Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 225 – Your ex-husband is behind us

Daisy had idea about anything pertaining to MindNest because, her phone had been confiscated by Alpha Ravyn. Even if she had it, it was unusual for her to have checked the news in the city.

Now, standing there with Damon’s phone in front of her, she realized just how much she had overlooked. The media clips played back to back, voices blending into one another as they spoke about its overwhelming success, the rapid expansion, the way investors were already celebrating massive returns, and with every passing second, something inside her seemed to sink deeper, heavier, like the ground beneath her confidence was quietly crumbling without warning.

Then her eyes caught something that made her breath falter.

It lasted no more than a fleeting moment, barely two seconds, easy to miss if she had blinked at the wrong time, but she didn’t, and that brief capture was enough to change everything she thought she understood.

Seraphine stood beside Voren, composed, equal, untouchable in a way Daisy had never imagined.

The color drained from Daisy’s face almost instantly, her fingers curling slightly at her sides as disbelief tightened around her chest, because this wasn’t just proximity or coincidence.

It meant connection, power, influence, all the things she had convinced herself Seraphine no longer had.

"They’re actually business partners?" she asked, her voice unsteady despite her effort to sound composed, the disbelief slipping through no matter how hard she tried to contain it.

"Now you know," Damon replied calmly as he took the phone back from her, his tone even but carrying a quiet weight that made his words sink deeper than they should have.

"She refused to go into business with Ravyn, and it’s been bothering him more than he lets on, especially since everyone who invested in her is now talking about how much they’ve gained."
