ผู้เขียน: Jessechi
last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-07-19 20:16:22

POV: Vivienne Ashford

"You're lying," Vivienne said, her voice steady despite the sudden roar of blood in her ears. "The accident report was reviewed by three separate insurance investigators. A truck driver fell asleep at the wheel. That's what the report says."

"That's what the report was paid to say," Vanessa said, circling closer, her heels clicking against the marble with unhurried precision, as though she'd rehearsed this entrance a hundred times in front of a mirror. "The driver was paid

  • The Billionaires Greatest Regret   CHAPTER 104: THE SECOND CHANCE INITIATIVE

    POV: Vivienne Ashford"I want to formally ask you both something," Cole said, arriving at Roman's office with a formality that immediately signaled genuine significance rather than routine business discussion. "I've been reflecting considerably on everything that's changed these past two years, my involvement in the shipping initiative, the trust your family has extended toward my continued redemption. I'd like to establish a formal partnership between Cole Maritime Holdings and the Bridge Fund specifically.""What kind of partnership?" Vivienne asked, genuinely curious about this unexpected proposal."Financial support, primarily," Cole said. "I've inherited considerable wealth from my mother's connection to Volkov's operation, wealth I've spent the past two years trying to use toward genuinely legitimate purposes. I'd like to formally direct a portion of that inheritance toward the Bridge Fund's continued work, specifically targeting support for children of individuals connected to

  • The Billionaires Greatest Regret   CHAPTER 103: BRUSSELS

    POV: Vivienne Ashford"I want to talk to you about something that's been on my mind," Katya said, visiting the estate for what had become a regular monthly dinner tradition, her expression carrying a thoughtful seriousness that immediately drew Vivienne's full attention. "I've been offered a position leading the Bridge Fund's entire European operations. Considerably more responsibility, but also considerably more opportunity to expand the program's reach.""That's wonderful news," Vivienne said, genuine pride evident in her voice. "Though I sense there's some hesitation beneath the announcement.""There is," Katya admitted. "The position would require relocating to Brussels, establishing genuine independence from this family's daily orbit in a way I haven't fully experienced since everything with my father began. Part of me feels ready for that. Another part feels frightened of losing the closeness we've built these past two years."Vivienne considered this carefully, recognizing the

  • The Billionaires Greatest Regret   CHAPTER 102: THE FAMILY TRIP

    POV: Vivienne Ashford"I think it's time we actually took that Singapore family trip we discussed," Roman said, several weeks after Vivienne's return, spreading travel brochures across the kitchen table with evident enthusiasm. "The children have been asking about it constantly, and I think we've earned a proper family vacation, given everything this past year required.""I'd like that very much," Vivienne agreed, genuine excitement building as she considered the prospect of sharing the city with her children, rather than simply experiencing it through the narrow lens of conference obligations. "Though I imagine Leo will want the itinerary to include considerable time at the maritime museum, given his current enthusiasms.""Obviously," Leo confirmed, appearing in the doorway with the particular timing that suggested he'd been listening for exactly this kind of planning conversation. "They have an entire exhibit on historical shipping technology. I've already researched it.""Of course

  • The Billionaires Greatest Regret   CHAPTER 101: SINGAPORE

    POV: Vivienne Ashford"I've been invited to speak at the International Maritime Sustainability Conference in Singapore," Vivienne announced at dinner, genuine excitement evident in her voice as she shared the formal invitation with Roman and the children. "They want me to present on the North African partnership model specifically, as a case study for genuinely equitable infrastructure investment.""That's remarkable," Roman said, pride evident in his expression. "Considering how uncertain that entire negotiation felt just over a year ago.""I know," Vivienne said. "I keep thinking about how far it's traveled, from that difficult political resistance to now being held up as an industry model.""Can we come?" Maya asked immediately, her theatrical enthusiasm for travel opportunities evident despite having no genuine interest in maritime sustainability policy."I don't think this particular trip is suited for the whole family," Vivienne said gently. "But perhaps we could plan a proper f

  • The Billionaires Greatest Regret   CHAPTER 100: THE BOAT CAKE

    POV: Vivienne Ashford"I can't believe Grace is turning four already," Vivienne said, watching her youngest daughter direct an elaborate birthday party planning session with Maya, both girls debating the merits of various dragon versus mermaid themed decoration options with considerable passion. "It feels like we only just celebrated her first birthday, and now she has actual, strong opinions about party themes.""She takes after her siblings," Roman observed, watching Grace firmly reject Maya's suggestion of purple balloons in favor of what she insisted must be "ocean blue, like Papa's boat.""I want the boat cake this year," Grace announced, settling the theme debate with the particular authority four-year-olds sometimes managed to summon. "Not dragon, not mermaid. Boat. Like Leo's ships.""That's a lovely tradition to establish," Vivienne said, genuinely touched by her youngest daughter's evident pride in her older brother's engineering enthusiasm. "I'm sure the bakery can manage a

  • The Billionaires Greatest Regret   CHAPTER 99: WHITFIELD'S HEART

    POV: Vivienne Ashford"Dad collapsed at the office this afternoon," Diane said, her voice tight with barely controlled panic over the phone, reaching Vivienne during what had been an ordinary evening at the estate. "They're running tests now, but the initial assessment suggests it might be his heart. I don't know what to do, Vivienne. I only just got him back, properly, and now I'm terrified I'm about to lose him again in an entirely different way.""Where are you?" Vivienne asked, already reaching for her jacket, Roman looking up with immediate concern at her shifted tone."Saint Catherine's, the cardiac unit," Diane said. "Arthur's on his way now, but I wanted you to know too. I don't know why, exactly, except that you've become genuinely important to me, and I needed someone who understands what real family support actually looks like.""We're coming," Vivienne said firmly. "Roman and I will be there within the hour."They arrived at the hospital to find Diane pacing the waiting ro
