Daniel's POVI tightened my fists under the table as those words left my mouth. I gazed into Regina's eyes, and my heart sank as I saw the hurt and pain reflected at me. I knew that my words had opened old wounds, and I could sense the weight of her emotions bearing down on her.I remembered the way she had looked at me, with a mixture of sadness and accusation, as if I had failed her in some fundamental way. The disbelief on her face but I had to force myself to believe that it was the best choice to make her realize her mistake.But I also knew that I wasn't entirely to blame. Regina hadn't given the documents to Williams willingly; he had taken them by force, leaving her battered and bruised. I felt a surge of anger and self-loathing, knowing that I hadn't been able to protect her, that I had failed to keep her safe.And yet, despite all of this, I couldn't shake the feeling that Regina had never truly considered me important. That she had never reached out to me, never tried to co

Regina's POV “What did you find?” I asked, looking at the security guard standing in front of me with his head slightly down. He nodded and finally gave me everything in detail. “This contains all his dealings, including his activities so far. The man had been watchful, and it was really difficult to gather so much evidence against him, but we managed to find some that might be useful or can earn a meeting with him,” the guard passed a file in a brown envelope to me. I grabbed it with a frown, but when I opened the file, I saw photos inside. Somewhere during his meetings with people who looked untrustworthy. He seemed very cautious in the photo, almost as if he were making sure no one was present. “The men in those photos were known to be associated with Mafias. Whatever his business with him was, I believe it's something you can pin on him.” Although he was sharp, he wasn't as experienced as Peter who assigned him to me. But I believed Peter's judgement.I sat in stunned silence

Regina's POV I walked into the conference room, my heels clicking on the polished floor. I was greeted by the familiar faces of the board members, all of whom were already seated and waiting for me.Taking my seat at the head of the table, my eyes scanning the room as I asked, "So, what's the update? What have we got to discuss today?"I had been looking forward to this meeting all morning, eager to dive into the latest developments and make some key decisions. But my mind kept wandering back to Williams and the fact that he hadn't come forward with a confession yet.I had given him a clear ultimatum, and I expected him to comply. But so far, I hadn't heard a peep from him. And to make matters worse, I hadn't received any word from Daniel about passing the project to him either.Pushing the thoughts aside, focusing on the task at hand. I had a meeting to lead, and I needed to stay sharp. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, that Williams was planning somethin

Regina's POV I gently placed Ryan in his crib, making sure he was secure and comfortable before I made my way downstairs. The commotion was getting louder, and I could tell that Vivian had arrived. I had been expecting her, courtesy of a heads-up from our security team.A sly smile spread across my face as I thought about the surprise that awaited Vivian. She was under the impression that Derek was still here, and I couldn't wait to see her reaction when she realized he was gone.As I descended the stairs, Vivian's voice grew louder, her words becoming more urgent and shrill. "Derek, come out here! I know you're hiding from me!" she shouted.I reached the bottom of the stairs and paused for a moment, savoring the anticipation. Vivian was in for a rude awakening, and I was eager to see her reaction. With a calm and collected demeanor, I was ready to face Vivian and deliver the news that would surely leave her reeling.I cleared my throat, announcing my presence, and Vivian's eyes snap

Regina's POV I gritted my teeth as I stared at my phone, my eyes fixed on the time displayed on the screen. Who calls someone at this hour? And to make matters worse, Daniel sounded drunk. I could hear the slurring of his words, the hesitation in his speech. It was infuriating.A part of me, the part that didn't care about him, was telling me to ignore him. To just forget that he called and go to bed. But another part of me, a part that I didn't want to acknowledge, was urging me to go to him. To see if he was okay, to make sure he got home safely.I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. Why was I even considering going to him? He was a grown man, capable of taking care of himself. And besides, how did he even get my number? I hadn't given it to him, that was for sure.I sighed, feeling a mix of frustration and annoyance. I decided to ignore him and go to bed. I didn't need this kind of drama in my life, especially not from someone like Daniel. I turned off my phone and settled
