My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret

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 152
The morning was impossibly quiet.Sunlight crept across Lilian’s living room, tracing soft gold over the floor, her shoes, and the small suitcase by the door. The air itself seemed to pause—waiting.Lilian stood before the mirror, fastening a delicate necklace around her throat. She stared at her reflection for a long moment—not because she doubted, but because she finally knew.This woman—with scars, with memories, with breath still trembling—had come back to life.A soft knock.Jack stood in the doorway, dressed in a simple dark shirt, sleeves rolled up, badge clipped to his belt—but today, he was not just a detective.He was the man who once stood between her and death.The man who guarded without demanding.Who stayed without asking for repayment.He hesitated. “Are you ready?”Lilian smiled gently. “For the first time in a long time… yes.”They walked out together, leaving the door unlocked—she would never again live behind cages she didn’t build.*********The courthouse felt

The city had begun to breathe again.Weeks had passed since the explosion. The news cycle, desperate for new meat, moved on to elections, celebrity scandals, and stock crashes. But for those who lived the story—not watched it—life hadn’t returned to “normal.”Normal was gone.What they had now was… something different.Something raw.Something real.*********Lilian walked through the park near her apartment, clutching a warm paper cup between her palms. Joggers passed. Children laughed. Dogs barked at pigeons—life’s orchestra continuing without apology.Her steps were slow—not because her body was weak, but because she was learning to listen again.To herself.To her heart.To silence.The wind pulled at her hair, sweeping curls across her cheek. She closed her eyes—one breath at a time.Some days, healing felt like a victory.Other days—like climbing a hill barefoot.Today… was somewhere in between.“Lilian.”Her eyes opened.Jack Macon stood a few feet away.The man wasn’t loud—not

Chapter: Chapter 150
The city didn’t wake up gently the next morning. It rose to chaos—buzzing phones, screaming headlines, news presenters breathing into microphones like preachers of disaster.“Explosion in Industrial District—Three Suspects Dead, One Critical!”“Corporate Scandal: Rita Adibo Confirmed Deceased—Connection to Chris Newton Under Investigation.”“Massive Conspiracy Unraveled—Love Affair, Betrayal, Blood Trails.”Every media house feasted.But for the people at the center, it wasn’t news. It was heavy. It was personal.*********Chris Newton sat alone in a silent interrogation room.His once immaculate white shirt was crumpled, his sleeves rolled up, his expensive wristwatch replaced with cold metal cuffs. His hair—a signature slicked-back style—now fell messily across his forehead. He stared blankly at the two-way mirror, eyes swollen and red.It had taken less than twelve hours for everything to crumble.Detective Morrow entered, slow and emotionless. He dropped a file onto the steel tabl

Chapter: Chapter 149
The air tasted like fear.The old underground warehouse—once Darcy’s secret hideout—smelled of rust, fuel, and damp concrete. Concrete pillars towered like silent witnesses, and broken crates lay everywhere, remnants of something darker that once lived there. A baby-blue light flickered from a half-dead fluorescent bulb overhead, casting long haunted shadows that danced across the floor.Rita stood at the center of it all.Her hair, once immaculate and styled to perfection, now clung to her forehead in sweat. Her makeup—smudged, streaked, defeated—betrayed that the confident woman who engineered lives from behind screens and whispers… was now cornered, exposed. Her hands trembled, yet her chin remained raised, defiant.Behind her, stacked unevenly like a careless grave, were metal containers stenciled with faded warnings:HIGH EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL – PROPERTY OF DARCY INDUSTRIES.Explosives. Enough to turn this entire building—and half the surrounding street—into smoke.Kelvin, Lilian, a

