‎She begged for years. ‎On her knees, in tears, swallowing every insult just to keep him. Everyone knew it. Everyone laughed at her. And he? He thought she would never stop. ‎ ‎But the last betrayal was different. It didn't break her, it burned everything she had left for him. This time she didn't cry, didn't argue, didn't even look back. She signed the divorce papers with steady hands and walked away as if he were nothing. ‎ ‎Now the woman who once begged is gone. What's left is colder, sharper, untouchable. And the man who threw her aside is the one who can't sleep, can't move on, can't forgive himself. ‎ ‎He thought she'd never leave. ‎He was wrong. ‎ When obsession turns into desire, when regret collides with lust, how far will he go to taste the woman who no longer belongs to him? ‎

The Billionaire Regret Chapter 1 The Humiliation

‎‎Chapter One

‎‎The lights burned too bright. The music was too loud. The laughter stung like knives. And there I was, on my knees in front of my husband, begging him not to humiliate me.

‎‎"Daniel, please," I whispered, clutching his wrist, my nails biting into his skin as though I could anchor him to me. "Not here. Not like this."

‎‎His lips curled, not in pity but in that cruel smirk I had seen too many times behind closed doors. Tonight, he wanted the world to see it. He wanted them to watch me break.

‎‎Around us, the glittering hall fell silent. I could hear the faint clink of a champagne glass being set down, the faint shuffle of expensive heels against marble. People were staring. They loved it. They lived for it. Ava Reynolds, wife of Daniel Cobbs, the billionaire everyone called untouchable, was on her knees, pleading like a beggar at a royal court.

‎‎Daniel leaned down, close enough for only me to hear, though I knew he wanted me to repeat it aloud. "You should have thought about dignity before marrying me."

‎‎My chest tightened. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.

‎‎Then he yanked his arm free and stepped into the spotlight. The lights hit him, catching the sharp angles of his face. A perfect king in his throne room. And then, with deliberate cruelty, he reached for her.

‎‎Elizabeth Sterl.

‎‎Her gown glittered in silver sequins that clung to her curves. Her smile was soft, innocent to the untrained eye, but to me it was a knife sliding between my ribs. Daniel pulled her forward by the hand. Gasps rippled through the crowd like fire catching dry leaves.

‎‎"What is he doing?"

‎‎"Isn't that Elizabeth Sterl? The model?"

‎‎"They say he's been seen with her..."

‎‎"Oh my God, Ava is right there."

‎‎Every whisper was a dagger. My ears rang as Daniel raised Elizabeth's hand to his lips and kissed it slowly, savoring the sight of me watching. My knees pressed harder against the marble floor, the pain sharp, humiliating, real. He wanted me to hurt. He wanted them to see.

‎‎Then he said the words that shattered everything.

‎‎"Ladies and gentlemen," his voice carried effortlessly across the hall, smooth and steady like he had rehearsed it. "I think it's time to end this charade. I am divorcing Ava Reynolds. Effective immediately."

‎‎The world tilted.

‎‎For a heartbeat, silence. No music, no laughter, no polite coughs. Just a stunned, breathless pause before the room erupted.

‎‎"Divorcing her? Here? Tonight?"

‎‎"Is he insane?"

‎‎"Or maybe she deserves it. You know how these society marriages go."

‎‎"She begged him on her knees. Pathetic."

‎‎"She has no pride left."

‎‎Laughter bubbled, harsh and cruel, mixed with gasps and shrieks. Phones were raised instantly, flashes going off like fireworks. Some recorded me, my humiliation framed forever, while others zoomed in on Daniel's proud stance and Elizabeth's sly little smile.

‎‎"Did you get that? Oh my God, it's going viral already."

‎‎"He dumped her in front of everyone. Savage."

‎‎Elizabeth leaned closer to him, loud enough for me to hear. "You did the right thing." She tilted her head toward me, her eyes glinting. "She never really belonged here."

‎‎I forced my body to move, but it felt like my bones were weighed down with stone. My palms pressed into the floor as I tried to stand. I couldn't. My legs shook too much. People muttered, some sneering, some pitying.

‎‎"Look at her. Can't even get up."

‎‎"She should just walk out with her head high. But no, she clings."

‎‎"Embarrassing."

‎‎Daniel glanced at me once, cold eyes like steel. "You should have known better than to think you could stand at my side."

‎The words sliced deeper than any knife.

‎My throat closed. I wanted to scream, to tell them all the truth, that I had loved him, that I had fought for him, that I had given up everything to stand by him. But nothing came out. Just a strangled breath. My chest heaved, my heart pounded, my vision blurred. The chandeliers above swayed like they were about to fall on me.

‎Whispers kept coming, sharper, faster, twisting tighter around my neck like a noose.

‎"He never loved her."

‎"She was just a stepping stone."

‎"She was always too plain for him."

‎"Elizabeth is a better match anyway."

‎"He destroyed her in front of everyone. Cold."

‎More laughter erupted, louder this time. Some were recording not him, but me, zooming in on my swollen eyes, my trembling hands, my ruined dignity.

‎"She's trending already," someone chuckled.

‎"Headline tomorrow: Billionaire ditches wife for stunning model."

‎"She won't survive this. Not socially. Not financially."

‎My stomach churned. I wanted to vomit, to collapse, to disappear. I thought of every dinner we had attended together, every time I had sat beside him smiling like a perfect wife while he whispered promises in my ear. I thought of how I had defended him when the rumors started, how I had told myself he was too busy to be unfaithful.

‎And here he was, proving me wrong in front of the entire city.

‎Somewhere, a woman laughed. A loud, cruel laugh that cracked against the silence of my breaking.

‎I tried again to stand. My knees buckled. My palms slipped against the polished floor. The crowd gasped, not in sympathy but in hunger, as though my misery fed them.

‎"Poor Ava. She's nothing without him."

‎"Maybe she should crawl out. That would suit her."

‎"Someone should drag her away, she's ruining the party."

‎Daniel didn't flinch. He stood tall with Elizabeth on his arm, basking in the spectacle he had created. My shame was his entertainment.

‎My breath came in shallow bursts. The edges of my vision darkened. My body swayed. I could feel the cold marble against my palms, slick with the sweat of my shame. My knees gave out completely. The room spun, faces blurring into grotesque masks of amusement.

‎I thought I heard someone gasp my name, but maybe it was just my mind reaching for hope that no longer existed.

‎Daniel's voice was the last thing I heard before the darkness swallowed me.

‎"Take her out of here. She doesn't belong."

‎The crowd erupted again. Some cheered his boldness, others whispered in horror. But none of it mattered. My world went black.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
