Michael’s POV

“Etta, I’m sorry.” these were the last words I said before blacking out.

TWO WEEKS AGO

“What am I supposed to do, Max?” I sat at the bar drinking myself into a stupor.

“She wouldn’t even allow me to touch Valerie,” I lamented.

“That’s because what you did was really cruel, dude,” Max replied.

“So, what do I do?” I asked fatigue etched on my face.

“Maybe you should visit Valerie,” He suggested.

“I want my baby back. And I also want my wife back.” I lamented.

“I don’t even know what to tell Valerie when I see her,” I replied frustrated.

“Just tell her you are her father,” Max replied.

“And you think she’s going to believe that?” I asked.

“She’s just three years old.” Max cheered.

“Alright then,”

Signaling to Alex, I asked him for Marietta’s movement.

“She seems to have flown back to America. She has issues with her manager,” Alex explained.

“Can you pull some strings for me? I need to see my daughter. Bella already recognized me as her father,” I asked.

    Marietta’s POVI was in a meeting when Clara badged in. “Ma’am,”“I’m in a meeting. Anything else can wait,” I whispered.“I’m not sure this can wait,” Clara stepped in. Handing my phone over to me.BILLIONAIRE’S DAUGHTER, VALERIE WHITMORE GOT SHOT AT HER SCHOOL PLAYGROUND“Please, can we reschedule this meeting?” I asked the board.“Sure,” Mr. Lucian answered.Making my way out of the company in tears, I aimed towards Valerie’s school.“Ma’am,” Clara handed my phone over to me.“Michael, where is my daughter?!” I charged in anger.“She’s here with me in the hospital. I will text you the address,” he replied. Soon, a notification popped on my iPhone. In under a few minutes, my car pulled over at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.Just like I presumed, the reporters were already at the hospital entrance. Right now, I wasn’t ready for any questions.“Is there any other entrance to the hospital?” I turned towards Clara.“No. This is the only one,” Clara answered.“Make a way for me then

  • His Regret: Winning Back Her Heart   Chapter 22 - I Got The Wrong Woman

    Michael's POV "But what doctor?" I dragged him by the cloth. It was one thing that Etta already hated me, and now she is about to lose her child. “Doctor! She’s awake,” one of the nurses screamed from behind. Quickly, the doctor left. Assuring us that Valerie will be fine. “Get the hell out of here, Michael.” Marietta charged. “I don't need any of you here!” She snapped. Pointing her fingers at me and Granny. “I'm sorry–” “Leave, Michael!” She spat. “From now on, it's strictly business and nothing more.” These were her last words to me. “Granny, I think we should leave,” I supported my grandmother. “I cannot Michael. I want to see my great-grandchild.” My Granny fussed. “Then you could have done better,” Etta glared. With her fist clenched, she moved closer to the both of us. “You sent me packing when I needed you,” she retorted with cruel indifference. “None of you believed me.” She protested hotly. “I can't even believe I allowed you to touch Valerie.” sh

  • His Regret: Winning Back Her Heart   Chapter 23 - My daughter Lost Her Memories?

    Marietta’s POV Just after Michael left, I felt a bit at ease. “Are you okay?” Elsie held me tight. Shrugging his hands off. I nodded. “I'm fine,” “Do you need me to get you anything?” He wiped my face gently. “Nothing. I'm okay,” I sighed. “About earlier. I didn't mean to. It just slipped out,” I stuttered. “You mean the fiance part?” He smiled. “It's quite understandable.” He replied. “You should have a seat,” I beckoned Elsie. I could see his reluctance, but he just couldn't say no to me. “I'm sorry if I did too much earlier.” Elsie started. “No,” I replied. “Don't apologize,” I said with a soft smile. “People like Michael really deserve to be kicked in the ass,” I bit my lip shyly. And as we waited for the doctor, I started to feel sleepy. “Do you want to lean on my shoulder?” Elsie asked. “No, I'm fine.” I quickly adjusted myself. “Marietta,” he called. My heart skipped a bit as I avoided Elsie’s eyes. His finger lifted my face to his, as I

