The Billionaire's Regret You Ruined My Anger
Evening settled slowly over Èze, far too beautiful for a day filled with suspect lists, digital certificates, and twenty missing minutes in a security log.I claimed the chaise lounge on the lower terrace as my personal territory. White linen pants, black tank top, hair down, sunglasses on, and a glass of iced coffee containing significantly more ice than coffee. If my life was about to turn into a criminal investigation, the least I could do was avoid looking like the victim in a news photo.Poppy was napping inside after insisting she wasn’t tired.According to her, she just “needed to lie down because the world had too many opinions.”Salma sent her upstairs before I could ask who had taught her that sentence. Most likely me.Sebastian sat a few yards away beneath the pergola, his laptop open in front of him. He’d traded his white shirt for a dark gray T-shirt that made his shoulders look like an administrative problem no one could solve over email.I wasn’t looking at him.I just

I stared at him. I just stood there looking at him until that charming face should have started feeling guilty for taking up the same oxygen as me. Sadly, Sebastian Romano’s guilt reflex worked much slower than a normal person’s.He stood beside the table with one hand in his pocket, shoulders loose, expression calm. The wind off the sea moved a little through his dark hair.Very cinematic and frustrating.“You think I’m going to call Adrian,” I said, “and go, ‘Hi, quick question. Did you install spy equipment in my house after bringing takeout? Please answer honestly. Heart emoji if no’?”“I think you want to hear his explanation.”“Of course I do.”“I know.” Sebastian’s gaze dropped briefly to the ring on my finger. “I don’t think you’re incapable of thinking.”“Oh, good. Because for the last three minutes, it’s felt like my brain got downgraded to a hair accessory.”“I think you’re too close to this.”I let out a short laugh. “And you’re not?”“I’m too close too.”The answer came e
The Billionaire's Regret A Memory With Fingerprints
Poppy was talkative, stubborn, and unusually gifted at turning every day into a debate arena with no rules. But that wasn’t what truly unsettled me.It was her memory.The way she caught small things adults barely noticed. Strange words, changes in someone’s voice, details that should have disappeared into the blur of daily life. She didn’t just remember them. She stored them, connected them, then brought them back with almost disturbing precision.And it wasn’t random.It was intelligence in its purest form. Still innocent, still untrained in how to hide itself, still unaware of when it might be safer to stay quiet.I moved in front of Poppy and crouched beside her chair. We were almost eye level now. Her cheeks were round, her bangs poked into one eye, and on that little face that looked far too much like Sebastian’s was the serious expression of a child holding family history without realizing she could set it on fire.“When was that, Pop?”She shrugged. “Before.”“Before when?”“B
The Billionaire's Regret A Little Voice From The Old System
I did not panic.Panic was not part of my brand. I had built a reputation as a woman who could find a threatening envelope, an ex-husband, a child from a past marriage, a fiancé who turned out to be her ex’s stepbrother, and still look like she had just walked off a niche perfume campaign. I was not going to be taken down by the word schedule.But my brain, apparently, had not received that memo.Schedule.House.Old system.The smart-home vendor who had come twice because the front hallway lights liked to turn themselves on at three in the morning like a demon with bad interior taste. The audio technician who replaced the panel in the family room.The French man with glasses who had once spent two hours in the small server room under the stairs saying, “Madame, it’s only a firmware update,” with the expression of someone concealing tax crimes.House staff. Old drivers. The Belsky property manager. Daniella had once come over with plywood samples. Hazel had slept in the guest room and
The Billionaire's Regret an old key in the wrong hands
The glass door behind me slid open softly.I didn’t turn around at first. The villa was full of staff whose footsteps were quieter than rich men’s guilt. But only one person could change the air around me like someone had lowered the temperature in the room without touching the AC.Sebastian stopped a few steps from the table.His shadow fell across the stone floor, long and clean. I saw his reflection in the surface of my water glass: white shirt, sleeves rolled to his elbows, one hand holding his phone. Too handsome for ten in the morning. Too calm for someone whose family might currently be getting used as a psychological warfare machine by someone else.“I heard Poppy is demanding legal representation for the number seven,” he said.“I support her. Seven has the energy of a man who disappears when you ask about commitment.”“Jas.”Something in his voice shifted.He stood near the door, his eyes resting on my face for a second before dropping to the phone on the table. Maybe he hea
The Billionaire's Regret there was still a key in the lock
I sat up straighter.My fingers stopped around my glass of water.There was no message first. No careful sentence I could read five times before answering.Just a call.I picked up the phone before my courage found somewhere to hide.“Adrian?”“Hi, Jas.”“How are you?” I asked immediately. “Where are you?”On the other end, I heard the soft sound of a door closing. Then footsteps.“I’m at the office,” he said. “Fontvieille.”“The office?”“I went home for a bit. Showered. Changed clothes. Stared at the ceiling like a man who’d just received a terminal diagnosis from PowerPoint.” He let out a short breath. “Then I came here.”“Did you sleep?”“A little.”“That’s a man’s answer for no.”“I slept for forty minutes on the meeting room sofa.”“Adrian.”“I know. Very glamorous.”“Did you eat?”“I had a sandwich.”“What kind of sandwich?”“Why does that sound like an immigration interrogation?”“Because I know you. When you say you ate, you could mean you had coffee and smelled an almond cro
