MR. BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET; I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 19. What a jerk!
Emily's POVMy face glowed as different beams of light flashed in my direction. I stood under the spotlight with all eyes on me. My rapid heartbeat slowed, and I took a deep breath before gripping the microphone.A smile formed on my lips as I exuded camaraderie, feeling honored to be a special guest at today's gathering. Waving my hand slightly in the air, I glanced sideways with my gaze sweeping at the multiple faces of people seated in the spacious hall. “First of all, I'm honored to be invited to this wonderful event.” I began, my voice cutting through the heavy silence that had now enveloped the entire hall.People listened keenly to what I had to say.. I felt a little nervous but when I caught a glimpse of Collin who was in the second row, a wave of confidence surged within me. The splash of happiness in his eyes brightened my mood, giving me the courage I desperately needed.Collin has been my unwavering support over the years and I'm glad I met him.“Thank you Jonathan Forbe

Emily's POVThe air felt thick and stifling, and my heart hammered furiously as I glared at him. If looks could kill, he would have been six feet tall by now. But you know what hurts the most — It’s the fact Logan is less concerned whenever I’m upset. My emotions are oblivious to him and he cares less to know when I’m upset or angry.He dragged me closer to him, drawing attention from every other person. Every stare, every single eye, murmurs and chuckles made frustration bubble inside me, but I tried to mask those anger with a forced, phony smile on my face.Taking my gaze to Logan, my face heated up, and I scowled at him with clenched fists.“What the hell do you want from me? I’ve told you never to touch me! The last time I warned you, I’ve promised myself to raise my hand on your cheek and trust me, I can f**g do just that!”“Oh, really?” Logan questioned, taking a step closer to me. Yanking my hands off his grip, I glared at him with a smug smile tugged at my lips.Through gritt

Emily's POV I stood still, watching the altercation that was about to unfold between Collin and Logan. The room grew silent, the tension palpable with my heartbeat echoing in my ears. My heart skipped a beat as Collin appeared in front of Logan, his face etched with disgust and rage. Knowing they were nothing but rivals, their presence garnered a lot of attention and I could hear whispers from other celebrities who were in the room with us. "I heard Emerald was previously married to logan. She has moved on since their divorce, but Logan appears to have not. I believe he still has his eyes on her." Taylor, a famous upcoming singer in a black sheath gown and cashmere said, her face filled with a heavy makeup. I felt my heart crumble like a wrinkled paper, each breath felt like a dagger poking my chest as I listened to their gossip. “It’s Logan's loss by the way. Emerald is now involved in a relationship with Collins. I'm sure she can never go back to Logan..” Cecile, a famous

Emily’s POV.The news about me and Collin emerging as the winner of the celebrity face event spread like wildfire. It was all over the news and everyone was talking about it. I received a lot of congratulatory messages from friends, fans, well-wishers and even strangers. But one very text left me brooding and worried. It was a text I received from someone anonymous. It says, “I will make sure I come between you and Collin. Don’t stay too happy because he’s not yours alone.”Since I got the message, it still haunted me. Not being able to trace who it was made me even more worried than ever.As days trickled by, I tried to push the unease aside, but it clung to me like shadows I couldn’t shake off. “Who could it be? Who could have sent such a message? Could it be Vivian? Or Cecile?” I asked, a faint sheen of sweat forming on my forehead as I sat up on my bed that early morning.The annoying sound of the alarm pierced the silence, snatching me from my thought zone. Striking it with my

Emily’s POV“You can always tell me what it is that is bothering you.” She began, her voice low and trembling as though the weight of the words I’m about to speak could shatter the fragile calm of the room. Her eyes roamed my features as she eagerly awaited what I had to say. The room grew silent for a few minutes. The only sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall.Scrambling for my phone, I turned it on and scrolled through the past messages I received. She stared at me all through, and I’m certain that a lot of questions must be swirling in her mind.My heart feels like it’s being squeezed and I tried to push down the nervousness that kept gnawing at my chest.“Here it is…” I said, showing her the phone. She took it from my hands, her gaze fixed on the screen as she read the messages.Her eyes sprang wide as she raised her head to face me.“What the f**k! Who is that nuisance?” She asked with raised brows.I shrugged and replied, “I have no clue, Kate. The message alone is dis

Emily's POVNo longer had Kate finished with my makeup than Collin arrived. He came in his white Camry car, looking all dashing in his sophisticated, tailored suit and shades.He had a perm and neatly trimmed his hair. And the smile he had on his face made him even more handsome. I wore a beautiful silky gown with embroideries on the bust area, and my hair hung freely by the right side of my neck with a fringe just above my eyes.Kate’s slight smokey eye makeup made my dark eyes pop, and she attached beautiful dangling earrings to my earlobes.“Have fun, Emerald. Remember what I told you,” Kate whispered in my ears and I nodded curtly, keeping my smile from faltering.Clutching my purse tightly, I breathed deeply, but before I could take a step towards Collin, Carl showed up, his gaze flicking at everyone’s faces.“Mom! Are you going now?” He asked curiously, his eyes radiating with concern.I knelt down to his level and stroked his hair lovingly, my lips curved upward.“Yes, son. I’l

Emily's POV “Why, Emerald? Is there anything bothering you?” Collin asked, his eyes flashing with curiosity. I sighed faintly, sat upright and placed my hands on his, hoping my response would satisfy his curiosity and not make him think I'm no longer interested in him.“I don't want to get married now because I'm not fully prepared. I'm happy to have found this loving and amazing lover, but I just need more time before finally settling down with you.” .I explained, staring at his curious face which was as calm as the surface of a lake.He stroked my hair, his eyes hovering over my features with great concern.I waited, held my breath as I waited for his response.To my surprise, he leaned towards me and planted a kiss on my forehead.“I totally understand.. I will consider your opinion. I won't influence your decision and I won't hurry you into getting married to me.” Collins eventually spoke, his voice full of conviction.“Thank you,” I responded, a profound sense of relief washi

I couldn’t sleep all night because I knew she must be having the time of her life with Collin at the moment.

It’s more like a special trip and a vacation to them, yet I imagine them taking it as though it’s their honeymoon.I couldn’t help but think about the quality moments they’ll spend together.. Will they stroll at certain parks? hike on mountains? Dine at classy restaurants? Have a slow romantic on a dancefloor? Or....I tried to shake those thoughts off my head.
