KATHERINE'S POV

He picked the call almost immediately leaving me no chance to rehearse the speech I originally planned on saying to him.

I stared at the phone, blinking and trying to come up with something when his voice interrupted the awkward silence between us.

“Hello…? Katherine..?”

For some reason, hearing Charles voice again after about a month plus of no interaction and contact made my heart race.

Or maybe it was nervousness.

I knew he was hurt the last time we spoke, when I sent him out of the room after I confronted Alex in front of Franklin's hospital room, but things have been so chaotic for me since then and I haven't gotten the chance to apologize to him.

“Charles,” I finally managed to utter.

Something that sounded similar to a painful chuckle escaped his throat.

“Oh hey…I was starting to think that something was up. How are you doing?”

He was trying to act like nothing happened. Well, that works for me because I didn't want to deal with any awkward conversati

You ever dial someone’s number thinking it’s harmless… until your heart starts racing mid-ring? 😌 Yeah, Katherine just did that. Now the question is — did she open an old door or just step into a trap she built herself? Let’s find out. 💋

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 233 — I Have to Win This Before He Turns Seven.

    KATHERINE'S POVHazel followed me to the house when Alex said he had somewhere important to be and though I would have preferred to be in his company, I couldn't stop him.The drive home was silent and I stared out the window watching as trees moved fast, houses disappeared until we slowly arrived at the house.“Kathie…Katherine?!” Hazel called, probably thinking I was asleep.I turned to look at her and forced a smile, “I know we're here,” the words struggled to escape my lips.She nodded and opened the car door and walked out. I waited for some seconds in the car before grabbing my bag and following suit.Nothing prepared me for the sight that greeted me as soon as I walked in.Astra sat on the sofa in the living room, playing with Franklin, showing off her ultrasound pictures to him while he giggled.Hazel was in front of me and though they've never really encountered each other, at least not to my knowledge, she seemed to recognize who Astra was and from the way her jaw moved up a

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 232 — With a Single Tap From Me.

    ALEXANDER'S POVI wanted to smack that sneaky smile away from her face and squeeze the daylights out of her eye but I had to stop myself.Clara wasn't someone to mess with, especially at a time like this when she, in more ways than not, had the upper hand.So I swallowed every single bile crawling up my throat at the sight of her and forced a smile but my lips barely moved.“Hey…aren't you being too straight forward? We're at a restaurant, Alex. Let's eat first.”I clenched my fist under the table and once again reminded myself of the fact that Clara could destroy my relationship with Katherine in any second if she wants to.“I didn't come here to eat with you and I'm not hungry.”Unfortunately for me, I was actually hungry and my stomach didn't waste time in pointing that out through a rebellious growl.Clara laughed, the sound piercing through my ears and forcing me to bring my eyes to hers.“Really? ‘Cause I think someone says otherwise.”I ignored her.But it seems like she wasn'

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 231 — Because Someone Is Going to Make Sure It Doesn’t Happen.

    AUTHOR'S POVHer eyes trailed over to where Alex stood towering over Katherine and the smile on her face fell.Why was he with her? Why did he have to show up and kill her joy?“I promise you it's a good thing,” Harrison was saying but she could barely pay attention to any of the words coming out of his mouth.Her heart squeezed as Alex moved closer to Katherine and pulled her into a tight hug.She squeezed the papers on her hands tightly, glaring at him.He was doing this on purpose!He wanted to show off to her…to let her know that she would never have the opportunity to hold him like that.If that's really what he was doing, then he has no idea how capable she was of making something belong to her as much as she wants it badly.And, lord! Does she want him so bad!“Clara…” two snaps of fingers, “ Clara!”She had to peel her eyes away from Katherine and turn her attention to her mother who was snapping her fingers in front of her face and giving her a confused look.“Uh.. were you s

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 130 — Happiness Built on Borrowed Ground Doesn’t Last.

    ALEXANDER'S POVI’d been pacing the courthouse hallway for nearly twenty minutes when the doors finally opened.For the past twenty minutes, I watched the door contemplating whether I should walk in or I should wait for her to come out and in between those waiting minutes, the only thing that managed to keep me stable was the pacing around.I straightened immediately, eyes fixed on the exit, my chest tightening with a tension I hadn’t felt in years. Courtrooms did that to people. Even when you weren’t inside them, they still found a way to squeeze the air out of your lungs.It wasn't an unfamiliar sight to me… the looming courtroom.As someone who ran a large scale business with several companies and investors, I was very familiar with the walls of the courtroom and the tension that comes with sitting in that wooden chair and waiting for a single man to decide your fate.This was Katherine's first time… or maybe her second, other than the divorce, I wasn't aware of any other thing tha

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 129 — Once Again, Clara Has Won. For Now.

    KATHERINE'S POV It took everything within me to manage to maintain a straight face despite the turmoil my head was going through as I sat on the wooden chair next to my lawyer.The courtroom was quiet… I'd expected it'll be since this was the first hearing and most reporters aren't aware of the legal battle between me and Clara but I was still taken aback by the chilling silence.I could hear the murmurs between Clara, Elizabeth and their lawyers, my tensed breathing and the shuffling of papers by Hazel and Greta.As if she could sense that I was tense, Hazel reached out and gently squeezed my hand.“Don't worry, it'll go well,” She murmured and just as she was about to say something, the screeching of the chair against the floor sounded across the room and I turned to see the court clerk standing up.“Court's in session,” The almost too round man spoke loudly just as the judge walked in, “All arise!”We all stood up immediately.The judge walked in, draped in a long flowing robe, hi

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 228 — Good Luck, Katherine. Break a Leg.

    KATHERINE'S POV Hazel was already at the door by the time I got to her doorstep and just as I was about to ring the bell, she pulled it open.“Come in…come in. I saw your car,” She explained when she noticed my surprise.I walked in and smiled at how surprisingly less messy her house was, not in a bad way, but in the “I'm busy working and I don't have time to clear up” way.“Any word from Alex's lawyers yet?” I asked, slumping into her sofa and turned my eyes towards the documents on her round table.She was at the kitchen, heading back with a fresh pot of coffee and a cup when she answered,“Yes, and they mentioned something strange.”The pot hit the table and I poured myself a cup, “What did they say?”Even though I tried to hide it, it was so obvious. My hands trembled slightly as I held the cup and I swallowed the coffee, wincing as it burned down my throat.I tried to hide the growing panic moving up my stomach by taking yet another gulp of the coffee but this time around, I was
