Semua Bab THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Romans pov***I heard the key drop to the ground, and my eyes went up; there she was, Zara.“Zara…” I called out, but she was gone.I wasn’t going to chase after her; she had struck me where it hurt the most, she knew how much the contract meant to me, and she leaked it out.Tania’s eyes lit up as she raised her head to look at me. "Continue,” I said to her coldly. The documents mysteriously appeared on my desk the morning after losing the contract, and I couldn’t believe it at first, but after much research, I had more proof that she had truly leaked the blueprintsNothing she could say was going to make me forgive her. I regretted raising her to the top, she was just a lowly assistant who I thought wouldn’t be greedy. But I was wrong, she was after my failure.I should have listened to Levi's warnings.Zara’s pov***I was never going to forget the sight in front of me. I sobbed as I drove away, unable to erase the image of Roman, who seemed to be enjoying the pleasure from the lad

Roman’s pov***“Victoria,” I screamed upon reaching my office, my frustration evident. She was the 5th assistant in 3 years.“Sir Roman,” she came in like a mouse about to be squashed by a cat.“Where is the Wellingtons folder?” I asked her in annoyance.“Sir, I didn’t...”“You didn’t do what? for goodness' sake, Victoria, nobody forgets to do their job,” I replied, feeling utterly helpless.“Get out,” I yelled at her, and she ran off.Since Zee, everything had been a mess; they couldn’t just fit in, either they scrambled in fear or they fled at the sight of the overwhelming workload.It's been 3 years since Zara disappeared after betraying me. I searched for her for a year before deciding to cut my losses, she could stay lost for eternity for all I cared. Women were really never my thing; Zara was only… the door opened.“I asked you to leave!” I thundered at the door without looking up.“Wo… wo… calm down,” it was Levi.“My assistant keeps making mistakes, you should fire her immedia

Chapter six: Roman’s pov***She turned…“Hi,” she said with a bright smile on her face, but this wasn’t Zara; the woman who stood in front of me was nothing like her. This was a confident and composed young lady in her black gown that clung to her body. “I'm Sera Quinn,” she said while stretching out her hand for a handshake. “And you are Roman, Roman Vale, my new boss,” she continued. I stared down at her hand but didn't shake it.“I thought you were someone else,” I replied and turned my back on her.I needed air. I walked outside the terrace to revisit what I had just seen, the soft hum of the party behind me. I took a sip of my drink, and Tania came out to join me.“Hey handsome,” she said, touching my back with her fingertips I gazed at her like she was nothing, and she quickly removed her hand.“Don’t you dare touch me again,” I glared at her“I'm sorry,” she stammered.“What do you want?” I asked her, already irritated“Have you seen the new PR specialist?” she asked, trying

Romans pov***My day had gone from bad to worse, and yet Levi kept me waiting. I checked my watch for what seemed like the hundredth time, and almost stood up to leave the restaurant when Levi came in.“Sorry, I’m...” he started, but I cut him off.“Where the hell have you been? you said 2 pm and you are never late,” I snapped. Just as I was ranting, I saw the PR specialist by his side.“What is she doing here?” I asked Levi, deliberately not turning to look at her.“Oh, Levi invited me for lunch, I thought it would be a good opportunity to know my boss better,” she replied instead. I hated her gut. I looked at Levi, my irritation palpable.“Come on, man, she also wants to apologize for this morning,” Levi offered.I sighed, thinking of how worse my day could go while they sat down“So Roman...” she started, but I cut her off sharply.“Sir Roman, to you, it's Sir Roman,” I corrected, wanting to emphasize my point.“Cut her some slacks, man,” Levi added, trying to reduce the tension.“

Roman’s pov***As I mentioned earlier, the day couldn’t get any worse. Now I was en route to visit the man whom I called my dad, but who had seldom been there for me.Over the years, it became easier to cope with his absence, but it could never really erase the anger I felt for him. I resented him for pushing my mum away, I resented him for not taking up his duties as my father. I resented him for not telling me the real reason behind my mother's abandonment.Still, somewhere within me, I knew he was ultimately the cause of my turmoil.“He’s going to be alright,” Levi said, reassuring me. He was in the car with me, rarely leaving my side. We had become close since college. our friendship had sparked at the bar, I didn’t know he was studying law, he was carefree for someone in such a serious profession.Over time, I saw him reading these law books, and it made me laugh at the contrast. I was grateful he was always there.“I know so,” I replied, “I wish he’d just go anyway.” The thought
