THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y CHAPTER 31
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 33First day at work The echoing of those unbelievable words still left Aunt Kendy in shock.“W–what do you mean by what you just said, young miss?” Her face was expressionless as she asked.“I just said it now, that you're not seeing a ghost, Aunt Kendy; that's my father you're seeing in there. I know you might be surprised, but he just arrived today. Remember when I left for the supermarket earlier? I just went to pick him up at the airport and bring him down here,” Lila explained.“So you mean you're responsible for his disappearance all this while? You mean you were the ones that kidnapped him?”Aunt Kendy interrogated with a fixed gaze at Lila. Lila said nothing; she only nodded in response.In an instant, tears of joy welled up in Aunty Kendy's eyes as they began to flow uncontrollably while she embraced Lila in a warm hug.“I'm so proud of you! I knew that you don't have a wicked heart to keep grudges against your father,” she whispered into Lila's ears.“But, how wer

Chapter 34 COINCIDENCE As Lila hurtled towards the pavements to the ground floor, she stumbled upon Mr Damian Marley and a lady ascending the stairs. Lila greeted and halted her steps when she noticed that Mr. Damian wanted to talk further.“Oh, sorry, Lila. I never introduced my secretary to you. Meet Joan Morris, my secretary,” he said, gazing at the lady beside him with a smile.“Joan, meet Lila Sims, the new assistant to Mr Anthonio. She's now officially our assistant head of operations,” he explained.Lila tried to feign a smile but the other lady was resolute in her frown, ignoring Lila's hands as she stretched them for a handshake.“If only you knew that I'm doing this because of Mr Damian,” Lila mumbled inwardly but maintained a neutral expression.Mr Damian was bewildered by the actions they were putting up. He exchanged gazes at Lila and his secretary, the awkward expression on their faces could tell that something was wrong, but he couldn't place his hands on it. What was

Chapter 35“No way! I can never let them go free with these disastrous plans. For this, I'll be forced to avenge even my mother's death!” Lila said to herself as she lay on the big sofa in her room, going through the soft copy of some company's documents that needed her attention.She tried to focus but she couldn't. Her mind was still reflecting on the fact that Ma'am Elena would despise her family so much that they would want she and her father's deaths at all costs.She's struggling as much to grab some sleep so that she won't be dozing off at work, but the sleep was not coming.And that has been one of her biggest fears. Anytime she's working, she always tries to get enough rest to avoid wearing a dull face at work the next day.“Jeez! It's 7:00am already!” Lila exclaimed and stumbled out of the bed the moment she heard the knock on her door and decided to check out for time on her phone, which was situated on the bedside table.“Gosh! I just pray I don't start by receiving a quer

Chapter 36 Joan Again “Cheer up, Lila. Remember the promise you made to your unborn child? You can't let someone influence you to break it!” A voice in her whispered, and her strength and smiles were restored the moment she had a flashback of the promise.Lila had promised her unborn child since the day she learned of his conception that she would never allow him to see frustration no matter what.“Don't worry, baby, I'll shower you with all the love that you need to live and grow. I promise not to let anger and frustration near you,” were her words the first time she held the pregnancy test results in her hands. Never! She'll never allow her child to see her in an angry and depressed mood.She quietly moved to the restroom in the passage to wear her clothes in the proper way before she'd finally vacate the premises. “Here are your keys,” she said with a frown and flushed the keys on Mr. Anthonio's table before slamming the door behind her.Thinking of informing Mr. Damian, who ha

Chapter 37Joan's Hatred“What's so special about the paper that you wanted to keep it hidden, Lila? Com'on, even divorce papers are no longer kept hidden nowadays,” Joan goaded with a wicked smile.She stood and watched Lila's hand tremble as they stretched to present the paper to Mr. Damian. Although the content is known to her already.“What the hell is this? Termination of appointment! Who gave you this?” Mr. Damian exclaimed. His neutral expression was gradually turning fierce as he sat with annoyance and the chair creaked in protest. “Mr. Anthonio gave it to me, sir,” Lila responded with a stammering voice.Mr. Damian scoffed and paused for a while. “You're barely a month into the job! What must you have done to attract a sack letter?” He demanded with his brows knitted and nostrils widened.“I came late to work, sir. He said I don't deserve the work if I should start coming late at this early stage,” Lila explained in soft sobs within her mind.“So was that why you were leavi

