THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 18
Judith’s POV It’s been a gruelling month of working with Nathan, and I must confess that the demands of the work have been nothing short of exhausting. The responsibilities range from fixing meetings, conferences, and appointments to meticulously responding and sending emails. I doubted my ability to survive. But surprisingly, I have gradually mastered the role and adapted with each passing day. After the week, we had an impulsive kiss. I have made every effort not to be emotionally entangled with him. I tried to keep it strictly professional. I don't have a problem with the kiss itself; it is how he distanced himself from me afterward, like I were some sort of contagion, leaving me in an awkward situation. Love shouldn't be a priority for me. My children demand my attention; they should be the ones getting all my love and attention, but anytime I'm around him, my heart seems to beat faster, just like it once did with Felix, conveying some unknown feelings. Oh, Felix, I hope he's f
THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 19
Nathan’s POV "Did I just confess my love for her?" The thought resonated through my mind, a realisation that had slowly dawned on me since the kiss. Since then, thoughts about her and the kids have occupied my mind more often. She seems to appear in my dreams at times and comfort me during my darkest moments. I understand perfectly that pursuing a relationship with her now might not be the best decision to make, yet the notion of delaying further feels like hell and deepens my misery. And the children—I long to be around them. The only promising way to do so is by being with her. "I love you, Judith," I repeated softly, gazing at her affectionately. She looked at me speechless, with shock clearly engraved on her face. "Erm, erm, Mr. Nathan," she stammered, then stopped talking before she composed herself. Mr. Nathan, I don't think so. Just because we kissed doesn't mean we are in love. That was just a fleeting moment of lust." "Judith, this isn't lust." I countered, gently cares

Judith’s POV Judith’s POV The fact that I am deeply and irrevocably in love with Nathan can't be disputed anymore. My love for him is undeniable, and ever since he confessed his feelings, I have been pondering whether to give our relationship a chance. His affection extends not only to me but also to my children, as he keeps showering them with gifts. That's precisely the kind of man I desire—a man who will cherish my kids just as much as he cherishes me. It has been three weeks of dating Nathan, and our relationship has gone through some challenges, especially as the rumour about us has already spread like wildfire throughout the hospital, making me the centre of gossip amongst the employees. Few approved the relationship, saying I was lucky to be dating a perfect billionaire, who is every woman’s dream. While many others tagged me a gold digger and a seductress, accusing me of seducing and cornering him for my gain,. But their approval or disdain no longer holds any importanc

I stood frozen, as though I had just encountered a ghost. The man before me was no other person than Felix, the one I once loved and almost married—the same one who abandoned me on the altar three years ago. And now, here he was, standing before me, smiling broadly as if nothing had transpired between us."Mommy, who is there?" Olivia asked as she ran towards me.Still speechless, I involuntarily pulled her close, while Oliver joined us a moment later."Mommy, who is this?" Oliver asked, his eyes staring into mine, expecting a response.“It’s... it's a friend of mine," I struggled to say, stammering. My voice betrayed my uneasiness."How are you, kids?" he said, waving and smiling at them."Fine," they chorused. "What are you doing here?" I demanded steely, as I managed to maintain my composure."Judith, can I at least come in?" He asked softly, still smiling, and I was already getting infuriated. I don't seem to understand what the smile was all about."Come in," I said, and I move

