Daniel didn’t interrupt.

He hadn’t, not once.

Even now, while Amelia sat across from him, shoulders trembling, her breaths uneven, her tears falling freely, he stayed exactly where he was.

Present.

Still.

Grounded.

His hands held hers firmly but gently, his thumbs moving in slow, absent circles against her skin, not to stop her, not to quiet her.

But to remind her she wasn’t alone in it.

Because this.

This wasn’t something you interrupted.

This was something you allowed.

And Daniel understood t

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 75- Close Enough to Feel It

    Amelia blinked.Once.Twice.Like her mind was trying to catch up with what was happening in front of her.Because this.This couldn’t be real.Right?She had been teasing.Playing.Expecting a laugh.A witty comeback.Not this.Not him actually standing there, plate in hand, looking completely serious about feeding her like it was the most natural thing in the world.She was shocked.Completely.But beneath the surprise.Underneath that initial disbelief.Something else settled quietly into her chest.Something warm.Something soft.Something that made her heart beat just a little faster than it should.Because when she looked at his face.Really looked.There was nothing playful there.Nothing mocking.Nothing teasing.Just… sincerity.Genuine.Honest.And something deeper.Something she didn’t quite want to name.Love?The thought slipped in uninvited.She didn’t dwell on it.Didn’t question it.Because the next thing she knew.She was opening her mouth.Letting him feed her.Just

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 74- Sweet Distractions

    The moment Alexander’s speech ended, the tension in the room shifted.Not gone.Just… loosened.The crowd gathered at the foot of the stairs began to disperse, conversations slowly picking back up, laughter weaving its way into the soft music once again. The formality of the moment dissolved into something more relaxed, more fluid, as people drifted into smaller groups, toward drinks, toward food, toward whatever, or whoever, held their interest.Amelia exhaled quietly.She hadn’t realized she’d been holding her breath.“Come on,” Daniel murmured beside her, his voice low and warm.Before she could respond, he gently took her hand and began leading her away from the thinning crowd.She followed easily.Willingly.Because honestly.Anywhere was better than standing there, feeling the weight of a hundred unseen eyes and one very specific gaze she was trying very hard to ignore.They moved through the room, weaving past elegantly dressed guests and waiters balancing trays of drinks, unti

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 73- Lines Drawn in Silence

    “I have to deal with him.”The words barely left Alexander’s lips, muttered low enough that they brushed only his own hearing.But they stayed.They settled.Because he meant them.Every step he took on the dance floor felt heavier than it should.Measured.Controlled.But beneath that control, something sharp kept pressing through.Something that didn’t sit well in his chest.Something that refused to be ignored.The music flowed around them, soft, elegant, almost soothing, but Alexander didn’t feel it.Not anymore.Not since his eyes had locked onto her.Amelia.And the man beside her.With each turn, each slow movement, his gaze kept returning there.Like a compass refusing to point anywhere else.And then.He noticed it.A detail so small, yet impossible to ignore once seen.Their clothes.His eyes narrowed slightly.Black.Gold.Matching.Perfectly matched.Intentional or not.It didn’t matter.Because the effect was the same.They looked like they belonged together.Like they ha

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 72- The Man Across the Floor

    Alexander led Victoria down the stairs and into the crowd with practiced ease, every step measured, every movement controlled.The moment they reached the dance floor, attention shifted.Not subtly.Not quietly.People noticed.Of course they did.Conversations dipped.Eyes followed.Whispers rose like a quiet current beneath the music.“That’s the CEO…”“That’s his wife…”“They look good together…”Alexander heard it all.Every word.Every tone.Every unnecessary observation floating through the room like background noise.But gossip wasn’t his mission tonight.Not even close.What did these people know?What did any of them understand about what stood behind appearances?About what was real and what was merely arranged?To them, this was simple.A powerful man and his beautiful wife dancing under golden lights.A perfect picture.A complete story.But Alexander knew better.Because perfection was often just presentation.And tonight.Tonight was not about presentation.Arriving at t

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 71- A Dance with Intent

    It wasn’t the first time Victoria had called him handsome.And it certainly wasn’t the first time she had complimented him.But this time.This time felt different.Alexander noticed it immediately.Maybe it was the tone.Softer than usual.Less sharp.Less demanding.Or maybe it was because it had been a while.A long while.He knew she had been angry.Of course she had.Victoria was not the type to hide her emotions when something displeased her, and his sudden distance, his distraction, had not gone unnoticed.He had felt it in the way she spoke to him.The tension in her words.The subtle accusations wrapped in casual conversations.The silence when she chose not to argue.She knew something had shifted.And she didn’t like it.But what could he say?What explanation would even make sense?Because the truth.The truth was something she wouldn’t understand.He exhaled quietly, his gaze drifting briefly back to the crowd below.Because everything, somehow, always led back to her.Am

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 70- The Man at the Center

    After carefully planning for this gala, the day had finally arrived.Alexander had always believed that execution mattered more than intention.Ideas were easy.Vision was common.But bringing something to life, perfectly, precisely, without cracks, that was where power revealed itself.And tonight?Tonight was proof of that power.From the moment he stepped into the hall earlier that evening, overseeing the final touches, ensuring every detail aligned with his expectations, he knew.It was flawless.The lighting.The arrangement.The guest list.Everything had been curated with purpose.Nothing was accidental.Because Alexander Kingsley did not believe in accidents.He believed in control.And tonight, control mattered more than ever.By the time the hall filled and the low hum of conversation settled into the polished rhythm of wealth and influence, Alexander stood still for a moment at the edge of the room, observing.Calculating.Most of the guests had arrived.Familiar faces.Imp
