Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets.: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

I stared at her; her looks literally disgusted me. Of all the people I could have run into this morning, it just had to be her.Rose.The woman Ashton cheated on me with. The reason my marriage ended in the first place. And now, here she was, standing right in front of me, arms crossed, as though she was ready to fight me. How dumb can some people actually be???I just exhaled softly. I wasn’t in the mood for any drama, and I felt she wasn’t worth my anger. Not today. Not ever."Well, well, well," Rose sneered as she looked at me with disdain. "Look who’s back in Seattle. I should’ve known you’d come crawling back sooner or later."I forced a smile, though it was anything but friendly. "Crawling? Sweetheart, if that’s how you see it, you need to get your eyes checked. I’m here for work, not for irrelevant people from my past like you."She noticed I was ready to give her back whatever she threw at me today. But guess she felt she could handle me."Oh, come on, Helen. We both know why

"I’m promising you this, Rose," I began, my voice deadly calm. "If Henry ever lays a finger on Jake again, I won’t just be having a friendly chat in the principal’s office. Do you understand me?"Rose scoffed, folding her arms. "Oh, please. You think you scare me, Helen? You’ve always been all bark and no bite."I leaned in slightly, lowering my voice just enough so only she could hear. "Try me."Her smug expression faltered for a second, but she quickly recovered, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "This is ridiculous. Henry, get up. We’re leaving."Henry quickly hopped off his chair, clinging to his mother’s side as she grabbed her purse. "Principal, I expect a fair resolution to this. I won’t have Helen trying to turn this into some dramatic scene."I let out a humorless laugh. "Oh, don’t worry, Rose. The scene is just beginning. Because if you don’t teach your son how to behave, I will."She glared at me one last time before strutting out of the office with Henry in tow.I stood

Back at my office, I sat on the leather couch. I tried searching for a pain relief drug from the drawers, but I guess I already exhausted the ones I had stored up.My mind was still in chaos after everything that had happened at the school. I couldn't believe Helen had slapped Rose. I couldn’t believe she stood there, looking me dead in the eye, daring me to do something about it.But right now, that wasn’t even the biggest issue. Ken sat across from me, a thick envelope in his hands. He called me while I was still in school saying he had vital and sensitive information I needed to attend to, so I left school and came to the office.I frowned, my eyes shifting between him and the envelope. “What is this?” I asked, reaching for it.Ken handed it over, leaning forward slightly. “A lot of information on what you asked me to look into.”I tore it open; my hands were shaking and a little bit unsteady as I pulled out the contents. There were printed documents, some handwritten notes, and ev

I actually didn't mean to disturb Helen and her kids, but I was passing by their house, and I decided to just say hi. As I got closer, I noticed something strange—the front door was a little bit open. That wasn’t like her. This was one of the biggest estates in Seattle. How could she have left her door open? Maybe she intentionally left it that way, or maybe she forgot.I pushed the door open a little more and stepped inside. The warm smell of pancakes and eggs filled the air, mixed with the sound of kids making some crazy laughing sounds. I followed the sound to the dining room and saw them all sitting at the table, laughing, eating, completely unaware that I was standing there.It was… cute. I won’t lie. Watching them like this, so happy, made my chest feel tight in a way I didn’t want to think about.“Hey, dickhead.” Helen’s voice brought me back from my thoughts. I turned my head slowly, meeting her eyes as she shone them at me.“I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me?” She sho

At this point, I didn’t know what to think or even do because I was in a damn fix.It was early the next morning. I was back home with my back to the bed, staring at the ceiling like it had all the answers I needed. My mind was a mess. A goddamn mess. How could I have thrown my life away just like that? Six years of pain, six years of being stuck in Rose’s trap, and for what? A drunken mistake? A night I couldn’t even remember? And the worst part? Helen… my Helen… she was gone. Moved on. Raising my kids, your kids, without even telling them who their father was.I sat up, running a hand down my face. My chest felt tight. Like I was suffocating in my own regrets. This was a disaster. No, this was worse than a disaster. This was hell, and I had built it with my own damn hands.My phone buzzed. I snatched it off the nightstand, hoping—hell, praying—it was Helen. But no. Ken’s name flashed on the screen.I let out a breath before answering. “What?”“Are you good, boss?”I rubbed my temp
