2024-10-29 19:42:56The moment Vincent is gone, Ariana takes a deep breath and sighs, placing her hands against her chest as if trying to cool off.
She shakes her head and glances at the already-closed door."Oh my god, that is the hardest vicious monster I have ever had to deal with or encounter," she says and turns to Clara who is smiling and typing some things into her phone.Clara places her phone back into her pocket and turns to Ariana, giving her an indifferent expression."How the hell did you do that? How did you manage to get this Mr Reginald number of all people?" Ariana asks and Clara shrugs."Oh, well, things unexpected come to some people when they least expect it. I think that is all I have to say, and I cannot go further into the details; it is my business," Clara says, and Ariana squints her eyelids at her, gazing at her suspiciously.She is about to talk but then Clara stands in front of her and smiles. "And you, on the otherRelated chapters
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 130. Get Any Worse
Fiona steps into the building with so much anger and rage clouding through her memory, slamming the door shut with every power within her as she clenches her fists tight and drops her pulse against the sofa in the living room. Then she begins to pace about, rubbing and raking her hands crazily through her hair with all the frustration within her. "This has gotten to the limit and I don’t think I can bear this anymore." She speaks to herself. I can't believe this, I absolutely cannot believe this. She thinks to herself as she takes a deep breath and stops at a certain position in the sitting room before biting her against her lip looking lost in thought. "Look at the very one person I have been fighting for all my life, he just stood there like a fool, arguing with somebody else over this same woman, this same…" She pauses with frustration and groans before slamming her palm against a nearby wall."I cannot accept this; I totally canno
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 131. It Can't Be Helped
Ariana's POV "Mommy, I want this one too." As if the entire trouble hasn't gotten so worse, Liam suddenly surfaces from nowhere, holding a bag of candies in his hand, and I notice as he comes to a stop before the three of us with an excited grin on his face slowly disappearing. Yep. He wasn't expecting to see Vincent and Alex. I chuckle and examine him calmly. Then, to lighten up the mood, I smile at him and gesture at him to come forward. I squat over to his height and take the bag from him." You want this one too?" I ask, and then he nods his head calmly before looking up at Vincent once again with that daring, threatening expression on his face that makes me chuckle inwardly. Is he seriously about to have a fight with his father over me right now? I think to myself but then I brush the thought away. Nah, I don't even actually think I should acknowledge Vincent as his father right now. Should I? I think to myself before rubbing his hair. "Okay, I'm going to get it for you b
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 132. I Can't Take This
Ariana's POV Okay, so you see this situation about to take place here right now in front of me between these two men. Is this a particular situation I am looking at right now? I have gone through it before, oh yes, and in fact, it ended up in a terrible disaster that got me into one of the things I have been trying to avoid in my life after becoming a celebrity. The media. I have always done my best to avoid it, but well, it looks like these particular two men are not willing to let it go, so I am practically so done. I am not even going to bother separating them, if they want to keep fighting it here right now, that is just it.I don't blame Alex anyway; I understand he is trying to fight for me, and Vincent is irrationally, but what am I supposed to do? I don't want to get myself involved. "Okay guys, can you like please stop this?" I quickly ask, but Vincent is not listening. "I am not going to stop until this bastard gets out of here."" Well, I am not leaving until you vile

THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 133. Is Liam Truly Not Your Son?
Ariana's POV Everything has been sorted out by the hospital officials and Liam has been discharged that very present day. The matter is being reported to the police and investigations are being carried out to figure out the culprits who tried to attempt to end my life and figure out probably the life of my son. It is probably the life of Liam they were targeting. So, did the cops say from the investigation they made? They discovered that the force of the impact was solely targeted at the back seat of the vehicle where Liam was previously sitting down. The thought of that makes me just clench my fists tight with so much fury. I want to break so many things. But well, all of that is useless right now. The thought of it makes me so frightened that there are people in the world who would want to end my life or probably the life of my son. But for what reason? I haven't wronged or offended anyone before. I don't even know what to think. Anyway, my fear right now is nothing compared to
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 134. Why are you hiding it from me?
Ariana's POVI observe Alex's concentrated expression as he looks at me deeply, without wavering, looking like a detective trying to force out information from somebody. I frown slightly and tilt my head to the right with confusion. The weight of that question was so hard that it hit me so furiously against the chest, making me almost stagger back even though I was sitting down. Where the hell is this question coming from? I wonder to myself as I raise an eyebrow, observing them. Then I glance at Liam. This is not a discussion that should be held right now in his presence. I sigh calmly and then take him off my lap. "Liam, can you please help Clara in the kitchen, okay? I have something important to discuss." I say and Liam nods his head calmly."nope, I think it's advisable to let the boy stay," Vincent says briskly and I look at him with a furious glare."no, you have no authority to tell me what I want to do with my son, so that is how it will be. Liam, I will call you later,"
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 135. What Sort Of Personal Deal?
