THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y CHAPTER 33
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 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.

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 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
