Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 20 Tossed me around
*AURORA*It was 9:30 pm that night.I had just finished taking a shower and I started to blow dry my hair.I stared at my cellphone on the table knowing he was going to call any moment from now.And sure enough, the phone started to ring.Taking a deep breath, I picked up.His voice sounded cold and frightening and I tried to be tough.“You’re not coming tonight, are you?” Damon asked.“I’m not.”I replied.“How dare you stand me up? You agreed to come over if I send the invite.”“I changed my mind.”“You…you deceived me? Do you really plan on staying married to that douche? I am offering you what other women would die for!”I sighed, heavily. “If I’m getting a divorce, it should be because I want to not because you’re forcing me to. And for what? To move in with you? You may be every woman’s dream guy but I’ll never let myself get played with again.”He sounded exasperated. “You…you’re pushing me, Aurora.”“Good night, Mr Dumont.”I hung up and placed the phone on the table.I think I

*AURORA*I rode to work, humming my favorite song, and already envisioning a good day at work as usual.I needed to distract myself from the conflicting feelings that a certain man had incited in me.Today, I was covering the mid-day news.I wasn’t just a host, I was also a journalist.I had a lot of news material to go through today and I was looking forward to it.As I arrived at the office, I heard my coworkers gossiping.“I heard this new girl graduated from a top university abroad, HBC’s school of journalism. The boss said she had such an impressive resume.”“If I was the one who graduated from that school, I think I would have wanted to work at the biggest TV station in Madrid, why would she come here?”“And I thought there could be no one better than Aurora.”“Do you really think the director brought her here to compete with Aurora? Maybe he needs someone as productive as Aurora.”“It could be. I mean, Aurora is not only beautiful, she’s a great host, we got lots of traffic sin

*AURORA*What I had wanted to do this year was try to win over my co-workers that didn’t like me.I had wanted to prove to them that I wasn’t someone who robbed Isobel of her life. I had wanted to prove to them that if I had the chance to choose, I’d never snatch someone’s life from them.I had wanted to make them understand that what happened wasn’t my fault.But I realized now that there was no need of trying to win them over.They might only end up finding more reasons to hate me so it wasn’t worth it.Being a news presenter had always been my dream since I was little, it was something I wanted to do, not just for the money but because I had a passion for it.I had a wide range of skills, Alma always said that I was special and that was why I was blessed with so many talents.So yes, with my talents, I had made enough money that could sustain me for the rest of my life.I even had annual dividends from QUEEN’s every year.Financially, I didn’t need to worry at all.I knew Carla was

As Carla watched Aurora walk away, the expression on her face turned cold.From the very first day she met Aurora, she had been very jealous of her.She had wondered how someone could be so beautiful. Her jealousy increased when she found out that Aurora was from a rich family and also had a boyfriend who loved her, dearly.She wanted to be Aurora, she wished to have Aurora’s life and so she set out to seduce Lucien.When the public got to know that Aurora wasn’t a Diaz, it was as if the heavens was on her side. It had given her so much joy to see Aurora in pain.And so she made sure to take everything from Aurora, she wanted Aurora to fall so hard that she wouldn’t be able to get back up.In time, she’ll let Aurora know why she was doing this.***********Carla returned to her hostel’s suite to find Lucien already there.“Didn’t you say you were going home today?”Lucien walked over and hugged her from behind, then he gently rubbed her belly.“I missed you and the baby.”A trace of p

*AURORA*“What sort of drama is this? There is a real and fake Mrs Sullivan?” That voice sounded in the air.I swallowed, recognizing his voice.Damon.I turned around to find him walking up to us.Today, he was dressed, casually in black sweatshirt and sweatpants.I wanted to lie and say he looked less attractive, I wanted to say he looked better only in suits but I had to admit, the man could look majestic in anything.“The polygamy is this city is interesting and it seems like both women don’t even know that they’re married to the same man.”People laughed but I frowned.He knows that I was the real Mrs Sullivan so why was he making a joke about this?I avoided Damon’s gaze, frankly because I hated being in this situation right now.I didn’t want to put up a fight about being Mrs Sullivan because Lucien wasn’t worth fighting for.But at the same time, I didn’t want to be labeled as a mistress.I glanced at Carla who was still looking nervous.After knowing how evil she could be, I

