Sonia

I was still crying when a soft knock echoed through the room.

I quickly wiped my tears, trying to pull myself together.

“Come in,” I said, forcing my voice to sound normal.

The door opened and Daniel stepped inside.

His eyes scanned my face and he quickly moved and sat beside me on the bed

"What's wrong? Are you okay?” he asked, his voice laced with concern.

I almost laughed at the irony.

How could he ask such a question when he is the reason why my life is miserable?

I wanted to scream at him, to tell him how much I hated him but I knew better.

Instead, I forced a small smile and lied and said, “I’m fine. Just tired.”

Suddenly, he reached out and cupped my cheek, rubbing it with his thumb.

"Are you sure? You can tell me anything."

I was tense. His touch made my skin crawl.

I leaned back slightly, hoping he would get the hint, but he didn’t seem to notice.

"Trust me, I am fine." I repeated, shifting slightly to pull away from his touch.

Daniel studied me for a w

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Chasing Back My Ex-wife    chapter 97

    Ethan A sharp knock on my door pulled me out of my sleep. I groaned, rolling over as I tried to ignore it. Who could be disturbing me this early? I barely got any sleep last night as I was thinking about Sonia and Jay and now, when I finally managed to drift off, someone is at my door. I heard another knock, louder this time. I sighed in frustration, rubbing my eyes before getting up. As I opened the door, my eyes widened in shock when I saw Celine holding a tray of food. I frown, “What do you want this early morning?” I asked, looking at her suspiciously. Instead of answering, she brushed past me and walked into the room. I turned, shutting the door behind me and faced her. “Celine, I asked you a question. What are you doing here?” She calmly placed the tray on a small table and pulled out a chair. Then, she turned to me with a soft smile. “Good morning, my love.” I folded my arms across my chest. “Morning,” I muttered. “I made you breakfast,” she said sweetly. “I t

    SoniaI quickly hid Ethan’s card inside my purse and took a deep breath before stepping out. The guards were already looking for me, their eyes scanning the area. As soon as they spotted me, they rushed over. "Are you alright, Ms. Sonia?" One of them asked, concern etched on his face. I forced a small smile. "I'm fine," I lied, even though my heart was still racing. They nodded and guided me back to the shopping mall. The salesgirls continued helping me pick out wedding dresses and accessories. My hands moved slightly, selecting items without thinking. I wasn’t in the mood to shop but Daniel had insisted, saying our wedding is in a week and he wants me to look perfect.Daniel would have come with me but he got a call about an urgent matter at the office. That was the only good thing about today. Once I was done, the guards carried my shopping bags to the car. One of them held the door open for me and I slid inside, gazing blankly out of the window. Tears welled up in my e

    SoniaMy breath caught in my throat as I met Daniel’s furious gaze. His jaw was clenched, his nostrils flaring and his dark eyes burned with suspicion. Did he hear me talking to Ethan? I forced myself to remain calm, tightening my grip on the doorknob to stop my hands from shaking. "Daniel… what’s wrong?" I asked, trying to sound normal. He stepped closer, his eyes scanning my face. "What took you so long to open the door?" His voice was low but sharp, sending a shiver down my spine. I quickly forced a nervous chuckle. "I was freshening up," I lied. "I didn’t expect you to come so soon." Daniel’s gaze flickered toward the bathroom door. His jaw tightened. "I heard voices," he said coldly. "Who were you talking to?" My heart pounded. He did hear something. I shook my head quickly. "Voices? Oh, you must have heard the TV," I said with a forced smile. "The TV was on while I was taking a shower," I said nervously. His eyes darkened as he took another step forward. I resist

    Daniel I halted mid-step, my body tensing as I lifted my gaze to the window of my room. The curtain moved slightly as if someone had been standing there just a while ago. I narrowed my eyes. “Sonia?” I muttered under my breath, still gazing at the window. Is she watching me? I waited, scanning the window for another glimpse but nothing. The curtain was still. "Maybe I am overthinking things," I murmured to myself but still, I couldn't take any chances. I turned to Dragon, my most trusted man and spoke in a low and serious tone. “I want more men watching over Sonia. I want to know about every movement she makes.” Dragon gave a soft nod. “Understood, boss.” “And double the guards at our hideout.” I gestured toward the bush path behind me. “Make sure she never goes near that place. No matter what.” Dragon’s expression remained unreadable, but his voice was firm. “I’ll handle it.” Good. I just brought in a fresh shipment of illegal goods and the profits are going to

    Alex I clenched my jaw, my grip tightening around my phone as I pressed it against my ear. "Still nothing?" I asked, my voice laced with frustration. "No, boss. There is no sign of her," the voice on the other end replied. I slammed the phone onto my desk, breathing heavily. Three days. It has been three fucking days since I last heard from Sonia. The last time I went to her house, she told me she had stepped out. But I knew she was lying because I heard her phone ringing inside when I called but I didn’t push further, thinking she needed space. But now, after three days of not hearing from her, I felt I was going out of my mind. Where the hell is she? Is she safe? The sound of the door opening snapped me out of my thoughts. I raised my gaze and I saw my assistant, step in, his expression tense. "Sir," he greeted with a bow. I barely acknowledged him as my mind was still clouded with the thoughts of Sonia. "Have you seen the news?" he asked hesitantly. I shot h

