Joe’s POV

I enjoyed a thick glass of wine in my penthouse, expecting the arrival of my esteemed guest, my legs crossed on the table, tie slightly undone and a knowing smirk sitting at the corner of my lips.

Carl sat across from me typing furiously on his laptop as he kept stealing glances my way.

“Ask,” I finally said, looking away in delight and suddenly growing bored of his quiet stares. “Why do you keep staring like you’ve suddenly lost your ability to speak these days?”

  • His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady    CHAPTER 80 — Sweet Lies and Manipulation

    Joe’s POVI enjoyed a thick glass of wine in my penthouse, expecting the arrival of my esteemed guest, my legs crossed on the table, tie slightly undone and a knowing smirk sitting at the corner of my lips.Carl sat across from me typing furiously on his laptop as he kept stealing glances my way.“Ask,” I finally said, looking away in delight and suddenly growing bored of his quiet stares. “Why do you keep staring like you’ve suddenly lost your ability to speak these days?”“You look exceptionally confident these days,” Carl muttered. “For a man whose ex-wife and kids are currently being protected by another man.”“Point of correction,” I grinned. “My wife. Megan and I are still legally married. And second of all, the hell with that bastard. I have a sweet plan on how to win Megan back and have my kids calling me papa.”Carl rolled his eyes immediately.“This is the time to be careful, Joe. No time for those reckless steps you always took toward Megan. She’s feisty now and extremely g

  • His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady    CHAPTER 79 — No More Weak Spots

    Kai’s POVI didn’t know if it was just me, but the tension around the kids’ attendant felt a little too heavy for someone simply escorting a parent to the principal’s office.Or maybe she was nervous because the children in question were under her supervision.Either way, I needed to establish something very clearly in this school.Ethan and Cole were not children anyone could casually expose to strangers.The teacher finally stopped in front of the principal’s office and knocked softly, her hands trembling slightly at her sides.A quiet voice answered from inside.“Come in.”She pushed the door open gently and stepped aside for me to enter first.“Sir… this is one of the boys’ guardians. Ethan and Cole’s…”The principal barely looked up until he heard the twins’ names. The moment his eyes landed on me, recognition flashed across his face and his expression tightened.“Mr… Kai,” he muttered quickly, dismissing the teacher with a wave of his hand.“I see you still recognize me after al

  • His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady    CHAPTER 78 — A Threat Laced In Silence

    Kai’s POVMegan noticed the shift in my expression immediately and sensed something was wrong. She ushered the kids toward the dining table for breakfast before slowly walking closer to me.“What is wrong?” she asked warily. “What did Anton say?”I hesitated for a moment, not wanting her to worry when what she truly needed was rest, but knowing Megan, she wouldn’t calm down until she knew the full situation herself.“It’s Joe” I said finally. “He had one of men patrolling around the estate. The guards found footage of him around the estate and near the school surveillance system.”“What?” Megan whispered, her hand slipping from the staircase railing she’d been holding onto moments ago in laughter and ease.Now her fingers trembled.“This was weeks ago,” I continued carefully. “Even before Joe arrived at the estate. His men had already found the kids’ school route and had been following your car before repeatedly losing the trail.”Megan exhaled shakily.“I guess after enough tries, he

  • His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady    CHAPTER 77 — The Things We Protect

    Kai’s POVBy the time Megan and I were done training, we were both heaving in exhaustion, sweat clinging to our skin as we made jokes about each other’s stance and composure while fighting just to ease the mood around us, yet the lingering fear of Joe Julian taking the kids still weighed heavily in the air.On my part, I tried swaying Megan’s mind off the situation even if only for a short while so she could rest, but every now and then I still caught the worry in her face.She was scared.Not for herself.For the boys.For the tug of war that was coming.I could tell she barely had any proper sleep since Joe showed up at the estate with those DNA papers.I watched her as she lay on the mat, back flat against the floor, eyes wide open like she was afraid to spare even a second for rest.“When are you going to give yourself a break, Megan?”She turned toward me with a small smile.“Break? I’m literally resting right now, what do you mean?” she laughed lightly.“No, Megan. I mean actual

  • His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady    CHAPTER 76 — Come at me like a man

    Megan’s POVEver since Joe had appeared at the estate waving those papers around, fear had settled deep into my bones like poison and I hated the thought of him feeling superior over me.—Him seeing me break.I hated jumping at every sound around my kids these past few days, hated being extremely careful around them so badly that even they sensed my fear and grew worried and alert around the house. They asked questions, pressed on about wanting to know who Joe was and if he was going to take them away.I hated having my kids feel unsafe even around me.I was slowly going back to being that broken woman Joe had once manipulated into his control and that was the worst image any mother would want her kids to see her through.The tossing and turning in my bed wasn’t helping matters. I could barely sleep these days, always walking around the house, checking my kids’ room every few minutes like Joe was going to slip in through the windows and steal them away even with the hefty guards patro

  • His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady    Chapter 75 — Legal solutions

    Megan's POVMy eyes kept darting from the door to the clock and back to the door as I and Kai waited patiently in Victoria's office, his hands resting over mine.Suddenly the doorknob twisted open revealing Victoria in all her glory, elegant as always in a fitted black suit and red heels that clicked sharply against the floor.But my chest was too heavy to admire her properly.“Welcome, Ms Megan and—?”“Kai Slayer,” Kai stood up almost immediately extending his hand for a handshake but Victoria only paused for a second, her eyes moving from him to me.“We're together,” I explained softly.A knowing look crossed her face before she finally took his handshake.“Welcome Mr Kai, please have a seat.”Kai nodded calmly and sat back down beside me while Victoria settled into her chair opposite us.“I noted your message from my secretary Mr Kai,” she began calmly, opening a file on her desk, “and I deeply understand the intensity of the situation.”I swallowed hard.The intensity.That was on

    Megan’s POVI didn’t know how long I had been holding on to Kai.Time felt strange — stretched, blurred — like my body had only just realized the weight it had been carrying for days was finally gone. My arms were wrapped tightly around him, my face pressed against his chest, and for a moment, I fo
