Chapter 80

Bella’s POV

Something shifted immediately, and I saw it the moment Zach’s eyes hardened just for a second.

It was subtle, almost invisible, but I knew him too well. That focus, that clarity… it didn’t belong to my control, but it belonged to Livia.

A sharp wave of irritation curled inside my chest as my nails dug into my palm, and I forced a soft smile onto my face.

Even now? I thought bitterly. Even like this… You still look for her?

I tilted my head, studying him carefully. “Zach…

  • Her Cold-Hearted Alpha’s Regret   Chapter 111

    Chapter 111Livia’s POVThe moment the Beta carried Bella out of the mansion, everyone thought it was simply to remove the chaos she had created, but that was far from the truth. There was a hidden plan in it.The Beta tightened his arms around her struggling body while his expression remained cold and unreadable as he took her out.Bella had been too busy cursing, threatening, and trying to scratch his face to notice the tiny piece of modeling clay hidden beneath the beta's glove.It was just one touch that was all we needed, but Bella gave him far more than that.Earlier, the cup I held had already been prepared with latent fingerprint material, and Damian had insisted it was necessary in case the clay failed. We had planned every detail carefully, expecting resistance and difficulty, but instead… Bella practically handed us everything so easily.***Back to the present.I stood beside the large monitor in Damian’s study, my arms folded tightly across my chest, while Damian careful

  • Her Cold-Hearted Alpha’s Regret   Chapter 110

    Bella’s POVMy fingers dug into my bag like claws tearing into flesh as I searched my bag looking for the items that I had come with.“No… no, no, no… this is not possible,” I muttered as I became restless and furious. My breath came in sharp, uneven bursts as I overturned everything inside the bag but could only see my lip gloss, a compact mirror, and a folded scarf. Nothing else was inside the bag. There was no phone, the vial wasn't inside, and no ring box. The bag looks so empty that I began to wonder if that was the bag I took along to Livia's place.At that moment, nothing mattered to me again as I became so confused and bitter.My heart slammed violently against my chest, each beat louder than the last, echoing in my ears like a war drum.“I had it… I had it!” I muttered uncomfortably.My voice cracked, rising into something almost feral. I froze, my eyes darting, trying to retrace every second, every movement, and every glance.I thought about the car, the road, and the numb

  • Her Cold-Hearted Alpha’s Regret    Chapter 109

    Livia’s POVI watched as Alexa stared at the journal, as it had personally offended her. Out of the things I took from Bella, it seems the journal was what took her interest the most.“Is there anything that matters?” I asked, looking at her for an explanation.“Oh, I already know what’s inside,” Alexa scoffed, folding her arms. “Pages and pages of Bella crying, whining, and cursing your name. I can feel the bitterness from here,” she says.I narrowed my eyes. “Then open it.” Alexa tilted her head slowly, a sly smile creeping onto her lips. “Eager to die, are we?” she asked calmly.“I’m not scared of ink and paper,” I said boldly, staring at her.“Poison isn’t always visible, Livia,” Alexa snapped sharply. “And Bella isn’t stupid, just insane.”But before I could react, Alexa snatched the journal from my hands. “Hey…” I muttered.“I said I don’t want you dead yet,” Alexa cut in coldly. “At least not from something this pathetic.”I clenched my jaw, irritation flashing across my face,

  • Her Cold-Hearted Alpha’s Regret   Chapter 108

    Chapter 108Livia’s POVThe pain came in waves, sharp, merciless, and unforgiving. A broken wail tore from my throat as I staggered into the room, my body trembling, my face still burning from Bella’s strikes. Every step felt like I was dragging shards of glass through my veins. I barely made it to the bed before collapsing onto it, clutching my side, breath uneven.I was just lying there staring at the ceiling when the door suddenly creaked open, and laughter followed. A laughter that was bright, carefree, and completely out of place.“Wow…” Alexa’s voice dripped with mock admiration as she leaned against the doorframe, arms folded, eyes scanning me from head to toe. “What happened to my beautiful Livia?” she asked, looking at me as I laid on the bed like a lifeless body.I shot her a glare through teary eyes, my lips trembling from both pain and irritation.“Don’t…” I winced, gripping the bedsheet tightly. “Don’t start, Alexa.” I muttered out trying to suppress the pain I was feeli

  • Her Cold-Hearted Alpha’s Regret   Chapter 107

    Chapter 107Bella’s POVThe sight of Livia on the floor, looking weak, trembling, and reduced, sent a thrill through me so sharp it felt like victory itself.Then I laughed, not softly, not politely, but loud, raw, and unrestrained, but was careful enough not to draw the attention of her guards.“You called off your guards?” I scoffed, pacing around her like a predator circling prey. “Livia… Livia…” I shook my head slowly. “For someone who acts so powerfully, you can be unbelievably foolish.”She didn’t answer because she couldn’t. Her body curled slightly, fingers still clutching her head, breath uneven.“Look at you,” I continued, my voice dripping with mock sympathy. “The great Livia… brought down by her own arrogance.”I nudged her with my foot, but no response. That only made me grin wider.I kicked her again, harder this time around but her body rolled slightly across the floor, a faint gasp escaping her lips.“Yes,” I breathed, laughing again. “That’s it… feel it.”Another kic

  • Her Cold-Hearted Alpha’s Regret   Chapter 106

    Chapter 106Bella’s POVI knew it as my instincts told me the moment our eyes met, the moment she smiled that calm, knowing smile, I knew that Livia had already suspected me.A silent scream tore through me, clawing at my chest, but my face remained composed, perfect, and untouchable. I refused to let her see even a crack.She’s ruining everything I had built. Every careful step, every sleepless night spent planning her fall, and yet there she was sitting across from me like a queen on her throne.Feeling untouched, unbothered, and unbreakable. My fingers curled slightly against my lap as heat surged through me. Rage, jealousy, and hatred burned so deep that I could taste it.No… not unbreakable, and not tonight.Livia lifted a glass and slid it toward me with slow, deliberate grace.“Don’t reject it this time,” she said smoothly, her voice soft but laced with something sharp. Something warning, and my jaw tightened, and infuriating.Absolutely infuriating, and she thought she was in

Not just wrong but terribly wrong, and no ma

No, I walked slowly, my steps measured and controlled because panic would ruin everything.Behind me, Bella’s muffled screams still echoed faintly through the hallway, clawing at the walls like a trapped animal.
