ALEXANDER'S POV

I don't know what hurt the most, having evidence that Franklin was my son but still not being able to hold him or the fact that Katherine didn't believe that Astra was the one behind the Scandal that nearly destroyed her life.

It was weird and while I understand her point, I could not also believe that she would think that low of me.

What did I do to make her think that way?

The DNA results stared back at me, mocking me for the failed attempt to get my son back even with concrete evidence and I turned my face away back to the door.

It's been almost 48 hours and there was still no trace of Astra yet, Henry came back with nothing, Not even a link to where she might have gone.

A part of me was worried because her disappearance might mean further mischief on her part but at the same time, it felt relieving to finally have an apartment free from tantrums, giggling over new bags, and the usual social media chatter she does every night at dinner.

I smiled as my gaze fell on

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 128 — She Called Me the Night of the Fire.

    ALEXANDER'S POV It's been two days.Forty fucking eight hours!!!And yet Katherine is yet to wake up.I managed to maintain my composure in front of Franklin for the past two days but it was hard.I was slowly losing my mind.Franklin's questions didn't even help matters and the fact that I had to constantly reassure him, even though I wasn't even convinced, yet was just a different ball game.All I see and hear is the oxygen mask in front of Katherine and the sound of it slowly beeping.My patience was as thin as a piece of spaghetti, if there was something even smaller than that.Nate sensed it also.He avoided coming to Franklin's hospital and whenever I tried to meet up with him in private, he always comes up with the excuse that he has a patient to see and runs away.But not today.He has to give me an explanation today otherwise he won't be able to do anything else.My footstep was heavy and I knew without being told that I looked like a crazy man, unshaved moustache, rough ha

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 127 — I'm crying, Katherine. For you

    ALEXANDER'S POV I waited for the nurse to turn her face towards me but it took a lifetime and that got me scared.Henry left not too long ago and after making sure that Franklin was asleep and okay, I decided to check up on Katherine.The sight of two nurses in front of the room made me worried and I ran towards them.Now the fact that the nurse couldn't turn to face me made my heart beat faster.Was there something wrong?Did anything happen to Katherine?I took a quick glance at the window and the lines on the heart monitor told me that she was still alive, the oxygen machine was still hissing and her chest still rose and fell.But you could never tell with anything medical. It could be that her lungs have more issues than they noticed at first.Or could it be her head."Nurse...?"Panic was already taking a better part of me and I almost grabbed her hands to turn her face to me but she was quicker as she slowly turned towards me.I don't know what I expected but a nurse with big g

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 126 — If Only She Had Stayed Dead!

    UNKNOWN POV Stalking had become my favorite plaything—better than touching myself. Nah, not sure this is better than... God, you’re such a fucking bitch!" I laughed at myself, almost giddy at my own antics.Still, the laughter couldn’t drown out the truth eating me alive. Ever since I found out that the cops didn’t suspect the fire was an accident, I’ve been restless—not exactly worried, but afraid my plans might be destroyed before they even come into bloom.Ruining someone else's plans was definitely Katherine's strongest suit because why can't she just die?Or simply leave, if not die?She just had to fight for her worthless life and ruin everything for me.My legs were sore from sitting inside the cramped van but there was nothing I could do, one move and I would expose myself in front of everyone and that was the last thing I needed.For now, it was certain that the identity of the culprit was still unknown, I wouldn't want to speed up their investigation by exposing myself.The

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 125 — But what if Franklin was right?

    ALEXANDER'S POV "What's this about?" I asked in a hushed voice the minute we got to the lobby.He looked around him with that same serious face, scrutinizing every single person in the place with us and everything before he finally turned his face to me.It was on occasions like this that I got reminded of his Marine background. He spent too many years working with me as my personal assistant and being too close of a friend for me to realize that this man was actually a trained Mariner or the fact that he has a black belt in taekwondo and would have probably gone deeper into the military if I hadn't met up with him and asked him to work with me."What is it, Henry?" I asked again, this time with a calmer voice."The fire at Katherine's house wasn't an accident, Alex."Yes, and the fork is found in the kitchen.All that suspense and urgency only to be told the one thing that I was already aware of."Go figure!" I rolled my eyes at him and sat down.He sat down beside me also."No, I k

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 124 — Then Who Was It?

    ALEXANDER'S POV Time seemed to go by so slowly and I got to find out what it means to be patient. I watched as Franklin played with some toys the nurses gave him and tried hard not to think about anything but it was almost impossible. Yes, I've always wanted to spend alone time with my son but definitely not like this...not when Katherine's life was at risk. The past thirty minutes had me pacing around the room, glancing at my watch, peeking through Frankie's room window for a nurse while at the same time, following the news report on the incident at Katherine's place. So far none of them seemed to have calmed my mind. Katherine lay some meters away from us in the ICU, unconscious, hurting and relying on oxygen, yet everyone seemed to go on like nothing happened. "Dad..." Franklin's soft voice called me and I turned my attention away from the window. "Yes son?" He grimaced and like a strike of lightning, I was already by his side. "What's wrong? Are you okay? Can you breathe

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 123 — How on Earth Did They Survive?

    Unknown POV Shit! Shit! Shit!!How on earth did they manage to get out?!I crouched on my bed, my laptop close to my face as I stared in disbelief at the latest news.For the past one hour since I got back and got rid of every single evidence that I was at her place, I've been googling through the Internet expecting something tragic.My jaw dropped in shock when I saw the headline of the news a few minutes ago."Alexander Blake's ex-wife and child narrowly escaped a fire accident."Of course they had used his name instead of hers, that was the main reason why the news blew up within minutes despite the fact that it was just past one in the morning and most of the world was still fast asleep.How on earth did they survive?I made sure that the gas spread to every single part of the house, I was careful enough to make sure that it didn't look like something done on purpose.Now all my work would go down the drain.If no one suspects it to be arson, Katherine or even Alex would definite
