VANESSA'S OFFICEVanessa was busy with her work as usual, but this time, she wasn't focused. Her mind kept wandering back to the party the previous night.And the silly part of her mind couldn't help but wonder why Riccardo had not shown up today.She knew that she wasn't supposed to be thinking about him. But her brain wasn't letting her do anything else."Aarrrgh." She yelled angrily, ruffling her hair."What the hell is wrong with me?" She thought.Rising from her chair, she walked into her changing room. She stared at her face, as she stood in front of the floor length mirror."You're such a beautiful woman." She complimented, with a small smile plastered across her face."Don't repeat the same Mistake again." She whispered to reflection."Focus on what you have to do. He is not worth this." She reassured herself.She let out a sigh, walking out of the changing room, she decided to focus on her work. She started by reading the pending mails she had, and soon, she was now engrossed

"Come, I'll take you to your room," Lucss offered, extending his palm to Leila. She nodded, gently placing her hands on his and following closely behind him as they ascended the staircase that led to her soon to be room.As they reached the top of the stairs, Leila's eyes widened at the sight of the long hallway adorned with different doors on each side. Riccardo led her to the second room, stopping in front of it before turning the handle and pushing it open."Here's your room," he announced, gesturing for her to enter. Leila stepped inside, and her breath caught in her throat at the sight before her."Wow," she gasped, her eyes scanning the room in disbelief. It was a sanctuary of luxury, from the pristine white walls to the elegant ash colored curtains that framed the floor to ceiling windows. A vanity table in one corner, while a spacious walk in closet.Leila wandered around the room, her hands trailing over the smooth surfaces as she took in every details. When she finally stepp
Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Ex Wife Back Cold Icy Gaze
As soon as the figure passed by, Leila walked out from her hiding spot, her heart still pounding from the shock of the encounter. If her eyes weren't deceiving her, she had just seen the person who had shot her, their physique, their gait, everything about them seemed eerily familiar.She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself, before steeling resolve and continuing down the hallway towards Hayley's room.Upon reaching the room, Leila found a nurse already inside. "Good Morning." Leila greeted softly as she entered.The female nurse looked up, a smile gracing her lips."Morning. It's a good thing you're here. I was just about to leave." She said.Leila nodded gratefully. "Thank you for staying here."The Nurse waved off her thanks with a casual gesture."You're welcome. All you have to do is go to the doctor for her last prescription."She reached into her pocket and pulled out a key, handing it over to Leila.

"Have a seat." Juliet heard his cold voice say.She glanced around his workers seating beside him, before slowly taking a seat opposite where he sat. She was oddly calm for someone who had seen him hiding a dead body. Was it because he had threatened her? She didn't know. But she felt that it was none of her business. She had a lot of things to take care of in New York. She was yet to start carrying out her plan, so She didn't want to get into someone else's business.Obviously, the person wasn't an important Figure, if not, she'd have heard it on the news. Taking a seat, she took a deep breath, before raising her head to meet his cold gaze."Good Morning." She greeted, breaking the eye contact. She glanced at the other workers and muttered a greeting to them. They responded, but he didn't. Juliet didn't have the fibre to look into his Icy Gaze again. She had never met someone so Cold and unyielding.Even from all the novels she has read, she wasn't sure that any Male characters had s

Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Ex Wife Back A Visit To The Past
VANESSA'S APARTMENT: EVENING Vanessa glanced at her kids one more time before shutting the door behind her. After looking through all she had gotten for them, she coaxed them into going to bed early.As she left the room, her mind suddenly wandered to Riccardo's Grandfather. She stood at the end of the hallway that led to her living room.She sighed tiredly. Why was she suddenly thinking about the old man. Her mind had been at peace ever since. So why now? Was it because of how he took care of her in the past? All the questions swirled in her mind, but no answers came.She suddenly had the urge to go visit him at his house."Oh, Vanessa.

