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 holdin

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 67- Red Carpet Confessions

    The drive to the Kingsley event gala was nothing like Amelia expected.There was no heavy silence.No looming dread.No suffocating anxiety pressing against her chest.Instead.It was filled with something entirely different.Something warm.Something electric.Something dangerously close to excitement.Not because they were on their way to the gala.But because of them.Because whatever was happening between her and Daniel… it was real.And it was happening fast.Faster than she had planned.Faster than she had prepared for.And yet.She wasn’t pulling away.If anything.She was leaning into it.The soft glow of city lights filtered through the tinted windows as the car moved smoothly through the evening streets, casting fleeting reflections across Daniel’s face.Amelia found herself watching him again.Not subtly.Not carefully.Just watching.And smiling.Because truly.“Mr. Carter really loves to match with me.”The words slipped out before she could stop them.Daniel turned his h

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 66- Black, Gold, and Fire

    After showering, Amelia stood in front of her vanity mirror wrapped in a silk robe, towel drying the last traces of water from her hair.Tonight was not a “simple makeup” kind of night.Absolutely not.She stared at her reflection for a moment, then at the black and gold gown laid carefully across her bed.That dress demanded presence.It demanded drama.Soft, natural makeup would simply not survive next to it.“No,” she muttered to herself. “Tonight we fight properly.”So she did.She sat down in front of her makeup stand and got to work.No soft pinks.No innocent gloss.Tonight called for darker shades.Sharp eyeliner.Smoky shadows that deepened her hazel eyes.Defined cheekbones.And lips.A bold, dangerous red.The kind of lipstick that said I am not the one to play with tonight.By the time she finished, she leaned back slightly and stared at herself in the mirror.Even she had to pause.Because wow.She tilted her head.Turned slightly.Then smirked.“I look hot.”Honestly?Th

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 65- The Woman in Black and Gold

    Daniel stepped out of his house with one thought in his mind.Tonight mattered.Not because of the gala itself.Not because of the business faces, the shareholders, or the expensive smiles waiting behind polished glasses of champagne.But because Amelia would be there.And so would Alexander.That alone was enough reason for tonight to matter.His driver had already been waiting for him out front, standing beside the sleek black car with the quiet efficiency Daniel appreciated.The moment he saw Daniel approaching, he opened the back door without a word.Daniel adjusted the cuff of his sleeve once before slipping inside.The leather seat was cool against him.The driver shut the door, walked around, and settled into the front seat.“Where to, sir?”Daniel loosened his tie slightly and answered without hesitation.“To Amelia’s place.”“Yes, sir.”Without another word, the engine started.The drive was smooth, but Daniel’s mind was anything but.His fingers tapped lightly against his kn

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 64- Patience, Precision, And War

    Daniel truly was a patient man.Life had made sure of that.Business had refined it.And love, if that was what this thing with Amelia was becoming, was testing it in ways he had never expected.Patience wasn’t weakness.People often confused the two.They mistook calmness for softness.Silence for passivity.But Daniel had learned long ago that patience was often the sharpest weapon.Because the person who waited carefully usually saw more.Understood more.Won more.And right now.Patience was exactly what he needed.Because despite not knowing exactly what Alexander’s plan was for the gala, Daniel knew enough.Enough to recognize intention.Enough to see strategy.Enough to understand that men like Alexander did not host events like this without a second purpose hiding underneath polished speeches and expensive champagne.The gala wasn’t innocent.It was a move.A carefully arranged stage.And Amelia.She was the reason for it.Daniel stood by the window of his office, one hand in

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 63- Wrapped in Black and Gold

    True to his word, only a few minutes after Amelia had hung up the phone, her doorbell rang.She froze for half a second in the middle of her room.“That better not be him already,” she muttered, though the small smile on her lips betrayed her.She walked toward the door, smoothing down her shirt unnecessarily, and opened it to find a delivery man standing there holding the most beautiful box she had ever seen.Not just beautiful.Expensive-looking.Elegant.The kind of box that made you instinctively stand straighter when holding it.The delivery man smiled politely.“Miss Amelia Hart?”She nodded.“Yes.”He handed over the package and the signing slip.“Delivery for you.”Of course it was.She thanked him, signed quickly, and carefully took the box into her apartment like she was carrying state secrets.The moment the door closed behind her, she looked down at it properly.“Daniel Carter…”She shook her head slowly.Dangerous man.The box itself felt substantial.Heavy.Luxurious.It

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 62- The Evening Before the Storm

    It was the day of the gala.And Amelia had been irritated since morning.Now, as evening slowly approached and golden light stretched across her bedroom floor, that irritation had only grown stronger.She stood in the middle of her room, staring at her phone like it had personally offended her.The invitation glowed back at her.Elegant.Polished.Annoyingly formal.And still just as irritating as the first time she had seen it.Kingsley Technologies Annual Gala.Hosted by Alexander Kingsley.She rolled her eyes for what had to be the hundredth time that day.“Unbelievable.”The worst part?She kept opening it.Like somehow staring at it long enough would make it disappear.It didn’t.Instead, it just kept reminding her that tonight she would have to walk into a room full of polished smiles, fake conversations, and unresolved history wearing heels and pretending she had her life together.Fantastic.Her closet stood open like it was mocking her.Dresses everywhere.On the bed.On the
