Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 18 - And When the Time Was Right, I’d Take Her by Surprise!
ALEXANDER'S POV Finally Saturday!Forty-eight hours of restless pacing, sleepless nights, and a gnawing anxiety that refuses to let go. The DNA results are due today, and the silence is suffocating me. It was quarter past nine and my feet won't detach from their attachment to the ground as I kept pacing from one place to the other.The fact that I was this close to finding out the truth was one reason why I was a bit bothered but then there's Hazel, Katherine's friend.Her words have refused to leave my head ever since we had that phone call at the hospital.It was all just too strange. Why would she call me all of a sudden? And what was that cryptic message? There's a storm coming??Hell, what does that even mean?What does she mean?I’ve tried calling her back a dozen times, but the number has been disconnected. It’s like she vanished into thin air, leaving behind nothing but questions and a growing sense of unease. Why did she call me in the first place? Somehow I found myself

KATHERINE'S POV I stood at the stairway dressed in my blue gown as I watched the activity that took place below me.My chest swelled with pride as I watched the gallery. The gallery was alive with energy, the kind that buzzed through the air and settled in your chest like a second heartbeat. The room was a symphony of soft murmurs, clinking glasses, and the occasional burst of laughter. The walls, adorned with my latest collection, seemed to glow under the carefully curated lighting.This was it! The day I have been waiting for! The day I prove to the world who I am. Katherine, no longer the dirt drop, no longer just someone seen as merely Alexander's ex-wife.My name will be known after today—not as someone who had a scandal, but as a successful business owner—an artist.I smiled as three people gathered my favorite artwork on the wall and stared at it with admiration.The looks on their faces were exactly what I had expected when I planned this exhibition. I wanted the world to see

ALEXANDER’S POVThe cold night air hit me like a slap as I stepped out of the gallery, my chest heaving and my mind racing. The weight of the stares inside still clung to me, burning hotter than the anger coursing through my veins.Those security guards had hovered like they were debating whether to intervene, but even they knew better. No one would dare put their hands on me. Not even the slightest brush against my suit.Katherine had stood there, watching. Unmoved. Unbothered. As if I were nothing more than an unwelcome disturbance she was waiting to pass.I don’t know if it was the fact that she had let me humiliate myself in front of all those people—or the fact that she didn’t care—that pissed me off more.Jaw clenched, I exhaled sharply, my fists tightening at my sides.This wasn’t over.But beneath all my anger, one thing was clear—her denial of Franklin being my son.That was the spark that fed the fire burning inside me.How could she? How could she look me in the eye and lie

KATHERINE'S POVIt's been two days...two days since the blatant embarrassment Alexander caused me when he walked into the exhibition, asking for Franklin.He should be grateful that I didn't have him arrested for his behavior but of course, he wouldn't. He's Alexander Blake after all.I should have sensed that something like that would have happened, I had a gnawing feeling about it that day but like Hazel said, I shook it away.Why? Because it was literally unexpected.I sighed and leaned further on the swing chair I sat on, overlooking the pool. my hands ran through my hair and I closed my eyes, allowing myself to enjoy the moment, rather than focus on what happened in the past.But deep down, I knew why I was focusing on the past, what happened two days ago. It was because I didn't want to face what was right in front of me.I opened my eyes and stared at, the brown envelope I got this morning, the only significant thing that made all of these look like child's play.Six years...si

ALEXANDER'S POV I wasn't thinking, ever since the meeting with Hazel, I couldn't think straight. Since the day I saw Katherine again at my office, I had always assumed that she was back to get revenge on me for leaving her back then but after what Hazel said, it got me thinking twice.Maybe Katherine really didn't know that I was the CEO of RodaTech, maybe she actually met me by chance.While I can't get over the fact that Hazel threatened me to stay away from Katherine, I still feel like she was right in doing that.After all I broke Katherine's heart and left her all alone for six years.But it was all based on a misunderstanding, the least Katherine could do for me was to grant me access to our son and that was something she swore to never do.But she'll change her mind, she has to. The DNA results were out already, it was already confirmed no matter how long she denies it, Franklin is my son.I stared at the report again for the twentieth time since I got it and smiled.My son.I

KATHERINE'S POV Alexander stood up, his once proud shoulder bent as he walked towards the door. I stared at him feeling everything and nothing at the same time.It could all be a pretense. He was fond of that—trying to play me until he got what he wanted, which was none other than my son, Franklin.If he thinks he could just waltz into our life like he didn't ruin mine some years ago, then he has no idea who he was messing with."Katherine," he called, his hands still on the door. I stared at him, my breath paused for some reason."What is it?""Can you just think about what I said? I seriously just want what's best for Franklin."I laughed, a short snort that was meant to provoke him and as I saw his jaw clenched, I knew immediately that he was pissed."Alex, you seriously shouldn't say something like that. One would think that you're actually his father," I said, mocking him.He stared at me, a shadow falling on his already unreadable expression and he frowned."You saw the DNA tes

