Author: Glittering gold

Last Updated: 2025-05-25 18:59:03

ELARA’S POV

A woman lunges at me one of the half-naked ones, eyes wild, probably high. I duck, barely missing her nails.

She comes again.

I elbow her off, and fuck! the satisfaction that rushes through me is almost disturbing.

Another one tries to grab my hair, but Nate’s already there, yanking her back by the wrist.

My heart is pounding like it’s going to explode out of my chest. My eyes fall on a pair of green ones discreetly trying to slip into another room and an idea lights up in my head.

With slightly shaky hands, I grab the nearest object to use as a weapon.

The whole room looks like a mess Angelo, Nate, and Dave are all tackling people.

And it’s all green eyes’ fault! I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but I have the urge to knock some sense into him.

If only he took what I said like a man the way I had to but no! Men like him with mommy issues never listen. They can’t function without being babied. As much as I want to feel bad for being a catalyst to the

The Billionaire’s Regret 318: TRAPPING THE TRAPPER.
NATE’S POV The road blurs under the headlights, but my mind is sharper than it’s been in months—too sharp, too awake, every nerve pulled tight like wire. Elara’s voice keeps cutting through me like broken glass. “You’re choosing death over us.” “You promised me.” “I don’t want to give birth alone again.” I slam my palm against the steering wheel, rage and guilt twisting together. I promised her. I fucking promised her I wouldn’t lose my head when this moment came. And I meant it. But the second I heard Marcus’s voice—or what sounded like it—everything inside me split. Some men can lose a sibling and still breathe. I’m not one of them. As irritating as Marcus can be when it comes to his life decisions. my brother has spent his whole damn life trying to protecting me in his own way. Heck I’m alive thanks to him. Years ago if he didn’t show up at the mines- No. Not now. If I let that memory surface, it’ll tear me apart before Nicolas even gets the chance.
The Billionaire’s Regret 317: I’VE BEEN TO HIS HELL.
ELARA’S POV Today’s session felt just like the last. Dr. Harrison said the heaviness in my chest is just my mind bracing for something bad. She still thinks I need to let go. But my gut has never lied to me. Every quiet minute. Every time Nate steps out of my sight. No matter how busy I keep myself, the dread stays. And if there’s anything life has taught me… when a fear refuses to leave, you listen to it. I just don’t know what to do to stop it. Is Nicolas getting closer? Or is Nate walking into something he shouldn’t? No. He promised me. I trust him. I have to. If I let my anxiety run wild, I’ll break myself before anything even happens. So I force my eyes shut and press closer to him. The past few weeks have been calm. No incidents. The baby is okay. I need peace more than anything. Warmth pulls me down into sleep— —until a soft buzz drags me back. Nate’s phone. His body tenses hard the moment he answers. “Hello?” A beat. Then his entire posture snaps like a wir
The Billionaire’s Regret 316: THE PROMISE
316: ELARA’S POV “Hi,” I whisper. The word tastes scared. He doesn’t smile. Not even the fake one he gives strangers. He sinks down beside me, shoulders stiff, hands balled. The scent of sweat and metal hiding under too much cologne clings to him. “What’s that?” he asks rough hands press to my lower back. My eyes narrow at his tired ones. Begging for me to pretend and not pry. He wants the distraction But why? What happened. I had a ton of questions. But my just had to remind me why all this is happening. So I force a smile. “Just a project I never got to finish.” “Tell me more!” I talk too fast explaining just the little things . “A shelter idea. It’s old and probably stupid of me to—“ “It’s not stupid.” He interrupts quietly. “You should do it, El. Everything about it is… you.” My heart tries to believe him. “You really think so?” “One hundred percent. I’ll be your first donor.” His fingers brush mine, warm but trembling. “Non-profit or not, I’ll back you.
The Billionaire’s Regret 315: DON’T LET IT SHOW
ELARA’S POV That feeling again. The one that presses into the ribs. A warning. A sting. Like my body knows something I don’t. It sits in my chest as I stare at my phone, waiting for a message from Nate. Nothing. Just silence and the last look he gave me before he left… the look that said trust me and don’t ask questions. Apparently, keeping my mind busy was supposed to help. That is what I told myself when I dragged Kyle into this. Big mistake. “Are you sure you’re listening to me?” His voice snaps me back and I jerk, blinking at him. “Yes,” I lie with a smile that probably looks painful. “No you’re not.” He pushes his laptop aside and leans forward, studying me with that annoyingly sharp gaze. Breathing today feels like lifting weights. Gardening was impossible. Sitting too long makes my hips lock. And bending down? I’d rather die. So I figured working on designs would distract me. Wrong again. “Why am I here? And don’t say it’s because you forgot how to m
The Billionaire’s Regret 314:
NATE’S POV “Elara, what is going on?” Her eyes went wide as she pressed both hands over her belly. “What is going on? You said we would hit three more stores.” Her tone was flat, but her stare could cut stone. “I know. But maybe we should leave the rest for another day.” “No.” Her voice snapped like a whip. “We finally get to shop for our baby. I am not leaving until we cross everything off that list of yours.” “Elara…” I pinch the bridge of my nose, scrambling for the right words that will not set her off. She pulls out her phone, scrolling through the checklist from our parenting class like she is about to take an exam. “We are more than halfway done,” she says. “You can take one of the cars and go home. The guards and I will finish here.” Her expression is unreadable. Serious. A dare. “You don’t actually think I will leave you here alone.” “Then your plans should wait.” She most definitely know what could be at stake. What could happen if we don’t get to safety but she
The Billionaire’s Regret 313: REALITY IS BACK.
NATE’S POVOur princess could not have chosen a worse moment for her first kick.One second Elara was crying into her tea. The next she was laughing like nothing had ever hurt her. And then that tiny flutter hit her belly and I swear the whole world shifted beneath my feet.For weeks I tried to get her involved in the nursery. I asked her opinions, showed her the crib options, begged her to just pick paint colors. She always slipped away. Flowers to tend, layouts to approve, furniture to order for other people’s homes. Everything mattered more than our own child’s room.But I knew better than to push. She is strong, yes, but until Nicolas is behind bars, she will always be bracing for the moment her nightmare tries to crawl back into her life. Even with all the raids, even with the police ripping apart his warehouse piece by piece, the bastard has not cracked. He will wait for the perfect time to strike.So we pretend life is normal. We pretend this city is safe. And we pretend that b
