BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Making solutions
Her nerves unraveling with anxiety, Hayley heard a brief disturbance on the line before Lillian's voice finally resonated through the phone, reaching Hayley's ears."What is it?" Lillian demanded curtly.Hayley forced herself to maintain her composure as Lillian's voice echoed in her mind. Despite her rising anger, she responded with a calm demeanor."Where is my daughter, Lillian? Where is she?" She asked calmly.Lillian let out a soft laugh before answering. "She's safe... for now."Hayley's heart raced, anxiety flooding her senses. "What do you mean by that?""I have demands, Hayley. Demands that need to be met before I release her. Unfortunately, you aren't in a position to meet those demands for me, so I see no reason to continue this conversation."As Lillian prepared to end the call, Hayley's desperate voice stopped her in her tracks. "Please," Hayley implored, her stern expression softening. She shut her eyes, pleading earnestly. "Please, Lillian, I beg you, mother to mother,

The ringing of the phone abruptly stopped as Lillian's sharp voice cut through to Leonardo."What do you want?" She demanded.Leonardo's jaw tightened, his eyes burning with rage at the sound of her voice. "Are you out of your mind, Lillian? I thought I was clear last time. Where is my daughter?" He snapped."You have no right to raise your voice at me, Leonardo," Lillian shot back. "I’m the one in control here. What you should be doing is apologizing and asking what I want from you in exchange for your daughter."Leonardo glanced at Elliot, his eyebrows raised in inquiry. Elliot met his gaze and gave a thumbs-up, silently encouraging him as he continued to work on the computer.Leonardo turned his attention back to Lillian, determined to extend the conversation. However, he remained resolute in his refusal to apologize, convinced she had received exactly what she deserved from him."You know, Lillian, I've been wondering where you get your audacity. How dare you abduct my child?" He

Hayley finally returned to her apartment in Kleeton City after spending hours in transit with Rosalie and Emily. As soon as they entered the house, she hurried to her daughter's room, dreading the confirmation of her worst fears. As she stepped inside, it was obvious that Daisy was missing, just as she had anticipated. Faced with a lonely presence, she halted in her tracks, her heart breaking. Tears welled in Hayley's eyes, her heart heavy with sorrow as she approached her toddler's closet. Her hand trembled as she reached for the space that held her child's clothing. She pulled out one of Daisy's favorite jackets, a gift from her fourth birthday celebration. Bringing the fabric close to her face, she wept openly, clutching the cloth as if it could bring her daughter back. The stark reality of her daughter's absence hit Hayley hard, shattering her heart. Until that moment, she had not fully grasped the depth of what had happened. "I'm so sorry, my baby," Hayley whispered through her

Hayley stood momentarily stunned, processing the astonishing news of her newfound wealth. It was almost beyond her comprehension. She could hardly believe it."You are now a multi-millionaire," Rosalie's words reverberated in her mind, as the world around her began to blur."Am I really a multi-millionaire?" she pondered silently, skepticism creeping into her thoughts."Hayley! Hayley!" Emily's voice broke through her daze, prompting her to blink rapidly and shake off the confusion.Turning towards the two women before her, she saw their faces alight with joy."I am so happy for you, Hayley! You did it! You did it!"

"Where is Luca's restaurant, and do you have any idea why she would want to meet there?" Rosalie inquired, directing her question toward Hayley. Lost in her thoughts, Hayley shook her head. "No. I have no idea, Mom. Luca's restaurant is located in the center of the City, just a few miles from here. I think I'd be safe if I went.." "You can't go, mi reina," Leonardo interjected, his tone heavy with concern. "I have to, Leonardo. You heard what she said," Hayley replied, turning to face him. Leonardo shook his head vehemently. "There's no way you're seriously considering this..." "What choice do I have?" She corked her brows at him. "She's your foster mother, remember? She's crazier than Lillian. I didn't even realize she was Lillian's accomplice until now. Please, baby, I can't risk your safety. Wendy is too dangerous. I wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to you, mi reina. Please," he pleaded, his eyes filled with worry. Seeing the fear in his gaze, Hayley felt a warmt
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Foes
Wendy fell silent for a few seconds, her brows deepened in a frown as she grappled with her inner thoughts. She wondered if she had heard Rosalie clearly the first time. Rosalie hadn't mentioned Hayley's name, so she may be talking about someone else. There was no way she might have found out about Hayley.Swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat, Wendy regained composure and her expression turned stoic as she turned to Rosalie. "I don't know what you're talking about, Rosalie. But I suggest you leave. I have a guest coming in soon." She said resolutely.Rosalie watched her intently, amusement dancing in her eyes as she couldn't believe the woman. Was she seriously trying to pretend like she didn't know about Hayley? Or was it that Wendy took her for a clown?"You can lie and pretend all you want, Wendy, but Hayley is not coming. You do know Hayley is my daughter, don't you?" She replied derisively.It was only then that realization fully dawned on Wendy, instinctively causin

