Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

Secrets and silence

JARED'S POV

secrets were better left unsaid because of the impact they bore.

As I walked, Arielle's cabin my destination, the weight of the conversation I had with Mrs Meyers settled heavily on my shoulders. I couldn't imagine how hard it must have been for Mrs. Meyers to bear such a secret all these years if it was this hard for me. Indeed, some I soon rounded the corner leading to Arielle's cabin, but I was stunned to find Dwayne squatting at the entrance, his eyes fixed intently on the floor. I felt curious immediately and slowed my pace, trying not to startle him.

He looked up at me, his expression unreadable. "Arielle said she's resting and she asked me not to come in."

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his response. "So you're just sitting here waiting for her?"

He shrugged, seemingly unbothered by my question. "Yep, pretty much," he replied, looking away.

I glanced at him, hesitating for a moment. I was unsure if I should share what I had just learned with him, but something about his demeanor made me think he might already know more than he was letting on. After all, it was he who asked me to go to the security room, and I think it was a cue to see and hear things for myself. But I decided to ask anyway.

"So, about Mrs Meyers, you know what's going on, don't you?" I asked, lowering my voice slightly.

"All right."

I mumbled gratefully, taking a seat next to her in the bed. "Firstly, I wanted to apologize about Sofia. I'm really sorry about what happened." Surprisingly she shook her head, her expression softening. "It's okay, Jared. I don't blame you
