Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Ex Wife Back Hospitalized
Hayley walked out of the rest room and made her way outside the Company's building where Leila would be waiting. Outside, she saw their driver standing in front of the car, but she couldn't see Leila anywhere.She quickly approached the driver. "Sir, where is Leila?" Hayley asked."I haven't seen her. Is there any problem?" He asked."No. I asked her to wait for me outside. Don't worry, I'll go search for her." Hayley muttered, her eyes already darting around the area.She made her way back into the Company's building, but suddenly stopped in her track as she heard her name."Hayley." She spurned around to see who had called her, half expecting it to be Leila."Vanessa, you're here." Hayley said, walking towards Vanessa."Yes, where is Leila?" Vanessa asked."I'm searching for her." Hayley said."Searching? Aren't you both supposed to be together?" Vanessa asked."Yes. Yes. I asked her to wait for me outside while I went to the restroom, but I couldn't find her outside. So, I want to

"It's Okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Vanessa said softly.Hayley glanced up at her. "Thank you." She whispered quietly. Soon, they heard hurried footsteps approaching them and Hayley quickly looked up, it was Riccardo. She quickly rose from her chair and ran towards him."Riccardo, you're here." "Yes, I drove down here as soon as I got your call." He said, leading her to seat down opposite Vanessa who he had not seen yet.Vanessa on the other hand was surprised to see Riccardo there. Then it hit her like a tidal wave, Riccardo had accompanied these two women the last time she was at the hospital.So, definitely he was their friend."Take a deep breath." He said, trying to calm Hayley."What happened?" He asked.Hayley did as he said, then went ahead to tell him all that had happened."Don't worry, we'll get to the root of all these." He assured her."The doctor hasn't come out yet?" He asked."No." Hayley shooked her head, tears already brimming at the corners

"Thank you for bringing Leila here." He added, tucking his hands into his pants pocket.Vanessa was almost tempted to ask him what his relationship with Leila was, but she swallowed back her words because it wasn't her business and she felt that she wasn't in any position to know."It's not a problem." She shrugged."You should go back in. I have to leave." Vanessa said."Alright, I'll see you during the weekend." Riccardo smiled."Weekend? Why?" Vanessa asked, confused for a moment."You forgot already?" Riccardo asked."Forgot what?""That you agreed that I'd take Ethan and Emma out." He said."Oh, so much on my mind." She muttered to herself.Glancing back at Riccardo, she said. "I didn't forget, it just skipped my mind." With that being said, she turned around and began to walk away, leaving Riccardo to stare at her retreating figure.Outside, as soon as Diego saw her, he opened the car door for her and Vanessa settled in.Diego started the car immediately and drove out of the ho

Riccardo pushed the door open violently to see Leila on the floor and Hayley trying to help her up.With steady steps, he advanced towards them with a worried look. "What happened? Why is she on the floor?" Riccardo asked Hayley."I tripped, I didn't see the bag on the floor." Leila said as Hayley helped her sit on the bed."Wasn't that scream a little bit too dramatic for a fall?" Riccardo asked, rubbing his face."I'm sorry. I guess I was just shocked." Leila apologized quickly."You don't need to apologize." Riccardo said, pulling out a chair to sit.He was glad that it was just a fall. Because for a moment, he actually thought that someone had broken into her room through the window."Are you going to stay here to watch us?" Hayley asked, glancing at Riccardo who sat opposite Leila's bed."Yes, till Lucas comes back." He nodded."Okay." Hayley muttered, moving farther away from Leila's bed. She sat on the couch across from her bed.Leila on the other hand, laid on the bed staring

He bumped into her first so Vanessa didn't bother to apologize as she waked past him and walked into th grocery store. If he was really the person behind all of this, then on thing was sure; him bumping into her now wasn't just a mere coincidence it was obviously staged. She turned around to see him walking into his car through the glass window.Vanessa decided to mind her business for now, she faced her front and walked towards the shelfs where flours where kept. She took a 10 gram bag of floor and other little ingredients she needed for baking a Cup cake.After picking them, she went to the counter to pay for what she bought. She walked out of the grocery store with a shopping bag in her hands. Settling down inside her car, she kept the shopping bag on the chair beside her since she was the only one sitting at the back seat.The ride to her house was a quite one as Diego was solely focused on the road in front of them and Lily was busy with some task on her Tablet while Vanessa scro

NEXT MORNING"Bye, babies." Vanessa waved at her kids one last time before their car drove out of the compound. As she walked back into her house, she glanced at the bodyguards stationed in front and sighed. She hoped that this would be enough for now to keep her kids and everyone around her safe.Diego had already assigned some guards that will be guarding Ethan, Emma and Emily in the shadows, to avoid them getting hurt. While the extra cameras would be installed today.Vanessa pushed her door open and walked in, shutting the door quietly behind her. She walked through the living room, making her way towards her room to get dressed.She took her bath early in the morning and had already eaten breakfast with her kids. Entering her room, she shut the door and walked to her closet, trying to pick out a good outfit for the day.After searching through her closet for about ten minutes, she finally settled for a black pants and white blouse with a black leather jacket over it. She matched

