THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y chapter 10: It is finished
Chapter 10.It is Finished In the quiet hours of the evening, Lila sat down on the veranda of Shun's mansion, watching how the leaves of the tree were dancing to the blowing breeze. With her glass of wine, she sat and read her favourite novel, thinking of the tribulations she was facing in her marriage.“Had she known that things would go as sour as this, she wouldn't have rushed to marry at all; perhaps she would have been lucky to marry someone who deserves her true love and will treat her like a queen.” She thought to herself. From afar, she saw her husband driving in as the gate was opened by security. Just before he could finish parking the car, his mother came out of the backyard and went to welcome her son. They talked for a few minutes before proceeding to the entrance of the house.“I'm sure she's reporting what happened today to her son," Lila thought.Fear gripped her because she was scared of how her husband would react. “If he could be so mad at me when she lied that I

“Nothing seems to affect her, Mom. It has been over five hours now since she ate, and she's still looking strong and healthy.” Grey lamented in panic.With her mouth wide open in shock, Mrs. Shun asked, “Are you sure you poisoned the food?”“Of course, yes. She's not an ordinary human, maybe.”“Could it be that she saw you when you were mixing the poison?” His mother asked again.“Not at all! Lila was searching for the licence.”Mute and shocked at the mysterious survival of Lila after eating the poisoned food, they both sat on the couch, thinking of a way out. “The maid! Mum, I think the maid knows something about this!” Grey exclaimed.“What about the maid? Why would you think she knows something about it?”“She was the only one downstairs when it happened. Think of it, mom. The food was in the dining room, but it ended up in the kitchen. I know what I'm saying. Laura is behind this.” Grey emphasised.“Laura!” Mrs. Shun shouted.“Yes, ma'am.” “To my room now.” Mrs. Shun instructed

Chapter 12The Evidence The sight of Grey standing before her only brought back terrible memories of her marriage. That night that he caused her first miscarriage was the most terrible night of her life she could ever forget. Remembering how Grey pushed her to the floor the moment she informed him that she had secured another job—at least one that could help them run the family before he continued searching for another job—was enough to make her despise him.“Oh, so now you're mocking me as a jobless man already, Lila.” He took the employment letter from her hands and tore it into pieces.“Grey, please, stop!” She screamed as she struggled to collect the letter from him.Grey deliberately pushed her onto the slippery tiles. Hitting her head badly, she lost consciousness immediately. Grey ignored her lying body on the floor and dashed out of the room. “Next time, you'll learn your lesson.”Lila was still lying half-dead on the floor thirty minutes after he left.“Unless I've gotten

“Here, you can have it now.” Without any greetings, Grey handed the papers over to Lila immediately she opened the door to him.Lila quickly opened the file to have a glance of the papers before she could utter anything.“Do you care for some breakfast?” Lila said with a light grin, wincing at him. Her mind was full of joy as she saw the unhiddened depression in Grey's face. She actually felt like laughing out loud for the torture she's giving him at the moment, but the respect she still hold for their union in the past won't allow her to do that. Grey centred a fierce look at her, he knew she was just trying to make a gesture of him. He nodded before he gave an answer, “No, thank you. So you think you can use food that easily and end my existence.”“Oh, my bad.” Lila responded reluctantly.“I was only trying to be nice and welcoming. I never knew your quaint mother has finally succeeded in conditioning your mind to this rotten belief that I'm after your life.”Grey's heart burnt as

“As if I care!” Lila hissed. Shrugging her shoulders, Charia said coldly, “I'll not force decisions on you. I can only advise you in the best way I can. It's your choice to still decide if you'd take the advice or not.” The expression on her face and her tone could send notes of anger to Lila. “Alright, what do you suggest I do now?” Lila stood and left her couch and sat closer to Charia before letting the question out again calmly. Charia was hesitant to reply. As if she's dumb, she stared at Lila without an eye blink. “Charia!” She trembled as Lila startled her out of her world of imagination. “I asked you a question,” “Oh! Sorry.” Charia wiped her face as one who just woke up from sleep. “Are you okay, at all?” Lila asked, panicked. It has been long she saw Charia lost in thoughts as this. “Y–yeah. I'm fine.” “I suggest you follow your mind. If left on your own, what would you have done?” Charia's soft tone echoed. After a moment of silence, “I'll leave the country.” Lila

Chapter 15FRUSTRATION “You and I have no business together, so I don't see any reason why I should take your call. In fact, I need to delete this contact once I'm done cooking.” Lila mumbled as she stood and looked at Grey's name on her screen. She hissed and dropped the phone back on the table to continue her kitchen chores.“Just call and hear him out, first.” A voice within her persuaded her, and she reluctantly carried the phone and dialed Grey's contact.“Hey, Lila,” Grey called out and took a deep breath on the other end of the phone the moment Lila received the call.“Finally, thank God you picked up my call.” He said calmly.“What? I can't believe this is Grey talking.” Lila took the phone off her ear, increasing the screen brightness to check if truly it was Grey that was on the other end of the phone.“Wow! I never knew divorce can humble a man like him,” she thought to herself and smiled.Before now, Lila's mind was always brimming with fear anytime she missed a call from

Chapter 16SO RUDE“This is past 2 o'clock, and I have to make it there before 4:00 pm." Lila mumbled and hissed continually as she looked at every passing second on her phone. Her unceasing hissed dragged the attention of everyone in the minibus. They wondered what could be making a young and pretty woman as such to be hissing like one old woman who was thinking of the difference of life in the past and the hardship of the current times.What puzzled them most was that she doesn't look pregnant. Of course she has to be at the Grace hospital before 4:00 pm, or else she won't be able to see her father because the hospital rule is that visitation ends by 4 o'clock.Lila centered an angry gaze at the driver, who was driving at a moderate speed. She wished she could just take the sterry from him and asked all passengers to drop down so that she could fire the car on gear 3 to her destination.Her uneasiness in the car was becoming unbearable for some passengers who got irritated by her h

Chapter 17 STAMMERING “Aren't I supposed to be seen here as well? Or am I in the wrong ward? Lila asked politely, still wearing the intoxicating smile on her ravishing face. “N–no. You're in the right place. Pardon me for asking,” Mrs. Shun, who never ceased to raise her voice and display her bossy nature to Lila, suddenly turned into a stammerrer. She turned her face slowly to look at Ma'am Elena, who was seated beside Lila's father, and she saw the confusion in her face, which was very evident. They couldn't say anything to each other and communicated with only eye contact. “Gosh! I just hope that this girl hasn't been here for long listening to our conversation. Oh! We’re finished,” Mrs. Shun thought inwardly, and coincidentally, that was the same thought running through Elena's mind, but there was no way they could say a word to each other about what they think and how they feel. “Thank you for coming, Mrs. Shun. I know you didn't come because of me, but he's still

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.