"How dare you try to jeopardise the business deal I've been pursuing tirelessly for months?" John shouted furiously the moment I entered the office. "John, I'm not trying to sabotage the deal. I'm simply not funding it," I responded calmly, while unbuttoning my suit. "I you have the resources, then you can do the business.".“You seem to forget I'm also an Everton; I shouldn't be begging for business funds like this," he retorted, slamming the table with his fist."Don't you dare try to create a nuisance in my office. I'm not going to tolerate your presence and your shady business deals anymore," I snapped back, my patience wearing out gradually."You are an Everton, and you should start behaving like one. All Evertons are smart and resourceful. If you present a better business proposal, then I will support you and give you all the funds you need," I said with a note of finality, settling into my chair."You are going to regret this, Nathan. I'm going to pay you back in ten folds
THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 23
Recently, following Nathan's discussion of marriage, I found my thoughts instinctively preoccupied with the events of the past.**Four years ago**In the luxurious and beautifully furnished living room, Felix and I were entangled in each other's arms, his hands delicately fondling my breasts, and fully engrossed in a movie. Our beautiful moment was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Davy, Felix's gateman.He requested an audience with Felix, to which Felix obliged and reluctantly disentangled from the embrace and walked towards the door with the intention of attending to him by the door since I was just in diaphanous lingerie."Who is it?" Felix enquired, his voice resonating with calm authority.It's me, "Davy."However, upon unlocking the door, we were met with an unexpected and horrific sight. Davy wasn't alone. The situation went sour when five masked men, reeking of alcohol and cigarettes, stormed in. Davy was knocked unconscious by a heavy blow on the head, his body coll
THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 24
Judith's POVI am not entirely convinced that agreeing to marry Nathan is the best course of action. Although I am uncertain about my own desires, I'm definitely reluctant about entering into marriage. Marriage is no child's play, as it is a serious commitment that requires considerable effort and dedication, qualities that I'm not sure I possess.I shared the development with my mother and Vanessa, and they were both delighted to hear about it.“I’m so happy for you, Judith. I'm glad to see you are finally moving forward," mom said excitedly. “You have my blessings, my dear," she added before ending the call.“Oh! My girl is about to become a wife!" Vanessa exclaimed. "When is the wedding date?" She asked with a sense of urgency.“Calm down, Van; he hasn't even proposed yet; he just wants to know my opinion about it. To know if I'm open to it," I replied.“And what is your opinion, girl?” She asked, her tone now composed.“I don't know, Van. Honestly, I'm unsure of what I truly want,
THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 25
Nathan's POV "Are you certain that you really love this woman?” Father enquired as we retreated into his study."Yes, father, I am deeply in love with her,” I answered affirmatively.“I’m not going to object to it. I understand that there's a huge difference in class, but since you are so resolute and genuine in your affection towards her, I'm going to support it," he declared.“Thanks so much, father. "I thanked him. “I hope you will be able to protect and love her better than I did for your mother,” he said, his expression sorrowful. “Your mother went through a lot with my family. She was humiliated, but despite all that, she stood by me still. When I was told she eloped with another man, I should have tried to look for her and ascertain the truth," he lamented with regret.“I was a fool. I didn't trust my woman enough. I wish I could turn back the hands of time; I would have made a better choice. She wouldn't have died just like that,” he said, and he adjusted his glasses. ”I hop

Judith's POVThe astonishment on his face as I kissed him was unparalled. He, along with everyone else in the office, were left speechless. As my eyes drifted to where Felix was seated, I could see anger deposited on his face."Who are you?" The chief asked, his tone laced with curiosity."Oh, apologies, sir. I'm Judith Summers, Nathan's fiancé, and the supposed victim of the alleged assault."Oh, Mrs. Summers. I was under the impression, according to Mr. Felix's statements, that you were out of town, hence the reason we did not summon you for questioning," he said, directing a scrutinising glare at Felix. By this time, Felix's expression exhibited utter disappointment."Oh, I found it peculiar that I wasn't called in. The fact that he told you I was out of town should tell you that he's a despicable liar," I spat, wondering how I managed to keep my act together."I wanted to wait for your return, but these were serious allegations that necessitated urgent attention. That was why I c

Judith's POV Immediately, I called Nathan, and he came running over and arrived even before I knew it. It was so comforting to have him around. I could feel the sympathy and regret in his voice and eyes as he occasionally shot glares at me.Throughout his stay, my heart kept racing. I could feel his heart beat too, especially when I cried on his shoulders. I kept wondering why the universe is so unfair to us. We both loved each other, but we can't be together.The solution Nathan had come up with wasn't exactly a good one, and I couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenario that would emerge from this whole situation. This could end him and everything he had worked hard for.The choice he made was a hard one, but he did it anyway. He did it to protect us and take responsibility for his past actions. I felt pity for him and wished there was another way out of this problem.Convincing him to look for a better solution seemed futile as he became resolute, explaining that he didn't w
THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 41
Nathan's POV Despite all the humiliation I had felt from the broken engagement, I was able to swallow it all, and only the thoughts of Judith's forgiveness filled my mind. I stopped calling or visiting her, not because I had moved on but because I wanted her to heal. Constantly seeing me might hurt her further.The last thing I had ever expected from her was for her to get back with me. Everything I had done to her was enough to make her miserable for a lifetime. I just wanted her forgiveness, and that's all.Lately, my life has been a rollercoaster of bad news. Judith's casting me aside has affected my whole being. I couldn't function and focus properly on work. It had gotten so bad that I even lost a business deal because I kept discussing it absentmindedly while the meeting was ongoing. The investor got angry and cancelled the whole project.Father had gotten so angry at me over the phone when he heard that I had lost a project worth millions of euros. He yelled, telling me to mov

