THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y CHAPTER 25
Chapter 25Lila stared at Aunt Kendy in silence. She wished there's a way age could escape answering that question.“Miss Lila,” Aunt Kendy waved her hand over her face.“Did I say something wrong?”“No. Not at all.” I'm just wishing that I see that good Samaritan that brought me here.” Lila tried to convince her with a lie.She pointed her things to Aunt Kendy, who helped her arrange them in a bag before they left.“Please don't forget, ma'am Lila, you have an appointment with the obstetrician in the next three days. Hope to see you soon.” Nurse Tonia concluded before waving her goodbye.“Obstetrician? Isn't that a doctor that handles pregnancy issues? Does that mean my miss Lila is pregnant?” Kendy thought to herself, but fear won't let her voice her curiosity out.Lila called her cap driver to come pick them up.While they engaged in conversations in the car, Kendy observed that Lila was always finding a means to terminate or change the focus of any discussion that had to do with h

Chapter 26Seeing the fierce look in her eyes as she made such a declaration, Aunt Kendy was moved with pity for her, as she imagined the pains her princess must have passed through for the sake of marriage.“If you have any stuff you'll love to carry along, please do that by tomorrow. Our flight is in the next two days. Try and ensure you don't forget any valuables.” Lila suggested.“Mum, you've been quiet since you got back from the hospital. Is everything okay?” Grey asked his mother.“Besides, you've been looking so pale lately.” He added.Mrs. Shun’s mind and emotions had been shattered since the day Lila overheard her conversation with her stepmother.“Of course, I'm sure she heard us. That girl is a devil! I know she was just lying when she said she didn't hear anything.” She thought to herself.“I'm fine, son. I'm just worried about Cynthia's dad's condition. I really pray he should get well soon, you know. Because Anabella is too close to him, and it would be bad if that litt

Chapter 27Evil Plan“Not at all,” she shrugged.“Like I've always said, I'm forever indebted to your mother for her kind gesture.” She added casually. But there was no hint of indebtedness in her tone. As even the smile she was wearing was evidently a forced one.“It's nothing, ma'am. She has to do that because you've given her the best daughter-in-law any woman could ever ask of.I'll be forever grateful as well,” Grey appreciated with a smile.“I'll be at the reception,” he added when Cynthia and Janell stepped in. He needed to give them some privacy as a family.“Cynthia, can you plead with your husband to give us Lila's address? I don't mind going there by myself to get her to come see your dad; he has been demanding to see her since he woke up." Elena said with much worry in her tone.“Mum, don't tell me that you'd stoop so low to beg that witch just for the sake of dad!” Cynthia scoffed.“Cynthia, you and I know that we have to find something that would make her look bad before

Chapter 28 THE AIRPORT Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome on board. Flight reference MB3R2H.This is Captain James Toner speaking, and I have some information about our flight. Our flight time today will be 10:00am UTC+8, and our estimated time of arrival in the United States is 11:00 pm UTC+8.We ask that you please fasten your seatbelts at this time and secure all baggage underneath your seats or in the overhead compartments.We also ask that your seats and table treys are in the upright position for takeoff.“Hello boss, we're at the airport now, and they just finished making the preflight announcement.” One of the men put Mrs. Elena on call.“Find her! You just have to do everything possible to make sure she doesn't escape! Or you better don't come back alive!” Mrs Elena threatened.Since she left the hospital, she had stayed hidden, sending some thugs to go after Lila, which was her main reason for insisting that Cynthia shouldn't go by herself.The men paraded the ai

Chapter 29 NEW ENVIRONMENT “We can't probably go back to report this kind of news to boss Elena. We need to find a way out!” One of the thugs suggested after they've left without accomplishing their mission.They've been working for Elena for long. They know how cold-hearted she can be when one fails at executing a task she gives.“Then let's fake her death! That's the only way we can ward off her punishment,” the other suggested.Mrs. Elena had returned to the hospital to check on her husband, with hope that her accomplices were doing a great job out there.“Mum, why didn't you come back with Lila? Cynthia demanded, feigning concern.“I ran out of patience in waiting for her,” Mrs. Elena responded coldly.“But, mum, I...”“Enough! Cynthia. Hearing that name over and over again makes me sick!” She yelled with a frown.“I've done my own part; whether she comes or not, right now I don't care if your father just dies!” She declared sternly, her voice devoid of any emotions.“Excuse me,

Chapter 30Lila took a deep breath and squinted. Finally, this day has arrived. A day where she can dress and appear the way she wants. She lifted her eyes and looked at the tall building before her, admiring every feature of it. For the past three years, she had ceased to appear like the way she did today.“I know today will not be the last, but I'll be coming here every day.” She assured herself and navigated her steps to the HR office.“Miss Lila, based on your CV, it shows that you've worked as a journalist for a long time before you stopped. And I seem not to have found any working experience after that. So, why do you suddenly want to go back to the career that you've long abandoned?”The interviewer remarked, exchanging gazes between the woman seated in front of him and the CV he was holding.Lila remained quiet after giving him convincing reasons why she quit her previous job, trying by all means to conceal her crashed marriage as the reason for her resignation.While sitting,

