MR. BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET; I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 105. I'm carrying your child, Logan.
Author’s POV Vivian walked slowly into the room with wide eyes as she took in the scene before her.. Her fists clenched, her brows furrowing as she gazed at Logan’s laptop, which was on the bed. The white screen was clearly visible with the bold inscription of the word, “Custody Battle Strategy,” written on it. Her heart became heavy as she read every single line, a reminder of Logan’s plans to fight for Carl’s custody.She rolled her eyes and sighed. “Logan is still not giving up on this, is he?”Her lips twitched as she sneered. She scanned the entire room and creased her brows when she noticed Logan wasn’t in the room.“Where is he? I thought he walked in not long ago.. Did he leave the room for somewhere else?” She mumbled, several thoughts swirling in the mind.Just as she was about to leave the room, she heard the sound of a shower running from the bathroom. Since he was in the bathroom, she stole that moment to peer at the content in the laptop. Heading towards the bed, she sa

Emily's POV I worked on my buttons, as I swept an appreciative gaze at my body. Raising my head, I looked into the mirror, and a smile tugged at my lips as a beautiful elegant lady stared back at me.Sighing, I shoved my fingers into my hair as thoughts about Vivian crossed my mind. I could recall the last time I saw her and Mrs. Michelson at the mall the day before yesterday.“Pregnant…” I mumbled, a sly smile curled at my lips. Not that I found it funny but it's so ridiculous that she's expecting a child for him and yet, he's so keen on getting custody over Carl. Can't he just let me have him? He was never in his life all these years… Why is he so interested all of a sudden?What if we hadn't crossed paths, would he have known I had a son for him?The creaking sound of the door cut through my thoughts. Carl stepped in, looking cute and smart in his uniform.“Good morning, mom!” He greeted, wrapping his arms around me..I knelt to his level and showered his head with sweet kisses.

Emily's POV Across the country, the streets of New York are alive with the hum of activity. The city is bustling, but in the quiet corner of her rented apartment overlooking a small cobblestone street, Kate sat alone. I sighed as I paced frantically in her room, slipping my fingers into my thick brunette hair. The soft afternoon light filters through the lace curtains, bathing the room in a golden glow. I nibbled my lower lips, my pacing frantic with a heavy silence lingering in the air. Kate appeared forlorn as she stared into the distance.. She was lost in thoughts, the weight of the situation heavy on her shoulders. When her phone buzzed, we shifted our gaze to it. Before she could reach for her phone, I grasped it and clutched it tightly, a stern look on my face. “I have to pick the call, Emerald. I - I ..” “No, Kate..” I cut in, my voice overshadowing hers Swallowing the lump in my throat, I added, “You won't pick his calls any longer.. I don't care if he gets mad

Emily's POV The knock on the door continued, my heart racing with anticipation as I neared it. Kate swallowed hard and wanted to skirt past me but I held her hand, and stopped her. “Who do you think it might be?” I asked Kate who shrugged, having no clue who it might be. She skirted past me, wanting to approach the door but I stopped her by holding her wrist. “Let me see who it is. Just stay here…” I whispered, while she nodded in acceptance. I tore my gaze from her and approached the door. Taking a deep breath, and called out in a calm voice, “Who is it?” “It's me.. Jeremy,” The voice came through, and I exchanged a glance with Kate whose eyes went wide a little. Her brows creased as her face turned a deep shade of red. “Don't let him in..” She said while I nodded. “I’m sorry Jeremy. Kate doesn't want to speak to you..” “Oh I think she does..” He scoffed. “We have something important to discuss..” “Well I don't want to argue with a cheat like you. Get the fuck o

