ALEXANDER'S POV

I shouldn't have stepped out of the house, I shouldn't have come here.

That was what ran through my mind as I slowly walked toward the two figures standing in front of Katherine's house.

At first I thought it was Hazel, because of the way she was dressed, Katherine would never dress like that, but as I got closer, it didn't take me long to realize who it was... Katherine, with a man!

I felt my blood boil as I moved closer to them, my entire thoughts screaming wild as I saw the man holding her hand and the way he pulled her behind him in a protective way.

What the hell was he protecting her from?

I saw Katherine's lips move and also noticed how she pushed his hands away just as I got in front of them but none of that mattered to me.

Not while he was still staring at me like I was a threat of sorts to Katherine.

"I'll call you later tonight," he said and with one last look at me, he walked away.

The night air was thick with tension, the kind that made your skin prickl

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!    Chapter 77 – She Enjoyed It

    KATHERINE'S POVI'm exhausted.Mentally.Emotionally and physically.So exhausted.This wasn't what I planned when I first arrived in Texas a month ago.This was contrary to what I expected.Within the space of a month, I've had about three huge arguments with Alexander, gotten slapped by both my stepmom and Clara, been treated rudely by reporters who thought I was back with Alex, had to face Astra and the worst of them all, been threatened.Just a month.At this point, it would be better to just go back to London. At least for Franklin's sake. The Threats would only increase more as long as we're both here, and with Alexander.But even as exhausted as I was, I still couldn't bring myself to watch as my mother's company burn to the ground because of the same woman who murdered her.I won't let her legacy die just like that.I'm not going to allow that.Franklin's words to me when I asked him if we should go back to London was another motivation to remain here until I was done with the

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 76 – I Was Fighting For Her Life. And this time, I wasn’t playing fair!

    ALEXANDER'S POV The second the door clicked shut behind Astra, I shot up from the chair like it had burst into flames.The letter.I paced the length of the study, heart pounding against my ribs. My mind raced, connecting dots I didn't even know were there until now.No one was supposed to know about that letter. No one except me, Henry, and Katherine.So how the hell did Astra know?Was there another letter I wasn't aware of? One that everyone knows about?That is the only acceptable explanation for how Astra knows about the letter.But even as I tried to come up with these excuses, I still couldn't shake the suspicious feelings that gnawed at me.Astra knows about the letter and there are only two explanations of how she got to know about it.And I didn't feel comfortable with the answer at the back of my mind.I grabbed my phone from the desk and called Henry.“Alex?” he answered immediately and I could sense the worry in his tone.“Get back here,” I said, my voice low and urgent.

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 75 – Fight for Them

    ALEXANDER'S POV I gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white, the tension in my jaw so stiff it felt like my teeth might crack."Stupid," I muttered under my breath. "So stupid."Henry cast a quick, worried glance at me from the driver’s seat but wisely said nothing. The silence in the car was suffocating. Heavy. Like a third presence pressing into the space between us.I could still see Katherine's face in my mind. The confusion. The exhaustion. The pain she tried so hard to hide.And yet, what hurt more was the way she just stood there. She didn't call after me. She didn't stop me. She didn’t choose me.She let me walk away.I squeezed my eyes shut and leaned my head back against the seat. For a few seconds, I tried to force the anger out of my body, to be rational, to be the calm, composed man I'd worked so hard to become.But I couldn't. Not tonight.Tonight, everything I had been holding back for weeks was breaking free, clawing at my insides li

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 74 – It’s okay, Mummy. I’ll protect you

    KATHERINE'S POV My mind was blank as the car slowly pulled into the garage of my house. All the way here, I tried so hard not to think about anything but it was almost impossible to do so.I've always known that Elizabeth was wicked, she didn't bother hiding it, at least from me, but if what Victor said about her was actually true, then she wasn't just wicked. She was pure cruel.I don't know if I can deal with someone like that, especially at a point like this in my life.The thought of her harming my poor son, Franklin, was so scary that I found it hard to breathe.What if she actually does? What if....?"We're here, Katherine," Alex's warm voice broke into my thoughts and I stared at him, my emotions void.Sometimes I wondered if he was really trying to help me or if all of this was just another way of him getting into my head.But even as the thought occurred to me, I knew that it was just me being paranoid.Alex's eyes were filled with worry and concern.That's not something you

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!    Chapter 73 — We're Not Alone Anymore

    ALEXANDER'S POV For a moment, the room was silent, so still that I could hear Katherine’s breath hitch and Victor’s words echo in my mind like a broken record.“I had to do it. I had no choice.”There’s always a choice. Always. And when it came to pointing a gun at my son, he had one too.No matter how broken he was. No matter how tragic his past.I let go of Katherine’s hand slowly, not because I didn’t want to be there for her, but because I needed to distance myself from the storm rising inside me. The rage. The disgust. The disbelief. “Victor,” I said calmly, but every syllable I uttered was wrapped in steel, “you keep saying you were a puppet. That she had all the control. And maybe that’s true to an extent. Maybe. But you chose to aim that gun. You chose to obey her. You could have said something, you could have secretly met with Katherine, or me, but you chose not to.“I didn’t know, I wasn't thinking. All I could think about was my wife and...”“Don’t interrupt me,” I snappe

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 72 – That Was When My Problems Started

    ALEXANDER'S POV I could feel the tension in Katherine's body as she froze at the sound of the name that haunts her.Elizabeth.I never once thought that she would be the one behind this but then again, I didn't know much about her to be able to judge.Her hatred for Katherine seemed more farfetched than I thought it was and the idea that someone like this, someone who was comfortable with threatening her life, was her family, stepmom, but still family either way, made me feel really annoyed."Elizabeth...?" Katherine asked in a half whisper.Victor nodded his head."Yes. She painted me that way. No, she did more than that. She made me her slave."I frowned.He could have gone to the police and reported her to them, he could have reported her to Katherine's father, he kept silent.There's something he's not saying."Her slave? Or a willing servant?" I asked angrily.It was Impossible for me to feel pity or even try to understand him, not when every single look I take at him, I see the