  • His Regret: Winning Back Her Heart   Chapter 24 - It's Too Late For Sorry

    Marietta’s POV The beeping machine kept on going. Almost on the thin line, I didn't know when I screamed. “Doctor!” I ran out of her ward. “Etta, you have to calm down,” Elsie held me tighter. “My baby can't remember me again,” I burst into tears. As I watched the doctor inject her to sleep. I wiped off my tears. “Doctor, is my baby going to be fine?” I stuttered amidst my tears. “Yes. She just feels threatened,” the doctor replied. “Threatened? I'm not a stranger doctor,” I cried out. “Yes. You are not. But for her to regain her memories, you need to take it slowly,” the doctor explained. “Slowly? I worked for three good years before I got here, doctor,” tears flowed down my cheeks. “Everything I did for the last three years. I did it for her. For us.” I burst into more tears. “Ms. Etta. I promise this situation is not going to last for long.” The doctor consoled me. I felt Elsie's hand on my shoulder. Pulling me into his embrace. I wept bitterly. “Right now, you can t

    Marietta’s POV A few days have passed, and I could barely hold my feelings. “You still love him, don't you?” Bella asked. “I don't know, Bella.” I winced. “I'm so confused,” “I thought you wanted to have your revenge on him?” Bella started. “I know. But, Valerie is not even making this whole thing easy you know?” I cried. Running my hands through my hair. “Elsie–” “Please, Bella. I don't want to talk about him,” I cut her off abruptly.“Why?” Bella questioned further. “Because–just because,” I paused. “You are in love with him too?” Bella scoffed. “No way on earth I'm going to believe this?” Bella screamed. “You are in love with both of them?!” “Bella, I know this is stupid–” “It is stupid, Etta!” Bella yelled. “It's fine,” I replied. Suddenly, the door flung open, revealing Valerie. “I thought she was sleeping all along,” I whispered. “Come, baby,” Bella beckoned to her. At least, she now recognizes me as her mom. One that Michael was able to do for me. FLASHBACK T

  • His Regret: Winning Back Her Heart   Chapter 26 - When Karma Strucks

    Michael’s POV “Get.your.hands.off.my.woman!” Elsie raged. Rushing towards me in anger, Marietta stopped him. “Elsie. You need to stop,” I watched her place her hand on his chest. “He's not worth it,” she heaved a sigh. Turning to face me. She seethed “Leave Micheal. I don't want you back here anymore,” “A chance is all I need Etta.” I tried to get closer to her, but Elsie wouldn't allow it. “You have just three seconds to leave here.” He yelled. “You need to leave, Michael.” Etta spat angrily. Since it was obvious that no one wanted me here. I made my way out. “But can I always come to see Val–” my words were interrupted by Marietta slamming the door in my face. “Yeah right,” I shrugged. Just as I got back to where my car was parked, I could hear Alex whispering to someone on the phone. “Alex,” I called. “Boss,” he stuttered. “What's going on?” I questioned impatiently. “Nothing.” He quickly answered. I was about to ask another question when my phone rang. “What?!” Al

  • His Regret: Winning Back Her Heart   Chapter 27 - An Enemy Within

    Marietta’s POV Just after Michael left, I broke down in tears. “Elsie, please can you leave?” I spoke between my tears. “Do you love him?” Were the words that followed. “Can we not do this right now?” I spat angrily. Turning my back to leave, he pulled me into his embrace. His breath fanned my neck, as his hand circled around my slim waist. “Do I really not mean anything to you?” He paused. Flipping me to face him, he tilted my face. “Tell me you don't feel anything for me–” he paused with his eyes closed. Bringing me much closer, his gaze settled on my lips. My cheeks burned red hot, and I swear I could feel the veins on my head pulsating. “Elsie I–” “Etta?” Bella's voice interrupted the moment leaving me perplexed. “I'm sorry if I interrupted you guys. I will just go,” “Bella, stay!” I shouted. I wasn't ready for all of this. And I want to escape from Elsie so badly. How can two men have this kind of hold on me? This wasn't the revenge I planned.