Chapter 38 Strong Attachment In a nick of time, Joan had taken a few steps and was standing before Lila already. “How dare you call me ugly?" Joan yelled with her hands raised to land a slap on Lila's face. “You dare not try that!” Lila said coldly as soon as she blocked the hands from reaching her face. “I was only advising you, and you can try that and thank me later, you ugly bitch!” Lila remarked and flung her hands down. The fluorescent lights buzzed as Lila settled into her cubicle. The office looked a bit strange to her. She can't believe that Mr. Anthonio had ordered for some items to be moved from her office to his already. So that's how desperate he wanted her out of the establishment? She glanced at the clock pinned on the wall; she's got a lot of work to do that day, and time was not by her side. She wanted to start immediately but feels uncomfortable in her splattered clothes. She needs to be in clean clothes so that the environment can also smell nice for her. Sh

CHAPTER 81DYING OF DEPRESSION “Hey, is everything okay? ” Lila asked, feigning concern the moment Grey dropped the call.“Yeah, fine. Everything is okay,” he said with a twitch. Grey sighed heavily, trying to conceal his heartbreak in a mild smile but the sad look on his face was too evident to deceive even a blind man.“Oh, thank God, our food is here. Trust me, you'll like their meal, because I've been eating here often, and I can say with confidence that this is one of the best places to eat out,” Lila commented as soon as the waitress served their order and left.With her eyes fixed on the plate before her but obliquely gazing at Grey, she unwrapped her cutleries and began eating, but was surprised to see that Grey hasn't made any attempt of tasting his food.“Mr. Shun, you don't seem to be okay. I'm sorry, this might seem as if I'm prying into your personal life but you don't expect me to believe that everything is fine with you,” she insisted.Grey was still speechless with d

CHAPTER 80CAN WE MEET?“Hi, can we meet?” Grey woke up with confusion to the beep-beep sound of his phone with Lila's message.Huh? His brows furrowed in surprise.All efforts to rack his brain and figure out the possible reason behind their meeting were unyielding.Could it be that she's suing us in court for attempted murder? But the message looks rather harmless. He thought to himself, and without hesitation, his hands quickly typed, ‘Sure, we can,’ followed by the send button.“Perfect!” Lila exclaimed, and immediately, she texted him the time and address. “Good morning, sir,” the maids and the security guards at the gate greeted Grey as he left for work. But unlike the usual Grey who'd answer nicely and ask them about their night, he only glared at them with bloodshot eyes.Every domestic staff member was familiar with that reaction from him, which mostly occurs like thrice or four times a year.Anyone who has worked in the Shun's mansion need not be told what their master is c

CHAPTER 79: NEXT MOVE “I said, let go of me! There's absolutely nothing wrong with me! I can swear to you that that woman is truly Lila.” Cynthia cried out, trying to break free from the maid's grip as they awaited the coming of the ambulance. Grey stood and glared at her dangerously. “Tell me, Cynthia. What more do I need to know before you finally get locked up in the psychiatric?” He asked with a cold and resolute tone. Hoping for an answer from the crazy woman, all he could get was an intense stare into his eyes. “Sir, the ambulance is here,” one of the maids ran to inform Grey the moment she saw the ambulance drive in. “Thank you,” Grey said politely and nodded. He took a step closer to Cynthia, grabbed her chin in a painful manner with his bloodshot eyes, and whispered into her ears, “You can choose to remain mute for the rest of your life; that, I don't care, but you see that which you're hiding from me? I swear to God, I'll be forced to storm this building and strangle you to

CHAPTER 78HER MOTHER IS NEXT. Lila and Brian knew exactly what she was talking about, but the way they both frowned in confusion, focusing their gazes on her, only made Cynthia more anxious.“I'm telling you, this woman is your ex-wife!” Cynthia retorted with confidence.“Wu! Wu! Wu!!!” Lila exclaimed, sounds of clapping following each of her exclamations.“So, that's your plan, right? Even though I don't know what you're insinuating, what if I was truly allergic to those things? That means you invited me here to kill me, right?” Lila reprimanded angrily.“I'm really sorry, Miss Rick's. Please…” Grey was talking, but Cynthia shut him up immediately.“Cut the crap, Miss Rick's or whatever you call yourself!” Cynthia ranted, looking keenly at Lila's skin, especially her neck, expecting to see it filled with rashes as that's normally her first symptom of garlic and ginger allergy, but to the greatest surprise, Lila's neck was healthy and hearty without any scratches or a trace of rashe

