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
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-03-18Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 22 – Astra Lied... She Ruined Us!
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
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-03-19Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 23 - Franklin Is Mine—And No One Else’s!
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 37 – But Why Doesn't My Body Understand?
KATHERINE'S POV As soon as I walked inside the door, I slammed it shut and I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. My back pressed against the cool wood, my fingers trembling slightly as I replayed the confrontation with Alexander in my head. Why was he here? Why did he have to see me with Charles? And most importantly, why did I feel like I just got caught cheating on him?Which was ridiculous because I never belonged to Alexander and I never will.I let out a sigh and slid off the door to the ground as the image of Alexander's face as he stared at me with Charles danced around my head."Oh well, look who's here," Hazel's Sharp voice interrupted my thoughts and I opened my eyes to see her at the foot of the stairs, staring at me like she was expecting me to be here."Hazel.." I called softly, and as if she could feel my frustration, she walked towards me hurriedly, with a frown on her face."What's wrong, Katherine? What happened? Did someone drug you? Force you to dri
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 36 – Katherine's Next
ALEXANDER'S POV I shouldn't have stepped out of the house, I shouldn't have come here. That was what ran through my mind as I slowly walked toward the two figures standing in front of Katherine's house.At first I thought it was Hazel, because of the way she was dressed, Katherine would never dress like that, but as I got closer, it didn't take me long to realize who it was... Katherine, with a man!I felt my blood boil as I moved closer to them, my entire thoughts screaming wild as I saw the man holding her hand and the way he pulled her behind him in a protective way.What the hell was he protecting her from?I saw Katherine's lips move and also noticed how she pushed his hands away just as I got in front of them but none of that mattered to me. Not while he was still staring at me like I was a threat of sorts to Katherine."I'll call you later tonight," he said and with one last look at me, he walked away.The night air was thick with tension, the kind that made your skin prickl
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 35 – Now, I had nowhere to run
KATHERINE'S POV He turned to look at me And that sad look in his eyes was back as he gave me a little smile."You know who... Him. You came here because of him, right? To show Franklin his father?" I scoffed and shook my head."No, you're getting it all wrong. I will never let my son get close to him. I only came here for one thing and he is not the reason I'm back!"I didn't realize it but I was clutching my fist so tight at the thought of Alexander and Franklin. It wasn't until Charles reached for my hands and patted it lightly that I realized what I was doing."Relax, you're about to break your fingers just thinking about him."I shook my head and turned to stare at the door, observing the people in the bar."Katherine...""Charles, please... I just... I don't want to talk about anything right now. Please, I came here just..to forget about everything. Please, okay?"He stared at me for a while before finally nodding his head."Okay.. fine. Let's not talk about the past. How are y
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 34 - You’re Very Hard to Forget, Katherine
KATHERINE'S POV "Katherine?" Yeah Right. It was Charles alright.What the heck was he doing here? In a place like this?"Katherine?? Is ...is that you?" The sound of his voice sent shivers all over my body as I stared into those eyes of his.His full brows curved in surprise and recognition as he stared at me. He looked the same as he did three years ago, the only thing that changed was how tanned he looked, how long his buzz cut was now, and the pain in his eyes...the only thing I left him with."Charles," I managed to say but it only came out in a whisper as I stared at him, still surprised to see him here."It's really you??! Katherine? Wha... what are you doing here? I mean, no, wow, I'm...You look beautiful."A thousand words ran through my head as I stared at his surprised face. I wanted to tell him that he looked the same... but in a drop-dead gorgeous kind of way.I wanted to ask him if he was over me, if he ever forgot me...like I did the minute I stepped my foot into Texas
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 33 - To get fucked
KATHERINE'S POV"No... Hazel, definitely not!"I was staring at the dress Hazel showcased in front of me and shook my head. There's no way she expected me to wear something like that to the club, no, anywhere.It was a sheer seductive black gown that looked short as hell.Definitely not something a CEO should be caught wearing."Oh come on, Katherine, be open-minded. This is really good, especially for our mission for tonight and what's that mission?"I rolled my eyes at her and shook my head refusing to give in."Come on, say it."I shrugged."Katherine...?""Fine.. to get fucked.""Louder, I can't hear you. What's the mission for tonight?""To get fucked.""To what??!""Get fucked!!" I yelled, finally bursting into laughter."That's the spirit. You need to get fucked and this dress screams everything about your availability to get fucked, not that...," she pointed at the clothes I was wearing with a frown on her face."But this is okay, I mean, it's uhmm, modest?""Right and who fuc
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 32 – What Exactly Was Alexander Doing?