Vanessa tried to compose herself, wiping her tears away before turning to face the person who had called her name. It was the house keeper. She could still remember his face. "Yes, it's me." She said, her voice barely above a whisper. The middle aged man's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you here to see old Mr. Gonzalez?" He asked. "Yes. I am." Vanessa gave a slight nod. "This way." The house keeper led her back to his room. He knocked on the door and ushered Vanessa in. "Vanessa, my dear. Is that you?" Old Mr. Gonzalez asked as Vanessa made her way into the room fully. "Yes. It's me." The old man's eyes widened in surprise, and he struggled to sit up straighter in his bed. "Vanessa, my dear... I didn't know you were here." Riccardo appeared behind him, a look of shock and guilt on his face. He was speechless. He never expected her presence here. Vanessa forced a smile, trying to hide her hurt. "I just wanted to visit," she said, her voice cracking. "I didn't mean to intrude.

TWO DAYS LATER Vanessa’s heels echoed on the marble floor of her office as she paced back and forth, her phone pressed to her ear. Her movements were sharp, her mind racing. For weeks, she had been gathering evidence against Alexander Grey.He had done too much harm, kidnapping Ethan and Emma, orchestrating the failed attempt on her life, and lurking in the shadows, ready to strike again. But she wouldn’t let him win.Her phone call ended with a click, and she stared out of the large window overlooking the city. The evidence was solid. It wasn’t just a small victory, it was the beginning of the end for Alexander Grey. She took a deep breath, her hands clenching at her sides.“Ms. Rodriguez?” Diego’s voice interrupted her thoughts. He stepped into the office.She turned to him, her voice calm but firm. “It’s time, Diego. I’ve sent everything to the authorities. The files, the recordings, everything.

ONE MONTH LATERThe sun hung low in the sky, casting golden light through the windows of Vanessa’s office. She sat at her desk, focused on reviewing a stack of reports. The past month had been hectic. Riccardo had recovered, Lucas had been relentless in tightening security, and life was slowly falling back into its usual rhythm. But today felt... different.Vanessa glanced at the calendar on her desk. It was her birthday, but she had no plans to celebrate. Birthdays had never been a big deal for her, especially not now when there was so much work to do. She sighed, brushing a strand of hair out of her face as she reached for her pen.A knock at the door pulled her out of her thoughts. “Come in,” she called, expecting Lily or Diego with an update.The door opened, and Emily poked her head in. “Ms. Rodriguez, sorry to bother you, but can I steal you for a moment? There’s a small problem with Ethan and Emma.”Vanessa frowned, setting her pen down. “What’s wrong? When did they get back?"

