BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Temptation
When Hayley caught sight of him, a gasp of shock escaped her lips. Her eyes were absentmindedly drawn to his well-chiseled abs, leaving her hooked to the spot.Hayley's gaze then hesitantly traveled downwards, but she quickly averted as her thoughts grew unruly.Her eyes returned to his piercing gaze, not wanting to be consumed by her lustful thoughts as she kept staring at him.Hayley's confusion was evident on her face as she demanded an explanation for his presence in her room."Why are you here?" Hayley heard herself ask inwardly, but outwardly she could barely form the words."There was no towel in the bathroom, mi reina," he replied as if reading her mind.Blinking back to reality, Hayley slowly regained her composure and her ability to speak. "You should have said so, instead of barging in as if this is your room," Hayley snapped, her annoyance clear in her tone.But Leonardo smirked mischievously, staring at her with a twinkle in his eye.Hayley's heart skipped a beat as he r

"Let's cuddle..."Hayley collapsed on his chest unexpectedly. She struggled to break free from his hold."No!" She adamantly refused. "Don't ever do this again!" She warned him sternly, getting away from him.Leonardo frowned sadly.Hayley's eyes snapped open as she recalled the response she had given Leonardo the previous night when he had asked her to cuddle. Though Hayley had been surprised and nearly wanted to give in, she eventually refused, reprimanding him. She had managed to escape him. The last thing Hayley wanted was for Leonardo to know he still had any effect on her whatsoever. Picking up her nightwear from her wardrobe, she had exited the room and went to the living room to wait.Hayley had patiently waited for the heavy rain to subside last night, but it never did as the minutes had grown into hours and hours into the next morning, thus she had ended up falling asleep on the couch in the living room, while Leonardo had slept in her bedroom that night. So much for she wo

"C- Clara, what, what are you doing here?" Hayley bolted up from her seat, her eyes still widened in disbelief as she walked over to Clara. Clara's sudden appearance caught Hayley off guard.Clara was miffed as she turned her gaze to Hayley who was now standing before her, blocking her view from seeing Leonardo. "What do you mean, what am I doing, Nina? Am I no longer allowed to come into your house? Have you taken me for a stranger now?" Clara questioned, clearly annoyed.Hayley exhaled nervously, realizing she shouldn't have asked her that. "I'm sorry. I mean..." She trailed off."Hello Clara," Leonardo greeted from where he sat, his deep voice resonating in amusement, causing anger to stir within Hayley at his thoughtlessness. Had it been she knew, she could have left him in the rain. His nonchalance to the difficult situation he kept putting her in only infuriated her and fueled her anger and hatred towards him. "What is he doing here? I don't understand." Clara voiced out, obvi

Tick, tick, tick, the ticking sound of the fancy wall clock was the only thing that could be heard in the serene office. Gazing at the stack of documents piled up on her desk, Hayley Forbes let out a weary sigh. She was to finish up all of them within the next six hours. She had procrastinated for too long and it was now time to tackle them.Feeling overwhelmed, Hayley threw her head back on the chair, not knowing where to start. Her thoughts swirled in her mind, she was anxious. Not because of the workload currently on her desk, but because of her conversation with Leonardo earlier that morning. "I want you back. Let's become a family again.""For how long do you intend to keep lying to them?"His words echoed repeatedly in Hayley's mind, causing her discomfort as she was unable to make sense of the images on the screen of the computer in front of her.Her vision began to blur, touring her into oblivion as she pondered on Leonardo's words over and over again. Hayley and Adrian had
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! First Kiss
Hayley staggered back, clutching her chest and crying even more as a piercing pain shot through her heart. It pained her Adrian was in love with her. It pained her that she couldn't love him. It pained her that she was lying to him. He didn't even know her real name. What kind of a person was she?Hayley lifted her head, wiping her tears with the back of her hands. She apologized pathetically. "I'm sorry, Adrian. I am so sorry." She sobbed.Adrian looked puzzled. Even though he was still in a daze of what was currently going on with her, he stepped towards her. He stretched out his hand towards her, pulling her for an embrace. Hayley couldn't stop herself as she leaned forward, hugging him tightly. Adrian exhaled deeply, patting her back soothingly, relieved she had hugged him. Tears trickled down Hayley's face in a silent cry. They stayed like that for a moment before Adrian chuckled softly, breaking the stifling silence. He started jokingly. "You know... You look so beautiful e
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Finally a chance
Hayley coughed nervously, clearing her throat and averting her gaze away from Adrian.Adrian chuckled, amused by Hayley's shyness. After a moment of awkward silence, Hayley slowly made her way back to her desk, taking her seat behind.Hayley laughed briefly, attempting to clear the tension in the air. She turned to face Adrian, her sad expression completely replaced with an amused one. Hayley started teasingly. "So... Mr. Lewis. To what do I owe the pleasure of your honorable visitation...Oops," Realization dawned on Hayley. "Don't tell me you heard me screaming from your office." Her face flushed with embarrassment.Adrian looked at her, scoffing in delight. He was relieved to see she had stopped crying and was back to her usual self.He approached Hayley's desk, a charming smile etched on his handsome face. He perched on the edge of the desk facing her."Well..." He sighed, his smile dissolving into a frown. "Sad news."Hayley's brows knitted together as she sat up straighter. "Wh
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! In her Arms
Hayley regained her composure, her breath hitching as she paused to catch it."L- Leonardo? Leonardo?" She called out, but no response came from him. Hayley knew he wasn't deliberately ignoring her. He had either fainted or fallen asleep in her arms.Hayley was annoyed. This was the last thing she wanted in her life at the moment. Why did he have to show up at her doorstep, sick and helpless, just after the minute she had finally decided to get rid of him and kick her out of her life for good?Hayley exhaled exasperatedly, controlling her growing annoyance. She hissed irritably, knowing she would have to take care of him at least for the night. Her goodness! She wished she could just throw him out and leave him outside, but that would be cruel and unlike her.Heaving a sigh again, the next thing Hayley did was pull Leonardo closer to herself, cautiously dragging him inside with her. He was heavy. Gosh! She dragged him with all her strength to the couch, eventually flopping his body on
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! True Intentions
The next morning, Hayley was up as early as 7 am. Ignoring her usual morning routine of going to wash her face before starting her day, she headed to her room to check on Leonardo.Hayley stood outside the door, contemplating whether she should knock or not, but she reminded herself that it was her room. She let out a weary sigh, pushing the door open gently and stepping in quietly. Hayley flicked the lights on, her eyes darting to Leonardo who still laid on the queen-sized bed at the far end of the room. She could see from where she stood, that his eyes were still shut, and his body motionless. Hayley looked at him for a while before quietly walking over, her face bearing a worried expression. She thought he'd be awake by now.Taking a seat on the bed, next to Leonardo, Hayley gazed at him intently, anxious thoughts swirling in her mind before she was abruptly interrupted by Leonardo's deep and taunting voice. "I'm afraid if you keep staring at me like that, mi reina. You might st

Seated before an elegant dressing mirror in her room, she delicately applied light makeup while her body buzzed with excitement in anticipation of her date night with Leonardo. 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. "Oh, please, don’t start, Em.""Mommy is beautiful!" 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." She stood to plant a gentle kiss on Daisy's

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 last conversation with Leonardo had not gone well, and she was acutely aware that he would not intervene on Ethan's behalf.Lillian had o

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

.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.

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?"
