The office was quiet except for the low hum of the AC and the soft tapping of keys from my assistant’s desk outside. My head was deep in files.

Reports. Back-to-back updates from every department. Numbers, projections, deals on the table.

I hadn’t even had breakfast. I was reviewing a proposal when the knock came.

"Come in," I said without looking up.

My secretary, Jenna, stepped in holding a tablet. Her hair was pinned up like always. Glasses slightly sliding down her nose.

"Morning, sir. Just wanted to run through your schedule real quick."

"Go ahead."

"First, you have a call with the Zurich investors at ten. Then you’re supposed to review the final designs from R&D at eleven. Lunch with the partners is still on at twelve-thirty, and—"

She hesitated.

I finally looked up. "And what?"

She glanced down at the screen. "You’re late for your son’s graduation."

I froze.

Everything around me went still.

"Shit," I muttered under my breath.

Jenna raised an eyebrow. "Should I cancel the rest

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets.   Chapter 162: Ashton's POV

    "I'm out of here," I muttered under my breath, slipping off the barstool like it had suddenly turned into hot coal. The ice in my glass had melted, the whiskey watered down, and so was my will to stay in this damn club.The music was still blasting, loud, thumping, chaotic. Bodies still moved like they were possessed by the beat. But all I could think about was her.Helen.God. I didn’t even know if it was really her I saw. Could’ve been someone who just looked like her. But something about the posture, the hair, the way she shifted closer to that guy — yeah, that did it. It dug into me like a hook, pulling something raw to the surface. I couldn’t breathe in here anymore. I couldn't think.So I headed toward the exit, the heavy bass pounding in my skull like a second heartbeat. My steps weren’t exactly steady — the whiskey I’d had earlier was starting to turn on me, mixing with the ache in my chest. I pushed through the crowd, ignoring the flashes of smiles, the perfume trails, the

    "You okay?"Jace’s voice pulled me out of my spiraling thoughts once again. His hand was still gently wrapped around mine, warm and steady, like a tether keeping me grounded.I nodded quickly, too quickly, and added a small laugh that even I didn’t believe. "Yeah. I’m good. Just... got lost in my head for a second."His brows furrowed slightly as he studied my face, searching for the truth behind my shaky smile. "You sure? I’m picking up on something. If you’re not cool being here, we can leave. I won’t take it personally."I looked at him, hesitated for a second, then sighed like I was reluctantly letting a secret slip."It’s not you," I said, voice softer now. "It’s this place."He tilted his head. "What about it?"I hesitated, then leaned in slightly, like I didn’t want anyone else to hear the lie I was about to sell."Years ago, I came here with a few friends," I began. I lowered my eyes just enough to add some tension to my tone. "There was this guy—some random dude who bought me

    I didn’t know what to do.My heart was pounding like a drum in my chest. The music from the speakers was loud, bodies swayed around us, lights flashing across the dance floor, but all I could see was him.Ashton.Sitting at the bar like he owned the damn place.What the hell was he doing here?He wasn’t supposed to be here. Not tonight. Not at this club. Not when I was just trying to escape everything he reminded me of.I could barely keep my feet from trembling. I blinked a few times, thinking maybe I was hallucinating. Maybe it was just someone who looked like him.But no.It was him.The way he sat. The sharp jawline. The shoulders that held stress like armor. The subtle way he scanned the room like he was above it all. Yeah. That was Ashton.My throat went dry.I shifted closer to Jace, but my mind was still racing.Was Ashton watching? Did he see me yet? What would he think? What would he do?Why am I even thinking like this?We’re not together. He has no right to even have an o

    I pulled away from him slowly, heart racing, breath uneven, guilt gnawing at my insides like I’d just committed a crime. Because maybe I had. Not legally. But emotionally.Jace leaned back just a little, his eyes scanning mine with worry. He wasn’t upset. He wasn’t angry. He just looked... confused. And a little hurt.“Hey,” he said softly, brushing a thumb across the back of my hand. “Are you okay?”I nodded quickly, then added, “Yeah. I’m okay.”He tilted his head. “Are you sure?”“I just… I'm fine… I promise”His features relaxed a little, but the concern was still there. “Alright then,” he said gently. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to push anything. That was on me.”I quickly shook my head. “No, no, you didn’t do anything wrong. I kissed you back. I just—I got in my head.”He nodded, squeezing my hand lightly. “I get it. Seriously. I shouldn’t have gone there without checking first. I was caught in the moment.”“It was a nice moment,” I admitted, giving him a small smile.He chuckled

    At this point, I didn’t even know what to say.He was sitting there, eyes soft, voice low, just waiting for me to talk about my first heartbreak. And I wanted to. I really did. But my throat felt tight. My chest was heavy. My heart was beating so loud, I was sure he could hear it.I didn’t want to lose him. Not now. Not when things were finally starting to feel right.But how do you even begin to say I’m still married? That my husband is Ashton—the same Ashton funding the very project Jace is managing. The same Ashton I’ve been trying to leave for months but still haven’t cut off completely.He didn’t know. Not a clue.And if I told him now? Would he walk? Would he pull back all the softness, the attention, the peace he’s given me?I blinked hard and looked away.“Can we… talk about something else?” I said, my voice barely there.He paused.“Yeah,” he said, nodding. “We don’t have to go there.”I gave him a small smile, grateful. “Thanks.”He reached out, touched my hand—light, easy,

    Now we get to this place… and it’s calm. Very peaceful. The building’s tall, really tall. All glass. The entrance is spotless, sleek. Security in black suits stand near the doors like they’re guarding treasure.As the car slows down, a guy in uniform steps up and opens my door like I’m royalty. I step out, taking it all in.“Where are we?” I ask, staring up.Jace just smiles. “Wait and see.”We walk in. The lobby’s glowing. Marble floors. A chandelier the size of a car hanging from above. The air smells like fresh-cut flowers and money. Smooth jazz plays low in the background.“This is... fancy,” I whisper.He taps the elevator button. “Only the best. For the best, of course.”“I thought we were getting food.”He laughs. “We are.”The elevator doors open, and we step inside. He presses the button for the top floor.“Penthouse?” I ask, raising a brow.“Maybe.”I roll my eyes, but I’m grinning. The ride up is smooth. When the doors open, there’s just one hallway. Then one door.He pull
