last update Last Updated: 2025-12-31 22:03:23

Brandon’s POV

I slammed the front door behind me harder than I meant to, the sound cracking through the marble hallway like a gunshot. For a brief, petty second, I hoped it would scare someone into silence.

Oh boy It didn’t.

The house that once felt like a trophy now echoed like a punishment chamber. A place I now avoided after work hours. I missed finding hot meals and running water, but now? I had to cook, clean and wash because my girl, Amelia was pregnant.

Aria would have done those things. I thought.

She never gave excuses, even after she had her first miscarriage.

Every step I took inside it reminded me of how much money I’d sunk into things that didn’t matter....unpolished floors no one respected, glass tables constantly smudged with fingerprints, walls too white, too clean, too empty.

From the living room came Richard’s shrill voice, rising and falling in dramatic wails that grated straight into my skull.

“No! I don’t want that one! I want the red one! The red one!”

  • Dating My Husband's Billionaire Boss: His Regret   Chapter 32: Cuddles

    Aria’s POVI woke up slowly, the way you do when your body registers comfort before your mind catches up. The bed was warm. Too warm to be empty. My muscles felt loose and heavy, that dull, pleasant ache reminding me exactly how the night had ended.Sunlight slipped through the half-closed curtains, landing in uneven lines across Ethan’s back. He was lying on his side, facing me, his arm draped loosely around my waist. His thumb moved in absentminded circles against my skin, unhurried, familiar.He was awake.I didn’t open my eyes right away. I just stayed there, breathing him in, letting the moment stretch. There was something fragile about mornings like this. They always felt borrowed, like if I moved too fast or spoke too soon, reality would snap back into place.Then the mattress shifted.His arm slipped away. Cool air replaced the warmth at my side. I opened my eyes just as he stood, pulling on yesterday’s sweatpants and running a hand through his hair. He didn’t say anything. Ju

  • Dating My Husband's Billionaire Boss: His Regret   Chapter 31: Lips

    Aria’s POVThe house had finally gone quiet from all the chaos.The kind of silence that presses against your eardrums and makes every small sound feel like a warning. I hadn’t slept. How could I? My phone still sat dark on the nightstand—no reply yet from my contact, but I knew it was coming. The waiting felt like holding my breath underwater. Every tick of the clock reminded me that the rest of the world was still spinning outside this room, while inside… Inside, I was trying not to fall apart. I had changed out of the emerald dress hours ago. It lay crumpled on the floor like a shed skin—beautiful once, ruined now. I wore one of his old T-shirts instead, the soft gray cotton that still smelled faintly of his cologne. A small, desperate act of possession. I was sitting on the edge of the bed, knees drawn up, staring at nothing when the door opened without a knock. Ethan. He looked wrecked. Hair disheveled, shirt untucked, sleeves rolled to his elbows. Shadows under h

    Aria’s POVThe words were right there.Balanced on the edge of my tongue—sharp enough to draw blood, precise enough to end everything Sophia has been planning.It would take is one sentence and one revelation. The proof sat heavy in my purse downstairs, medical reports that would rip the mask off Sophia’s face and expose her sickness for what it really was: a lie carefully rehearsed and endlessly rewarded.I opened my mouth.And then she broke instantly, clutching her body like someone spilled hot water on her.Sophia’s body went slack in Ethan’s arms, her face crumpling as if something inside her had finally shattered. A sob tore out of her chest—raw, ugly, desperate. She clutched at her side, folding into herself, fingers digging into his jacket like she was holding on to the last thing keeping her upright.“It hurts,” she cried, voice trembling violently. “Ethan… it hurts so much...My body hurts so badly. I—I’m sorry. I didn’t want to ruin tonight. I just wanted you to be happy.”T

  • Dating My Husband's Billionaire Boss: His Regret   Chapter 29: Over the Night

    Aria’s POVMy heart had been racing long before the low rumble of his car finally broke the silence outside.I stood on the upstairs balcony, fingers smoothing the edge of the crisp white tablecloth for the third time, even though it didn’t need it. "Oh gosh, I hope he loves this." I said anxiously, I wanted to do something nice for him, I had prepared a golden watch that I neatly placed on the decorated table, along with tasty meals that I had the best chefs-Le Romanas, you need to book them weeks to months before, but them being my grandparents personal chefs, they could never refuse my request. Fairy lights glowed softly along the railing, casting warm halos against the dark. Candles flickered in their glass holders, flames bending with the night breeze, and the rich scent of grilled steak and rosemary lingered in the air—comforting, hopeful.Everything was ready. Thought through. Carefully planned.Too carefully, maybe.I exhaled slowly, pressing a hand to my chest as the engine

  • Dating My Husband's Billionaire Boss: His Regret   Chapter 28: Closer to Her

    Brandon's POVThe boardroom at Universal Holdings smelled of polished mahogany and stale coffee, the kind of scent that clung to old money and older secrets. Sunlight sliced through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting sharp shadows across the long conference table. I sat at the end, hands folded calmly in front of me, though my knuckles were white from the grip I held on my control.I knew what I wanted here and I was going to get it. The twelve board members shifted in their seats, their eyes flicking toward me with a mix of curiosity and caution. I'd chosen my charcoal suit carefully—tailored to perfection, paired with a crisp white shirt and the company's signature blue tie. The picture of reliability. But inside, my mind was a storm. 'One wrong word, and it all falls apart. They've vetted me, but what if they dig deeper? What if Margaret uncovers the real reason I'm here?' I thought.Harold Vance, the chairman, cleared his throat. "Brandon, your proposal is strong. Ten years

  • Dating My Husband's Billionaire Boss: His Regret   Chapter 27: Gliding Tongues

    Aria's POVThe air in the room was thick, saturated with the warm musk scent of his skin and the faint vanilla clinging to mine. The bedside lamp painted everything in a hazy gold, but my heart hammered so violently I could feel it in my throat, drowning out the distant hum of the city.Ethan hovered above me, breath ragged, eyes almost black with desire. His thumb traced my lower lip, he licked his lips when his eyes pierced into mine.....and I parted for him without thinking. That single touch ignited a spark that raced straight to my core, but beneath the heat, something twisted.. A dozen worries I had buried inside my mind.What if this changes everything? What if I’m not enough? What if, after this, he sees me differently… or I see myself differently?I’d wanted him for so long, dreamed of this exact moment, but now that it was here, doubt clawed at the edges of my certainty. I’d never gone this far with anyone. Never let anyone this close. The vulnerability terrified me as
