The Billionaire's Regret: Winning Back His Lost Love The Archer Legacy
Katnis: The mansion wasn’t just grand—it was more like a Roman-era palace. Every corner screamed majesty and tradition, with thick tension lingering in the air, heavy as the intricate drapes adorning the walls."Come," Christopher’s voice carried authority, but there was a softness to it as well.“Your grandmother is at the hospital for a routine check-up. She’ll be here in a few hours. You should rest—you must be exhausted,” he added, his gaze steady.I nodded silently.“Maids, escort them to their rooms,” Christopher directed.“Yes, Sir.”“This way, Miss, Sir,” one of the maids gestured toward the sprawling staircase.Behind us, other staff members gathered our belongings—several suitcases, trunks, and personal items. Moving into the Archer estate for an indefinite period felt surreal. It was a chance to rebuild everything from scratch, a life reborn amidst layers of judgment.Before we could ascend, a sharp voice cut through the air, halting us in place.“So, that’s your daughter?

Chapter 1Katniss“Get away! Let me in! I am still his wife,” I exclaimed, slamming my hand on the broad chest of the bodyguard barring my way. After ten minutes of hysterical begging, I finally forced the door open.I cried helplessly, tears streaming down my face. Everyone in the room looked at me with disgust.“That woman! Why is she here?” Their murmurs cut through me like blades.This should have been the happiest day of my life. My husband, who had left for a business trip five months ago, was now returning home. But now, standing in the doorway, I witnessed the unthinkable: he was marrying another woman—the very woman who had schemed to drive us apart. She had always been a loser, but now she had won.I strode forward, my face burning with anger, and slapped her hard across the cheek.SLAP!If I hadn't overheard the maids gossiping, I would never have known about their secret wedding. But why? How could he betray me like this?She winced, clamping her mouth shut to stifle a gas

Five years later...My breath caught as his hand slid along my waist, caressing my stomach. His lips teased the side of my face, then moved to my ear, kissing softly. I heard him whisper in his deep voice, "The first time I saw you in the club, I knew I wanted to have a one-night stand with you."I closed my eyes, unable to stop a single tear from falling. My toes curled, wanting to push the body above me away and run from there. But I had no other choice.My daughter had just finished treatment at the hospital, but she wasn't allowed to go home because I hadn't yet paid off the hospital bills. I work as a fashion designer, but this month's salary hasn't come in because the company is going through a crisis, and my boss absolutely refuses to give me an advance.And here I am now. In a cheap hotel with a stranger whose name I don't even know. I need money fast! Following advice from a friend who secured my company, I made up my mind to sell my body because I was informed that it was hi

Katniss“Uncle!” Giselle shouted. A faint smile flickered on his face as he turned towards her, but it vanished the moment his eyes met mine. His body stiffened, eyes widening as he silently mouthed my name. “Katniss.” That’s James ... my ex-husband.“Aww, Mommy, it hurts.” I snapped out of my thoughts and released Giselle's hand. I knelt to check her hand, realizing I had held it too tightly.“Sweetie, I’m sorry." I dared not turn my head as I heard footsteps approaching, his silhouette coming into view.“Uncle!” Giselle called out again, joy in her voice, unaware this man was one of the reasons for our suffering.“Katniss,” he called again, reaching out his hand to help me stand. I stared coldly at his outstretched hand before standing on my own. We locked eyes in silence.“Thank you,” I said coldly. “Giselle said you brought her back.”James hesitated, glancing between Giselle and me. His gaze held deep sorrow and regret, but I dismissed it. There’s no way this heartless man could

JamesMy heart dropped when Mr. Corleone announced that Katniss would soon be Mrs. Corleone. Since when was she involved with one of the most powerful CEOs in Europe? Questions swarmed my mind.“Pardon, sir?” Katniss looked just as shocked, her expression puzzled. A flicker of hope sparked within me.Mr. Corleone chuckled, glancing at Katniss before looking back at me. “Just a joke. The atmosphere was tense, and I was trying to lighten the mood,” he explained. “Or maybe not?” he added with a small laugh, making it clear he was joking. Katniss responded with a faint smile."Ah," Katniss said, her smile barely there. My heart burned with jealousy. What was happening? Why did I feel this way?"I was really shocked. I thought my ex-wife had already found my replacement," I blurted out, locking eyes with Mr. Corleone, a silent challenge hanging in the air. It was as if I was staking a claim, reminding him that Katniss had once been mine.“James,” Katniss protested softly, my words making t