KATHERINE'S POV"What's this call I just got, Katherine?" Hazel asked as she walked into my office.It's been hours of arranging and rearranging my mother's former office and trying to make it look exactly as I remembered it looked like.It wasn't easy ..no, everything since this morning hasn't been easy.Ever since I found out about Alex's involvement in the company, and then that visit of his..? Something just didn't stick to me, it just didn't seem right. I sighed and dropped the pile of files I was carrying and turned to stare at Hazel.The look on her face told me that she was angry and I could already tell that this was going to add to my already piled-up list of worries."What call?" I asked as I stared expectantly at her."What else??"The rolling of her eyes And the frown was enough for me to know who it was about.I sighed again and slumped on the seat.Great...just great."What did he do this time, Hazel?""He went to Franklin's school, Katherine, that's what he did."I sa
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 31 – You lost that right
ALEXANDER'S POV The room felt heavy with tension after Astra’s tearful confession and my mother and Susan’s abrupt departure. I sat in silence, my mind racing as I tried to process everything that had just happened. Astra’s sobs had quieted, but her presence still lingered, a reminder of the chaos she had brought into my life. I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to her sudden remorse than she was letting on. But for now, I had bigger things to worry about.My son. Franklin. The boy I hadn’t even known existed until a few days ago. The boy who had called me “Daddy” without even knowing who I was. The thought of him sent a pang of guilt and longing through me. Katherine had kept him from me for six years, and now that I knew the truth, I couldn’t just sit back and let her dictate how this would play out. I needed to see him, to talk to him, to be a part of his life. But how?I glanced at Astra, who was still standing awkwardly in the middle of the room, her eyes red and pu
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 30 – Was Alexander involved in everything that happened six years ago?
KATHERINE'S POVThe sight of Henry standing outside the building sent a jolt of unease through me. His presence here, of all places, couldn’t be a coincidence. My mind raced, trying to piece together why Alexander’s assistant would be here, especially after everything that had just transpired inside. Was Alexander keeping tabs on me? Or was this something else entirely?Hazel’s grip on my hand tightened, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Henry through the car window. “What the hell is he doing here?” she muttered, her voice low but laced with suspicion.I didn’t have an answer. My thoughts were a chaotic whirlwind, torn between the confrontation I’d just had with Elizabeth and Clara and the sudden appearance of Henry. My heart was still pounding from the adrenaline of standing up to my stepmother, and now this? It felt like the universe was testing me, pushing me to my limits.“Let’s go,” I said quietly, my voice steadier than I felt. “We’ll deal with this later.”Hazel nodded, but
Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 29 – She Tried to Kill Herself... Because of Me?
ALEXANDER'S POV "Astra..." I managed to say as I stared at her in surprise. It wasn't what I expected. She didn't look disheveled but she looked like she had been crying for days and it was surprising.Why would she cry? Wasn't she the one behind everything?Mom didn't say a word..she didn't have to though, her face already said a thousand words as she glared at the sad face Astra was pulling and then Susan. She was looking weirdly disappointed to see her."What's going on?" I asked finally, taking another step toward her."Alex.. I'm so sorry. I couldn't. I couldn't do it."I frowned, confused."What? Do what?" She sniffed, tears falling off her face."I tried to, Alex, I promise you. I tried to kill myself because I deserve to die. I wanted to punish myself for you. To do what you would want to do to me but I couldn't. I can't. Alexander, please forgive me."I blinked, utterly confused at what was going on.So Astra really did try to commit suicide? Why?"You tried to kill yourse
