BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! A new enemy
"What are you doing here?" The familiar voice of Clara Campbell sailed into Hayley's ears as she remained frozen at the entrance. She shuddered. Reeling back to reality, Hayley instinctively turned to face Clara, who regarded her with a disapproving glare, obviously not pleased to see Hayley. Their eyes locked for a moment in a silent clash of emotions, with Hayley replaying all the things Clara had also made her go through. Out of all the pain she experienced in the current chaos, it was Clara's betrayal that plagued her the most. Regardless, Hayley forced a smile to break out on her face as she snapped out of her stupor, averting her eyes. Her gaze slowly lowered to see two brown bags clutched in Clara's hands. Setting aside her thoughts, Hayley summoned the courage to address her old friend, replying to her initial inquiry. "Uh, I'm actually here to see Cassidy. Adrian's sister. Where is she? Is she here?" She asked politely. Incredulously, Clara scoffed in disbelief at Hayley's
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Unexpected guests
"Another enemy?" Emily exclaimed, staring at Hayley in bewilderment. She didn't attempt to conceal her astonishment as Daisy had fallen asleep in the back seat. Hayley sighed wearily, feeling a wave of anxiety wash over her as several thoughts swirled her mind. But eventually, she pushed them aside, not wanting to feel daunted by them."Regardless, I will still make them pay for what they did to me. I need justice." Hayley started after a moment, her tone serious. "Could you believe they showed no signs of remorse while I confronted them in there? Especially that bitch called Clara."Emily sighed and shrugged carelessly as she replied. "Yeah, well. I can imagine." She exhaled before adding. "But I'm glad you were finally able to stand up to them. I feel relieved, knowing you're no longer afraid of them."Hayley huffed, rolling her eyes. "Afraid of them? Was I ever? I wasn't. Out of my respect for Adrian, I've remained patient and tolerant towards them, but clearly, his deranged sis
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Ivy
The following day as Hayley prepared for her date in her room, Emily lounged on the bed, admiring her friend as they discussed the pressing issues at hand. The previous day, Hayley had managed to handle her encounter with Leonardo quite well, despite Daisy's presence. Though the toddler had been reluctant to let go of her father and clung onto him throughout, even insisting that he accompanied them inside, eventually Daisy relented after Hayley reassured her that Leonardo would return the next day. However, deep down, Hayley knew that was unlikely. She still harbored resentment towards him, and if it weren't for Ivy's earlier sacrifice on her behalf, Hayley would not have agreed to meet with her. Regardless, she had already resolved to reject any proposal that suggested reconciling with Leonardo. She was done with him; a cheater and a deceiver had no place in her life, especially someone who could lie to her face without remorse. "So, who do you think sent the note? It couldn't have
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Friend Request
Ivy was momentarily taken aback, rendered speechless by Hayley's words. She slowly nodded, responding with, "Oh, I understand."Hayley watched her closely as she pressed on. "It's no trouble, Hayley. I'm confident that Leonardo can provide you with the proof you need. I stand by my earlier statement, Leonardo is serious about you. He always has been and I don't think he would ever jeopardize what he has worked so hard to build with you. You might not know this but he loves you more than he loves Dana."Hayley's heart skipped a beat as she absorbed the sincerity in Ivy's voice. Curiosity got the better of her, and she questioned skeptically. "And how do you know all of this?"Ivy offered a gentle smile and replied, "Leonardo and I have been friends for a long time, Hayley. I understand and know him better than anyone else, and I know what brings him happiness. It's you, Hayley. You illuminate his life with your world." She pressed a smile on her face and added almost sadly. "I wish I c