Katniss"So... he's your ex-husband, isn't he?" Mr. Corleone's sudden question startled me. I had been lost in thought, and the worst part was that I had been thinking about the very person Mr. Corleone wanted to discuss.I didn’t answer right away. The last thing I wanted was to dig up the past. But my boss stared at me with a curious intensity. I wasn’t sure why, but after working with him for so long, I’d learned one thing—he was always curious about my life. About other people? Mr. Corleone hardly cared. In fact, he didn’t care at all.Maybe it was because I was his personal assistant, and he thought getting to know me better would make our interactions smoother, more relaxed. A part of me suspected he was trying to blur the lines between boss and assistant, creating an easier flow in our work relationship."Do we really need to talk about this, sir?" I asked, forcing a smile. It was hard, considering how uncomfortable the topic was.Mr. Corleone seemed to read my expression, and

KatnissI gave him a confused look, tilting my head slightly. “Of course, sir,” I replied to his earlier question.A subtle smirk tugged at the corner of Mr. Corleone’s lips. His gaze fixed ahead, the car already in motion as we pulled away. I turned my attention forward as well, but faintly, I heard him murmur.“That will change.”I snapped my head back toward him, startled. “Excuse me, sir? Did you say something?” I asked, needing clarification.I had caught a glimpse of his words, but their meaning eluded me. Was he talking about our talking about ‘friends’ earlier? But Mr. Corleone remained silent, his focus entirely on the road ahead. I shrugged it off, refusing to dwell on it.***James“Wait!” Liam Kent’s voice cut through the air just before I disappeared from his sight. "It’s been so long since we’ve talked. Don’t you miss your sweet older brother?" He spoke with that sickeningly sweet tone, exaggerated on purpose.I stopped in my tracks, hearing his footsteps growing closer.

Katniss"Come on, sweetie."Giselle nodded, and I took her tiny hand as we stepped out of the apartment. But I froze instantly. Someone was already standing at our door."Oh my God! Mr. Corleone, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" I gasped, clutching my chest. He simply smiled, completely unfazed."Heading out?" His voice was calm, almost too casual for the way my heart was racing."Uncle! It’s the same uncle from yesterday," Giselle exclaimed, eyes wide with recognition."What brings you here so early?" I asked, trying to catch my breath and make sense of his sudden appearance.He glanced at me briefly, then crouched down to Giselle’s level. "Good morning, Giselle. Did you sleep well?" His voice softened as he addressed her, his gaze kind and warm.Giselle nodded shyly. "Yes, Uncle."Yesterday, he’d introduced us to his family, as promised. Giselle had been hesitant at first, but now... now there was something different. They had connected in a way that seemed almost too easy, too fa

Katniss:“There will be a lot of people coming. Journalists—they’ll be covering it all.”“What? Why?” I stared at Christopher, my eyes full of protest. “I thought this was supposed to be low-key.”Christopher sighed. “I’m the number one businessman in this country, Katniss. News of my missing child spread across the nation for years. And now, rumors about you being found are everywhere. People are curious—very curious.”“I don’t like this,” I said, my voice low.The weight of my past pulled at me. I felt the memories creeping in, suffocating. James must have noticed because his gaze softened as it moved to my trembling hands.“Katniss…” His deep voice steadied me as he spoke.“You were born for this,” he continued. “I know you’ve endured so much—especially after what happened in the past, being chased by the media during our scandal. But this is different. They won’t look at you with judgment anymore. They’ll look at you with respect.”He squeezed my hands gently, his warmth seeping i
The Billionaire's Regret: Winning Back His Lost Love The Heir Of Archer Empire
James:I never expected that Katniss would turn to me and put her life in my hands in such a way. What she said resonated in the very core of my being."You... Katniss..." I had a lot of trouble trying to create whole sentences. For the first time I could ever remember I found myself with no real response."In your family..." Katniss started speaking quietly, her voice heavy with truth and bitterness. "I know that there is a mastermind behind their cruelty, a sinister person who has filled their hearts with hatred and malice."I tightened my hands into fists when her words finally sunk in. I had an idea whom she was talking about all this time. Emma.”Emma,” she said with a sneer as if she was spitting out the name.For a second, the steel in Katniss’s expression gave way. “Regardless of all the suffering that your father and brother inflicted on you, deep inside you still harbor warmth towards them,” she said.Such of ch words awakened mixed emotions in me – resentment, and sadness,
The Billionaire's Regret: Winning Back His Lost Love Because You've Already Proven Yourself To Me, James
Katniss:We finally returned to the hotel."Careful," I warned him as he tried to lie down on the bed.James smiled at me. “I’m fine, sayang. Don’t worry. It’s just bruises. I’ll be better in a week," he said so casually, as if I hadn’t seen how close he was to death just hours ago.“When you were almost… dead?” I asked, my voice shaking with fear. “No, James,” I replied, and he let out a light chuckle. I sighed heavily in relief.“Is there anything you need?” I asked, trying to care for him as best as I could.James shook his head. “Go to Giselle’s room. She probably wants you to stay with her tonight. I’ll wait here. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”I tilted my head slightly, my curiosity piqued. “About what?” I responded.He shook his head. “Later.”Sighing, I nodded. “Alright, I’ll tuck Giselle in first.”“Mhhm,” he answered.An hour later, I returned to the room, expecting James to be asleep by now. But when I entered, he was still awake. Even in his pain, he was
The Billionaire's Regret: Winning Back His Lost Love Granpa Is Not A Bad Person, Giselle
James:I tried to open my eyes. I felt exhausted and even my muscles were sore as if I had been pinned to the ground with large stones. I smelled a familiar smell. I finally tried to open my eyes and my guess was right, I was in the hospital. Turning my head to the side, a faint smile tugged at my lips. Giselle was sleeping on my chest, her breathing steady. Katniss, on the other hand, was sitting beside me, holding my hand tightly even in her sleep.But my gaze didn’t stop there. Someone else caught my attention—Mr. Archer. My forehead creased in confusion."What’s he doing here? Did Katniss call him?" I wondered. But that didn’t make sense. Katniss despised him. There was still too much anger and disappointment in her heart toward him. Before I could think further, I heard a soft sound.“Emhh…” Katniss stirred. Her eyes blinked open, and she sat up straight the moment she realized I was awake."You’re awake?!" she asked, her voice sharp with shock.I smiled gently and nodded. "Slow