*DAMON*I was puzzled just like how the others were around me on seeing that card.How did she get it?Even if she was from the Diaz family, and is currently married to the Sullivan family, there was still no way she would be eligible for this card.None of the members from both families were.“The only person I’ve seen with this card is Mr Dumont. It is very rare to see it with just anyone.”“Who exactly is this woman?”“There is no way she can be a lowly mistress.”“I’m so curious to know who she is.”Hearing those words, I felt a sense of satisfaction seeing that Aurora had restored her reputation all on her own.Anytime I think I couldn’t get any more fascinated by her, I get ten times more drawn to her.I watched as the manager led her away, while everyone stared at her with so much respect.I recalled her refusing my help.I didn’t mean to put her in an awkward situation. I was curious to see if she truly meant anything to her husband.I was genuinely pissed that he could deny h

The women in the room felt envious of Carla.“Awwn, that’s so sweet. He didn’t want to be separated from you.”Ava asked. “You really should introduce us to him. We need to see the man who loves you that much. Men like him are rare.”Carla smiled, sheepishly.”I will introduce him to you guys later when I get the chance.”Carla didn’t like how calm Aurora looked. From the moment she accepted that she was the news reporter Mr Dumont wanted even if she wasn’t so sure, she had been expecting Aurora to look a mess.But she still had that beautiful, calm look on her face.Even now that she was bragging about her boyfriend who was Aurora’s husband, Aurora still looked composed as if she didn’t care.Carla felt so upset.She wanted to see a pained look on Aurora’s face.The waiters came over and handed the ordering tablets to everyone.Carla handed a tablet to Aurora herself.“Aurora, order anything you want, it’s the least I can do for taking the prime-time position from you.”Carla greatly

*AURORA*“I’ve told you countlessly not to bully Carla. Why do you keep ignoring my words? Do you really want to see what I can do to you?”Lucien barked.I slowly sat on a sofa and admired my freshly done manicure.“What did I do this time?”“You intentionally ordered expensive meals so she wouldn’t be able to pay. How dare you embarrass her in front of those people?!”I was tired of defending myself.Since he was always going to think I was bullying her.Then that’s what he was going to hear.“Fine. I bullied her and I was so going to enjoy watching her make a fool out of herself. There! Are you happy?”“You’re despicable.”“No! The two of you are despicable. You two ruthlessly hurt me, you two made a fool out of me, you two crushed me as if I didn’t matter at all.”“You betrayed me first!”He thundered.” Stop acting like a saint when you cheated first!”I frowned.”I cheated first?”“What happened that night, Aurora?! What happened that night at the club close to our university? Will

Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 40 The Queen
*AURORA*I laid naked on his bed, placing my hands on his back as Damon kissed me over and over again.He was naked, on top of me.He pulled his face back a bit and whispered how beautiful I was.“Do you know how many times you’ve called me beautiful tonight?”I asked him.He grinned.”Well, I think I might need to find words greater than beautiful. I need you to know how beautiful you are every single minute, every hour, everyday.”Should I ban him from saying such sweet words to me, it literally gave me butterflies.I’m not supposed to feel butterflies with him but I liked it when he praises me like this.Maybe it was okay to feel butterflies.He makes me feel beautiful.Damon’s lips brushed across mine, so soft and tender. A tiny kiss at the corner of my mouth, then back to my lips and then my cheek, light like a feather tickling against it.He kissed me on the chi
Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 39 The tension
*AURORA*“You said you spent seven years abroad, when did you come back?”“About six years ago.”I mentally calculated his age from what he had said so far.“So you’re thirty-one.”He grinned.”And you’re almost twenty-five.”I laughed.”You definitely know everything.”“I do.”“Since you got back, do you always cook for yourself?”“Rarely.”“I thought it was a routine you’re used to because of last night and now, you cooked a lot.”“To impress you, I guess. Also, I had a feeling you would be leaving him tonight. I made a feast so we could celebrate.”He then poured us two glasses of wine.He lifted up his glass.”To you, Aurora for…I can’t exactly call that a marriage, so let’s say for leaving the darkness.”I laughed as I
Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 38 Putting on a show
Deep down, Lucien knew that when they were little, Aurora never did anything to put him in a bad spot on purpose.He knew she joined most of those competition because she loved following him around but right now, he just couldn’t describe exactly he felt, he had this hatred for her that he couldn’t explain and that was why he found faults in everything she did, even finding faults in what happened when they were literally kids.But at the same time, he felt she could never leave him. Even if he talked about leaving her all the time, even if he told Carla that he was definitely getting a divorce, he felt that he’d have to put up a huge fight again for Aurora to finally let him go.Her letting go of him this way felt unreal.He lowkey enjoyed having her all over him.She had a smile on her face as she moved closer to him.“You think I was making a scene back there?”She asked.He quickly thought of what to a
Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 37 Immense value
*AURORA*“It’s not a threat.”I informed him.“You love me too much to leave.”He taunted.“You seem to really enjoy knowing that I loved you too much.”“I didn’t ask for you to be so obsessed with me.”I sighed, heavily regretting the fact that I really made it seem I couldn’t live without him.That really gave him the confidence to do whatever he wanted to me. I was never going to let my guard down for anyone again.I was never going to be that stupid.“I don’t care if you believe it or not, but I have no love left for you, Lucien. I want nothing to do with you anymore.” With that, I crouched down and packed up the rest of my stuff.“I’ll tell Grandpa and the others about our separation tonight. This is what we both need.”I said to him as I zipped up my luggage.Just then, the butler came to announce that dinner w

