MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE That woman was gone.
(JARED’S POV)I blinked at her words. Huh, what entertainment? When I decided to come here, I knew talking to her wasn't going to be a walk in the park. What was I expecting, that she would warm up to me on the first day we met, three years after I wronged her?She looked... different. More than different. She was stunning, radiant in a way I couldn’t put into words. There was a new confidence about her, something in the way she held herself—stronger, more self-assured. Her hair was shorter than I remembered, but it suited her. Her features were sharper, more mature, like she’d left the softer version of herself behind when I walked out of her life.Still, I didn't expect her outright resentment. It seemed like she hated me so much now, down to hating sharing the same space and air with me, and the realization of that broke my heart more than I expected.But I was not going to back down.I had accosted her as the meeting ended, but she had been really unreceptive until she received

(SOFIA’S POV)It was noon, and I was hungry, but being my lazy self, I didn't have the strength to make food. Pizza, my favorite food, was out of the question as I had been having it non-stop for a week.Scouting for a nice restaurant to have a decent lunch seemed like the best option. And so I got on my phone and began scrolling through the Internet for nice restaurants.Most restaurants within the vicinity didn't catch my fancy since I had visited most of them and their food was now stale to my taste buds.I needed a change, I decided, and kept searching until one caught my attention. It was a big Italian restaurant, somewhat close by, and what was more appealing was that it was new.That meant their food and customer service would be top–notch, as they were still trying to break into their market and would want to please their customers.That decided, I got prepared to leave for the location. On arrival, I was impressed by the sophistication of the place.It had to be the best rest

(SOFIA’S POV)I froze, shock flooding my entire system like ice water. My eyes widened and I feared they would fall out of their sockets, and my breath paused in my heart, making it hard to breathe properly.The scene felt eerily familiar; by this time, the power dynamics seemed to have changed drastically. More like the tables had turned.Rebecca suddenly broke into my thoughts, her voice filled with mockery. "This is our boss, and owner of this place, Arielle Meyers. You can talk to her and I'm sure she will tend to you."My shock doubled as I looked from Rebecca to Arielle. Boss? How come? The last time I checked, Arielle was a mere head chef. When did she grow to the point of owning a restaurant as large as this one? No, this had to be a joke targeted to mess with my head, and I won't let it."You pathetic liar," I growled.The smirk on Arielle's face grew even wider, as she turned to Jared. "What do you think, Mr Smith?"I used that brief moment to take in her looks, and my heart

(JARED'S POV) When Arielle had left with the man on shades, I hadn't really paid attention to him, but now, as they made for the exit door, I couldn't help but stare. One would think I was staring at Arielle, but In reality, I was focused on the burly man. Now this wasn't about me feeling jealous about another man being in such proximity with her, but because something about that man nagged at my guts, sparking a feeling of suspicion. His imposing figure, the dark shades, the rugged aura around him–it all seemed too familiar, like a pattern. I watched them reach the door, my thoughts now tangled with not only how to deal with Sofia but also with a growing unease about the man walking beside Arielle. At the door, Arielle turned and our eyes met briefly. I felt a spark of electricity flow through me, and for a moment, everything else faded as I stared into those warm brown eyes. And then she was gone, walking out through the door. I turned back to Sofia, but before I could say a w

(ARIELLE'S POV) "Goodness, why did I miss such a show?" Ashley exclaimed, her eyes dancing with amusement. She was in my office with Rebecca, as we recounted the encounter with Sofia earlier. "You needed to see the look on her face when she discovered Arielle was the owner of the restaurant. It was even worse than when Arielle walked in with Jared. Worst of all, Jared broke their engagement right there," Rebecca said, her voice dramatic and a little exaggerated. Being her usual chatty self, she did most of the narration. After the encounter with Sofia, I returned to my office feeling satisfied and fulfilled. The look on her face was priceless, and I'd do anything to see that look over and over again. Gone were the days when I was scared of her, and avoided her troubles. Now was a new era, and I'd mete out to people the same treatment they meted out to me, either in the past or now, the present. Also, I had sent for Rebecca and Ashley because I was expecting someone –a Mr St

(SOFIA’S POV)I turned round another street corner, my mind occupied with nothing but pure rage and hurt at the way things turned out moments ago. Did it really take nothing for my whole life to collapse underneath me? Only after leaving the restaurant did I realize that I had left my car behind. I didn't bother going back to get, but kept moving. I had to get rid of this pain in my heart else it might choke me, and the only means that came to mind was to walk it off. “Our engagement has been cut off…,” I heard Jared's words resounding in my head like an unhealthy alien echo.I could still picture the look of satisfaction on Arielle’s face after he’d so easily dismissed me with the most convenient excuse.“ I can’t deal with your public embarrassment and obnoxious attitude anymore…”How convenient for him, I thought to myself. Before today, I’d been pretty sure he loved me for ‘being fierce and very expressive’. I dashed my foot against a loose cobblestone and the pain shot up my bo

