ALEXANDER’S POV

Of course.

A snake might shed it's skin but it'll always remain what it is… a fucking snake.

How silly of me to think that he would ever change? That he would stop being so god-damned selfish?

Just because he claimed to have never abandoned me, to care a lot about Katherine, I easily allowed myself to be fooled by him and assume the best of him.

I stared at him in shock as he blatantly, no, shamelessly answered me with the same look he'd given me earlier.

A “I'm doing this for you” look.

The hell he was.

“What the hell do you mean by that?” I snarled and he instantly turned all his attention to me.

“I can't, Alex.”

“Why is that?” Katherine softly asked.

I'm surprised that with everything that happened, Katherine was still able to keep her cool. I would have gone berserk by now if I was her and demanded that he testify for me.

“Yeah…why is that?” I repeated after her and he sighed heavily as if there was really an explanation for it other than the fact that he was scar

Okay, let me ask you something… If the person you trusted the most kept a truth like this from you for two whole days — would you forgive them… or drive off just like Katherine did? Because that silence in the dust at the end? Yeah. That one hurt me too. Now I’m quietly wondering— Did Alex just lose Katherine for good… or is this the moment everything finally snaps into something darker? 👀 Let me know your answer before the next chapter says it for you.

  • 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

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 227 — This Is Exactly Why I Won’t Ever Lose.

    KATHERINE'S POV My body felt it before I did… the impending tension, the fear…the angst of what was to come.Whenever I was extremely tensed or simply scared, I tend to have runny stomach and a throbbing headache. The symptoms were all there… except this time, it was worse than it had ever been.The sunlight streaked into the room just as I opened my eyes and sighed heavily, feeling the weight of my past worries since last night on my chest.Tuesday.Just like that we were already about to start the court case against Clara and Elizabeth for the battle of ownership of my mom's company and though I'd spent the past few days trying to convince myself that it would go well, I couldn't help but feel like this was just the calm before the storm.Clara has been unusually quiet and Elizabeth? Well, according to Hazel, she didn't show up at the company at all for two days and that can only mean one thing.They were planning something.. something sinister and I couldn't tell if it had somethi

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!    Chapter 226 — She Smiles When You Look at Her… But When You Don’t, She’s Different.

    ALEXANDER'S POVThe soft echo of Katherine’s footsteps faded up the stairs, but the hollow ache in my chest stayed behind like a bruise that refused to heal.She didn’t look at me.Didn’t answer me.Didn’t even pause long enough for me to reach out and stop her.She just… walked away.Part of me wanted to chase after her, pull her into my arms, and force the words out of both of us until things were okay again. But another part, the part that knew how fragile she was right now, knew better.She needed space.And if space was the only thing I could give her without breaking her further… then I would give it. Even if it hurts.A small tug on my sleeve pulled me back to reality.“Daddy?”Franklin stood beside me, backpack still on, his eyes darting between the staircase and the front door where the stranger had just left.I forced myself to breathe. “Yeah, bud?”“Why was Mommy talking to that man?”I crouched a little to meet his eye level. Though I acted like I had no idea who came, I

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 225 — Children Can Sense Things Adults Ignore.

    KATHERINE’S POVThe knock came again, firmer this time, less like a request and more like a summons.My pulse stuttered.For a moment I just sat there, staring at the door, hoping it would disappear. I wasn’t ready for visitors, especially not ones who have absolutely no idea how much of a mess I was in right now.Since meeting with Alex's father, I've been in and out of a battle with myself, regretting my choice to come back and fight for what belongs to me.Especially since he refused to be a witness for me in court and prove that the will is truly original.I was still contemplating leaving the person hanging and not going out when the third knock snapped me out of my daze.“I’m coming…” I said under my breath, though I wasn’t sure I was.I pushed myself off the couch, every muscle stiff. When I opened the door, I found a man standing there, mid-fifties, a little grayer around the edges than the last time I saw him, but unmistakably familiar.David Hass.My mother’s former lawyer.

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 224 — Because You Make Me Nervous.

    AUTHOR'S POV Hazel spent the entire ride to the restaurant convincing herself she was not nervous.She had faced board directors who were twice her age and five times more arrogant.She’d stared down rival lawyers without blinking.She had once, no, more than once, told off famous Alexander Blake to his face.Heck, she was considered bold and had never once faltered in front of any men she'd once dated or gone on a blind date with.But this?A date with Henry?Her palms were sweating.By the time she reached the small rooftop restaurant he picked, she had already reapplied lipstick twice, fixed her hair three times, and practiced looking “cool and unbothered” in the elevator mirror.It didn’t work.Nothing could’ve prepared her for the sight of him.Henry stood by one of the corner tables, city lights behind him, sleeves rolled to his elbows. He looked strangely nervous too, straightening the cutlery, adjusting the chair height, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.When he fi
