I thought I had it all. I thought I’d finally cracked the code. I thought my mom was wrong when she said all men are the same-that all men are scum and will leave you without notice. Well, the saying “Mama knows best…” I learned it the hard way. Because indeed, Mama knows best. I should’ve listened when she warned me. I should’ve been more cautious. After two years of marriage, Nate decided he didn’t want me anymore, and I don’t even deserve to know why. That night, he took everything from me. He turned everyone against me. And just when I thought life was going back to normal, when I was finally picking up the broken pieces, he comes knocking. “I’m sorry, Elara. I want you back. Please, come back to me,” Nate pleads. “I will do whatever you want me to do.”

The Billionaire’s Regret 199: BONUS TIP
NATE’S POV The door slammed shut with Elara screaming at Dave. I knew she’d be pissed — but I couldn’t let her stay in this room any longer. Not with men like this. Not when she’s been attacked twice. Another swing came for me. I dodged. It was the same green-eyed bastard who started this mess — the one who thought he could speak to her like that. The one Elara humiliated before I could even react. When he lunged at her, he signed his damn sentence. I caught his arm mid-air and twisted it behind his back. My ears were burning red hot. Rage had already taken me. “You thought you could touch my woman and walk out of here breathing?” I growled, my fist colliding with his jaw. He stumbled, but I didn’t stop. Another punch. Then another. I felt something crack. Even as a gunshot rang out in the distance, I didn’t flinch. My vision was already dark. “Enough, man!” Angelo barked, trying to drag me off. I slammed my fist into the guy again. “Your buddies forget to teach you man

ELARA’S POV As much as I hated how Nate had his secretary yank me out of the room, I couldn’t stop wondering if he was okay. I knew he did it for my safety. But how he did it… that was what stung. The moment I stepped back onto the main floor of the club, the bass slammed into my chest. Lights flickered. Bodies swayed. Laughter buzzed beneath the pounding music. It was surreal… like walking out of a battlefield and straight into someone’s birthday party. I found a stool tucked into the far corner of the bar and sat down, trying to fold myself away from the chaos. The bartender ignored me until I tapped twice! hard against the counter. Only then did he wander over. I didn’t even want a drink. I couldn’t handle one right now. But I still ordered something just to give my hands something to do. Minutes passed. My leg bounced under the counter. My fingers twisted in my lap. Every few seconds, my eyes flicked toward the hallway, waiting, hoping… to see Nate come stumbling

ELARA’S POV A woman lunges at me one of the half-naked ones, eyes wild, probably high. I duck, barely missing her nails. She comes again. I elbow her off, and fuck! the satisfaction that rushes through me is almost disturbing. Another one tries to grab my hair, but Nate’s already there, yanking her back by the wrist. My heart is pounding like it’s going to explode out of my chest. My eyes fall on a pair of green ones discreetly trying to slip into another room and an idea lights up in my head. With slightly shaky hands, I grab the nearest object to use as a weapon. The whole room looks like a mess Angelo, Nate, and Dave are all tackling people. And it’s all green eyes’ fault! I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but I have the urge to knock some sense into him. If only he took what I said like a man the way I had to but no! Men like him with mommy issues never listen. They can’t function without being babied. As much as I want to feel bad for being a catalyst to th

ELARA’S POV“Angelo Valestilo,” Angelo says coolly, flicking a gold coin toward the guard. “We want to speak with the Librarian.”The man catches the coin, glances at it, then grunts. “Magic word accepted.”A metal detector beeps weakly as we pass. I doubt it could detect a bazooka, let alone a knife. Nate’s hand stays firm on my lower back, silent, steady. As we step into the hallway, it feels more like a tunnel tight and damp. My heels echo in a rhythm that sets my nerves on edge.We stop before a thick mahogany door.“This is going to be simple,” Angelo says, looking Nate dead in the eye. “We go in, get the answers, and walk out. No drama. No blood. Civilized. Understood?”Blood?My stomach churns. I know things are getting dangerous, but… can it really get that bad?“Nate?” Angelo raises a brow.Nate’s jaw tightens like he wants to argue. But then, he nods. “Understood.”“Good.” Angelo pushes open the door.The room is nothing like I expected. When they said librarian, I imagined

ELARA’S POVOne last glance in the full-length mirror, I smoothed down the black silk dress hugging my frame like it had been sewn on. My hair fell in soft waves down my back, glossy and freshly blown out. I hadn’t meant to go overboard but after being cooped up in this house for what felt like years, I needed to feel like myself again.Ten minutes to get ready wasn’t nearly enough, but here I was dressed like I owned the damn night.Not for him, I reminded myself. For me.We are going downtown if that place has anything apart from the illegal activities. Its powerful people also frequent that place. My mother used to say, “If you want the room to respect you, dress like you already run it.”As I stepped out of the bedroom and descended the stairs, the sound of my heels echoed through the silence.Click. Click. Click.Nate was pacing by the front window, arms crossed, tension stiff in his shoulders. He turned at the sound, eyes falling on me and stopped dead.His mouth opened like h

ELARA’S POV I didn’t sleep. Not even a little. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt it again, his arms wrapped around me, his chest against mine, the weight of what almost happened. The heat of what nearly crossed a line. I told myself I was over him. That I was here for my safety, nothing more. But my body hadn’t gotten the message. So I didn’t lie still. I scrubbed the bathroom tiles at four in the morning. Sketched and trashed three new layout ideas. Organized the guest room closet until my fingers hurt. Because if I stopped moving, I’d have to feel. And I wasn’t ready for that. By the time morning light slipped through the blinds, I was dressed, face washed, and halfway to the kitchen pretending to be normal. Pretending that last night didn’t rattle something deep inside me. The house was quiet. Too quiet. Mila meowed once, brushing against my legs as I walked past her new favorite perch near the window. I gave her a soft stroke behind the ears before stepping out onto
