All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

A wicked grin crept across my lips as I stood before the mirror, slipping into something more comfortable. The fabric felt soft against my skin, a welcome change from the day’s formal attire.I strolled down to my father’s residence, my mind filled with several thoughts. Who had the audacity to invade my space?Levi had a spare key to my room, but we had left the office together, so he was out of the equation.Tania would never dare to set foot in the mansion, and Sera... that thought stopped me cold.I remembered catching her rummaging around my things just the other day.“Good day, sir,” I greeted my father as I walked into the dining room, where he sat at the table, lost in his newspaper. He nodded but continued to chew his food, his attention clearly focused on the paper.The silence seemed to stretch on forever. Finally, curiosity got the better of me. “Did you have any visitors today?” I probed, hoping for clarity.He raised an eyebrow, his gaze flicking from the newspaper to me.

Roman’s POV***Keeping things strictly professional with Sera had been the sensible choice, even though I genuinely enjoyed her presence.As I reached out to grab the tape, an unexpected thrill coursed through me, a sensation I hadn’t experienced in far too long, almost like the other day at the garden.I noticed Sera's eyes flicker toward me; the moment grew precarious.Her hand slipped, causing the tapes to tumble down in a messy heap. “Damn it,” I muttered internally, frustration bubbling within. My mind raced with questions about what she must be thinking in that instant.I hurriedly dismissed her, the weight of Levi’s warning lingering heavily on my thoughts. As she exited the room, my gaze drifted to her keychain that lay inside my desk locker, which I had found lying in my apartment. The very idea that she had nudged me toward Zara only deepened my unease.A troubling flash crossed my mind: what if she was Zara's sister, assuming that Zara would never dare to show her face here,

Roman's pov***“Ahhh” …Her scream sliced through the quiet hallway, bouncing off the walls of the office.“Shit,” I whispered to myself. The bright beam of a flashlight met my eyes, blinding me for a moment. I raised my hand to shield my face. Just then, the security guy strutted over.“It’s fine, everything is fine,” I assured him. He nodded and walked away, leaving just the two of us.“I’m sorry, I didn’t expect anyone to be here,” she said, lowering the light and revealing her face.“It’s okay,” I replied, standing right where I was.For a heartbeat, I hesitated at the doorway, unsure if I should step inside.What harm could it do to linger and ask her why she was still hanging around at this hour? I could definitely use a distraction to pull my mind away from the issue I had with my father.“Why are you still here?” I asked, finally crossing the threshold and pulling out a chair across from her. I settled in, watching as she took off her headphones, strands of hair spilling down

Roman’s pov***I left Tania’s place feeling worse than I’d felt before. The drive to her place had seemed like a good idea, a way to release my pent-up anger. But now, as I drove back home, it didn’t seem so right anymore."You can come back to work now," I had told her before leaving her place.“Damn,” I muttered under my breath as I pushed the accelerator a bit harder, eager to escape the thoughts swirling in my mind.The entire day dragged on. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t focus on work. My eyes kept wandering to Sera's office, drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Levi caught me staring during one of the meetings. His eyes narrowed.“She called in sick, man,” he announced, voice low.“I’d leave early to check on her,” he added, catching my silence.The idea of leaving early seemed appealing. I made the decision right then and there, cancelling the evening shoot without offering an explanation. After all, no one dared to question me, not even Levi, who seemed to now be preocc

Zara’s pov***“How did you???” I started, my voice trailing off, caught in a mix of confusion. Roman stood tall, his figure casting a large shadow that felt almost suffocating. The unmistakable scent of his new rugged cologne surrounded me, enveloping me in a haze. I struggled to keep my feet beneath me, as my legs started to fail me.“What we had is over, whatever that was,” he said, the coldness in his tone sending a chill down my spine.He stepped closer, his piercing eyes flashing with anger that sent a jolt through me. “You come in here pretending to be the victim when you’re just a manipulative bitch. I have nothing else to say to you. Leave my office.” His voice boomed, reverberating against the walls and echoing in my ears long after he spoke.“What the hell are you talking about?” I muttered under my breath, bewildered.“How did you…” I tried to ask again, but the words felt stuck in my throat.“Leave my office!” he roared, the command crashing into me, leaving no room for ar
