MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE Chapter 177
ARIELLE'S POV) It's been days since the kidnap incident, and I'd been trying to move on, getting back to my life. Though the experience still lingered, I took preventive measures to ensure it didn't repeat itself. I’d taken the week off, leaving the restaurant in the capable hands of Stephan and

In the end, I settled on Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup, Pizza Casserole, King Ranch Mac and Cheese. Comfort food. Neutral. At exactly 6 p.m., the doorbell rang. I wiped my hands on a towel, took a deep breath, and opened the door. Jared stood outside, a bottle of wine in his hand. "Hi," he beamed at me

(ARIELLE'S POV) Maverick’s curiosity was boundless, and Jared answered each of his questions with a patience that somehow irritated and intrigued me. But then Maverick dropped a bombshell. "Dad, will you stay the night?" Maverick asked, his eyes gleaming expectantly. Heat shot up my face, and

“What is your problem?” I muttered, hating the unsteadiness in my voice. “You need to leave.” His grip loosened, but his eyes searched mine, dark and unreadable. “Arielle,” he murmured, his voice dropping an octave. “All I’m asking for is a chance. Let me prove it to you. To him.” I shook my hea

(ARIELLE'S POV) I stood, frozen, my mind still reeling from Jared's revelation. The hell? Jared Smith, the ever-composed billionaire, suddenly broke and homeless? It didn’t add up. Especially not with his influential family in the wings. What kind of game was he playing this time? The toothbrush

(ARIELLE'S POV) As I watched Jared and Maverick walk ahead, Jared's suitcases rolling behind him, I decided that now was not the time to be overwhelmed. This was temporary. I had to brace up and tough if I wanted to scale through this. Maverick’s chatter filled the hallway as he beamed up at Jared

"Mom, I need your help," I said, seeking her opinion as we sat on the couch in the living room, flipping through a magazine. My mom raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Decided you can't handle him after all?" She teased, her voice filled with sarcasm. I rolled my eyes, feeling h

MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE Chapter 405
(DWAYNE’S POV.) For moments after Arielle spoke I remained silent, clenching and unclenching my fists in fury. I gritted my teeth so hardly they might have turned into fine power under the pressure. Nothing made sense. Jared opened his mouth to speak and closed it. Arielle remained silent herself,

(DWAYNE'S POV)I strode into the room, my eyes locking onto Jared. The anger burned low in my gut, rising with every step, threatening to snap its leash. I had known. My instincts had screamed at me, warning me that something was off. And of course, Brown had tipped me off just in time—restless, pacing, sensing an intruder before I even stepped onto the property. Jared. I knew he would do this. Bypass me. Come straight to Arielle. Because he knew exactly what he wanted—to take her away. To convince her to take the risk. Arielle stood calm, as if she had already processed the weight of the conversation before my arrival. She turned to me, her voice measured. *“We were… discussing a possible new treatment.”* A treatment. Right. That’s what he was selling. I barely kept my expression neutral as I shifted my gaze back to Jared. “We already heard the diagnosis, Jared. And you were there when the doctors said it—Arielle’s body isn’t in any condition for experimental procedure
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE Chapter 403
(ARIELLE'S POV) In Flåm, a small town in Norway, I experienced the most peaceful autumn and early winter of my life. When I first arrived with Dwayne, the country was bathed in autumn colors—burnt orange, deep crimson, and golden leaves that drifted lazily through the crisp air. There was a stillness here, a kind of quiet that softened the weight pressing on my soul. I had forgotten what it felt like to breathe without pain, to exist without the ache of memories gnawing at my mind. Three months passed. Winter arrived, blanketing the town in a hushed white serenity. The air grew sharper, filled with the scent of frost, and the world around me slowed. The cold should have bitten into my skin, but strangely, I felt nothing—neither the chill nor the warmth of the crackling fireplace inside my little ranch. My heart had been numb for so long, it didn’t know how to thaw. Dwayne wasn’t by my side all the time. In fact, our one-on-one moments were so rare I could count them on one hand
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE Chapter 402
Regaining my composure, I exchanged a concerned glance with Mrs. Meyers before following Maverick. My heart pounded in my chest, a terrible weight pressing down on me with each step toward Arielle’s room. We found him there—his small arms wrapped so tightly around his mother that his little fingers turned white from the force of his grip. He buried his face into her, as if holding her close could somehow fix everything, as if his warmth could pull her back from the abyss she was slipping into. But Arielle didn’t react. She didn’t move, didn’t acknowledge the desperate embrace of the little boy who loved her more than anything in this world. She just sat there. Silent. This was what I had been trying to avoid, I wanted to shield Maverick from this, from watching his mother fade away in front of his eyes. But it seemed I was doing a bad job. I stood there, helpless. I wanted to pull Maverick away, tell him that everything was going to be okay, that I would fix this so

