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 125The dog moved with strange, deliberate purpose—head low, tail stiff—as it crossed the living room. It stopped in front of the door leading into the kitchen and began scratching the wood, whining in a thin, anxious thread of sound.Sandra's scream tore through the room.“Get it out! Please—get it out of here!”Darcy flinched at the outright panic lacing her voice. “Sandra, what's wrong with you?”Kelvin felt the hair rise along his arms. Her fear wasn't theatrical; it was primal.Already, Jack was moving. In two strides he reached the door, twisted the handle, and flung it open; the dog shot inside like a bullet.Kelvin couldn't see into the kitchen from where he was standing, but he heard Jack's breath catch—just once, sharp. The dog had stopped moving. Its nails clicked on tile. Then a soft whimper.Kelvin looked over at Jack, and Jack gave him a quick glance. Kelvin knew what it meant: Move.He pushed off the wall and crossed to the hall door, planting his back against it, blocking

Chapter: Chapter 124No sooner had Bill Darcy entered the lounge than the telephone began ringing sharply."Get that!" he yelled.Darcy walked toward the liquor cabinet, drawing out a bottle of scotch as if its weight calmed him, while Malcolm moved swiftly, crossing to the phone. Lifting the receiver, Malcolm listened, winced, and then looked at Darcy, who was splashing ice with liquor."It's Captain Whitely," Malcolm whispered. "Says it's urgent."Darcy reached for the phone and, with his free hand, lit a cigarette after downing half the drink in one tilt of the glass."What now?" he mumbledWhitely's voice crackled down the line, breathless and shaking.“A report just came in—it’s going to blow a hole in everything.”Darcy stiffened. "Speak.""Sean Harris is dead. Shot. Fifteen minutes ago."Darcy held the glass of drink tightly.“What the hell are you talking about?“One of my men saw Kelvin—the kid you're hunting—talking with Sean near the waterfront hotel,” Whitely said. “He tried questioning Kelvin

Chapter: Chapter 123Kelvin stood in the small corridor and felt his stomach turn with every shot. The muffled sound of automatic gunfire shook the ceiling. He leaned against the wall, breathing through his mouth and still tasting copper. The only sound was coming from above, and everyone's attention was on the building.He went up the stairs carefully, feeling his way along the banister. Every shot seemed to reverberate inside his mind. The street door was at the bottom of the stairs, dimly lit by the orange glow of the city outside. He paused before it.Kelvin struck a match. The brief light showed cracked wallpaper and a filthy hall stool. Now he heard the sirens, closer, circling. Police were close. He opened the door and stepped into the refreshing night after snuffing out the match.A flurry of lights and shouting filled the pedestrian street. Police officers escorted bystanders out of the blocked block. Gunfire could still be heard from Sean's building. He turned up his collar, hunching his shoulde

Chapter: Chapter 122The night was shattered with gunfire. They had been listening to it for three minutes, each blast a hammer to their skulls. Lena flattened herself against the wall, her expression ghostly white with fear. Sean sat on the side of the bed, his gun resting in his lap with a finger on the trigger guard.“He should never have run off,” Lena continued to shiver. “It’s my fault. He’ll be killed.” "Shut up!" Sean said, without looking at her. "Let me listen." The booted sound pounded over the roof above their heads, followed by another spatter of fire—this time nearer. Dust shook from the ceiling.Sean was muttering to himself, "I had no idea he had a gun. He's shooting it out with them!"Lena put her palms over her ears. But—hear me out—aren't two guns firing?Sean didn't move. Two different bursts, one slower and heavier than the other, began to overlap as they rolled through the building like an echo in the alley.A beat later, he nodded and said, "Yeah," and the pulse in his neck quickene

Chapter: Chapter 121The first thin drops of rain began to fall again. Kelz moved like a shadow through the darkness, his boots slipping on damp tiles, his mind a tangle of agony and calculation.Men like him did not have that luxury, so he was not supposed to be afraid. He couldn't get the image of Darcy's face out of his head—just so quiet, emotionless, frigid words that were heard more menacingly than a bullet to the brain. You fail me once, Kelz… you'll wish the cops had found you first.And Kelz had failed. Sean Harris was still breathing.He wiped the rain from his face and stayed low as he and Slize crawled over the roofline of the Washington block. Below, sirens wove through the night like restless ghosts. The cops were closing the net, every alley, every stairwell.Kelz's breath steamed in the chill. His shoulder throbbed from where he'd slammed into a railing earlier, but he didn't stop. He couldn't. Darcy's punishment wasn't just death-it was disgrace, erasure. Once Darcy blacklisted you, no on

Chapter: Chapter 120The low groan was the first sound Kelvin registered. Then a voice, faint but strained."Guess I might have passed out," Sean said, his eyes wide open. He tried to get up, grimmacing and putting his hand on his shoulder. "I feel like my arm's been cut off." How long have we been here?Kelvin dusts his sleeves after placing his feet on the floor. "In about thirty minutes," he whispered, looking down to the curtain to the window.The smell of the room was of old wood and damp plaster, and the corners were dark with shadows, only half-illuminated by the orange glow from the street outside."What is happening outside?" Sean asked."That is a tough question to answer," Kelvin said. It is as if the whole block has been surrounded.'We are stuck,' Sean said in a hoarse whiff."Not yet," he said, but he sounded uncertain. But they will be combing house to house soon, Kelvin explained.Sean shut his eyes a moment and then spoke to the silence, "I'm not sure I could do it myself."Kelvin remaine

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

Not in this way.“Stop!” she exclaimed, fighting desperately.Her defiance only appeared to arouse him even more. His lips clung to her neck, his hold intensifying.Then—boom!The force of the blow threw Marcus backward. 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. His eyes were jet black, unsettlingly void of spirit, and his posture exuded primal, perilous strength. The air in the corridor grew heavy, electrified by his rage.Bella’s heart raced.Dave bent down, his hand grasping around Marcus’s neck. With ease, he raised him from the ground. Marcus gasped for breath, his arm dangling loosely.Three hybrids navigated through the crowd. Morgan and Ben grabbed Marcus, holding onto his shoulders and arms.

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. Female werewolves would murder for feeling this ba

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
