His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady Chapter 71 — Fierce cracks
Joe's POV I watched life drain out of Megan's face as she stepped out of the SUV. Shocked to see me right at her gate.“What are you doing here, Joe?” She asked, hands trembling.I smirked walking closer but of course that unpaid guard of hers, Kai stepped in.“Megan,” I snarled, sniffing in excitement. “You’ve been hard to reach. I thought we should talk. Face to face. About the boys.”She trembled, clinging to her sundress as it swung with the wind.“They’re not your concern.” she snarled, eyes blazing, almost piercing my skin. “Aren’t they?”My eyes flicked to Kai, then back to Megan. I was enjoying this, the cold stare on her face and Kai's glare like he was about to explode.I chuckled though a low one as a smile etched on the corner of my lips. “Interesting company you keep these days. But then again… you always did like collecting strays.”Kai didn’t flinch. “Leave, Joe. Now.”This bastard, he still thought he was in control… coming in-between us like he was part of this.“I
His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady Chapter 70 — Blurred Lines
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 again—relentless.I pushed off the mat, chest heaving, mind still tangled in the same loop it had been running for days: Megan laughing in the front seat of that SUV, Kai’s hand on the wheel like he owned the road, and those two little boys in the back—my boys—oblivious to the storm I was about to unleash.The caller ID flashed: Old Man 🐍I wiped my face with the hem of my shirt and answered. “What’s up, old man?”Don Julian’s voice came through like gravel dragged over concrete.“Come to my study. Now.”The line went dead before I could respond.I stared at the phone for a second, half-expecting it to bite me. Puzzled didn’t even cover it. I tossed the towel aside, grabbed a fresh shirt from
His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady Chapter 69 — The peace we protect
Megan's POVThe morning sun spilled across Wills Bay like liquid gold, turning the water into a mirror of light and making the sand glow warm under our feet. Ethan and Cole were already halfway down the beach, pedal karts abandoned for the morning in favor of chasing waves that rolled in lazy and slow. Their laughter bounced off the water, high and bright, the kind of sound that made everything else feel small and far away.I stood ankle-deep in the surf, arms wrapped loosely around myself, watching them. Kai came up behind me, his chest brushing my back as he slipped his arms around my waist. His chin rested on my shoulder, breath warm against my ear.“They’re going to be waterlogged by noon,” he murmured, voice still rough from sleep.I smiled, leaning back into him. “Let them. They’ve earned it.”Last night still hummed under my skin—the confessions, the way we’d finally let go of every last wall between us, the quiet promises whispered in the dark. I felt lighter than I had in yea
His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady Chapter 68 — Fragments of Warmth
Kai’s POVI watched Megan sleep so peacefully against my bare chest, her cheek pressed to my skin, rising and falling in perfect rhythm with each slow breath. My heart was hammering—too loud, too fast. I was convinced the thud would wake her. But she only sighed softly, nestling closer, one arm draped loosely across my ribs.My fingers found their way into her hair, stroking the strands with a gentleness I rarely allowed myself to show. Peace. That was all I’d ever wanted to give her. I’d watched her carry burdens no one person should have to shoulder alone—watched her train until her knuckles bled, watched her raise two boys with fierce, unwavering love, watched her rebuild herself piece by piece after Joe tried to shatter her. All I’d ever wanted was to be the place she could finally rest.But peace, I’d learned the hard way, sometimes meant fighting first. It meant winning in the end.For years I’d been in love with her. Deeply. Quietly. Terrifyingly. The fear of her pulling away—
His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady Chapter 67 — BIG SIX
Megan's POV “Hip hip hip hurray!” we all shouted in perfect, chaotic unison.Kai popped the cork on the sparkling grape juice (the “wine” version safe for little hands and my still-nursing-a-headache-from-travel brain), and fizzy purple liquid sprayed in triumphant arcs. Droplets caught the late-afternoon sun and glittered like tiny fireworks. Ethan and Cole shrieked with pure, uncontainable delight, jumping up and down on the soft white sand as if gravity had temporarily taken the day off.Balloons—gold, silver, navy, and emerald—bobbed above us on long ribbons tied to weighted anchors. A massive banner stretched between two palm trees fluttered in the sea breeze: “HAPPY SIXTH BIRTHDAY, ETHAN AND COLE!” The letters were cut from shimmering holographic foil that shifted colors every time the wind moved it. I’d spent way too many late nights designing it, but seeing their faces light up made every second worth it.“Happy birthday, my babies,” I whispered, dropping to my knees and pul
His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady Chapter 66 — Nowhere to Be Found
Joe’s POV“So… what about the kids?” I asked, leaning casually against the low wall outside the school’s administrative building, arms folded, eyes locked on the woman I’d just cornered.Ms. Annie—the same soft-spoken caretaker who always smiled too politely when my father, Don Julian, came to volunteer. She’d seen me enough the last time to know exactly who I was. Or at least, so I thought.She blinked up at me, confusion etching deeper lines into her forehead. “And you are…?”I exhaled through my nose, patience already fraying. Reaching into my jacket pocket, I pulled out my embossed business card—thick cardstock, gold lettering—and held it out between two fingers.She took it gingerly, scanned the name, and her eyes widened. “Oh, Mr. Joe Julian… I’m so sorry, sir. I wasn’t expecting you back here so soon. It’s not your usual visit day. Is something wrong? Or… is this different?”“It’s very different,” I said, voice low and even. “And it’s highly important. I need to see the kids m
