THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRIET: A LOVE BETRAYED Chapter 28
“That was my exact reaction when I saw it.” Camelia replied, sipping water from the cup.“And you are sure that it was addressed to Richard.”“I'm positive.”Gary remained quiet for some minutes, pondering over it. “You know what, let me conduct some research, I will get back to you.”She nodded, “Noted. I also have to conduct my rounds.”“Hmm… we'd meet at home.”“Alright.” Camelia was about to cut the call when his voice came through again.“Camelia…” He began, “I’m sorry about last night.”“I know, you meant well.” She had nothing to hold against him, it was his first time and he meant no harm. To be honest, she could now see from his angle. She hadn’t even begun her investigation properly and she was already involved in a mess.This case had to be approached with caution.“One more thing.” He continued and she grunted. Couldn't he say it all at once.’“Can Angel come over to the hospital today?” He asked with an extremely gentle and cautious tone.“Why? Is there something wrong?”

“Mummy!” Angel's voice rang out, pure and high as she ran towards Camelia with her short and steady legs. “Angel? Why are you here?” Camelia asked quietly and her heart skipped. As she ran towards her, Camelia noticed she was out of the dress she had worn and rather had a sweater on. ‘What could have happened?’ She was extremely worried. Camelia knelt instinctively, her arms wide. Angel launched herself forward, and the two met with a force that nearly knocked Camelia back."Oh, baby," Camelia breathed into her daughter’s hair, her voice trembling. She clung to her, tears threatening to fall despite the smile on her lips. All her worry melted in that moment as they embraced each other. She never knew she needed a hug until that moment and she tried to take all her daughter's fragrance in.Camelia and Angel continued embracing themselves while Gary approached at a steady pace, his presence calm but a little overbearing but Camelia didn’t notice it.“Thank you,” she mouthed as she l

“This is Camelia's daughter,” Francis whispered to himself. The resemblance was so glaring that he figured it out immediately. “How is she so big?” He murmured, his eyes now running down the girl from head to toe. She almost seemed to be the same age as his son, Joe. His mind started to spiral at the moment; Was Camelia pregnant at the point of the divorce or did she cheat on him by getting pregnant for another?He moved closer to Angel and raised his hand to remove the hair on her face. Just as his hand touched her, the door opened and Camelia appeared at the door.“What are you doing to my daughter? Get your filthy hand off her!” She stormed towards them and pushed him aside.“I… I mistakenly entered this room.” Francis cleared his throat and tried to explain.“I see, you may leave now.” Camelia had now appeared beside her daughter, she paid no attention to him and focused on moving Angel to a more comfortable position.“Why are you still here?” She turned back to see him still st

“Be like who?” Hillary’s blood went hot. “Camelia? You must be kidding, right?” She scoffed, rising from her to the window side.Francis looked speechless, he knew he had crossed a wildfire."I cannot believe you just said that," Hillary spat, her voice low but sharp enough to cut glass. Her eyes glinted, not with tears, but with fury, a wildfire barely contained.Francis opened his mouth to explain, “I… I didn’t…” He stuttered but she raised her hand, silencing him. "Don’t. Don’t you dare try to explain." She turned to face him, leaning her back on the wall. "Comparing me to Camelia? Of all people, Francis. After everything. How dare you?"His face flushed, a mixture of regret and stubborn pride, but he remained silent."You know what? If you miss her so much," Hillary hissed, her voice trembling now, "maybe you should call her. Or better yet, go back to that life you clearly haven’t let go of."“Go on, she is just a door away. You can do that.” She directed towards the door.“I did

“Yes!” Camelia screamed aloud again as she stared at the papers with her. Her eyes remained glued to the paper, a bright smile on her face.Finally, she got what she had always wanted! “Francis needs to hear this,” she said to herself as she got into the car, unable to control the tears that were streaming down her eyes. Five years of being called barren by her mother-in-law and watching the hurt in Francis' eyes had been unbearable. But now she had a life in her and she couldn't wait to break the news to him.Camelia stepped hard on the accelerator, eager to get home, but she recalled the words of the doctor: to take things easy.She took a deep breath to calm herself and made her way slowly to her house.“Francis! Francis!!” She called aloud; immediately, she alighted from the car. “Is he home?” She asked the butler who came out from the door.She couldn’t tell if he was home since his cars were still parked in the open garage just as it was when she left it.The butler shook his

“I forgive you, Francis.” Camelia stared calmly at him as she spoke. He was just joking; he didn’t mean the divorce statement.She had decided that it was her fault he had decided to cheat since she couldn’t give him a child. But that was all in the past, a new life was growing in her.“I don't want this to come in between us,” she rose and moved towards him, her eyes filled with hope and a half-hearted smile. “I accept that you made a mistake with Hillary and it's fine. Let's now focus on…”“No, Camelia. I can’t do that.” Francis snatched his hands away from her and took some steps backwards. “I'm fed up with this marriage, I said I want out.” “No!” She cried, her voice shook with hysterics, and she could feel a splitting headache coming; her vision became blurred by tears whelming in her eyes. “You want out with what Francis?” She screamed when he ignored her question. Her hand was tightened in a fist beside her and her breathing became heavy.“I'm tired of living with a barren an

