show him his place. But for now, I concentrated on kissing the precious woman who tasted like sweet candy. She melted in my hold as I sucked on her soft rosy lips. And they way she responded back had me hardening in seconds. This girl could send me to hell and I would go there gladly. That's the hold she had on me. If only she knew. I pushed into her, caging her against the do
Theodore's Regret 93. The Love of My life
Theodore's Pov The moment I stepped out of the elevator, my lips latched onto Alina in a passionate kiss. She wasted no time in kissing me back with the same eagerness. “Jump!” I hoarsed against her lips after I was sure the penthouse was empty. Anders had taken Asher out to the park as per my wish. Which means I had quite some time alone with my woman to cherish her. Alina complied to my command, hopping up my hands wasted no time in securing her my hold, my palms holding her soft butt. I gave it a harsh squeeze, earning a moan from her sinful lips. My crotch was standing erect and she was making it so much more painful with those seductive hip movements against it. If this continues any longer, I could guarantee I would pass out. But I'd pass out as a happy man. Ecstatic even. I crossed the distance to my room and kicked the door open with a loud thud. Alina's perfect hands worked her way on my tie before she pulled it off of me in a jaste and tossed it somewhere in the room. Nex