    Marietta’s POVSlowly motioning towards us, I turned to face Bella, who nodded her head in approval.“I’ll sort this out,” I said.As I watched Bella take Aiden inside, I heaved a sigh. I blinked back my tears multiple times.“I know what you did, Michael,” I started.I stared at him, but he seemed to be staring at the door. The entrance where Bella and Aiden had passed a few minutes ago.“Is there something you have to say to me, Michael Whitmore?” I said beneath my breath.I swallowed hard, my eyes leaving his at every point in time. I cannot believe how far I have come just because of the love I had for this man who never, for once, loved me back.But now, he wanted me back all of a sudden. “You are not safe here, Marietta.”“Why?” I questioned anxiously.“Is that why you’ve come?” I asked, staring at him.“Y–I mean no. Marietta,” he came at me, trying to hold me by the hand. “Listen to me–”“No, you listen to me!” I yanked my hands off him, trying to keep my voice down.“Look aro

    Marietta’s POVMy breath hitched as I felt him closing in on me. I couldn’t process my next word as I swallowed hard, my eyes fixed on his Adam's apple.Did he mean what he said? “Relax,” he smiled, before helping me put the seatbelt on.“I was only joking,” he giggled a bit, and returned to his seat.I felt my heart pumping faster as I quickly hid my trembling hands.That was a fast one. I can’t believe I’m falling for someone who looks like Elsie–I mean, Jackson and Michael. I don’t pray to ever have those kind of people in my life ever again. “I’m sorry I frightened you,” he replied.With his hands still on the wheels and his eyes on me, I nodded abruptly.“That startled me,” I smiled briefly before holding back. “You might want to focus now,” I said, feigning a smile.All through the journey back to the office, I couldn’t believe Aiden would risk his life to come looking for me.Why could he have done that? Was he really in love with me? Michael has never come to my place wi

    Michael’s POV“Make findings about that young man,” I commanded Donovan before losing my tie angrily.“Yes, boss.”I stared at my angry self in the mirror and smashed it into pieces, causing blood to drip out of it.“You are bleeding,” Donovan said, looking behind. “Leave!” I shouted, clenching my fist in anger. Pity wasn’t what I wanted right now. All I wanted was to win back her heart. To defeat our enemies and make them bow at our feet. To make Gloria and Katty pay for what they have done. And finally, to be with the woman I love. “She doesn’t love me anymore,”“You never can tell,” Donovan cuts in, his eyes boring into mine.“What do you know?” I lashed out, scattering the books in my study room.I watched each paper drop to the ground as Donovan quickly picked them up.“You need to calm down, Michael!” He yelled, holding me firm, his eyes boring into mine.“I can’t come down! Don’t you get it!” I shouted “Michael I–” Donovan heaved a sigh, his grip on my shoulders started to

    Marietta’s POVI trembled in fear upon seeing how Elsie was killed in the twinkle of an eye.I felt my vision blur as migraine set in. Bella rushed towards me, helping me back on the couch.“That was Jackson?” I asked.Bella nodded, and memories came crashing back. How he had lied to me–Everything.“I remember everything now,” I whispered slowly. From Jackson to his brother. I remembered how Valerie had died.I also remembered how Katty had betrayed me. And how I had decided to give Michael a second chance before losing the memories.“Hey,” Bella held my face back to hers, as tears rolled down my cheeks.It dawned on me that I had denied Michael, and that was why he pulled those stunts on me on the award night.“I accepted Michael’s apology some time ago,” I whispered with tears rolling down my cheeks. “I told him–” I took a pause, my body trembling against Bella. “Shhhhh…Michael doesn’t deserve you. None of them does.” Bella cuts in.“From now on, Etta. You are living for yourself.

    Michael’s POVI had carefully sat across my reading table, watching Katty getting wedded to Elsie. She succeeded in ruining my life, and now she thinks she could get a good one? Especially with the sterling, it wasn’t going to happen.“Until I put you all under my feet!” I clenched my fist in anger, staring at the screen vividly. Waiting patiently for the assassin whom I had paid to kill both of them.Just then, a knock landed on the door. Standing at the entrance was Donovan.“Is he in already?” I questioned. Since it was Jackson who was getting married today, I was sure the security would be tight, and that is why I had sent my assassin to go a day before the wedding.“Yes, boss.”“Good.” And as we sat down to watch what was about to happen, a smile trailed off my lips.“Do you, Katty, accept this man as your husband? To love and to cherish? In sickness or in health? Till death do you part?” The priest questioned, and I smiled mockingly. Knowing fully well that this was going to
