BILLIONAIRE’s REGRET : I MARRIED EX- HUSBAND ENEMY Chapter 30- I’d burn for you
-TRISTAN- Pain has a voice. It doesn’t scream. It hums — low, constant, like the growl of a machine that won’t shut off. That’s what I woke to. A steady, dull hum under my skin, as though fire had melted its way into my veins and refused to leave. My first breath tore through my lungs like glass. My throat was raw, every inhale sharp and metallic. For a long moment, I didn’t remember where I was — only that the ceiling above me was too white, the lights too dim, the air too sterile. Then came the scent. Antiseptic. Burn cream. Saline. Hospitals. Memory came in pieces. Liana’s face. The crowd. The burn. The sound of her screaming my name. “Tristan!” My body jerked, and immediately, agony answered. A groan tore from my chest before I could stop it. I felt the pull of bandages across my back, skin tightening like it had been stitched with fire. “Easy,” I rasped to no one, half to myself. My voice came out like sandpaper, dry and broken. The room was quiet.

-LIANA-The siren screamed so loud it swallowed my thoughts.I sat rigid beside Tristan as the paramedics worked, the world flashing red and white outside the ambulance windows.He was half-conscious, jaw locked in pain, his breath coming out in ragged bursts. The smell of burned fabric and flesh clung to the air like smoke.“Stay with me,” I said, gripping his hand as they checked his vitals. “We’re almost there.”His fingers twitched, just once.“BP’s dropping,” one of the medics shouted. “We need IV access now!”Another tore open a packet, slipping a line into his arm. A saline bag swung above us, the tube glinting faintly in the strobe of the siren lights.The ride lasted only minutes, but it felt like hours — every second stretching out, clawing at my chest.When the ambulance doors burst open, cold hospital air hit me like a slap.“Move, move!” a nurse yelled, running alongside as they wheeled Tristan inside.I stumbled after them, my heels slick with adrenaline. “I’m with him—”

-LIANA-The morning sunlight poured softly through the tall curtains, slicing through the faint haze of steam drifting out from the bathroom.“Mommy, it’s too hot!” Elias’s voice rang out, followed by the sound of splashing water.I laughed under my breath, kneeling beside the tub. “That’s because you keep turning the tap like a little scientist. Sit still, Mr. Genius.”He grinned, his wet curls sticking to his forehead, tiny hands slapping the water just enough to splash me. “You’re wet now!”I sighed, mock-dramatic. “Oh no, whatever will I do?”He giggled, and the sound softened something inside me — something the world hadn’t touched in a long time. These small moments were my only peace left, my reminder that there was still something untainted by the chaos outside those glass towers.When I finished rinsing the soap from his shoulders, I wrapped him in a towel and kissed his cheek. “Go change, sweetheart. Maya’s making breakfast.”Elias nodded and ran off, leaving tiny wet footpr

-LIANA-By the time I tucked Elias into bed, my mind was already spinning in loops I couldn’t escape.The world outside our home was burning with speculation — every media outlet dissecting the HaleTech breach, every rumor conveniently aimed at me. I didn’t need confirmation to know who orchestrated it. Scarlett wanted me gone. And Cassian? He’d let her destroy me if it meant proving his own loyalty.I had been silently waiting. He went out while I was with Elias and didn’t even give me a heads up.The clock read 10:04 p.m. when I finally heard the front door open.Tristan didn’t call my name. He never did when he was angry. He just appeared — dark suit loosened at the collar, eyes storming with restrained fury.I straightened from the couch. “Where were you?”“Putting out fires you didn’t start,” he said, shutting the door behind him. His voice was sharp, clipped, the kind of tone that usually preceded bad news.My stomach tightened. “So they’re blaming me officially now?”He tossed a

-LIANA-By the time I stepped into the Hale Tower again, the city had already chosen its villain.And it wasn’t Scarlett.It was me.The news cycle hadn’t stopped since that damned party. Every headline was the same variation of the same truth they’d built for me: the bitter ex-wife, the jealous mother, the woman who couldn’t let go.They could make me out to be anything they wanted.But what they couldn’t erase was that I was still the one person Cassian Hale couldn’t ignore.The elevator doors opened with a soft chime, and the world I’d left behind years ago came back in one cold rush—glass walls, marble floors, the faint scent of money and ambition.“Ms. Halenti?”I turned. The receptionist smiled too politely. “Mr. Hale and Mr. Halenti are expecting you in Conference Room Twelve.”Of course they were.This wasn’t just another corporate meeting—it was the meeting. The Hale Corporation had decided to join forces with Tristan’s firm for an international tech expansion deal, something
BILLIONAIRE’s REGRET : I MARRIED EX- HUSBAND ENEMY Chapter 25- Smoke in the mirror
-SCARLETT-Morning came too bright.The curtains couldn’t keep the sun out, and neither could I.I’d barely slept—too many flashes, too many voices replaying the night before. Cassian’s voice. Liana’s smirk. The reporters screaming her name and mine like we were two sides of the same coin.And now, the tabloids had decided to turn it into blood sport.“Is the Hale engagement already breaking? Sources say Cassian’s ex confronted Scarlett over the pregnancy at last night’s gala…”“Was it planned?”“Was it revenge?”“Who really owns Cassian Hale’s heart?”The words blurred together until they just looked like noise. But the photos—those were knives.One of me, hand over my stomach, my smile too tight.One of Liana, watching from across the room, looking like ice sculpted into a woman.And one—God help the photographer—of Cassian between us, eyes locked on her instead of me.Every outlet ran the same caption.“A triangle reborn.”I threw the tablet across the bed. It hit the floor with a