When the Jewelry Auction show was over, Diego steadily guided Vanessa out of the Venue before Tiffany could even approach her to cause any troubles. Back inside her car, she took out her phone from her purse as she scrolled through the internet while Diego drove her home.She happened to stumble upon a post of the ROYALS promotion their products and she paused for a while as she recalled what Riccardo had told her about being partners with them.So far, they were the most popular company in America when it came to cosmetic production. Could they be a threat to Leila? She thought.But she quickly shrug the thoughts off as soon as they came. There was no way that would be possible. They've always had a clean record.Instead of thinking of thinking about other People's problem, she decided to think about her own. She logged out of her social media account and went to her Messages.She read through the threatning messages she had received previously. Since that day, she had not received a

As Leila's hand started to tingle, confusion and fear washed over her. She tried to move her fingers, but they didn’t respond. She tried again, but it was still the same thing."Lucas…" she said, her voice trembling. "Something’s wrong." She uttered as quietly as she could.Lucas quickly glanced over, his brows creasing with concern. "What do you mean? What’s going on?""I... I can't move my hand." Leila’s voice shook as she looked down, her right hand hanging limply. "It feels numb. I can’t feel anything."Lucas slowed the car, pulling over to the side of the road. "Take a deep breath," he said, his voice calm but worried. He reached over and gently held her hand, pressing lightly along her fingers. "Does this hurt?"Leila shook her head. "No, it’s just… like it’s asleep, but worse. Like I can’t wake it up."Lucas took a deep breath, keeping his tone steady. "Maybe it’s just temporary. Did you sleep on it wrong?""I don’t know," Leila whispered, worry etched on her face. "I’ve never

Vanessa’s OfficeVanessa sat at her sleek glass desk, her fingers tapping softly against the keyboard of her laptop. The hum of the air conditioning filled the room, blending with the faint rustle of papers on her desk. The muted city sounds filtered through the large floor-to-ceiling windows behind her, casting long shadows across her pristine office. Despite the calm around her, Vanessa’s mind was anything but at ease.A sharp knock broke through the quiet. She paused, lifting her head as her dark eyes flickered toward the door.“Come in,” she called, her voice steady.The door creaked open, and Lily stepped inside, her beige blazer slightly wrinkled as if she had rushed up the stairs. Her usually bright demeanor was replaced by something more subdued, her expression careful.“What is it? Any news?” Vanessa asked, her voice clipped and to the point. She leaned back in her chair, folding her arms across her chest as she studied her assistant’s face.“Yes,” Lily said, hesitating for a

LUCAS’S MANSION: LIVING ROOMLeila sat in the middle of the plush leather couch, her eyes fixed on the large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. The headlines flashed in bold letters: ROYALS ARRESTED FOR MULTIPLE CRIMES. The images accompanying the news showed Monica and Robert Royal being led out of their mansion in handcuffs. Their faces, once filled with arrogance and power, were now masks of shock and humiliation.Leila’s face was unreadable, her expression cold and distant. Her hands rested on her lap, fingers loosely intertwined, but her knuckles were slightly white from the pressure she didn’t realize she was applying. The faint hum of the air conditioning filled the silent room, but her mind was elsewhere, consumed by the events unfolding before her.She had expected this moment for a long time, and now that it was here, it brought her no joy. The Royals were getting what they deserved, but she knew this was just the beginning. The evidence leaked online was only a fraction of

ROYALS MANSIONMonica adjusted her blazer in front of the full-length mirror, her polished heels clicking against the marble floor as she paced the room. The quiet hum of the central air conditioning was the only sound as the grand clock on the wall ticked steadily. Her handbag rested on the arm of the plush leather couch, ready for the day ahead.She took a final look around the living room, the modern decor gleaming under the soft glow of the crystal chandelier. Everything about the Royals Mansion screamed wealth and status, from the white marble floors to the floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a breathtaking view of the city skyline.With a deep breath, she grabbed her bag and turned toward her husband, Robert, who sat leisurely on the couch. A steaming cup of coffee rested on the glass table in front of him, untouched, as he scrolled through his tablet with a calm demeanor."I'm heading out now," she said, her voice carrying a hint of nervous energy. “Wish me luck for today.”R

VANESSA'S OFFICE : NINE A.MVanessa paced the length of her office, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor as she held her phone to her ear. Her reflection in the large window showed her furrowed brow and the way her fingers tugged at the hem of her blazer.“Lily, make sure everything is set up. I don’t want any surprises at this press conference,” Vanessa said sharply, the tension in her voice was unmistakable.“Understood, Ms. Rodriguez,” Lily replied on the other end of the line. “The venue is ready, and the media has been briefed. You just need to arrive.”Vanessa let out a breath, nodding to herself. “Good. Thank you.” She ended the call and set the phone down on her desk.Emily, who had been sitting on the couch, looked up from her phone. “You okay?”Vanessa paused, her hands resting on the back of her chair. “Not really. This press conference could make or break the company. If I don’t handle this right, we’re done for.”Emily stood and walked over, her confidence

