บททั้งหมดของ His Regret, Rise Of The Boss Lady : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Kai’s POVSomething felt off the moment Megan asked me to come over.She tried to sound normal on the phone, but I knew her better than that. Megan doesn’t just call without a reason. And she definitely doesn’t ask for time to “talk” unless something is bothering her deeply.I barely slept that night. My mind kept running in circles, thinking of all the reasons she could be worried. The kids. Her father. Joe. Any one of them could bring trouble, and Megan had been standing on thin ground for a while now.I kept replaying the phone call in my head. The way she hesitated, the small pauses, the rushed tone—it all told me something wasn’t right. She always hides things. Always. And I hate that I have to figure out what on my own.So I came early.Too early, maybe. But I couldn’t sit still knowing she was troubled and alone. I parked a little distance away, checking my phone for messages I hadn’t received, pacing around the car. Sleep felt impossible.When I arrived, the house was quiet. T

Joe’s POVI had already won.That was the simple truth, no matter how anyone tried to twist it or pretend otherwise.Everything was falling into place exactly the way Carl said it would. The clan elders were already leaning in my favour. Old videos of Megan defending me were already secured. Blogs had been cleaned. Records wiped. History rewritten.People always say the past never stays buried.They’re wrong.With enough money, enough influence, and the right people pulling strings behind the curtain, even the past could be reshaped.Carl sat across from me, relaxed, legs crossed, coffee in hand, looking like a man who already knew the outcome of a game long before it finished.“So,” he said casually, eyes glinting with amusement, “the thought of having Megan back in your arms again… thrilling, right?”I smirked.Thrilling wasn’t even the word.It felt like reclaiming something that had always belonged to me. Something that was stolen. Something that dared to forget where it came from

Megan’s POV“Are they sound asleep now?” I asked Kathie absentmindedly as soon as I heard her footsteps in the living room.The house was quiet now—too quiet. I sat stiffly on the couch, my elbows resting on my knees, fingers intertwined.The thought of losing to Joe was not as frightening as the thought of him taking my boys from me.That fear alone was enough to keep my mind in a haze Victoria Hale had given me leverage—real leverage. Proof that I had been sick and tired of my marriage to Joe long before I left. Proof that I didn’t wake up one day and decide to destroy my home out of spite. I had left because I was unhappy. Because I was broken. Because I wanted out.Still, fear didn’t disappear just because logic existed.Kathie answered faintly, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Yes, ma’am. They’re sound asleep.”I didn’t turn to look at her.Maybe my mind was drifting too far from reality. Or maybe I just didn’t want to face anyone at that moment. I had taken the boys out to the p

Megan’s POVBy the time everyone had finally settled into their seats, my mind had already run a marathon and crawled back broken.I couldn’t breathe properly.The council chamber had gone completely silent, but it wasn’t peaceful.This place wasn’t a courtroom. It was a lion’s den.All of them were waiting. Waiting for someone to fall. Waiting to devour.I slowly looked around the dim hall, my eyes dragging across the ancient walls. Stone carvings lined them, deep and rough, etched with symbols of old power and older bloodshed. Names of men who once ruled, men who had judged others and walked away untouched. This chamber had witnessed countless verdicts, countless punishments, countless lives destroyed with nothing but a word.I wondered how many women had walked into this place hopeful and walked out shattered.Kathie sat beside me, her hand still wrapped tightly around mine. Her grip was firm, grounding, like she was afraid I might disappear if she let go. I was grateful for her pr

Megan’s POVThe chamber froze in shock.Every sound died the moment Kai walked into the room, his presence cutting through the room like a poison. Guards followed behind him in perfect formation, alert and ready, and right at his side was his right-hand man, Anton, holding a black leather suitcase tightly in his grip.For a second, I thought I was imagining things.“Kai…” my voice escaped me before I could stop it.I was equally shocked to find him here.How did he know?How did he even get inside a summon like this?“Let a single strand of her hair be touched,” Kai said coldly, his voice carrying across the chamber, “and this council will regret it.”The threat was laced with a calmness that made it terrifying.A few elders shot to their feet in anger, slamming their hands on the table.“This is an insult!”“Who dares speak like this here?”“Remove him at once!”Flavio De’Flavio slowly leaned forward in his seat, his sharp eyes fixed on Kai.“Who is this man?” he grunted, his tone he
