Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 43 – Are You Really Going to Watch Me Leave?
AUTHOR'S POV The knock on the door startled Hazel as she looked up from the computer and stared at the door, trying to see if she was actually hearing things."Who could that be?" She muttered as she stared at the door, the knock sounding again.She knew it wasn't Katherine because it was just some minutes ago that she left the house and Franklin was at school so who could possibly be at the door.Her brows connected in confusion as she walked closer to the door. Her gut warned her just before she opened the door and..."Oh, great.""A wonderful morning to you too, Hazel," Henry said as he smiled at her.He could already tell that this was going to be really difficult more than how he assumed it would be from her countenance."No, it isn't. What should have been a pleasant morning disappeared the minute you knocked on this door.""Well, too bad. May I come in?" He asked, already placing his feet inside the door.She frowned and eyed him suspiciously."What now? Did Alexander send you

ALEXANDER'S POVThe moment I read that message, my entire body tensed. My grip on Astra’s phone tightened, my knuckles turning white as fury coursed through me."Katherine Luther and an unknown man found at the club last night."The words burned into my mind.An unknown man? Charles? Or someone else?And who the hell sent this?I forced myself to take a deep breath, trying to steady the storm raging inside me. This wasn’t just about jealousy, though that was definitely part of it. This was about control. Someone was watching Katherine. And if they were watching her, they were watching me.I handed the phone back to Astra, my voice dangerously low.“Who sent this?”She hesitated, her eyes darting away for a fraction of a second before meeting mine again. “I don’t know. It was an unknown number.”Bullshit.Astra was many things, but she wasn’t stupid. If she had received this, she knew something. And the fact that she had come here, to my office, right when Katherine and Charles were pr

KATHERINE'S POVThe ride back home was suffocating. The silence was tense and awkward.I could tell that Charles had a lot on his mind, a lot of questions to ask me—especially after that last encounter with Alex—but he was keeping quiet for my benefit, and I was grateful for it.At least until I blinked and realized that I wasn't going back home."Where are we going?" I asked, looking around, confused, as he took a left turn instead of a right."Somewhere quiet."His voice was calm and collected; it was almost impossible to guess what was on his mind."My house is quiet..."He turned to stare at me with a smile on his face."No, it isn't. You need somewhere you can cool off. I can't be taking all that energy to Franklin."I sighed softly and turned my face away under his scrutiny.He was right. I couldn't let myself be easily influenced by my emotions and definitely couldn't allow it to affect Franklin.But the question hovered in my mind as I leaned back in my seat and eyed him from

KATHERINE'S POV"So, what do you plan on doing?" Charles asked, finally breaking the silence as we both sat on the car's bonnet, staring at the sky."About what?" I asked, turning to face him.The past few minutes, we've been sitting together in silence, each of us lost in our own thoughts, and I tried so hard not to think about anything. But suddenly, he was bringing everything back."The whole issue with Alexander. Are you sure you're still comfortable working with him? I mean, aside from the fact that he's your ex-husband, he's also your son's father. Do you really think you can work with him without getting any... uhm... emotions involved? Why are you working with him in the first place?"I sighed softly as he echoed the questions I've been pushing away from my thoughts since the day I realized that I would never be able to fully get over Alexander."I have to. I didn't know that I was working with him. I didn't know that he was the CEO of RodaTech. I didn't know he built a new co
Last Updated : 2025-03-31Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy! Chapter 47 – Where Did You See Her, Damnit? Where Is She??
ALEXANDER'S POV"You did what?" I roared as I threw my head forward, clutching my stomach as I burst into laughter.Henry stared at me with a pointed look on his face, and I could tell that my laughter was only further fueling his anger and frustration as he sighed loudly and folded his arms."I already told you.""Wow. I didn't think you'd go that low.""You said we need to find out before them at all costs. Wasn't that obviously referring to the fact that we should do whatever it takes?" His words barely came out through his clenched teeth, and I knew that I had no other choice but to stop laughing.I sniffed and wiped my eyes with the back of my palm as I tried to compose myself."Yeah, but telling her that you're in love with her is definitely out of the question. I mean, why would you? She obviously wouldn't believe you."He scoffed."Well, didn't I think of that? I thought she would at least buy it if I confessed that I've been in love with her since when Katherine was married t

ALEXANDER'S POV"What?? How..? No, no, where's the hospital?"I could barely breathe. The idea of Katherine being sick... no, being on the hospital bed made me so scared that I could hardly breathe.Funny how quickly I contradicted myself within seconds. I said I was no longer interested in her, that I was happy for her being with someone else.Why then was my heartbeat skipping so fast? Why was I getting a minor panic attack at the idea of her being in the hospital?"I don't know.""What??" I yelled, grabbing his neck tightly."I don't know where. I just...""How did you know about this?" Henry asked in a cool voice."I... I saw her leaving your company, so I decided to follow her. And... I saw an ambulance coming to carry her. That's all, I swear."An ambulance! That means it was very serious.What the hell happened?"Who was she with? Was she alone?"He shook his head**,** looking so terrified of me and the way I grabbed his neck."She wasn't alone. She was with a guy... a handsome

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
Last Updated : 2025-03-31Billionaire'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 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

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
