They’d been home several weekends, and because Owen wanted to carry out his promise of dating Regina as she deserved, every weekend had been a surprise. One weekend, they took a quick trip to the desert resort, where they went to a museum shaped like a dinosaur and hiked along a river that led to a small waterfall, where they stripped to their swimsuits and cooled off. Next weekend, they went to a remote mountain cabin with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, giving them a view of the surrounding areas, where they witnessed wildlife strolling around, grazing, and looking for food. The weekend after that, they went to the coast, walked around the city center, and visited the aquatic museum. Whenever they returned to the hotel or cabin, the couple ended the evenings with a romantic dinner and then make love until they fell asleep in each other’s arms. Regina was getting spoiled and tired at the same time. She enjoyed Owen making the effort to spend time with her and treat her to such

A, Regina betrayed us. That bitch betrayed our trust! I saw her invite Owen to her apartment, so I followed them. How did I not see it happening? We were watching her closely, but Owen still got through. She welcomed him with open arms. I saw them kiss, and I was so mad, but I did not leave. I had to find out how deep their feelings were for each other. That dick was arrogant. He didn’t close the drapes, thinking nobody was watching, when we know there’s always someone in the dark. So I saw everything they did. And that tramp, I thought she was decent. Different from all the other women we’ve encountered. I didn’t care that she always sunbathed naked. I even enjoyed it, knowing she displayed her body for us, but Owen and his filthy hands ruined that memory. The other day, you won’t believe it. They had sex right on the daybed, in full view of the world. She opened her legs eagerly for Owen, and if you saw what they did. I know you’d be pissed, too. But you know what? I watched

Regina tried to find time to visit Tesoro after they returned from Paris, but ever since the late-night visits with Owen became frequent, she had no time in the morning to drop by. To compensate for her cravings, Owen sent someone to deliver her favorite treats to his mother’s house daily. But now that they were living together and didn’t need to wake up early, they had enough time to sleep. Owen left early that morning for another early meeting, so Regina visited Tesoro to get her treats and say hi to the staff. Jason had been equally busy with the expansion of the menu ever since his training, so he had been busy talking to suppliers and local farmers to establish his new recipes. “Hey, Miss Beautiful, I haven’t seen you around lately. Have you found another cafe to get your treats from?” Regina laughed. It had been more than a week since she moved in with Owen, and though she loved being with him, it had been a while since she felt like laughing. The tension they shared over

Regina was so proud of herself after nailing down the pictures to the walls and re-decorating Owen’s condo with their pictures that she did not have time to make dinner. So, to surprise Owen, she got food for dinner. “Where the heck were you, Regina?” She was so surprised that she dropped all her purchases on the floor. “I went to get us food. Did you not get my message?” She replied as she closed the door and picked up the bags to bring them to the kitchen. “I did, but that was before I left my mother’s house. It’s been hours.” He looked at the labels on the bags and he sneered. “I see you couldn’t wait to go to your other boyfriend’s cafe as soon as you left my house.” “What are you talking about? I got us sushi and some Chinese noodles.” Regina pointed to the bags on the counter, and she understood why he thought she went to see Jason. She was cleaning up her car and stuffed some of the takeout food in a paper bag without noticing that it was a bag from Tesoro. “Don’t deny it.

“Where were you?” Owen asked as soon as she entered the Bennet mansion. “Are you here to grill me, Mr. Bennet? I still have time before my shift, so I have nothing to explain.” “I did not see you when I got up. I was just wondering if you had breakfast.” “Really? Is that why you came to my place to check if I’ve been there?” Owen closed his eyes briefly and sighed. He forgot to tell Jeffrey not to say anything to Regina, so of course the old man tattled on him. “Okay, you got me. I was concerned that I drove you away, and you went home when it’s still dangerous out there.” “Oh yeah, I bet you checked for me at Tesoro because you were so concerned about my safety, too.” “How did you know? Did Jason call you?” “No, of course not. I know you, Owen. That’s probably the first place you checked.” “Okay, fine I did. Who cares?” “I do. It’s because you don’t trust me.” Regina looked at him, waiting for an excuse or an argument, and since there was none, she pushed to get past him. “E