Chapter 31Keeping Secrets Lila was seated in the dining room, enjoying some tea while talking on the phone. Her tone sounds like she’s making a confidential call.She spoke for long, while she kept monitoring to know if anyone was watching her, yet she didn't even notice that Aunt Kendy was stealing glances at her.Aunt Kendy could only guess that she was speaking with a man, but certainly not a friend nor a lover. The tone doesn't sound like one who is in love!To keep the confidentiality of her communication, Lila had put her phone on the lowest volume."Please make it snappy and be extra careful. I'll be at the airport, waiting for you,” she said in a low voice with a serious but calm look.“What is she up to? Oh, I just hope my angel has not gotten herself entangled in any criminal act because of the hardships of this life.” Aunt Kendy couldn't help but feel worried about Lila's nature of call.“Young Miss Lila,”Aunt Kendy interrupted.Lila growled at the moment she heard Aunt

Chapter 32 New Home“Do you think I care if your master is still alive or dead? Well, I'm sure he should be dead by now, but do you know what is unfortunate now is the fact that you are still alive? It would have been more perfect for you and him to join Lila in the eternal journey of no return; at least you can form a big family of four in heaven or hell,” ma'am Elena declared without any hint of concern over her husband's disappearance.“You know what? I only picked up your call because the number appeared without an identity on my phone screen, so be warned and stay clear of my life and my family!”“Do you know my only concern now is his will and nothing else?" She added hoarsely and hung up the call.“Old witch! It would never go well with you!” Aunt Kendy cursed inwardly and dropped the phone.She wished there was something she could do to help in the search for her master.Aunt Kendy sat down worried and devastated, feeling bad at how pitiable her master would look if he's stil

CHAPTER 47Meeting With Brian Silence and confusion were welcomed in the atmosphere for a while. Barrister Joe and Aunt Kendy were totally naive of what was going on, while Brian and Lila, on the other hand, tried to conceal the reality of them knowing each other before now.“Yes, I mean, no,” Like answered counter actively.“His face just looks familiar because I've once seen him on social media before now,” she claimed.“Yeah, she's right. I can remember her following me on all my social media handles and would always give a thumbs up to our quality product advertisements,” Brian concluded and agreed with what she said.“Wow! That's good to hear. It shows that Mrs. Lila has been in love with the company since before she even married my client. With this, I believe you'll manage it well, as my late client has always wished it to be.” Barrister Joe agreed to their explanations and commented.Lila and Damian exchanged side glances and heaved a sigh of relief for successfully convincin

CHAPTER 46His last will“I said it! I knew you were a shameless whore since the day you stepped your feet into this office! I pity you, prospective widow!” Joan sneered and spat as Lila passed through her office to get to her husband's office, Mr Damian.“You know what? At least mine is better. I'm legally married to him. But come to think of it, what do we call ladies like you who shamelessly indulge in illicit affairs with their bosses in the office, knowing fully well that those bosses can never marry them?” Lila stood and looked eyeball to eyeball before uttering those words.“How dare you!” Joan yelled angrily, lifting her hands to rain down a slap on Lila's face, but her hands got stuck up in the air as Lila prevented it from meeting her face.“Try it, and you'll see yourself walking out of this company in the next 10 minutes. Remember, your partner in crime would not be an exception to this,” Lila threatened and dropped her hands violently as she proceeded to her husband's off
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y CHAPTER 45: MARRIAGE PROPOSAL
Chapter 45Lila stared back at him; her heart was troubled; actually, no woman would want to be a widow at a young age, not even her.But considering the fact that God can change situations around, her fears diminished, and by the way, her love for him has outgrown words.“You're not going to make a widow out of any woman, Damian, not even me.”Damian peered at her suspiciously, trying to get a clearer meaning of what she's saying.“Fred not, Damian,” Lila said with a faint smile the moment she noticed the look on his face.“I'm not leaving you! What I mean is—" She paused and took a deep breath before she continued, “I'll love you till the end, and I want you to take away the fear of death, because you are not dying anytime soon,” she encouraged him, moving closer to let their bodies stick and lips meet in sync.“Oh, I'm sorry, I..." The door suddenly opened, and a voice stuttering words of apology echoed.Lila immediately pulled herself from the embrace, and Damian arranged his suit

