Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 121: Unwanted Encounter
The afternoon sun hung gently over the school compound, casting long, soft shadows across the open field where parents and children gathered in clusters. Laughter floated in the air, mixed with the chatter of teachers trying to maintain some order as the event went on. Diana stood slightly to the side, her arms folded loosely, watching Emma run across the field with a group of other children. There was a calmness in her posture, the kind that came from being present in a moment without distraction, and for a while, she allowed herself to enjoy it.Emma turned mid-run and spotted her, waving both hands excitedly. “Mom!” she called out loudly, not caring who heard. Diana smiled, lifting her hand in response, her expression softening in a way that came naturally now. It still felt new hearing that word from Emma, but it no longer startled her. Instead, it settled somewhere deep, creating a quiet sense of belonging she hadn’t realized she missed.She shifted slightly, moving closer t
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 120: A Gentle Return
The house had begun to change in a way Diana could not ignore anymore, not in structure or design, but in feeling. It no longer felt like a place she had temporarily stepped into out of necessity; it felt lived in, warm, and slowly becoming hers. That evening, the three of them sat around the dining table, and for once, nothing weighed heavily in the air. Emma, as usual, refused to let the moment pass without turning it into something playful. She watched Diana and Merlin closely for a while, then suddenly burst into giggles, covering her mouth dramatically like she had just discovered something scandalous.“If you both keep smiling like this, I’ll start charging you for watching romance,” she said, her tone teasing and completely unserious.Diana blinked, then laughed, shaking her head as she reached for her glass. Merlin leaned back slightly, a faint smile forming on his lips as he looked at Emma like she had just said the most ridiculous thing he had heard all day. “Is that s
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 118: Truth Revealed
The truth behind the manipulation finally comes to light in a dramatic confrontation where all parties are present.The room chosen for the meeting was not large, yet it carried a weight that made the air feel thick and difficult to breathe. It as though every wall had been waiting to witness this exact moment. Diana stood slightly apart from everyone else. Merlin stood a few steps behind her, his presence steady but tense, like a man ready to step forward at any second if things spiraled out of control. Across from them, Henry stood composed as ever, his hands tucked neatly into his pockets, his expression unreadable, while Martins remained slightly behind him, silent, observant, saying nothing but missing nothing.Ashley was there too, standing with her son close to her side, her earlier confidence now replaced with something quieter, more cautious, like someone who had finally realized she had walked into something far bigger than she had initially understood. The little boy c
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 117: Collision Course
Diana found herself standing in the middle of her office that morning, staring at a stack of files that had suddenly become more than just work; they felt like anchors trying to pull her in different directions at once.The past few days had tested her patience, her emotions, and even her judgment.But somewhere within that chaos, something inside her had shifted.She picked up one of the files, flipping through it and as she walked out toward the main lab floor, her presence alone seemed to change the energy in the room. The team had been expecting tension, hesitation, maybe even another distracted version of her, but what they got instead was a composed, controlled Diana whose voice carried clarity and firmness when she finally spoke. “We’re behind on the timeline, and that ends today,” she said. “I want updated reports on every section within the next hour, and if anything is unclear, we fix it immediately, not later.”There was a brief silence before everyone moved at once, resp
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 116: The Encounter
The pressure finally reaches a breaking point when Diana confronts Henry directly, questioning his involvement. It wasn’t a decision she made suddenly. It had been building for days, quietly, steadily, like something tightening around her chest until there was no more room left to ignore it. Every message, every coincidence, every carefully timed disruption had begun to form a pattern too deliberate to dismiss, and at the center of that pattern, whether she liked it or not, Henry’s presence kept appearing.That evening, she didn’t go home immediately after leaving the lab. Instead, she drove without thinking too much about the route, her mind already set on one thing. She needed answers.She found him exactly where she expected.That same quiet spot overlooking the city, the one place that had once held meaning, then distance, and now something else entirely. The air was calm, the view unchanged, but the weight in her chest felt heavier than it ever had standing there.Henry stood
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 115: The Real Target
Investigations begin quietly, in small steps that fit naturally into their daily lives. So instead, she approached it the same way she handled complex work at the lab, by observing patterns, gathering pieces, and allowing the truth to reveal itself through consistency rather than force.That evening, the living room felt less tense than it had in days, though the unease had not disappeared completely. It had simply taken on a different form, one that sat quietly in the background while they focused on something else. Ashley sat across from Diana, her phone placed on the table between them, while Merlin stood by the side, his arms folded, watching everything with guarded attention.“Start from the first message,” Diana said, her tone calm but firm.Ashley nodded and picked up her phone, scrolling through her messages before handing it over. “This was the first one.”Diana took it, her eyes moving carefully across the screen. She read the next one.Then another.Each message built o
Regret Is Just The Beginning Chapter 39: What Children See
"Come on," Diana said softly, extending her hand toward Emma.Emma slipped her tiny fingers into Diana's palm without hesitation, her face glowing with pride. There was something so natural about it; the way the little girl reached without thinking, without any of the caution children sometimes ca

"We're not interested."Merlin's voice was firm. Final. Absolute.He stood up smoothly from his chair and began buttoning his coat with deliberate movements, his expression unreadable, his face a mask of professional composure.For a second, the words did not register in Henry's mind, bouncing off

“Let’s go to the conference room.”Merlin’s voice was flat. Controlled. Professional.He didn't wait for a response. He simply turned and began walking down the corridor, his polished shoes moving steadily against the glossy floor.Henry stood still for a brief second, feeling the weight in the air

Moments later, Diana shut down her computer and gathered a few documents neatly into a folder. The laboratory floor was spotless as usual, polished to a shine under the bright white lights overhead that hummed faintly. Researchers moved quietly in the background, their footsteps measured and deli
