Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Threats From The Queen Consort
Alaric's resignation was never meant to be permanent but rather a calculated move to focus on rebuilding his personal life. However, the pressure of his legacy loomed over him. He knew deep down that abandoning the Royale Group entirely would not only tarnish the family's name but also jeopardize the empire his grandfather, Senior Royale, had built from nothing.The evening after their family outing, Alaric sat in his study, staring at a resignation draft he’d written weeks ago. The words "effective immediately" felt heavier than they should. He sighed and set the document aside, rubbing his temples.Elona entered quietly, carrying a cup of herbal tea. She placed it on his desk and leaned against the edge, crossing her arms. “You’re really going through with this?” she asked, her voice calm but probing.Alaric looked up at her, his gaze conflicted. “I’ve been thinking about it. The business…it’s all-consuming. It feels like I’ve spent my entire life chasing power and profit, and look

Edward Callahan sat at his large, mahogany desk, scanning the photographs in front of him. As the CEO of the Callahan Group, he was always on the lookout for talented designers to collaborate with.But this particular search was personal. The fifth concubine of Country S's royal family had been known for her exquisite taste in jewelry. Edward had been trying to track down the designer behind those stunning pieces for years. His team had finally managed to obtain some photographs of the designer, but they were unremarkable. The woman in the pictures had a burnt scar on her cheek, and her features were not particularly striking. Yet, as Edward gazed at the photographs, he felt an inexplicable tug at his heartstrings.It was as if he was looking at a part of himself, a connection he couldn't quite explain. He shrugged it off as mere curiosity, but the feeling persisted. Edward's eyes drifted to the designs accompanying the photographs. The jewelry pieces were breathtaking, with intrica

The soft hum of a private jet vibrated through the plush cabin as Alaric leaned back in his seat, his mind a storm of frustration and resolve. His emerald eyes, usually calm and commanding, now glinted with a hardened edge. The name Gwen Mason tasted bitter on his tongue.The Royale Group had weathered many storms, but the recent attacks, unprecedented sanctions, false allegations, and covert sabotage, had stretched even his legendary patience. The shadowy hand behind it all led to one person: Queen Consort Gwen Mason of Country S.~~Two Weeks Earlier~~Alaric had been in his office at Royale Tower when his assistant, Jimmy, walked in with an urgent report. “Sir, another contract has been pulled. This time, the banks are citing ‘political instability’ in Country S.”Alaric’s jaw tightened. “Political instability my foot. Who’s the client?”“Callahan Group.”The name made Alaric pause. Edward Callahan was one of the few CEOs he respected, a man who valued integrity as much as profit. “

Alaric’s hands trembled as he dragged himself from the bed, his mind spinning with disbelief and revulsion. The silky sheets that had once signified luxury now felt suffocating, clinging to him like a trap. His eyes darted to Maribel, who sat with the practiced serenity of a woman who knew she had won.The room was unfamiliar, its decor far more feminine than his taste. As his eyes adjusted to the morning light streaming through the windows, he realized with a jolt that he was not alone.Beside him, Maribel lay draped in silk sheets, her bare shoulders peeking out. Her dark hair was spread across the pillow, and she looked every bit the picture of innocence.“What the hell?” Alaric muttered, sitting up too quickly. The motion sent a wave of dizziness crashing over him.Maribel stirred, her eyes fluttering open. She feigned a startled gasp, clutching the sheet to her chest. “Alaric! You’re awake…”“What is this?” he demanded, his voice hoarse. “What happened?”Her lower lip trembled as

As the days turned into weeks, Elona settled into life at Edward’s villa. The triplets adored their newfound uncle, and Edward’s patience and warmth were a balm to Elona’s wounded heart.One afternoon, as they sat in the garden watching the children play, Edward turned to her. “Elona,” he began carefully, “have you thought about what comes next?”She sighed, her gaze distant. “I don’t know. Every time I think I’ve moved past the pain, something reminds me of him.”Edward hesitated before speaking again. “You deserve to be happy, Elona. And if you ever need more than just a place to stay… you have me.”Her eyes met his, a flicker of something unspoken passing between them. For the first time in weeks, Elona allowed herself to smile.Elsewhere, the whispers in the halls of the Royale Mansion were louder than ever. Servants exchanged glances, the senior advisors muttered behind closed doors, and Alaric could feel the weight of every disapproving gaze.He was a man under siege, but the on

