last update Petsa ng paglalathala: 2026-04-11 01:32:01

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 40- The Choice She Makes

    The air shifted again.Not loudly.Not dramatically.But enough.Amelia felt it the moment Daniel stepped fully into the space beside her, his presence steady, grounded in a way that didn’t demand attention—but commanded it anyway.Alexander noticed it too.Of course he did.The way Daniel stood.The way he didn’t rush.Didn’t interrupt.But didn’t step back either.It was subtle.But it was clear.And for the first time since walking out of that restaurant.Alexander wasn’t the only one holding ground.Daniel’s gaze rested on him calmly, his expression polite, composed, but there was something underneath it now. Something firm. Something that didn’t need to be spoken to be understood.“She said she’d be right back,” Daniel said, his voice even. “So I came to check.”Simple.But not empty.Alexander held his gaze, reading between the lines easily.“She’s in the middle of a conversation,” he replied.Daniel didn’t react immediately.But his eyes shifted briefly to Amelia, like he was g

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 39- Questions That Cut Too Deep

    The silence between them didn’t break.It stretched.Thin.Fragile.Like something that could snap with the wrong word.Amelia held her ground, her arms still loosely crossed, her expression calm in a way that took effort. Alexander stood opposite her, unmoving, his gaze fixed on her like he was trying to see past everything she was choosing not to show him.Neither of them spoke.Not at first.Because there was too much.Too much history.Too many things left unsaid.And yet.Not enough clarity.Alexander exhaled slowly, his voice lower now when he finally spoke.“Why?”The single word lingered between them.Amelia frowned slightly. “Why what?”His jaw tightened.“You know what I’m asking.”She did.Of course she did.But acknowledging it.That was something else entirely.Her gaze shifted briefly, like she was considering ignoring it, brushing past it the way she had everything else he had tried to bring up.But this.This wasn’t something he was going to let go.“Why did you invest

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 38- Lines That Don’t Stay Drawn

    For a moment, no one moved.The air at the table shifted, subtle but unmistakable, the kind of tension that didn’t need raised voices to exist. Amelia remained seated, her gaze steady on Alexander, but the ease from moments ago had completely disappeared. In its place was something more careful. More guarded.Daniel noticed.Of course he did.He had seen the change the second her expression stilled, the second her attention shifted to something behind him. He hadn’t needed to turn immediately to understand that someone had interrupted whatever this moment was supposed to be.Still, he did.Slowly.His eyes met Alexander’s for the first time.A brief silence passed between them.Measured.Assessing.Daniel didn’t speak right away. He simply took him in, his expression calm, unreadable in a way that didn’t feel passive. There was awareness there. Quiet, but present.Then his gaze shifted back to Amelia.“Everything okay?” he asked.His voice was steady.Normal.But the question carried

  • 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.He had found her.That should have been enough.But it wasn’t.Because now that he was here.Now that the distance between them had narrowed to something physical.He realized something he hadn’t considered before.He didn’t know what he was walking into.His fingers tightened slightly against the steering wheel as his eyes scanned the interior through the glass.And then.He saw her.Amelia.Seated by the window.Calm.Relaxed.Smiling.The sight hit harder than he expected.Not because she looked different.But because she looked the same in a way that felt unfamiliar.That smile.It wasn’t for him.His gaze shifted.And then he saw him.The man sitting across from her.Alexander’s eyes

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 36- Drawn Back

    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 without hesitation. The way she looked at him.Or rather.Didn’t.His jaw tightened slightly.That look.Or lack of it.Unsettled him more than anything else.Because it meant something.Something he wasn’t ready to define.A knock sounded at the door, pulling him out of his thoughts.“Come in.”His assistant stepped in, tablet in hand, expression professional as always, but there was a slight shift in his posture—just enough to suggest he had something worth reporting.“You asked me to dig into Mis

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 35- Almost Easy

    Amelia stepped out of her building just as the evening air began to settle into something softer.The city hadn’t slowed down, not really, but there was a shift in the atmosphere. The rush had thinned, the noise less sharp, the lights beginning to glow in ways that made everything feel a little less overwhelming.She adjusted the strap of her bag slightly, her eyes scanning the entrance just as a sleek car pulled up in front of her.Right on time.Daniel stepped out from the driver’s side almost immediately, a small smile already on his face as his eyes found hers.“There she is.”Amelia felt her lips curve before she could stop it.“You say that like you weren’t sure I’d show up.”He shrugged lightly, walking around the car toward her. “I like to prepare for disappointment.”She let out a soft laugh, shaking her head. “Wow. So dramatic.”“Only when it matters.”There was something easy about this.Something light.Something that didn’t ask too many questions.Daniel opened the passen

    That evening, Alexander returned home exhausted.The kind of exhaustion that didn’t just sit in the bodyBut weighed on the mind.The moment he stepped into the house, the familiar scent greeted him.Soft.Inviting.And there she was.Victoria.Draped in yet another piece of delicate lingerie, stan

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 15- Something to Look Forward To

    The hall was almost empty now.The once lively space had quieted into soft echoes—faint laughter, distant goodbyes, the occasional shuffle of chairs being moved back into place.It felt… different.Like the end of something.Or maybe the beginning.Amelia walked beside Daniel in comfortable silence

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 14- The Space Between Us

    After the call, Daniel slipped his phone back into his pocket and took a steady breath before heading back into the hall.The noise returned instantly—laughter, music, chatter—but his mind was still elsewhere.On her.His eyes searched instinctively, scanning through clusters of students and famili