Chapter: Chapter 148
A metallic clang echoed across the chamber as the vault fully locked into place. The scent of cold steel and seawater settled into the air—sharp, metallic, and cruel.Jack stepped forward.He had seen death before, chased monsters across alleyways and penthouses…But nothing in twenty years of police work prepared him for this.The cavern opened wider beneath them—a cathedral of syndicate power, its heart beating with flickering screens and vault-like chambers.This was Darcy’s endgame.Even dead, he ruled.Rita straightened despite her handcuffs—her lips curling.“You all thought Darcy ran a gang,” she said softly.“No. He built a marketplace. Information. Women. Power. And Lilian… is the most expensive asset yet.”Kelvin’s fists clenched.“You’re insane.”“No,” Rita whispered, “I’m inevitable.”*********Metal grates extended, forming a walkway above the black water, leading toward the glass cell where Lilian hung suspended in drugged stillness.Jack forced himself forward, bullet

Silence.Not true silence—more like the ringing void that exists only after a world ends. When Lilian opened her eyes, all she saw was white at first, as if the universe had been erased and was still deciding whether to put her back.Then the white faded.Reality returned as smoke, debris, and blood.She was lying on the marble floor of the Newton Foundation lobby. But the lobby was no longer a lobby—it was a graveyard. Glass panels hung like torn wings, shattered furniture lay scattered, and a fire alarm shrieked through the haze like an animal in pain.Bodies moved. Some crawled. Some didn’t.Lilian tried to sit up but her head pounded like a war drum. She touched her temple and came away with red.Memory crashed back—the charity gala, Chris showing up unexpectedly, the confrontation, Rita’s cold smile,and her hand—pressing that small black detonator device.And everything went white.Lilian staggered to her knees.“Help…” she croaked—but her throat was raw, broken.A shape moved

His Broken Vow

His Broken Vow

Bella Manuel, the overlooked Omega of the Greywolf Pack, has spent her life enduring the whispers, the ridicule, and the weight of knowing she will never be more than a background figure in her own pack. But when her long-awaited mate is revealed at a grand birthday celebration, she dares to hope—only to have her heart shattered. He rejects her in front of everyone, leaving her humiliated and broken. Determined not to be the weak, discarded Omega everyone expects her to be, Bella makes a bold choice—she will make him regret ever turning his back on her. But just as she begins to plot her revenge, fate throws an unexpected twist her way. The Moon Goddess, in her infinite wisdom, may have granted her something far greater than a cruel mate—something far more dangerous. A second chance mate. He is powerful. He is ruthless. And he is not fully wolf. Thrown into the path of a Hybrid feared across packs, Bella must decide whether to run from this terrifying new destiny or embrace the fire that burns between them. But is she truly ready to handle a mate whose darkness might consume her? Who is this Hybrid, and can Bella survive the force of his claim?

Chapter: Brutal Demand
The words struck the hall like a curse."...Kill me, stepbrother!"For one suspended heartbeat, nobody moved.Even the chandeliers hanging from the cathedral ceiling seemed to stop swaying.Bella stared in disbelief.Stepbrother?Her pulse thundered in her ears.Dave Stark's massive hand remained locked around Luda's throat, lifting the hybrid several feet off the polished obsidian floor. Luda's boots dangled uselessly, yet the grin on his bruised face only widened."You finally heard me," Luda rasped through the crushing grip. "Or have you spent all these years pretending I never existed?"Dave's crimson eyes burned like molten fire."You should have stayed buried."His voice barely sounded human.It carried two distinct tones—as though another creature shared his throat.Inside Bella, Hilda whimpered."He's losing control..."Bella swallowed hard.No...This wasn't merely rage.Something darker had awakened inside her mate.Something ancient.***********The crowd instinctively retr

Chapter: Claimed Fury
The growl that echoed beyond the estate walls hadn't belonged to a wolf.It hadn't belonged to a vampire either.It was older.Stronger.Ancient enough to make even immortals instinctively bow their heads.For only a heartbeat.Then silence reclaimed the ballroom.Lord Shevek's crimson eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly before he forced his attention back to the ceremony.But Bella noticed.He had recognized that roar.Or perhaps...He feared its owner.**************The shattered entrance doors remained open behind Sandra, Morgan, and Kieran.Cold wind swept through the enormous chamber, carrying the scent of pine forests and rain.Every vampire in the ballroom had abandoned their seats.Some hissed.Others bared their fangs.Several noble elders silently prepared themselves for battle.Sandra stepped forward confidently.Unlike everyone else, she wasn't intimidated by hundreds of bloodthirsty vampires glaring at her."Forgive the dramatic entrance," she said coolly."But we weren't