Ariana's POV Surprisingly, for the next 3 or 4 days, I didn't receive any disturbance or any sort of distraction from the so-called Vincent, and it is surprising since he stipulated that he was determined to get back to his son after I revealed it to him.I, however, did not try the least to keep such thoughts in my mind as I decided to return my focus to the present task at hand. In about a week or two, we are going to be heading out of this country straight towards the movie set where the production of my next debut series fantasy movie will be held.I can't keep stressing my mind to think about anything else, or Vincent, for that matter. It is not going to help me the least and I know that.Liam is seated in a section of the large sitting room, typing endlessly into his children's toy laptop while I am seated in our professional mode, typing briskly and scanning through all the emails I have received for the past week.This is something that Clara would do on a normal day on her o
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 136. You Pervert
Ariana's POV "I have a personal deal to take with you, Mrs. Ariana, and I'm hoping you can take it into consideration." I stop for a moment. The moment those words escape his lips, I relax against my chair and fold my arms, scrutinizing him deeply. A personal deal? Why is it personal? Anything that is going to happen between the both of us is supposed to be official. What exactly is making this sort of thing personal? I don't know what I'm supposed to think now, but I decide to allow him to speak first. I take a deep breath and sigh, then I rub my palm against my forehead. "Okay, fine. I'm ready to listen. Now spill it up, please. I have many important things I need to get to." I say, and then he chuckles." I understand your state, Miss Ariana, so I'm not going to waste any much of your time, okay?" He says, and I nod my head without looking at him. He relaxes and shifts on his chair before settling on his table. He gazes at the document on it, and from the expression on his fac

THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 150. Circumstances
Vincent's POV The sight before me gets straight into my nerves, making me feel unsettled. My breathing becomes so hoarse as if I am struggling to catch my breath. As if I have something stuck in my throat. But it is evidence that it is the fury that is already tearing through my body. God knows that if he as much as attempts to touch a single hair on that little boy's body, I am not going to spare even his bones. I shut my eyes and take a deep breath. Is at this point that I feel extremely powerless in ways that I never intended to feel. I can't let him do anything to that boy. The boy whom I just discovered a few days ago is my son. The son I have had for seven years without even knowing. This son I never grew up with. The son I never raised. All these endless, frustrating thoughts are making my anger increase exponentially deep down with me, but I'm struggling to keep my coal. Releasing my fury right now is not going to make every meeting get better. It's only going to mak
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 149. No Such Consequence
Vincent's POV I know that I shouldn't trust their judgment. These people who are with me right now, presently the most notorious criminals in the city, will have to present with the tactics they used to secure this attack. I will have to think wisely because whatever action I want to partake in. I cannot lose my guard and allow them to overpower me because of any stupidity of any sort. I continue to point the gun at the mafia who was previously holding me as he begins to lead me toward the place where they said my son had been kept. The man whom I had already suspected to be their boss was also leading the way ahead of him together with Fiona and another of his bodyguards who had been attempting to apprehend me all the while. The look Fiona is giving me let me know that she still has other tricks and tactics up her slave but I am not going to fall for it anymore. I am also going to show that I have my tricks stuck up in my sack of plans for all of them. They have no idea the e
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 148. Going To Regret That Decision
Vincent's POVBang!!!!!The very loud, powerful, vibrating sound of a gunshot echoes loudly in my ears, almost making my ear drums blackout as I immediately sit up on the ground, placing my hand against my ear. That was so freaking loud. It felt as if my eardrums were about to explode. Who the hell had to guts to do that? I manage to lift my head and look at my surroundings while still placing my hand against my ear as if it could reduce the pain I am feeling. The images around me are a little bit blurry, and this makes me squint my eyelids for a little while, trying to process what I am looking at. "Welcome back to the land of the living Mr Vincent." A voice speaks up, and after a few minutes, the images are now a little bit clearer directly in front of me. The first image I see makes me frown immediately as I raise an eyebrow with shock not believing what I am looking at right now. "Flora?" I find myself saying softly but then she just rolls her eyes and looks away while scof
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 147. Dangerous And Abnormal
Ariana's POV I feel like a needle has just been pierced into my ears. What the hell... I don't understand.I don't get it. I look at him with excessive shock in my eyes and then squeeze my eyelids, my brain trying to process what I just heard.I must be in some sort of dream, right? He must have noticed my expression because he chuckles and then shakes his head before gazing down at the ground."I know this must be so hard for you to process because, well, anyone listening to this will think it's a very, very dumb idea, but I can assure you that it's the best thing to do. I am the only one that has the capability of helping you right now, Ariana, and what you just have to do is give me what I want."I shake my head with frustration." Okay, so can I ask a question." I request and he gestures towards me as if offering me the podium. "Yes of course. The floor is yours. Ask away. What do you want to know?" " Why do you want me to marry you?""Because Ariana, at this point, my min
