The moment Fiona was finally gone from view, Ariana kept gazing at the Alex fellow before her wondering desperately what his true intentions might be. He smiled at her and shook his head. "You do not have to overthink it's okay. I was just trying to help you. According to what Clara told me, it seems like you and this lady do not have much of a good history together. So I was just trying to help a friend." He said she smiled before shaking her head." I am not blaming you for anything. I appreciate your help. But you seriously couldn't think of any other way to do it?" She asked and he smirked." I couldn't waste the opportunity to get a little bit close to you and at least claim you as mine, even if it's just for a few seconds. " He said with a smirk and Ariana couldn't help the blush that crept up her cheeks.' God damn it. He is so good. ' She thought and rolled her eyes before looking away. "Yeah. Nice try." She said and he laughed. He couldn't just help it. He was already going

The news of the internet world was unknown to Ariana as she battled with a certain thought and commotion in her mind presently, and it was all about trying to do everything as much as she could so that the stunning, handsome Alexander Sterling, a few meters away from her presently, would not succeed in getting into her heart like he was directly planning to do right now. In all her existence, she had never met any man as charming as he was. God, he was just so cute, and she felt herself slowly drifting away from her original plan and purpose concerning any man who wanted to step back into her life. So, for the rest of the journey back home, she did all she could to remain silent and not say a word while she sat in the back seat of the car. Alex, from time to time, would peek through the side-view mirror of the car to take a look at her and see how she was doing. He couldn't help but notice her mood drift from the lively way it was back at the park to the dull mood she was in when he f

They both returned to the apartment and settled in with Clara, giving Ariana a long hard stare while she went around to get herself ready to prepare a meal for the both of them. Ariana felt a little uneasy with the way Clara was staring at her and tried as much as she could to ignore it but it couldn't just pass her by. After a long while, she sighed and slowly veered around to look at Clara. "Okay, I know you want to tell me something. What is it?" She asked and Clara scoffed. "Are you going to pretend like you don't know what I'm trying to insinuate? " She asked. Ariana rolled her eyes and pretended as though she didn't understand. "Honestly, I don't even understand the fuss of this attitude of yours. I just want to be on my own. Is there a crime in that? " She said and Clara scoffed. "Ari, I am not requesting that you throw your life back into the pit you escaped from but can't you at least just soften up for once for a kind dude that hasn't even done anything wrong to you and i

A deep breath escaped his lips as he glimpsed down at the piece of paper before him, whilst stroking his pen against it relentlessly and briskly, signing with so much desperation to finish on time. He wiped the bead of sweat away from his face and took a deep breath before lowering the pen against the table. Then he relaxed back against his seat and stared at the ceiling. He had decided to finish up his work at home and round up everything so he could spend the next two or three days trying to find a way to get back to Ariana and have a little chat with her. But unfortunately for him, the work before him was so piled up and massive, he knew he would have to take the whole night to finish everything up once and for all. 'God, this is just harder than I thought. ' He thought to himself as he stared at the bundle of documents on his table. He bit his lip and returned his focus to his laptop. He typed briskly into it, thinking of a better, quick way to end the entire bundle of workload be

He is still standing in his position with countless, endless, relentless thoughts about her ringing through his mind as he allows the water from the shower to continue pouring over him, washing through his body and making his desire for her a lot stronger. He raked his fingers through his hair, wiping some streams of water away from his face, and took a deep breath. 'I must not give up on this. ' He thought to himself and blinked twice to get away some water that was trying to obstruct his eyes. 'Ariana, ' he thought and gritted his teeth. 'This has already gotten to the bottom of it. I don't think I can bear this anymore. I have to hurry up with whatever I'm doing and get my work done as fast as possible tonight. But how is it going to be that easy when that relentless daughter of a bitch is still presently in my study, trying as much as she can to make my life a living hell? ' He thought and folded his arms when he heard a particular sound call his attention. His phone was ringing f

"Well, it appears you are beginning to get a bunch more requests for movie shows and lots of publicity deals these days. " Clara said as she scrolled through Ariana's emails on her laptop while shaking her head with surprise. "I did not expect that your progress was going to get you this many deals." She said, and Ariana gave her a look that made her know she thought she was crazy. Clara chuckled and shrugged, "Yeah, I guess I'm stupid. Who wouldn't receive such messages after what you have achieved?" She said, and Ariana chuckled." I was expecting it, but of course, you know the one we are going for." She said, and Clara smiled."I know, I'm just going to have to reply to all of this and inform them that it definitely will not be possible. " She said as she squinted her eyelids and adjusted her glasses while she typed away on the laptop. "this is going to be a lot of work. I mean, look at this, this is up to like 20 emails from different companies and more are still dropping in, res

Just like a flash, the next morning arrived as briskly as the blink of an eye, and Ariana found herself standing right at the entrance of the Lauder International Broadcasting Channel with Clara beside her, gently arranging her files in her folder. As Ariana looked up at the headboard that held the name of the industry right before her, she took a deep breath and folded her arms. "I did not expect to find myself back here," she said, and Clara grinned. "Can you please just ignore the past for a few moments, Ariana? We are trying to ensure the smooth progress of your career here. " She said, and Ariana shrugged. "I am not worried about it. I am going to give the interview, but I can't help being nervous that these guys will try to bring up that issue again. " She said, and Clara patted her shoulders. "Just take a deep breath and focus on the interview and nothing else. Clear your mind off the past and what you feel might happen. Just don't think about it, " she said, and Ariana heav

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

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

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.

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.