Chapter: Broken Rite
The ballroom remained cloaked in darkness.For three endless seconds, the silence was absolute.Then—A savage growl rolled through the hall.Not from a vampire.Not from one of the guests.It was unmistakably the warning roar of a dominant hybrid.Bella stiffened.Hilda surged inside her."That growl...""I know."It was the same one they had heard in the forest.The same unseen protector who had frightened Luda away before he could pursue her deeper into the maze.Someone had been watching over her all along.Before Bella could search for its source, every chandelier exploded back to life.The hall blazed with crimson light once more.Yet whoever had growled was gone.Not a single face appeared disturbed except Lord Shevek's.His crimson gaze swept across the crowd, searching.Calculating.Then, as if deciding the interruption wasn't worth acknowledging, he smiled.The celebration continued.Bella's heartbeat did not.************Music rose from the orchestra hidden along the marbl

Chapter: Red Veil
That sound refused to leave Bella's thoughts.Even after waking from the nightmare, after hearing the unexpected knock outside her room, after Lord Shevek's visit, one question continued to haunt her.Who had been watching?It hadn't been Luda.She was certain of that now.Whoever had released that low, warning growl had stayed hidden... almost as though they had chosen not to interfere.Someone else knew what had happened in the forest.Someone had witnessed Luda forcing a kiss on her.And whoever it was had remained silent.That realization chilled Bella more than the nightmare itself.**********She sat motionless on the edge of the enormous bed, fingers unconsciously resting over her abdomen.A child.Dave Stark's child.The thought warmed her heart even as fear tightened around it.Hilda stirred quietly inside her."Our pup is safe.""For now," Bella whispered.She remembered the dream again.Dave's golden eyes.The beast inside him.The way he'd looked at her as though she were

Chapter: Secrets
The growl Bella had heard in the forest had not belonged to Luda.Neither had it come from any ordinary predator.Hidden high among the ancient branches, a pair of glowing silver eyes watched every second of the confrontation.The shadow had remained perfectly still while Luda forced himself on Bella.It had watched Bella slap him.Watched her flee.And when Luda disappeared into the woods moments later, the mysterious figure melted silently into the darkness without making another sound.Only one sentence lingered in the air before the forest reclaimed its silence."Not yet..."**********Bella remained frozen beneath the spray of the shower.The sound of the bedroom door opening echoed through the suite.Her pulse thundered.Whoever had entered wasn't trying to hide their presence.Water dripped from her hair onto the marble floor as she quickly shut off the shower.She reached for the nearest towel, wrapping it securely around herself before scanning the spacious bathroom.Nothing.

Chapter: Shattered Trust
The growl that rolled through the forest wasn't Luda's.It was deeper.Older.Predatory.Bella froze for a fraction of a second, her pulse pounding wildly as she tore herself away from Luda's stunned grip. Whatever creature had made that sound was close enough to shake the leaves overhead, yet hidden well enough to remain unseen.Luda's crimson eyes swept through the trees."Who's there?" he barked.Silence answered.Then another low growl vibrated through the undergrowth before fading into the distance.Bella didn't wait to find out who—or what—it belonged to.Anger exploded inside her.Before Luda could recover, she shoved him backward with every ounce of strength she possessed. The force caught him off guard, sending him stumbling several steps.Her palm cracked across his face.The sharp sound echoed through the trees."You'll never touch me again," she hissed, her voice trembling with fury.Luda slowly turned his head back toward her, more surprised than hurt.For one heartbeat,