“I don’t understand you,” Camelia said under her breath, shaking her head dramatically.She was confused, and at the brink of going crazy; that was if she hadn’t already gone crazy.She believed deeply that any more drama or silly plot twists and she would be sent to an abyss of mental breakdown.“You should, considering you gave the diagnosis and prescriptions for the drugs that made one of your patient’s illnesses worse. Don’t play the good cop, that ship sailed. We would appreciate you not speaking anymore Mrs Noah,” the cop said as Raphael cuffed her sleeve and pushed her into the ready car.Camelia laughed; she had spent most of her 20s studying to be a physician. And not only had she graduated summa cum Laude, but she had also gotten awards of recognition in under two years of her practising. This was impossible! She knew it but didn’t just understand where the sudden claim was coming from. “Call my husband! If we eventually figure out this was a mistake, you and all the rest

The words of the cop echoed into her ears and she kept hearing his statement repeatedly in her head.‘Was this truly the end of her? Had Francis truly left her here to rot.’ This was the question she asked herself over and over as she stared at the mind in silence.She knew she had been framed, even the woman had come to thank her after the treatment. So, where had it all gone wrong?A part of her told her the man was right, after all, he had outrightly thrown divorce papers at her when he had been caught cheating.“My husband will come to bail me,” she stated again, her gaze unyielding and determined. The cop chuckled, he shrugged and walked out of the cell, leaving Camelia alone in the dark, chilly cell.Her knees trembled and gave way when she was left alone. She wrapped her arms around her frail body in the cold, mentally exhausted from crying and all she could do was wait.‘Would Francis come to save her?’‘‘Ah!’’ She shrieked in pain, feeling a sharp cut in her stomach. She fea

From her tight corner in the cabinet, Camelia remained absolutely still, her heartbeat thundering against her chest. She watched Philips as he leaned back in his chair with fingers stroking his chin gently together as his sharp eyes scanned the room again. She prayed silently that he won'tbe let to look around his office to the cabinet.Damn, Camelia! You may not be lucky this time.But, he sighed and checked his watch instead.“Damn, it's time for board meeting,” he muttered under his breath and grabbed a slim black folder from the edge of his desk, tucking it under his arm. He gave the room one last suspicious glance before heading out the door.As the sound of his footsteps faded down the hall and the door clicked shut behind him, Camelia remained frozen in place for another thirty seconds. Then she carefully stepped out from the cabinet, massing her arms as they ached from the cramped position.She walked back quietly to the desk, her hand still holding on to the document with

Camelia pushed the door open and quietly walked into the office. The soft click of the latch sounded much louder in the stillness of the office. She shut the door behind her and paused. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and subtle notes of leather-bound books filled the air.As expected from Philips, the office was meticulously arranged, she noticed.“Let's see what you have to hide, Philips.” She said, still looking around.The metal cabinet near the far wall stood tall and cold, each drawer perfectly labeled. The books were lined in the shelves, neatly dusted and sorted alphabetically. The desk was pristine just like an executive’s desk.Camelia continued to stand in the room, her eyes scanning everything. She was searching and analyzing, but feeling momentarily at a loss. Where should she begin? What was she even looking for exactly? A confession? A clue? A name?Her fingers itched with urgency, and the silence seemed to grow heavier around her. She couldn’t stay long here.The d

“I really needed this!” She exclaimed after finishing her cup of coffee on a go.Camelia stood at the rooftop of the hospital, her arms folded tightly across her chest with her fingers clenched to physically hold herself together. She had indeed vowed to never step foot on the rooftop again but given the situation, she needed it. There was nowhere she could go to for now to avoid the piercing gazes of people.The breeze tugged at the edges of her coat, but she barely noticed. It was chilly and soothing at the same time. Her eyes were locked on the buzzing entrance but she stared at it blankly as though she was seeing nothing at all. Her phone rang continuously in her coat pocket but she refused to pick it up. It was either Gary, the policeman or her friend, Taylor. Whichever one it was, she was in the mood to talk.Her mind was somewhere else entirely, scattered among regrets, confusion, and a gnawing sense of failure. She seemed and appeared strong, particularly when Hillary and F

Camelia stirred awake to the faint buzz of her phone on the nightstand. She gently turned from her sleep, still tangled in the sheets, she reached over, blinking at the harsh light of the screen when her heart dropped.‘Renowned Neurosurgeon Dr. Richard Found Dead in His Office’She sat up instantly, staring at the headline in disbelief. Her breath caught in her throat. “No... that’s impossible. I just saw him yesterday.” She scrolled through the article.The article was brief, only stating that he was discovered early this morning by a nurse. No cause of death had been released yet.Her fingers trembled as she continued scrolling, rereading the short article. It all felt surreal. Dr. Richard had been alive and well just the day before, he was calm, professional and even kind… well she had to lie though before he handed her the name she so desperately needed. That piece of paper, folded carefully and hidden in a safe place that now felt like it weighed a hundred pounds.A wave of

late afternoon sun bounced off the hospital’s glass panels, casting sharp reflections into the city streets. From the backseat of a dark-tinted car parked across the road, Cornelius watched in silence, his eyes fixed on the building’s entrance.And then she appeared.Camelia!She stepped out slowly, her movements hesitant, almost dazed. Clutched tightly against her chest was a folder, white, clinical and heavy with answers. Her expression flickered between excitement and shock, like someone who had stumbled into the truth but hadn’t yet made sense of it. Her brows were drawn with her lips parted; her eyes darted about like she had seen something she ought not to.Cornelius leaned forward, his fingers tightening slightly on the steering wheel. Even after all this time, she captivated him. The way her hair caught the sunlight, the way she moved with quiet urgency, it hadn’t changed. He studied her, soaking in every detail.She didn't notice him. The car windows were dark, near-impenet
