BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Billionaire's regret: Apology
By the time Leonardo had finished bathing and changing into a new pair of sweatpants and singlet he had ordered online earlier, Hayley was still sleeping. He didn't disturb her. He went back to check on his daughter in her room, and he found she was now awake, seated on her small chair and coloring something in a drawing book. "Baby..." Leonardo trailed off when he stepped into her room.Daisy turned, and her face instantly lit up when her eyes landed on Leonardo."Uncle Damian!" As much as Leonardo hated being called that, he was glad at the excitement that exuded her as she scampered to hug him.Leonardo lifted her in his arms, pressing a kiss to her temples softly. "How are you, love? Did you sleep well?" He asked, staring at her with a genial smile etched on his face.Daisy nodded, grinning. Leonardo patted her hair fondly, his heart swelling with love for his adorable child. He loved that Daisy was a spitting image of him, except that she had the color of her mom's hair_ blo
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Date Night
Leonardo sat in his car, perched a few miles across Hayley's home. He could see the entrance of her house, watching it like a hawk from where he sat. It would be difficult for anyone to easily spot him or the black, posh, and tinted car parked by the curb on the other side as the night was very dark, even though it was just a few minutes past 8 pm. Leonardo was eagerly waiting for what he had ordered online, to be delivered to him before he headed to Hayley's house to spend the night. As he sat there, all that was swirling and revolving in his mind was just Hayley. After what happened between them the previous day, Leonardo couldn't stop thinking about her even for a second. As much as he had gathered from what happened yesterday, he could tell Hayley was still in love with him, considering the way she had been all over and the way she had hastily picked him over Adrian when he proposed his wish. A boyish grin tugged at his lips as he recalled the way she had moaned his name while h

"Well, shall we, mi lady? I'm starving and can't wait to eat with you tonight," Adrian broke the silence that descended upon them.Half smiling, Hayley nodded, heaving a deep sigh. "I'm ready,""All right!"And with that, Adrian got out of the car and walked round to open the door for Hayley.Hayley got down gently and stood beside Adrian. Locking his car with the key control, Adrian held Hayley's hand and they both walked inside the restaurant. As soon as they got inside, an attendant walked towards them, leading them to the VIP table Adrian had booked for reservation on the top floor.Adrian halted the attendant and pulled the chair for Hayley when they reached. Hayley smiled at the gesture. "Thank you," She purred, taking her seat. "You're welcome, love," Adrian also took his seat opposite Hayley. They soon got settled in a few minutes later, after the waiter had served them their orders. Adrian also ordered an expensive one to celebrate his date night with Hayley. Hayley was
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! "You have two options."
"W- what are you doing in my house? How did you even get in?" Hayley managed to ask, masking her fear as she maintained her stance.Leonardo's gaze was expressionless. He heaved a weary sigh, asking Hayley in an angry yet calm tone."Where the hell have you been, Hayley?" Hayley hesitated, staring at him for a moment before eventually replying indifferently. "I went on a date with Adrian." Her heart raced, yet her demeanor remained unchanged. Leonardo's fist clutched, taking deep breaths as he tried to quell his rage.Hayley looked at him petrified, but she still refused to let him see it. She knew Leonardo was angry, but she refused to act like she cared.Hayley repeated nonchalantly. "I asked what you are doing-""What did we talk about yesterday?" Leonardo cut in, a menacing glint in his eyes that had Hayley's heart thumping in her chest as he glared at her.Hayley swallowed, perplexed. "W- what do you mean?" She innocently asked, confused. She had completely forgotten their ag

Ignoring her reaction, he carried on. "I think I've been patient enough, haven't I? He's been with you for five years, I think..." Leonardo trailed off, voicing his thoughts. "I wonder how he's going to react when I tell him the truth. That we even had sex yesterday, and how you just couldn't stop moaning and screaming my name as I made mad love to you... Just the day before you went on a date with him." He smiled slyly at Hayley. "What do you think, mi reina?"Hayley's legs wobbled as she staggered back in disbelief, staring at her deranged ex-husband in bewilderment. "L- Leo..."Leonardo sighed softly, still smiling kindly at Hayley. "So choose, baby. Which option do you prefer? You have twenty seconds to decide, starting now." He fished out a small stopwatch from his pocket and pressed start. The watch soon began to tick. Had Leonardo gone mad? Hayley's thoughts swirled, still staring at him dumbstruck. Hayley knew he wasn't bluffing. And she knew if Leonardo told Adrian the trut

Leonardo walked over to her, his intense dark gaze lingering on Hayley's naked body. The sight of her alluring pose on the bed had his blood boiling with desires, and his body pulsing with arousal. Hayley's face was still turned to the other side and she couldn't see Leonardo, but she could sense he was staring at her lustfully. The realization had her stomach curling and her heart fluttering as she anxiously awaited his next move."Don't get wet. Don't get wet." Hayley repeated these words in her mind like a mantra, determined to maintain composure and not strip away the last of her pride to her deranged ex-husband. The next sensation Hayley felt was Leonardo's huge and warm hand caressing her ass softly. Hayley's body tensed and she stiffened, her breath held in her throat as Leonardo slowly rubbed her ass cheeks soothingly and his hands traveled across her butts possessively. Hayley shut her eyes tightly, trying to suppress the sensations that surged within her. She clenched her
BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Suspicion arising
It was a bright and sunny Wednesday afternoon.Adrian Lewis was settled in his office, seated comfortably behind his large mahogany desk at the center of the room. His hand practically navigated the mouse control as he scrolled the computer before him, reviewing the mid-year estimated sales book of his company. He exhaled exasperatedly, realizing business wasn't as good as it used to be. He couldn't help but wish RosArts had agreed to partner with them, maybe things would have been different then. His current executives weren't contributing much profits or benefits to the company, and it plagued Adrian as he couldn't bring himself to fire them. It wasn't their fault, after all. Pushing his thoughts aside, he continued his routine.As Adrian continued scrolling for a while, a gentle knock on his door disrupted his concentration. He paused, pressing the response button with his eyes darting to the entrance to see who it was.The door swung open, revealing a man dressed in a plush navy

But despite the high spirit, the toddler was already feeling tired.She walked over to Hayley and yawned wearily, informing her mother she wanted to sleep. Hayley had gone to tuck her in bed.Returning to Clara a few minutes later, they settled on the couch, chatting. They had put behind their differences for the sake of Daisy's special day."She's it now, Nina. Daisy's six!" Clara exclaimed in awe, taking her wine glass from the table. She raised it. "Let's toast to you for being the best single mom in the world."Hayley chuckled, also raising her glass. "Cheers! Thank you, Clara." They sipped from the glass, savoring the moment."

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.

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.

.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.

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.

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?"
