The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go CHAPTER 54: Adrian Blackwell's Game
Adrian found Sophia outside Ethan's preschool, of all places. He leaned against an expensive car parked half a block down, like he'd been waiting there long enough to grow comfortable with it."You shouldn't be here," she said, stopping short. Every instinct in her body went taut and wary at the sight of him."I had a feeling you'd say that." Adrian's smile was easy, unbothered. The same smile that had unsettled her from the very first hallway. "I heard about the breach. Terrible business. I wanted to offer my condolences, professionally speaking.""You wanted to gloat." Sophia crossed her arms, refusing to let him see how unsteady his sudden appearance had made her. "Or you wanted to see how badly it's hurting him. Either way, I don't have time for it.""Sophia." He said her name with a patience that felt, somehow, more threatening than anger would have. "I've never once lied to you. Not when I helped with the apartment. Not when I told you what kind of man Alexander used to be. I'd
The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go CHAPTER 53: Partners
The badge belonged to a junior associate named Wren Castellano. Three years at the company. Access level far below what the leaked documents should have allowed. Which meant either she had help, or someone had used her credentials without her knowing."She's being questioned now," David said, sliding into the seat across from Alexander's desk the next morning. "But her lawyer's already pushing back hard. Honestly, Alexander, something about this doesn't sit right. A three-year associate doesn't have the contacts to place documents with three outlets at once. Someone fed her the access, or used her badge while she wasn't looking.""Then we're not done," Alexander said. He glanced at Sophia, seated at the end of the table with a legal pad covered in her own careful shorthand. No one had formally decided to include her in this meeting. She'd simply stayed, and no one had asked her to leave.A board member two seats down cleared his throat with obvious disapproval. His name was Halbrook,
The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go CHAPTER 52: The Attack on knight Holdings
By six the next morning, Alexander's phone hadn't stopped buzzing since David's call. Knight Holdings' stock had dropped further than he'd ever watched it fall in a single overnight session.He stood in his office in yesterday's shirt. The city skyline outside the window was grey and unbothered. He scrolled through headlines that hadn't existed twelve hours earlier. Cole Holdings Faces Scrutiny Over Leaked Internal Documents. Major Shareholders Demand Answers After Data Breach. Someone had handed financial projections, supplier contracts, and two unsigned acquisition deals to at least three different outlets. All at once. Timed for maximum damage."Talk to me," he said, the moment David walked through the door. David looked like he hadn't slept either."It's bad. But it's not fatal. Yet." David dropped a folder on the desk. His hands weren't quite steady. "Whoever did this had real access. Not outsider hacking. Insider knowledge. Files that don't exist anywhere outside our internal se
The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go CHAPTER 51: The Judge's Decision
Sophia couldn't feel her own hands.She sat rigid at the long table, Marcus on one side, Alexander on the other, and stared at Judge Whitfield's face. She tried to read the verdict before it came. Five years of surviving alone had taught her to brace for the worst. She braced now. Every muscle in her body felt coiled tight enough to snap.The courtroom was too quiet. Somewhere behind her, a chair creaked. Somewhere else, a phone buzzed once and went silent. None of it mattered. Only the judge's face mattered."I've made my decision regarding custody of Ethan Marquez knight," Judge Whitfield said. She let the silence stretch a beat longer, like she understood exactly what that pause cost the two people in front of her.Sophia's hand found Alexander's under the table. He gripped back instantly. No hesitation. His thumb pressed once against her knuckles, steady, the way it had been steady through every page of evidence, every hour of this endless day."This court finds insufficient evide
The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go Chapter 50: The Family Trial
The call had gone to voicemail. Alexander listened to it once, alone, before mentioning it to Sophia—Adrian's voice, clipped for once, stripped of its unbothered charm. I assume you've made your decision. I hope you understand what you're choosing against. No threat was spelled out, no promise kept. Just a door closing on the other side. Somehow, that quiet was worse than a shout. He deleted it twice in his mind before actually doing it; holding onto Adrian's voice felt like letting the man back in.Alexander told Sophia only the part that mattered. "He knows," he said. "Whatever he tries next won't be subtle.""Let him try," Sophia said, her voice entirely steady. She stood close enough that he could feel her warmth, and something in him settled—the particular security of having someone stand at his side instead of behind him.---Judge Eleanor Whitfield's courtroom was smaller than Alexander expected, all blond wood and fluorescent light, entirely unlike the heavy marble spaces he u
The Billionaire Who Regretted Letting Me Go Chapter 49: The Choice Between Two Men
Sophia didn't answer Adrian right away. She sat with the phone pressed to her ear, his offer hanging in the living room like smoke. Alexander’s hand tightened around hers—silent, steady, braced for whatever she might say next."I need to think," she told Adrian, and hung up before he could fill the silence.The apartment felt abruptly hollow. Alexander watched her lower the phone onto the coffee table. She was moving with extreme caution, as if one wrong gesture might undo the fragile composure keeping her upright."You're not actually considering it," he said. He hated how much it sounded like a question when he wanted it to be a certainty."I'm considering everything, Alexander. That's what being responsible for a child means." Sophia pressed her palms against her eyes, exhaustion bleeding into her posture. "He's offering an end to this. No hearing, no investigators, no Halloway, no more sleepless nights wondering if a judge will decide I'm unfit. You don't know what it's like to ca