*AURORA*I went back to the TV station and as soon as I walked in, Vance ran up to me.“Aurora, you truly are a blessing to this TV station. The response to the interview was massive, several big advertisers have indicated that they want to invest in our newly opened column, the column’s advertisement space is being booked, rapidly. Several TV stations keep calling for advice. The CEO said there will be a great reward for you.”I smiled.”I’m glad everything turned out well for the TV station.”I replied, politely.A group of people surrounded me.“Aurora, you’re amazing. We’ve been getting calls nonstop from different high societal people. We didn’t even ask to interview them but they are the ones begging to be interviewed by us!”“This is massive!”“How did you convince Mr Dumont to accept the interview?”“I really need to start taki
Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 35 On my terms
*AURORA*I took my hand away from his again.Doesn’t he know if someone sees him holding me like that, it’d definitely be a big deal?Since I was hungry, I asked,”Where are we eating at?”“My lounge.”He replied.***************I was sitting on a sofa at his lounge, watching as Sergio placed a lot of dishes on the table that he had ordered.He nodded, respectfully at us after he was done.“Thank you.”I murmured and then he left the room.Damon was sitting beside me as we began to eat.“So, I told you earlier that I wanted more.”He began as he peeled a shrimp.I almost choked.Couldn’t he talk about sex later?“And I agreed to come over tonight.”“No, not that. More in the sense that, I want you to be my girlfriend.” He let out, sounding so serious.This time, I choked for real.He qui
Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 34 One-sided feelings
*AURORA*I placed my hand on Damon’s arms which were wrapped around me, I tried to break free from him.I was barely trying though.“Mr Dumont, it’s way past the time of the interview and we need to get started now.” I murmured.“The interview starts whenever I want it to.”He replied and pressed his lips against my neck.I shut my eyes, and then recalled I couldn’t get a fresh new hickey right now.It had been hard trying to make the ones from last night less visible.“Damon, stop. We can’t.”I said, firmly this time.Not right now, I wouldn’t be able to focus.He finally let go of me and then turned me around to face him.“Can we at least talk about last night? Why you came to me?”I looked away from his face.“It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it, but let me inform you that there is no way I can s
Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 33 Stop lying
*AURORA*Vance pressed on.”I’ll do anything you want, Aurora. Do you want an apology? I am deeply sorry for this.”Can’t he just go away?“No, no. An apology from me isn’t enough. Carla should also apologize to you since she’s the cause of all this.”I glanced at him.The thought of seeing Carla’s face right now sounded oddly pleasing.She must be so embarrassed after getting praised so much for securing that interview.Standing beside me, Vance gave her a call, ordering her to come over to the TV station right now.She arrived at the station in no time and walked up to Vance.He lashed out on her, immediately.“How could you make such a mess, Carla?! Do you know how much of a disgrace this is if Mr Dumont cancels this interview? How could you claim it was you who nailed the interview when you obviously knew who did?”“Director, I am so
Billionaire's Regret, Too Late! Chapter 32 The host
*DAMON*People rarely crossed me.People rarely pissed me off. They always made sure to be on their best behavior when they were around me.On very rare occasions, when someone dares to even try and piss me off, I always put them in their places.I was never one to let things slide. I was always quick to think of ruthless ways to punish them.But with Aurora, I cannot think of getting back at her.When she pisses me off, I am only momentarily angry and then I was back to wanting her ten times more.So even if I felt mad this morning that she had used me, that anger faded just few minutes later and now I was looking forward to seeing her at the interview.Even if I told her I was going to think about it. I already knew that I couldn’t say no to her.This woman has me in the palm of her hands. And I do not know what to do about it.After my meeting that morning, I headed for the conference room, mentally prepa
