MR. BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET; I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 136. Shadows in the night.
Emily's POV Afternoon faded with evening approaching. Darkness lingered with shadows lengthening outside. The stars and moon twinkled in the sky, serving as the only source of light. The city buzzed with activities. Car's headlights flashed on the street, and lights from shops, bars and some buildings illuminated the street. The blaring sound of car horns could be heard as well. I fixed my gaze on my phone as I reclined on the chair. We went to a mall after the event. I had to get some groceries and items for Carl Kate sent me a text message, telling me how cool Joseph was and how he had dropped her at her home like a cool gentleman. Although their relationship was mainly as friends, Kate wouldn't deny that she had developed feelings for him over time..

Logan's POV After parking my car at the parking lot of my parent's mansion, I removed the key from the ignition and alighted the car. I walked into the building without even waiting for Vivian. She called after me, quickening her pace. The maids opened the door when they discovered our presence, welcoming us with warm smiles on their faces I ignore them, making my way to the sitting room.

“Mom, Vivian has no idea how much damage she's done. That investor was one crucial one apart from Emily. There were so many future plans he had with me but because of Vivian, everything was ruined. Not just that, she embarrassed me publicly. I'm sick and tired!” “No, Logan. You won't be sick and tired of her. She's your wife. She's pregnant and she's carrying your child!” My mom countered, her voice carrying through the air Vivian rubbed her belly, trying to put on a distraught expression on her face. I sighed and dropped my shoulders, several emotions settling in “Mom, you don't need to keep reminding me of her pregnancy. Because she's pregnant doesn't mean she can't be corrected. She's at fault here and you know that. Are you just going to keep being on her side when you know that she's the one at fault here..” “But Vivian. Is it true? Did you do something that affected Logan's business?” My mom asked. “No- no, mum. It's just a misunderstanding. Something happened at an

Emily's POV That Monday morning, I woke up early to prepare breakfast for Carl. When he was done eating his cereal, I packed lunch for him in his lunchbox. “Carl. What fruit do you want to eat at school today?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. He smiled and tapped his jaw gently with his fingers as he thought of what to say “I think I'll take apples and strawberries.” He said with a deep smile on his face. “Alright.” I mumbled as I took my gaze to the tray which contained several fruits. I picked two strawberries and an apple and stuffed it in his lunchbox I gave him a kiss on the forehead after giving him his lunchbox. “Thanks, mom!” He exclaimed, giving me a hug.. “Mom, remember you promised to take me to the cinema when I'm back from school…” “Yes, I won't forget..” “Pinky promise that you won't forget, mom.” “I won't” I replied, hugging him and giving him a gentle squeeze.

As I made my way into the design studio, my workers welcomed me with smiles on their faces. My heels clacked on the polished tiles, my aura dripping with confidence as I swept my gazes at each of their faces. “Morning, everyone,”. I said, a warm smile on my lips. I was greeted with the sight of sketches, gemstones and half finished jewelry. This particular section in the imperial company is where we make our designs Jade, my secretary, walked up to me. She handed me a book with contained some recent designs we made I looked up at the rest and asked, “What collection are we making today?” “We are creating the new spring collection.” One of the workers replied.

Emily's POV I took my phone from her at once, and my blood boiled with rage when I saw that menacing look on her face. She crossed her arm, a devilish smile curled at her lips as she assessed me from head to toe “You're indeed beautiful, Emerald.. Quality dress, flawless skin, loaded bank account, soft life, luxury. 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. I have something important to do…” I said and was about to tur

I felt so light; it felt like a weight was seized off my shoulders.. She thought she would make me sad with those revelations, but little did she know that I’m already prepared for what was to come. 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 took my handkerchief and wiped the drop of tears from my cheek. I might have acted strong in front of Cecile, but I wouldn’t deny that I feel broken Kate placed her left hand on mine, while using her right hand to steer the steering wheel “I’m so sorry, Emerald, and I’m also proud of you as well.

Emily's POV “Help us! Somebody help!” I screamed aloud for anyone who cared enough to listen so they would help in saving my husband.I tore a part of my dress and used it on his wound to place pressure on the injured area in order to stop the flow.“Please, help us!” I pleaded, tears in my eyes.“I'll…. I'll…I'll be fine.” Logan struggled to say to me in a stutter.“No, you are not fine.” I cried, trying to help him in any way I could before better help could come.

