All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Regret: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Home.The word carried a different meaning now.As Daniel stepped into his apartment and quietly shut the door behind him, the familiar silence greeted him like an old friend. The trip had been exhausting, but beneath the fatigue was an excitement he hadn’t felt in years. Every mile he’d traveled had brought him closer to one person.Amelia.He dropped his duffel bag by the couch and stretched, his back protesting from hours of traveling. His apartment looked exactly as he’d left it—tidy, organized, untouched. Usually, returning home after a trip came with a sense of relief. Today, it felt more like a brief stop along the way.His eyes landed on the clock.Still early enough.Daniel loosened his tie as he walked toward the bedroom. “First things first,” he muttered to himself.A hot shower washed away the dust of travel, the warm water easing the stiffness from his shoulders. As steam filled the bathroom, he couldn’t help smiling.In just a little while, he’d see her again.Not throug

Daniel couldn’t stop smiling as he walked beside Amelia toward the parking garage beneath Hart Corporation.Even now, after holding her in his arms just minutes ago, it still didn’t feel real.Days.Days of calls, stolen late-night conversations across time zones, and counting down till the day until they could finally be together again.And now she was here.Close enough for him to reach out and intertwine their fingers.She glanced at him, amusement dancing in her eyes.“You’ve been smiling ever since you saw me.“Can you blame me?”She laughed, the sound easing something deep inside his chest.“Not really.”He opened the passenger door for her before walking around to the driver’s side.“Where are we going?” she asked once they were inside.Daniel started the engine with a mysterious smile.“It’s a surprise.”Amelia eyed him suspiciously before fastening her seatbelt.“You’re enjoying this far too much.”Daniel chuckled as he eased the car out of the parking garage.“Maybe.”“You’r

Daniel had imagined this moment countless times.In some versions, Amelia smiled before he even finished speaking.In others, she walked away.The worst ones ended with her looking at him as though he were a complete stranger.Now, sitting beside her in the quiet car parked beneath the shade of old trees, there was no escaping it.She deserved the truth.Every part of it.He drew in a slow breath.“My parents knew yours long before either of us understood what friendship meant.”Amelia’s brows knitted together, but she remained silent.“My father and your father built their companies around the same time. They weren’t competitors then. They were friends. Real friends.”Daniel smiled faintly.“I was only a little boy when my parents first brought me to your house.”His eyes drifted to the windshield, though what he saw wasn’t the road.It was the past.“You were even smaller.”“A tiny girl with messy hair tied into two uneven ponytails”.“You kept insisting I play tea party with you.”

Amelia rested her head against the passenger seat, quietly watching the city pass by through the window.Everything that had happened over the last hour felt almost surreal.Daniel had just bared his heart to her.Completely.Without holding anything back.Every fear.Every memory.Every reason he had loved her for all these years.She closed her eyes for a moment.No man would willingly expose himself the way Daniel had.Some people carried secrets like those to their graves, choosing to live with the weight rather than risk rejection.Yet Daniel had entrusted every one of those secrets to her.He hadn’t hidden behind excuses.He hadn’t tried to make himself look better.He had simply told her the truth.The whole truth.And the entire time he had been speaking, she had seen it.The fear in his eyes.The slight tremble in his voice.The uncertainty behind every pause.For perhaps the first time since she’d known him, Daniel Carter hadn’t looked like the confident billionaire who coul

Amelia climbed the staircase with the clean towel Daniel had handed her draped over one arm.With every step, she felt two emotions battling inside her.Happiness…And embarrassment.How had she managed to spill sauce all over herself?And in front of Daniel, of all people.She covered her face with one hand and groaned softly.“Nice one, Amelia.”A smile tugged at her lips despite herself.Thankfully, Daniel had never given her the chance to wallow in her embarrassment. Instead of laughing or teasing her, he’d immediately asked if she was alright and offered her a shower and a change of clothes.It was such a Daniel thing to do.Kind.Gentle.Thoughtful.Before she knew it, she was standing in front of the bedroom with the blue door frame.“So this is his room…”She slowly pushed the door open.The first thing that greeted her wasn’t the luxurious furnishings.It was the scent.Fresh.Clean.Warm.It smelled exactly like Daniel.She smiled to herself.Unlike many bedrooms she’d seen
