THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 80. GHOST OF THE ABYSS
VINCENT'S POVI walked back to the table, and for a short while, she didn't retaliate or create any sort of reaction. My goodness, I was so grateful for that. I began to move the papers, but my peace and quiet didn't last for long. Within the blink of an eye, I noticed that she was standing right beside me, and this forced me to drop my pen against the table with frustration. "Oh my God. What can a man do to just have some peace and quiet, even if it's just for 2 minutes?" I muttered to myself as I looked at the table completely worked up, not knowing what else to do."I'm not going to bother you anymore; I just want an answer from you," she said, and I shut my eyes before taking a deep breath. I then tilted my head to look at her. "And what is it?" I asked, and she bit her lip, seeming as though she was thinking of how to answer the question. "Are you perhaps drifting from me a little bit?" she asked, and I raised my eyebrows, a shocked expression on my face. I thought for a while,

VINCENT'S POV I took a breath into myself before looking up at her. "Yeah, well, you should know the reason why," I replied, and then her eyes widened with realization. "Oh," she said slowly, nodding her head softly. "I see. Looks like this is already becoming rampant these days," she said, and I shrugged. "So I guess you are here to sort out the rest of your work?" she asked, and I nodded my head softly before turning to look at her sitting room. "Yep. And I hope you are alone this time," I said, and she chuckled softly. She waved her hands at me as she walked past me into the city room. "Oh, about that, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to that. I am a million percent alone. William is not here today. He had to meet up with his younger sister and escort her to her ballet dance. It has been pretty lonely, but I guess I could make do with your presence. It's not every day you get to have the chance to see me once in a while. You only call me whenever you have work to d
Last Updated : 2024-03-22THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 82. I WANT YOU
VINCENT'S POV"So you just barged in?"I sighed and shut my eyes. "You see? Do you see that? That's right there is red flag number one. The fact that you couldn't even at least plead and beg and act softly towards her to see her reaction. You just barged in without even waiting for her to answer. How the hell do you expect her to have any single amount of sympathy for you?" she asked, and then I bit my lip as I looked at her with squinted eyelids. "But there was no way she was going to answer me." "And how do you know that? You are not in her mind," she replied, and I ground my teeth together as I kept staring at her. "You don't know that. The hatred I felt coming from her, can make her do anything. There was no way she was going to allow me in. I just know this," she chuckled softly and then smiled before looking back over at me. "I am a woman, Vincent. And I understand the woman's feelings. All I can tell you right now is that if I were the one in her shoes, I would be mad at y

ALEX'S POV I am a little bit confused at this present moment. I muttered to myself. I feel like I am going and turning into the most crazy man on earth. I don't even know what to do right now or what else to think. I'm just... my goodness, I don't even know what I am becoming. Just what the hell is wrong with me? Why am I beginning to act like a crazy man all of a sudden? I know that at this present moment early this morning I am supposed to have taken my daughter Emily to school but I don't even know what went wrong with me.I found myself with my car parked right in front of the gate of Ariana's estate staring at it with a lot of thoughts running through my mind. Extreme confusion was rocking through my since as I kept looking ahead of me gripping tight against the steering wheel. Emily, on the other hand, was looking around her with confusion since she couldn't recognize where she was. 'Dad?' she called, and I sighed before shutting my eyes and clenching harder against the steeri

ALEX'S POV"I felt like I should run into a rabbit hole. The embarrassment was just too much for me to contain. But what was I to do? I have never felt so awkward in my life before," I thought. "It would be a very huge shame if she figures out that I am stalking her and I have discovered that she lived here." I smiled awkwardly and continued to stare at them. 'So you live here?' I asked. The look Ariana gave me made me want to stop my chest. She chuckled softly and nodded her head slowly. 'Yes, I do. Aren't you supposed to have taken Emily to school?' She asked, and then I chuckled before shaking my head. 'Oh, that's... There's absolutely nothing to worry about. I noticed this place yesterday and didn't have time to check it out, so I decided to come very early this morning to check it before taking her to school, you know. It's a very nice place, and I'm impressed you guys live here. That's great, isn't it?' I said, and they both nodded their heads in unison with forced smiles on
Last Updated : 2024-03-24THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 85. IT'S TIME I GIVE HIM THAT TALK
ARIANA'S POV"He might be telling the truth." "Really? And you still believe he wasn't lying?" she asked and scoffed."Yes. I believe that. Anything could happen. Maybe the gates of the exit attracted him and he felt the need to check it out, okay.""Look, just stop acting dumb Ariana. Stop trying to run away from what is going to happen. He must have been stalking you and he discovered that you live here. I am sure it's because he can't get a pass in. If he actually could, you would probably see him right in front of your doorstep. I can assure you that," she said and I rolled my eyes."I pray it doesn't happen," I replied, and then she chuckled in her position."Why are you being this hard, Ariana? Just let this guy in, just this once."I swerved my head around and looked at her. "It is not your decision to make, Clara, okay? Just leave me be. My mind is made up about the entire schemey situation called relationship. I don't want anything to do with no man, okay? I just want to be
Last Updated : 2024-03-25THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 86. PUSH THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AWAY
ARIANA'S POV“Maybe it's time I give him a good talk,” I thought to myself and sighed as I gazed down at Liam who was staring at me still looking sleepy-eyed as hell. I chuckled and held his shoulders. “We will talk later, Mr. Alex,” I said and led him into the school building. I could feel Alex's eyes boring into my back as we made our way in, with Clara following closely behind. I slowly turned around to look at her, and the look she gave me made me swipe my head back to the front. “Nah, not now. I am not ready to deal with her teasing stares,” I thought to myself and rolled my eyes. She got to me and tapped my shoulder."So you are gonna talk to him aren't you?" She asked and I chuckled and shoved her hand away. “Quit it, Clara,” I said softly, and she chuckled. “Okay, okay. I won't bother you, girly. As long as you are going to talk to him, I am okay with that,” she said, and I rolled my eyes once again. “Whatever,” I said softly, and she smirked. I glared at her and decided
Last Updated : 2024-03-26THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 87. CONFUSION ROCKING MY SENSES
ARIANA'S POVI looked at him for a very long while, frustration evident, and then chuckled before shaking my head. "You know what? I'm not going to just think about it anymore. I'm just going to go straight to the point. I want you to act as my fiancé. I don't want you to be my fiancé. Do you get that?" I asked, and he folded his arms and placed his pointer finger against his chin, staring at the sky as though trying to understand what I just said. After a long while, he looked back at me and shook his head. "Nah, I don't," he said, and then I glared at him. He laughed softly and then shook his head. Then he walked closer and closer towards me, making me step back till I got trapped against a wall. I looked up at him and suddenly placed my palm against his chest when I noticed how close he was getting to me. "Oh my God. The fact that he's just so tall and huge and so manly was making me tremble in my bones," I thought to myself. I chuckled nervously and tried to shove him away play

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.

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
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

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.
