MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE The accident
(SOFIA’S POV) I arrived at "Elegance," a popular unisex fashion clothing shop patronized only by the rich. Being a regular caller, I was treated well as I walked to the female section to shop for new arrivals. "Welcome back, Sofia, "Jenna, the sales manager said, approaching me with a smile. "Hi, Jenna. Just browsing new arrivals," I replied, scanning the racks. "We have some lovely pieces from the latest collections," she said, leading me to the designer section. After selecting a few dresses and trying them on, I made my final choices. At the checkout counter, Jenna summed up my purchases. "Total comes to $10,000," she announced. I handed over my black card, and she withdrew the amount. Afterward, I pulled out wads of bills from my purse and handed them to her. "Here, for being a nice girl." "Thank you. Bye," she called out. I nodded and walked out, bearing the shopping bags. Getting into the Bentley, I felt a thrill, and I suddenly craved speed. It gave me a surge

(JARED'S POV)I was buried in work when Sofia’s call cut through the silence, pulling me from my focus.Ok what happened this time? When could she stop causing trouble? I sighed and suppressed my anger as I listened to her crying on the other end of the phone. She lived under my roof; her safety was something I couldn’t ignore. Now I knew that was my karma. I shut my laptop, grabbed my keys, and left.As I drove, I silently prayed that the accident was not as bad as she had explained over the phone. Halfway there, I hit a red light. Frustration gnawed at me as I tapped the steering wheel, waiting for it to change. That’s when my gaze drifted, scanning the surrounding cars. It was then I noticed a grey Audi beside me.This wasn't a rare model, but it looked particularly familiar somehow.Something stirred in me—Ashley’s car? But why would she be in this part of town? My eyes narrowed, curiosity taking hold. I leaned forward, trying to peer through the tinted window.There, in the pa

(JARED'S POV) I blinked and went over the headline again, ensuring I was not reading wrong. But the words did not go away. They were there, as bold as ever. Then I swallowed hard, forcing my gaze down to the picture below, and my breath hitched. It was her. Arielle. The same lady at the airport. The same lady in Ashley's car. Little wonder I was drawn to her earlier in the traffic.How could I be so blind?Twice, in just a few days. At the airport, where I had felt that strange pull but brushed it off. In the car, where I tried to catch a glimpse, but she vanished before I could truly see her. Both times, I had let her slip away. The realization hit me like a ton of hot breaks, shattering my heart. How could tease fate trade me like this? I had thought I'd never see her again. But here she was.I stared at her picture, my heart pounding. Arielle. Back in town. Successful. Famous, even. Her name was splashed across the article, announcing her as the new ambassador chef for Ita

(ARIELLE'S POV)It was my first day back since returning home, and a sense of excitement and nervousness buzzed under my skin. Today, I’d be visiting my restaurant site and attending a pivotal meeting with delegates from the prestigious Paradiso Culinary Academy—my alma mater—for the ambassador endorsement I’d worked so hard to secure.This was a chance to shape the culinary world in ways I’d dreamed about during those long, challenging years in Italy.Excitement flowed through my veins as I thought about the benefits that came with the position –an expensive company car, fully funded insurance, and a hefty payroll that would get me rolling in a lot of dollar bills. The perks were nice.But what I craved was to leave a lasting mark on Paradiso’s menu, its identity, and its patrons. This was my stage, and I was ready to own it.I slipped into my tailored black dress, the fabric hugging my figure in all the right places. Simple, elegant. With nude makeup to highlight my features and a q

(Arielle's POV) I returned home finally, exhausted but fulfilled. My Mom and son were already waiting in the sitting room, and they sprung on me, yelling their felicitations as I walked in. "We saw the news!" Maverick exclaimed, jumping on me. "You're famous now, Mama." "Congratulations, my darling. I'm so proud of you," Mom said. I smiled, sharing in their happiness. "Thanks, guys." I walked to the couch and we all settled in it and I filled their eager ears with how my day went. But of course, I ensured to keep the accident and the encounter with Sofia's part out, so they don't freak out. After my narration, I excused myself as I was dying to shed the dress and accessories I had on my body. "Excuse me, you two," I said, rising to my feet. "I need to shower and rest a little." "Dinner will be ready soon," my Mom reminded me. I nodded, grateful for the brief reprieve. Once inside my bedroom, I peeled off my dress, craving comfort. The hot water in the shower felt like a