Katniss: “Stop it! Please, stop it!” I screamed hearing my voice crack, pleading with them to release James to us . “James, no!” I could only scream in an effort and with a lifted head, and for a second he looked at me. He was overwhelmed by a blend of pain and apologies before they shut until he fell into unconsciousness. “Enough!” His father ordered then pointedly; an order laced with resentment. But the blows kept coming. Over and over, they attacked him again and again, savagely. In despair, I turned to his father and my voice became louder. “Do something—he’s going to die!” I was sobbing and the veil of hate mixed with desperate anxiety burned through my face as I shouted. James’s father paused for a while without saying anything. Then, with astonished steps, he approached Liam quickly and pulled the man's sleeve, forcing him to back up. “I said, stop it!” He barked this out and instantly, silence dropped like a curtain. Liam breathed hard and was still seething; his hands
The Billionaire's Regret: Winning Back His Lost Love We Must Face This Together!
Katniss:It's been a few days since that man's arrival. I've already looked into who he is, who that man really is. Christopher Archer. One of the top 10 richest people in the world. How could I not be shocked? All this time, I thought my father had passed away because my mother said so. But it turns out I was completely wrong. I still don’t know what made my mother keep this a secret, what caused them to separate. I was still lost in my own thoughts until I could hear James’s footsteps behind me, and then he suddenly stood beside me, murmuring softly, "Are you okay, Katniss? You’ve seemed so down these past few days. I’m really worried," he said, gently cradling my head before pressing a soft kiss on my forehead. I closed my eyes, savoring the warmth he gave me, before finally looking up at his face, filled with concern. I tried to smile, though it felt so heavy. "I don't know, James. Everything just changed so quickly. All that’s happened... it’s too much. My disappointment i
The Billionaire's Regret: Winning Back His Lost Love I'm Your Father
JamesMy phone buzzed in my pocket, shattering the warm silence between us. I sighed, already anticipating who it might be. The name flashing on the screen confirmed my suspicions."Dad," I greeted as I answered, keeping my tone steady.His voice came through sharp and direct, and the moment I heard the clipped edge to his words, my stomach tightened. He wanted something, and he wasn’t the type to ask lightly.I listened, my brow furrowing with each word. A tight knot formed in my chest, but I let him finish before responding. “Alright,” I said, my voice as calm as I could muster. “We’ll see you soon.”I ended the call, my fingers gripping the phone harder than necessary. Turning to Katniss, I forced a smile, though I could see she wasn’t fooled."That was my dad," I began, pausing for a moment to gauge her reaction. "He… he wants us to come to New York.”“Let’s go there with me and Giselle, Katniss,” he said.Her eyes widened slightly. I knew this wouldn’t be easy for her. Hell, it w
The Billionaire's Regret: Winning Back His Lost Love Thank For This Happiness
RenataNews of Katniss and Ethan's divorce spread quickly. When I first heard it, an overwhelming wave of anger crashed into my heart. I didn’t like it. I really didn’t like it.Their divorce meant a huge opportunity for James and Katniss to be together again. And that was something I could not accept. They were already bound together in a never-ending cycle, and now everything seemed to be falling into place for them.I sat in the living room, trying to calm myself, but the news kept haunting my thoughts. As I stayed focused on that, my attention was drawn to Scarlett, who looked far too pleased about this situation. Her wide grin—full of satisfaction, maybe even joy—only made me more annoyed.“You seem really happy. This is exactly what you’ve been waiting for, isn’t it?” I said, opening the conversation. Scarlett just stared at me, offering me a smug look.“Are you sure you’re going to get what you want? You really think you’ll get Ethan?” I asked, not hiding the jealousy in my ton
