THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 145 Scars and regrets
The throbbing in my hand was a dull reminder of James’ grip. I yanked it away, my fury bubbling to the surface. I was ready to unleash a torrent of words, maybe even a kick—anything to make him feel the same frustration he’d caused me.But then, James rolled over, got off me, and sat up. He started to remove his shirt, the sunlight catching the contours of his back.It was… distracting.The way his spine moved, the play of muscles beneath his skin. For a moment, I almost forgot my anger.Almost.My foot was already halfway up, aimed squarely at his backside when he spoke.His voice, low and husky, sent a shiver down my spine.“If you dare to kick me again, I'll make you cry under me.”The threat hung in the air, thick with something… dangerous.My foot dropped back to the floor like a stone.I was scared. Not just physically, but… something else.He just sat there, though, breathing deeply. Didn’t do anything. My heart finally started to slow down.And I couldn't help but stare at his

James"I said, don’t pay attention to it," I snapped, my patience wearing thin.Cheng was worrying too much. Overestimating the situation. Overestimating her."Do you really think there’s anyone in this city who dares to hurt me? Or do you think I can’t even deal with a weak, middle-aged woman who’s practically powerless? Do I look like I need bodyguards as if I’m facing some great enemy?"Silence.Cheng stared at me for a moment, then finally backed off. He knew better than to argue. He knew what I was capable of. Muay Thai, karate, firearms, grappling—I was trained, and experienced. I didn’t need protection.He was being ridiculous.We arrived at the hospital, and I wasted no time heading straight for Susan Wenger’s room.She lay there on the hospital bed, wrapped in a thin gown, a bandage around her forehead. Pale. Haggard. The same woman who had once been so full of herself, so confident.Now?She looked pathetic.Her eyes, red and swollen, stared blankly at the ceiling, lifeless.

ChengI was really starting to worry about him. As his assistant, I felt like I had a pretty good read on the situation.The CEO clearly cared about his wife, about this marriage. I’d seen it myself. Back when Zelda was still working in the office, I’d walked in on him a few times while delivering documents. He’d be staring at her, lost in his own little world.Sometimes he wouldn’t even notice me come in. And… well, he’d have this… soft smile on his face. A real smile. Not the usual, carefully constructed one.It was… love. I was sure of it. I was so happy for them back then, for the CEO and his secretly married wife. I never imagined they’d end up like this.I’d thought it was just a lovers’ quarrel. But then they signed up for their divorce. And he’d been… different ever since. Quiet. Short-tempered. There was a bitterness in his voice, even when he was just giving instructions.It was all because his wife was leaving. He was too proud to admit it, of course. But I knew. He needed

YuellOf all the people I could run into today, it had to be her.From the moment I saw her talking to Sia, something in my gut told me she was up to something. And when I realized where she was heading—toward Director Wang—I didn’t hesitate.I closed the distance in a few long strides and grabbed her arm."Come with me."She recoiled, eyes blazing. "Hey! What are you doing? Yuell Qing, are you sick? Let me go!"Sia blinked in confusion, clearly unsure whether to intervene. She tried to follow, but my assistant stopped her."Miss Sia," he said smoothly, “Mr Yuell has a few words with Miss Jian. Please don’t go over there."Sia hesitated, then sighed. "Jian knows Mr Qin? That’s fine, I won’t bother them."I barely heard their conversation. My focus was on the furious woman I was dragging away.When we reached the bathroom door, she yanked back hard, attempting to free herself. I held firm. She huffed, then twisted sharply, slamming her elbow into my chest and forcing me against the wal

Jian"Jian, what's going on? Are you pregnant?"Director Wang finally snapped out of his shock, his face darkening as he glared at Jian.“Sia, explain what is going on?“It wasn’t easy for Sia to land the role of the second female lead—if she lost it now because of this, what would she do?Sia immediately panicked, shaking her head frantically."I... I... I..."Before she could stammer any further, I grabbed her hand and spoke up."Director Wang, do not worry about it. I had a miscarriage."Sia caught on immediately."Yes, yes! She had a miscarriage because of her career!"James Ferguson let out a cold sneer."Miscarriage?" His voice was laced with scepticism. "When? Which hospital?"His sharp gaze sliced through the room like a knife, making Sia tremble. Under his piercing stare, she was on the verge of tears, her fingers clutching my sleeve."I don't… I don't know you," I stammered, voice weak. "This is a private matter. Why should I tell you? I..."Before it could finish, the produ

JamesMy jaw tightened as I strode through the airport, my bodyguards parting the crowd like Moses parting the Red Sea. Zelda. Where was she?Her flight was in two hours, and we’d locked down every exit. She couldn't have just vanished."Sir, all flights to Europe are waiting in Terminal 3. Your wife's flight should take off in two hours. We have already blocked all entrances and exits, but we haven't found your wife yet," the bodyguard reported, his voice tight with concern.My face was like thunder."Keep looking!" I barked, waving them off.My eyes scanned the sea of faces, searching for her. She had to be here. Two hours wasn't enough time to get far.A knot of anxiety tightened in my gut. Had she even arrived? I knew international flights boarded early. My gaze snagged on a tall figure talking to a woman near the gate. A surge of rage, hot and possessive, flooded me.Hammer Yassir. That snake.I stalked towards them, my blood pounding in my ears. I grabbed his shoulder and spun h