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! A great misunderstanding
For a brief moment, bewilderment clouded Hayley's features as she gazed at Emily in disbelief, her thoughts spiraling.After a moment, she collected herself and hurried over to Emily, snatching the note from her, and quickly scanning its contents. Her heart pounded as she registered the bold print on the card, confirming Emily's earlier statements. It was indeed another message from her enigmatic adversary, cautioning her to steer clear of her ex-husband. Hayley stood motionless, her mind racing to identify who 'L' could be. With the realization that the note was from 'L', she dismissed her initial suspicions that it might have been sent by Cassidy, Alison, or Wendy. The letter was clearly from someone who had either a close connection to Leonardo or who was in love with him.As Hayley remained frozen in thought for a moment, her mind coincidentally strayed to Ivy and she felt her heart skip a beat. A shudder ran through her as she recalled Ivy mentioning that her name was also 'Lisb
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! "Who the fuck is 'L'?
Emily was taken aback by her best friend’s unexpected outburst. She never imagined that Hayley would react in such a way. "You deceitful, conniving bitch!" Hayley's furious words shattered the moment of tranquility between Emily and Ivy, causing the two of them to look at her in disbelief. "Hayley," Emily called out, her voice laced with bewilderment as she struggled to comprehend her friend’s behavior. Ivy pressed her palm against her face, trying to mask the sting of Hayley’s slap. Her heart felt as though it had shattered into fragments as she took in the furious expression of the woman before her. "H-Hayley? Why would you do this?" Ivy stammered, bewilderment replacing her earlier excitement. Ivy remained calm for one cause, she liked Hayley, and for the other, because she knew there must be some sort of explanation regarding this, knowing Hayley wouldn't just have acted on impulse when she had done nothing wrong. Ivy patiently awaited her explanation. Hayley let out a scoff, s
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! The legal wife
"...If not, then it’s your legal wife, Lillian Lopez," she replied, her voice dripping with confidence. At the mention of her name, Leonardo's fists tightened and his jaw clenched tightly, his orbs reflecting his annoyance. He struggled to maintain his composure as he responded tersely, "What do you want, Lillian? I thought I made it clear last time that you need to stay away from me." His voice rose in frustration. Her voice sailed into his ears. "And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing, mi rey. But I can’t control my feelings anymore. It’s not my fault that my heart still beats for you, Leonardo. I miss you, mi rey," Lillian's sultry tone only deepened Leonardo's irritation. Ivy observed Leonardo's demeanor as he spoke into the phone, her curiosity piqued about who could provoke such anger in him. She watched as he excused himself, moving to a quieter corner of the compound, leaving her to reflect in silence. Ivy replayed her earlier confrontation with Hayley, feeling a pang of s
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! "You can't have both, Mr. Anderson"
"Hey, who was that?" Ivy inquired as she glanced up, sensing Leonardo making his way back to the bar. She set away the glass in her hand on the counter, staring at him intently as he drew a stool to himself. With a weary sigh, Leonardo replied, settling onto one of the stools. "Lilian." He said curtly. Brows raising, Ivy was momentarily stunned and surprise was etched on her features upon hearing him. Silence enveloped them for a few seconds before Ivy inquired further. "Well, why did she call? What did she want? I thought you've severed all ties with her completely." She said in confusion. Leonardo drew in a deep breath, still plagued by his thoughts. "I have, Ivy. She's just crazy." Leonardo replied absentmindedly, his gaze elsewhere as he lost himself in thoughts. Ivy remained silent, observing him for a moment and she couldn't help but notice the perturbed look etched on his face. Her mind tried to decipher Leonardo's inner thoughts, and after a moment, a sudden realization st