(ARIELLE'S POV)After driving for a while, I finally brought the car to halt at a spot I considered safe and tried to catch my breath. My hands shook uncontrollably on the steering wheel, while my heart thudded fast like it would jump out of my chest.I tried to calm down, else I might not be able to drive myself home in that state. Taking slow, deep breaths, I tried to get a grip on myself. Panic tried to press in on me, but I pushed aside the feeling. I can't have a panic attack, no, not here.After a few minutes, my heart rate slowed down to normal, and my hands steadied. Satisfied that I was okay to drive again, I turned the car back on, and resumed driving home, my senses now on high alert.As I drove, I grew increasingly anxious, as I tried to figure why someone would follow me. It didn't add up, and intermittently, I looked at the rearview mirror to ensure the person was not behind me.Each glance revealed nothing suspicious, but I still had to be extra careful. I couldn't ris

(JARED'S POV) My phone rang, breaking the silence in my office. I glanced at the screen to see my investigator's name flashing. "Talk to me," I answered. "Do you have an update?" "Yes, I do," he replied and hesitated. "Go on," I urged. "Unfortunately, I was unable to trail her to her house. She noticed I was following her and she made me lose her." My jaw clenched and my grip on the phone tightened. "Is all you do is give excuses?" I snapped. "Calm down, Sir. Please, hear me out," he pleaded. I exhaled, forcing myself to remain silent and let him continue. "I was unable to follow her to her house as planned yesterday, but I managed to get the address of her restaurant." "Her restaurant?" I repeated, my interest piqued. "Yes, she's building her restaurant, and it's opening next week." I sat up straight on the chair now. "Send me the address." After the call ended, I reclined back on my chair, lost in thought. Arielle was not just back; she was setting up her own restauran

(ARIELLE'S POV)My restaurant, A and M, an initial for Arielle and Maverick, had finally opened its doors to the public the previous day, and today, I was hosting a meeting with potential shareholders of my restaurant. The response and turnout has been overwhelming, and I was excited to discuss the future of my business with these interested individuals.A number of them had arrived, and a few were on their way. The meeting wouldn't start without them, and besides, it wasn't yet time for the meeting, so the wait was worth it.The entrance door went open, and I already knew it was one of the interested individuals coming in, so I braced myself and put on a smile, ready to welcome whomever it was with a smile, like I had done to the others.The figure walked in, and the smile on my face faltered. I froze, eyes widening and mouth almost hanging open. What the hell in Hades was happening here? My head exclaimed, as I locked eyes with the newcomer.No way! Jared?Against my will, my eyes

(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

(ARIELLE'S POV)I relied on my memory to remember the box Jared had been in earlier. My heart was beginning to race, and I could feel my hands growing sweaty. I wiped them on my dress, trying to calm myself down.For a moment, I hesitated in front of the door. I hadn’t planned out exactly what to say, but I knew I was ready to talk. If it came down to it, I was even prepared to apologize, to lower my pride for the sake of the conversation we needed to have.This wasn’t just for Jared—it was for our son, for myself, and for all the tangled pieces of our past and present.A strange flicker of excitement mingled with my nervousness.But before I could knock, the door swung open abruptly, and a drunken stranger stumbled out, nearly colliding with me.I winced, recalling my encounter with the three men earlier.Flustered, I hurriedly slipped inside, scanning the room as well. But as soon as I entered, I couldn’t help but frown. The heavy smell of alcohol and bodies hit me instantly. The at

(ARIELLE'S POVAs we drove along the road, I leaned closer to the window, my gaze fixed outside. It wasn’t the scenery that held my attention but the way my thoughts felt heavier with every mile. Then something caught my eye—QuickFix Auto.At first glance, it was just a car repair shop. Ordinary, unremarkable. But as I stared, recognition hit me like a wave.I blinked, the name tugging at a memory I hadn’t thought about in years. Suddenly, it all came flooding back.It was six years ago, early in our marriage. I’d spent an entire day selling cakes at a charity event. The rain had started pouring just as the event ended, and I’d gotten stuck with kids whose parents hadn’t shown up to pick them up yet. I called Jared, frustrated and soaked, filling him in. What I didn’t know then was that he had canceled a flight and rescheduled an important meeting. Just to come for me.But life being what it was, his car broke down as soon as he reached me.I could still remember the two of us, shive