    Alex"Someone's coming," Kelvin whispered urgently. "Don't call me again. Just text me if you want to speak with me." I nodded, though he couldn't see me. "Got it. Keep an eye on Jay. I'll text you later." The call ended. I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling, my mind spinning. Jay is inside Daniel’s hideout. That bastard is keeping Sonia’s son as leverage, forcing her into a marriage she never wanted. My jaw clenched. I have to get Jay out before Daniel does something to him. I stood up from my chair and walked over to the window. The city lights stretched far and wide, casting a warm glow over the city but all I could think about was the little boy trapped in that monster’s den. "Hmm..." A sharp sigh left my lips as I moved to my desk and poured myself a drink. The liquid burned down my throat but it did nothing to ease the storm raging inside me. This is my chance, my opportunity to prove to Sonia that I love her... That I cared for her and Jay more t

    Alex"We needed to leave now!" I yelled out, holding Jay's hand. Jay’s small hand trembled in mine and I could feel his fear. I glanced around the dimly lit room, searching for another way out. The only exit is the door but going through it meant running straight into Daniel’s men. Just then, my eyes landed on the window. I smirked. "Perfect." Wasting no time, I rushed to it and smashed the glass with my elbow. The shards scattered but I ignored the sting on my skin. I climbed through first, landing on the ground below. "Pass him to me," I whispered to Kelvin. Kelvin lifted Jay and carefully handed him over before jumping down himself. The detective followed right after. We barely had time to catch our breath before we heard voices. "There they are!" I turned just in time to see two guards pointing at us. They raised their guns but the detective was faster. He pulled out his pistol and fired. Both men dropped instantly. "Move!" I ordered. We sprinted toward the back

    AlexI carried Jay to my room and gently placed him on the bed. His small body was still weak but at least he is safe now. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and dialed the number of one of the boutique managers. “I need a full set of clothes for a boy around five to six years old,” I said. “Make sure they’re comfortable. Deliver them to my mansion within twenty minutes.” “Yes, sir,” the manager responded quickly. I ended the call and turned back to Jay. As I reached to pull off his tattered clothes, his eyes fluttered open. He looked around in confusion before his gaze settled on me. “Where am I?” he asked, his voice small but steady. “You’re at my house,” I said gently. His shoulders relaxed and he let out a small sigh of relief. “What about my mom?” “She’s fine,” I reassured him. Jay nodded, then glanced at his dirty clothes. “I can take care of myself,” he said with a small smile. I couldn’t help but smile back. Despite everything he has been through, he is s

    SoniaI was confused when Ethan drove into a massive building I didn’t recognize.This wasn’t a restaurant. I stared out the window, my brows furrowed. What are we doing here? I had never seen this company before... it looked brand new, with bright banners, and fresh paint and decorators were still working inside.But what really caught my attention was how everyone greeted Ethan with familiarity and respect like this wasn’t his first visit here.I wanted to ask a hundred questions but I held them back. I simply got out of the car and followed him quietly, trying to make sense of everything.We went from the first floor to the second… then the third… the fourth… all the way to the fifth. The building was buzzing with activity. New employees, computers being set up, teams in meetings… I could tell this place was growing but still, Ethan said nothing.Finally, we stepped into a private elevator. He pressed the button for the sixth floor and I glanced at him but his face gave nothing aw

    Sonia“So, Mommy… am I going to have a baby sister?” Jay asked with so much excitement in his eyes. His little hands rested on my still-flat stomach like he was already trying to feel his sibling.I smiled and gently placed my hand over his. “Maybe. You will soon have a baby sister or brother.”Jay’s face instantly twisted into a frown when he heard me. “No, not a brother. I want a baby sister,” he said, pouting and crossing his arms like he already made up his mind.I couldn’t help but laugh at his seriousness. “Anyone is good, baby. We will love them just the same.”Jay has been so overjoyed ever since Ethan told him I was pregnant. The way he jumped around the hospital room, asking a thousand questions, almost brought tears to my eyes. He didn’t even wait for confirmation as he had already taken on the role of a big brother with pride.Honestly, I am still trying to believe that I am pregnant myself.It sounded strange in my head. My body still looked the same. No signs, no change

    EthanThe night felt endless as I stayed by Sonia’s side, watching her closely. Every now and then, she would stir, mumbling something I couldn’t understand, then drift back into sleep. Each time she moved, my heart raced. I informed the doctor about it and he explained that it was the medication and that her body was still adjusting, and still healing. But it didn’t make it any easier to watch her like that.I don't know how long I must have fallen asleep beside her. My head was resting on the edge of the bed, my fingers still laced with hers until I heard her voice.The voice was soft and weak but it was her.“Ethan…” She called weakly.My eyes snapped open. I lifted my head, blinking against the harsh hospital lights. “Sonia?” I said, my voice low and hopeful.She turned her head slightly and looked at me. Her eyes were clearer now. Her lips parted again. “Water… I want water.”Relief flooded me like a wave. “You’re awake,” I said, a smile tugging at my lips. I stood quickly and

