Regina's POV

Lloyd took it as her moment to continue with her beef. "You know, people were staring at you, talking about how you were able to afford that outfit. A filth like you."

I only smiled. She was spewing all this on purpose just to get a reaction from me. Well, I wasn't ready to give her that satisfying feeling. Besides, now I feel more confident somehow. I liked that feeling.

I walked closer to her, staring into her eyes. Lloyd was a tall woman because I had to lift my gaze high up to maintain eye contact.

"You can say whatever you want. But don't you think this is funny? You see me as someone who's poor and helpless, and yet I was still able to get your contract with Mr Royce canceled."

Her eyes bulged open as a shocked gasp escaped her mouth. "How did you know about that? It was highly confidential!"

It was a simple smile, but this time it was from me. I walked out proudly, leaving her definitely startled.

Once outside, the driver called for my attention. Inside the car,

  • Betrayed By Ex, Loved By My Billionaire Boss    Fire for fire

    Regina's POVThe moment I saw her, I knew I wasn't hallucinating. It was Cassandra waltzing into the building like she hadn't burned every bridge behind her.Hair flawless. Heels sharp enough to stab. A smug smile carved into her face like she'd just landed a million-dollar deal.I stood frozen near the elevator, clutching my coffee like it could shield me from her venom."You look... refreshed," she purred, eyes sweeping me from head to toe. "Nicholas always did have a thing for polished brunettes."I didn't flinch. "And you always did have a thing for slinking back after getting thrown out.""Thrown out?" She laughed, stepping closer. "Darling, I was never really gone. Just biding my time."Security should've banned her. HR should've locked her out. But somehow, some idiot had let her back in—for a "final exit meeting," according to her smug little speech. Right. And I was Queen of England.I marched straight to Nicholas's office, every step a silent prayer that he hadn't invited he

    Regina's POVI knew Cassandra wouldn't go quietly. People like her never did.The morning after the board meeting, a leak appeared online—anonymous, of course. A gossip piece claiming I had "manipulated my way to the top using charm and favors." Accompanied by a blurry photo of me and Nicholas exiting his car.They were playing dirty again.I leaned back in my chair, letting the fire build in my chest. The old me would've cried, maybe hid. The new me? She welcomed the flames.Marching into Nicholas's office, I walked in with full armor. "We need to kill this story."He was already on the phone. "No, we're issuing a statement. She earned her place here. End of discussion." He looked at me. "Damage control is underway. HR, PR, and legal are handling it.""Do you think it's Cassandra?"He nodded. "She's sloppy when she's emotional. And right now? She's desperate.""Then let's end this."Nicholas gave me a sharp look. "You sure?""I'm done waiting for people to save me."I went back to my

  • Betrayed By Ex, Loved By My Billionaire Boss    War Paint

    Regina's POV By lunchtime, I was a headline and a cautionary tale. Every side-eye, every hushed whisper—it all boiled into one hard truth: I wasn't just fighting for my job anymore. I was fighting for my name. And I wasn't going to lose. I locked my office door and called the only person who'd understand. "Tell me it's time," I said. A deep chuckle answered. "Regina Moore calling me in the middle of a scandal? Must be bad." "Devon, it's a war zone." Devon—a PR fixer, a marketing genius, and my friend from college—was infamous for turning messes into miracles. "I saw the photo," he said. "You look great, by the way. But yeah, the narrative is ugly." "I need to rewrite it." "You want to play offense?" "No," I said coldly. "I want to scorch the damn field." An hour later, I was in a private café downtown, hoodie up, sunglasses on, laptop open. Devon slid into the seat opposite mine, his grin sharp and dangerous. "You want me to spin the truth?" he asked. "No. I want you to

    Regina's POV I wasn't expecting him to show up at my apartment. Not tonight. Not after the week I'd had—after the disaster at the investors' pitch, the tabloid photos of Nicholas and Cassandra, the awkward silence he'd maintained like a coward too afraid to tell me the truth. But there he was, tall and exhausted in my doorway, holding a bottle of wine like we were some kind of normal couple trying to patch things up with Pinot Noir and apologies. "Can I come in?" he asked, voice rough. I stared at him, torn between slamming the door in his face and dragging him inside just to scream. Instead, I stepped aside. "You've got five minutes." He walked in slowly, like he wasn't sure if the floor would hold him. Or maybe he was just that used to treading carefully around me now. "I didn't kiss her," he said without preamble. I raised a brow, folding my arms. "Oh, so she fell mouth-first onto your lips? How tragic." "It was a setup. She kissed me, and the cameras were already waitin

    Regina's POV Lolita didn't scream. She didn't cry damn it! She didn't even blink! She just stared at Nicholas like she'd finally seen the monster she always suspected he could become. "You've made a mistake," she said in a low voice. "One you won't recover from." "I already did," he replied. "The day I let you run this place unchecked." The room was still reeling from the vote, the silence so heavy it nearly choked me. Board members began quietly packing their things, avoiding eye contact with both Nicholas and Lolita like they were afraid either one might spontaneously combust. Lolita stood slowly, smoothing down her blazer with grace that almost masked her venom. "To all of you," she said to the board, "don't think I'll forget this. When the shareholders start asking questions—and believe me, they will—I hope you have answers." Then she turned to me. "You think this is over? Little girl, I raised empires with men like Nicholas under my heel. You're a passing phase.

    Regina's POV Lolita didn't go down without a fight.The moment Jenna's footage ended, the boardroom was plunged into chaos. Some members looked stunned, others confused, but Lolita? She stood perfectly still. Silent. Calculating.Nicholas leaned toward her. "You've lost control. Walk away while you still have your dignity."Lolita laughed softly. "You think I built this empire by folding at the first storm?"She turned to the board. "That video proves nothing. It could have been faked. Deepfakes are common now. Audio manipulation? Cheap and easy. Do you really think we'll make corporate decisions based on a tech intern's PowerPoint show?"Jenna bristled. "I'm a digital forensics expert, not an intern."Lolita ignored her. "Anyone can be made to say anything these days. What we saw was a performance—crafted by two people who are sleeping together and desperate to take over the company."Every gaze swiveled toward Nicholas and me. She smiled like a woman throwing gasoline on an open fl
