Selene's pov***

That woman had struck a nerve. Every word she spoke, every look she gave Zara, burned like acid in my chest.

Eavesdropping wasn’t something I was proud of, but what choice did I have? It gave me a glimpse into what Zara had endured all these years, endured from the very woman who was supposed to be her knight in shining armor.

Zara, the same girl who once taught me how to be strong, who stood by me when we were younger, who defended me when I didn’t have the strength to defend myself.

Now, she was trapped under the weight of that woman’s influence. It broke something inside me to see her like this, silent, exhausted, carrying a burden no one should have to carry.

I knew then, more than ever, that I had to help her. Fate had brought us back together, and I wasn’t about to let it pull us apart. She didn’t just need a friend; she needed a sister.

And I was going to be that for her. No matter what it cost.

The next morning, after making breakfast, I realized Zara still hadn

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET   Hidden Room...

    Zara’s POV***When we arrived at Roman’s apartment, a cold chill ran down my spine. I had completely forgotten about Lucien and how he might react to everything that had happened.Would he see me as the reason for the rift between father and son? The thought alone made my stomach twist. I didn’t want Roman and his father to be at loggerheads because of me.Roman carried Aria gently in his arms while I held Leo’s small hand. Somehow, Selene had managed to arrive before us and was already setting up the rooms like she owned the place.The Vale mansion, it still felt surreal saying it. I was moving into the Vale mansion, of all places, not as an employee, not as a stranger, but as the mother of Roman Vale’s children.Who would have ever thought fate would twist this way after everything that had happened?Thanks to Levi, everything had spun wildly out of control, yet somehow landed better than before, or at least, better for now.Roman’s private apartment within the mansion had six rooms

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET   When Shadows Converge...

    Zara’s POV***While Selene and I were still debating our next step, Levi’s call came in. I ignored it at first, my mind already too cluttered to deal with his usual manipulative tone.But Selene, ever the voice of reason, though sometimes more of a stubborn push. insisted that I pick up.“Answer him, Zara,” she urged, her eyes narrowing. “You can’t keep avoiding it forever.”I sighed, pressing my phone against my ear as I called him back. The line clicked, and for a brief second, I imagined what he might say, another twisted justification, another lie coated in charm.But instead of giving him the power to steer the conversation, I spoke first. I told him exactly what I thought, of his failed schemes, his selfish obsessions, and the way he underestimated everyone around him.When I finally hung up, a wave of relief washed through me. For the first time in weeks, I felt lighter.“That’s my girl,” Selene said, grinning ear to ear. Her pride was almost contagious.“Selene, what now?” I as

    Zara” pov***Roman’s phone buzzed again across the small table. Lucien’s name flashed; Roman glanced at it and set the phone facedown without answering.The gesture was small, but when he looked at me afterward and refused the call, something in my stomach tightened.“You should talk to him,” I said, trying to keep my voice level. Levi exposing me in front of the boardroom was more than a scandal, it was a wildfire that could spread and burn everything the Vale family had built.Worse, the compilation had pictures from my pregnancy scattered through it.If those images leaked beyond the meeting, people would turn a story about business into one about revenge and humiliation.They would call me the woman who came to take and to spoil.“He can wait, Zee,” Roman said. The way he said my name, slow, careful, as if the syllables themselves might break me or hold me together, sent chills through me.I couldn’t tell if the feeling was comfort or fear.“You both need to go somewhere private t

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET   Fractures and Truths

    Roman’s POVThe shrill wail of an ambulance siren dragged me out of darkness. My head throbbed with a deep, pulsing ache that seemed to echo the sound itself.I blinked hard, trying to make sense of where I was.Everything around me felt blurred, the flashing red lights, the low murmur of voices, the metallic scent of antiseptic air. My chest burned each time I tried to take in a full breath.One face finally cut through the haze, Selene’s. Her features were tight with worry, her hand resting on my arm.“Roman, can you hear me?” she asked.I nodded, though the motion made my head spin. My throat was dry, my voice barely a rasp.“What’s happening?”Her eyes flickered briefly toward the paramedics before settling back on me. “We’re going to the hospital. You collapsed during the meeting.”The meeting.The word struck something in me. The boardroom, the presentation, the sudden tightness in my chest, and then nothing.My mind spun backward, trying to grasp the moment before everything we

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET   Countdown to Chaos...

    Unknown’s POV***“Why did Levi attack Roman at the office?” the veiled woman asked, her voice calm yet piercing.Word had already spread through every corner of the company about the altercation between Roman and his former best friend.Everyone had an opinion, and everyone seemed to have witnessed it, even though only two people had actually been in that room.“I think he’s back to take revenge. At least that’s what everyone’s saying,” I replied. Our conversations had become freer lately, not as stiff as they were in the beginning.She still carried that strange aura, that blend of authority and distance that made it hard to meet her eyes for long, but the tension between us had begun to ease.“What do you think Levi will do?” she asked next, as though I were one of those masterminds who could predict every move before it happened.I had no real answer. She could easily send her men to capture him, interrogate him like in one of those movies where justice is dealt in the shadows.But

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET   The Reckoning...

    Zara’s POV***Finally, Aria was settled into the private room where I stayed. The relief was small and immediate, the kind that loosens the shoulders and lets you breathe just a little deeper. Selene stayed by my side for hours, folding and refolding the same blanket, her presence steady like a corner anchor until Roman and Leo came back carrying a woven basket of food.I had been taken off the IV, the plastic taste leaving my mouth, and everything in me wanted a proper, hot meal.“Thank you,” we both said, my voice thin with hunger and gratitude as we sampled spoonfuls from the container.Food tasted like more than food tonight; it tasted like a small reclamation of routine.“Mama, Uncle Roman’s house is so cool,” Leo announced, eyes bright as he bounced in place.He had that look children get when they feel like they’ve discovered a secret and finally get to tell someone.I glanced at Roman and met his gaze. For a moment he looked unsure, like he wasn’t sure how to be praised or how
