Too Late to Regret: The Billionaire’s Unwanted Ex
He divorced her for another woman, not knowing she was carrying his heirs.
For three years, Elara was the invisible wife of Lucian Thorne. She warmed his bed, managed his life, and loved him in silence. In return, he gave her cold stares and divorce papers on their anniversary, accusing her of betraying his company.
Heartbroken and pregnant, Elara signed the papers and vanished into the night.
Five years later, Lucian is the King of Wall Street, but he is haunted by the memory of the wife he discarded. When a mysterious, stunning CEO named "Ella" arrives in the city to acquire a rival company, Lucian is drawn to her.
But this isn't the meek Elara he remembers. She is powerful, engaged to a handsome doctor, and she looks at Lucian with nothing but disdain. And she isn't alone—she has two children who look suspiciously like him.
When Lucian discovers the truth, he falls to his knees. "Elara, please, come home."
She looks down at him and smiles coldly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Thorne. My husband is dead to me. You are just a stranger."
Can the Billionaire win back the heart he shattered, or is it truly too late?

Chapter: Chapter 10The sun had barely begun to streak the New York skyline with pale gold when the locks on Elara’s penthouse door clicked.Elara hadn't slept. She had spent the night leaning against that very door, listening to the muffled sounds of Lucian’s occasional coughs and the silence of a man who was actually keeping his word. When she finally opened it, her heart skipped.Lucian was still there.He was slumped against the doorframe, his expensive navy sweater damp and wrinkled, his jaw covered in dark stubble. He looked exhausted, but the moment he heard the door, his eyes snapped open. He scrambled to his feet, wincing as his cramped muscles protested."You’re still here," Elara whispered, her voice thick with a mix of disbelief and something she refused to call pity."I told you," Lucian said, his voice raspy. "I’m not going anywhere.""Mama? Why is the Shark Man sleeping in our hallway?"Leo stood behind his mother, rubbing his sleepy eyes, his favorite tablet clutched in his hand. Behind h

Chapter: Chapter 9Lucian sat in the back of his darkened Maybach, the blue light of his tablet illuminating the cold fury on his face. He was staring at the legal motion Serena’s lawyers had just filed. They were digging into Elara’s psychiatric history from five years ago, claiming she was "delusional" and "unfit" during the divorce."They want to play dirty?" Lucian whispered, his voice a low growl. "I’ll show them what dirty looks like."He tapped a button. "Marcus, I’m at the clinic. The one Elara used five years ago. I don't care about the subpoenas. I want her full file on my desk in five minutes. If the hospital director argues, tell him I’ll buy the building and fire him by lunch."Four minutes later, a digital file encrypted with the highest security appeared on his screen.Lucian began to scroll. He expected to see records of her "instability" or perhaps the "leaked formulas" the villainess had planted.Instead, his heart stopped.The first document wasn't a psychiatric report. It was a bill

Chapter: Chapter 8Lucian Thorne had negotiated with oil magnates in Dubai and stared down hostile takeover bids from Wall Street sharks, but as he stood outside Classroom 4B of the "Little Einsteins Academy," his palms were sweating.He looked down at his attire. Per Elara’s strict instructions, he wasn't wearing his suit. He wore a simple navy sweater and dark jeans. He felt naked without his silk tie. In his hand, he clutched a cardboard box of supplies he’d bought at a craft store at 6:00 AM."Mr. Thorne? The children are ready for you."The teacher, a bright-eyed woman who clearly had no idea she was speaking to a man whose net worth could buy the entire school district, ushered him in.The room smelled of apple juice and finger paint. Twenty-five pairs of curious eyes looked up at him from a colorful rug. In the second row, Leo was sitting with his arms crossed, his "Shark Man" expression firmly in place. Beside him, Mia was doodling on a piece of paper, but she perked up when she saw him, her cur

Chapter: Chapter 7The boardroom of Thorne Industries was silent, the air thick with the smell of ozone and impending doom. Lucian sat at the head of the table, his face a mask of cold, sharp angles. He hadn't changed out of his park clothes; the sight of him in a hoodie and sneakers made the board members even more terrified. It meant he didn't care about decorum. He only cared about blood.Serena walked in, her face flushed with a fake, triumphant glow. She was holding a briefcase, oblivious to the fact that the trap had already snapped shut around her ankles."Lucian! I’ve just come from a meeting with the patent office," she lied, her voice sweet as poisoned honey. "There was a small clerical error with the new fragrance line, but I fixed it. We’re all set for the launch."Lucian didn't look up from his tablet. "Did you fix the 'clerical error,' Serena? Or did you just finish selling the encryption keys to the Valenti Group for twenty million dollars?"The room went so quiet you could hear the hum o

Chapter: Chapter 6The Central Park playground was alive with the sound of children’s laughter and the crisp rustle of autumn leaves, but Lucian Thorne felt like a ghost haunting a life he was never meant to have.He stood behind a thick oak tree, his dark sunglasses and casual hoodie—a far cry from his usual $5,000 suits—acting as a flimsy disguise. His eyes were locked on a small figure in a red jacket.Leo.The boy was sitting on a bench, his little legs swinging, but he wasn't playing with the other children. He was staring intensely at his tablet, his brow furrowed in a way that made Lucian’s chest ache. Beside him, Mia was being pushed on the swings by Julian.Every time Mia soared into the air, she squealed, "Higher, Daddy J! Higher!"The word Daddy hit Lucian like a physical blow. He gripped the rough bark of the tree, his knuckles white. That should have been him. He should have been the one catching her, the one hearing those giggles."You’re not very good at being invisible, Lucian."He jumpe

Chapter: Chapter 5The scent of Elara’s perfume still clung to Lucian’s suit as he stormed out of the gala, leaving the music and the whispers behind. He didn't go to his SUV. He went straight to the hotel’s private bar, but he didn't order a drink.He sat in the dim light, his mind racing. “You chose her,” Elara had said.He pulled out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't called in years. "Marcus? It’s Lucian. I need you to reopen the 2020 internal investigation. The Vance leak.""Sir? That case was closed five years ago," his head of security replied, sounding confused. "The digital footprints led straight to Mrs. Thorne’s—I mean, Elara’s—personal laptop.""I don't care," Lucian growled, his voice vibrating with a new, dangerous edge. "I want a forensic audit of Serena Blaire’s devices from that same month. Every deleted message, every 'hidden' login. If you find so much as a suspicious comma, I want to know.""Lucian?"He froze. Serena was standing in the doorway of the bar, her face pale, her sil
