ALEXANDER'S POV

"She signed a contract with your company??" Mom asked, her voice raised with surprise.

I had to force my face from Susan's ever-knowing glance and turned to stare at Mom.

"Yes, she did," for some weird reason, my tone was laced with pride and I felt my heart swell with pride as they both looked surprised that she was capable of signing a contract with a company as huge as mine.

"A contract? For what?"

"Mom, seriously?" Sue interrupted and rolled her eyes.

"What?"

"You're acting like you didn't know that she had that much potential in her. She's an artist mom. You just heard us talk about her exhibition."

"And? What does an artist have to do with a tech company? Are you sure she's not just reaching out to you, Alexander? She's showing you that she's still interested."

As much as I wanted to believe Mom's optimistic Statement, I knew more than anyone that it was impossible.

If anything she was definitely showing off what she could do to me, that's if she was actually awa

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 244 — You Have a Lot to Lose, Alex. Admit It.

    ALEXANDER’S POVWhen the car slowed down towards the building in front of me, I felt a thick bile moving up my throat and I closed my eyes.The restaurant was classy, an expensive one but also one famous for its privacy which was exactly why I chose it.As the building came into view clearly, my hands balled into a fist and I sighed, forcing a smile on my face.“Just treat this as nothing but a business deal,” I murmured to myself as my driver parked the car.“Huh? You said something?” He asked and I waved my hand dismissively,“No, I didn't.”I got out of the car and took one long look at the restaurant again before walking towards it.As expected, Clara was already sitting in the center of the room, her back to the door but the mere sight of her brought another churn of disgust to my stomach.Katherine was home, sick and worried about her case while I was out here doing nothing but having a date with someone who not only tried to kill her but was capable of doing even worse things t

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 243 — Sometimes the Wrong Decisions Feel Right for a Reason.

    HAZEL’S POVHazel stared at her phone like it had personally offended her.The screen was blank, dark, reflecting her own annoyed expression back at her. She’d picked it up, put it down, picked it up again at least six times in the last ten minutes, pacing the length of her living room like a trapped animal.This was stupid.She was not the kind of woman who got restless over a second date.She was decisive. Logical. Controlled.And yet here she was, barefoot on cold tiles, hair tied up carelessly, biting the inside of her cheek while arguing with herself.Don’t text him.She stopped pacing.You already agreed to three dates.She resumed pacing.That doesn’t mean you have to be the one reaching out.The inner battle continued and she felt conflicted. She groaned, scrubbing a hand over her face.But the truth, annoying, inconvenient truth was that her chest felt too tight, her head too loud. Everything that had happened at Katherine’s place replayed on a vicious loop in her mind.Alex

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 242 — Just Don’t Let Fear Choose for You.

    KATHERINE’S POVThe quiet that followed felt strange.Not comforting. Not peaceful.Just… heavy.Alex’s arm remained around me as we sat on the couch, his presence solid and warm, like an anchor I didn’t know how to let go of. I leaned into him, my head resting against his shoulder, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing. It was one of the few things that felt real at that moment.Everything else felt uncertain.David’s words replayed in my head, over and over again, each time sounding slightly different. Sometimes sincere. Sometimes rehearsed. Sometimes dangerous.I shifted slightly, and Alex’s grip tightened just enough to let me know he felt it.“You okay?” he asked softly.I hesitated before answering. “I don’t know.”He didn’t press me, and I appreciated that more than he probably realized.The house was quiet, way too quiet. Franklin was asleep upstairs, Beth had retreated to her room, and the world outside felt distant, like it was happening to someone else.I straight

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 241 — What He’s Offering Isn’t Help. It’s Leverage.

    ALEXANDER'S POV The silence David left behind was heavier than his presence had been. It pressed against my chest, thick and suffocating, lingering long after the sound of his engine disappeared down the road. Even the wind seemed hesitant to move, as though it was afraid to stir whatever fragile balance was barely holding together in that moment. Katherine stood beside me, wrapped in my coat, her shoulders tense, her gaze fixed on the empty stretch of road where David Hass had vanished. She looked smaller than she should have, too thin, too pale, too quiet and it ignited something ugly and violent inside me. The fact that it was so obvious and the way Charles made it seem like it was my fault for everything that has been happening to her made it even worse for me. I clenched my jaw. Charles shifted beside her, breaking the silence first. Of course he would. He somehow has managed to find creative ways to push me to my limit but I can't allow myself to flare up at him. Especi

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 240

    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

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!    Chapter 239 — Someone I Wouldn’t Like.

    ALEXANDER'S POVFranklin finally fell asleep after the third lullaby, his tiny fingers still wrapped around my thumb like he was afraid I’d disappear the second he let go.I stayed like that for a while, standing beside his crib, watching his chest rise and fall in that steady rhythm that always grounded me. For a moment, just a moment, the noise in my head went quiet.Then my phone vibrated again.I didn’t need to check the screen to know what it was about. The company. Lawyers. Clara. Temporary boards. Emergency meetings that everyone kept insisting couldn’t wait even though my entire world already felt like it was on the verge of collapse.I silenced the call and slipped the phone into my pocket.Two days. That was all I’d given myself. Two days to be a husband instead of a CEO. Two days to pretend that everything hadn’t gone to hell the second my father’s name crawled out of the shadows like a disease.I stepped out of Franklin’s room quietly and closed the door behind me.
