His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret Prologue: The Moment Everything Fell Apart
JULIA I stood there, staring at the two pink lines on the pregnancy test. My hands shook so badly that I almost dropped it. “Goodness,” I muttered, massaging the bridge of my nose. I knew I had been feeling off lately. The dizziness, the nausea—it all made sense now. I glanced at the clock and sighed. Evan would be home soon. My heart raced at the thought. Would he be happy? I bit my lip, trying to swallow down the nerves bubbling up inside me. “There’s no need to feel this way, Julia,” I muttered, smiling at my reflection in the mirror. Evan loved me. He’d called me the greatest gift in his life more times than I could count! He’d always chosen me, even when girls with prettier faces and wealthier families tried to steal his attention. He never even glanced at them!However, there was still a nagging doubt that made my fingers curl tighter around the pregnancy test. Evander Cassiel Astor—the heir to Astor Empires and my boyfriend of four years. We’d been together since our
His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret Chapter 1: Welcome Back, Julia
JULIA “Julia, wake up!” Someone violently shook my shoulders, causing my eyes to snap open. I was breathless as I faced my best friend, Sarah, who was looking at me with annoyance. “Finally,” she grumbled. “It’s so hard to wake you up.” I clicked my tongue and shook my head. “Do you have to wake me up so vigorously? I thought I was in real danger for a second!” “You might as well be,” Sarah said with a smile. “I’ve been trying to wake you up for ten minutes. Ten whole minutes! Are you dreaming about your first and greatest love again?” My cheeks instantly warmed up, and although I tried to deny it, Sarah had already caught on. She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms. “I knew it,” she said. “You’re still dreaming about him, huh?” “I’m not!” I denied. “I’m just—I was dreaming about…the end of the world!” “Well, when he left you, you did say that was the end of the world.” “Sarah!” I exclaimed. “You're rubbing salt on my wound.” “Oh, come on. You’ll cope. He already left yo
His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret Chapter 2: An Ordinary Girl
JULIA I paused at the thought of Evan coming back. Have I thought about it? Of course, I have. However, it was something I felt was impossible. Yet, here I was now—back to the city where we first met. The chances of seeing him had increased, and I didn’t know how to feel about it. After I found out I was pregnant, I told my parents right away. It was obvious that they couldn’t accept it at all. Their only daughter getting pregnant at a very young age wasn’t a part of their plans. And when I told them that Evan couldn’t seem to accept the child, they became even angrier. They had known Evan since he was young. Well, we have been best friends since we were little because my parents worked for his family—helpers of some sort. Our relationship wasn’t really perceived well in the Astor family. I could tell that they respected Evan’s decision to date their helper’s daughter. However, at the same time, I could also tell that they wanted someone better for him. So, as soon as I was out
His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret Chapter 3: The Perfect Heather
JULIA “Heather Elodi Maison?” My head shot up as soon as I heard the familiar name. “Here,” a soft voice said, sounding as elegant as ever. My eyebrows raised in surprise as I caught a glimpse of the beautiful girl. Sarah and I were just talking about her a while ago! My gaze lingered longer, and I found myself unable to look away. “Pretty,” I muttered. She still looked pretty as ever. It seemed like the other students agreed as they started muttering to themselves about how pretty she was. “Isn’t she a model?” “Yeah! Her family’s very rich, too. They have a successful business.” “What is she doing in art school?” Heather remained composed through it all. I remembered her, of course. She was the only girl that made me feel threatened when it came to Evan. She wasn’t pushy, but she was determined. Aside from that, she came from a very reputable family—the Maison clan. Evan and her were a match made in heaven. Oftentimes, I would find myself getting jealous of the two of t

EVANDER I leaned over, fingers barely brushing the barbell as Carter pressed upward. His face was scrunched and red—making him look even more annoying than usual. He needed to learn his limits, but that’s why I was here, spotting his ass as always. “Come on, man. Push it,” I sighed, feeling impatient. “I’m…trying…,” he breathed heavily. I clicked my tongue and shook my head. “You should have picked the lighter weight.” He sucked in a breath, veins popping against his skin, but the weight stayed put. I watched, unbothered, letting him struggle a bit longer before intervening. It was part of the process, making them sweat it out. Helped build character.Just as I stepped in to lift the weight, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out, glancing at the screen. Dad. I groaned and held in the urge to press the decline button. However, I knew better than to ignore it. I nodded at Carter, signaling that I had his back for a second, and answered.“Evander,” came the familiar v
His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret Chapter 5: A Familiar Face
JULIA I didn’t hesitate. The bush was dense and prickly, but I dove in anyway, ignoring the sharp thorns that snagged at my sweater and scraped against my arms. My breath hitched as I pressed my body flat against the uneven ground, clutching the rough bark of a tree trunk for cover. There they were. Evan and Heather. Together. The girl he always told me not to worry about. I hated how my heart reacted—betrayal, anger, longing—all tangled up in a mess that made it hard to breathe. Evan leaned against his car, his dark hair ruffled by the breeze in that effortless way that used to drive me wild. He still looked the same—well, not entirely. His features were slightly older, and he looked more handsome. However, the shine in his eyes dimmed lightly. For other people, it might not be noticeable, but for me, who had seen him smile countless of times, it was definitely different. Heather stood beside him, her hand brushing his arm as she laughed at something I couldn’t hear. I sudde

JULIA The daycare classroom was quiet, only filled with the soft scratching of crayons against paper. Andy sat on a small stool nearby, his tongue sticking out in concentration as he worked on his latest masterpiece. Meanwhile, Ellie and I were seated across from each other at one of the low tables, the silence between us growing heavier with each passing second. I focused on smoothing the sleeve of my sweater, still speckled with dirt from my earlier adventure. Ellie, on the other hand, sat perfectly composed, her green eyes scanning the room to search for the right words. Finally, she broke the silence. “He’s a great boy.” Her tone was soft as her gaze shifted to Andy. He was drawing what looked like a cat with an oversized head. I nodded, swallowing hard. “Yeah, he is.” She smiled faintly, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “You’ve done well with him, Julia. It’s not easy, raising a child on your own.” Her words stung, though I knew she didn’t mean them to. “I had a hun
