Semua Bab Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!: Bab 211 - Bab 220

KATHERINE’S POV I woke up without being hit by the sunlight peeking through the window and that was when I realized something was up.That almost never happens, not when I’ve been emotionally exhausted for days but my eyes snapped open like someone had shaken…no, jolted me awake. The room was dim and quiet, painted in that soft bluish gray that comes right before dawn. For a second, I didn’t move, I couldn't. My head was still fuzzy and I glanced around the room, trying to get a better understanding of my bearings.Instinctively, I reached out for Alex but his side of the bed was empty. Cold…almost as if he didn't sleep on the same bed with me last night.My heart tugged painfully but I knew I'd be getting ahead of myself if I simply assumed that he chose to stay out.He’d come home late last night. I remembered that I wasn’t fully asleep when I heard the door, the soft thud of his footsteps, then the quiet weight of him sitting on the edge of the bed.He must’ve thought I was aslee

KATHERINE POV I half expected her to ignore my question and continue with the analysis she was doing but she simply shook her head and dropped the file she was holding on her lap.“Are you okay, Katherine?”I blinked, taken aback by that question asked with the most serious look I've ever seen on Hazel's face.It was also a look similar to the one Charles gave me.“I.. I'm fine. Why…?” I forced an awkward laugh, “Why are you asking it like that? You're scaring me.“Nothing… it's just strange. I mean, why would he get pissed when this is obviously about work? You know what…?” She raised her hands, stopping me from saying anything, “Don't. Don't give any excuses. I'll meet with him myself. I'll talk to Charles. Fine?”I nodded feeling grateful that she didn't take this conversation further but at the same time, I couldn't help but get worried about the way both she and Charles acted.Hazel moved on, flipping to another page. “I’ll meet with Charles tomorrow. We have to figure out who

ALEXANDER'S POVI expected him to answer immediately or maybe get mad at me for my reaction but he didn't, instead he stared at me, his eyes searching mine like a lost treasure.The way he stared at me made me feel uncomfortable and I couldn't find what to do with my hands so I placed them in my pockets and glared at him."I'm disappointed, Alex, is that how you talk to your father?"Father.Yeah right.Mr William Blake was nothing compared to the textbook definition of a Father.Yes, he was there for me when I was younger, before the addiction took over and he spent most of his time at a casino or basically anywhere he could gamble away our wealth.He should be grateful that he got discovered quickly and that he didn't bring more damage to our family than the one he already did.Now he was targeting my relationship with Katherine for reasons unknown to me and I must find out what it is."Please don't make me laugh. You're no father. Let's just spare each other the hassle of being hyp

ALEXANDER'S POVHenry was just like Hazel... Both plants in mine and Katherine's life. They were both sent to watch us and give him reports on how we were doing."But I recruited him myself. There's no way you would have known that I was about to hire him. Did you approach him after he started working for me?" I asked, still unable to believe it.He shook his head and then sat down next to me."Alex, I might have messed up but you shouldn't forget that we're father and son. We are similar. I saw him way before you hired him, I knew he'll be the type of person you'd like to work with. Someone disciplined, fun yet logical. I was so happy when you finally chose him."Similar.. Yeah right.I fought so hard not to end up like him, not to be addicted to anything. I made sure that my entertainment was filtered and I gravely avoided casinos and bars with betting spots.It was the main reason why I rejected two business offer this year... because I didn't want to end up like him.Yet he ended

ALEXANDER’S POV Of course.A snake might shed it's skin but it'll always remain what it is… a fucking snake.How silly of me to think that he would ever change? That he would stop being so god-damned selfish?Just because he claimed to have never abandoned me, to care a lot about Katherine, I easily allowed myself to be fooled by him and assume the best of him.I stared at him in shock as he blatantly, no, shamelessly answered me with the same look he'd given me earlier.A “I'm doing this for you” look.The hell he was.“What the hell do you mean by that?” I snarled and he instantly turned all his attention to me.“I can't, Alex.”“Why is that?” Katherine softly asked.I'm surprised that with everything that happened, Katherine was still able to keep her cool. I would have gone berserk by now if I was her and demanded that he testify for me.“Yeah…why is that?” I repeated after her and he sighed heavily as if there was really an explanation for it other than the fact that he was scar