KATHERINE'S POV "What??" Hazel asked and I could tell that the news stunned the daylights out of her.I nodded."Yes. Astra was the one who made me go out of the industry six years ago, she was the one who caused that scandal."Her brows furrowed and she frowned."But how? She doesn't have any connection to the media or anything. She also couldn't have been able to edit a photo of yours without your actual picture, right?"That got me thinking and I stared at her, the wheels in my head spinning as I realized what she was trying to point out.She was right—it was strange how she got access to my photos. But then again, she was with Alexander. Maybe she took his phone… or something.Still, how would my pictures even be on Alex’s phone? Of course, he could have them, but… I don’t know.“I don’t think so,” I said, “but according to Alexander, Astra was in contact with a gossip monger—a paparazzo known for spreading rumors. She gave him my photos to leak online.”Hazel's brow raised."Ac

ALEXANDER'S POV I don't know what hurt the most, having evidence that Franklin was my son but still not being able to hold him or the fact that Katherine didn't believe that Astra was the one behind the Scandal that nearly destroyed her life.It was weird and while I understand her point, I could not also believe that she would think that low of me.What did I do to make her think that way?The DNA results stared back at me, mocking me for the failed attempt to get my son back even with concrete evidence and I turned my face away back to the door.It's been almost 48 hours and there was still no trace of Astra yet, Henry came back with nothing, Not even a link to where she might have gone.A part of me was worried because her disappearance might mean further mischief on her part but at the same time, it felt relieving to finally have an apartment free from tantrums, giggling over new bags, and the usual social media chatter she does every night at dinner.I smiled as my gaze fell on

Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 57 — Who Was the Man That Made Katherine Change Everything?
ALEXANDER'S POVI shouldn't be surprised. Why did I assume that something was going to change between us just because we slept together?She must have just been out of her senses, and well, I was also.But even as I tried so hard to pretend like I wasn't that affected by the reaction she gave me, I still couldn't. A part of me hurts, my heart especially."You called for me?" Henry's voice interrupted my thoughts, and I lifted my head up to stare at him.Right now, all I could think of was how to get Katherine, how to discuss with her one on one.Ever since Susan's wedding, she hasn't shown up at work and refused to pick up my calls.It was pretty obvious that something was going on, but she wouldn't tell me what it was; heck, she refused to spare me an audience."Yes, please."He eyed me, his brows raised and that familiar worried look in his eyes.If there was anyone who would understand what I was going through, it was definitely him."You met with her."It was a statement, not a qu
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 56 – My Son or My Ex-Husband?
KATHERINE'S POVI shouldn't have done that. His hurt eyes danced around in my mind, and I tried to push it out.I didn't know how to tell him the truth.That I was not only afraid, but I was also being blackmailed.But it was best that I kept silent about it, at least for both of us and our son's sake.The words that man said to me just before Alexander walked towards me rang in my ears."You're going to ruin your reputation again. This time, it'll be your fault. So choose, Katherine—your six-year-old son or your ex-husband?"I blinked back so hard to fight the tears that threatened to fall off my face as I walked towards my car.Why does this keep happening to us?Anytime I try to get close to Alex, anytime I get the slightest hint that we were going to be able to get back together, something happens.Now, after what happened upstairs, I get blackmailed to leave him alone.The man's face was not familiar, so it was hard to tell if he was a reporter or just someone sent by someone els
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 55 - And What If I Don’t Care About Complicated?
ALEXANDER'S POVI almost choked on my drink at her words, and I turned to face her with widened eyes.I didn't know that she was going to be this direct with what she knows, and that only made me more flustered."What..?" I asked as I used the back of my palm to wipe off the drink that had splattered on my face.She had that amused look on her face, one that showed that she knew and enjoyed what she was doing to me."I asked if Katherine had a good sleep also.""How would I know that? You invited her. Ask her if she did."She smiled."Yeah, right. You really need to be more subtle if you're really going to hide what happened from me."I let out a soft groan.Fuck! The disadvantage of having someone as your twin—you can't hide anything!"How did you know?"She smiled, her eyes dancing with triumph."You've been staring at her since you walked back in. Besides, I noticed when she went in after you. I'm pretty sure Kelvin also noticed it."I raised my brows.If he did, then he definitely
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 54 – This wasn’t supposed to happen
ALEXANDER’S POVKatherine lay beside me, her chest rising and falling, her skin glistening with a thin sheen of sweat. Her eyes were still half-lidded, lips swollen from our kisses, her body wrapped around mine like she never wanted to let go. And damn, I never wanted her to.I could still feel the way her body burned on me, the moans she screamed out as we made out some minutes ago.It was still echoing in my ears.But reality had a cruel way of creeping back in. The muffled sounds of music and laughter from downstairs seeped through the walls, a reminder of what awaited us.The wedding reception was still in full swing, a celebration happening just beneath us while we lay tangled in sheets, lost in our own world.A world that wasn’t supposed to exist anymore, at least, not after the fight we had back then at the hospital.This...I turned my head to admire her pale body and half-closed eyes.This wasn't supposed to happen.I swore to stay away from her, to respect her desires to be
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 53 – Don’t hold back... I can take it (R18)
KATHERINE'S POV My eyes closed as he pressed his lips to mine. Every inch of my brain screamed for me to leave, to push him away and exit the room but it was almost impossible. I didn't know how badly I wanted him until I felt the taste of his tongue in mine; the mixture of rum, coffee and something sweet. I missed him! He pulled me closer and I sighed softly, leaning more into his body and wrapping my arms around his neck. This wasn't what I planned to do. this shouldn't be happening. Alexander and I were over, what we had was in the past. But just for now. For today. I want to push everything away from my mind; the past, the pain and the revenge I planned. Everything. Only for today. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist sending shivers down my spine at his touch and I let out a moan against his lips. I badly wanted him to take me and to claim me. My body burned with a different kind of heat, which only he can cure. But I couldn't say a single word, not while h
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 52 – She followed me
ALEXANDER'S POVThe house was bustling with activities, caterers arguing, event planners chattering, and the giggles of Susan and her girls.I was grateful for the distraction. It was enough to make me forget... at least for some time.For the past few weeks, I'd been actively avoiding Katherine, refusing to show up at the meetings and making sure that I didn't accidentally bump into her like I did the other day, and for what it's worth, it was successful enough.But I still had the jarring pain in my heart whenever I thought of her. I still dream about her, the words she said to me, the things she did, and the way she looked at me like I was nothing but trouble for her.Leaving her alone was the right decision to make, but it still hurts. Hearing her voice as I walk past the conference room, seeing her walk out of the lobby, and the torture of knowing that she was that close to me yet I couldn't approach her.I sighed heavily and walked out to the balcony of my room overlooking the g
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 51 - Forget about the past? Yeah, right. It still creeps on me every single time!
KATHERINE'S POV"So here's the deal, we need to make sure that the design is outstanding, since it's the first of its kind. We want to attract a lot of people, especially the young ones, so we'll love it if you keep these in mind while creating the designs for the collaboration project."I nodded my head as I stared at Henry. It's been a week since I was hospitalized, since I had that argument with Alexander, and surprisingly, he kept to his word.As soon as I got the email from RodaTech informing me about the project starting today, I knew immediately that Alexander was going all formal with me.But I never expected it to be this serious.He didn't show up for the meeting we had this morning, and now, as we discussed the issue of the design, he was nowhere to be found.It was unlike him.Alexander would never sit out on a project that he considers serious or important, and the fact that he chose to stay out of it, sending Henry to represent him, shows a lot about how hurt he is.I wa
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 50 – Wait... Alexander Was That Worried About Me?
KATHERINE'S POV The door slammed shut behind Alexander, the sound echoing like a gunshot in the sterile hospital room. My chest tightened, my fingers gripping the sheets until my knuckles turned white. "I won’t bother you anymore." His words looped in my mind, sharp and final. This was what I wanted, wasn’t it? For him to walk away? To stop reopening old wounds? I wanted to forget everything, right? I should be happy and satisfied that he had finally decided to leave me. Then why did it feel like my ribs were cracking? Why did it hurt? Why did it feel like I would never see him again? Maybe because I was worried that he would try and do something else to me. Maybe because I was scared that he would come back for Franklin. But his last words resounded in my ears, and I knew that he meant them. Alexander was everything but a scoundrel. He was a man of his word, and if he said that he didn't want to have anything to do with me again, then he meant it. "You shouldn't have been t
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 49 – This Is It. The End of Our Story
ALEXANDER'S POV I paused and stared at both of them, who still seemed oblivious to my presence in the room. My heart squeezed with both anger and a slight pain as I watched Charles beside her, his hand wrapped protectively around hers. Suddenly, he turned to the door. His expression shifted from concern to outright hostility the moment his eyes landed on me. Katherine, pale and fragile-looking, turned her head slightly, her breath hitching when she saw me standing in the doorway. For a moment, no one spoke. The machines beeped in the background, filling the suffocating silence, and the sound of my still-racing heart filled my ears. I didn't want to go further. I stared directly at Katherine, her eyes looking so empty and her face pale. It was the first time I was seeing her that way since the day she was hospitalized back then. After some moments of consideration, I stepped forward, my throat tight. "Katherine..." Charles stood up almost immediately, his hands outstr
