KATHERINE’S POV

The moment we pulled away from the soccer field, my fingers tightened around Franklin’s small hands. He was quiet, unusually so, his body stiff as he stared out the car window. I could still hear the echoes of that gunshot in my head, the way parents screamed, the terrified cries of children. My heart clenched as I turned my gaze forward, focusing on the road, but my mind was miles away.

Alex was driving, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. He hadn't spoken much since we left, but I could feel the weight of his thoughts pressing down on the air between us. Henry sat in the passenger seat, making calls, relaying messages, working on figuring out who the hell was behind this.

I knew what Alex wanted. He wanted answers. He wanted me to admit that I was in over my head. That I needed help. But I wasn’t ready for that. I wasn’t ready to admit that I had lost control of the situation.

“Mom?”

Franklin’s small voice broke through the thick silence. I looked at him quic

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 62 — What could it be that he noticed that I didn't?

    ALEXANDER’S POVI arrived at the soccer field earlier than planned, watching from my car as children and parents filled the open space. Some kids chased each other around, while others were already kicking the ball back and forth.I exhaled and drummed my fingers on the steering wheel, my other hand tightening into a fist on my lap. I knew I shouldn’t be here. Katherine had made it clear; she didn’t want me taking her place today. But something in my gut told me that showing up was the right decision.The threat from the unknown blackmailer still loomed over my head. Someone was watching. Someone was waiting for the right moment to strike. If that text had reached Katherine this morning, she’d be rattled. And if she was rattled, she might not be as cautious as she needed to be.I stepped out of the car, sliding my sunglasses over my eyes as I made my way toward the field."Do you think she's going to show up? If she's actually threatened like you say, I don't think she'll bring her so

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 61 — Let’s See How Brave You Are

    KATHERINE'S POVThe weight of the text sat heavy in my chest as I hurriedly got ready. My mind was a storm of thoughts, questions, and, worst of all—doubts. I had promised myself that I wouldn’t let fear dictate my life, but knowing that someone was watching me so closely, monitoring my every move, made it impossible to ignore the danger lurking around me.Franklin’s excited chatter filled the car as we drove toward the soccer field, yet I barely heard a word of it. My grip tightened on the steering wheel, eyes flicking to the rearview mirror every few minutes. Was someone following us? Was the blackmailer watching right now? The paranoia gnawed at me, but I refused to let it consume me. I had to be strong, for Franklin’s sake.As we pulled into the parking lot, I glanced around. The field was already filled with parents and children, coaches blowing their whistles as the kids ran around. It should have been a normal day, but my heart wouldn’t settle.“Alright, buddy, let’s go,” I sai

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 60 — Tomorrow was going to change everything.

    KATHERINE'S POVMy heart skipped as she said that sentence so calmly. What could it be this time?"What happened?"She stood up and paced around the room while my eyes followed her curiously, my heart beating at the same pace as her steps."Come on, Hazel, my eyes are about to pop out of my head. Tell me what's wrong.""No matter how much I dig into this, I just can't help but suspect that something is off. It's about your mother's company. I think Elizabeth is hiding something, but I just can't place my hands on what it is. And well, this Alexander's involvement, we still can't investigate it further."I frowned."What do you mean?""I mean either he's trying his very best to stop everything from being revealed, or he knows nothing about it and someone else is involved."The idea of Alexander being involved in the embezzlement of my mother's company's funds just doesn't sit well with me either.After the time we spent together, I still find it hard to believe that someone who was as

    KATHERINE'S POVMy heart pounded heavily as Franklin stared at Alexander, and I could feel his head between my legs.What I was trying to avoid all along has finally happened.I didn't let Alex in earlier because Franklin was in the sitting room with me, and he just asked about the man he called Daddy.Only for the daddy to show up.My breath hitched, and I stared at Alexander, waiting for his reaction."Franklin," he called softly, and a part of me squeezed.Why did he have to sound so soft, so much like an actual father? Why?Franklin stood up and, without waiting for a word from me, gave Alex a hug.I watched as Alex crouched down to his level and smiled at him."How are you, Franklin?" he asked, beaming so proudly that I got a feeling of déjà vu.It was almost as if I'd been here before, my son with his father, smiling at each other."You know me?"Of course. Inquisitiveness has always been Franklin's strong suit."Yes, I do. I remember you."He smiled and hugged him again."Okay,

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 58 — Did someone threaten you?

    ALEXANDER'S POV The voice on the other end of the line sent a cold shiver down my spine. My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles turning white. "Who is this?" I demanded, my voice low and controlled, though my pulse was anything but steady. Henry’s eyes widened, his body tensing beside me. He recognized the voice too. A dry chuckle crackled through the speaker. "You don’t recognize your own father’s voice? I’m hurt, Alex." My jaw clenched. After all these years, after everything he’d done, vanishing, leaving behind a trail of deceit and hurt, he had the audacity to call me like nothing had happened. "Father."Even as I tried to hide the emotions from taking over, it was still evident in my voice and in the way I spoke to him.But it was impossible to hide my emotions, I knew that also.Not after what happened between us in the past, not after he broke Mom's heart, not after he almost..."Alex. I know you're surprised to hear from me.""Surprised?? No, Dad," I bit my li
