THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y CHAPTER 42
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 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 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 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 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

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 48 THE RETURN FOR REVENGE Lila stood at the corner while she stared at her ex-husband, Grey, with his wife, Cynthia. She's there to watch the commissioning of the new company, the S&S Wine Empire, a collaboration of the Shuns and the Sims family. The venue was filled with men and women of the hierarchy dining harmoniously as they celebrated the new accomplishment of the Shuns and Sims family. She watched Cynthia and her mother dressed in pink alongside her ex-husband and his family. An achievement worthy of celebration to them was a heart-wrenching event for her. She felt her heart pounding in her chest whenever she saw their faces ignited with joy. The more she sees them wear a smile, the greater the pang of hatred and revenge burns in her heart. She just wished she could turn the whole table around and dismiss everyone from the hall. “Where do you think you are going? And... what are you trying to do, Lila?” A familiar voice whispered into her ear, and sudden

CHAPTER 49 INSTILLING FEAR “Oh, sorry, my attention was just caught by the beautiful couple standing over there,” Cynthia feigned an explanation when she saw a couple she knew walk in. “I gave them the invitation late, and I'm just surprised to see that they still made it,” she added with a faint smile, covering her guilt. She was gripped with fear; there was no way someone who had been declared dead some years ago would still be alive, right? “Well, I'm Cynthia, wife to the most handsome and richest man, as you can see, and thanks for gracing our occasion,” she said after heaving a sigh of relief, but the fear in her was still very evident. Lila nodded; the displeased frown on Grey's face for his wife's interruption was too evident to remain unnoticed by her, but that was her plan, by the way, so it gave her more satisfaction. The fear and doubt in Cynthia slowly dispelled when she quickly checked through her phone and confirmed from the pictures and the news about Lila'

THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y CHAPTER 91: THE DNA TEST
CHAPTER 92THE DNA TEST“Mr. Brian, do you know that man? And why did we even come to the hospital, by the way?” Little asked with an inquisitive look after they left the hospital.Without a second thought, Brian answered wittily.“Sure, he's a friend, and—I actually wanted to see a doctor friend of mine, but unfortunately, he seems not to be on duty today.” Brian explained, convincingly and confusingly, to the little boy at the same time.“But—I think I know that man somewhere. He has once been to our house,” Ethan added.“What? No way!” Brian answered with furrowed brows. His mind began to race that the boy might tell his mother about meeting with Grey at the hospital.“I know who you are talking about, but this one is entirely a different person. In fact, he just returned from overseas yesterday. Probably, I think it should just be a resemblance, okay?” Brian explained, and the boy nodded.“Remember, every individual in this life has a lookalike somewhere he or she doesn't even have
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y CHAPTER 91: BETRAYING THE TRUST
CHAPTER 91Brian returned to his house early in the morning so that he could get ready for work. Sitting in the dining room while sipping a cup of tea, he heard a knock on his door. “Come in,” he said without hesitation, believing that it could be Lila, because most times she does pass by the house before she proceeds to her office, which is just a few miles away. “Lila, I thought…” he paused when he heard a masculine voice greeting. “You, what are you doing here?” Brian said with an agitating frown. “Calm down, man. I'm only here for peace, so no need for the violent attack.” Grey, he said softly as he moved closer. “Well, you have a nice apartment.” He said as he rolled his eyes around the corners of the room. “I know that already. Can you just go straight to the point? I've got a lot of things to do .” Brian said rudely. “Alright. The thing is… I'm here for a favor, which I need so desperately from you.” Grey mentioned and paused to take a deep breath. “I… I saw Lila with a

CHAPTER 90HE KNOWS ALREADY. “Ethan, I said you should go inside. Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you once I'm done,” Lila said casually as she tried to avoid the little boy's question with a convincing peck on his cheek, but Ethan's smartness won't let him fall for her trick easily.“Come on, Ethan, have you forgotten that you have some homework to do? Let's get it done before your tutor comes.” Aunt Kendy convinced him when she saw the boy's hesitation to leave.“Answer my question, Lila. Whose son is he?” Grey insisted as his countenance began to turn unfriendly.“I don't owe you any explanations for the paternity of my son, Mr. Greyshun. Besides, where are your two daughters?” Lila responded with a straight face.Her hesitation made Grey's stomach churn. “Could it be that she was pregnant before the divorce?” he mouthed to himself. “Fine, I'll let that be. So what about the burning down of the warehouse? The condemnation of Cynthia's dress at the party? The cajoling of m