NEXT MORNINGThe shrill ringing of Vanessa’s phone jolted her awake. She groaned softly, rubbing her eyes as she tried to push herself up from the warm cocoon of her bed. Squinting at the screen, she noticed three missed calls from Lily.A quick glance at the clock on her nightstand confirmed it was just six a.m.“Why is Lily calling me so early?” she muttered, her voice heavy with sleep.She sat on the edge of her bed, her bare feet brushing against the cool tiled floor, and dialed Lily back. The phone barely rang twice before Lily picked up.“Good morning, Ms. Rodriguez,” Lily greeted, though her voice lacked its usual cheerfulness.“Morning, Lily. What’s wrong?” Vanessa asked, a knot of worry tightening in her stomach.“Ms. Rodriguez, you need to check the trending news,” Lily said, her tone sounding more serious than usual.Vanessa frowned. “What news?” She asked calmly, trying to braze herself for whatever Lily had to say.“It’s all over the internet. I think it’s better you see

FEW MINUTES LATERVanessa grabbed her bag and cast one last glance at Riccardo. His face was unreadable, his dark eyes steady as he stood by the doorway."I'm leaving," she said, adjusting her bag on her shoulder."I’ll come back to pick Emily later," she added firmly."Sure," Riccardo replied, his voice calm and steady. "Stay safe."Vanessa gave a small nod, muttered, “I will,” and headed out the door.Outside, the cool evening air greeted her. Diego stood near the car, his posture straight as ever. The moment he saw her, he moved quickly to open the car door."Thank you," she said, stepping inside. The faint scent of leather filled the air as she settled into her seat.Diego climbed into the driver’s seat and glanced at her in the rearview mirror. "Where’s Emily?" he asked."She’s staying at Riccardo’s for now. I’ll pick her up later," Vanessa replied, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she looked out the window.Diego nodded silently. After a moment, he asked, “Where to?”
Billionaire's Regret: Chasing His Ex Wife Back Talking Things Out
Vanessa pushed open the door to the guest room. The bright overhead bulb illuminated the space, making the white walls appear even more pristine. She expected to see Emily fast asleep, curled up under the neatly folded comforter. Instead, Emily sat cross-legged on the bed, her phone in her hands, scrolling leisurely.Vanessa paused in the doorway, tilting her head. “Why did you say you needed a nap if you’re not even sleeping?”Emily looked up, a playful smile on her lips. “I realized you both needed to talk. So, I gave you privacy.”Vanessa blinked, taken aback by the bluntness of her response. She stepped further into the room, closing the door gently behind her. “Wow,” she said after a moment. “That’s... unexpected.”Emily shrugged, setting her phone aside. “It wasn’t a big deal. You both looked like you had things to say.”Vanessa sat down at the edge of the bed, her movements slow as she processed Emily’s words. “Well, thank you. That was thoughtful of you.”“No problem.” Emily’s

Vanessa glanced around the house as Riccardo led Emily toward the living room. She had only been here once before, and that was under far different circumstances, desperate and frantic, begging him to help find her missing kids and Emily. The house still felt foreign, despite its warm lighting and elegant decor. The scent of polished wood and faint cologne lingered in the air, a reminder of Riccardo’s presence everywhere.She followed them into the spacious living room. The walls were lined with tall bookshelves, the shelves neatly filled, and a large painting hung above the stone fireplace. Vanessa took a hesitant seat on the soft gray couch, her posture stiff. Emily, on the other hand, settled in comfortably, running her fingers over the plush throw pillows.“Ms. Rodriguez, this house is so beautiful,” Emily said, turning her head to glance at Vanessa with wide, admiring eyes.“Yes, it is,” Vanessa replied simply, her gaze briefly flickering to Riccardo, who was pouring tea from a s

Two hours later, Vanessa leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temples as she glanced at the time on her laptop screen. It had been a long day, and the weight of it was beginning to settle in. She was just about to shut her laptop when a soft knock came at her door."Ms. Rodriguez, are you done for today?" Emily’s voice came through as she peeked in.Vanessa glanced up with a small smile. "Yes, dear. I’m just about to wrap up."Before she could finish, the door opened wider, and Lily walked in with Emily now standing beside her, both carrying the faint energy of people eager to leave for the day. Vanessa clicked her laptop shut and rose from her swivel chair, picking up her jacket from the back of it. She took a moment to stretch, rolling her shoulders as she approached them.But as she moved, her mind drifted back to Riccardo. She’d been curt with him earlier, perhaps too curt. A twinge of guilt poked at her chest.Was I too harsh? she wondered. He had helped her find her children, a
