MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE
“If we were both in danger, who do you think Jared would save first?” She suddenly asked.
“What?”
I didn't have the opportunity to process her words because the next minute, I felt a push on my back and lost balance, skidding off the stairs to land at the base of the stairs.
*****************
Arielle had it all – a thriving career as a talented chef and a successful marriage to a Billionaire. While her husband was aloof by nature, she believed he cared for her deeply. She was content with their relationship, and appreciated what they shared.
A day to their third wedding anniversary, she discovered she was pregnant and was filled with excitement and hope. She eagerly anticipated sharing this news with her husband, certain it would bring positive changes to their family and perhaps even soften his reserved demeanor.
However, fate had other plans. Before she could reveal her pregnancy, an unexpected figure from her husband's past emerged – his “old friend”.
As this newcomer made her way into their lives, unbeknownst to Arielle, this unexpected arrival would challenge everything she thought she knew about her marriage, her husband,
and herself.

Chapter: Chapter 406(DWAYNE’S POV.) Arielle walked up to the entrance of the bar and stopped, her face etched with uncertainty. We held each other’s gazes in silence. The wind whipped her hair up to her face and she held it away from her eyes. I fought the urge to reach out and pull her under the shade of the building

Chapter: Chapter 405(DWAYNE’S POV.) For moments after Arielle spoke I remained silent, clenching and unclenching my fists in fury. I gritted my teeth so hardly they might have turned into fine power under the pressure. Nothing made sense. Jared opened his mouth to speak and closed it. Arielle remained silent herself,

Chapter: Chapter 404(DWAYNE'S POV)I strode into the room, my eyes locking onto Jared. The anger burned low in my gut, rising with every step, threatening to snap its leash. I had known. My instincts had screamed at me, warning me that something was off. And of course, Brown had tipped me off just in time—restless, pacing, sensing an intruder before I even stepped onto the property. Jared. I knew he would do this. Bypass me. Come straight to Arielle. Because he knew exactly what he wanted—to take her away. To convince her to take the risk. Arielle stood calm, as if she had already processed the weight of the conversation before my arrival. She turned to me, her voice measured. *“We were… discussing a possible new treatment.”* A treatment. Right. That’s what he was selling. I barely kept my expression neutral as I shifted my gaze back to Jared. “We already heard the diagnosis, Jared. And you were there when the doctors said it—Arielle’s body isn’t in any condition for experimental procedure

Chapter: Chapter 403(ARIELLE'S POV) In Flåm, a small town in Norway, I experienced the most peaceful autumn and early winter of my life. When I first arrived with Dwayne, the country was bathed in autumn colors—burnt orange, deep crimson, and golden leaves that drifted lazily through the crisp air. There was a stillness here, a kind of quiet that softened the weight pressing on my soul. I had forgotten what it felt like to breathe without pain, to exist without the ache of memories gnawing at my mind. Three months passed. Winter arrived, blanketing the town in a hushed white serenity. The air grew sharper, filled with the scent of frost, and the world around me slowed. The cold should have bitten into my skin, but strangely, I felt nothing—neither the chill nor the warmth of the crackling fireplace inside my little ranch. My heart had been numb for so long, it didn’t know how to thaw. Dwayne wasn’t by my side all the time. In fact, our one-on-one moments were so rare I could count them on one hand

Chapter: Chapter 402Regaining my composure, I exchanged a concerned glance with Mrs. Meyers before following Maverick. My heart pounded in my chest, a terrible weight pressing down on me with each step toward Arielle’s room. We found him there—his small arms wrapped so tightly around his mother that his little fingers turned white from the force of his grip. He buried his face into her, as if holding her close could somehow fix everything, as if his warmth could pull her back from the abyss she was slipping into. But Arielle didn’t react. She didn’t move, didn’t acknowledge the desperate embrace of the little boy who loved her more than anything in this world. She just sat there. Silent. This was what I had been trying to avoid, I wanted to shield Maverick from this, from watching his mother fade away in front of his eyes. But it seemed I was doing a bad job. I stood there, helpless. I wanted to pull Maverick away, tell him that everything was going to be okay, that I would fix this so

Chapter: Chapter 401(JARED'S POV)I remained in that position, rocking Arielle gently, until her trembling subsided and she fell asleep in my arms. I gently laid her down on the bed, making sure not to disturb her. As I stepped back, the door went open and Mrs Meyers stepped in.“What happened?” She asked, her eyes bearing concern as they landed on the scattered remains of the herbal tea package on the floor.I hesitated, conflicted about my response. “It's nothing,” I said finally, trying to wave it aside. “It just slipped from my hand.” I didn't want to hurt her but telling her the truth.Her eyes narrowed slightly in disbelief, but she didn't press the issue. Instead, she nodded and said, “Alright, I'll have it cleaned up.”I tried to protest, but she waved me off. “Was there any progress?” Her gaze drifted to Arielle, who was still sleeping peacefully.I shook my head, feeling bad about being the bearer of the bad news. “Not much.”She nodded, but I saw her eyes cloud over with disappointment. I felt