(ARIELLE’S POV) After the awkward interview with Stephen Stone — which Rebecca and Ashley didn’t stop teasing me for, I stepped out of the restaurant to get Maverick from school. If traffic and the weather were forgiving I’d make it just in time to redeem myself for picking him up late. I hurried out of the restaurant into the car, grateful to Big Joe as he held an umbrella over both our heads. “Thank you,” I nodded gratefully to him, once I was settled in the comfort of the car. “Please move as fast as you can,” I instructed, after letting out a tired sigh. “Of course.” Thankfully, the rain had let down into a soft drizzle by the time we arrived at Maverick’s school. I was lucky to spot an ice cream van in the corner and I said a little prayer of thanksgiving at the universe’s decision to gift me a chance to redeem myself with my baby. I didn’t plan on letting him down on my first day picking him up from school. Usually, my mother would fuss over doing it, since he resumed ki

(JARED’S POV) “I hope I’ve made myself clear? Because I won’t be as nice the next time!” Arielle’s mother hissed through gritted teeth. One look at the fire in her eyes and I knew right away that she wasn’t joking about her threat. The spot where her palm has struck my cheek stung like it had been doused with a generous amount of boiling oil. I looked past her and at Arielle. There was a brief look of pity on her face before her expression steeled into hostility. I looked away in embarrassment, holding a hand up to my face. “Of course, ma’am ,” I nodded, my eyes fixed on the ground as I slowly backed away from them. I’d hardly taken three steps backwards before Arielle’s mother stormed past me, guiding the boy with one hand. My eyes trailed their movement, briefly making contact with boy’s as his grandmother pulled him into a waiting car just outside the school premises. When I turned around to face Arielle, I found she’d somehow slipped past me while I had my back turned to her

