My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret
Lilian's life shattered on their third wedding anniversary when she walked in to see her husband, Chris, embracing his ex-girlfriend, whom he had promised to move on from, passionately. The injury worsened upon discovering that she was carrying his child. Chris had secretly ensured that Lilian remained on birth control because he didn't want to have a child with her, despite being ready for parenthood, a decision that devastated Lilian, who longed for a family. She was not treated as a partner but rather as a mere convenience and placeholder in his life.
During an intense disagreement, Chris slapped her causing her to tumble down the stairs. The fall completely shattered her emotional and physical well-being, challenging her views on marriage, love, and trust. However, determined and steadfast, Lilian vowed to protect herself from his lies and control, ending her connection with the man who had brought her great pain.
Chris returned with a strong determination to regain her love just as she was beginning to rebuild her life. He refused to let her go, expressing his realization of his deep love for her. His newfound passion for her was both confusing and infuriating. At the same time, a mysterious stranger entered her life—a man whose quiet admiration for her had endured from the shadows. He offered a love untainted by deceit, a fresh start filled with genuine respect and devotion.
Now, Lilian faces an impossible choice: Does she risk her heart again on the man who shattered it, believing his promises of change and redemption?

Chapter: Chapter 78The drive back was quiet, that heavy hush that stretched and pinched its way into Lilian's brain. Yellow and white stripes of streetlights blazed on the windshield. Chris's absence at the Chamber of Commerce event hung in her chest like a rock she couldn't shake.She had worked through at least three versions of how to tell him if she did call him by the time she pulled into her driveway. Each softened to the point where there was little to no part of it left—just as had occurred so often before.Her phone rang as she came indoors. Chris's name lit up the screen.She stared at it for a moment before picking up. "Chris."His tone was smooth, as if everything was fine. "Lilian. Heard the affair went well. Well done."A scalding laugh had reached her throat, but she stifled it. "That is interesting. I did not notice that you were present to witness it yourself."There was a pause, one hardly noticeable. "Something came up," he said at last. "Could not be avoided."Her hand on the phone f

Chapter: Chapter 77What did Lilian really want? The notion nagged her like a voice that would not give up. Was she playing with Jack, or did she really want him? The boundary was transgressed too many times to be good for her. Even as certain as she was to finally break free from Chris, a gnawing part of her fretted that she was transgressing the boundary in the wrong direction.She didn't want to hurt Jack—especially if he was honest. But fear grabbed her: she was hanging on to him like a lifeline because he kept her from remembering Chris, and he kept the pain hidden.She tightened her grip on the steering wheel. Is it really that terrible? The reasoning kept going round and round in circles. Humans needed other humans to accomplish things of all varieties of labor. Some for love. Some for protection. Some to knock them down. Was it so awful to want Jack because he was giving her a break from grief?A horn honked somewhere behind her, surprising her. She had slowed down without even realizing it. She

Chapter: Chapter 76"I don't know what you're talking about, Adrian," Kelvin said with contempt. "I said I was at home that night."But Adrian would not relent. He came in hard and slashing. "I think you're lying. Did you visit her apartment?""I said I didn't!" Kelvin leapt to his feet, spilling his drink. "Are you deaf?"Adrian stood back, his face white, his eyes welling up with horror. "They described to us the man they were after. Dark, tall, your age." Adrian's voice was building into a scream as his denials were in punches. "And in a battered rusty black Pontiac." He pointed a shaking finger out the window, where Kelvin's car glowed white under a streetlamp. "Go on, Kelvin, were you with her?"The air thickened and became heavy, and every sentence hung on Kelvin like a weighty chain. He stood, he imagined himself, in Adrian's eye, filled with anger."I didn't do it!" Kelvin's voice shook, and he automatically recoiled, his hand lashing Adrian's arm, craving reassurance. "You have to listen, Adrian.

Chapter: Chapter 75Kelvin stood frozen where he was, his own face contorted by a jolt of shock. Adrian strolled along the twisting path, slumped shoulders, downward-glancing eyes darkening. He wasn't the confident, neatly dressed friend Kelvin was used to."I need to speak with you," Adrian said to him."Let's go inside," Kelvin said quietly as he pushed open the door to welcome Adrian into the living room. Kelvin cursed himself inwardly at the mess within—books lay scattered everywhere, cushions wildly scattered, and even the coffee table had been scratched from his mad searching session earlier. He felt a heat rise to his face. "Sorry for the mess." I, uh, lost something. Been searching for it all night."Adrian did not seem to listen. He crossed over to the window armchair and collapsed into it, his bulk seeming to fill out the worn cushions. His face was ghastly pale in the bad light, his hands shaking a little on the chair arms, fingers drumming a rhythm Kelvin knew all too well.“If you’ve got a d

Chapter: Chapter 74Kelvin's unease strained to a breaking point as he strode back and forth in the center of the lounge, the room laughing at him good-naturedly with emptiness. He launched his look about furiously, his eyes running over the coffee table, the couch, the borders of the carpet, as though the book had fallen into some unseen crevice. His rational brain knew it wasn't there; he'd looked in every nook and cranny in desperation. But his head refused to be rationalized, still reeling crazily in a vicious circle of the same thing:What did I do with it?He tried to reel back, but the recollections were hazy, as though they'd been scrubbed away. There was a hut. The meeting with the car attendant. That shock of suspicion he'd felt, feeling that book was a risk, one he'd forgotten in his haste to leave. And then. nothing. He recalled pushing the small, tattered book into his pocket, but his thoughts after that were a vacuum.The options churned and bubbled in his mind. If he'd left it there, anyon

