The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go Chapter 41: The Family He Never Had
Alexander had faced down boardrooms full of men who wanted him ruined. He had negotiated deals worth more than some countries’ GDP without breaking a sweat.None of it prepared him for a five-year-old’s shoelaces.“You’re doing it wrong.” Ethan crouched on the hallway floor, watching with the particular judgment only small children could muster. “Mommy does the bunny ears.”“The bunny ears.” Alexander turned the lace over in his hands like a foreign object that should have come with a manual. “Right. Show me.”Ethan sighed—an exaggerated, put-upon sound he had clearly learned from someone—and knelt to do it himself, his small fingers quick and sure where Alexander’s had fumbled.“See? Easy.”“Easy,” Alexander repeated, and something in his chest twisted, sharp and unexpected.Because it hadn’t been easy.Too many mornings like this had passed without him while he was in some glass tower three time zones away, signing documents that felt urgent then and now felt like nothing at all.Fr
The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go Chapter 40: The First Step Back
Relief hit like a tidal wave.For one suspended second, nobody in the room moved. Nobody breathed. Nobody spoke. Then Sophia broke the paralysis, crossing the floor in a frantic blur.“Where is he?” Her voice cracked on the words.Alexander lowered the phone from his ear, his hand unsteady for the first time all night. The investigator was still talking on the other end, but Alexander barely heard him. Only one thing mattered.Ethan was alive.“He’s okay,” he said, looking directly into Sophia’s frantic eyes.The tears she had been holding back for hours finally spilled over. “Where is he, Alexander?”“He was found at a bus terminal on the north side of the city.” Alexander swallowed hard, matching her intense gaze. “He’s scared, but he’s safe.”The room instantly exploded into motion. Questions fired from every direction, police officers reached for their radios, and investigators gathered details. Daniel closed his eyes briefly, a wave of profound relief washing across his features.

The world seemed to stop.Alexander stood frozen in the middle of his penthouse, the phone pressed tightly against his ear.“What do you mean he’s missing?”His voice came out harsher than he intended.On the other end, the school administrator sounded thoroughly shaken.“Ethan never arrived home. We believed he left campus with his usual transportation arrangement, but there appears to have been a misunderstanding. We contacted Mrs. Morgan when he failed to check in.”Alexander’s blood ran cold.“When was the last time anyone saw him?”A pause.“Approximately two hours ago.”Two hours.His grip tightened around the device. Every protective instinct inside him screamed that something was wrong.“I’ll be there in ten minutes.”He ended the call before the administrator could respond and immediately dialed Sophia.She answered on the first ring.“Alexander?”The sheer panic in her voice hit him like a punch to the chest, and his stomach dropped.She already knew.“Sophia—”“Have you fou

The note was simple—painfully so.Sophia had read it three times before finally setting it down on the smooth mahogany of her desk.> I know I don't deserve your forgiveness.I know I haven't earned the right to ask for it.But I'm sorry. More than words can explain.—AlexanderThat was all.There were no grand declarations, no sweeping promises, and no frantic attempts to justify the past. Just a raw apology.And somehow, that restraint made it harder to bear because she believed every word.Not once during the chaotic aftermath of the press conference had she doubted Alexander's sincerity. His guilt was a physical presence in the room; she had heard it crack his voice and seen it shadow his dark eyes. He weighed every step he took around her with agonizing care.But contrition didn't rewrite history.Five years of isolation didn't dissolve just because he finally understood the truth.The white lilies remained on her desk long after the rest of the staff had gone home—a quiet, fragr
The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go Chapter 37: The Public Apology
The fallout was immediate.Within twenty-four hours of Victoria Sterling’s removal, speculation exploded across every major business publication, financial network, and social media platform. Questions spread faster than facts. Why had one of Knight Financial’s most trusted executives been escorted out by security? Why were internal investigations suddenly underway? What exactly had happened between Victoria Sterling, Sophia Morgan, and Alexander Knight?The headlines grew harsher with every passing hour. Some blamed Victoria, some blamed Alexander, and some blamed Sophia. Most blamed all three. By the third day, reporters had built a permanent camp outside both corporate headquarters.Alexander watched the coverage from his office, his jaw tight. Sophia’s name appeared in nearly every article—again, just like five years ago. Only this time, he knew exactly how undeserved it was.The weight of that realization sat heavily on his chest. For years, he had allowed the public to believe t
The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go Chapter 36: The Weight of Regret
Alexander had spent years believing he understood regret.He had regretted the breakup, the blinding anger, and the bitter resentment that had poisoned his life afterward. But none of those feelings came close to the crushing weight he felt now.Regret was a different beast when you finally looked at the truth.The truth didn’t just hurt; it rewrote his entire history.Victoria’s confession should have brought some twisted form of relief. It should have given him a target for his fury—someone else to carry the blame.Instead, it left him staring directly into his own flaws.Victoria had manipulated events, hidden information, and engineered circumstances, but she hadn’t made his choices for him.She hadn’t forced him to turn away from Sophia.She hadn’t forced him to ignore the desperate tears in her eyes or stop listening to her defense.Those decisions had been his alone, and that realization was far harder to live with than a betrayal.◆ ◆ ◆Sleep was impossible.Long after midnigh
