The night before, during the ride back home, Daniel couldn't help but grin widely to himself.

He had tried.

Really tried.

But every time he remembered Amelia's expression, the grin returned.

The image replayed in his mind like a favorite movie scene.

The surprise.

The blush.

The speechlessness.

For once, Amelia Hart had been completely caught off guard.

And all it had taken was a kiss on the cheek.

Daniel chuckled quietly to himself.

She had started it.

After all, she had kissed his cheek first

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 122: A Message From the Past

    Alexander stood there for a few seconds after Victoria left.The office had fallen silent.Too silent.The sound of the door slamming behind her still echoed faintly in his ears.With a sigh, he pushed himself away from the couch and walked toward the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows that overlooked the city.The view was impressive.It always had been.Years ago, standing in an office like this had been nothing more than a dream.Now it belonged to him.Yet for some reason, it brought him little comfort today.His hands slipped into his pockets as he stared down at the traffic below.Cars moved through the streets.People hurried along sidewalks.The city carried on as if nothing had happened.Meanwhile, his thoughts felt completely tangled.Eventually, he released a slow breath.Then turned away from the window.Walking back across the office, he lowered himself into his chair.The leather was slightly warm.Alexander frowned.Of course it was.Victoria had just been sitting the

    He hadn’t even crossed the street when she caught up with him.“Hi.”The word left Victoria’s mouth before she could reconsider.The young man stopped walking immediately.Turning toward her, he looked genuinely confused.“Hi?”His eyebrows furrowed slightly.Victoria almost laughed.Clearly he wasn’t expecting to be stopped.Especially not by her.For a moment, neither spoke.Then he broke the silence.“I’m sorry, but do I know you?”“No, you don’t.”Victoria gestured toward the building they had both just come from.“But this is my father’s company.”Realization flashed across his face.Almost immediately followed by embarrassment.“I saw you getting dragged out,” she continued. “And I just wondered what happened.”“Oh.”He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.“That.”Victoria nodded.He laughed quietly.Not because anything was funny.More because he seemed uncomfortable.“I guess I’m not the type of client your father wants.”There was disappointment in his voice.The kind that

    Alexander scoffed.“I didn’t drag her.”He leaned back against the couch, crossing one leg over the other.“She came willingly.”Victoria leaned back against the CEO chair as well, studying him carefully.“Mmm.”She tilted her head.“Well, what did you want to talk to her about?”Alexander’s jaw tightened immediately.“Why do you care?”The answer only made her irritation grow.Victoria stood up from the chair.The movement was slow and deliberate.“Because I am your wife!”Her voice echoed through the large office.Alexander’s expression darkened.But Victoria wasn’t finished.“I’ve tolerated enough, Alexander.”Years of frustration seeped into her words.“How long will you keep obsessing about her?”Silence.His face remained unreadable.Victoria took a step forward.“It’s very clear she has moved on.”Another step.“And with someone clearly out of your league.”That hit a nerve.She saw it immediately.Still, she continued.“Why won’t you just—”“Enough!”Alexander’s voice thundere

    After a while, they arrived at Kingsley Technologies.The moment the car rolled to a stop in front of the towering glass building, the driver quickly stepped out.As always.Professional.Efficient.He moved around the vehicle and opened the rear door for Victoria.“Ma’am.”Victoria stepped out gracefully.Her boots clicked softly against the pavement.For a brief moment she adjusted her shirt, smoothed down her skirt, and straightened her posture.Perfect.Not that it had stopped being perfect during the ride.Still, appearances mattered.Especially here.Especially now.With one final glance at her reflection in the building’s glass exterior, Victoria began walking toward the entrance.The security guards noticed her immediately.Of course they did.She was the CEO’s wife.No identification card was necessary.No questions were asked.No introductions required.The guards straightened automatically.One hurried to open the door.The other nodded respectfully.“Good afternoon, ma’am.

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 117- The Wife’s Visit

    After her shower, Victoria decided to go see Alexander at the company.If her guess was right—and it usually was when it came to her husband—he would be in a foul and very sour mood right about now.The thought didn’t surprise her.In fact, after everything that had happened today, she would have been shocked if he wasn’t.Daniel Carter’s interview had turned the business world upside down.And Alexander was not the sort of man who enjoyed surprises.Especially surprises that involved his rivals.Victoria stepped out of the bathroom, a cloud of warm steam following behind her.The hot shower had helped clear her thoughts slightly.Not entirely.But enough.She walked toward her walk-in closet, drying her hair with a towel as she moved.If she was going to see Alexander, she intended to look her best.After all, she was going to see her husband.The man she loved.The man she had chosen.The man she had married.Victoria opened her wardrobe doors and scanned the rows of clothing.She t

    “Amelia.”Victoria answered without hesitation.The response came so quickly that she barely had to think about it.On the other end of the call, Roy Laurent went silent for a moment.“Amelia?”His voice carried obvious surprise.“You mean the Hart girl?”Victoria rolled her eyes.Of course he knew exactly who Amelia was.“Yes.”“The second largest shareholder of your husband’s company?”Victoria pinched the bridge of her nose.“Yes, Dad.”The irritation in her voice was unmistakable.Unfortunately, Roy Laurent seemed completely unaffected by it.In fact, he sounded more interested than ever.“How do they know each other?”Victoria stared at the ceiling.If she knew the answer to that question, she would probably be sleeping peacefully right now instead of discussing Daniel Carter.“That’s what I’d like to know myself.”“Hmmm.”The thoughtful hum on the other end immediately put her on edge.Whenever her father made that sound, it usually meant he was about to say something annoying.

    Amelia drove through the familiar streets leading toward the Hart family mansion, a small smile lingering on her lips the entire way.It had been a busy morning, but now that work was behind her, she could finally relax and enjoy the rest of the day with her family.As she approached the large wrou

    After getting ready, Amelia decided to drive herself today.She already had the day planned out, so there was no point waiting for a driver when she could easily get around on her own.Grabbing her handbag and car keys, she headed downstairs and left for work.The city was already alive.Cars fille

    After her theatricals in the shower, Amelia finally hopped out feeling lighter than she had all evening.The steam still clung to the bathroom mirrors while warmth lingered against her skin. Wrapping herself in a towel, she stepped toward the mirror and stared at her reflection for a second.Her ch
