ALEX'S POV

The sound of the slap resounded in my ears again as I stared at Astra, the question still hanging in my head. If she could go to the extent of hitting Henry, my personal assistant, directly in front of me without being bothered, then what would she do to Katherine behind me?

For some reason it had me questioning her and the things she might have done in the past that I wasn't aware of.

I thought I knew Astra well enough, her anger, her tantrums, everything but it turns out that I was wrong all along.

I've never seen this side of her and as I watched her, I felt a gnawing feeling bite at me.

Astra’s chest heaved with anger, her eyes blazing as she glared at Henry, who remained standing ,his expression unreadable, even to me.

For a moment, no one moved. The tension in the air was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. It was still a shock and I could tell that Henry was still reeling from it.

“Astra,” I finally said, my voice low but firm, “do you care to explain what

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 99 — A Contract I Should Have Signed a Long Time Ago

    ALEXANDER'S POV My hands lightly brushed my hair and I moved it from one angle to the next, trying to find the perfect style. Today marks the official beginning of my relationship with Katherine and the start of a new life as a family.I wanted to make it memorable for both Franklin and Katherine."One would think you're going on a date," Henry murmured as he passed me yet another jacket."Am I not?" I retorted and placed the jacket in front of my shirt as I carefully scrutinized the look in my mirror.I shook my head and handed it back to him."Not this one..."He glared at me."Not again! Come on! It's just an ice cream date with a kid, it's not a big deal, wear anything."I knew he was frustrated and rightly so.He has been in the house with me since eight in the morning, choosing the perfect clothes to wear and I still wasn't satisfied with whatever he gave me.I just wanted to look good... Like a father."It's not just any date, Henry. I'm taking Franklin out but his mom will de

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!    Chapter 98 — Because It Felt Too Good

    KATHERINE’S POVFranklin was asleep before we got halfway home.One moment, he was rambling about how he wanted a puppy and a bicycle, and how Daddy could build him a treehouse, even though we didn’t have a tree tall enough. The next moment, his words turned into mumbles, his head lolled sideways, and his little chest began to rise and fall in slow, rhythmic breaths.I turned to look at him in the backseat and tucked a loose curl behind his ear.His stick—the cool one he gave Alex—was still clutched tightly in his hand, like it was a treasure he’d never give up. And I guess, in his little heart, it was. Because it symbolized something bigger than the piece of wood itself. It was the first gift he’d given to his father.I leaned back in my seat, my eyes drifting toward the man driving us home.Alex looked different.Maybe it was the sun setting and painting his face in golds and soft shadows. Maybe it was the calmness in his shoulders, the way he smiled at Franklin’s jokes and didn’t f

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 97 — Maybe’s a yes waiting for a reason

    ALEXANDER’S POVThe sun was golden overhead, casting a warm, late afternoon glow over the park as we pulled into the gravel lot. Trees danced lazily in the breeze, and the distant sound of children laughing floated through the air. Franklin was already unbuckling himself before I turned off the engine.“This is it!” he chirped, eyes wide with glee. “Can we go now, Daddy?!”There it was again...Daddy.That single word, innocent and light in his mouth, felt heavier in my chest every time he said it.“Go on,” I smiled, pretending not to be rattled by it. “But stay where we can see you.”He leapt out of the car and tore across the grass like he’d just won the lottery, heading straight for the jungle gym. His laughter rang through the air, and I sat for a moment, watching him go, watching him be a child. My child.Beside me, Katherine stepped out more slowly. Her body was stiff, hesitant. She wasn't here for the park. She was here because Franklin asked. But her shoulders sagged as she fi

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 96 — Please, Daddy, Please.

    KATHERINE'S POV My heart dropped as I heard Franklin's words.I was anxious to hear what he wanted to tell Alex in private that I immediately finished the paperwork and ran out after them.From the corner I was, I watched as Alex's eyes widened in shock.He seemed surprised that Franklin knew some of their history.Well, I was definitely not one to blame for that, it's his fault that his son is a genius at such a young age."Franklin... what..? Why would you say that?" He asked, obviously startled."I know that you left my mother, Aunt Hazel said that you didn't want her but that you also didn't know that she was pregnant with me so that didn't count as you abandoning me."I sighed with relief.Hazel did well by telling him that otherwise the poor kid will keep on feeling that he was unwanted by his father.But then why did she have to tell him all that?"You're right. But I was foolish then. I was blinded by arrogance and pride, and.." his voice faltered, "I.. guess I was angry at

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 95 — Are you going to leave us again?

    ALEXANDER'S POV My blood ran cold and I stiffened immediately."What?? Who is this?"The calm voice on the other side sucked in his breath gently and I could almost picture a rough face to match the calm voice.My heart pounded hard in my chest as the thought that someone took Franklin and was threatening me with it."Isn't this Mr Alexander Blake?"I gulped painfully."Yes. How dare you? If you touch a single hair on his head, then you'll face the..."A soft chuckle."Ah! No, no. Mr Alexander, I think you're mistaken."My frown deepened. It didn't help that I could feel the anxious reporter staring at me with heightened curiosity."Mistaken? I know what you want. Cut quick to the chase and stop beating around the bush. How much do you want?"There was a pause on the other side and then thunderous laughter."Mr Blake, now I understand!" He continued laughing, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not properly introducing myself."My chest tightened.Someone who doesn't want money?Who the he

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!    Chapter 94 — Mr. Blake, we have your son.

    ALEXANDER'S POV Katherine's voice made me anxious and I immediately ran down the stairs. It wasn't difficult to find out what room she was in because of her almost coarse voice calling out Franklin's name.I pushed the door open and walked in.The quilt on the bed was thrown down, the closet doors opened and Katherine stood directly in front of the open windows... Frozen."Katherine... What's going on? Where's Franklin?"I had a gnawing feeling within me, my chest heavy at the strange sight of Katherine's frozen stature but I tried to wave those thoughts away."Katherine.."She didn't turn to look at me still, in fact, she didn't say a single word."Okay... you're scaring me," I said quietly as I took brisk steps towards her and lightly grabbed her hands."Kate... What..?"My hands grabbed her chin and I frowned as I noticed her wet cheeks and glistening eyes."Alex... I can't find him."I didn't need any further information to know who exactly she was talking about."Franklin? Rela
