Harriett Edwards has been in love with Damien Daniels since childhood, so when both their parents arrange for them to be married, she gladly accepts even though she was well aware that it wasn't what Damien wanted. For the three years of their marriage, she devoted her life to him with the hope that she would be able to change his mind and eventually get him to fall in love with her. 
It all comes crashing down when someone fabricates a picture of her cheating with Damien's brother, Adrian. After seeing the pictures, he coldly said. "I want a divorce!" 
And even when she confessed her love to him, his reply was cold and hurtful. "I know. It doesn't matter. I don't love you."
What he didn't know was that in her hand were pregnancy test results from a mistake he made due to his drunken state. 
Years later, they both meet at a friend's wedding and he is shocked to see her with a set of identical twins that looked just like him.
"Are they mine?" He asked.
Harriett laughed and replied, remembering his own words. "It doesn't matter, Damien. They don't need a father."

THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET

　　Harriett found her feet glued to the ground as she stared at the angelic face of her ex mother-in-law.


　　Her plan was to attend Evan's wedding and quietly return to Paris as she was not ready to face Damien's family. But, with the couple now seated a few steps away from her, she knew that there was no way out of this.


　　"Mother?" Her voice came out in a low whisper. Stacy left her seat and rushed to Harriett, engulfing her in a tight hug. Harriett's guilt made her unable to return the hug as she just stood with her eyes stinging with unshed tears.


　　"My goodness, Harriett. You have no idea how much I have missed you." Stacy pulled out of the hug and held Harriett's face with her palm.


　　"You look… different." Stacy confessed with a heavy heart. She couldn't deny the fact that even with the unshed tears in her eyes, Harriett still looked happier than when she was married to Julian. Even her body was no longer frail.