Chapter: Chapter 73"Are you sure you're doing the right thing, Lilian?" Doris asked over the phone, worry corrugating her tone. She had called to inquire whether they could spend time together—something they'd both neglected in the wake of Lilian's attack. Doris had been overseas in China when it happened, on an important work assignment, and hadn't returned until a few days prior.Lilian hesitated, lacing her flats by the front door. Her lips were clamped into a tight smile. "I'm sure. I think this is the best way to get over Chris. I mean—how else am I going to fall in love with someone else if I don't make myself available?"She'd admitted to the fact: those hesitant, uncertain kisses with Jack. Weeks, they'd been creating—banishing isolation, constructing hope—but only a brief touch had happened.Doris swallowed, thought. "Yeah, but don't you think you're rushing into this—how long have you known him?""Four and a half months," Lilian said, brushing a lock of hair from behind her ear. "But wait, why

Chapter: Tangled Fate“Well, hello, Dave. Hello, Bella. It’s nice to finally meet you… like this,” a male voice rang out with unmissable amusement. His voice oozed mischief, and one didn’t need a name tag to guess — it had to be Morgan.“Hi, Bella,” said a girl with a gentle, open smile. Her warmth was genuine — that was Sandra.A warmer, softer voice greeted her with a gentler "Hello." Ben.Bella said a subdued "Hi" into Dave's chest, pressing deeper into the fabric of his shirt as her own heart thudded like a war drum. She could not make herself lift her eyes to any of them. Dave's chest rose beneath her cheek, his laughter gentle but reassuring“Sugar,” he whispered, his voice deep and amused, “are you ever going to come out and meet everyone properly?”Bella shook her head quickly, eyes still shut. There was too much to process — too many strangers, too many eyes. But in a sudden gesture, Dave's soft, commanding hand went to her head, his palm cupping her crown with a gentle pressure. He drew her in, pr

Chapter: Tangled HeartsBella's lips opened, and her eyelids closed as Dave kissed her. The kiss began soft and gentle but intensified as he deepened it, burning them with a burst of energy. His hand around her waist held her pressed against him, and her fingers pushed against his smooth hair. Her heart raged, begging to burst forth from her chest.They pulled away at the same time, gasping for air, their gazes fixed, and breathing hard. Bella tiptoed for more, and Dave eagerly leaned down to capture her lips again.Their lips moved together, urgency building. Dave's tongue found entrance into her mouth, their tongues tangling and teasing. His kiss intoxicated her."Sugar," he moaned. His mouth traveled down her jaw and neck. She rolled her hips, and he growled.He pulled his face out of hers, gasping for breath. She sensed his thumping heart next to hers. Her hair was mussed, her lips puffy, red-looking. Longings scrambled his brain when he saw her."Good heavens," he gasped, running his hands through rump

He collided with the other wall and collapsed to the floor.A murmur spread among the assembled students.Dave loomed above him, his face giving nothing away.

Chapter: Stolen GlancesSunlight streamed in the window in the morning when Bella was standing in front of the mirror and evaluating her appearance. Something was wrong. Her skin was softer, glowing as if it had been kissed with moonlight. Her brown eyes were no longer dull. They were mesmerizing, hypnotic, and more radiant. Her eyelashes were longer, outlining them with deep, rich curves, and her eyebrows developed a stunning arch, dramatic yet subtle. Even her fuller, redder lips were glossy as if she had just wet them.She stroked her hair, enjoying the way the curls fell in a way never before, darker than ever, flashing light in hypnotic waves. Her body also altered, subtly, noticeably different. Her waist was more defined, hips more curvy, bust promising cleavage she never did before. Her jeans did not fit in the same manner before, the waistband a closer band than she was ever accustomed to.What's wrong with her?A frown tugged at the edge of her lip.

Chapter: Marked against WillBella's stomach twisted as she entered the house and half-packed boxes scattered everywhere in the living room caught her eye. Some were tidily stacked and arranged for the move, but most of their belongings were still in their original positions. Her chest sank with a feeling of falling. Her mom had taken extra effort—packed and planned—but something was amiss. Too hurried. Too excited.She walked in the direction of the kitchen, hoping her mother would be rapidly filling up more, but instead discovered her sitting at the old wooden table, blankly staring out of the window. A steaming mug of tea rested in her hands, undrunk. The atmosphere surrounding her was thick and nearly oppressive."Mom?" Bella called softly.Her mother's eyes closed hard for a moment before she swung around to Bella, wearing a fake smile that did not touch her eyes. "Wow, you have returned."The forced cheerfulness in her tone sent danger signals racing through Bella's mind. Something was amiss."Mom, is somet

Chapter: Soul TiesAndy bolted out of the room, his exit swift and desperate. No one could blame him. If she had the choice, Bella would have done the same. But that option wasn’t hers anymore.Morgan slapped Dave reassuringly on the back, his face unreadable, and Sandra smiled uncertainly, knowingly at Bella as she departed. Ben stood longer, a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. His slow, widening smile was close to being lazy and untroubled. Winking roguishly, he clouted Dave on the back and departed, leaving Bella and Dave in solitude.The silence hung heavy and oppressive."Hi," Bella growled cautiously, smoothing the hem of her blouse into position.Dave didn't say anything. He just stood there, his intense eyes burning her.He was beautiful today. Dark wash jeans. A black T that hugged his body like a second skin. A cool leather jacket, scuffed just enough to give the impression he didn't care. His dark, rich hair, perpetually slightly undone in an intentional but careless way, accentuated his shar
