-LIANA-

Silence settled between us after my words.

Heavy. Charged. Alive.

Then we win both.

I hadn’t even realized I said it aloud until I saw the way Tristan looked at me.

Not amused.

Not dismissive.

Measured.

Like he was recalculating everything he thought he knew about me.

He finally exhaled, slow and controlled, then stood and began pacing the living room—phone already in his hand, mind already ten steps ahead.

“We’re definitely not staying here,” he said flatly.

I blinked. “Uh what? Excuse

  • BILLIONAIRE’s REGRET : I MARRIED EX- HUSBAND ENEMY   Chapter 60- I must have a baby in my arms

    — SCARLETT REED —The lie stayed in the air between us long after I said it.Smooth. Polished. Perfectly delivered.And completely exhausting.Cassian didn’t react right away. He rarely did. He simply stood there, studying my face with that cool, evaluative gaze—as if I were a report he hadn’t yet decided whether to approve or discard. His silence pressed down on me harder than any accusation could have.I forced myself not to fidget. Not to overact. Not to reach for my stomach in the way I’d practiced in the mirror.Finally, he straightened, already compartmentalizing, already filing this conversation away under temporary instability.“I’ll have my people tighten security,” he said calmly. Efficient. Detached. “No more unnecessary stress. No more contact with Liana.”As if it were that simple.As if Liana were a nuisance instead of a threat.He leaned down and pressed a brief kiss to my forehead—impersonal, careful, more habit than affection. A gesture meant to reassure without promi

  • BILLIONAIRE’s REGRET : I MARRIED EX- HUSBAND ENEMY   Chapter 59-Proof

    — SCARLETT REED —The moment Liana’s message appeared on my screen, something inside me snapped.Not cracked.Snapped.I stared at the words until they blurred, my pulse roaring in my ears so loudly it drowned out the steady beep of the monitor beside my hospital bed.Especially when the timeline matters.My fingers trembled as I locked my phone, then unlocked it again, like the message might disappear if I blinked hard enough.It didn’t.It sat there—quiet, smug, surgical.Just like her.My chest tightened. Not pain—panic. Hot and acidic, crawling up my throat. I pressed my palm flat against my stomach instinctively, as if shielding it from her words.She knew.No—She suspected.And suspicion was dangerous.Because suspicion invited questions.Questions invited scrutiny.And scrutiny was where lies went to die.I sucked in a sharp breath, forcing my face into something calm as a nurse passed by the open door. The moment her footsteps faded, I reached for my phone again and typed bac

  • BILLIONAIRE’s REGRET : I MARRIED EX- HUSBAND ENEMY   Chapter 58- Threat

    — CASSIAN HALE — The doors to Orion closed behind me with a soft hiss. Too soft. Too final. The sound followed me down the corridor like an accusation, echoing in the polished marble halls of a building that had once bowed to my presence. I didn’t slow my stride, didn’t acknowledge the stares or the way conversations died as I passed. Control meant never letting them see the fracture. I kept walking until the elevator doors slid open and swallowed me whole. Only then—alone in the mirrored box of steel and silence—did my composure crack. Just slightly. My jaw throbbed. A deep, pulsing ache that radiated up toward my temples. I hadn’t even realized how hard I’d been clenching it until the pain bloomed, sharp and insistent, like my body rebelling against the restraint I’d forced on it for the last hour. Legal father. The words burned like acid. I stared at my reflection in the elevator wall. Immaculate suit. Crisp lines. Perfectly styled hair. The image of control.

    -TRISTAN HALENTI-Morning came whether I was ready for it or not.The city didn’t care about threats made in the dark or wars settled before dawn. Glass towers still caught the sunrise like nothing had happened. Traffic still roared. Markets still opened.And Cassian Hale still woke up every day believing the world belonged to him.I showered, dressed, and left the penthouse without waking Liana or Elias. That was intentional. Home was peace. Work was war. I didn’t mix the two.By 8:12 a.m., Halenti Holdings was alive.The building rose from the street like a blade—steel, glass, unapologetic. Twenty-eight floors of calculated dominance. My name etched discreetly into the stone outside, not loud, not boastful.Power didn’t need to shout.I stepped out of the elevator on the executive floor to my assistant already moving at my side.“Your nine a.m. board briefing is ready,” she said. “And… Mr. Hale arrived ten minutes ago.”I stopped walking.Slowly turned my head.“Hale?” I repeated.“

    -TRISTAN HALENTI-I didn’t sleep.Not really.Sleep implies surrender, and I couldn’t afford that—not tonight.I lay in the dark, staring at the ceiling, listening to the apartment breathe around me. The soft hum of the security system cycling through its perimeter checks. The distant, muffled roar of the city far below, a living thing that never truly rested. And beneath it all, steady and grounding, the faint, even rhythm of Elias’s breathing coming through the monitor on my nightstand.In. Out. In. Out.That sound mattered more than anything else in the world.Liana was wrong about one thing.I wasn’t fearless.I was terrified.Not of dying.Death was simple. Clean. Final.Failure wasn’t.Failure meant consequences that lived on. Consequences that reached small hands and innocent eyes. Consequences that couldn’t be undone with money, power, or blood.The Marenos didn’t scare me because they were powerful.Power was manageable.Predictability was not.They scared me because they wer

Excuse me?”“This house is compromised,” he continued, already tapping out a message. “They got onto the balcony. They knew our schedule well enough to avoid cameras and alarms. That means we move. Tonight, if possible.”“Tristan, No,” I said.He stopped pacing.Slowly turned.“What did you say?”“I said no,” I repeated, standing up. My heart was pounding, but my voice didn’t waver. “We’re not going anywhere.”“Liana,” he said carefully, like he was talking to a live wire, “this isn’t a debate. This i

    -LIANA-The morning light slanted through the curtains — too bright, too ordinary for a world that had cracked open the night before.I hadn’t slept. Not since I arrived home just to see Elias. Not when I took a hot shower to calm my nerves.The smell of antiseptic still clung to my clothes. Even a

    -LIANA-The hospital smelled like bleach and fear.Elias clung to my hand, his little fingers warm and sticky from the lollipop Maya had bribed him with before we left home. His curls bounced with each step, and his eyes darted everywhere — wide, curious, a little worried.I’d tried to dress bright

    -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

Someone nagged a point into the system and had used a courier service to pick up the chemicals. The