ZeldaNo!There was no way I would leave with James Ferguson obediently. The moment his grip tightened around me, I instinctively grabbed onto the armrest of my seat and screamed."I won’t leave! Help! I don’t know him!"My voice echoed through the cabin, desperate, pleading. I turned my head, hoping—praying—that someone would intervene.But the plane was silent.Dozens of eyes were locked on us, wide with shock, yet no one moved. No one even whispered.Then I saw why.Behind James stood the captain and crew members, their expressions calm, almost indifferent. Flanking them were several men in black—his bodyguards. And then it hit me.The captain had personally opened the cabin door for him.A chill ran down my spine. Even a fool would know—this was a man no one dared to cross.Still, I refused to believe that everyone here feared power. There had to be someone willing to help. I opened my mouth to plead again—But before I could, James leaned down, his breath hot against my ear."Don

ZeldaHis kiss stole my breath, leaving me dizzy and unable to think clearly. My mind raced, fear gnawing at me. I was terrified he’d hurt the baby. But then, the memory of that night with Susan Wenger flashed through my mind.The birth control pills he’d forced me to take the next day, his sharp frown, the coldness in his eyes… He’d said if I got pregnant, I’d have to… No. I couldn't gamble with this. I couldn't tell him.He didn't want this baby. He’d made that clear. Every time we… he was so careful. If he knew, he’d… he’d force me to… The image of a cold, sterile operating room flashed before my eyes, and my blood ran cold.I met his gaze, trying to project a strength I didn't feel."No reason," I said, my voice trembling slightly. "We're divorced! You can't do this. And this is a car! Don't be crazy! Please… I don’t want it!"My words didn't faze him. Instead, I saw a flicker of something dangerous in his eyes. His anger was building. He grabbed my chin, his grip tight."Zelda,"

