Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The cool night, silent and luxurious in the presidential suite.Caitlin Lewis had a black blindfold over her eyes, her small hands tightly gripping the sheets, filled with tension and anxiety.The mattress beside her suddenly sank under a heavy weight pressing down.She could feel the man reaching out, and Caitlin quickly grabbed his wrist.“Don’t look at my face!”The man’s deep, magnetic voice spoke, “Don’t you want to know who you’re giving your first time to?”Caitlin’s heart ached, warm tears spilling out as she shook her head. “I don’t care who you are. You’re my savior, thank you!”She couldn’t let anyone know who she was!If word got out that the eldest daughter of the Lewis family had fallen so low as to sell herself for $200,000, how much ridicule would she face?Giving her most precious self to a stranger, she felt helpless and sorrowful.But she had no choice. Her mother was lying in a hospital bed, waiting for money to save her life.If it weren’t for her father’s coldnes

Jasmine thought she had seen a ghost. She screamed and hid in her mother’s arms. “Ah, it’s a ghost… a ghost, Mom…”“Are you human or a ghost?”Jonathan asked in panic, remembering that after the fire five years ago, a charred corpse had been found in the ashes. They had assumed it was Caitlin, and fearing a police investigation, they hastily cremated and buried the remains.Now, seeing her standing here, everyone was terrified, filled with fear!“She’s not a ghost! Ghosts don’t cast shadows! Is it really Caitlin? Could she still be alive?” Megan exclaimed in shock.“That’s right! I’m Caitlin, and I’m still alive!”Five years ago, Dominic had died in her place!Compared to the wretched and desperate escape she had made five years ago, Caitlin now stood firm, fearless.The past was etched in her memory, filled with lessons learned in blood, all of which had forged her growth.Her heart had hardened, becoming strong and unbreakable!For her mother, for the Jonathan Family, for Dominic, a

The closer she got, the more her heart ached. The pain in her heart didn’t lie.This was her son!Her own flesh and blood!“The little mute is bleeding! He’s bleeding!”“Let’s run!”The two boys who had caused trouble were about to flee, but Caitlin stepped forward, blocking their way, and snapped, “Stop right there!”The two chubby boys froze, staring at Caitlin in surprise. One of them raised his face defiantly and asked, “Who are you? Why are you stopping us?”“Who told you to bully him?” Caitlin pointed to the boy lying on the ground.“We didn’t bully him!” The two chubby boys denied it.“I saw it with my own eyes, and you’re still denying it? Look at him now! Covered in mud, his nose bleeding. You think that wasn’t you?”Caitlin grabbed the two chubby boys by the ears, forcing them to turn and face the boy on the ground.Howard got up from the ground, looking up at the strange woman with wide, curious eyes.The sudden appearance of the woman made him momentarily forget his anger

From Lucy, Caitlin learned more about Howard’s life—details that shocked, angered, and filled her with guilt.Howard had anorexia. He only ate food made by his father, Sebastian, refusing to touch anything prepared by others. Over the past month, with Sebastian in a coma, Howard had been surviving on bread, choosing hunger over eating meals from anyone else unless he was absolutely starving.As for the scars on his body, some were the result of his own mischief, but many came from being bullied by two other boys.Caitlin pieced it together—the two chubby boys she’d encountered earlier were Sebastian’s cousin’s children. They frequently bullied Howard, taking advantage of the fact that he had no mother to protect him. Howard’s inability to speak and his refusal to tattle only emboldened them further.The more Caitlin learned, the deeper the ache in her heart grew, suffocating her with pain.After cleaning Howard and stopping his nosebleed, Caitlin wiped the water off his small body. It

Caitlin decided against escalating the conflict and didn’t resist. The guards quickly restrained her, pinning her arms behind her back.Willa and Xylia grinned triumphantly, finally seeing this woman subdued.“Mother,” Willa declared with satisfaction, “I’ll have her sent to the authorities right away. Let them investigate her thoroughly! If she’s a fraud, we’ll make sure she gets what she deserves!”As Willa signaled for the guards to take Caitlin away, a sudden interruption shocked everyone.Howard, usually distant and aloof, lunged forward and clung tightly to Caitlin’s leg, preventing them from taking her.Although Howard couldn’t speak, his fiery gaze made his feelings clear. He didn’t want them to take his mommy.In his desperation, Howard even jumped up to scratch and bite the guards trying to restrain her. Though the guards winced in pain, none dared retaliate against the young master. Finally, Howard threw himself onto Caitlin’s leg, hugging it as tightly as he could, as thou
