BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! His goal
"Thanks for letting me stay, mi reina," Leonardo expressed gratefully to Hayley, moments after he had gotten settled into her home.Hayley stole a glance at him and shrugged. "Don't thank me. I had no other choice." She stated curtly before returning her attention to the second batch of pastries she was diligently glazing. Despite her nonchalant demeanor and the sassy tone she had used on him, deep down, Hayley was secretly pleased that Leonardo was there, in the kitchen with her and Daisy. She was glad he was the one she had met at the door. Her heart fluttered with a warm feeling of affection. However, as she reminisced further, her mind couldn't help but ponder about the bond Daisy had with Leonardo, recalling the father-daughter they had shared moments earlier. Daisy seemed to have taken a liking to him, despite having only met Leonardo a few months ago. Unlike Adrian, who had fought tooth and nail for two years before Daisy finally acknowledged his presence in their lives and g
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Third wheel
Later that morning, after the second batch of pastries was ready, Hayley proposed they all see a movie indoors. Though she had initially set up for just her and Daisy. However, now that Leonardo was present, there would be a change of plans, which included Hayley, holding in the information she had wanted to share with Daisy about her dad.Hayley and Leonardo were seated behind Daisy in the cozy living room. While Daisy solitary occupied the small love sofa, Hayley and Leonardo shared the couch behind her. That way, they'd been whispering and engaging in a conversation, careful not to disrupt Daisy's focus on the cartoon they were all enjoying. It was only a few minutes into the movie when Hayley suddenly questioned, her curiosity getting the better of her. She had been wanting to ask Leonardo this particular question for some time now, but she hadn't been able to as they were always at work. Hence, This seemed like the perfect opportunity to ask him. Hayley thought.Without turning
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Remorse
As Hayley sank into the office swivel chair that Monday morning, her mind pondered on the hurtful things she'd done to Adrian over the days. Regret and guilt seeped into her heart as she replayed the moments when she had callously dismissed Adrian's heartfelt confession. It was all her fault. But there was something she couldn't quite comprehend. And that was the reason why Adrian was suddenly pouring out his emotions to her almost every time they spoke.Before now, Adrian rarely told her the three-letter word. If anything, he had always been patient with her, reassuring her that he would wait for her, despite her countless rejections. But now, he seemed to have changed. Hayley couldn't pinpoint the reason, but she knew it deep within her. Adrian was behaving uncanny. Or could it be that he was growing tired of waiting for her? And if so, could she really blame him though? She was the selfish one, after all.Hayley let out a weary sigh as she gazed up at the ceiling, lost in her thoug
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Blind date
It was still the early hours of the serene Saturday night, and the evening embraced Adrian reluctantly dressing up for his arranged date in just an hour. Frustration weighed heavily on him as he secured his watch around his wrist. After his reconciliation with Hayley, Adrian had considered canceling the date his mother had persuaded him on. But he knew he couldn't. That would be a breach of the deal he had made with his mother a week ago. And besides, he only needed to endure this one and never have to face her meddling and pressure again. That was the only advantage he held onto.Adrian was certain he'd have no interest in the lady as he believed his heart solely belonged to Hayley. She was the only woman he loved and would ever love. The thought of loving someone else was inconceivable to him. Reflecting on the past days of the week, he realized how much he missed Hayley. He hadn't seen her much lately as she had later extended her leave of absence from two days to a week and had
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Attraction
"... Who is she?" Her voice resonated in his ears as he gazed at her intently. Upon hearing her question, Adrian's eye flickered toward his phone, prompting him to instinctively turn off the device before redirecting his attention back to the stunning lady standing before him. He had no idea who she was and he couldn't disclose Hayley's identity to a stranger, just like that. Thus...Adrian waved his hand dismissively, responding politely. "Uh, just someone I know... But excuse me, you are?" He asked, reciprocating her expressionless gaze and attempting to maintain a sense of composure. Alison's frown deepened as she stared at him for a moment, her face devoid of any emotion as she contemplated if her eyes had just played tricks on her a minute ago or not. The woman she had glimpsed on Adrian's phone bore an uncanny resemblance to her missing foster sister, Hayley. Or was she even the one? She couldn't fathom her own curiosity. Noticing the lady before him remained silent as if lo
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Rejection
Alison was still imagining the things she would do to Adrian when he abruptly turned toward her and met her lust-dazed orbs, catching her off-guard. Surprise flickered across his face as he realized he wasn't mistaken, the lady had been unabashedly ogling him. In as much as he found it flattering and thrilling that a beautiful lady like her was so captivated by him, Adrian couldn't ignore the pang of guilt and betrayal in his heart. He thought of Hayley and what this would mean in their non-existent relationship. He couldn't do that to her. This might be a test of his love for her after all."So, tell me more about yourself, Mr. Lewis." Alison started, returning her gaze to match his again. Just then the waiter arrived with their orders, placing the drinks delicately on the table before excusing himself.Adrian replied as he poured wine into the two flute glasses, offering one to Alison. He shrugged casually. "Well, there isn't much to know. I'm thirty, and I own an Arts company." H
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Back from Vacation
"Welcome back, SCA Nina!" They all shouted in unison as they saw her approach the door with Adrian by her side. Their faces lit up with genuine smiles, reflecting their joy at her return. Hayley stood frozen by the doorway, momentarily stunned and speechless by the surprise. After a moment, she eventually let out a laugh. "Oh my goodness, what is all this?" Hayley marveled at her gaily decorated office in awe as she walked in. Adrian, who had escorted her in from the lobby cleared his throat before replying in a friendly tone."We thought we should throw our best artist a surprise welcome party. We are lucky to have you back here, SCA Nina." He added with a playful tone, leaning in to whisper in Hayley's ear. "And this is also a Thank you gift from us to you for accepting to represent us in the upcoming competition."The colleagues nodded in agreement, their eyes fixed on the two of them. "That's correct, SCA Nina." One of them chimed in.Adrian shrugged playfully, nudging Hayley. "
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Found!
"WHAT?!" Hayley exclaimed in shock. Leonardo watched as she staggered back, her gaze dropping as she was still reeling from the shocking news he had just revealed to her. He had anticipated this. He knew this revelation would create a problem from the start, but he had to tell her. He had almost reacted the same way too when Adrian had also informed him about the date. He felt sorry for Hayley.There was a momentary silence as the atmosphere around them shifted with Hayley's heart still beating erratically in her chest. Leonardo remained silent, unsure of how to react.After a moment, Hayley finally struggled to regain her composure and also mustered the courage to speak. Her eyes darted to Leonardo's, her disbelief at what he had just told her, still palpable. "What do you mean Adrian went on a date with Alison? I don't understand. How do they know each other? How?" Hayley's voice trembled as she poured out her questions in a panicked tone.Leonardo sat straighter on the chair and

He was due to pick her up in an hour, yet she found herself uncertain about what outfit to wear. Just then, Emily entered the room, cradling Daisy in her arms.Catching sight of Emily's reflection in the mirror, Hayley chuckled as Emily paused, seemingly taken aback by her appearance. "Is that really you, Hayley?" Emily asked skeptically, raising an eyebrow as she stepped closer.Hayley laughed softly, dismissing the compliment with a wave of her hand.

Daisy chimed in, her face lighting up with an adorable smile.Hayley's heart melted at the compliment, and she turned to Daisy, responding warmly, "Oh, thank you, baby."

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.

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.

.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.

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.