CHAPTER 44Confessing the feelings Lila was quite puzzled at his words. This was a dream she least expected would ever come true.Indeed, when next they say destiny has a way of bringing people together, she wouldn't spare a moment to believe it wholeheartedly.“But,”“I know the conceptions in your mind,” Damian interrupted before Lila could even spell out what she intends to say.But Lila still looked puzzled. How can he say he knows her mind already when she was thinking beyond the ordinary?Damian locked his palms into hers. “I'll tell you all that you need to know, but just promise me one thing,” he said calmly.Lila's confusion became intense; this discussion is getting more serious than she thought.“Promise that you'll still love me even after telling you everything,” he said, peering at her.“Lila, there's no need for you to deny it. I know already that you love me.”She squinted; her mind throbbed at the severity of his demands. He's right, her love for him was obvious alr

Chapter 43Aunt Kendy felt pretty numb. Everything Lila had said seemed unnervingly ironic.“Kendy, you have to be careful of the kind of advice you offer to a person in this kind of situation. This is a critical moment in her life, and she's dependent on you now to make a good choice,” she scolded herself.Slowly and gradually, she took her hands from Lila's shoulders and moved to lean on the table, ensuring direct eye contact with Lila.“But did you tell him that you're married?” She demanded softly.“No, aunty. I had to feign having a light stomach ache, which was why he rushed me home.”“Hmmmm,” Aunt Kendy sighs.“I'll advise that you tell him the truth when next he confronts you about that again.”“Aunt Kendy! I can't do that!” Lila exclaimed.“Look, you have to do it, my dear. That's the only truth that can give you peace of mind. If he's meant for you, he'll stay, but if he's not, he'll definitely leave. Besides, you're not too sure if he's married or not, or maybe even divorce

Chapter 42Lila's heart throbbed and swelled up as the question rang in her head. Finally, a day she had earnestly prayed for never to come is here.She feigned dumb to his question and sat without saying anything, until Damian got prompted to ask a second time, “Miss Lila, why is your look on the wall so intense? You love the wall paper designs, I guess?" He said softly with a smirk.Immediately, Lila trembled and nodded as if taken unawares, “Yeah, the design. It looks really amazing, you know,” she remarked.Not until he asked the question, Lila didn't even notice the wallpaper design. What was in her mind was a different thing altogether.He stood and slouched to the fridge, which was at the right corner of the dining room, and brought out a bottle of champagne.“Alright,” he said, dropping the two glass cups on the stool while he gradually poured out the drink into them.“From now henceforth, I'm not only your boss at the office, nor are you only my staff, but we're friends! So l

Chapter 41“I'm alive because of you! Thank you, Mr. Saviour!” She exclaimed in whispers.In great exhilaration, Lila left her seat, and with her arms widely opened like a bird flying in the air, she gummed her body on Damian's in tight clasps.“Thank God you're alive! I'm sorry, I couldn't wait to see you recover,” Mr. Damian whispered, with his hands wrapped around her back and her head on his shoulders.The dim and calm blue light makes the environment extremely cozy for lovers.Lila heaved a sigh of relief, his arms offering her a comfort she had never felt in her entire life.Even her wedding night with Grey was not as enticing as this.Her heart melted; a feeling of problem-less life dawned on her.“I'm also alive because of you! Who knows, I might have passed out completely if you were not with me in the office. Thanks to Joan, right? For splashing the coffee on you,” he admitted jokingly.“Com'on, so you're now mocking me, right?” Lila chuckled as she slowly began to lose grip

Chapter 40Meeting Mr. Saviour As they made their way through the estate, their journey came to a halt in front of a 3-story building, which was remarkably outstanding in the estate because of its elegant features.“Welcome to my home, Lila,” Mr. Damian said with a smile.“Wow! This place looks really amazing,” Lila commented as they got into the well-furnished living room.She expected to see a maid or a servant step out to welcome them, but she saw none.Isn't this house too big for one person to live in?Besides, who does the cleaning and cooking for him? She thought inwardly while her gaze shifted from one angle to the other in admiration for the features on the wall.“Feel free and have your seat, Lila. I'll be with you in a short while,” Mr. Damian goes on to say before he leaves for one of the rooms on the ground floor.“Oh my God!” Lila exclaimed when she saw Mr. Damian ambled with a tray to her front.The aura in the room changed immediately by the savory of the dishes.“I k

Chapter 39Caring for her bossLila walked towards the hospital route, pondering Aunt Kendy's words.But there were some elements of truth in what she was saying!If not, why is she so attached and concerned about him more than a normal boss and staff rapport?But even if she later falls in love with him and he feels the same towards her, what would she do with her pregnancy?Of course, no single man would want to marry a divorced and pregnant woman.She felt an utmost discouragement dawning on her for keeping the pregnancy, but a sharp voice scolded her instantly, “Remember, your child is your utmost priority!”“That's true. After all, my purpose of being in this town is to re-establish myself and my career, not to fall in love.” She consoled herself and distracted her thoughts with a different thing.“Daughter of the devil!” Joan glared and hissed at Lila the moment she stepped into the hospital ward.Lila feigned deafness to her statement and proceeded to stand beside Damian's bed.
