4. BAD FEELINGS
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Vincent looked like he was about to explode. The entire world around him felt like it was spinning without control. He found himself shivering. Not shivering with worry or sorrow. But shivering with fury.
This is unacceptable. He thought to himself. Who the hell did she think she was? Just because she scored some little...... he clenched his fists as he remained in his position trying as much as he could to contain his fury but it was not just working."Ariana. " He said softly trying to be as calm as he could because he was gradually losing it. "I need this to stop. Immediately. I need you to stop with immediate effect." She glared back at him."And I need you to quit acting so stupid because you have no right to control me. What do I look like to you?" She retorted back at him sharply and he looked at her as he finally lost his temper."That's it. I can't take this anymore. This stupidity must end." He said as he suddenly moved forward and took hold of Ariana's shoulder shaking her vigorously. "You need to quit this stupidity, Ariana. What is your problem? What are you feeling like right now? Is it because I brought myself down to your level to make you feel so good? I am trying my best to humble myself for you. I have told you I am sorry. What I did was a mistake. The act you are pulling off right now is just so childish and so silly of you. ""Mr Vincent, you are making a crazy scene here. Everything you are telling me is confusing to me as hell and I don't understand what you are saying. Clara has explained everything to you. Don't you get it? Why are you trying to make a mess of me when I've done nothing wrong to you? What more do you want from me?" Ariana kept on saying as Vincent was struggling within himself to contain himself but his control was slowly slipping away from him with the way she was replying to him.Rose looked confused and worried for her show as she stood before them watching the scene with confusion in her eyes. What is going on? She thought and looked around her. She hadn't expected that this would happen and ruin her show. She had been so happy that she was going to interview the one and only Ariana Swift, the one who was previously her older brother's wife. She never expected that trying to help him get back to her would turn out this way.Why was she acting like she didn't know him? What exactly is going on? Everything was just like a confusing ball wrapped up in her head tumbling in different sections and making her feel almost dizzy.Clara noticed the violent act Vincent was already escalating to so she immediately picked up her phone."Bodyguards. I need you right now in the auditorium for the interview section. A man is trying to take advantage of Miss Ariana." She said loudly and sharply with a commanding tone forcing Vincent to look at her with a stupefaction on his face.Is she joking? His anger then finally grew to the maximum as he obstructed the way." No one is leaving or coming in without my permission!! This is just stupid. I don't think I can take this anymore longer. What the hell is your problem Ariana?" He kept on raving before the bodyguards finally came and before Vincent could shut the door, they barged in roughly and took hold of him pulling him away from Ariana's direction."What is the meaning of this? Who gave you all the audacity to hold me? Do you know who I am?"" We don't care who you are sir but as long as you try to misbehave with Miss Ariana, you are in big trouble. " One of them said as the rest finally surrounded her with Clara leading the way.They escorted Ariana out of the building. "Miss Ariana, are you still going along with this interview?" The leader asked and Ariana stared at him before shaking her head slightly."No. I'm done. I was just heading home. " She said and followed the rest out of the building. Vincent and Rose stared at all of them as they left with amazement on their faces. Vincent looked confused. He glanced back at his sister and looked back at the entrance before biting his lip angrily.Is this some sort of joke or what? He thought to himself. The guards led Ariana and Clara straight to her waiting vehicle."Thank you so much for your help. " Ariana said to them and they saluted her."We are always at your service madam. " Ariana smiled before she stepped into the car. Clara hopped into the driver seat and shut the door after her relaxing to catch her breath.Her bodyguards walked over to their waiting vehicle behind hers and stepped in. "Well, that was intense. " Clara said softly to herself as she glanced at Ariana through the rearview mirror. Ariana didn't reply as she looked beside her adjusting her properties in her bag beside her. Clara could notice the evident fury on her face and it was so obvious she was trying not to bust out before her in the car.Damn, that stupid idiot who had to come along and ruin my friend's mood. She thought to herself as she clenched her fist around the steering wheel."I'm so sorry Ariana. " She said but Ariana waved her off."Don't even talk about it. Just forget this ever happened. I don't want to remember it." She said and she relaxed back in her seat, folding her arms and staring out the window.Clara sighed and looked ahead of her. I can't even believe he would resort to violence. She thought to herself and she gritted her teeth. Nevertheless, she glanced at Ariana through the rearview mirror. Her friend didn't look like she was going to be calming down anytime soon."Do you need me to take you to a bar, you know, where you could just have a drink, unwind, and get rid of all these bad feelings you are feeling?" She asked but Ariana shook her head."No. " She replied as she kept her gaze outside the window. "I think I'm fine. Let's just head towards the nursery so I can pick up my son." She said and Clara bit her lip before nodding her head slowly."Well, that's a great choice." She said and pulled the gear. "As you wish madam. " She started the vehicle and moved away from the auditorium's premises.Related chapters

Rose found herself staring at the empty seats in the broadcasting room which were supposed to be occupied by her and Ariana for the interview as she relaxed against the wall with her arms folded tapping her foot against the ground. Vincent walked closer to her and stared with a worried expression on his face. He sighed deeply and rubbed his temple. " I am so sorry Rose that things had to turn out this way. I am sorry. I didn't know this was what was going to happen. I didn't expect that she would be so stupid enough to act the way she just did. ""Well, you shouldn't have been ridiculous enough to break her heart years ago like you did. Honestly, I am not surprised she's acting like this right now. Any woman in the same condition as she is will do the same or even worse. I do not blame her. " Rose replied sharply and Vincent took a deep breath. He was done being angry and his younger sister was the last person he wanted to be furious with. "I am just sorry okay. ""This is what I get
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 6. DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE
After a long while of driving and swerving through the long express, Clara finally drove into LUXE HAVEN ESTATES, the second largest estate in the city that held the homes and apartments of various millionaires and celebrities. This is currently where Ariana lives and also where her child's educational center is located. They stopped right on time in front of the portico to the large school building just as the bell rang for the closure of the day and Clara grinned. "Right on time sis," she said and Ariana smirked. "I'm glad your high-end speeding skills helped us this time. " Ariana said sarcastically Clara chuckled. "Let's just get out of here and get that pretty boy of yours. " She said before taking off her seat belt and opening the door to the driver seat. Ariana followed suit and also stepped down from the car. The both of them briskly walked into the building and stopped by the receptionist's table where various parents from different high classes and statuses were seated and

