The alley swallowed sound.

The city itself appeared to hold its breath.

The shooter couldn't have gone very far. He knelt next to a dumpsite and ran his hand over a warm patch of blood on the brick.

"Whoever you are, you're hurt," he whispered.

Then he heard it, the faint metallic clink of a freshly fired .38 caliber casing rolling against stone. The kind that the police used.

Jack’s pulse quickened. A dirty cop, maybe. Or someone dressed like one.

He rose, weapon steady, and moved toward the ri

  • My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret   Chapter 152

    The morning was impossibly quiet.Sunlight crept across Lilian’s living room, tracing soft gold over the floor, her shoes, and the small suitcase by the door. The air itself seemed to pause—waiting.Lilian stood before the mirror, fastening a delicate necklace around her throat. She stared at her reflection for a long moment—not because she doubted, but because she finally knew.This woman—with scars, with memories, with breath still trembling—had come back to life.A soft knock.Jack stood in the doorway, dressed in a simple dark shirt, sleeves rolled up, badge clipped to his belt—but today, he was not just a detective.He was the man who once stood between her and death.The man who guarded without demanding.Who stayed without asking for repayment.He hesitated. “Are you ready?”Lilian smiled gently. “For the first time in a long time… yes.”They walked out together, leaving the door unlocked—she would never again live behind cages she didn’t build.*********The courthouse felt

  • My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret   Chapter 151

    The city had begun to breathe again.Weeks had passed since the explosion. The news cycle, desperate for new meat, moved on to elections, celebrity scandals, and stock crashes. But for those who lived the story—not watched it—life hadn’t returned to “normal.”Normal was gone.What they had now was… something different.Something raw.Something real.*********Lilian walked through the park near her apartment, clutching a warm paper cup between her palms. Joggers passed. Children laughed. Dogs barked at pigeons—life’s orchestra continuing without apology.Her steps were slow—not because her body was weak, but because she was learning to listen again.To herself.To her heart.To silence.The wind pulled at her hair, sweeping curls across her cheek. She closed her eyes—one breath at a time.Some days, healing felt like a victory.Other days—like climbing a hill barefoot.Today… was somewhere in between.“Lilian.”Her eyes opened.Jack Macon stood a few feet away.The man wasn’t loud—not

  • My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret   Chapter 150

    The city didn’t wake up gently the next morning. It rose to chaos—buzzing phones, screaming headlines, news presenters breathing into microphones like preachers of disaster.“Explosion in Industrial District—Three Suspects Dead, One Critical!”“Corporate Scandal: Rita Adibo Confirmed Deceased—Connection to Chris Newton Under Investigation.”“Massive Conspiracy Unraveled—Love Affair, Betrayal, Blood Trails.”Every media house feasted.But for the people at the center, it wasn’t news. It was heavy. It was personal.*********Chris Newton sat alone in a silent interrogation room.His once immaculate white shirt was crumpled, his sleeves rolled up, his expensive wristwatch replaced with cold metal cuffs. His hair—a signature slicked-back style—now fell messily across his forehead. He stared blankly at the two-way mirror, eyes swollen and red.It had taken less than twelve hours for everything to crumble.Detective Morrow entered, slow and emotionless. He dropped a file onto the steel tabl

  • My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret   Chapter 149

    The air tasted like fear.The old underground warehouse—once Darcy’s secret hideout—smelled of rust, fuel, and damp concrete. Concrete pillars towered like silent witnesses, and broken crates lay everywhere, remnants of something darker that once lived there. A baby-blue light flickered from a half-dead fluorescent bulb overhead, casting long haunted shadows that danced across the floor.Rita stood at the center of it all.Her hair, once immaculate and styled to perfection, now clung to her forehead in sweat. Her makeup—smudged, streaked, defeated—betrayed that the confident woman who engineered lives from behind screens and whispers… was now cornered, exposed. Her hands trembled, yet her chin remained raised, defiant.Behind her, stacked unevenly like a careless grave, were metal containers stenciled with faded warnings:HIGH EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL – PROPERTY OF DARCY INDUSTRIES.Explosives. Enough to turn this entire building—and half the surrounding street—into smoke.Kelvin, Lilian, a

    A metallic clang echoed across the chamber as the vault fully locked into place. The scent of cold steel and seawater settled into the air—sharp, metallic, and cruel.Jack stepped forward.He had seen death before, chased monsters across alleyways and penthouses…But nothing in twenty years of police work prepared him for this.The cavern opened wider beneath them—a cathedral of syndicate power, its heart beating with flickering screens and vault-like chambers.This was Darcy’s endgame.Even dead, he ruled.Rita straightened despite her handcuffs—her lips curling.“You all thought Darcy ran a gang,” she said softly.“No. He built a marketplace. Information. Women. Power. And Lilian… is the most expensive asset yet.”Kelvin’s fists clenched.“You’re insane.”“No,” Rita whispered, “I’m inevitable.”*********Metal grates extended, forming a walkway above the black water, leading toward the glass cell where Lilian hung suspended in drugged stillness.Jack forced himself forward, bullet

    Silence.Not true silence—more like the ringing void that exists only after a world ends. When Lilian opened her eyes, all she saw was white at first, as if the universe had been erased and was still deciding whether to put her back.Then the white faded.Reality returned as smoke, debris, and blood.She was lying on the marble floor of the Newton Foundation lobby. But the lobby was no longer a lobby—it was a graveyard. Glass panels hung like torn wings, shattered furniture lay scattered, and a fire alarm shrieked through the haze like an animal in pain.Bodies moved. Some crawled. Some didn’t.Lilian tried to sit up but her head pounded like a war drum. She touched her temple and came away with red.Memory crashed back—the charity gala, Chris showing up unexpectedly, the confrontation, Rita’s cold smile,and her hand—pressing that small black detonator device.And everything went white.Lilian staggered to her knees.“Help…” she croaked—but her throat was raw, broken.A shape moved

    The week after William and the others left passed in a haze for Lilian. Her world felt unmoored, like a ship adrift without an anchor. Since her injury and the funeral, William had been her constant—her light in a life filled with shadows. Now, without his chatter and bright spirit, her home was a

    Chris stepped closer, his presence overwhelming, his gaze sharp and unwavering. His towering height created a shadow over Lilian, making her sense that the barriers separating them had diminished. The tension between them was intense, resembling a quiet storm ready to break. She wouldn't relent, ev

    Lilian remained in the stillness of the moment, her weight transferring from one foot to the other as Jack's intense blue gaze locked onto her. His stare appeared capable of uncovering her secrets, yet she fought the urge to recoil, turning her focus to a mark on her shoes. She sensed vulnerability

    William sat with his legs crossed, fixating on his sneakers while he vigorously twisted and untwisted the laces. "I still can't grasp why I have to go. Why am I unable to remain here with you?" His talk was filled with remorse, and the mood felt denser.Lilian repositioned the strap of her handbag,
