The CEO's Regret: Mommy, Daddy Wants Us Back!
I glare at him, fighting the urge to reach across the table and slap that smug look off his face. “What do you want from me?”
His gaze intensifies, and he leans back, crossing his arms over his chest. “I want you. Back in my life, back in my bed. Where you belong.”
“Belong?” I spit the word out, my hands trembling with anger. “I’m not something you own, Rhys.”
“It’s a start,” he says, his voice unwavering. “And I know you, Cassie. Deep down, you still feel the same way I do. You can’t deny it.”

Rhys Sinclair had shattered Cassandra Howard's world six years ago, leaving her heartbroken and pregnant. He had abandoned her for his first love, severing all ties and leaving Cassie a devastated wreck. But Cassie had found the strength to move on. She had endured the harshness of life, raising her daughter, Evie, on her own with fierce determination and boundless love.
Now, out of the blue, Rhys Sinclair had walked into the local diner where she worked, demanding a place back in her life. He had no idea that the daughter he had left behind even existed, his audacity slicing through her hard-earned peace like a knife. The sight of him brought a flood of memories—both sweet and bitter—crashing down, and she struggled to keep her composure as emotions she thought she'd buried long ago began to surface.