Everything was gradually getting better and it looked like life was beginning to take a great form after all.Although my son, Carl was currently in the hospital undergoing some medical care and procedure at the moment to help with his transplant, I couldn't help but feel thankful that he has a great chance at surviving the turbulence.“Which one do you think will fit the baby perfectly out of these?” Logan asked me as he picked up a very cute baby outfit. He lifted the clothes in front of me so I could pick from the alternatives he had selected.“This one.” I said, pointing to a white little top that had caught my attention.“I think we can just pick both.” Logan suggested, his eyes access

That will be sorted by you, Black.” “You have to make sure everything turn out well when you guys go to get them.” The deep croaky voice of the mafia's grouphead resounded in the room while he addressed the members of the secret organization.“We have to ensure that nobody comes close to our group. The other rival gangs will get too cocky if they notice us slacking. This isn't time to slow down guys, we have to step up and show that we own this arena–”Collin's dark eyes wandered lazily around the dimly lit room, his mind in a faraway place as he sat on the seat at a corner in the room.The mafia members' discussion about the upcoming ammunition that had been imported secretly into the country and the inherent sneer from jealous rival gangs faded into the background while he thought of his newest worry.He couldn't be bothered about anything more except the news he'd gotten from Vivi

"Can I see you both for a few minutes?" The doctor's words came out firm and serious. Emily and Logan exchange glances before taking a deep breath.Emily and Logan walked out of the ward with the doctor. Emily's chest heaved, her heart pounding harder. Anxiety lingered in the air."Doctor, how's Carl's health?" Logan asked first, while Emily stood there looking at one way."While his immune system is still stable, we have to explore several options for a bone marrow transplant. Since neither of you is a match, having a child together could potentially save his life.” The doctor said, staring at them sympathetically.“I understand this is personal but do know that I'll always be here to support you. If you need anything, please let me know. And if you're willing to consider this option, then we can discuss the details further. I'll be taking my leave now,”.The doctor's words hang heavily in the air even after he left.[ Present day]The hospital room was filled with tension, the only

The news played on repeat, Logan and Emily were seen together again, smiling like the latest couples in town. The sight of them chuckling and spending quality time together burned through him like a fire blaze on top of his head."Unbelievable!" he roared, flipping the coffee table in front of him. "After everything I did, after everything I said, she still went back to him?"Vivian, standing in the corner, let out a quiet chuckle. She had been watching him the entire time, enjoying the spectacle of his rage and unhappiness. Unlike him, she wasn’t blinded by anger, she saw an opportunity to do what has always been within her."Throwing objects won’t change the fact that she's back in Logan's arms," she said, walking slowly to Collins.Collin looked around, eyes flashing with anger. "Shut up, Vivian!"She smirked. "Why should I? I warned you, didn't I? Em

Together, we walked into the apartment to check on Carl. As we got in, the maids greeted us with a welcoming smile.Emily cast a bored glance around. I could tell that she was completely stressed and overwhelmed because of Carl's condition.“What of Carl?” She asked the chubby maid who was standing at the doorway.“He’s awake. He woke up just recently. He's been asking about you and his father.” “Okay. Thanks for informing me,” she mumbled, tearing her gaze from her.We walked past several rooms until we got to Carl’s room.

A wave of relief washed over me but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was definitely wrong.I stared at my phone as I dialed Emily's number but she wasn't picking.“Emily, please pick up. Pick up..” I whispered, shoving my fingers into my hair with a line of worry on my forehead.I tried to reach her once again but It didn't go through. I sighed in exhaustion as I reclined on my chair.“Whatever it is, I hope it's not bad.” I mumbled, dragging my lower lip with my teeth.The air hostess gave an announcement and meals were served afterwards. I didn't touch my meal; my appetite was gone. All I needed at the moment was to be with Emily and Carl. I shut my eyes, inwardly hoping everything is fine.

Emily's POV The doctor's words resounded in my ears and I just couldn't believe it. I froze for a moment. it felt as if time had come to a standstill. “Can you tell me more about this SCID?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. The doctor's voice was gentle as he added, “It's a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system.” I listened intently, my brows knitting. He cleared his throat and continued, “It is caused by mutations in genes which play crucial roles in development and functions of the immune system.” My eyes narrowed as I struggled to process his words “So, are you trying to say that we passed it down to him?” His lips conformed into a thin line. He nodded and also added, “While it can be inherited from parents who are carriers of mutated genes, it can also be caused by spontaneous mutations during fetal development. The latter I believe is what caused It.” A deep sigh escaped my lips. I paused for a moment, trying to pull myself together. "What
