BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge! Seeking her
"Have the table prepared, she will be here any moment. I can't endure another round of her complaints. You know how it goes," Alice, a young woman clad in a waitress uniform, instructed her colleague as they prepared dinner in the kitchen. Ingrid, Alice's colleague replied in a subtle tone. "What do you even mean by that, Alice?" A thought crossed her mind and her eyes widened as she added in disbelief. "Don't tell me..." Alice interrupted her with a curt nod, knowing what she was about to say. She stirred the contents of the pot as she replied carelessly. "Yeah, it is exactly what you think. The trip to Clasold City was another disappointment. She couldn't find her there either." In contrast to Alice, Ingrid recoiled in shock at the revelation, concern etched on her face as she shook her head with sympathy. "Oh no, that's truly heartbreaking. I feel so bad for her. Oh my gosh." Alice let out a weary sigh and shrugged. "Yeah, me too. I mean I used to, but not anymore..." Ingrid w

I want my Daddy."With a weary sigh, Hayley tried to pacify Daisy. "I’m sorry, sweetheart. But Daddy isn’t available right now. He is away for a few days. Please, stop crying, my love."However, Daisy’s cries only intensified. "No, Mommy! You're lying!"Hayley was taken aback, her mouth agape in disbelief as she glanced at Emily, who mirrored her astonishment. But Emily’s surprise quickly faded into indifference as she returned her focus to the meal she was preparing, deliberately aggravating Hayley further.Hayley noticed Emily's demeanor and felt a pang of realization. She knew Emily was still upset about the incident that occurred at Leonardo's house two days ago. Emily had been sulking ever since they returned home that day and had refused to indulge with Hayley in anything. Hayley coul

"W- What?" Hayley exclaimed in bewilderment, her eyes widening with shock.Seeing this, Leonardo whispered to Daisy. "Baby, would you give Mommy and me a moment, please? Daddy wants to speak with Mommy privately."Daisy lifted her head from his shoulder, her eyes landing on Leonardo's imploring ones. Hesitantly, she nodded sadly. "Okay, Daddy. Please, don't leave, okay?"He nodded briskly, "Uhm, I won't." He pressed a kiss to her temples before gently placing her down. With that, Daisy glanced between them once more before scurrying away.Now left with Hayley, Leonardo expelled an exasperated sigh and apologized softly. "I'm sorry, baby. I was just as shocked as you are now. I'm sorry for not handling the situation in a better way. We only learned about this yesterday."Meanwhile, Hayley grappled with the reality of the news, unable to comprehend it fully.

The doctors were even beginning to express their doubts about his recovery. Although Adrian continued to breathe beneath the oxygen mask, hope was rapidly dwindling. They were all perturbed including Cassidy, who sat by his side, gently stroking his face. She inwardly shared in the collective anxiety that filled the room."Fight this, Adrian. Please, we need you. Come back to us," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion and tears of anguish brimming in her eyes. The pain of watching her only brother in such a vulnerable state was unbearable. Cassidy wished she could swap places with him if it would mean reviving him, but that was impossible. In her desperation to help Adrian, she resolved to seek vengeance.

OR I SHALL ENSURE YOU NEVER SEE YOUR BROTHER AGAIN."Cassidy was stunned, grappling with the fact that someone was using Adrian against her. Who was this person? How dare they threaten her?A sudden realization hit Clara, and she exclaimed, "L! I think she’s Hayley’s other enemy. Do you remember the note from a few days ago?" She asked eagerly, turning to Cassidy.Cassidy furrowed her brow, recalling the tense encounter with Hayley the other day when Hayley had accused her of sending her threat notes. It finally dawned on her that it was indeed Hayley’s adversary who had sent this note."I do remember the note, but that doesn’t give this bitch the right to blackmail me with my brother's life," Cassidy retorted, her annoyance palpable.Clara quickly pulled a chair closer, sitting down bef

Wendy had already arrived in Kleeton City the day prior, and she was currently having dinner at the dining table and discussing pressing matters with her ally, Lillian Lopez. "Have you sent out the warning?" Wendy inquired, taking a few sips from her glass as Lillian made to reply. She nodded curtly. "I already did. I just hope she would heed my advice and leave Hayley alone. I heard she's as stubborn as a goat, and given she hates Hayley more than anything, I'm worried she might not be convinced." Lily replied, referring to Adrian's sister, Cassidy. Wendy chuckled at her remark heartily, shaking her head in amusement as she gazed at Lillian. "Oh, Lily. How it feels to work with you again after so many years. Well done..." She rolled her eyes in a sass manner, cutting her steak as she replied curtly. "I am not enjoying any of this, Wendy. Can we get this over with already and return home? This place isn't for me at all and I miss my son." Wendy pouted. "Come on, Lily, there's no n

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.

.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

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

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.

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
