Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Regret: Rise Of The Boss Lady : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

****Megan's POV****It was time and the show had just begun.I stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room admiring the black glittering dress that hugged my body.“Wow, you look absolutely stunning,” Kai said, walking in. I spun around to see him staring at the dress dreamingly.“Thank you.” I smiled widely. “How’s everything going out there?”He made a sign with his fingers. “Going great, you'll be called in soon. Are you ready?”“Almost…” the make-up artist interrupted. “Sorry, I just need to touch up your make-up a bit.”Kai nodded, winking at me. “Make sure she looks her best self as always.” I smirked, shaking my head.*******An hour later, Kai and I stood by each other's side as the curtains opened, revealing us to the waiting crowd and elite as we stood at the high end of the stairs.Arms crossed.“Are you ready?” Kai whispered and I turned to him, smiling.“Let's do this.”“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the mysterious Raven of Raven Vogue, Megan Cassano,” the host's

****Megan’s POV****The moment the grand opening ceremony ended, the moment the cameras finally stopped flashing in my face, the moment the noise died down… I swear my whole body just collapsed from the inside. I didn’t even wait for the crowd to clear before I hurried into the car and let Kai drive us home.As soon as the front door closed behind me, I let out a long breath I didn’t know I was holding.“Are you okay?” Kai asked from behind me. His tone was calm, too calm, like he already knew the answer.“Yeah…” I whispered, kicking off my heels and rubbing my sore ankles. “That was less messy than I thought. Thanks for having my back all through.”Kai walked past me and gently patted my back like he was trying to wake me from a bad dream.“You did great,” he said. “Now we wait…”He smirked—one of those slow, annoying smirks that revealed too much even though he wasn’t talking.I frowned. “Why do I feel like you’re more excited about this than I am?”He stepped closer, taking slow ste

****Megan's POV****Sleep never felt this far from reach and scarce. It wasn’t just the usual tiredness; it felt like my mind had run a marathon without my body moving at all. My thoughts had kept looping, replaying everything happening around me, all the noise, all the attention, all the drama I wished I could mute.I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing endlessly, its buzzing tone becoming the only alarm clock I apparently listened to these days. I didn’t even remember plugging it in last night, but there it was—fully charged, loud, and annoying.Endless messages. Calls and emails from blogs, reporters, and some unknown numbers that I didn’t even bother checking.And Kai.His name sat right there on the missed call list.He had left really late last night, after spending hours listening to me rant, cry, laugh, rant again—basically go through the human emotional spectrum twice. So seeing a missed call from him so early was strange. Kai barely slept, but even he wasn’t the type to

****Megan's POV****Morning crept in too fast. I had barely slept, and the memory of Joe showing up out of nowhere kept replaying in my head — the picture of his face and that vain smirk on the side of his lips that said he knew me too well.It annoyed me that he still thought of me as weak and easy. I’d show him I wasn’t that innocent, naïve girl he broke in the past.For this, I needed Kai’s help, but I needed to resolve things first before bringing him into it. Else, things could get messy.I sighed, unwrapping myself from the bedsheets. It was yet another day, and I had to face the world as a fighter, a single mom, and a business tycoon — a façade I had built.My mornings were always the same: shower, dress up, visit the kids’ room, kiss their cheeks before they left for school, and finally take a few minutes to breathe and reflect.When I finally checked my phone, I saw missed calls from Kai.Before I could call him back, the doorbell rang.“I’ll go check who’s at the door,” Kath

****Megan’s POV****I stared at the note on my desk; it had been sitting there for days now, and yet all I could do was stare. I still couldn’t bring myself to call the number written on it.Family was everything, they said, but mine had sold me off and abandoned me. Was there still anything left to call family? I couldn’t even bring myself to answer that question.My mind wandered uselessly—from the number on the desk staring back at me to Kai, who had been completely ignoring me these past days. He hadn’t called, nor checked in, and that alone had put my mind in a fix. I regretted yelling at him that morning. Maybe I should’ve reacted softer.I sighed and reached for the telephone that started ringing loudly.“Yes?”“Ma’am,” my secretary’s voice came through. “Just calling to remind you of your appointment by 10 a.m. with Mr. J.”“The one his wife booked a measurement session for, right?”“Yes. He’s waiting in the waiting room for you.”“Alright. Sorry, my mind wanders endlessly. In