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 146. A Lot More Easier If You Marry Me
Ariana's POV I know he has assured me that everything is going to be fine and I should relax and not let it get to my head.But God I can't help it. I seriously can't. I am 100% impatient as I continue to pace back and forth in endless stances all over every section and every nook and cranny of the large sitting room while Clara remains seated on the sofa with her legs also trembling, looking at me with a worried expression on her face."You have to calm down, Ariana, okay? worrying yourself this much is not going to make the situation even better." She says, but then I turn my face to look at her and watch as she immediately shuts her mouth, gazing at the ground."I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that" she replies immediately, and I can tell she is feeling extreme guilt for actually losing Liam when he was directly under her watch. But the Lord knows I can't blame her. I wasn't expecting her to be so strong enough to overpower powerful-looking strong kidnappers like that.I just
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 145. Sort Of High Ranking Terrorists
Vincent's POV What I am doing right now is extremely stupid, but call me crazy; I cannot let this type of situation just pass me by; this is my son we are talking about, so I am going to follow this marker to the last drop and ensure that everything goes the way it should.I and the officers are precisely stepping into an unknown territory, with our eyes all around us, trying to observe the surroundings and figure out any potential threat that may come out from nowhere.As per the phone call Ariana received, and the information we were able to gather from tracing the call, this is where the location came from. And we are all scrutinizing every way deeply, trying to figure out any single slight suspicion that might give us what we are looking for.The police officers gave me a gun, just in case the threat we are about to meet is much more deadly than we can anticipate. I don't need to be taught how to use it, it is something I am quite familiar with and have been an expert with for a
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 144. We Will Kill Your Son
Ariana's POVHeavens know that I have never been in such heavy turmoil as the one I am right now. The confusion in my senses is extreme. I am not in my right senses as I scratch my fingers endlessly against my hair pacing about the sitting room with Clara following me every step I go to ensure that I don’t delve into the very deep pits of madness. Vincent is not around now, but well, I can’t blame him for not being here. He is just as troubled as I am. He had followed the officers with their investigation to make sure that things didn’t relent and they got to the bottom of this. I know he is going to do everything within his power to ensure that this goes well, even neglecting his own business, but, I can’t help a very strange dark feeling within me that tells me that this is only just the beginning, that this is just a tip of the iceberg and far worse things are about to come. I don’t understand and I don’t get it. Why are they doing this? Why? I keep thinking to myself as I gna
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 143. Who Could Be After Her?
Vincent’s POVThe confusion and the frustration in my mind is beyond what I can comprehend. I am now relaxed back in my office, rubbing my palm through my forehead with a lot of thoughts racing through my mind. Ariana.She is the only person I can think of right now. I had thought that this method of trying to rescue her from her problems would have gotten her to soften towards me. But if not anything, she has gotten worse. I don’t know, I was hoping that maybe her feelings would be rekindled by the extreme sex experience we’ve been having. But she keeps distancing herself away from me even more. I don’t get it. Is she now just sleeping with me to satisfy her sexual needs, or what? I rake my fingers through my hair with frustration and then slam my palms against my table. What the hell am I even doing? Why the hell can’t I just for once stop thinking about her? It is just so hard. And then, there is the thought of that Alex fellow, who seems like he is relentless and bent on ge
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 142. This Is A Joke
Ariana's POVWithin a few minutes, I am back home to see Clara pacing up and down in the living room, looking as though the entire world has descended upon her. I took a deep breath and shut the door quite loudly to grab her attention because it seemed like she didn't notice me stepping in. She jolts and almost loses her footing the moment she hears that as she looks at me, stepping in with wide eyes. Okay, her reaction right now is frightening me because I have never seen Clara look this frightened or paranoid to this extent in my life before. I chuckle and step into the living room, dropping my bag against the sofa. "Never you ever scare me like that," she says loudly and I raise an eyebrow at her." I'm sorry, I had to. You look like you were lost in the world for a while so I felt like bringing back your attention." I say and watch as she chuckles nervously as if... Okay, that laugh looked kind of forced. She didn't have the intention to laugh. Something is wrong with her.