CHAPTER 89 IS THAT MAN MY FATHER? “Where is she?” Grey asked with a disgruntled look. “W—where is who?” Aunt Kendy replied wittily, putting up a look of confusion on her face. “Where is Lila, ma'am Kendy? Stop pretending as if you don't know what I'm talking about!” Grey retorted, his voice rising to a higher pitch at every word she uttered. “Look, Mr. Grey, I still don't know what you are talking about. Have you started going insane? How can you barge into my house and start asking me questions about the same woman you betrayed and sent to her early grave?” Aunt Kendy ranted, threatening to call the police on him if he didn't disappear from her door. Her words sent a chill down his spine. Instantly, a wave of guilt blew over him. Every day of his life since the departure of Lila, he had been secretly living with that guilt of being the root cause of her death. Even though he never loved her, Cynthia has been unable to fill that space that she left. “Oh, are you still stan

CHAPTER 88FIND HERJust as planned, Mark ensured that he convinced Grey to dump the old woman on the lonely, secluded streets.Almost suffocating from the dust of the unwashed sacks, Lila wasted no time storming out of the building an hour after the place became silent.“Fuck! I almost got caught! You need to be more careful next time, Lila!” She scolded herself.The ride back to the Shun's mansion lasted for thirty minutes. As soon as they approached the parking lot, Grey's phone began to ring.When he checked the caller ID, he wasted no time in picking it up.Mark's brows slightly furrowed in confusion. For the long time he had known Grey, he had never seen him pick a call from a strange number on that particular phone.“Hey, what's up?” He said that as soon as he picked up the call.“Were you able to trace her?” Her? he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.“Yes, boss. I'll send you pictures of her address now. I don't think that lady is who she made people believe she is.” Th

Thanks for the payment.” The voice of the man echoed from the voice note he sent to her.Lila stretched her body as she stumbled out of the bed.In a nick of time, all the dramas that had been happening lately involving the Shun family flooded her head, and she couldn't keep away from smiling.She stood at the large mirror hung on the wall and smiled at how far she had gone with her revenge. Even though she had spent a lot to convince the shareholders to withdraw their shares, it is nothing compared to the accomplishment of her goal.Seeing Grey's face wrapped up with frustration was one thing that gave her the utmost joy.Without hesitation, she drew near the bedside table and grabbed her phone to place a call.“Hey, how's she doing? Is she still breathing?” She asked as soon as the person on the other end of the phone picked up.“Yes,

CHAPTER 86 WE'RE WITHDRAWING OUR SHARES“Follow me,” Grey instructed the secretary as soon as he stepped out of his office. Marching towards the conference room, his mind kept racing, conceiving different thoughts regarding the urgent meeting. When he entered, all the members were seated with their faces tight up in a frown. From their expression, he can tell that the urgent meeting must have been arranged due to a pressing ugly event. “Good morning, everyone. I'm sorry for coming late,” he said apologetically as he sat down while his secretary stood beside him. “You don't need to apologize, Mr. Grey. We were the ones that organized the meeting without your consent, so we should be the ones apologizing instead,” one of the men said courtly. “Alright. So to what do I owe this important invitation from my dear shareholders? Please, I'll love it if we can conclude the meeting on time so I can get back to the bunch of work on my table.” Grey said with a polite tone as he rolled his

Why are all these things happening to me!” He lamented, and before he knew it, his vision was getting blurred as tears clung to his lashes. Immediately, he hopped into his car and headed straight to the rehabilitation center. Since the day Cynthia was taken there, he had never bothered stepping his feet there to pay her a visit. “What the hell is going on?” he rambled inwardly after waiting at the reception for more than thirty minutes since when the nurse promised to inform him. Cynthia has a visitor. “What do we do, doctor? You know how powerful this man is; I'm afraid he might sue us in court if he learns that his wife had escaped!” The nurse explained in panic. “Give me a minute,” ’the doctor said and left with confidence. “D—doctor, is everything okay? How's she doing? Where’s my wife?” G

Reluctantly, he tossed his hands and took it out, and seeing the caller ID, his face flushed with a frown before he hissed and rejected the call after seeing that it was the same mysterious number who was calling.“What the fuck! Is this person crazy?” He mumbled to himself furiously when the number kept calling persistently.I think I need to warn whoever is doing this nonsense!” He mumbled and picked up the call with fury when the number called for the twentieth time.“Are you crazy or something? In fact, who the hell do you think you are to make me waste precious time just because I was stupidly waiting for you? You know what, you're just lucky that I don't know your address or anything about you; if not, I swear, I'll do everything in my power to find you and make sure that you're well dealt with! Nonsens
