Alexander had not moved from his desk for a long time.

Not because there was nothing to do.

But because nothing in front of him seemed important enough to hold his attention.

The reports were open.

The numbers clear.

The decisions waiting.

And yet.

His mind refused to stay there.

It kept drifting.

Back to her.

Amelia.

The way she stood in that boardroom, composed and untouchable, like she had never once belonged to the version of him that still remembered her differently. The way she spoke with

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 138- Home Cooked Promises

    By the time Daniel pulled into the driveway, Amelia had already forgotten the conversation they’d shared in the car.Well… almost.The moment the large wrought-iron gates swung open automatically, her attention was stolen by the breathtaking estate before her.The driveway curved gracefully toward a magnificent mansion, surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns and carefully trimmed hedges. At the center of the courtyard stood an elegant marble fountain, its crystal-clear water dancing beneath the afternoon sun.Everything about the property was immaculate.Modern.Sophisticated.Even the outdoor lighting and security systems seemed fully automated, quietly operating in the background.Daniel parked the car in front of the entrance before turning off the engine.They climbed out together.Amelia slowly shut the passenger door, her eyes still wandering around the estate.She let out a soft whistle.“Your place is beautiful.”Daniel slipped his hands into his pockets, a smug smile tugging

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 137- A Heart at Peace

    Amelia rested her head against the passenger seat, quietly watching the city pass by through the window.Everything that had happened over the last hour felt almost surreal.Daniel had just bared his heart to her.Completely.Without holding anything back.Every fear.Every memory.Every reason he had loved her for all these years.She closed her eyes for a moment.No man would willingly expose himself the way Daniel had.Some people carried secrets like those to their graves, choosing to live with the weight rather than risk rejection.Yet Daniel had entrusted every one of those secrets to her.He hadn’t hidden behind excuses.He hadn’t tried to make himself look better.He had simply told her the truth.The whole truth.And the entire time he had been speaking, she had seen it.The fear in his eyes.The slight tremble in his voice.The uncertainty behind every pause.For perhaps the first time since she’d known him, Daniel Carter hadn’t looked like the confident billionaire who coul

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 136- The Answer I’d Waited Years to Hear

    Daniel stared at Amelia, utterly confused.The expression on his face made it obvious he hadn’t understood her question.Amelia noticed immediately.She took a slow breath and tried again.“You said…” she began softly, “…that as you got to know me and spent more time with me, you thought what you felt for me was love.”She straightened in her seat and turned to look out the passenger window, unable to meet his eyes. She wasn’t sure she could bear whatever answer was about to come.“So I’m asking you now…”Her fingers tightened around the sleeve of her jacket.“Have you finally decided what it is you feel for me?”Silence.Daniel opened his mouth to answer, but before he could say a word, Amelia let out a shaky breath.Tears welled in her eyes.“I…” she whispered.“I don’t want to be made a fool of for the second time.”A tear rolled down her cheek.“If what you felt for me was only gratitude… then you didn’t have to go this far.”Her voice cracked, and soon the tears came faster.“You

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 135- The Truth in My Heart

    Daniel had imagined this moment countless times.In some versions, Amelia smiled before he even finished speaking.In others, she walked away.The worst ones ended with her looking at him as though he were a complete stranger.Now, sitting beside her in the quiet car parked beneath the shade of old trees, there was no escaping it.She deserved the truth.Every part of it.He drew in a slow breath.“My parents knew yours long before either of us understood what friendship meant.”Amelia’s brows knitted together, but she remained silent.“My father and your father built their companies around the same time. They weren’t competitors then. They were friends. Real friends.”Daniel smiled faintly.“I was only a little boy when my parents first brought me to your house.”His eyes drifted to the windshield, though what he saw wasn’t the road.It was the past.“You were even smaller.”“A tiny girl with messy hair tied into two uneven ponytails”.“You kept insisting I play tea party with you.”

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 134- The Truth Begins

    Amelia had never thought a single sentence could occupy so much space in her mind.Yet ever since Daniel had looked into her eyes the previous night and calmly confessed, “I’ve known you for years. Our meeting wasn’t an accident,” her thoughts had refused to settle.The next morning, she sat behind the large mahogany desk in her office at Hart Corporation, a stack of reports spread neatly before her.She hadn’t read a single page.Her pen hovered above the document in her hand, but the words blurred together.“I’ve known you for years…”What exactly did he mean?She leaned back in her chair, letting out a slow sigh.Business school?Could they have crossed paths before she noticed him?No…That couldn’t be right.She was certain she would have remembered someone like Daniel Carter. Even before getting to know him, he had possessed a commanding presence that naturally drew people’s attention.Maybe a business conference?A charity gala?An interview?She closed her eyes briefly, search

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 133- A Love Worth Waiting For

    Daniel couldn’t stop smiling as he walked beside Amelia toward the parking garage beneath Hart Corporation.Even now, after holding her in his arms just minutes ago, it still didn’t feel real.Days.Days of calls, stolen late-night conversations across time zones, and counting down till the day until they could finally be together again.And now she was here.Close enough for him to reach out and intertwine their fingers.She glanced at him, amusement dancing in her eyes.“You’ve been smiling ever since you saw me.“Can you blame me?”She laughed, the sound easing something deep inside his chest.“Not really.”He opened the passenger door for her before walking around to the driver’s side.“Where are we going?” she asked once they were inside.Daniel started the engine with a mysterious smile.“It’s a surprise.”Amelia eyed him suspiciously before fastening her seatbelt.“You’re enjoying this far too much.”Daniel chuckled as he eased the car out of the parking garage.“Maybe.”“You’r

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 42- The Choice That Doesn’t Settle

    The car door closed with a soft, final click.Amelia leaned back into the seat, her chest still tight, her pulse refusing to slow. The city lights streaked past the window as Daniel eased the car into traffic, the engine’s low hum filling the silence that followed them out of the restaurant.Neithe

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 41- What He Didn’t See

    Alexander didn’t remember the drive back.Didn’t remember the turns he took.The lights he passed.The distance he covered.Only that he was sitting in his car now.Still.And alone.The engine had long gone quiet, but he hadn’t made a move to step out. His hands rested loosely on the steering whee

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 37- The Distance Between Them

    Alexander didn’t walk in immediately.The car engine had gone quiet minutes ago, but he remained seated, his gaze fixed on the restaurant just across the street. The soft glow of lights spilled through the glass windows, warm and inviting, a sharp contrast to the tension coiled tightly in his chest

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 32- The Things He Missed

    Alexander closed the door to his office a little harder than necessary.The sound echoed briefly, then disappeared into the silence that followed.He didn’t move immediately.Didn’t sit.Didn’t reach for the stack of files waiting on his desk.He just stood there.Still.Because for the first time
