Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret The Queen's Mind Games
Elona leaned back in the plush leather seat of the private jet, the soft hum of the engines providing a calming backdrop to her thoughts. Through the window, the vast ocean stretched out below her, its surface shimmering under the sunlight. Beside her, her three children sat, immersed in their own activities.Arlyle was typing furiously on his laptop, the glow of the screen reflecting in his intense eyes. At just three and a half years old, his dexterity and understanding of complex coding languages were astounding. Beside him, Artie was sketching designs for a new firewall system, his brows furrowed in deep concentration. Meanwhile, Allie sat quietly with her sketchpad, her delicate fingers moving gracefully as she brought her latest masterpiece to life, a beautifully intricate calligraphic design.Elona’s gaze softened as she watched them, pride welling in her chest. They were her greatest treasures, and their talents were far beyond what even she had imagined. But there was more a

Harley sat in her mother Helena's elegant parlor, the room dimly lit by a soft golden chandelier. Her hands trembled as she held her tea cup, unable to meet her mother’s sharp gaze. Helena’s presence was always imposing, her beauty cold and commanding, a stark contrast to Harley’s own delicate features.“I don’t know what to do, Mother,” Harley whispered, her voice cracking. “I... I drugged Alaric that night, thinking it would bring us closer. But—” She paused, the memory choking her. “He fought the effects. Instead of... succumbing, he collapsed. The doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong, and he fell into a vegetative state.”Helena’s expression didn’t falter, but the slight narrowing of her eyes betrayed her anger. “You mean to tell me that your reckless desperation nearly killed him? Do you understand the consequences of what you’ve done?”Harley nodded, her tears spilling over. “Senior Royale brought in a Chinese doctor to save him after the hospital gave up. That doctor... i

Alaric stepped out of the sleek black car and took in the sight before him. A sprawling estate tucked deep within the rolling countryside of Country S. Its grandeur was undeniable, yet it carried an air of defiance. The towering walls and looming gates seemed less an invitation and more a statement. Julio, the elusive artist, guarded his world fiercely.It had been three agonizing days since Alaric set foot in the country, and every hour had been consumed by his relentless pursuit of Julio. No calls were returned. Every attempt to reach him through intermediaries met the same response: Julio does not entertain visitors. Alaric had tried persuasion, subtle bribes, and even appealing to Julio’s ego, but the man remained a ghost. It was only by sheer persistence and a bit of calculated manipulation, that Alaric finally secured a grudging invitation to the estate.As he walked through the heavy wooden doors, Jimmy followed close behind, his usual jovial demeanor replaced by quiet apprehen

The drive back from Julio’s estate was cloaked in silence, the low hum of the car’s engine the only sound breaking through the tension. Alaric stared out the window, the sprawling countryside of Country S a blur of greens and grays. His mind was racing, piecing together the new revelations like shards of glass in a broken mirror. Jimmy finally broke the silence. “Boss, what’s the play now? You think Elona’s ready for this bombshell?”Alaric didn’t answer immediately. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the photograph again, his thumb brushing against the faded edges. Esmeralda’s haunting beauty and the innocence in Elona’s young eyes stared back at him. The weight of responsibility was immense.“She deserves the truth,” Alaric said eventually, his voice steady but low. “But it’s not just about telling her. It’s about what this truth will bring. Power. Enemies. Legacy. This isn’t just her past; it’s her future.”Jimmy nodded, though his unease was clear. “Still, it’s a lot for on

The fire crackled softly in the Carters' exquisite sitting room, its flickering light casting Helena Carter’s shadow long and imposing against the wallpaper. Across from her, Harley paced, her frustration palpable in every sharp click of her heels against the marble floor.“I don’t understand it, Mother,” Harley seethed, her hands clenching at her sides. “I followed your advice. I sent the photos, wired the payment, and waited for the results. Instead, the assassin returned my money and told me to stay away from her! They said Elona’s untouchable!” Helena sat back, swirling her tea with a delicate spoon. She didn’t even glance up. “And you listened to them?”“They made it clear,” Harley snapped, her voice rising. “Elona’s built some sort of fortress around herself. She’s not the same naive girl we bullied before.” By now, she was visibly agitated. “Of course, she’s not,” Helena said smoothly, setting her cup down. “It’s been years. And you’ve grown soft, Harley. You hesitate, you seco
Last Updated : 2024-12-09Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret The Cost Of Failure
The Guild of Shadows operated from the unseen cracks of the world, neutral but resolute, efficient but ethical. While other mercenary groups operated purely for pay, The Guild of Shadows worked on principles that transcended greed. All thanks to the guidance of Master Fu and his deputy, Elona Carter. They only allowed ethical assassins to be part of the guild. Their members eliminated threats, dangerous dissidents, rogue cartels, and destabilizing influences but never the innocent. They maintained balance, and their reputation was ironclad. It was a promise, a code, and a rule that no member could break. Lee had no idea what kind of monster he was about to wake up when he sought their help in order to carry out the job he took from Helena.Lee thought he was meeting a contact, just another group of mercenaries with the experience and manpower to eliminate Elona Carter and her triplets. He had no idea that this was the Guild of Shadows. Desperation clouded his judgment, and the promis

Three days passed in agonizing silence. Helena Carter paced around her study, her perfectly manicured nails tapping her phone screen as she checked it for the umpteenth time in that hour. Still, nothing. No response whatsoever from Lee.Lee was the man she had trusted for years. The very assassin who had helped her eliminate Esme, Elona's mother, suddenly became unreachable. Calls went unanswered, texts unread and by the fourth day, Helena's patience reached its zero tolerance. "This is totally unacceptable!" She muttered through clenched teeth as she reached for her coat and handbag. Then she called for the driver, her voice clipped. "Take me to the slums!"The drive was long was long and uncomfortable, the city's glimmering towers giving way to narrow and dark alleys as well as crumbling buildings. The air grew heavy with the stench of decay and despair. Helena wrinkled her nose not even bothering to conceal her disdain for the place. The car stopped and Helena stepped out cautiou

The Carter estate’s sprawling garden basked in the warm afternoon sun, a picturesque scene of calm that belied the tension brewing among its inhabitants. Helena sat with her daughter, Harley, at a small wrought-iron table shaded by a flowering trellis. A pot of tea steamed between them, untouched, as their hushed voices carried a tone of conspiracy.“You need to be more careful,” Helena said, her voice sharp but low. “The failure with the first assassin has drawn unnecessary attention.”Harley scowled, stirring her tea absentmindedly. “Mother, I followed your advice and let you handled it. You sought out Lee, but what happened? Lee was supposed to be discreet, but he botched the job and ended up dying miserably.. I don’t know how Elona always stays one step ahead! This time you were even outsmarted by her. I think we should just let it be.”Helena’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. “That's just because you lack determination, Harley. If you want Alaric’s love, you have to eliminat

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
