HIS UNCLE’S WIFE: BILLIONAIRE’S REGRET Chapter 73
The first thing Brian noticed when the bag was removed from his head was the light.It was weak and yellow, coming from a single bulb hanging from the ceiling, but after being trapped in darkness for what felt like hours, even that small amount of light made him squint.He tried to move and the wooden chair under him creaked.His wrists were tied firmly behind the chair, and another rope secured his body against it, making it impossible for him to stand. His breathing quickened as fragments of memory returned—the message on his phone, the dark area behind the hotel, Katie standing near the pool, the sudden attack, and then darkness.His eyes moved rapidly around the room. The place looked abandoned.The walls were stained and cracked, several windows had been boarded up, and old furniture covered in dust had been pushed against one side of the room. A broken ceiling fan hung motionless above him, while the floor was scattered with pieces of wood and debris.Brian swallowed. “Katie.” H

Katie’s lips parted, but no words came. She remained frozen outside the door, listening to the silence that followed Damien’s confession.Then she slowly lowered her hand from her mouth. She didn’t open the door or confront him. She just turned around and walked away.Every step felt heavier, as if her body was moving while her mind remained at that door, still trying to understand the words she had just heard.I don’t have any interest in her. Katie pressed her lips together as she walked through the venue, refusing to let the tears fall. She had to get away. She didn’t know where she was going, and she didn’t care.When she reached the pool area, she stopped.The music had been turned down, and most of the guests were already leaving. Staff members were clearing empty glasses from the tables while others directed guests toward the hotel entrance, where the private rooms and suites were located.A man with a microphone stood near the entrance, addressing the remaining guests and tha

Katie had barely walked away from Theresa and Damien when a strange uneasiness settled over her.She tried to ignore it. She moved toward the pool, finding an empty chair under one of the large umbrellas, but she couldn’t stop herself from glancing back every few seconds.Theresa was still speaking to Damien. Whatever she was saying seemed important because Damien’s attention remained fixed on her.Katie looked away.She didn’t want to seem like she was monitoring them. She picked up a glass of water from the table beside her and took a small sip, trying to settle her thoughts.A few minutes passed before she noticed Damien and Theresa walking toward one of the private lounges attached to the venue.Katie frowned. Why were they leaving? She watched them disappear through the doors. Perhaps Theresa had something personal to discuss with him.Katie lowered her gaze.She reminded herself that Damien was an adult and Theresa was someone his family had known for years. There was no reason

Katie had tried to push Rita out of her thoughts after returning to work, but every time she remembered the sight of Rita dropping to her knees, something uncomfortable twisted inside her chest.Katie still couldn’t decide whether Rita’s tears had been genuine. Perhaps she was sorry. Perhaps she was simply desperate. Either way, Katie didn’t want to think about it tonight.She had promised Damien she would attend the pool party, and she intended to keep it.After changing out of her work clothes, she stood in front of her wardrobe and stared at the clothes inside.She eventually picked out something suitable for a pool party, then changed carefully, making sure not to put unnecessary pressure on her recovering leg.When she finished, she checked herself in the mirror before grabbing her handbag. As she walked downstairs, she heard voices coming from the living room.She entered and stopped. Damien was already ready. He wore a loose shirt with shorts, looking considerably more relaxed

Katie stared at Rita, unable to believe that the woman who had spent years fighting her was now standing in her office looking completely broken.Then the surprise turned into anger.Katie turned sharply toward the receptionist. “Did you let her walk in here?”The receptionist immediately stood. “Ma’am, I—”“Did you?” Her voice carried across the reception area, making Emma and Harry glance in their direction.The receptionist swallowed nervously. “She said she had an appointment with you, ma’am, and—”“I never gave her an appointment.”“I’m sorry, ma’am. I should have confirmed with you first.”Katie clenched her jaw. “From now on, nobody sees me without an appointment. I don’t care who they are.”“Yes, ma’am.”Katie reached for her phone. “Call security.”Rita’s face changed. “No, Katie.”Katie didn’t even look at her. “Call them.”“Katie, please.” The desperation in Rita’s voice finally made Katie turn around. Rita took a step toward her, tears already filling her eyes. “Please, j

The next morning, Katie woke earlier than usual and stayed still under the covers, staring at the ceiling. After waiting for a while, Katie exhaled and slowly pushed herself upright. She carefully moved it before getting out of bed, relieved that she could walk without the sharp discomfort she had experienced the day before.After getting dressed for work, she picked up her handbag and headed downstairs. Damien was already there.He stood near the dining table with a cup of coffee in his hand, looking through something on his phone.When he noticed Katie, his eyes immediately moved toward her leg. “How does it feel?”Katie glanced down. “It’s Better.”He nodded, although his expression suggested he wasn’t entirely convinced. Katie reached for a glass of water before noticing that Damien seemed to be waiting to tell her something.“What?”He looked up. “We got invited to a pool party tonight.”Katie paused. “A pool party?”“Yes.”“Who invited us?”“Someone from the family’s circle.