(JARED'S POV)I remained in that position, rocking Arielle gently, until her trembling subsided and she fell asleep in my arms. I gently laid her down on the bed, making sure not to disturb her. As I stepped back, the door went open and Mrs Meyers stepped in.“What happened?” She asked, her eyes bearing concern as they landed on the scattered remains of the herbal tea package on the floor.I hesitated, conflicted about my response. “It's nothing,” I said finally, trying to wave it aside. “It just slipped from my hand.” I didn't want to hurt her but telling her the truth.Her eyes narrowed slightly in disbelief, but she didn't press the issue. Instead, she nodded and said, “Alright, I'll have it cleaned up.”I tried to protest, but she waved me off. “Was there any progress?” Her gaze drifted to Arielle, who was still sleeping peacefully.I shook my head, feeling bad about being the bearer of the bad news. “Not much.”She nodded, but I saw her eyes cloud over with disappointment. I felt

She turned to me, eyes burning with rage and something deeper—something more painful. Something I had never seen before. “I do not need your pity or acts of charity. Do you think I don't know how you see me now? You think I'm a broken and useless woman, don't you?” I was momentarily tongue tied as I gaped at her in shock. “Arielle, I–” “Do you think throwing money at this will fix it?” Her voice cracked, but the fire in it was unrelenting. “Do you think you can just buy back the part of me that’s already dead?”I took a step forward, my hands held out in a placating gesture. “I'll find a solution, I promise I will, Arielle, please...” “You don’t get it.” She took a shaky breath, hands curling into fists. “I don’t care about expensive ingredients. I don’t care about world-class chefs. I don’t care about any of it because none of it matters anymore!”She was screaming now, and it made my chest ache. She never yelled. Not like this. I tried to steady my voice, to hold on to reason, be

(Jared's POV) I stepped out of my car and into the familiar driveway. I paused, looking up at Arielle's house, a sense of trepidation gripping my chest. It was ironic how visiting here used to give me flutters in my chest, but now it gives me dread. Nothing seemed to matter anymore, not my company, not the countless business deals, just Arielle. And whenever I visited, I wished it was under a different circumstance and things were different. As I approached the front door, it swung open, revealing Mrs Meyers. Her eyes, once bright and vibrant, now looked sunken. Poor woman. The weight of her daughter's struggles had taken a toll on her, and my heart went out to her. “Jared,” she called, her voice barely a whisper as she stepped aside to let me in. “Hi, Mrs Meyers. How are you doing?’ I asked, trying to sound cheerful despite how gloomy I was. She waved her hand dismissively, a faint smile on her lips. “I'm fine, Jared. Don't worry about me. She's upstairs,” she said pointing a

He came round the back of the house, his hands in his pockets, while his face was set in a solemn smile. I didn’t need to look up to see the pity in his eyes. I felt like a patient with a terminal disease, one tick of the clock away from my grave.“You’ve been almost non-existent for awhile now,” he began.I remained silent, my eyes still fixed on the empty nothingness before me.“I just thought the longer I waited to tell you this… I’m afraid for you, Arielle. I’m bot saying you won’t survive this. It’s just… You deserve to know the truth at least before…”“Before I die?” I’d asked with a bitter smile. And he went silent for moments afterwards.“I was going to say before anything happens..,” Michael’s voice was cut short by mother’s.“What do you want here? Have you come to do more damage than we already have to live with?” she cried with the righteous fury of a mother hen warding off a predator from her chick.What ensued was a long and heated argument between the two, with one party claimi
MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE Chapter 397
(ARIELLE’S POV)Time rolled by in a blur, with the days turning into weeks and the weeks into a month. I tried to get over the last incident at my doorstep, to cope with the new normal I’d come to accept as my life. I eventually had to give in to Jared and Dwayne’s plea to cooperate some more with the doctors. So my life became ridden with endless trips to the doctors’, tests almost every other day and more medicines to manage the effects of the toxin in my body.The cough disappeared completely and I could manage speaking for longer periods without the fear of sounding like an old frog on her dying bed. But there was nothing that could be done to remedy the numbness of my taste buds and inability to smell.I let out a sigh and tried to blink my thoughts away. But they clung to me like sweat on a hot summer afternoon. My mind traveled back a few days. I’d been shut off from the rest of the world for almost two weeks. Visitors were the least of my priority. I didn’t entertain them. Because
