Amelia didn’t realize when the tears stopped.

Only that they had.

Somewhere between Daniel’s steady voice, the quiet reassurance in his words, and the warmth of his hands holding hers, the storm inside her had softened, receded just enough for her to breathe again.

Her chest still rose unevenly, her lashes still damp, but the overwhelming weight that had crushed her moments ago had shifted into something… quieter.

Not gone.

Just… contained.

But her heart.

That was another story.

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 152- Lunch With My Girl

    Daniel would soon realized he wasn’t the only one distracted by love.He simply happened to be the happier victim of it.For what felt like the hundredth time that morning, he caught himself smiling for absolutely no reason as he walked through the grand lobby of Carter Global Holdings.Employees greeted him respectfully as always, but more than one person did a double take.Their usually composed CEO looked…Happy.Genuinely happy.Daniel adjusted the knot of his tie as he stepped into his private office, only to be met by the amused smile of his secretary.“Feeling good today, sir?”Daniel looked up from straightening his cufflinks.“Is it that obvious?”She nodded without hesitation.“Very obvious, sir.”He chuckled, shaking his head.“Well… what can I say?”She folded her arms, pretending to study him.“I’ve worked for you for years.”“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile this much before ten in the morning.”Daniel laughed again.“I suppose some things are worth smiling about.”

    The movie quickly became nothing more than a blur of moving colors and distant voices.Neither of them had any idea what was happening on the screen anymore.Amelia shifted on Daniel’s lap until she was sitting sideways against him, her back resting comfortably against his chest. The warmth of his embrace surrounded her almost instantly, and the familiar scent of cedarwood and fresh linen settled around her like a comforting blanket.For a while, neither of them spoke.Daniel simply held her.His hand rested naturally on her waist, his thumb absentmindedly tracing slow circles against the fabric of her pajamas. Every gentle stroke made Amelia’s heartbeat quicken just a little more.“Daniel…”Her voice was barely above a whisper.“Hm?”She slowly turned in his arms until they were facing each other.Their eyes met.Neither of them looked away.There was laughter lingering between them from only moments before, but something quieter had settled in its place now.Something deeper.Someth

    Daniel couldn’t stop smiling as he watched Amelia take another spoonful of lasagna.The moment it touched her tongue, she closed her eyes in pure delight.“That good?” he asked, thoroughly enjoying every one of her reactions.She answered with nothing more than a series of enthusiastic nods before taking another bite.Daniel chuckled.“Then eat some more. I made it for you.”Amelia swallowed before pointing her fork at him.“You know you’re going to spoil me if you keep this up.”“That’s exactly what I intend to do.”There wasn’t the slightest hint of teasing in his voice.He meant every word.Judging by the way Amelia suddenly became interested in her plate, she knew it too.A soft blush slowly crept across her cheeks.Daniel smiled to himself.There was a brief, comfortable silence before he spoke again.“Would you like to stay the night?”Silence.He immediately realized how that might have sounded.“I mean…”He rubbed the back of his neck.“It’s completely alright if you’d rather—

    Grocery shopping turned out to be far easier than either of them had expected.Between Daniel’s organized shopping list and Amelia’s determination to throw anything that looked appetizing into the cart, they were back at the checkout in no time.“Do we really need all of this?” Daniel asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at the overflowing basket.“We absolutely do.”“We’re only making lasagna.”“And?”“And lasagna deserves dessert.”Daniel narrowed his eyes playfully.“I don’t remember agreeing to dessert.”Amelia gasped dramatically.“You don’t?”“No.”She pointed toward the freezer section.“Then allow me to convince you.”Before Daniel could stop her, she had already skipped over to the ice cream freezers.A few moments later, she returned triumphantly, holding up a tub of vanilla ice cream.“A light dessert,” she declared proudly.Daniel looked from the ice cream to her hopeful face.“…Light?”She nodded with complete confidence.“Very light.”He laughed.“I don’t think that’s

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 148- Grocery Shopping for Two

    Daniel had noticed Amelia’s unusual behavior almost the moment she stepped into his car.He had picked her up from Hart Corporation looking forward to nothing more than spending a quiet evening with his girlfriend. They had both been buried in work over the past two days, and although it hadn’t been long since they made their relationship official, he had missed her more than he cared to admit.He had counted down the hours until he could see her.Yet from the moment she settled into the passenger seat, she seemed… distracted.She smiled whenever he looked at her.She answered his questions.But every few minutes, she let out another thoughtful sigh.By the fifth one, Daniel couldn’t ignore it anymore.He glanced at her briefly before returning his eyes to the road.“Your sighs are getting louder, babe.”He smiled to himself.“Want to tell me what’s wrong?”Amelia’s head snapped toward him so quickly that he almost laughed.“…What did you just call me?”Daniel tried his best to look i

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 147- An Unexpected Call

    Amelia walked straight back to her office after leaving the café.The moment she sat down in her chair, her conversation with Roy Laurent replayed itself in her mind.She couldn’t quite explain it, but the man unsettled her.There had been something about him…Something calculating.Something dangerous.He struck her as the kind of man who never accepted defeat, the type who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.And people like that rarely gave up quietly.A shiver ran down her spine.She had dealt with all kinds of businessmen over the years, but Roy Laurent was different.There was a darkness behind his polite smile that made her instincts tell her to stay as far away from him as possible.“The last thing I need is more trouble,” she murmured to herself.With a quiet sigh, she pushed the thought aside.That was a problem for another day.Her eyes drifted toward the clock on the wall.Less than three hours remained before Daniel would come to pick her up for dinner.Her lips c

    Nothing.Absolutely nothing.Could have prepared Amelia for the walk down that red carpet.Not books.Not movies.Not even the quiet confidence she had built before stepping out of that car.Because the moment her heel touched the carpet.The world exploded.Flashes.Blinding, relentless flashes of
