I just got to the film set. Everyone was so happy and excited. They were talking fast, laughing, and rushing around. It seemed like Ashton’s company giving money to our project made everyone glad.

But for me, I didn’t care. I knew all this was just to make me want him more.

He’s serious, I could tell. He’s not joking about wanting me back. But no! I told myself I wouldn’t accept him. I kept saying that in my head.

Even though deep down... I knew the truth. My heart was going out for him, and I felt it. I was walking out of my car when suddenly, Mr. Riley ran up to me.

“Good morning, Miss Helen! You’re early today,” he said, catching his breath a little.

I looked at him and smiled. “Good morning, Mr. Riley. Yeah, I wanted to get here early. I hate being late.”

He nodded quickly. “That’s good. Your scenes will start soon. The director is waiting.”

I sighed softly. “Oh, okay. Do you have my lines?”

He reached into his clipboard and pulled out a paper. “Yes, here. You’ll be doing the sce

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets.   Chapter 176; Rose's POV

    The silence in the car followed me all the way home like a ghost clinging to my back. Even the hum of the tires against the pavement couldn’t drown out the sound of that voice in my head. The voice from the alley. The threat. The one that knew.I parked in my driveway, hands still trembling against the steering wheel. I didn't move for a full minute. Just sat there, watching the reflections shift across my windshield. Afraid to go inside. Afraid that maybe they were already in there, and maybe the voice had eyes around me. But I had to move, I had to act like I wasn’t unraveling.I stepped out and walked slowly up the steps. My keys felt foreign in my hand, heavy, slippery. I unlocked the front door and stepped in. The house was cold, still. Even though I hadn’t left any windows open, it felt like a draft had slithered in behind me. I dropped my bag by the door and walked straight to the living room. Nothing looked touched. Not the pillows. Not the vases. But I still felt it—a

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets.   Chapter 175: Rose's POV

    I was three blocks from home when my phone rang.At first, I almost didn’t answer. The number was unfamiliar—no caller ID, just a string of numbers that didn’t match anything in my contacts. I figured it might be a telemarketer, or someone from Henry’s new school. But something about it… made me answer.“Hello?”There was a pause.Then a voice. Male. Low. Distorted.“Rose.”A chill rippled through me. The voice was familiar—but not familiar in the way that brings comfort. Familiar in the way something from a dream is, right before it becomes a nightmare.“Who is this?” I asked.“You need to meet me. Today. One hour. Fulton & Pine. The alley behind the florist.”I pulled the car to the curb, heart pounding. “Excuse me? Who the hell are you?”Another pause.Then the words that turned my stomach to acid.“If you don’t show up, what you did six years ago... will no longer be a secret.”My throat closed.I couldn’t speak. Couldn’t breathe.“What... what are you talking about?” I finall

    I was still in the mall’s parking lot when I remembered I needed to call her.Mrs. Fletcher. Ashton’s mother.I set my grocery bags down gently in the back seat, shut the car door, and slid into the driver’s seat. I didn’t even start the engine, just pulled out my phone and tapped her name. The line rang once. Twice. Then that familiar clipped voice answered."Rose, darling. I was just about to call you.""I beat you to it," I said, smiling. "I just left the store. Thought I should update you.""Tell me everything."She always said it that way. Like she was starving for gossip, but underneath it, I knew it wasn’t hunger—it was strategy. Every detail mattered to her. Every sigh, every silence. She knew how to read between the lines better than anyone I’d ever met."I got news that Ashton showed up on Helen’s set and was acting nonchalant.""Really? On that movie project she’s been obsessing over?""Mmhmm. I got a few texts from people on the crew. Said he didn’t even stay long. Barely

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets.   Chapter 173: Rose's POV

    There’s something delicious about a quiet morning at the grocery store—clean aisles, the scent of fresh citrus near the produce section, and the hum of fluorescent lights overhead.I push my cart slowly, savoring the unhurried pace. No one bumping into me, no screaming children, no crowds. Just me, the list in my head, and the gleam of satisfaction warming my skin like sunlight.I wear a beige trench coat and dark jeans, hair tucked behind my ears in a way that makes me look softer, more maternal. Polished, approachable. The kind of woman people smile at without really knowing why. I’m good at that—appearing harmless. It’s funny, actually. How easy it is to wear masks when you need to.I stop in front of the apples and select a few Honeycrisps, one by one. I turn each in my hand, carefully checking for bruises, and imperfections. Then gently place them in the bag, careful not to let them bump too hard against each other.Good things need care. They need protecting.Just like Henry.I

    I knew something was off the second I opened my eyes.There was no lightning flash. No thunderclap of realization. Just... a stillness in the air that didn’t belong. A quiet edge to the light in my bedroom. Something instinctual that curled low in my chest and whispered: You’re going to see him today.I sat up slowly, rubbing the back of my neck. The digital clock on my nightstand read 6:12 AM. I’d woken up before my alarm.That never happened.For a moment, I sat in the quiet, listening to the subtle thrum of life in the apartment—the hum of the refrigerator down the hall, the soft creak of pipes behind the walls. I glanced toward the window. The sky outside was a soft bruised blue, the kind that threatened rain but hadn’t committed yet.Something was coming, I didn’t know what, but I just... knew. I exhaled, long and steady, and swung my legs out of bed.No time to sit in it.I had a self-taped audition due at 9, plus an early scene setup on set the same hour. I hated double-stack

    He hadn’t moved.The photo still sat on his desk, face down now—he couldn’t keep looking at it. Couldn’t handle the version of himself frozen in time next to a woman who had once believed in him like gravity.His phone buzzed again, but he didn’t even glance. It was already past 11 now. The boardroom was probably empty. His schedule technically had the next block open. He told himself he’d use it to recalibrate. Maybe run through the Jakarta numbers again. Or respond to the dozen investor emails flagged in red.Instead, he stared at nothing.Until a quiet knock broke through the quiet.Dan stepped in, tablet in hand, expression careful. “I didn’t want to bother you again, but you’ve got something we can’t move.”Ashton ran a hand down his face. “What is it?”“It’s the on-set check-in for Harbor Lights.”Ashton blinked. “The indie project?”Dan nodded. “The one we’re financing eighty percent of. That director you liked—Chioma Grace—is already on site. They want a rep from Newhall to w
