All Chapters of The Billionaire Who Regretted Losing Me: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The photograph had been the first warning. The email was the second. But the call, the one that came exactly at midnight made it real.Serena’s phone vibrated sharply against the nightstand. She glanced at the screen.Unknown Number Her thumb hovered, then she answered.“Hello?” Her voice was calm, controlled.“Serena Blake.” The voice was smooth, deliberate, familiar. “Do you enjoy the game?”Her stomach clenched. “Who is this?”A low chuckle came through. “Someone who knows exactly how much you care about your child.”Serena’s heart rate stayed steady. Her hand tightened around the phone. “Leave my son alone.”“Oh, I won’t touch him… yet.” The voice paused, almost savoring the fear. “But every move you make, every glance at him, is being watched.”Serena hung up. Immediately, she called Ethan.He answered on the second ring. “What happened?”“They know,” she said quietly. “They’ve been observing Leo. They know our routines. And they just confirmed it personally.”“Do you know who it

Serena paced her office, eyes scanning the monitors and logs one more time. The source was identified, a former ally who had once promised loyalty, now exploiting insider knowledge for unknown motives.“This ends tonight,” she muttered, tone steady, voice cold.Ethan stepped in quietly, presence calm but unyielding. “We’ll handle it. Quietly. Professionally. No mistakes.”She nodded. “We need a controlled environment. No surprises. And Leo stays completely out of it.”“Agreed,” he said. “No exposure.”By early evening, Serena and Ethan had orchestrated a digital trap. Fake security alerts, phantom camera feeds, and carefully planted breadcrumbs on network logs. Whoever was behind this would think they had the upper hand, that Serena’s defenses were ordinary.Ethan monitored the perimeter from a nearby building while Serena remained in the apartment, poised and alert. The city outside buzzed unknowingly as they waited. Minutes passed. Then, finally, a figure appeared on one of the secu

The city was quiet, but Serena’s mind was anything but. The warehouse confrontation had given them the face behind the threat, but the network, the web of accomplices, hackers, and informants remained.“Every contact, every access point, every digital breadcrumb,” Serena said, pacing her office. “We need to neutralize it all. Quietly.”Ethan leaned against the desk, arms crossed. “I’ve already traced several key nodes. Some are easy to cut off, others require finesse.”Serena’s eyes gleamed. “Good. Let’s start with the obvious.”They split the tasks efficiently: Serena worked on tracing and shutting down digital channels, Ethan coordinated security and surveillance measures. Their approach was meticulous, almost surgical.“You’ve become ruthless,” Ethan said quietly, a faint smile tugging at his lips.“Protecting Leo isn’t ruthlessness,” Serena replied sharply. “It’s necessity.”Ethan nodded. “I know. I just didn’t expect this level of precision.”Hours passed. Each click, each trace,

The city had settled into a deceptive calm. Leo laughed in the morning sunlight, backpack bouncing as he skipped to school. Serena watched him from the window, coffee in hand, heart light but vigilant. She knew better than to trust the calm.Ethan arrived quietly, leaning against the doorway.“You’re thinking too much,” he said softly.“Am I?” Serena replied, eyes narrowing slightly. “Or am I thinking just enough?”He smirked faintly. “Just enough to drive yourself insane.”Serena didn’t answer. She had already noticed anomalies: small digital footprints, surveillance gaps that didn’t exist before, unfamiliar faces lingering near school entrances. Nothing overt. Nothing threatening enough to panic over. But enough to stir suspicion.“Something’s moving again,” she murmured.Ethan’s expression darkened. “Subtle. Careful. Like a cat testing its prey.”Serena nodded. “Exactly.”Throughout the day, subtle signs emerged. A car parked too long at the corner of the street. A man who lingered

The city had returned to its usual rhythm, but Serena’s mind was anything but calm. The near-miss earlier in the day confirmed what she had suspected: someone was watching Leo again. Someone subtle, patient, and intelligent enough to probe their defenses without revealing themselves. And now, Serena intended to turn the tables.Ethan arrived at her apartment just as Serena finished reviewing the day’s surveillance logs.“They’ll make a move soon,” she said, her voice measured. “We need to be ready.”Ethan nodded. “I’ve already analyzed the most likely spots they’ll attempt another approach. We can anticipate and contain without putting Leo at risk.”Serena’s fingers danced over the keyboard. “Good. Let’s manipulate the environment, guide them into the position we want, and close the trap before they even realize it.”The plan was precise. Every route Leo took would now be monitored by hidden cameras, strategically placed guards, and subtle decoys. False digital footprints were left on