Emily’s POV~ I took in a deep breath, my eyes fixed on the phone, which was still buzzing in my grip. Gently, I swiped the Accept button and brought the phone to my ear. With a smile tugged at my lips, I replied in a calm voice, “Hello, Collin.” “Hi sweetheart, how is your day going, sweetheart?” Collin asked, his voice filled with affection. “Fine. Everything is fine,” I replied, itching my nape as I hinted at thoughts on why he had called. Not that I always expect reasons for his calls, but I had this feeling that he called me to discuss something important with me. I mean,there are times he’d call just to check up on me or ask about my day with nothing else to say, but I had this lingering feeling that there was something important he wanted to discuss with me. “You’re still at work, right?” He asked curiously. My brows shot up as I shifted my gaze to Kate. I nibbled my lower lips, wondering why he’d asked. Or perhaps he was already at my workplace and had been sear

Emily’s POV ~>I kept a forced smile on my face as I made my way into the dimly lit bar, which was filled with a lot of people. Murmurs and laughter echoed in the background, coupled with the soft music emanating from speakers. I saw a couple at a far end, chatting and whispering as they swilled several shots of their drinks.I tried to blend in as I ordered a drink. “What do you need, ma’am?” The server asked as he approached her with a smile on his face. I inspected him. He was in a white button-down shirt with the establishment logo embroidered on the sleeve. He paired it with trusty black pants and polished shoes.“Nothing much, just a cappuccino.” I replied, while the man’s gaze was fixed on the ring on my finger. He raised his head to stare at me, a warm, inviting smile on his face.“Coming right up,” He answered, and left.He returned after some minutes, dropping the cappuccino carefully on my table with ease. I smiled as I took the cup off the saucer, my grip on the handle wi

Emily's POV.“What are you, Lorenzo?” I asked, my heart racing as I stared at those mysterious eyes of his. His lips pulled in a smirk, dimples on either side of his cheeks. “You'll get to know me soon, Emily..” He spoke calmly, his words weighing heavily on my shoulders. What made me even more shocked was that he didn't address me as Emerald but rather, as Emily.How on earth did he know that I was Emily? “Everything you said about Collin…” I said, and swallowed the lump in my throat with my curios eyes hovering over his features.“What do you mean by him being a threat to me?” I asked, my voice trembling even as I tried to remain calm I just wanted to know the truth. I just want to know what he's been hiding from me.. perhaps there was something about Collin that I have no clue about .“Why do you say my engagement with him might complicate matters? What exactly do you mean?” I asked, gripping my bag tightly.Lorenzo smiled and dipped his hand in his pocket, his strong cologne w

Emily's POV. My lips twitched, my face twisted with questions as I stared at Collin. He gazed at me quizzically, his eyes glinting with curiosity at what I had said. I flipped my hair to the side of my neck, still trying to believe that maybe, just maybe everything Lorenzo said about him wasn't true. “Did Lorenzo say that to you, Emerald?” Collin asked, his lips quivering. I nodded, confirming his thoughts with a stern look on my face. He swallowed the lump in his throat, a heavy sigh escaping his lips as he shoved his fingers into his hair. “You have to tell me what Lorenzo meant by my relationship with you complicating things? You have to tell me why I'm not safe being with you? I'm sure you've been hiding things from me, Collin.” I snapped, my eyes welled with unshed tears. Collin shook his head and approached me, his face masked with guilt. He wanted to place his hands on my shoulder but I retraced my steps, preventing that from happening “Lorenzo said I'm t

I already knew what she was going to say, and it wasn’t a surprise to me. She expected the news to devastate me.“You’re so strong, Emerald. I’m glad you didn’t tear up in her presence or gave her the satisfaction of seeing you cry,” Kate spoke, her voice filled with warmth.We’re currently on our way back home. Kate was the one driving.

I mean, I can keep counting every blessing you have without stopping, Emerald.” Cecile began, a dark Chuckle erupting from her throat.I stared at her with clenched fist, knowing full well what she was up to.. She's aware of my dwindling relationship with Colin and is obviously here to make fun of me. I tried to keep myself calm, not wanting to exchange words with her because I know she's not worthy of it..“You have everything, Emerald but there is one thing you're never going to have or experience…” She said, stepping closer towards me with her smile deepening “I don't have your time, Cecile.