(JARED'S POV)I smirked inwardly as Arielle gave in. I shouldn’t be so quick to admit it, but her reluctant response was like music to my ears.Of course, my real motive was far from what she thought it was. It was far simpler than she could ever guess.I just wanted to be close to her again. To create chances for us to be alone, to feel that spark between us once more.Yeah, I knew. I’d always been a little silly that way.Even seeing her irritated face, the way her eyes flashed with that familiar fire, made something warm spread through me. There was a certain comfort in it. I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed seeing that side of her—the side that wasn’t guarded, that wasn’t numb from years of hurt. The side of her that used to laugh at my dumb jokes and argue with me about everything, even the smallest things.I almost forgot that I hadn’t slept all night.I’d been stewing over every misunderstanding and every word we’d exchanged these days, all night. And in the end, I realized
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE The Devil's bargain.
(ARIELLE'S POV) After a complicated, chaotic day, I finally managed to get some barely decent sleep and was ready to start the new day with a solid dose of confidence. No more chaos. No more emotional turmoil! At least, that was the plan… Until... “Explain. This.” That was the first sentence out of my mouth this morning, my teeth practically grinding as I stared at the scene in front of me. There, on my desk, was a bunch of lavender. And sitting in my chair, my ex-husband. After our encounter yesterday, I had assumed that that would be the last I'd see of him until Maverick's Open house party in two weeks! "What the hell are you doing in my office?" No wonder Rebecca had given me that smug smile on my way in earlier, and now I understood why! Jared glanced up from the business reports he was casually flipping through, looking annoyingly cool and too handsome for his own good. "You're late," he said simply, like he belonged there, behind my desk. I took a deep breath, try
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE The gray areas.
(ARIELLE'S POV)As I approached my car, I couldn't help but scan my surroundings, half–expecting to see Ashley lingering nearby. But she was nowhere to be found, and I didn't blame her. With her encounter with Jared earlier, staying back was not exactly a good option.As I slipped into the driver's seat, I made a mental note to call her as I got home, just to make sure she made it to hers safely. I started the car's engine afterward, and began my drive home. The roads were quiet, the only sound emanating, that of my car's engine, and the occasional passing cars. I tried to focus on the road ahead, but my mind kept drifting back to Jared.His words still stung, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of hurt every time I thought about it. Why had he said he loved me, only to call it bluff moments later? I replayed the conversation in my head, trying to make sense of it all. I sighed, my head a myriad of emotions. When could he stop being so childish?I was angry at Jared for toying wi
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE Bargaining chips
(JARED’S POV)I looked into Arielle’s eyes intently, my chest rising and falling heavily with effort as the rest of the world went silent around us. She looked at me, her breathing matching mine—barely existent, all withdrawn because of the shock of my outburst. All I could hear were my own thoughts, racing."Sorry," I muttered quickly. "It just... came out.""Why apologize for saying you love me?" she asked, her voice quiet but sharp. "And for real—why do you suddenly love me now?"I was taken aback, choked with confusion. What was she saying?But then, she averted her gaze, refusing to meet my eyes. She wrapped her arms around herself, as the cold evening breeze swept over us. I looked up at the sky, realizing just how much time had passed since we started this conversation."Look at how much time has passed," I said softly, then quickly took off my jacket and draped it over her shoulders.“No, thank you.”Her honest rejection stung, but I forced a smile, nodding in understanding.
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE A ruse
(ARIELLE’S POV)My eyes trailed after Sofia as she rose from the table. The sudden twist of plans had taken a very hard toll on her and I knew she’d gone into the bathroom to pour out her heart. I almost felt bad for her. Almost. But the air in the room was growing unbearably awkward, and I needed to leave as soon as possible. I quickly nudged Ashley in the side, silently signaling that it was time to go.“We’ll be taking our leave now,” I said and kicked back my seat. Ashley followed suit and picked up her purse from the table. “Oh… but we’re not done speaking yet, my dear,” Mrs. Smith said nicely.“Yes, we don’t know if we have your blessing yet,” Tiana chimed in, her wide eyes looking at me innocently. She put her hand on Jared’s on the table and I could see an unmistakable restraint— just the tiniest bit— from Jared. For a moment, I couldn’t help but feel a flicker of annoyance. Tiana reminded me of a spoiled child throwing a tantrum.I pushed the feeling aside and forced a smi
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE Lost to life yet again
(SOFIA’S POV)The air in the room was charged with raw tension, alive and electric. Jared was still standing by the door with his new girlfriend — my replacement, perched on his arm. She didn’t even have the decency to stand by herself, leaning on Jared the whole time like a silly highschool teenager out with her crush. I rolled my eyes and looked away. I wanted to be anywhere but in the same room with Jared and Arielle. It all felt insanely awkward, like walking around the house with no clothes on. Jared himself looked uneasy at the sight of Arielle in the house but he did well to mask it up almost immediately. He took his arm off the lady and prodded her forward before shutting the door behind them. He stepped into the house and nodded to his mother. “Good afternoon, mum.” Then he looked at Arielle and Ashley, and said a polite, “Good afternoon.”Arielle nodded coolly before Ashley followed suit. I could sense the malice rippling off of her, like a wild hunger to cause Jared s
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE A bittersweet reunion
(ARIELLE’S POV)We walked like robots, mechanically, still stunned by the unexpected turn of events. Who would have known we were walking right into the arms of Jared’s mother?Ashley was silent beside me on the sofa. She had her arms folded across her chest, and I could see the apprehension on her face as she stared at Sofia. For moments after Sofia opened the door for us, my ears lost their ability to receive sound, or perhaps my brain halted abruptly with processing the received sound waves. Either way, I heard nothing but silence and the muffled sound of voices as Jared’s mother called out to the housekeeper. From the edge of my vision, I could see her approach, but I’d been too lost in my mind to realize she was coming over to me.“Shall I get you tea or coffee?” the lady asked politely. I blinked furiously to draw my mind back to the present. All the while, I’d been looking at the pair of Sofia and Mrs. Smith through skeptical eyes. Something didn’t sit right and I could feel

(ARIELLE S POV)The rest of the morning passed quietly as I cleaned the apartment after Dwayne left. His place had a certain charm to it. It wasn’t flashy, but there was a quiet allure in the way everything was arranged. Much like Dwayne himself. Effortlessly captivating.As I was about to tidy up the bed, a familiar feeling washed over me. My period had arrived—earlier than expected. I quickly grabbed a spare tampon from my bag and hurried to the bathroom to check. A little blood, just as I’d thought.I sighed softly.By the time I finished, another ten minutes had passed. No wonder I’d been so emotional yesterday, or the back pain that kept me tossing and turning last night.It’s funny, how your body never feels like it’s changing, but then, just like that, it reminds you time is slipping by, one day after another, unrelenting in its passage. How many more days like this would I have before I’d feel truly different?Life just goes on.I should ask Dwayne if women deal with blood mo
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE A night of solace, and the morning after.
(ARIELLE’S POV)The air had grown colder, the chill creeping into my bones. Dwayne wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his chest. “Are you cold?” he asked, his voice soft with concern.I wiped my tears, shaking my head.All I could feel was exhaustion. My mind had turned to mush, too drained to form a single coherent thought.Dwayne studied me carefully before running his fingers along the side of my face. I turned away. He didn’t say a word, just shrugged off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders. Then he handed me a helmet, carefully helping me strap it on.“Thank you,” I whispered as I snuggled closer to him on the motorcycle.I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. They came in waves as we rode, the cold wind stinging my face, but it couldn’t stop the flood of emotions. Jared’s words replayed in my head, over and over, like a broken record. The image of him and Sofia, sitting together, haunted me.“Go to the pub,” I said, shivering against Dwayne’s back. “I need a co
