Logan’s POV ~

“Who do you say is our new investor?” I asked, softly tapping my fingers on the desk with. I rotated in my chair to face Derek, who stood before me with a file in his hand.

“Tell me more about this investor? What company does she work in? It’s the first time we’d be having a female investor in our company, Derek. How did you get to meet her?” I asked once again, my voice sharp as it cut through the heavy silence that now filled the space between us.

Just as he was about to speak, a knock came on the door, grabbing our attention.

“Who is it?” I asked with pinched brows, a stoic expression on my face.

“It’s me, Paul.” The voice answered, and I said, “Come in.”

He opened the door gently and strolled in my direction.

With his head slightly lowered, he said, “Your dad is here, sir.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat as his words sank in my ears. Sitting upright, I asked, “Where is he? Is he downstairs? At the lobby? Or in the elevator?”

“He’s still downstairs, Sir.. he’ll be

I nodded as I shifted my gaze at my driver, indicating for him to wait till I’m done.My stomach bubbled with excitement as I anticipated the look on his face when he’ll eventually discover that I was the one who had invested in his business.I smoothened my hand down the skirt of my purple minidress and combed my hair with my fingers. Just before I could take a step forward, I heard a familiar voice which got my attention.That voice…I know whose it is.My gaze shifted toward the voice and just as I knew it, I saw the person.He was dressed in an impeccably pristine work suit and every word he said echoed in my ears, stirring up memories of the past.It’s been a long since I saw him. He looked much older now, with little traces of white hairs and a beard.He looked som

    Emily's POV***As we traveled through the numerous routes of the Amazing theme park, our gaze swept over every feature. There were many glittering lights in a variety of gorgeous colors. There are so many entertaining rides, games, and activities to participate in. It was truly a universe of its own. I couldn't help but smile as I saw several clowns set off fireworks.A set of people in ridiculously nice costumes stood at a corner, waving hands at passersby.“Mom!” Carl called softly as he clutched the tip of my blouse with his hands.A warm smile spread across my face as I lowered my head to make eye contact with him and listened intently to what she had to say. "Mom. I'd like that ice cream. Can we have some, please?" He inquired, and I followed his attention to a lanky man with my artificial bunny ears fastened to his head. He was at an ice cream vendor with a variety of colored cups on display. Carl couldn't stop laughing at the sight of his enormous rabbit ears. Smiles sprea

  • MR. BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET; I WANT YOU BACK   Chapter 54. Can't get you off my mind, Emily.

    Logan's POV I paced around in my suit restlessly, several thoughts spinning in my mind. Ruffling my hair, I folded my arms as I walked from one edge of the room to another.It had been a week since I set my eyes on Emily. Last time I set my eyes on her was in California. I went there to visit a friend of mine and just while I was waiting for a taxi, I saw her entering her car and I noticed my son was with her as well.It was then I realized it was children's day. They must have gone to Disneyland to celebrate it.I called after her and trotted towards her, wanting to speak to her but she drove off and ignored me completely.I felt shattered and broken and I badly wished I had my car with me then. I'd have driven after her… If only a taxi had arrived on time, I'd have instructed the driver to follow her….Clenching my fist, I banged it angrily on the wall, frustration bubbling within me.“Emily!” I whispered, my eyes darkening with rage as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.“So

  • MR. BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET; I WANT YOU BACK   Chapter 55. Family dinner

    Logan's POV Lights glistened from the classy dangling chandelier. The huge table stretched for miles and was filled with exquisite palatable cuisines. Maids in uniform loomed around as they served every member of the Michealson family at the dining room. Vivian was in a pink classy sheath dress, looking sumptuous with her hair cascading beneath her nape. She had excess makeup on her face with dangling earrings attached to her ears. Yet, even with everything, I wasn’t captivated. After greeting me, she gazed at my mom and waved at her, flashing her warm smile.. I rolled my eyes as I grabbed my fork and began eating slowly. My brother's eyes locked with mine and a smile tugged at his lips. He must have sensed that Vivian and I are beefing at the moment. His heavily pregnant wife, Thelma, was beside him, and I exchanged pleasantries with her when I locked eyes with her. I stared at my father who visibly relaxed and exhaled loudly as he sat back in his chair. "Good to witnes

    “You won't stop me from speaking my mind, Logan!” She retorted, scrunching her face.“That's enough! That's enough! This should be discussed later. Let's not invite chaos in this peaceful ambience.” My dad said as he sat upright on his chair.Grabbing the goblet in front of him, he downed its contents and dropped it back on the table.He flicked his gaze between me and Vivian and then, he settled it on me.“Last time I came to your company…” He began, his deep voice piercing the silence.“I saw a lady in white coat and purple dress. She - she looks just like Emily. I'm sure it's Emily,” My dad said and Vivian's eyes bulged, glinting with surprise.She gave me a sharp suspicious look, her brows knitted with her jaw clenched.“Emily in your company? Logan?” She asked.I ignored her as I fixed my gaze on my father.“We discussed the company and investors before you left, dad. She's - she's one of our investors now.. not one of the first since we've had several investors before, but she

    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.

    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

  • MR. BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET; I WANT YOU BACK   Chapter 113. A mysterious caller.

    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 to stay away from yo

    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 ~>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~ 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 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
