Victoria had remained silent through everything.

Not because she lacked something to say.

Far from it.

But because sometimes silence revealed far more than interruption ever could.

So she stood a few feet away near the standing table area, one hand lightly wrapped around the stem of her champagne glass, quietly observing everything unfolding before her.

From the moment Alexander asked Amelia to speak privately.

Victoria watched.

Carefully.

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 87- Watching Quietly

    Victoria had remained silent through everything.Not because she lacked something to say.Far from it.But because sometimes silence revealed far more than interruption ever could.So she stood a few feet away near the standing table area, one hand lightly wrapped around the stem of her champagne glass, quietly observing everything unfolding before her.From the moment Alexander asked Amelia to speak privately.Victoria watched.Carefully.Patiently.She couldn’t hear what they were saying from where she stood beside Daniel earlier, but honestly?She didn’t need to.Body language alone was enough.And Victoria had always been good at reading people.It was a skill she learned growing up around wealthy businessmen, politicians, socialites, and manipulative smiles hidden beneath polished conversations.People lied with words.But bodies?Bodies usually told the truth.She saw the way Amelia stood during the conversation.Calm.Controlled.Distant.There was no longing in her posture.No

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 86- Drawn Lines

    Amelia immediately felt irritation surge through her.Hot.Sharp.Overwhelming.She wasn’t even sure anymore if it was Alexander’s touch that upset her.Or simply his presence.The moment his grip tightened painfully around her arm, every ounce of calm she had carefully maintained tonight began cracking apart.Struggling against him, she tried pulling her arm free.“Let go of me!”Her voice came out louder this time.Angrier.She glared directly at him while twisting her wrist desperately.“Right now!”Alexander’s eyes widened slightly.Maybe from her tone.Maybe because she had never looked at him this way before.Not truly.There was no softness left in her expression now.No lingering attachment.Only frustration.Only exhaustion.Only someone who genuinely wanted to be released.And before Alexander could react.Before he could even speak.A force suddenly yanked him backward.Hard.Caught off guard completely, Alexander stumbled several steps back trying to regain his balance.Hi

    Alexander stepped forward until he was directly in front of her.Close enough that she could see the frustration burning behind his eyes.Close enough to notice the tension in his jaw.Close enough to feel the heat radiating from him despite the cool night air around them.And unlike before.This time Amelia didn’t step back.She stood her ground.Watching him calmly.Alexander bent slightly, lowering himself closer to her height so he could look directly into her face.“Because you’re just angry at me.”His voice was quieter now.But somehow heavier.“Because I didn’t tell you about Victoria.”He straightened slightly.“Because you had to see our engagement.”His eyes stayed locked onto hers.“Because the ring I gave her was the one you wanted.”For a second, Amelia simply stared at him.Not heartbroken.Not emotional.Just stunned.Because somehow.Even after all these years.Alexander still didn’t understand.He still thought the biggest wound had been the ring.The engagement.Vic

    “Yes,” Amelia answered quietly. “That’s exactly what I’m saying.”The words came out steadier than she expected.Even her own heartbeat seemed shocked by how calm she sounded.Breathing slowly in and out, she looked at him more seriously this time.“I came to this gala for one thing only,” she continued. “To have this talk with you.”For a second, Alexander simply stared at her.Like his brain refused to process what she had just said.Then suddenly, he scoffed.A sharp sound.Disbelieving.His hand slipped from his pocket and rested on his waist as frustration visibly settled into his posture.“Why?” he asked bitterly. “Because of him?”Amelia already knew who he meant before he even continued.“Daniel or whatever.”The irritation in his tone when he said Daniel’s name almost made her sigh.“You think you’re over me because of him?”Amelia looked at him for a few seconds without answering immediately.Then slowly, she turned away from him.The cool night breeze swept softly across th

    “What about us?”Amelia asked the question softly, but there was no hesitation behind it this time.No nervousness.No uncertainty.And after a brief pause, she added honestly,“I also wanted to talk to you.”The moment the words left her lips, Alexander smiled.Not just smiled.He looked relieved.Almost hopeful.Like a man who had just heard exactly what he wanted to hear.“I knew it,” he murmured.Amelia tilted her head slightly.“You knew what?”Alexander shook his head lightly, the faint smile still lingering on his face.“Oh, nothing.”But Amelia noticed it.That sudden shift in his mood.That excitement in his expression.And honestly?It confused her.Because she couldn’t understand why he looked so happy all of a sudden.Then again.She quickly realized she didn’t really want to know either.Whatever version of this conversation existed in Alexander’s head clearly wasn’t the same one happening in hers.“Why don’t you go ahead first,” he said. “Mine might take a while.”The so

    Throughout the entire interaction with Alexander and Victoria, Amelia had remained calm.Suspiciously calm.So calm that even she was beginning to surprise herself.Because honestly?A few weeks ago, seeing Alexander again would have shattered whatever composure she tried to maintain.Back then, just hearing his voice would have been enough to reopen wounds she spent years trying to stitch shut.But tonight.Tonight felt different.From the very moment she saw him and Victoria walking toward her across the hall…To standing before them…To greeting them politely while ignoring the intensity of Alexander’s stare…She handled it all carefully.Deliberately.Almost like she had rehearsed this moment secretly in her head before tonight ever arrived.And maybe she had.Maybe somewhere deep down, she had been preparing for this confrontation from the second he reentered her life.Every word.Every reaction.Every breath.Controlled.Measured.Safe.Even when his eyes burned into her like th