The warm sunlight streamed into Juliet’s room, touching her skin and making her stir. Slowly, she opened her eyes, blinking at the brightness filling the space. For a moment, she stayed still, letting the peace of the morning calm her. Then it hit her, like a storm rolling in.She remembered.Her heart began to race as memories came rushing back. She could hear her stepmother’s cold voice, the cruel words that had shattered her world. Juliet had overheard her stepmother plotting to kill her, all for her father’s money and property. The betrayal still burned deep in her chest.Her breathing quickened as more came back to her. The fear. The panic. She could see herself running, her steps fast and desperate as she tried to escape. She had been so scared that she hadn’t noticed the car. She remembered the blinding headlights, the screech of the tires, and the sharp pain when she hit the ground.And then... Romeo.He had been the one to save her. She saw his face in her mind, calm and stro
Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Ex Wife Back Vanessa's Determination
The quiet hum of the machines filled the room as Vanessa sat by Riccardo’s side, her fingers gently brushing against his cool hand. Each second felt like an eternity as she waited for Lucas. The sound of hurried footsteps pulled her from her thoughts. Vanessa glanced up just as the door opened, and Lucas stepped in. His tall frame filled the doorway, his dark eyes scanning the room until they landed on Riccardo. His face, usually composed, twisted with worry and anger.“Vanessa,” Lucas said, his voice low but steady. He crossed the room in a few quick strides, his gaze fixed on Riccardo. “How bad is it?”Vanessa stood, smoothing her hands down her blazer as if it would steady her nerves. “The doctor said he’s stable,” she began, her voice quiet but firm. “The bullet missed his vital organs, but he lost a lot of blood. He hasn’t woken up yet.”Lucas nodded, his jaw tightening. He pulled a chair beside Riccardo’s bed, his hands curling into fists on his lap as he stared at his unconsci
Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Ex Wife Back Unconscious
Vanessa paced outside the operating room, her heels clicking softly against the sterile tile floor. She kept her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her fingers gripping the fabric of her blazer like it was the only thing keeping her together. Lily and Emily sat on the nearby bench, their faces pale and somber. Diego stood close by as he watched the hall for any sign of the doctor."I can’t believe this is happening," Vanessa muttered under her breath, her voice thick with emotion. She stopped pacing and turned toward the small group. "He took a bullet meant for me.""Ms. Rodriguez," Lily said gently, her voice trembling. "It’s not your fault."Vanessa shook her head, her lips pressed into a thin line. "How can it not be? If he hadn’t been there..." Her voice broke, and she quickly looked away, blinking back tears.Emily, sitting with her hands folded tightly in her lap, glanced up. "He’ll pull through," she said, though her voice lacked confidence. "He’s strong, isn’t he?"Vanessa n
Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Ex Wife Back Ambulance
The faint sound of the ambulance’s siren echoed in the distance, fading as it disappeared around the corner. Vanessa’s heart raced, a knot forming in her stomach as she turned sharply to face Diego. Her voice came out in a breathless whisper, a mixture of fear and urgency."What hospital is the ambulance heading to?"Diego hesitated for a moment, his gaze lingering on her before he quickly checked his phone. The seconds stretched painfully. He didn’t need to ask why. Vanessa’s face was pale, her eyes wide with worry, and she was already halfway to her car."The nearest hospital," Diego finally replied, his voice calm but urgent. "Saint Anthony’s.""Let’s follow them." Vanessa’s voice was steady, though the tightness in her chest made her words feel like they were being dragged from her.Before Diego could protest, she was already inside her car, the engine roaring to life as she slammed the door shut. The sleek black vehicle peeled out of the parking lot, its tires screeching against

The workday finally came to a close, and the sun hung low in the sky, casting a soft orange glow over the city. Vanessa stood in her office, the final task of the day weighing on her mind. Emily and Lily had just walked into the room, the slight shuffle of their shoes breaking the silence.Vanessa smiled as she looked at Emily. "Emily, dear. You did well today."Emily blinked in surprise, a soft smile crossing her face. "Really? Thank you, Ms. Rodriguez. I’m happy to help with whatever I can."Vanessa’s eyes softened. "I appreciate it, truly."Lily cleared her throat, her expression eager. "Are you ready? Let’s go."Vanessa nodded, the last-minute decision still fresh in her mind. "We won’t be using the same car today," she said, her voice firm but calm.Lily raised an eyebrow, and Emily’s face faltered for just a moment, but they both said nothing."I’ve already told Diego. He’s brought another car for me," Vanessa added.As they made their way to the parking lot, the evening air wra

Vanessa paced her office, the tension in her chest growing heavier with every second. She couldn’t let this drag on. The mole had to be identified before the end of the day. Picking up her phone, she called Damien.“Vanessa,” Damien’s voice was brisk.“Get to my office now,” she said without preamble. “We have a serious problem.” She added.“I’ll be there in two minutes,” he replied and hung up immediately.Few minutes later,“What’s going on?” Damien asked, shutting the door behind him. “We have a mole,” Vanessa said bluntly. “Someone leaked the designs for our new product to Grey Enterprises. They launched it ahead of us this morning.”Damien’s jaw tightened. “Do we have any leads?”“Not yet,” Vanessa admitted. “But we don’t have time to play detective. I want this person caught before the day ends.”Damien nodded. “Alright. Let’s start with the basics."He pulled out his laptop and placed it on Vanessa’s desk. “We’ll need to narrow it down.
