All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

ZeldaIt took me a while to fully grasp what had happened after being questioned at the police station. Piece by piece, I unravelled the chain of events—one more unbelievable than the last.Apparently, right after I left the hospital, Jian had gotten into an argument with Susan Wenger. Typical Jian, I thought, always diving headfirst into chaos. But this time, her recklessness had turned into an unexpected advantage.Jian had called the police on the spot, accusing Susan of bullying, online slander, and orchestrating a plan to incite trouble and blackmail at the hospital. And as if that wasn’t bold enough, she waved the phone of the tall man who had been live-streaming in Susan’s face.I could almost see the scene in my mind: Susan's face shifted from smugness to panic as Jian cornered her. Jian, of course, had been prepared. It seemed Susan had panicked so badly that she sent someone to steal the phone back.The guy she sent? He walked right into Jian’s trap.The police had arrived i

That night, I lay in bed, the soft hum of prenatal education music playing from my phone on the bedside table. I shifted slightly, trying to find a comfortable position when the familiar chime of a massage broke the stillness.Reaching for my phone, I smiled faintly when I saw the sender: Xander Ferguson.It had been a while since I last visited Xander, but we kept in touch through daily messages."What is this kid doing up so late?" I murmured, tapping on the notification to open the message.It was a video.Curious, I clicked on it, but the smile on my face disappeared as I watched the content. My chest tightened, and my eyes widened in disbelief. Without thinking, I replayed the clip, needing to make sure I hadn’t imagined it.Xavier had secretly recorded James standing in their small living room, his expression cold and authoritative. Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Little, and Hellen Ferguson’s game friends—stood there, pale-faced and visibly shaken as James berated them. Moments later, they hur

ZeldaOnce you say something, you can’t take it back—no matter how much you might want to. I sighed, suppressing my frustration, and returned to my room. I grabbed a quilt and marched back to the living room, tossing it onto the sofa where James Ferguson sat with that maddeningly calm expression.“There,” I said curtly, turning on my heel to leave before I could say or do anything else I’d regret.But just as I reached the doorway, a strange sound broke through the quiet.My stomach growled. Loudly.I froze, horrified, as James’s gaze snapped to me. For a moment, we just stared at each other in stunned silence, and then it happened again—a long, drawn-out growl that left no room for denial.My face burned. This was beyond embarrassing. I’d been trying so hard to keep my cool, to maintain some dignity, and now… this?I instinctively covered my stomach, ready to bolt, but James moved faster.He reached out, and before I could react, his warm hand rested on my stomach.“Wh-what are you d

Zelda"Xander is sick. I brought him here."I stood there, uncertain how to face Yassir Hammer.Sensing my tension, he didn’t try to step closer. His voice remained calm, steady.“I tried to contact you these past two days to discuss your brother’s transfer to another hospital, but I couldn’t get through to you.”I pressed my lips together before answering, “Brother, I’m worried that my eldest brother won’t be able to handle the turbulence of the plane and the foreign environment. So I decided to leave him here.”Yassir was startled. “Didn’t we agree before? The research laboratory I told you about is ready to receive patients—”I shook my head firmly, cutting him off. “I won’t trouble you anymore, Senior Brother. I’ve made up my mind. Sorry.”I turned to leave, unwilling to continue this conversation any longer. But before I could take another step, Yassir’s voice—tense, uncertain—reached me from behind."Zelda, do you know something?"I hesitated. Since he brought it up, I might as

I had been so panicked and disoriented that I didn’t realize the arms holding me were so familiar. But then, the deep voice came—"Hiss, let go, it's me." The recognition hit me all at once.It was James.The warmth of his body, the soothing pine scent that lingered in the air, finally grounded me. I’d been so tense, too focused on the chaos, that I hadn't even noticed how close he was.My body sagged into his arms, the tension leaving me as I realized who it was. But then my mind caught up with the situation, and I stiffened again. My heart hammered in my chest, and I bit my lip, still trying to process everything that had just happened. I had bitten him, and the reality of it hit me as I saw the blood."Why is there so much blood?" I blurted, my voice laced with surprise and guilt.I had barely even bitten him that hard, had I? But there it was, blood dripping down his hand, staining it.James shook off his hand, c
