MR. BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET; I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 118. Who is Logan to you?
Emily’s POV Seeing Logan with Carl raised a hundred of questions. I’d been brooding about Collin and the mysterious caller the entire time, but the sight of Logan with my son shoved those thoughts away. My interest piqued, curious to know what they’d been discussing.“Mom!”’ Carl exclaimed the moment he locked eyes with me. A warm smile tugged at his lips as he scurried towards me. He enveloped me in a hug, while I ran my fingers through his spiky brown hair.I got on one knee, reaching his level. After pestering him with multiple kisses, I cupped his cheeks and asked, “How was your day?”“It was fine, mom.” He replied, smiling from ear to ear.I raised my head slightly and my gaze settled on Logan, who was now on his feet, a few feet from where I stood.He gulped down nothing as my penetrating, curious eyes searched his features.He stiffened, his throat working as if to speak, but nothing came out.I turned my gaze to Brenda, Collin’s nanny, and asked, “What are you guys doing outs

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA…Emily’s Point Of View ~~As I walked out of the hospital, a smile appeared on my lips. It seemed unreal. I could still hear the doctor’s words echoing in my thoughts, which proved that I was indeed pregnant. I looked at the report one more time, my mouth tightening to contain the screams of excitement that were rising within me. For the last four years, my marriage with Logan has been devoid of any affection. Perhaps this news would bring our marriage back to love. Logan may finally relate to me differently now that I’m pregnant.“Logan! With excitement, I chirped as I walked towards him in the sitting room, a bright smile spreading across my lips. He was quite early; I had not anticipated seeing him at home at this hour.My heart thrummed with an erratic rhythm and my steps came to a halt when I saw the unimpressed and stony look on his face. I knew something was wrong. His anger had to have sprung from work-related stress.Pulling a smile back on my face, I

SLUMBERLAND, IDAHO. 5:00pmLogan's Point Of View ~~Opulent chandeliers illuminated the grand dining room of the Michaelson's mansion. The entire family sat around the large table, which stretched for miles. Silence filled the air and the only sound that could be heard was the spoons clacking against their shiny porcelain surfaces. There were palatable cuisines topped on the table with fruits and expensive French wines.“So, Vivian, how was your stay in Australia? I heard you plan on establishing your fashion house here in the United States,” my mom inquired, breaking the solitude with her gaze settling on Vivian. Vivian beamed, feeling delightful. With a nod, she replied, “Yes, Mrs. Judith, I did have a lot of projects back in Australia, but I left it because of Logan..” Vivian held my hands which were on the table and I gulped down the lump in my throat. A tiny smile sprang on my face, but it vanished in an instant when my father's gaze met mine. Seeing Vivian here didn’t please

Five years later ~~ NEW YORK CITY 10:12am.Emily’s Point Of View ~The Gills family has lived on the Gills Estate in New York for many years. The park remained accessible for opulent and powerful people like us. Our penthouse was one of the largest in the city; A famous iconic structure that seemed incredibly worthy of being possessed by one of the richest people in the city.With a delicate ruby lip, I smiled as I got out of my car and made my way towards the luxurious building. I haven’t spent time with my foster family in such a long time. Anticipation washed over me as I pictured how they’d react once he saw me.The double giant doors split and two maids in uniforms flashed me warm, welcoming smiles.They were thrilled to see me again, and I could see the enthusiasm on their faces. I removed my shades and my heels clacked on the tiles as I made my way into the large sitting room.“Welcome back, Emerald!” With great excitement, my sister Ursula put her arms around me and gave me a

NEW YORK CITY–. MARINO EMPIRE.Logan’s Point Of View ~The grand elite auction would commence anytime from now. Alighting from my car, I glanced at my wristwatch to check the time. I will finally have the chance to meet the new CEO of the Imperial Company at this gathering today. I’ve approached them about partnering, but they haven’t accepted my offer. Given the excellent standing of my company and my stellar reputation, I anticipate that they will accept my offer right away. A forced grin tugged at my lips as I cast a glance at the gigantic Marino Empire which towered over the other buildings beside it. Parts of the building had gold plaster applied to them, and the walls were composed of sturdy glass. The courtyard was lined with posh, expensive cars, and there were uniformed guards stationed at strategic locations like statues. The entire place screamed wealth as only highly reputable people visited it..“Logan, you must get me that Hope diamond at the auction today. I’ve been c

Logan's Point Of View~As I stood there with my heart sinking, I felt an overwhelming heaviness in my legs, as if they were transforming into solid stone. The air inside was a stark contrast to the warmth of the sun outside. My eyes scanned the space, taking in the intricate details of the decor that adorned the walls, yet, amidst the grandeur, I couldn't stop thinking about Emily and Collins.Watching Emily giggle as Collins whispered some words in her ears made my heart shatter and it felt as though the air plug to my lungs had been cut off. Collins was impeccably dressed in an elegant work suit. The sight of him in his professional attire added a touch of mystery and intrigue. In that fleeting moment, my body was rendered immobile, as If time itself had come to a stand still.“This is interesting! Emily turns out to be the CEO of the great imperial company, not just that, she's in a relationship with Collins, your business rival!! It still seems delusional even though it appears

