Kai’s POV

Something felt off the moment Megan asked me to come over.

She tried to sound normal on the phone, but I knew her better than that. Megan doesn’t just call without a reason. And she definitely doesn’t ask for time to “talk” unless something is bothering her deeply.

I barely slept that night. My mind kept running in circles, thinking of all the reasons she could be worried. The kids. Her father. Joe. Any one of them could bring trouble, and Megan had been standing on thin ground for a

  • His Regret, Rise Of The Boss Lady    Chapter 90 – Cracks Between Us

    Megan's POV By the time I arrived at the boys' school, the afternoon sun had already begun to soften. Parents stood outside the gate chatting among themselves while children poured out of the classrooms with their backpacks bouncing behind them. I leaned against the car, smiling as I searched through the crowd for Ethan and Cole. "There she is!" Cole suddenly shouted. "Momma!" Ethan added excitedly. The two of them came running towards me with bright smiles on their faces, and before I knew it, they had both wrapped their little arms around my waist. "Easy, easy," I laughed, crouching down to kiss each of their foreheads. "You two nearly knocked me over." "Sorry, Momma," Cole giggled. "Were you waiting for long?" Ethan asked as I helped them into the back seat. "Not really. Did you both have a good day?" "It was fun!" Cole answered immediately. "We had football today," Ethan added proudly. "Our team won." "I scored one goal," Cole quickly interrupted. "No, you

  • His Regret, Rise Of The Boss Lady    Chapter 89 – A Smile Through the Fence

    Joe's POVI remained seated inside the car even after Ethan started walking toward me.My fingers tightened around the edge of the seat as I watched him draw closer with each passing second. I could hear Carl saying something beside me, probably warning me not to do anything stupid, but his voice sounded distant. All my attention was fixed on the little boy approaching the fence with curious eyes."Joe," Carl called again, this time a little louder. "Don't even think about stepping out."I let out a quiet breath, forcing myself to relax against the seat."I'm not," I replied, though I wasn't sure if I was trying to convince him or myself.Ethan stopped right in front of the fence, resting both hands on the metal bars as he looked in my direction. His brows pulled together slightly as though he was trying to remember where he had seen me before. For a brief moment, panic settled in my chest. Had he recognized me? Surely not. I had deliberately worn a plain black hoodie with the hood pu

  • His Regret, Rise Of The Boss Lady    Chapter 88 – Learning to Wait

    Joe's POVFor the first time in a long while, I didn't wake up thinking about how to get Megan back.Instead, I woke up thinking about my sons.It felt strange.If someone had asked me a month ago what mattered most to me, I would've said Megan without hesitation. I wanted her back in my house, back in my bed and back carrying my last name like nothing had ever happened.Now things were different.Not because I had stopped loving her.Far from it.But after everything my father and lawyer had said, I was beginning to understand something I should have realized years ago.I couldn't force my way back into her life.Not anymore.I sat at the edge of my bed, rubbing my face before reaching for the notebook lying on my bedside table.A week ago, my father had thrown it at me after another long lecture."If you can't control your mouth, at least control your thoughts. Write them down instead of acting on every stupid idea that comes into your head."At the time I thought it was ridiculous.

  • His Regret, Rise Of The Boss Lady    Chapter 87 – A Difficult Decision

    Kai's POVI leaned against the balcony railing with a cup of coffee in my hand, staring at the courtyard below where the guards were carefully moving the gifts into one of the storage rooms.Not a single item had entered the main house.That was Megan's decision.After talking to Ethan, she'd finally calmed down enough to think things through. She didn't want to throw the gifts away because the boys had already seen them, but she also wasn't ready to let them accept everything so easily.It was a compromise.The books, educational kits and sports equipment would stay for now, while the more expensive gifts would remain locked away until we decided what to do with them.Personally, I didn't care about the toys.What worried me was the man who had sent them."Morning."Anton walked onto the balcony carrying a file under his arm. He rested his elbows on the railing beside me before following my gaze to the workers below."So..." he said. "The old man finally made his move."I gave a smal

    ****Megan's POV**** The guards were still moving around the gifts, making one last inspection before giving Kai the final report. Ethan and Cole stood a short distance away, whispering to each other as they admired the bicycles, footballs and boxes of toys spread across the driveway.I folded the letter carefully and slipped it back into the envelope before looking at Kai."What do you think?" I asked.He took one last glance at the gifts before answering. "I think Don Julian knows exactly what he's is doing."His answer wasn't what I wanted to hear because it confirmed the fear that had been sitting in my chest since the gifts arrived.Joe was reckless. Whenever he wanted something, he forced his way into it. He threatened, argued and lost his temper whenever things didn't go his way.His father was different.Don Julian never forced himself into people's lives. He simply waited for the right moment and took one careful step at a time.That made him far more dangerous.One of the gu

  • His Regret, Rise Of The Boss Lady    Chapter 85 – A Gesture Too Kind

    Megan's POVI stepped out of my room, not quite sure how I was supposed to feel after that call with Miranda.I still couldn't believe she'd been shameless enough to call me about my children with Joe and then ask to meet me as though I owed her an explanation.The nerve of that woman.Kai's voice, along with the boys', echoed down the hallway. It seemed they'd finally wrapped up their gaming session and were heading for breakfast.I leaned against the staircase, resting my hands on my waist as I watched their faces light up the moment they saw me."Momma!"Ethan and Cole ran toward me, wrapping their little arms tightly around my waist."Good morning, Momma! We missed you!""Good morning, my sweet boys."I crouched to their height and planted a soft kiss on each of their foreheads."I guess I deserve one too... or don't I?" Kai smirked as the boys ran ahead toward Kathie."Kai..." I waved him off shyly.He remained standing there, hands on his hips, wearing that same smug smile."Okay

    Joe’s POVI was a hundred push-ups in when my phone started buzzing like it had a personal vendetta against my peace. Sweat dripped from my brow, stinging my eyes, but I didn’t stop until the vibration became impossible to ignore. One hundred and one. One hundred and two. Then the screen lit up aga

I’d used it in interrogations, negotiations, executions—moments where hesitation meant death.But using it on M
