SASHA’S POV

“Sasha?” Lia asked, stunned.

“Sasha?” Uncle Vincent stared at me, equally shocked.

I... I had no idea what I was doing here. Why was I—why was I standing in this room?

It wasn’t just Uncle Vincent and Lia in his office at Safari. Five other people were there—two men and three women. And every single one of them was staring at me like I’d grown another head.

“Someone late to the meeting, Vincent?” one of them asked.

“Huh?” Vincent, still rattled, glanced over.

Lia spoke up. “Sasha, what’s going on?”

My whole body felt like it was on fire. Sweat poured down my back.

God, I’m such an idiot. Why did I follow Lia here and land myself in this mortifying mess?

“Oh crap! Why am I here? Wrong room! Sorry, please carry on!” I stammered, panicking. I spun around to leave—only to slam right into Dave, who’d chased me in.

“Sorry, Vincent. Sasha barged in. I tried to stop her,” Dave explained nervously, clearly afraid he’d get chewed out.

My face burned. I squeezed my eyes shut, cursing

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   EXTRA 2: Three years later

    SASHA’S POVBig smiles spread across my face and my husband Vincent’s as we confirmed our marriage was official. “I wonder… can I still call you Uncle Vincent?” I whispered. “Seriously? Calling your husband ‘uncle’?” he teased. “It feels odd using Honey or Hubby.” “Whatever feels right in bed, baby,” Vincent said, his genuine smile making me blush. “You keep grinning!” I said. “Can’t help it. I’m thrilled to make us official. I can love you the right way now.”Vincent’s right. I felt relieved too—we’re finally married. We can give Noah a complete family. Officially, he’s Noah Gray now.I looked at Mom in the family section. My heart swelled seeing her cry happy tears, hugging Noah, and smiling at me. In his cute way, Noah wiped her tears. Mom kissed him warmly. What more could I want? It feels like everything’s come true. Well, except for Tara—everyone else blessed our wedding.After the ceremony, Lia came over and said, “Time to change dresses. The party’s about to start.” I

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   EXTRA 1: I Can’t Hold Back Much Longer

    SASHA’S POVBack from the beach, Vincent carried a tuckered-out Noah into my apartment. As usual, whenever I have free time, I spend it with Noah and Vincent—like today.Since Mom took Leo, the three of us have had way more time for quality moments. Even though Vincent and I aren’t married yet, it already feels like we’re a complete family when we’re together.“Dad, sleep with me tonight, okay?” Noah whined, his voice sleepy and raspy. He tugged my arm so I wouldn’t walk away, making sure I heard him. “Can I, Mom? Can I sleep with Dad?”“You want to sleep with me? Let’s go to my place then,” Vincent said, pulling out his keycard, ready to head to his own apartment.“No, I want to sleep with Dad and Mom. My friends sleep with their parents. Why don’t we ever do that?” Noah kept whining.I exchanged a look with Vincent. It was tough to say no to Noah. But sharing a bed with Vincent? That felt like crossing a line I drew myself. Even with Noah between us, would that really stop us from g

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   57. Her Answer

    SASHA’S POVIt felt like déjà vu. A few months ago, someone proposed to me too. But this time, everything felt different. Kneeling before me was the man I loved with all my heart… and maybe still did.I looked at Noah, his eyes full of hope. Was there really a reason to say no to Vincent? We already had Noah—a kid who longed for a complete family. But… was my heart fully healed?“Vincent, I…” I began.“Mom,” Noah cut in, snapping me out of my doubts.I glanced at Vincent again. God, how was I supposed to decide with all these people watching? Flustered, I leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Why would you propose in front of everyone?”“Come on, it’s romantic, Sasha! I thought you'd love it,” Vincent whispered back. “Lia planned this for months. She said this kind of proposal would melt you.”“Seriously? Sure, it’s romantic, but do you think I’m not embarrassed right now?” I hissed, my cheeks burning.“Sasha, I’m not doing this to pressure you. I just want your honest answer,” Vincent

    SASHA’S POV“I passed!”After months of grinding—juggling study sessions with Vincent, a few assistants, and Randy’s patient tutoring—I did it. I aced the exam. I’ve officially been accepted into the accelerated medical program at Ellwood University.I’ll start with a biology major as a pre-med, and as long as I maintain strong academic and behavioral standing, I’ll transition straight into medical school—no need to reapply or take the MCAT. The entire program takes six to eight years, usually seven. Not bad.Walking home, I felt like I was floating. Tonight, I wanted to throw a little party—just something small with the people who mattered most to me.I tried calling Lia, but as usual, no reply. Then I reached out to Farah and Sam, but they already had plans.I thought about calling Mom. Was she still mad at me? Maybe. Maybe not. Still, it couldn’t hurt to tell her the news.“Hello?” she answered. “If you’re calling to apologize—”“I got into an accelerated med school program at Ell

    SASHA’S POVTwo months have passed—peaceful, but exhausting. Aside from the gifts I sent Lia (which she keeps sending back), everything’s been smooth. Well, not exactly smooth. Lia’s making me feel what Vincent must’ve felt when I rejected his apologies. All I can do now is pray she’ll forgive me someday.Physically and mentally, I’m wiped out. Vincent helps a lot at night, but ever since I decided to go back to school and prep for the medical school entrance exam at Ellwood University, I’ve been studying every single day. Who wouldn’t be fried from all those crazy formulas and memorization?Balancing tutoring with Leo and my café job is tough. I wanted to study a lot with a private tutor, but they’re way too pricey. So, I’m mostly stuck with practice books, online lessons, and occasionally dragging a tutor to the café to ask questions.I haven’t told Vincent. It’s hard to admit I’m taking his advice—he’d get a big head. His annoying antics—like sneaking kisses and blaming Noah for th

    SASHA’S POV“Can I go see Dad?” Noah asked. I knew he wasn’t really asking — he’d guilt-trip me if I said no, whining that I’d kept the secret for too long.“No more than an hour,” I said, defeated. “Vincent has work.”Ever since Vincent got out of the hospital, Noah’s been sleeping over and playing at his dad’s apartment almost every day. I’m starting to feel ditched.But instead of getting jealous, I’m trying to think and act positive. I have more time to take care of Leo now. Plus, I’ve got extra time to research the medical program at Ellwood University — the one Vincent suggested. I’m seriously considering it again.Honestly, that annoying doctor who treated Vincent got on my nerves. But he reminded me of my childhood dream of becoming a doctor — a dream I buried because I felt like a failure for not studying hard enough. A dream Dad told me I should chase.Having Noah in my life made me feel like I was drowning, like I lost myself. I wasn’t Sasha anymore, just Noah’s mom. Then L
