Semua Bab Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!: Bab 31 - Bab 40

ALEXANDER'S POV The room felt heavy with tension after Astra’s tearful confession and my mother and Susan’s abrupt departure. I sat in silence, my mind racing as I tried to process everything that had just happened. Astra’s sobs had quieted, but her presence still lingered, a reminder of the chaos she had brought into my life. I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to her sudden remorse than she was letting on. But for now, I had bigger things to worry about.My son. Franklin. The boy I hadn’t even known existed until a few days ago. The boy who had called me “Daddy” without even knowing who I was. The thought of him sent a pang of guilt and longing through me. Katherine had kept him from me for six years, and now that I knew the truth, I couldn’t just sit back and let her dictate how this would play out. I needed to see him, to talk to him, to be a part of his life. But how?I glanced at Astra, who was still standing awkwardly in the middle of the room, her eyes red and pu

KATHERINE'S POV"No... Hazel, definitely not!"I was staring at the dress Hazel showcased in front of me and shook my head. There's no way she expected me to wear something like that to the club, no, anywhere.It was a sheer seductive black gown that looked short as hell.Definitely not something a CEO should be caught wearing."Oh come on, Katherine, be open-minded. This is really good, especially for our mission for tonight and what's that mission?"I rolled my eyes at her and shook my head refusing to give in."Come on, say it."I shrugged."Katherine...?""Fine.. to get fucked.""Louder, I can't hear you. What's the mission for tonight?""To get fucked.""To what??!""Get fucked!!" I yelled, finally bursting into laughter."That's the spirit. You need to get fucked and this dress screams everything about your availability to get fucked, not that...," she pointed at the clothes I was wearing with a frown on her face."But this is okay, I mean, it's uhmm, modest?""Right and who fuc

KATHERINE'S POV He turned to look at me And that sad look in his eyes was back as he gave me a little smile."You know who... Him. You came here because of him, right? To show Franklin his father?" I scoffed and shook my head."No, you're getting it all wrong. I will never let my son get close to him. I only came here for one thing and he is not the reason I'm back!"I didn't realize it but I was clutching my fist so tight at the thought of Alexander and Franklin. It wasn't until Charles reached for my hands and patted it lightly that I realized what I was doing."Relax, you're about to break your fingers just thinking about him."I shook my head and turned to stare at the door, observing the people in the bar."Katherine...""Charles, please... I just... I don't want to talk about anything right now. Please, I came here just..to forget about everything. Please, okay?"He stared at me for a while before finally nodding his head."Okay.. fine. Let's not talk about the past. How are y

KATHERINE'S POV As soon as I walked inside the door, I slammed it shut and I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. My back pressed against the cool wood, my fingers trembling slightly as I replayed the confrontation with Alexander in my head. Why was he here? Why did he have to see me with Charles? And most importantly, why did I feel like I just got caught cheating on him?Which was ridiculous because I never belonged to Alexander and I never will.I let out a sigh and slid off the door to the ground as the image of Alexander's face as he stared at me with Charles danced around my head."Oh well, look who's here," Hazel's Sharp voice interrupted my thoughts and I opened my eyes to see her at the foot of the stairs, staring at me like she was expecting me to be here."Hazel.." I called softly, and as if she could feel my frustration, she walked towards me hurriedly, with a frown on her face."What's wrong, Katherine? What happened? Did someone drug you? Force you to dri

KATHERINE'S POV Sleep didn’t come. My eyelids were heavy, and my legs were exhausted, yet still, sleep refused to take me.No matter how many times I toss and turn, no matter how tightly I squeeze my eyes shut, my mind refuses to quiet. It was loud, really loud but that wasn't the only issue. If it were just loud with other random thoughts then I would have been able to endure the tossing and turning.But it was not.Alexander’s face keeps flashing behind my eyelids, the way his jaw tightened when he saw Charles, the dark flicker in his eyes, like a storm rolling in. And then there’s Charles, his easy smile, the warmth of his hand on my back. Two men. Two completely different but somewhat similar worlds, both linked to me in their different ways.And yet, my stupid heart won’t stop racing for the wrong one. The one who shattered it into pieces years ago, the one who burned my love until it turned to ashes.I groan and sit up, rubbing my temples. The clock on my nightstand reads