    Ethan I sat quietly beside Sonia’s hospital bed, my fingers gently wrapped around hers. The beeping of the machines was soft and steady, proof that she was still breathing, still alive. That alone gave me peace.The doctor had asked me to wait outside, saying she needed rest. But I couldn’t. I needed to see her. After all that happened tonight, I had to be close to her even if it was just to sit in silence. I begged the doctor until he gave in, on the condition that I wouldn’t disturb her.Disturb her? How could I ever?I leaned down and kissed the back of her hand softly. She looked so fragile, bandaged and pale, but she was still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and now, she is carrying my child... Our child.God… I still couldn’t believe it. After everything, after all the pain I put her through... Sonia is pregnant.A tear slipped from my eye before I could stop it.She has brought nothing but light into my life, even when I didn’t deserve it. Maybe this baby is a secon

    EthanHis eyes burned with rage and madness as he raised his gun. I lifted mine but he was quick as he kicked my hand so hard the gun flew out of my grip and I crashed to the ground.Pain shot through my wrist but before I could move, he was standing over me, pointing the barrel of his gun right at my head.“This is the end of the road for you, Ethan,” he sneered, his lips curling into a sick smile. “Like I said… tonight, you die.”I could feel the heat of the barrel on my forehead, but I didn’t panic. I waited just for the right moment.“Not so fast,” I muttered.And with all my strength, I slammed my fist into his chest, sending him stumbling backward. The moment he hit the ground, I quickly stood up and delivered a hard punch to his stomach. He groaned in pain, cursing, but I didn’t stop. I hit him again and again, each blow fueled by every ounce of hatred I had buried in me.I rushed over and picked up my gun.This is it. I was going to end it but before I could pull the trigger,

    Ethan“Thank God you are safe,” I whispered, pulling Sonia into my arms like my life depended on it. And maybe it did.Her body trembled slightly against mine. “Ethan… Daniel is the owner of the company. He’s alive,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.“I know,” I murmured, brushing her hair back and kissing her forehead gently. “You are safe now and that is all that matters.”“Boss,” Dave’s voice broke through the moment, low and tense. He had his gun raised with his eyes scanning the darkness. “We need to move. Now.”I grabbed Sonia’s hand tightly and we rushed toward the exit. My only thought was to get her out of there alive.But just as we stepped into the compound, one of my guards stumbled toward me, his uniform torn, blood staining his shirt.“Boss… Phyl has been killed. I barely made it out,” he panted, collapsing to his knees.“What?” I froze. My breath caught in my throat. Phyl… He was the one who exchanged dresses with me and followed the tracker.“How?” I demanded

    EthanMy fingers tremble slightly as I pulled out my phone and called my guards.“Get the car ready,” I ordered, my voice sharper than usual. “And make sure you get your guns with you. We are going out.”“Yes, boss. We would do that right away,” the guard replied before hanging up.I dropped the phone and reached into my drawer, pulling out two pistols. I handed one to Dave, who took it without saying a word, then tucked the other one at the back of my trousers. My mind was racing faster than the beating of my heart.It was getting dark. The sky was already dressed in deep blue shadows and according to Dave, the location was two hours away. That meant we had to move fast.“You ready?” I asked, slipping on my blackface cap.Dave gave a nod, his eyes focused as he checked the gun in his hand. “Ready.”We left my study room and headed to the garage. My men were already there, standing alert. Their faces tightened when they saw me like they could feel the storm inside me.“You four,” I p

    EthanI couldn't sit still. My gut told me something was wrong.Sonia left over six hours ago to meet that so-called business partner and she hasn't returned.I should have stopped her. I should have trusted my instincts and not her words. But the way she looked at me, so sure, so determined... I couldn’t say no and I don't want her to think that I am trying to control her.Now, I am beginning to regret it. Every second she’s not back feels like a knife twisting in my chest.I walked over to the window, staring out as if I would suddenly see her walking up the driveway with that gentle smile on her face but I didn't.I sighed, pulled out my phone and dialed her number again. It rang severally but she wasn't answering.I tried again but still, she wasn't answering.God, She never ignores my calls like this. Especially not when she knows I will be worried."Hmm..." I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady my breathing. Maybe she is still in the meeting. Maybe she lost track of ti

    Sonia I raised my gaze at the door and I saw a young maid step in, holding a tray of food. She gave me a small bow and placed it gently on the stool before sliding it closer to me.“Here is your food, ma’am,” she said softly.I nodded, forcing myself to murmur a quiet “thank you.” But my eyes didn’t miss the phone tucked neatly into her pocket. For a moment, my heart lifted. Should I ask her? Should I beg her to let me make a quick call? But what if she tells Daniel?No. I shook my head. I couldn’t trust her. One wrong move could cost me everything.“If you need anything, you can call me,” she added before quietly stepping out and locking the door behind her.I looked at the food without interest, my stomach twisting with anxiety. But I knew I had to eat something. If I was going to escape, I needed strength.I forced down a few bites even though it tasted like sand in my mouth. Every chew reminded me I wasn’t free, That I was a prisoner again.As I placed the spoon down, my finger
