Aria's POV

My palms were slick with cold sweat, fingers trembling against the tray I still held with a death grip. I kept my head low, trying to breathe through the rising panic in my chest.

Then—

Crash.

With a single violent kick, the coffee table overturned. Glass shattered across the floor. Red wine splashed in every direction, seeping into the carpet like fresh blood.

Gasps and shrieks erupted. The women nearby scrambled to avoid the mess, dabbing frantically at the spilled alcohol with napkins, their movements frantic and clumsy.

I stood frozen, my heart pounding in my throat. Still, I forced myself to keep calm. First lesson of working here: No matter what happens—shouting, fighting, even someone pulling a gun—you stay composed. Pretend you didn't see a thing.

"I'll excuse myself if I'm no longer needed," I said, teeth clenched, voice tight but composed.

But before I could move, Kane was on his feet.

In two strides, he was across the room, stepping over broken glass like it didn

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   He Still Hasn't Given Up?

    Aria's POVWhen I opened my eyes, the pain in my lower abdomen had eased a little.That's when I realized Kane's hand was still resting there. The moment he pulled away, I let out a soft whimper and instinctively wrapped my arms around his waist like a child clinging to warmth.Surprisingly, he didn't push me away.Just like that, I drifted back to sleep.The next time I woke up, the room was filled with the delicious aroma of food.I wandered out of the bedroom to find Kane already at the table, cutting into a thick, juicy steak with effortless elegance.The soft clink of silverware filled the space, and just looking at the meal made my stomach grumble shamelessly."Is there some for me...?" I padded over barefoot, eyes fixed longingly on his plate.Without looking up, he slid the perfectly cut slices onto the empty plate in front of me. "Go wash up."When I came back, he handed me a glass of warm milk.I sipped it slowly, sneaking glances at his profile. There was something softer a

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Vacation

    Aria's POVThe next morning, I left the house with Kane, settling into the leather passenger seat of his sleek black Porsche 911.The early sunlight poured in through the windshield, warm and golden, brushing over his sharp profile and my uplifted mood.When we weren't fighting, we really did feel like a normal couple in love.But even as I found myself falling for him more each day, a quiet insecurity lingered in the pit of my stomach.I was scared of his sudden mood swings, scared he might vanish without warning.Scared that this fragile peace we had built was just a dream—beautiful, but bound to fade.Just as we drove out of the villa complex, I spotted Eden's convertible parked by the gate. He blew us a cheeky whistle, his usual grin in place, and in the passenger seat sat a curvy woman with sharp cheekbones and long legs.Of course. Eden was never alone for long. Women flocked to him, and he never turned them away.We raced down the highway, engines roaring as the two cars took

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   The Apology Gift

    Aria's POVAfternoon tea with Caleb ended earlier than expected. When I got home, I did something completely irrational—I sent the chef home early and decided to cook dinner myself.For Kane.Braised beef in red wine. Pan-seared sea bass. And a lemon tart—something he'd casually mentioned craving just a few days ago.I was losing my mind.I curled up on the sofa, absentmindedly twirling the tassel of a throw pillow between my fingers.The antique clock on the wall ticked steadily.7:40 p.m.—he should've been home by now.Should I call?My finger hovered over his name in my contacts, then pulled back.Just then, the electronic lock at the front door chimed, followed by the sound of voices—his voice, and someone else's, unfamiliar and laughing.I shot to my feet like a spring released, bolting barefoot toward the door.The cold wood floor stung against my soles, but I barely noticed."Kane, I need to talk to you about that contract—"The moment the door opened, time froze.Kane stood th

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Afternoon Tea

    Aria's POVMy fingertips drifted across the contract's surface, barely registering the words printed on it."This contract states," Kane said, his voice low and icy, "if you ever betray me, you'll repay every cent I've spent on you."His eyes locked onto mine, sharp and unrelenting. "Do you dare sign it?"That's it?I almost laughed.All he wanted was a promise. A guarantee that I would never betray him. And right now, that felt easy—because I loved him.I truly, wholeheartedly wanted to stay by his side… even if it was only for three years.The thought made my chest tighten, a strange warmth blooming beneath my ribs.My hand didn't even hesitate. I leaned over, picked up the pen, and signed my name with steady resolve.He didn't expect me to agree so easily. His brows twitched slightly, and he stared at me with an unreadable expression.I set the pen down and met his gaze, my voice quiet but unwavering. "You have to help Chad."At the sound of that name, his jaw tensed—just barely—bu

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   The New Contract

    Aria's POVMy pupils contracted sharply as I stared at him in disbelief. Chad's gentle voice was still coming through the phone, "Aria, I'm glad you care about me. I promise—I'll protect you…"Kane's gaze turned razor-sharp, and in that moment, I felt like the blood in my veins froze solid.Before I could even react, he shoved me hard against the balcony railing.My back hit the cold metal, sending a jolt of pain through my spine. I gasped."Kane! You've got it wrong! It's not what you think—"I struggled in panic, my fingers clawing helplessly at the railing.From the other end of the phone, Chad's voice rose in alarm. "Aria? What's happening?! Kane! Let her go!"Kane let out a cold, derisive laugh. He raised the phone to his ear, his voice like shards of ice, "She's mine. It's not your place to protect her."Then he hung up without hesitation, cutting off Chad's furious shouting mid-sentence.CR

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   He's Dead

    Aria's POVHis kiss crashed down on me—possessive and forceful, leaving no room for resistance. My head tilted back involuntarily, forced to accept the heat of him.Breath by breath, the air was stolen from my lungs, my chest rising and falling rapidly as I whimpered, "There's… nothing between me and him…"My voice came out soft and sticky, soaked in vulnerability. Even I was startled by how breathless and sweet I sounded.That only seemed to push him over the edge.His breathing grew ragged, his movements more urgent, more desperate. Like a man who'd been starved for too long, he gave me no space to resist.Pain mingled with pleasure, crashing over me in waves.I bit down on his shoulder, but he didn't seem to feel it—instead, he let out a low chuckle, pressing a kiss to the corner of my eye where tears had begun to well."Why are you crying?"he murmured, his voice a hoarse whisper. "Weren't you
