Alexander’s eyes drifted back toward the couple across the room again.

Toward Amelia.

Toward him.

And instantly, the irritation he had been trying to suppress returned full force.

Because no matter how much he tried to focus on the gala, on the guests, on business.

His attention always found her again.

Like it belonged there.

Like it refused to stay away.

His jaw tightened subtly as he replayed the earlier moment on the dance floor in his head.

Amelia had seen him.

He knew she had.

    Standing in front of Amelia did absolutely nothing to relieve the irritation burning inside Alexander.If anything.It made it worse.Much worse. Because during the entire walk over, he had imagined this moment differently.He expected hesitation.Expected tension.Expected Amelia to at least create some distance between herself and Daniel the moment he approached.Maybe step away slightly.Maybe look nervous.Maybe give some indication that his presence still affected her the way hers affected him.But instead.She stood there calmly.Beautifully composed.And offered him nothing more than simple courtesy.“Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley.”Her voice was polite.Professional.Controlled.Like she was speaking to business associates and nothing more.Alexander’s jaw tightened subtly.“Thank you for your invitation,” she continued smoothly. “Your company’s gala is very much wonderful, with so many good food and activities.”For a moment, Alexander almost forgot to respond.Because

    Alexander’s eyes drifted back toward the couple across the room again.Toward Amelia.Toward him.And instantly, the irritation he had been trying to suppress returned full force.Because no matter how much he tried to focus on the gala, on the guests, on business.His attention always found her again.Like it belonged there.Like it refused to stay away.His jaw tightened subtly as he replayed the earlier moment on the dance floor in his head.Amelia had seen him.He knew she had.In the middle of the dance, she had turned.And their eyes met.For those few seconds, the entire room disappeared.At least for him.But the problem was.He couldn’t read her expression.That was what bothered him most.There had been no softness there.No obvious anger either.Just… something distant.Something guarded.She had stared at him for only a few moments before turning away again.Back to Daniel.Back to smiling.Back to dancing like he didn’t matter.And then.As if to make it worse.She had wr

    Daniel’s eyes immediately widened slightly.“What’s wrong?”Amelia sighed softly, already regretting looking up in the first place.Without saying a word, she subtly gestured toward the approaching problem.Daniel followed her gaze.And there they were.Alexander and Victoria.Walking directly toward them.For a brief moment, Daniel simply stared.Then.To Amelia’s surprise.He relaxed.Completely.“Oh,” he said casually.That was it.Just oh.As though her ex-boyfriend and his wife approaching them wasn’t something worth reacting dramatically to.Then, without hesitation, he stepped a little closer to her and took her hand in his.Firmly.Comfortingly.Like he was grounding her before the storm even arrived.Amelia looked at him briefly.And somehow.That small gesture eased her nerves more than words could have.Meanwhile.Across the room.Alexander was trying very hard not to let his emotions show too obviously.Trying.And failing.Because every second tonight had tested him in wa

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 78- Choosing Forward

    Looking at the reason she had been feeling watched all night, Amelia honestly didn’t know how to feel.Her emotions tangled together in ways she couldn’t fully separate.Confusion.Annoyance.Bitterness.Something unfinished.And maybe that was what frustrated her the most.Because she wanted to feel nothing.Absolutely nothing.But emotions were rarely that simple.Her gaze lingered for only a moment before shifting more carefully toward the woman dancing beside Alexander.Victoria.If she remembered correctly, that was her name.The same woman who had introduced herself politely the night Amelia attended their engagement.The memory returned so sharply it almost made her chest ache.That night.That humiliation.Standing there pretending she was fine while her entire world quietly shattered beneath her feet.A bitter feeling crept in.Not jealousy.No.That part had died long ago.This bitterness came from remembering how broken she had been.How deeply she had hurt.How she had cri

    Following Amelia’s gaze, Daniel didn’t need long to understand.He saw it immediately.The shift.The tension.The way her body had gone from relaxed to rigid in a matter of seconds.And when his eyes landed on the source.Of course.It was him.Alexander.Daniel’s jaw tightened just slightly, though his expression didn’t change much on the surface.So that’s what this was.So that’s why.“She must have felt him staring.The pressure.The discomfort creeping back into what had been, just moments ago, a perfect moment.Still moving with the rhythm of the music, Daniel didn’t stop.Didn’t break the flow.Instead, he adjusted.Smoothly.Naturally.With one controlled turn, he spun Amelia gently so her back faced Alexander, placing himself between her and that gaze without making it obvious to anyone else watching.Then he caught her again, his hand firm at her waist as she settled back into position.The movement worked.Because now.Her attention was back on him.Her eyes lifted, meetin

    Without hesitating.not even for a second.Amelia smiled.“It would be my pleasure, Mr. Carter.”There was something soft in her voice.Something certain.Something that didn’t need to be questioned.She placed her hand in his, and just like that, he led her toward the dance floor.No rush.No pressure.Just a slow, steady pull that felt natural, like she had done this with him a hundred times before, even though she hadn’t.When they reached the center, Daniel’s hand found her waist again, firm but gentle, while his other hand held hers. Amelia rested her free hand lightly on his shoulder, her fingers barely brushing the fabric of his suit.And then.They moved.Slowly at first.Finding the rhythm.Letting the music guide them.Gliding across the floor like everyone else… but somehow, it felt different.To her, at least.Because Amelia.She felt it.That quiet, bubbling excitement deep in her chest.Like something inside her had come alive again.Her inner child practically bounced w