Clara immediately sprinted out of the nursery brushing swiftly past the handsome tall fellow who kept watching Ariana's departing figure with disappointment on his face. She bumped into him slightly in the process and briskly apologized to him before sprinting after Ariana. Clara caught up with her and Liam the moment they were a few meters closer to the car. Ariana turned to her immediately she caught up with them. "What took you so long? I was beginning to think you were trying to spend your night in the nursery." She said and Clara scoffed a little bit. "Yeah right yeah right. I was standing back and observing your silliness." She said and that sentence made Ariana flinch a little bit before she slowly turned to look at Clara with wonder on her face. "Jeez. That was a little harsh. What are you talking about?" She asked and Clara looked at her for a little while before signaling towards Liam. "Oh. " Ariana said and immediately let Liam into the car. Liam got in immediately and sh
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 8. PASS ME BY THIS ONCE
Vincent frustratedly returned home with his hair looking ruffled and his clothes sagged. He walked into his apartment and shut the door a little bit loudly as he held his suit in his hands with his tie loose and hung around his shoulder. He stood for a short while and looked around the empty sitting room before shaking his head and stumbling towards one of the seats. He stopped by the largest sofa and dropped his suit against it scanning the house. The first person he was expecting to welcome him hadn't approached him yet and it made him wonder what was going on. He dropped his suitcase next to the sofa and then decided to walk towards the kitchen when a particular sight from the dining room caught his attention. He paused and reversed back the way he came before peeking through the door to notice Fiona sitting by the dinner table enjoying a meal of roasted chicken and salad. He stared at her for a short while with his lips slightly apart and then shut his eyes before taking a deep b
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 9. DO NOT NEED HIS HELP
THE NEXT MORNING. The continuous, persistent ringing and disturbance of her phone by the bedside table greatly interrupted her sleep forcing her to groan continuously as she tried to use the pillow to block her ears but it was all to no avail. When she couldn't take it anymore, she immediately sat up and noticed the darkness around the bedroom. 'This is so early in the morning. who the hell could be called by this time? ' she thought and turned to her phone ringing and vibrating against the bedside table. She made sure Liam was gently arranged in bed without causing any sort of distraction to him before placing her feet on the floor as she sat on the bed. She picked up her phone staring at the name on the caller ID and she rolled her eyes. 'Of course.' She thought. ' who else would it be? She has no sense of pity when it comes to observing one's morning sleep. ' She thought to herself as she immediately picked up the call before yawning softly." Well hello there sister. " Clara beg
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 10. HOW THIS TURNS OUT
It didn't take time for Ariana to get Liam to school at the appointed time he was supposed to be there. The attendant in charge of him was waiting for him right at the receptionist's office. She smiled the moment she saw both of them and got up from her position. "Welcome to a new day at school Liam. How was your night? " She asked politely as Ariana beamed looking down at her son and Liam grinned. "It was great."" Excited for another day of learning?" She inquired and Liam's head moved up and down in response. Ariana smiled and brushed her hands through his hair lovingly. "Make sure you take care of yourself, little man." She said that squatted toward his height and adjusted his uniform softly. He grinned and lifted his index finger." I just have one more request from you, Mom." He said and she raised an eyebrow with wonder. "Spill. What could it be?" She asked and he requested for her to bring her ears closer to him. She did and he shockingly planted a soft childish kiss agains
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 11. HELP WHAT?
Within a short period, Clara got to the amusement park. She swerved the vehicle and joined the rest of the cars arranged in an orderly manner in the parking lot right outside the large compound with a fence that spoke of nothing but luxury and exclusive fun. Above the gates held a very large signboard with the inscription JOY WORLD written on it and Clara's eyes gleamed the moment she saw it. "Oh, my goodness. This is the place you had in mind? Damn, I never knew you were this fun." She said softly and Alex chuckled to himself." I always make sure to pick the best place when it comes to having fun with my daughter. " He said softly and Clara chuckled. "Yeah, I guess you're right. The children need a very good place to relax their minds. I just wish someone is going to learn to live that kind of lifestyle." She said as she peered through the rearview mirror staring at Ariana who was giving her a hard glare. She flinched a little bit and covered her mouth as she giggled. "Let us get
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 12. SHITTING WITH ME?
A long time passed and Alex was still struggling to figure out a response to give Ariana as they both gazed at each other relentlessly. God. She was making this difficult for him. She wasn't flinching. Her eyes weren't blinking. The boldness she was exuding from her sweet beautiful frame had thrown him Into a state of confusion. He couldn't even remember what her question was for a few minutes. But he later recollected and chuckled before raking his fingers through his hair. "It's nothing much actually. I just think you're so beautiful." 'Too beautiful that you could kill a man with your eyes.' He thought. she looked at him as a soft smile explored her lips and he heaved a heavy side of relief. 'Oh my God. I can't believe I thought a little compliment would make her angry. ' She chuckled and looked away from him." Thanks. I get that quite a lot." She said with a soft expression and he nodded his head." You know you do not have to be so uptight with me." He said and she blinked be

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 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

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.