Wendy felt her heart drop as the weight of Rosalie's words hit her. Stunned to silence, she fixated her gaze on Rosalie, disbelief coursing through her as her pulse quickened. As she locked eyes with Rosalie's smug expression, her heart twisted with despair even further. How could this be? Quickly diverting her gaze, Wendy scanned the room, hoping to find any signs that would validate or refute Rosalie's claims. To her astonishment, she noticed that very few or no persons in the restaurant resembled law enforcement. Only a handful of couples occupied the far side of the room, leaving Wendy puzzled. She couldn't fathom what was happening. If Rosalie had claimed she was surrounded, then how come no cops were in the room with them? Was Rosalie deceiving her? She questioned inwardly, her racing her heart slowly calming. Perhaps this was merely a ploy from Rosalie to instill fear in her.With that thought, Wendy scoffed, redirecting her attention back to Rosalie. "You certainly have a se

"Baby, are you certain it's alright for you to join me? I mean, I'll be okay if you say you can't. Please, baby, I don't know what I'd do if..." Leonardo inquired, his concern evident in his tone. He struggled to express his apprehensions when Hayley gently interrupted him, cutting him off."Hey, Hey, it's okay," she reassured him, cradling his face as she gazed into his eyes. Leonardo felt the intensity of her gaze. "I’ll be fine, I promise. We’ll get through this together; you don’t need to worry about me.""But I still have my doubts, mi reina," he replied in a concerned whisper."I appreciate your concern, Leonardo, and I love that you care about me. But I'm reassuring you now that everything will be alright. And I'm coming with you. Daisy is my daughter too," she said, her flickering between his but Leonardo simply exhaled softly."We'll get through this together, okay?" She added before lifting herself slightly to kiss his lips softly. Just as she began to pull away, Leonardo t

It had been three days since the court delivered its final verdict. And Lillian could attest to the fact that those days had been the most challenging of her life.They worked like lackeys in the yard, all day. She got bullied by her superiors; sometimes, she was denied dinner. While she had thought initially that she was resilient and could survive the prison life, now she was beginning to doubt her strength. Only three days had passed but it felt as though she had been trapped in there for decades. The relentless suffering felt overwhelming most times. Most distressing of all was the thought that her son would soon be placed in foster care, as she had been unable to secure her release from prison.

At the same time, Leonardo engaged in conversation with his brother, Lorenzo, who had remained by his side since the women had departed an hour earlier following his awakening.

.Hayley returned to the hospital after delivering the lawsuit documents to the wardress at Wendy's prison. Approximately an hour prior, the prosecutor, Alexa, who was overseeing Hayley's case, had provided her with the papers following their meeting. Hayley then drove to the prison, where Wendy and Lillian were incarcerated, and handed the documents to the wardress, choosing not to visit any of them. That was the least of her concerns; her only interest in seeing them was during the court proceedings, where the judge would render his final decision. With a sigh of frustration, Hayley pulled herself back to the present as she made a right turn onto the highway, heading towards the hospital. She recalled that the love of her life remained unconscious when she left earlier, and a wave of anxiety washed over her as she wondered if he had awakened from the coma.

If she hadn't gotten herself in trouble in the first place, none of this would have happened. With that, her cries intensified as she remained on the ground. "I'm very sorry, ma'am," The wardress tried to sympathize, her tone laden with pity. But that did little to console Wendy, whose thoughts were all over the place. Meanwhile, Lillian had also been shocked upon he
