Billionaire's Regret Finding Her (Caitlin and Sebastian) novel Chapter 715

Chapter 715

“I know. But I’m not afraid.”

She rose on her toes and brushed her lips lightly against his.

“You’re asking for this.”

Simon had once planned to wait until their wedding night, to save that first time for something perfect and sacred. But now, with her looking at him like that, he knew he couldn’t wait any longer.

“That’s right.” Molly smiled, her eyes bright and steady. “So tell me–do you love me or not?”

She had prepared so much for this moment. There was no turning back now. In her heart, there was only one thought–to be his woman.

“I love you, Molly.”

His voice was low, unwavering. How much he loved her, perhaps only he himself truly knew. From the first indifferent encounter, to the storms they had endured together, he had fallen for her completely, hopelessly, and beyond redemption.

All he wanted in this life was to be with her, to protect her from every hurt in the world.

His words burned through her like fire. Molly’s heart raced so fast she could barely breathe. In the next instant, he pulled her close, and their lips met in a long, fervent kiss, one that carried all the feelings they had kept locked away for too long.

At last, Molly felt his love, raw and undeniable. Her chest swelled with joy and heat, so much that she wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

Men had pursued her before, but none had ever moved her. With people she didn’t love, even a touch felt unbearable.

But Simon was different. From the moment she met him, she had been lost.

She had chased him shamelessly, fearlessly, until she finally won him. Looking back now, she felt both proud and overwhelmed by how far she had come.

Their first taste of love was clumsy and intense. Simon was gentle, careful, as though she might break under

his touch.

Molly gave herself completely, melting into his tenderness, letting him in, body and soul. And in that moment, she crossed the line from girl to woman.

She had no regrets. She loved Simon and wanted to spend the rest of her life by his side.

At the seaside villa, Caitlin and Sebastian had shared a night of warmth and passion.

The next morning, after breakfast–one Sebastian had cooked himself–the butler came to report that an elderly man claiming to be Sebastian’s friend was waiting for them in the manor’s sitting room.

“It must be Reginald.”

They exchanged a look and drove straight back to Vanderbilt Manor.

When they entered, Lucy was already waiting. On the sofa sat Reginald, disheveled and pale, his face drawn with exhaustion.

“Reginald.”

They hurried forward. The old man lifted his head weakly, his voice rasping. “You’re finally here…”

“Did you finish the translation?” Caitlin asked anxiously.

Reginald nodded and shakily pulled a stack of papers from his coat. He handed them to her. The pages were stained with fresh blood, every ancient symbol carefully annotated in his handwriting.

“Reginald, what happened-”

“Don’t interrupt me!” he gasped, though his eyes still gleamed with excitement. “I’ve figured it out… It’s not the Shard of Life. It’s Seradulf. That was the name of Atlantis’s king. The Codex- it carries his message.”

He spoke haltingly, his breath uneven, but his tone burned with discovery.

“To preserve the kingdom’s glory, the High Priest performed a forbidden ritual and angered the gods. The skies changed, the earth quaked, and the seas turned violent. The fall of Atlantis was inevitable.

General Yarbrough fled with Seradulf’s son, Thalren, to another continent. If the descendants of the Yuncey bloodline can read The Codex, it means they have inherited the knowledge of the royal garments. Once a Yuncey heir dons the royal attire and reaches the location marked on the map, the spirit of Atlantis will answer them. The gateway to the royal treasury will reveal itself, and within lies enough wealth to rebuild the kingdom from its ashes…”

“Reginald, stop! Please!” Caitlin cried, rushing to steady him. “Call an ambulance, now!”

“It’s… no use,” the old man whispered, a faint smile trembling on his lips as blood welled at the corner of his mouth. “To have… deciphered The Codex… I die content… my dear wife…”

His voice faded, and his hand slipped from hers.

The room went silent.

Lucy gasped, her voice shaking. “Madam… I don’t know what happened. He arrived early this morning, asking for you. We didn’t notice anything strange outside, so we brought him in. Then suddenly–this…”

Sebastian’s face darkened, fury tightening every muscle in his jaw. “Whoever did this will pay.”

Caitlin’s chest ached. Reginald had been eccentric, but kind—and now he was gone, because of something that began with her.

She looked down at the bloodstained papers in her hands, her heart twisting painfully.

Sebastian placed a hand on her shoulder. “I’ll take care of this. You need to stay calm and think about our next

move.”

Caitlin stood still for a long moment. Her gaze drifted over the blurred red ink and ancient words, her mind turning. Then, slowly, her eyes hardened with resolve.

“I want to see Cecilia,” she said at last.

Now that she knew the truth hidden in The Codex, she held the power in her hands. It was time to face the woman at the center of it all.