You both are hereby sentenced to fifty years in prison, for the crimes of attempted murder and kidnapping.

A brief wave of disbelief washed over Leonardo as he stared at Hayley in astonishment. "What?" he blurted out absentmindedly, a hint of excitement seeping into his voice.Hayley felt a blush rise to her cheeks as she observed his reaction, realizing this was the first time she had seen his response to her pregnancy news."Are you serious, baby?" Leonardo asked, his eagerness palpable as his gaze shifted to Hayley's abdomen, contemplating whether she was teasing him or if she truly meant it.A genuine smile spread across Hayley's face as she rolled her eyes at his question. "Yeah, duh...""Mi reina!" Leonardo exclaimed, a surge of pure excitement bubbling within him. He could hardly fathom it. His joy was boundless as he reached for Hayley's hand, holding it gently.Hayley reveled in his excitement, her eyes filled with affection as he began to speak."Hayley Forbes..."She interrupted him, shaking her head playfully.

Hayley hurried with overwhelming joy and excitement toward Leonardo's room, with Daisy beside her. Her elation was palpable as she realized that Leonardo was awake; she could hardly contain her eagerness to see him. 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. Leonardo had undoubtedly been taken aback to see his family upon waking. However, his initial surprise gradually shifted to confusion when he noticed the absence of both his woman and daughter. However, they had reassured him that Hayley had stepped out briefly and would return shortly, while Daisy was in another room with Rosalie and Emily. With this information, his anxious heart began to settle as he accepted their reassuring words. After a further thirty minutes had elapsed without Hayley's return, Leonardo's concern began to intensify. Unable to contain himself, he called out to Lorenzo, who
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Joyful moment
.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. Thoughts of Leonardo tightened around her heart, causing her anguish. Hayley eventually regained composure as she caught sight

Wendy collapsed on the ground, her head buried in her palms as she absorbed the news of Alison's sudden accident. It hit her like a thunderbolt, shattering her heart into pieces. Her daughter had been involved in an accident and according to what the wardress had mentioned, Alison had also fallen in a coma after the incident. Wendy swallowed, her face flooded with tears. Her heart ached painfully as she grappled with the reality. How could this be? How did this happen? She felt a pang of guilt constrict her heart tightly, knowing she was mostly responsible for the unfortunate circumstance that had befallen her daughter. 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

"What are you saying? He has a guardian! You can't take that action."Lillian's heart raced with anxiety as she absorbed the unsettling information relayed to her over the phone. Despite her efforts to maintain her composure, her hand trembled slightly as it pressed the receiver to her ear. Beads of sweat began to form on her temples, and her anger flared as the caller finished her statement.Her grip on the phone tightened, and Lillian shot back, her frustration palpable. "What do you mean by that? You can't do that! He has a mother! I am his mother!"She fell silent as the caller replied, a response that clearly unsettled her. Lillian started again. "Listen, you cannot do this to me. Ethan is my son. I’ll be out of here very soon. Just be patient, please." Lillian pleaded, a tear streaming down her cheek that she quickly brushed away.She listened closely to the caller's words until the line beeped, indicating the call had ended.Her heart shattered, and fresh tears flowed down her
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! All caught
Hayley headed out of the hospital as soon as she received the news about Freya's capture. Right after Lillian was apprehended, she had instructed an officer of the law to discreetly conduct a search for Freya, ensuring that she returned to the city in one piece so she could serve her fair punishment for her actions. Hayley was quite surprised by the speed of the development, however, that was the least of her concerns at that moment. A blend of satisfaction and annoyance brimmed within her as she headed out to the awaiting car, parked in the hospital lot. She had nearly forgotten Emily was trailing behind her until Emily's voice sailed into her ears, pulling Hayley from her thoughts. "Where are you going, Hayley? Who was it on the phone?" Emily pressed, her tone filled with concern. Realizing she hadn't shared the news with her, Hayley stopped midway and turned to Emily in an attempt to placate her confusion. "I'll be right back, Em. I need you to stay behind and watch my mother a
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Beautiful friendship
Hayley made her way to the restroom section of the hospital and leaned against the door once she stepped inside. Her heart raced, stirred by memories of her confrontation with Clara.Painful tears stung her eyes despite her efforts to remain composed and resolute. She felt she didn't deserve to cry. If anyone ought to shed tears, it should be Clara, not herself. She hadn't done anything wrong.With this resolve, Hayley sniffled back her emotions, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand before heading towards the sink to wash her face. She stared at her reflection in the mirror afterward, her chest heaving. She drew in a deep breath and exhaled before further questioning herself if she had been too harsh on Clara or if she truly deserved what she got from her. Her thoughts were disrupted as the door to the bathroom swung open, startling Hayley. Without moving an inch, Hayley caught a glimpse of the person who had just walked in through the mirror and saw it was Emily."Hey, ar
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Regret and remorse
Meanwhile, Clara watched in silence as she absorbed the affectionate scene unfolding before her. Occasionally, her gaze would trail from the newfound couple to Hayley, who watched with enthusiasm and joy. Clara felt her heart pricked painfully, once again remembering that she and Hayley were no longer friends. And it was all her fault. She literally betrayed Hayley. Abandoned her when she needed her the most and turned her back to her in her times of trial and peril. She wondered if Hayley was ever going to forgive her for her actions.Sure, she had only acted out because she didn't like the way Hayley's deception affected Adrian. But recognizing Hayley's other predicament with Wendy and Lillian, she had now come to understand why Hayley had lied to them about her identity in the first place. She was obviously running from something and just didn't want to get entangled with her past again. It was unfortunate that Leonardo had just shown up to thwart those plans of Hayley.Reflecting