ZeldaAs the door shut, James exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. His body was tense, his fists clenched at his sides.James stood motionless, staring at the door, his jaw clenched so tightly that I thought he might break.Mr Ferguson was the first to speak, his voice firm but not unkind.“James, I know you’re angry, but she’s still your mother.”James let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head. “Still my mother?” His voice wavered. “What kind of mother does this to her child? What kind of mother lets him suffer for years and then—then when the truth comes out, she refuses to even acknowledge it?”His father sighed, rubbing a hand down his face. “She’s scared, James. Scared of losing everything she’s built, scared of what the truth means.”James turned on him, pained.“And what about me? Does she care how scared I was? How much I lost? How I spent years believing I was the mistake, that everything that went wrong was somehow my fault?”Helen’s voice trembled from the doorw
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 264 I Have Proof
ZeldaI sit on the edge of the bed, staring at the divorce papers I had once been so ready to sign. My hands rest over my stomach, where our child—my child—grows.I told myself I wouldn't cry over James Ferguson again. But here I am, my heart still aching in ways I wish it wouldn't.He had always been my saviour. When I was just a scared thirteen-year-old girl, lost and alone, James had taken me in. I admired him, idolized him. But then admiration turned into something else. Love. The kind that consumed me, that I could never shake off, no matter how hard I tried.But James had never seen me that way.First, it was Susan Wenger... I watched as he gave everything to Susan, how he smiled at her the way I had always wished he would look at me. And when Susan was gone, I thought—maybe—just maybe, James would see me.But then came Luoxing.And that had been the final proof I needed to know the truth. I was never going to be James's first choice.That was why I decided to leave. I refused t
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 263 Showing Mercy
JamesThe Bai estate was as grand as ever, standing as a symbol of power, wealth, and the history that bound our families together.Or so I thought.I stepped inside without hesitation. No one stopped me. They never would. For years, I had been welcomed here like a son.I had thought I was.But tonight, the weight of betrayal clung to me like a second skin, suffocating, inescapable and true.As I entered the main hall, I found them all gathered—Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, and their daughter, Bai Luoxing.The moment they saw me, Luoxing was the first to react. She stood up, her eyes filled with something between relief and hesitation."James!"I lifted a hand to my head, stopping her in her tracks.She hesitated, then slowly sat back down, casting a quick glance toward her mother.Mrs Bai, ever composed, sat calmly at the head of the table, an air of relaxed control around her. She didn’t look surprised to see me.She probably didn’t know that I knew everything.Mr. Bai, on the other hand, was
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 262 I Need to Know
JamesA slow, numbing realization crept over me, drowning out everything else.The Bai family hadn’t just manipulated me.They had shaped my entire life."They couldn’t just bring Luoxing back," Dom continued, his voice low. "Not when the whole world was looking for her. Not when they hadn't gotten anything from their attempt. So they kept her hidden, cared for her, made sure no one found her."I barely heard him. My mind was already racing ahead, connecting pieces I had never thought to question before."But the Ferguson family—" My voice caught. "We never stopped searching for her.""And that’s exactly what they wanted."I snapped my gaze to him."Think about it, James." Dom leaned forward, the dim light casting sharp shadows on his face."Your parents. Your grandmother. You. You were all drowning in guilt, haunted by the loss of a little girl you thought you failed to protect. You clung to Madame Bai and saw her as a second mother because she was grieving too. She played her role p
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 261 Start Talking
JamesThe air in the car was filled with tension, Zelda's rigid posture and clenched phone screaming her silent fury at me. I deserved it—every bit of her anger, every cold shoulder. But damn if it didn't carve a hollow ache in my chest.Then my phone buzzed, slicing through the suffocating quiet.I answered, and within seconds, the tension in my shoulders eased."We found Dom."The words sent a rush of grim satisfaction through me. Finally. After all the hunting, all the dead ends—we had him.My grip tightened on the phone. "Alive?""Barely. He's talking."Good.I glanced at Zelda, still stubbornly turned away from me, her reflection faint in the window. This changed everything. With Dom's testimony, the Bai family's carefully constructed lies would crumble.But first—"Keep him secure. I'll be there soon."Hanging up, I studied Zelda's profile. She thought this was about the divorce. About me stalling.She had no idea the storm that was coming.And for once, I'd be the one to shield
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 260 I am sorry
JamesMadam Bai’s fingers combed through Bai Luoxing’s hair with practised tenderness, her voice saccharine."Don’t cry. Mom knows your heart is too soft—you would have stopped me if you knew."Then she lifted her chin, her blind eyes fixed in my direction with eerie precision."James, I only helped your wife leave because she wanted to. I didn’t want you two to become bitter enemies. You may not understand my intentions, but the truth is, this all started with her desire to run. Luoxing is innocent."Innocent.The word tasted like ash."So sending men to hunt her down—was that also a favour?" My voice was lethally quiet.Madam Bai’s wrinkled face twisted in feigned confusion."Hunt her? James, I only sent people to find her after she disappeared! For her safety! And my nephew—where is Dom? Did you see him?"Zelda stiffened beside me. I could almost hear the furious drum of her heartbeat.I stared at the woman who had once been like a second mother to me.Even now, faced with the trut
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 259 All Of It
JamesMy lashes lowered, hiding the smug satisfaction in my gaze as I buried my face against her again. Good. She didn’t push me away this time.Then— Thump.Something struck the side of my face.I froze.Before I could process it, another hit—this time square on the bridge of my nose. Not painful, but sharp, like a tiny jolt of electricity.My head snapped up, eyes wide."Was that… Littleton?"Zelda’s lips curled, amusement flickering in her gaze before she pressed them flat again."Littleton’s here to teach you some manners," she said dryly.Of course, it was Littleton.Even in the womb, my kid couldn’t stand watching their shameless father grovelling like this and decided to intervene.A stunned laugh caught in my throat.I stared at the slight swell of her belly, then slowly raised my hand, pressing my fingers where I’d been kicked. The impact had been soft, muted by layers of flesh and fluid, but it sent a current straight through my chest.My heart hammered—not from fever, but s
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 258 Faking It
JamesThe pain in my chest was sharp, unrelenting, as I watched her smile—so effortless, so free. As if I meant nothing.If it were up to me, I’d never let her go.Especially not now, with those men hovering around her like vultures, waiting for their chance. But I couldn’t do anything. Not anymore.I didn’t dare to force her, didn’t dare to manipulate things behind her back like I used to. One wrong move, and she’d slip even further from my grasp.And then there was Dom. Until he was dealt with, she wasn’t safe here."Don’t worry," I said, my voice steady despite the storm inside me. "I’ll fulfil your wish this time. Consider it… compensation for the wedding."That damned wedding. My fault. All of it.Maybe ending this marriage was the only way to truly start over. She looked at me then, her eyes searching mine, and for the first time, she saw it—my resolve. No tricks, no games. This was real.Her lashes fluttered, her grip on my collar loosening as she whispered,"So after we land…
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 257 The Cousin
ZeldaOf course I couldn't bear it.I never wanted to compete with Bai Luoxing for anything. She was the one who forced her way into my marriage. Even then, I retreated—step by step, until I'd put an ocean between us.Yet the Bai family still wouldn't let me go. They wanted me dead. How vicious could they be?But Leiy hadn't said much earlier. Even I was only guessing. Did James... already know it was them?My eyes widened in shock. "You knew? Bai Luoxing helped me leave the country, and the Bai family has been hunting me since I landed—"His face darkened at the mention of my escape. "How else do you think I found you?"I pressed my lips together, then let out a cold laugh."Well, color me surprised. I thought even if I accused the Bai family, you'd assume I was just smearing their name out of spite."The pain that flashed across his face was sharp enough to almost make me regret my words. Almost.His chest heaved, and before I could react, his hand shot out, gripping the back of my
