All Chapters of Betrayed By Ex, Loved By My Billionaire Boss : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Regina's POVEverything felt like a blur of noise and terror.Paulson's grip on me tightened as he waved the syringe like a lunatic. "One move, and this child dies before it even breathes!"Nicholas stood at the doorway, jaw locked, eyes blazing. For a split second, he looked less like a finance tycoon and more like a soldier someone who had seen too much, lost too much, and refused to lose again."Nicholas," I whispered, my body frozen. "Don't.""Put the syringe down," he said calmly. "And we walk away. You can have your escape. Just not her."Paulson's eyes twitched. "Do I look like a man who negotiates?"Then came the shift.A flicker of movement from the side. Mike.Crouched behind a cart, holding a fire extinguisher like a bat..One nod from Nicholas.Go time.Boom! the extinguisher flew, crashing into Paulson's arm. The syringe clattered to the floor.I screamed as chaos erupted. Nicholas lunged.Paulson fought back, kicking, snarling, fists flying. They crashed into the side of

Regina's POV "Then what?"He looked me dead in the eye. "Of failing to protect her. You. Us."I placed his hand over my stomach. "Then don't. Start now.""Are you sure about this?" she asked, watching Gabriel pace.He didn't answer.He simply walked over to her tablet, tapped into a live feed. It was my house.Our bedroom.Nicholas sleeping beside me.Kimberly gasped. "You've been in their home?!"Gabriel smiled coldly. "She's living the life that was meant for me. I don't want to destroy her."He paused."I want her to know how it feels to lose it all."The next envelope came with a single item inside.Hope's name... carved into a piece of wood.Under it, a message:"You took everything from me, Regina. I'll take everything from you. One piece at a time." Nicholas went pale. Julia lost her breath.Mike cursed in five languages. But me? I didn't cry.I burned."We found a safehouse," Jenna said, tossing down photos. "Gabriel's been hiding out in a property registered under a shell co

Regina's POVThe irony wasn't lost on me throwing a baby shower in the middle of a manhunt.But Julia insisted. "Normalcy," she said. "Hope deserves celebration, not constant fear."So we dressed up the garden like a damn dream. Fairy lights, white roses, fancy glassware that screamed we're rich but tasteful. And for once, I wanted to believe everything would be okay.Nicholas stayed glued to my side like a shadow with a heartbeat.He hadn't said much since the sonogram arrived.Neither had I. What could we say?Gabriel was threatening our unborn child, and neither of us had any idea how far he'd go.Mike and Jenna arrived first, holding hands like they weren't definitely in love but too stubborn to admit it. Jenna had ditched her usual all-black for a lemon-yellow jumpsuit that made her look like walking sunshine."I brought a taser disguised as a compact mirror," she whispered, hugging me."You're my kind of girl."Next came Julia, in full proud-grandma mode, holding an antique gift

Regina's POVI didn't remember writing that diary page.But as I held it in my hands, yellowed, torn, stained with something like soot I felt everything.The smoke, The screams. The whole lullaby."I didn't know you kept anything from that place," I said, voice hollow.Julia's lips trembled as she sat beside me. "I didn't. This... this arrived at my house yesterday. No sender. No camera caught who delivered it."It didn't matter. I already knew.Gabriel.He was peeling back my past like it was an onion one layer at a time. And this one stung."What else do you remember?" Nicholas asked gently, crouching near the couch.I shook my head, pressing the diary page to my chest."Just shadows. A burning curtain. A scream that wasn't mine."We drove to the orphanage the next day.It was still standing Somehow.Run-down, rusted gates, the kind of place you'd expect to see in a documentary titled "Places the System Forgot."I hadn't been here in over twenty years.The director, Madam Greeves wa

Betrayal Regina's POVKimberly. Of course it was her.If there was ever a snake in red lipstick who couldn't stay buried, it was my former best friend turned ex-fiancé stealer turned certified lunatic.She was supposed to be in jail."How did she get out?" I asked, holding the printed security photo with shaking hands.Jenna scoffed. "Apparently she served her time. Three years for identity fraud and false claims. But she got out two weeks early for 'good behavior.'"Mike snorted. "Good behavior my ass. She's already back to signing shady contracts in back alleys with walking trauma like Gabriel."Nicholas stepped forward, eyes narrowing at the image."That's not just any contract."I raised an eyebrow. "You recognize it?""Yes. That's a Keepers-backed proxy trust. Which means..." He swallowed. "Someone's trying to replace you."I felt the blood drain from my face."Replace me? With Kimberly?""She's claiming your place as Julia's heir. As Michael's child. As... you."It hit me then