CHAPTER 77PROVING HER SUSPICIONS As the footsteps drew closer, she figured them to be Grey's footsteps, so she slowed down her steps so he could catch up with her.Immediately Grey approached her; he grabbed her waist from behind like a kid that has missed his mother for long.A smile washed down her face seeing how Grey violently opened the bathroom door and dragged her inside.Within a nick of time, he turned her around so they could face each other before he pinned her to the wall, and his lips wasted no time to locate hers, but Lila instantly placed her fingers across his lips. His heart was already beating faster than an athlete in a relay race.“What are you trying to do, Grey?” She asked with a cheeky smile, staring at him flirtatiously.But instead of answering her question, he seemed to be too aroused at her actions.Swiftly, he held the finger, which was on his lips, and brought it down before kissing her knuckles. Grey lifted her hand and placed it on his chest, making he

Chapter 76DINNER AT THE SHUN'S MANSION Lila smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She had spent almost two hours last night trying to find the outfit that would suit the dinner. She couldn't stop blushing at the choice of seductive dress she chose.“Hey, hope you know that I'm going with you as well?” Brian asked as he stood behind her.“Oh my God! Brian, you almost startled me, you know,” she exclaimed, throwing her lipstick to the ground.Brian had left the other night for his house, and she can't remember discussing going along with him. But there he was at her back, fully dressed in his own captivating outfit already.“Brian, are you sure this is a good idea? I don't want Cynthia to feel bad. What if she only planned the dinner for one?” She asked calmly.Seeing the conflicting emotions outwardly displayed in her facial expression, Brian drew closer and held her from behind. “You know how much I don't trust those people, right? Believe me, that woman's mind can conceive a great d

CHAPTER 75THE DOCTOR'S REPORT Upon returning from work, Grey met Cynthia lying on the couch, looking so dejected with a frown engulfing her face.Expecting that she'll rush and welcome him excitedly following what happened last night, he was surprised to see her looking rather grim, not even minding the gift bag he was holding.“Hey, is everything okay?” He asked after he instructed the maid to drop his suitcase in the room.“I'm fine,” she answered plainly with an uneven tone.“Are you sure, honey?” He asked again, feeling unsatisfied with her first response as his hands gently trailed her face, pulling back the tiny strands of hair on her forehead.Cynthia couldn't help but smile inwardly at how easy it was for her to get him worried about her, but she still maintained a plain look as if she was truly bothered.“Well, I got something for you,” he said and presented the gift bag to her.Unlike Cynthia, she took the bag and dropped it aside immediately, replying with a mere ‘thank y

CHAPTER 74THE VISIT OF KARMA “She's alive, Cynthia. What are we going to do?” Her mother's words sent a chill of conflicting emotions down her spine.Is Lila truly alive? How? When? Wasn't she involved in a fatal accident that claimed her life?“Besides, why the coincidence? First, an anonymous number threatened her with exposing Jannell's identity, and now her mother is filled with fear and suspense that Lila is alive?” Cynthia thought to herself.Silence fell in the room for a while. Cynthia still couldn't get why her mother was panicking if Lila were truly alive. She's done nothing to her, right? After all, her death was a result of an accident!After a while of debating in her heart, trying to figure out the reason behind her mother's uneasiness but couldn't get any answer, Cynthia was forced to ask, “But wait, mother; how did you know and come to the conclusion that she's alive, and even if it happens to be like that, why the great panicking?” She demanded coldly, peering in

CHAPTER 73SHE'S ALIVE.Watching some video clips on her phone, she saw a new message pop up on her screen.Instantly, she opened the message, hoping that it was from one of the clients she had been anticipating a reply from.“What nonsense!” Lila shouted. Her hands began to tremble.Is Cynthia doing this on purpose just to provoke her? Lila slouched to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of cold water to cool her fast-beating heart. She sneered as she looked at the multiple pictures Cynthia had sent to her.Fuck! That wasn't the result she was expecting. So that bitch and her husband still got along without a fight even after all the call snubbings and the pictures?She thought Grey and Cynthia were no longer a lovely couple, hoping that those pictures she asked Brian to take would facilitate the destruction of their family. But no, it seems like Grey was only trying to use and dump her while he goes back to his crazy wife afterwards. “That guy must be a jerk!” She cursed with bitterness
