The Billionaires Greatest Regret CHAPTER 105: THREE PATHS
POV: Vivienne Ashford"Leo's asked to skip ahead a grade in his mathematics and science courses," the school's headmaster explained during a parent conference that had been called specifically to discuss this unusual request, Roman and Vivienne exchanging surprised glances at this development. "His performance has consistently exceeded grade level expectations, and his teachers believe he's genuinely capable of handling the accelerated coursework, though we wanted your input before finalizing any decision.""What does Leo himself think about this?" Vivienne asked, genuinely curious about her son's own perspective on such a significant academic shift."He's expressed considerable enthusiasm," the headmaster confirmed. "Though I want to note, socially, this would place him alongside students considerably older, which occasionally creates complications beyond the purely academic considerations."That evening, Vivienne and Roman discussed the proposal directly with Leo, wanting to ensure
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
