Evelyn's POV

"Well, you seem to be in a bit higher spirits this morning." Mila smiled as she sat my coffee and cream cheese bagel on my table. "How did things go with Adrian?"

I took a tentative sip of my coffee and returned her smile; albeit not as wide as hers. "Not bad, actually. He reassured me that the child wasn't his, because Bianca came back pregnant from her trip overseas."

"And you believe him?"

I hesitated, but only for a fraction of a second. "I do. I just don't want our marriage to

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 129 — Meeting Up Again

    Evelyn's POV"You're not actually serious about meeting up with her, are you?" Nathan looked at me with wary eyes. "I'm usually not the one to dictate what you do, but I'm not sure about this."At this point, everyone in the meeting room had left. It was us and a somewhat tense atmosphere with the situation at hand not lost on either of us. I pursed my lips into a thin line as I met Nathan's concerned expression. "I mean, I'm not just going to ghost her when she's already here.""Look, I know you two had a good relationship as not many people can say that about their former in-laws. I'm just concerned about her running back to Adrian to tell him everything."I sighed. "I get it, but she's not like that. She was never the one to meddle, even when things were going south for us.""How can you be so sure things haven't changed? What if she's now the very thing you said wouldn't be?""You're right, I can't be sure," I answered. "But regardless, I don't want to let my past dictate what I d

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 128 — A Meeting Interrutped

    Evelyn’s POV"Have a good day at school, honey," I said as I squeezed him tight. "Do good on your studies, and make tons of friends, okay?""I will! Love you, mommy!" He didn't even give me a chance to respond as he ran right into the classroom with a huge grin on his face.I couldn't help but chuckle. It was entertaining to see him so happy to go to school, since most kids weren't always thrilled to do so. Hopefully, he wouldn't grow out of it as he got older.After all, we had thirteen more years of it to go, so long as he did well.I carried his infectiously happy and confident attitude with me as I went to work. Now that the La Bellezza headquarters was up and running and we had our team assembled, it was time to hold our first meeting as an established company.I walked through the chic office space, feeling in awe of all the tangible things that came into fruition through my efforts. Of course, I wouldn't have gotten here without the guidance of so many people.Especially Nathan.

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 127 — Finding My Way Back To You

    Adrian's POVI couldn't forget about Evelyn no matter how hard I tried. She was forever a part of me, even if not a part of my life.But that was going to change. I was going to be sure of it.When I saw her the other night, it was like my world changed for the better. Colors came back into my vision after having been accustomed to grey for so long.Had she always looked so radiant? The large chandelier that hung overhead paled in comparison to her.The way her hair framed her face that held those luscious lips, and how that dress hugged her body…There really was no way I could get her out of my head. Even when I closed my eyes, she was all I could see.The thought of her alone made my heart beat faster and my cock stiffen slightly. I bit the inside of my cheek and stifled a groan at just how she didn't even need to acknowledge me to undo me.Evelyn was going to be my downfall, but I didn't care.A part of me had hoped that all this time away would've maybe cleared my head… Maybe made

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 126 — In Comforting Arms

    Evelyn's POVMy body tensed at the immediate mention of Adrian's name. That had to have meant he saw me, right? Was he the one that I felt staring at me the entire time?I continued to eavesdrop on the women before me. The tall, ornate walls now felt like nothing more than an opulent prison, and I needed information on what he was doing here alone."Oh, you mean that tall glass of water," the other woman purred. "What about him?""Someone told me that he came alone tonight!" Her friend said with glee. "I thought he had a wife?"Her friend gasped. "Do you think that means he's on the market? Maybe they didn't work out?""Of course you would hope for that!""Look at the very least, maybe he's looking for a sugar baby! It seems like most CEOs want to be a sugar daddy despite having a wife.""Speaking from experience, clearly," the woman teased."Oh, you know it!"I'd tuned out the rest of the conversation after having heard enough of their fawning. It was bad enough that he had practicall

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 125 — Who's Watching Me? Evelyn's POV

    Before I knew it, the crowd had tripled in size. I almost didn't believe that the venue was large enough to accommodate the sheer number of people before me.But my nerves settled after some time, and I fell into another rhythm of introducing myself, answering questions, and talking about the business.Everyone was truly wonderful, however. Out of the crowd, the photographer, Leslie Merritt, was the one who stuck it out with me the entire time.Mostly because our line of work made it easier for us to synergize."You know, if you're not averse to taking any more chances, I have a few friends that are looking to get into modeling," Leslie mused. "I can send you their portfolios, and maybe we can look into them modeling your work?""I actually like taking chances," I said with a smile. "You have my business card, so whenever you get the time, I'd love to see their work, and we can arrange some shots to be done to post on the company website.""It means a lot that you're considering it, h

  • The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost   Chapter 124 — Unexpected Business

    Adrian's POVGod, these events were boring.If it wasn't for the fact that my shareholders were still eager for me to attend these business networking events, I would've made myself a shut-in years ago.I was a billionaire, for fuck's sake. How much more networking did I truly need to do?I nodded mindlessly as the other CEOs chattered about. Many of them were smaller and having just entered the industry fairly recently.They all had approached me specifically with the intent of earning my favor. Even if they hadn't outright stated it, it wasn't rocket science to figure out what it was they wanted.Favor, business ideas and tactics, maybe a loan...Over these last few years, I hadn't been nearly as giving, but many thought it was simply because I hadn't found anyone worthy to back.They were partially right...My compassion and selflessness were lost the moment I lost Evelyn.But I couldn't think about that right now. Not when I had to look engaged and cordial.So, I nodded, parted wor
