Semua Bab Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!: Bab 201 - Bab 210

KATHERINE'S POV I need to do something about this. Those words echoed in my head the minute Alexander walked out on me but I just couldn't come up with what exactly to do. If someone like Alex who was way influential and powerful than I was or ever will be, can't do something about the threats he's receiving then what exactly could I possibly do? But then again, I can't keep letting this happen without doing anything about it. I can't keep letting him suffer for my sake. I've got to find out who's behind it. Who has the power to blackmail Alexander Blake. When I find out who it is, then it'll be easier for me to put an end to this once and for all. Something at the corner of Alex's bed caught my attention and I moved towards it, my heart raced at the thought of finding what was in that package that made Alex go berserk last night on me. But my hopes dashed when I saw that it was nothing but a document containing files with transaction from his company. It was peeking out of

ALEXANDER'S POV The door slammed behind me, the echo bouncing off the walls of the living room. My chest heaved, a mix of anger, frustration, and that familiar protective instinct igniting like wildfire. Charles wasn’t supposed to be here, not now, not like this. Not when everything was already teetering on the edge. “Katherine…” I started, my voice low, but she cut me off, stepping closer, her eyes wide with fear and pleading. “Alex, wait…please,” she said. I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady myself. My mind was a whirlwind…Clara’s threats, the documents , Franklin’s innocence, and now Charles barging in, apparently knowing something I didn’t want exposed. I couldn’t breathe. Not fully. “Katherine, this isn’t safe,” I said, my voice tense. “I need you to stay here. Calm down. Just…stay.” Her hands twitched at her sides, but she didn’t move. She knew I wasn’t kidding. She could feel it. I stepped toward the window, pulling the blinds slightly to glance outside. The af

KATHERINE'S POV “What???” I exclaimed in surprise at Hazel's words. She remained silent and then stared at me with pleading eyes. I could tell that she assumes I'm mad at her because of her forwardness. But I wasn't exactly mad at her. With the current situation on ground, accepting help from Alex was the only way we could win the legal battle against Clara. I was only pissed that she accepted the offer from Henry… meaning Alex himself wasn't aware of the offer. “Heyy… don't get mad. Katherine, I understand that you want to handle things your way but at this point we really need his help. I did my research according to what I heard from Henry about them . Alex's legal team is really good…they're almost unmatchable.” I sighed and ran my hands through my hair, “But did this offer come from Alex himself? Because I would have known if he had any plans to help us with his legal team.” “Of…course…I mean he has to be aware. Maybe he was just worried that you might not accept

ALEXANDER'S POV Henry was already downstairs waiting for me after I texted him about Katherine fainting and also what what Charles probably might have said to Katherine. He was leaning against the car, staring at his foot and deeply lost in thoughts when I came out of the house and saw him. “Find out where that bastard lives,” I ordered as I got closer to the car but he didn't seem to hear or notice me until I nudged him. “Hey…” “Oh, Alex…you're here. Sorry, I was…” “Distracted. I can see that. Let's go, we'll talk about what's occupying your mind on the way.” He smiled, one that didn't quite reach his eyes and then opened the car door for me. I got into the car and it wasn't until after we pulled away from the house that I finally repeated what I'd asked him to do earlier. “Why do you think he's the one who made Katherine suspicious of you?” He asked, his attention on the road. “Because it was only after he came that Katherine started asking those questions. Besides, I can

ALEXANDER’S POV The moment Charles said the name, something inside me snapped, not with anger, but with a cold, sickening realization that crawled down my spine like ice water. I didn’t say a word. I couldn’t. The room felt smaller, the air thicker. For a moment, I couldn’t even hear Henry or Charles breathing; everything was muted under the weight of that truth. No… No. There was no way. Why? What reason could they possibly have? What were they trying to gain? I didn’t trust myself to speak. If I opened my mouth, I wasn’t sure what would come out… rage, confusion, or something much darker. So I simply stood up. Charles watched me, his eyes lingering, almost studying the way the revelation landed on me. Henry called my name, quietly, like I was a detonating bomb he wasn’t sure he wanted to touch. But I walked out. I needed air. Space. Distance. I didn’t even wait for Henry to finish saying goodbye to Charles. I just stepped outside the apartment, down the quiet hallwa
