ELARA’S POV

“That just happened?” I asked, still in disbelief.

“Yes,” Robert said, a smug smile plastered on his face.

I exhaled, shaking my head as the excitement buzzed in my veins. I just met Hamilton. I just took a picture with Hamilton.

“You got your prize. Want a drink?” he shrugged.

“Sure.”

I expected a cocktail or something light, but instead, Robert got us these insane slushies that exploded with flavor on my taste buds with every sip.

“Oh my God,” I groaned, my eyes widening as the icy sweetness melted on my tongue. “What is this?”

He chuckled. “Tastes good, doesn’t it?”

“Good is an understatement,” I muttered, already taking another sip.

If we didn’t have to leave, I would have easily been on my fourth cup. But since we had to go, I decided to savour the one in my hand.

As we settled into the car, I turned to him. “Can I see the pictures?”

“Here.” He unlocked his phone and passed it to me.

I scrolled through the images, zooming in on each one. My heart did a l

  • The Billionaire’s Regret    204: FRIENDS

    NATE’S POV “That little bastard airing my business,” I muttered under my breath, glaring at Camille. “Oh, loudly,” she smirked. “But it’s not what you think, Natey. He’s just trying to affirm I’m not investing in a risky partner.” “Investing?” My brow rose. “The last time you and I did business, I was just a director.” “Oh, don’t play dumb with me, darling.” My jaw clenched. Darling? I didn’t even have to look to feel the switch in Elara’s energy. But I still looked. Yep. She heard that. Her lips parted slightly, whispering the word like it was poison. “Darling.” Shit. I needed to shut Camille down fast. There was nothing going on between us never was, never will be. She was a close business contact, yes. Someone I helped back when she was nearly killed by her own family. But this? This was a mess I didn’t plan for. “Jacob Hale already told me you’re a forty percent stakeholder in the new company,” Camille continued, smiling proudly. “So don’t even deny i

  • The Billionaire’s Regret    203: ARE YOU JEALOUS?

    NATES POV The minute I walked back into the room after my call, Elara was no longer on the bed. She was standing by the window, her back turned to me, legs bare beneath the oversized shirt she was wearing. My shirt. For a second, I forgot how to breathe. I never thought I’d see a day like this again her in OUR space, in my clothes. In my life. I wished I could freeze the moment. Pretend this was normal. Pretend it will stay like this forever. Then she turned, catching me off guard. Her brows lifted. “What are you doing?” I looked away too quickly, then forced myself to meet her gaze again. The morning light hit the hazel of her eyes, igniting flecks of gold that tightened something deep in my chest. I swallowed the lump rising in my throat. What was I supposed to say? That I was just staring, not checking her out? Yeah, keep telling yourself that, Nate. “Uh—” I cleared my throat. “Were you…” “Get dressed,” I cut in before I could fumble it worse. “I want to take you s

  • The Billionaire’s Regret    202: ONE TIME THING

    ELARA’S POVI woke up to warm breath brushing the edge of my cheek.Something or someone…. was too close.Way too close.I reacted on instinct, snapping upright with a gasp and shoving hard against the weight next to me. A body shifted under my hands, jolting with surprise, and then—“Ow shit, Elara!” a voice grunted. “It’s just me!”My eyes flew open.Nate.Not an intruder. Not a threat.Just Nate.Bare chested. Disheveled hair. Sleepy, heavy lidded eyes fixed on me. His lips were parted like he was mid-thought, and his face… way too close.He blinked, then grinned slowly, that familiar irritating smirk forming as he inched closer.“You were about to kiss me!” I accused, narrowing my eyes.He raised his hands in surrender. “I was trying to kiss your forehead, psycho,” he muttered, still grinning. “You looked peaceful. Beautiful. I couldn’t help it.”“Well, next time try helping it,” I hissed.But his eyes dropped slightly lower.I followed his gaze… and then froze.Oh.My arms flew t

  • The Billionaire’s Regret    201: JUST THIS ONCE!

    ELARA’S POV I tore away from the kiss, shoving him with every ounce of strength I had left. My heart was pounding, my lips still burning from the heat of him, from the frenzy he brought with just one touch. “What the hell is wrong with you?” I gasped, breathless, angry… no, shaken. “That guy drugged your drink, El,” he yelled, voice breaking like glass. “He slipped something into it when you weren’t looking.” My knees buckled. Just like that, the floor vanished from beneath me. “No,” I whispered. “He didn’t seem like someone who could… do that.” My voice sounded so small. Pathetic. Like I was trying to convince myself more than him. “That’s the damn thing, Elara,” he snapped, pacing in front of me, raking both hands through his hair like he was trying to claw the thoughts out of his own head. “These traffickers, these predators they don’t have a warning sign on their forehead. They don’t come with a flashing neon label that says ‘monster.’ They wear a smile. They make sm

  • The Billionaire’s Regret    200: YOU DON’T GET TO CAGE ME

    ELARA’S POV The car ride was dead silent. Not the kind of silence that was peaceful. Not even angry. It was suffocating. Drenched in something I couldn’t name like Nate was unraveling beside me but refusing to let it show. His hands were clenched around his phone so tightly that his knuckles had turned white. His jaw was locked, eyes dark and unreadable. Not even once did he glance my way. I almost asked what happened. I almost asked if he was okay. But I bit my tongue. Because something told me… I wouldn’t like the answer. When we pulled into the driveway and Dave killed the engine, Nate stepped out and slammed the door without a word. I opened mine before he could come around. His shoulders were heaving. He was spiraling. Whatever happened back in that room after I left… must’ve been bad. “Nate…” I called as we walked into the house, unable to hold back anymore. He turned to face me. “What’s going on?” He stared at me for a beat, jaw tight, eyes filled

  • The Billionaire’s Regret    199: BONUS TIP

    NATE’S POV The door slammed shut with Elara screaming at Dave. I knew she’d be pissed — but I couldn’t let her stay in this room any longer. Not with men like this. Not when she’s been attacked twice. Another swing came for me. I dodged. It was the same green-eyed bastard who started this mess — the one who thought he could speak to her like that. The one Elara humiliated before I could even react. When he lunged at her, he signed his damn sentence. I caught his arm mid-air and twisted it behind his back. My ears were burning red hot. Rage had already taken me. “You thought you could touch my woman and walk out of here breathing?” I growled, my fist colliding with his jaw. He stumbled, but I didn’t stop. Another punch. Then another. I felt something crack. Even as a gunshot rang out in the distance, I didn’t flinch. My vision was already dark. “Enough, man!” Angelo barked, trying to drag me off. I slammed my fist into the guy again. “Your buddies forget to teach you man