Chapter: CHAPTER 18(ANNALISE'S POV)Bracing myself, as I knew what remaining in that position could cause, I gently pulled away from Landon. My body protested for the warmth and body heat it had lost, but I willed myself not to take notice.“Um, how long are we going to spend here?” I asked, ignoring the look of disappointment on Landon's face.But a small smile crawled into his face, as he reached to tuck a stray strand behind my ear. “For as long as it would take your mom to regain consciousness. Also, when you have recovered and returned to your normal self. This whole incident has had a toll on you, and I want to ensure that you do not have a breakdown in the future.”“No,” I refuted, shaking my head. Not because I was ungrateful about his offer, but because of how unfeasible it would be for my studies. I was still a scholarship student. “I mean, I appreciate your concern of course, but…I can't miss classes for that long. My grades would suffer if I do, and you know what that means; my scholarship

Chapter: Chapter 17(LANDON'S POV)All my senses took a stroll the moment Annalise walked into the living room. I was sure I forgot what my name was the minute I saw her. I’d been mid-sentence, talking to one of my guards about security protocols, when she appeared wearing my oversized shirt. The words I’d been saying hung tightly to my throat like a tree rooted to the ground. I couldn't stop my eyes from beholding her curves, and her thighs.If the guard had delayed one more minute when I asked him to leave, I'd have found a way to pluck out his eyes at that moment. Annalise's body was mine to behold, and mine alone.For years, the plan was to avoid every form of distraction, but now it seemed almost impossible to hide away from her.It registers so strong in me, if Annalise was a fatal distraction, then I'd gladly die in it. Even now, as my eyes bore into hers, with her back against the wall in my bedroom.I couldn't stop my mind from replaying that day again, at her dorm. It was our first kiss an

Chapter: Chapter 16(ANNALISE'S POV)I followed Landon as he led me to a room he called his personal space.I couldn’t help but feel a strange mix of relief and nervous anticipation as so many thoughts swirled through my mind. Why did he bring me to his room? What happened to the other rooms?“You can freshen up in here,” he said, but something about the way he looked at me, made my heart raced. He pushed the door open and stepped aside to let me enter. “I’ll be in the living room if you need me.”“Thank you,” I murmured, watching as he gave me a small nod and closed the door behind him. Alone now, I sighed in relief, but I made sure I locked the door. The room was stunning, a wonder to behold. I took my time to look around, the interior designs, the paint, the lighting and the scent. It was as though he had prepared to bring me here all along. I ran my fingers over the golden design of the art frame on the wall, admiring the creativity of the drawings. It was a drawing of a man and a woman in a pass

Chapter: Chapter 15(ANNALISE'S POV)Sensing the tension brewing between them, and if not stopped, a potential fight, who knows, they could go physical, I stepped in between them.“Please, do not engage in combat. Now's not the time and this certainly is not the place. I'm too emotionally unprepared for that now,” I said, my voice a low whimper.That seemed to pacify Lucas as he stepped away, a huge frown gracing his forehead. And without another word, turned around and headed for his car. He got in and slammed the door shut violently, before careening out of the compound.I turned to Logan who had been watching the exchange in silence, and he rolled his eyes before walking away, too. Soon, his car's engine was revving and he drove out of the compound. The cool evening breeze caressed my skin and I realized that I was alone now, with Landon. Without a word, he pulled the car door open, gesturing to me to get in. I obliged and got comfortable in the front seat, while he climbed in after me.“You know, y

Chapter: Chapter 14(ANNALISE'S POV)I anxiously watched as the nurse fidgeted with the file in her hands, her eyes darting back and forth between us. Landon and Lucas exchanged a tense glance, their faces set in identical masks of worry and concern.“Go on, tell us,” Landon urged, his voice low and urgent Lucas and I nodded in unison.The nurse took a deep breath before speaking up. “I'm afraid this situation has become critical. Your mother's condition has taken a turn for the worse, and the surgery is still ongoing,” she said, looking at me squarely.At those words, it felt like a bomb was detonated in my head, my vision blurring. Landon’s grip on my wrist tightened, but I barely registered it.“What do you mean?” Lucas asked, his voice tight with anxiety. I guess my reaction was already affecting them. “What's happening exactly?”The nurse hesitated before answering. “It seems like…like her mother is giving up. Her body is shutting down, and we're doing everything we can to keep her stable.”I felt

Chapter: Chapter 13 (LANDON'S POV) After leaving the class, I made a deal with professor Maddie not to spill her little secret as long as she didn't report Annalise to the board and she agreed. I returned to the dorm with no enthusiasm and withdrew my PC, turning it on to see if there was any update from my hockey team. There was none at all and I heaved a relieved sigh, knowing I'd be free for the weekend. I went ahead to have a bath and settled on the couch, slowly sipping my favourite tea. It was a unique kind of tea I used to take back in the pack and I took it along. It had a way of calming my nerves whenever I was tense and the smell was soothing. It was getting quite late and I put the cup aside to have a quick nap but for some reason, I couldn't shut my eyes. I drifted from one end to another, breaking out in cold sweat even when the A.C was done. I stepped into the bathroom to shower again but still, it just wasn't working. The rate of my heartbeat suddenly increased and it felt like somet
