Billionaire's Regret Chapter 227
Maya paced the length of the living room for what felt like the hundredth time, her arms wrapped tight around herself to stop from shaking, checking the clock on the wall every few minutes as though staring at the ticking hands might actually make them move faster.It's been a month already since they got married and she hadn't seen her parents in a month.Zane had asked her to wait for him.He'd said it simply while buttoning his jacket at the door, his voice calm as he told her they needed to leave for her parents' house by seven, and then he'd walked out without another word or explanation and that had been over two painful hours ago now.She checked her phone again, her thumb trembling slightly.No missed calls. No messages. Nothing but cold silence.She sank onto the edge of the couch, but stood again almost immediately, unable to keep still as her mind spun wildly through every possible explanation, settling, unhelpfully, on the absolute worst ones each time.What if something t
Billionaire's Regret Chapter 226
Maya woke slowly, her mind drifting up from sleep into a cold, disoriented haze as she stared up at an unfamiliar room, pale grey morning light filtering softly through curtains and she felt like she was living a life that belonged to someone else rather than her own.She lay motionless for a long while, just listening.The house breathed with a different kind of sound than the home she’d grown up in, unlike her home that was always bubbling, this house was wrapped in a heavy, unnatural hush, the particular silence of a place built with too much space that ordinary human noise simply dissolved before it could ever reach her ears. She could hear nothing at all. No sound of her mother banging cupboards downstairs or humming softly to herself while watering the plants in the hall, no soft murmur of her father's morning radio playing low in his study.Just a silence, and the terrifying weight of everything that had happened yesterday settling heavily over her chest now that sleep could no

The car pulled through the wrought-iron gates just after midnight, and Maya sat motionless in the passenger seat, her heart hammering against her ribs as she watched the estate sweep into view, an imposing fortress of dark stone, gleaming glass, and endless manicured grounds.She had seen it once before while sitting frozen in Jeff's car months ago, both of them too stunned to even approach the drive, but she had never imagined that she would return as the master's wife.The car glided to a smooth halt.Before she could reach for the handle, a driver opened her door, bowing slightly as he offered a polite hand to guide her out, and Maya stepped onto the cool driveway, her heavy bridal train sweeping behind her as she looked up at the towering facade.It took the breath right out of her chest.Her father was a comfortable, successful man who had built a respectable life over decades, but this was a different world entirely, radiating an immense, wealth that made her ribs tighten with a

Maya sat frozen before the mirror, her breath catching in her throat with every shallow rise of her chest while Claire carefully pinned the last stray lock of hair into place, hands trembling with a quiet, betraying nervousness that no amount of forced composure could hide. Staring back through the glass was a face that hardly felt like her own, was swallowed up by pale lace, heavy makeup, and the hollow weight of a life slipping entirely out of her control."You look beautiful," Claire whispered, the words thick and fragile as tears gathered, glistening in the corners of her eyes.Maya forced her lips into the shape of a smile, feeling the fake warmth strain across her cheeks."Thank you, Mama," she murmured, her voice steady on the outside even as everything inside her was quietly shattering.Claire sank down beside her, gathering both of Maya’s hands into her own, holding them tight."I know this all happened so fast," she murmured softly, her thumb tracing Maya’s knuckles. "But w

Later that night, Claire walked into the study to find Jeff sitting all alone in the dark, an untouched glass of whiskey resting on the table beside him as he stared hollowly into nothingness."You need to hear me out," she said softly, stepping into the dim room and closing the door gently behind her.Jeff didn't even look up, his posture slumped with defeat. "There's nothing to hear," he muttered, his voice closed. "Our daughter wants to marry my son, Claire. There is no version of this in my head that makes any sense."Crossing the quiet room, Claire sat directly across from him, reaching out to wrap her hands tightly around his cold fingers. "They're not blood-related, Jeff," she urged gently, trying to reach him through the darkness. "You know that. Maya knows that too. Whatever this wild, complicated thing is between them, it isn't the terrible thing you're picturing in your head.""That doesn't make it right," Jeff whispered, his eyes finally rising to meet hers, heavy with unb

An hour later, Claire walked into the bedroom to find Maya curled up on the edge of her bed, knees pulled tight to her chest, her whole body shaking with quiet, broken sobs that she had been desperately trying to keep buried."Baby," Claire whispered, crossing the room to sit beside her and wrapping her arms gently around her daughter's trembling shoulders.The moment Maya felt her mother's warmth, she crumbled, collapsing completely into Claire's shoulder as a fresh wave of tears tore through her. "Please, Mama," she sobbed, her voice cracking apart with raw, desperate longing, though Claire had no way of knowing how much of that panic belonged to the truth rather than the lie Maya was forced to live. "Please, I need you to understand. I need you on my side."Claire held her tightly, stroking her hair as her own heart broke. "I'm trying, baby. I'm trying. But since when? When did you fall for him?"Maya's breath hitched, a sharp gasp catching in her throat."Since the moment I saw hi