The air in the grand hall of the Royale Mansion was heavy with tension as Master Fu strode in, his presence commanding yet calm. Julio and Leonardo stood at the far end, their voices raised in frustration as they debated their next move. Master Fu’s quiet authority, however, was like a balm to the escalating situation.“Master Fu,” Julio said, his tone a mix of relief and exasperation. “We’ve been trying to find Elona, but she left without a word. She’s taken the triplets, and we’re at a loss.” Master Fu raised a hand, silencing Julio. “Panicking will not bring her back. I need to speak with Senior Royale.”Senior Royale sat in his study, a glass of aged whiskey in his hand. He looked up as Master Fu entered, his expression betraying the weight of years and secrets. “You’ve come,” Senior Royale said, gesturing to the seat opposite him.Master Fu took the offered seat but wasted no time. “I need answers, Senior. How can you be so certain that Maribel’s child isn’t Alaric’s? The scandal

The sprawling Callahan villa in the heart of the capital was a sanctuary of opulence and security, a place where Elona and her triplets could find refuge from the storm. Yet, despite the lavish surroundings and the cheerful laughter of her children, Elona’s heart remained a battlefield of emotions.Each morning began with determination, a quiet resolve to forge a new path for herself and her children. But that resolve faltered as the headlines intruded on her carefully built walls. Images of Alaric and Maribel’s engagement plastered across newspapers and magazines were impossible to escape. Maribel, her growing belly a constant reminder of the perceived betrayal, beamed alongside Alaric in every picture.Elona’s chest tightened each time she saw those images, but she refused to let them break her.One evening, she sat alone in the sunlit courtyard, watching her children play.

The Callahan villa brimmed with anticipation as the triplets’ fifth birthday drew near. Arlyle, Artie, and Allie buzzed with excitement, their energy filling every corner of the sprawling estate.“Mama, I want a rocket cake! One that blasts off!” Artie declared, bouncing on his toes as he tugged on Elona’s sleeve. Allie chimed in, spinning dramatically with her toy wand in hand. “No! A princess cake with glitter and a crown!”Arlyle, the eldest by a mere three minutes but ever the diplomat, grinned at his siblings. “We can have both, right, Mama?”Elona knelt to their level, wrapping them all in a warm embrace. “Of course. Anything for my stars,” she said, her voice soft but tinged with a wistfulness that even she couldn’t hide.As the children ran off, their laughter ringing in the air, Elona felt a pang deep in her chest. This birthday was not only a celebration of their growth but also a stark reminder of the fractured relationship she had with their father, Alaric.That evening, t

Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Epilogue: A Legacy Of Love And Genius
Five Years Later… The Royale Estate had never been more alive. Lush gardens stretched as far as the eye could see, the scent of blooming roses mingling with the crisp afternoon air. The laughter of children echoed across the grounds, filling the estate with warmth and joy. Elona stood on the grand balcony, watching the scene below unfold with a soft smile on her lips. She leaned against Alaric, his strong arm wrapped protectively around her waist. "Look at them," she murmured, pride evident in her voice. Down in the courtyard, the Terrific Trio, Arlyle, Artie, and Allie, were engrossed in an intense discussion, their expressions far too serious for eleven-year-olds. But then again, they weren’t just any eleven-year-olds. They were national geniuses, their intelligence unmatched by any child their age. Their names graced international forums, scientific journals, an
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Vows That Shook The Nation
The grand ballroom of the Royale Estate was transformed into a breathtaking vision of elegance. Cascading chandeliers bathed the space in golden light, while delicate floral arrangements lined the aisle, each petal whispering a tale of love, redemption, and new beginnings. Alaric Royale stood at the altar, dressed in a custom-tailored black tuxedo, his stance confident yet solemn. His heart pounded with anticipation as he awaited the arrival of the woman who had become his world, the woman he had almost lost but fought to reclaim. The billboards across Country M broadcasted the event live, capturing every moment in stunning detail. The entire nation bore witness to the redemption of a man who had once taken love for granted but now vowed to cherish it with his entire being. When Elona finally appeared at the entrance, time seemed to stand still.Dressed in an exquisite white gown
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret A Love Rekindled
Alaric Royale had always been a man who thrived under pressure. Business deals, billion-dollar investments, and ruthless negotiations had been his expertise for years. But now, he was navigating an entirely different battlefield, one that involved diaper changes, bedtime stories, and earning the love of the family he had once taken for granted. And he was determined not to fail. For him, this was the dawn of a new routine, and one he fully embraced with sincerity. The sun had barely risen when Elona stirred awake, expecting to hear the usual fussing of the twins. But instead, the room was quiet. Too quiet. She sat up, her heart thudding. Had she overslept? Where were the babies?Slipping on her robe, she made her way downstairs, only to pause at the sight before her. Alaric was in the living room, still in his sleepwear, holding one of the twins in his arms while feeding the othe
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Path To Redemption
Elona studied him, searching for any trace of deception, but all she saw was sincerity, painful, soul-deep sincerity. “I don’t know if I can ever fully forgive you,” she admitted quietly. “But… I want to try.” Alaric’s head snapped up, eyes widening slightly. “You do?” Elona sighed. “The truth is, despite everything, a part of me never stopped wanting you. And maybe that’s my own weakness. But I can’t ignore that you’re their father, that we’re still married, and that...” she hesitated, “...that I once loved you.” The admission hung in the air between them, fragile and uncertain. Alaric leaned forward slightly, his voice a gentle plea. “Then let me earn it. Let me show you that I can be the man you deserve. I don’t expect you to trust me overnight, but I’ll spend every day proving it to you.” Elona exhaled. “We’ll take it one step at a time.” A spark of hope ignited in Alaric’s g
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Alaric's Deepest Regret
“I missed both of your pregnancies. I wasn’t there when you needed me most. I let others dictate my life, let my pride get in the way.” His jaw clenched. “And because of that, I lost the woman who should have been my priority from the beginning.” Elona crossed her arms, her eyes filled with lingering pain. “You don’t just get to regret things now and expect everything to be okay. You should know that by now." “I know,” he admitted. “And I don’t expect forgiveness overnight. But I need you to know, Elona, that I regret it every single day. Every time I look at our children, I think about what I missed. I think about how you went through it all alone because I was too blind to see what truly mattered.” Elona bit her lip, fighting against the emotions rising inside her. It was rare to see Alaric this open, this vulnerable. But bitterness still lingered in her heart. “You always put business first, believed
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret The Burden Of Regret
The battle was won. The threats to Elona were gone. But for Alaric Royale, the war was far from over. As the chaos of the past weeks settled, silence became his enemy. It was in that silence that the heavy burden of his failures pressed down on him. He had conquered enemies, crushed empires, and outmaneuvered some of the most ruthless minds in the world. Yet, when it came to the one thing that truly mattered, his family, he had failed spectacularly. Alaric sat alone in his office, a crystal glass of whiskey untouched on his desk. The city skyline stretched before him, bright and alive, yet he felt nothing but emptiness. His fingers hovered over his phone. He had Elona’s number memorized, yet every time he thought of calling her, he hesitated. What could he say? I’m sorry? I regret everything? Please come back to me? None of it felt enough. He hadn’t just missed a few anniversaries or forgotten a birthday.
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Silent Execution
After the banquet’s revelations had settled, Alaric, Elona, and Master Fu gathered in the Guild’s war room, a dimly lit chamber filled with ancient scrolls, maps, and strategic plans. The room was filled with the scent of aged parchment and burning incense, a signature of Master Fu’s personal quarters.Seated at the head of the table, Master Fu steepled his fingers, his piercing eyes scanning the duo before him. “We need to discuss Gwen Mason.”Elona exhaled sharply, her expression darkening at the mention of the former queen consort of Country S. “She got away too easily,” she muttered.Alaric leaned back in his chair, his face unreadable but his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest. “Even after the ICC took over, the Mason family pulled their strings, and now she walks free on ‘bail.’ It’s a mockery of justice.”Master Fu nodded gravely. “The ICC was never going to hold her accountable. The Mason family has deep connections, and the former king… well, let’s just say he w
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret A Heart Laid Bare
Kian stood at the wide-open balcony of his guest bedroom at the Guild headquarters, his fingers curled tightly around the ornate railing. The cool night air did little to ease the storm raging inside him. He had spent his life running, from the truth, from himself, from the consequences of his choices. But tonight, he could no longer hide.Behind him, the grand doors creaked open, and light footsteps approached. Elona. He knew her presence before he even turned. “You wanted to see me?” she asked, her voice calm but distant.Kian inhaled deeply, steeling himself before facing her. She looked as poised as ever, her striking features illuminated by the moonlight, but there was something else, something he had put there. A wound, not of steel or poison, but of betrayal.“Elona…” he hesitated, his throat tightening. “There’s something I need to say. Something I should have said a long time ago.” She crossed her arms, waiting. “I’m listening.”His fingers clenched at his sides before he for
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret A Banquet Of Revelations
The following evening, the banquet hall of the Guild of Shadows was alive with activity. The grand space had been transformed into an elegant but fortified venue. Guards were positioned at key points, watching for any sign of trouble. Elite members of the guild mingled with the esteemed guests, their presence a reminder that tonight was not just a celebration, it was a test. And Elona was at the center of it all. At the head table sat Master Fu, his keen eyes observing the room, knowing that tonight was not just about celebration, it was about revelation. Elona sat beside him, her face calm and composed, but a storm brewed within. The triplets were at a smaller table nearby, excitedly whispering to one another, while Kian sat to her other side, his expression unreadable.Then, Alaric walked in. Dressed in a sharp black suit, exuding dominance, his icy blue eyes swept the hall before landing on Elona. For a brief moment, time seemed to stand still between them. But before he could tak
