Billionaire's First Love Returns From The Dead

Raylen Vale seems to lead a charmed life. He heads multiple multi-million dollar enterprises, is married to a beautiful and dedicated ex-model wife, and has two adorable children. What's more, he's achieved all this before the ripe old age of thirty-five. Unlike most successful CEOs, he's still young and handsome even when standing beside his gorgeous wife. It's no wonder that the media loves to fawn over his picture-perfect family. So why does he return every winter solstice to the abandoned and unvisited grave of one Delaney Sackville-West? And why does he demand the dearly departed to "Look at me living well while you rot into nothingness" as he paces before the tomb? And why, despite his harsh words, does he envy the soil that gets to wrap itself around her body? Trigger warnings: Suicide, eating disorders.

"So you are finally admitting it."

"Yes."

Kai hops off the table and rubs his neck. "Do you really know what you're doing?"

"No, not really, no."

"Then?" demands Kai, exasperated at his friend's antics.

"I," begins Raylen slowly and cautiously as if his friend will castrate him if he gets his next word wrong, "have absolutely no idea what I am doing. At the same time, I cannot stop myself."

"Raylen," says Kai coldly, "Delaney is dead and buried. No amount of money, coincidental similarities, or regret can bring her back. Do you understand?"

"Of course I do." From Raylen's expression, it's clear that he didn't expect Kai to confront him. "But Kai, I feel like you should understand. When I walk beside Janey I feel like I am on a happy date with Laney, without any resentment from either side from any one of our many fights and disagreements."

"Janus. Allister. Is. Her. Own. Person."

"I know."
