Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion)

Chapter 276 I Don't Regret Marrying You.

Orion quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. He pleaded, "Seraphina, listen to me!" Seraphina fought the urge to curse at him. What's wrong with him right now?

Orion held her wrist firmly, his hand cool and unyielding.

"I'm not sure whether you believe me, but I truly regret it. If... If only I had another chance-

Before he could finish, Seraphina cut him off coldly. Her eyes betrayed the deep pain she could no longer suppress.

"Orion, for years. I've had nightmares about all the things that happened in the past. Ever since I met you. I haven't had a single day of happiness."

Whether Orion regretted his divorce, it no longer matters to her. Seraphina could never undo the three years of suffering she endured. In a way, his regret felt almost laughable now.

Orion's body stiffened. Her broken, anguished tone hit him like a shockwave. The pain in her eyes was something he couldn't even bear to look at.

All of that pain-he had caused it

Yet he had been completely unaware.

Looking at him now, with his chiseled features, sharp jawline, and perfect nose, Seraphina realized she had once been deeply infatuated with this man.

Now, all she wanted was to get as far away from him as possible.

She quickly masked the pain on her face. Her expression turned indifferent as her gaze shifted ahead. She forced a smile.

"You don't need to feel sorry for me. There's no reason to regret anything. It's all in the past now. As long as we can go our separate ways peacefully, that's enough

She thought Orion's regret was because he had finally learned the truth about her inability to swim. Maybel he felt guilty for that.

It wasn't necessarily. From the start, it had all been one-sided. And that moment when he had rushed toward her on the streets of Etopia

Still, she had no intention of bringing it up.

With a slight narrowing of her eyes, Seraphina turned and got into the car waiting for her.

Orion wanted to run after her, but his legs felt heavy. When he remembered the cold, unfamiliar look Seraphina had given him, he realized-what right did he have to chase her? He stood there and watched the car disappear before finally turning and walking away.

Later, at the bar.

Lucius stood up. Orion's sudden appearance startled him.

"Orion, didn't you have dinner with Seraphina's family Why are you here all of a sudden?"

It wasn't often that the group of friends got together. If he could help, Orion would never miss it.

This time, though, he hadn't planned to join and proudly claimed he had to meticulously prepare for a dinner.

The mention of Seraphina's name darkened Orion's expression. A heavy weight settled in his chest, causing a deep, throbbing pain.

He walked over there and sat down without a word. The room quickly fell silent.

Orion grabbed the vodka bottle in front of him and tipped it back, drinking straight from it. His entire presence was cold and intimidating, a heavy air of brooding intensity surrounding him.

The sight of him like this sent a chill through the room, startling everyone around him.

"Mr. Dros, did something happen? Did Seraphina give you a difficult time?"

A clueless young man beside him piped up. Having heard Lucius mention Seraphina earlier, he immediately assumed she had rejected Orion.

Orion's expression darkened. His eyes filled with a stormy intensity. His grip on the bottle tightened slightly.

Lucius frowned and tried to stop that guy from continuing, but it was too late to stop him.

"That woman just doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. The man said, oblivious to the danger. "She's someone you didn't even want before, and now she's just a divorcee. Everyone knows that. You're doing her a favor by even showing up. Who does she think she is when she gives you attitude?"

Lucius clicked his tongue and covered his face with his hand,

This guy is done for! There's no way he could survive in their circle now, not with a mouth like that.
