• The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   The New Contract

  Aria's POVMy pupils contracted sharply as I stared at him in disbelief. Chad's gentle voice was still coming through the phone, "Aria, I'm glad you care about me. I promise—I'll protect you…"Kane's gaze turned razor-sharp, and in that moment, I felt like the blood in my veins froze solid.Before I could even react, he shoved me hard against the balcony railing.My back hit the cold metal, sending a jolt of pain through my spine. I gasped."Kane! You've got it wrong! It's not what you think—"I struggled in panic, my fingers clawing helplessly at the railing.From the other end of the phone, Chad's voice rose in alarm. "Aria? What's happening?! Kane! Let her go!"Kane let out a cold, derisive laugh. He raised the phone to his ear, his voice like shards of ice, "She's mine. It's not your place to protect her."Then he hung up without hesitation, cutting off Chad's furious shouting mid-sentence.CR

• The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   He's Dead

  Aria's POVHis kiss crashed down on me—possessive and forceful, leaving no room for resistance. My head tilted back involuntarily, forced to accept the heat of him.Breath by breath, the air was stolen from my lungs, my chest rising and falling rapidly as I whimpered, "There's… nothing between me and him…"My voice came out soft and sticky, soaked in vulnerability. Even I was startled by how breathless and sweet I sounded.That only seemed to push him over the edge.His breathing grew ragged, his movements more urgent, more desperate. Like a man who'd been starved for too long, he gave me no space to resist.Pain mingled with pleasure, crashing over me in waves.I bit down on his shoulder, but he didn't seem to feel it—instead, he let out a low chuckle, pressing a kiss to the corner of my eye where tears had begun to well."Why are you crying?"he murmured, his voice a hoarse whisper. "Weren't you

• The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   He's Changing Too

  Aria's POVThat kiss was possessive and deep, like a dam finally breaking after being held back for too long.My first instinct was to pull away, but Kane's hand cradled the back of my head, holding me in place.I gave in, letting myself drown in the heat of it all.I should've known better—when it came to Kane, I had no defenses."Kane…"I whispered his name, barely audible between our breaths.He didn't respond.Instead, his arms tightened around me, pulling me impossibly close, as if he could anchor both of us with that embrace.I wrapped my arms around his waist, clinging to this fleeting moment of warmth. But then—Bang, bang, bang!A sharp knock on the door sliced through the atmosphere like ice water down my spine.Kane tensed immediately. In one smooth motion, he pulled the blanket over me and sat up, his expression wiped clean of any tenderness."Come in,"he sai

• The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Make Them Pay

  Aria's POVThe moment his eyes locked onto mine, so sharp and unreadable, the dam broke. I couldn't hold it in anymore.I collapsed into his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.His chest was warm and solid, his hand rubbing gentle circles on my back. That steady rhythm grounded me, gave me just enough to breathe."It's okay. I'm here,"he said, voice low and gravelly. Just those few words and the tight coil inside me finally loosened.By the time my tears ran dry, the room had fallen completely still, save for the lingering sounds of my sniffles. I took a deep breath and forced the words out in a whisper barely louder than a breath."They… they took pictures of me…"I felt his entire body stiffen.I told him everything—every awful detail I could remember. Each sentence tore something raw and bleeding from inside me. By the time I finished, I could barely breathe.His face darkened with a fury so fier

• The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Don't Go!

  Aria's POVThe moment I pushed the door open, a wave of silence hit me like a tidal surge.The cold metal of the doorknob bit into my skin, and the sensor light flickered on, illuminating the empty hallway with a sterile glow."Kane?" My voice echoed through the vast, lifeless house.No answer.He wasn't here.The air was still. Cold. Void of his presence.Even his scent—once comforting and familiar—had all but faded.Panic clawed its way up my throat as I raced to the bedroom. I threw myself onto the bed and buried my face in his pillow, desperate to cling to the faint trace of him still lingering there.I ripped open the wardrobe and grabbed one of his shirts, slipping it on like a second skin.The fabric brushed against my bruised arms, but the comfort I once found in his scent—his touch—was gone."Why..." I curled up in the corner of the room, nails digging into my palms until they drew blood.My tears fell freely, splattering against the hardwood floor with a sickening finality.

• The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   I Love You

  Aria's POV"Are you in love with him?"Eden's words hit me like a punch to the gut. My chest tightened, and I couldn't help but flinch.It felt like he had peeled open my heart and exposed the truth I was too afraid to admit. Even breathing suddenly became difficult.He was clearly a seasoned player. My tiny slip-up didn't escape his notice."I've been wondering," he said lazily, swirling his glass. The amber liquid caught the light, glinting like fire. "What is it about you that's got Kane so completely out of his mind?"I froze.What did he just say? That I was the reason Kane was losing it?That couldn't be right… He had to be messing with me.Eden leaned in, his breath warm and laced with alcohol. "Looking at you now… I don't really see what's so special."I swallowed hard.Exactly. I'm not special.Why would Kane lose mind over someone like me?All those restless nights, the twisting ache in my chest—I'd always assumed it was one-sided.Just me, foolishly wrapped up in feelings t