Emily's POV“Okay honey. Take care,” Collin said, lowering his head to pester kisses on my forehead. I glimpsed Logan staring at us with a hint of jealousy in his eyes. My gaze traveled to Vivian's hands, which were entwined in Logan's arms, and a sly smile curled at my lips.What a douchebag couple!Collin tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, his eyes hovering over my features.With a smile, he asked, “What of Carl? Haven't set my eyes on him today.” “He's at the babysitter's. I'll be picking him up as soon as I'm back.” I answered, and he nodded before releasing my hands to let me go.I shifted my gaze to Logan, whose eyes never left mine for a moment. Clutching my bag, I spun around and gave him a smile before leaving. My heels clacked on the tiles as I strolled outside and I could feel his burning gaze on my back.I nibbled my lower lips and checked the time when I sighted my limousine, which was parked at a far end beside the street. Taking a step further, I found myself b

Logan's POV"Sir. Can you tell us about your time at the Marino Empire in New York?" The voice came from the man next to me. He held a microphone in his hand and tried to bring it closer to me. He strained to keep up with his speed because I was walking faster than him. My bodyguards trailed behind me as I stepped into my firm with a stern expression. Camera flashes shined on my face from all angles, and the reporters' inquiries seemed like babbles in my ear, making me even angrier."Sir. Could you tell us about your experiences? Did you get to see the famous CEO of the imperials?" One of the reporters questioned as he brought the microphone in front of me."What was your experience with them? Was your proposal to collaborate with her later approved? He asked, and I glared at him, compelling him to remain silent. I turned to face the cameras with a serious expression, and the entire reporters flinched.I slipped my hands into my pocket and added sharply, "I won't be answering any qu

Logan's POV The news about Vivian's pregnancy has left me shattered. Several thoughts filled my heavy heart, mixed feelings overwhelming me. I don't know if I should be happy, shocked, sad or suspicious. I've never touched her for months. How could she possibly claim to be pregnant?My lips twitched into a sneer as I grasped the steering wheel.“Pregnant?” I whispered, still doubting the whole thing. I am certain that I've never touched her, so how could she claim to be pregnant?Why does the news about her pregnancy have to surface when I'm currently in the midst of a custody battle for Carl? It is clear that Vivian is against it and it's strange that she revealed the news of her pregnancy at this time?My phone buzzed, cutting through the thick silence. It was a call from my friend, Martin.I picked the call after reaching for the phone.“Hi, Martin. How is everything?” I asked, reclining on the chair with my gaze fixed on the rear view mirror. I had gotten into my car after the s

Collin's face was a mask of remorse. I didn't expect things to go this way but I just can't take it anymore. My eyes flashed with anger and hurt, an aching finality that makes him falter."How can I trust you, Collin?" I asked, shaking my head with my voice laced with venom. "You've been lying to me, hiding the truth about your job and the dangers that come with it. What else have you kept from me? Tell me.. What else have you hidden from me?”Collin took a step forward, extending his hand in a placating gesture but I retraced my steps from him, my eyes filled with curiosity and doubts. "Emily,” He called, his voice nearly a whisper.“Please listen—" He added."No, you listen!" I interrupted, my voice going an octave higher.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I continued, "I should have known it would happen .”I stared into the distance. Collin took a step forward, his expression pleading.He was about to say something when I cut in, “I guess I've been blind to the signs. I've alwa

Emily's POV “What did you just say?” Collin asked, wiping his face with the handkerchief in his hand. He takes his fingers through his hair, his face etched with worry. He has no clue that I'm behind him because he was so engrossed in the call he was receiving from the caller and I wasn't going to interrupt him, not even for a second.As Collin answered his phone, his hands trembled and his voice shook, giving off an air of fear and concern. "I'm warning you. Do not get my fiancé involved in this. I won't take it lightly with you if anything happens to her. And if I find out you're the cause of her accident then I'm sorry but you'll be gone anytime soon," Collin growled, anger flaring in his voice. I stifled a gasp, my breath caught in his hanging words which sank heavily on my shoulders.The voice on the phone threatened and it tinged with anger, getting Collin more infuriated.My heart crumbles like a wrinkled paper, each breath feels like a dagger poking my chest.

Emily's POV My breath hitched as the call bursted into a menacing laughter, his voice like an irritation to my ear. My grip on the sheet tightens, a frown on my face as I heard him say, “Collins and I are great rivals so it's best you stay away from him because I'd definitely use you to threaten him whenever I wish.”His words resounded in my ears, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. “Who are you? Why can't you reveal your name?” I asked, fear laced in my voice.My breath came out in rapid bursts, an unsettling feeling lingered in the air when I felt a dead silence at his end.“He- hello…” I stuttered, my face etched with worry. I got down from the bed and stared at my screen, trying to see if I could see the number but it was nothing but words written in the form of “private number,”. On it..“Who are you and what do you mean by the threats you just gave just now?” I asked curiously, slipping my fingers into my brunette hair.I didn't hear a response. My suspicion amplified with

Emily’s POV My eyes flicked open, and the first thing I saw was the white ceiling. I felt a slight pain in my head, although it’s nothing compared to how it was a while ago. The beeping sound of the machine cut through the thick silence, accompanied by the heavy scent of antiseptic lingering in the air.I sat on the bed, groggily taking in my surroundings. I inspected myself in the mirror, bringing my hand to my cheeks. There was a white bandage on my head and the sterile white walls stared back at me.Then I heard footsteps and the feminine voice of the figure approaching. “Miss. Emerald, can you hear me?”“Yes. Yes, I can,” I replied, wincing in pain. She flashed me a warm, inviting smile, her eyes holding me in their grasp.“Do you remember anything?” She asked, stepping towards me, her sharp eyes hovering over my features.I tried to remember but everything was all hazy.. The last thing I remembered was getting into an argument with Collin and stepping out of his home.The nurse

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

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
MR. BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET; I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 110. What are you, Lorenzo?
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