Felix's POVThe bombshell I dropped cast an eerie pall over the environment. She stared at me with a mixture of confusion and hatred. However, my mind was resolute, and I felt no remorse for my actions. Her behaviour had driven me to the point where I forgot everything we had shared in the past.Despite my efforts to be considerate and avoid making things difficult for her, she seemed determined to shut me out of her life completely."What did you mean, Felix?" she asked, her voice barely masking the pain."You have to marry me, or the world will know how your kids came into existence. They will know they are a product of assault," I declared harshly.She was speechless for a while, taking a deep breath to calm herself. Overwhelmed and anxious, she stood up from the couch, paced around the living room, then sat down again.I could feel her uneasiness as she asked, "And how do you intend to do that? Felix, you're making my blood boil. I just want you out of my sight.""You must think I
THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 39
Judith's POV Constantly consumed by an unexplainable feeling of dread. I became more sensitive than ever. For no tangible reason, I kept feeling insecure and sometimes trembling like a fragile leaf. I grew suspicious of everything and everyone, especially strangers. It was alarming at the rate my heart raced, and I kept praying I wouldn't succumb to a heart attack.An unknown feeling lingered within me, telling me that Felix hasn't given up yet. He is so blinded by rage that he won't stop until he gets what he desires.Despite the hurtful things Nathan has done, I never cease to love him. The feeling has extended so much that I miss him badly and also dream about him occasionally. The thoughts of him lingered in my head, day or night.Downcast and unsure of what to do to make the thoughts go away, I vowed never to get back with him, no matter how much or how long the feeling lingered.I ran my hands through my hair and walked outside to the balcony, hoping to enjoy the sun that shone
THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 38
Felix's POVTruthfully, John's plan doesn't seem like the wisest course of action. I would have opted for a better and safer option on how to make her bend to my will, but deep down inside me, I knew it was the only card I had left to play in order to reclaim her affections.The desperation I'm feeling isn't something to be proud of; it is highly disgraceful. I know fully well that I have become too desperate or probably obsessed with her, but at this point, I no longer mind. We compliment each other perfectly, yet it seems she is blind to see that.Perhaps, against my better judgement, I have to agree with John's suggestion. Since the woman I'm trying to be considerate of isn't reciprocating the same feeling to me, she isn't interested in me; despite the fact that she knew I wasn't to blame for the wedding that crashed, I still didn't pique her interest, and that saddened me a lot.Still devastated, I recalled all the affectionate words and stares she gave Nathan the other day; they
THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 37
Judith POVI find myself utterly bewildered by Felix. He looks totally different from what I had presumed him to be. The man whom I loved in the past was a better man who had good morals and virtue. It amazes me to the point that I felt like his soul was switched, and he has now been replaced with that of a spiteful entity.I'm shocked at how I never sensed the shift in his demeanour in the past. Perhaps he was pretending then and now to be his true self because he kept saying and doing hurtful things without feeling any form of remorse."Thank goodness, we didn't get married. I would have been married to the devil, unaware and headed to peril, I murmured as I tucked the kids to sleep.As I gazed upon the kids tear-streaked faces, a wave of pity washed over me. Their small, tender hearts had been burdened by the events of the evening. They keep getting more mature every day, and now they are even protective of me. I will eternally be grateful for the gift of them. I'm really lucky to

I'm still struggling to understand how Judith can still be so naive and foolish. I had anticipated that she would demand his arrest and let him rot in prison, but instead she's still very much in love with him. It still baffles me that she cannot sever her ties with him completely. I need to act fast and exploit this situation wisely to my advantage; otherwise, all of my efforts would be futile.I'm so frustrated at the moment. I feel like a loser who can't seem to get anything right. I don't regret addressing her in such a rash manner. She should feel the same pains I'm going through."Hi, can we meet at the Essence Palace Club House?" I said this over the phone to John while parked at the clubhouse."Alright, I will meet you there in a while," he replied and hung up.I headed inside the clubhouse. The inside of the club house is furnished with neon lights that cast vibrant colours into the room. The air is filled with a mixture of perfumes, colognes, and a thick hint of smoke.In a

Felix's POV I have been visiting Judith regularly in an attempt to console her and rekindle our love, but all my efforts proved futile. It was as if she was resolutely unwilling to give me a second chance at all. I recognised that she was still grieving, so I decided to give her the time she needed to heal before approaching her with the possibility of rekindling our love."I'm not giving up because I'm sure we are fated to be. It's only a matter of time before she realises I'm the only man for her," I muttered with a determined smile as I navigated through the heavy traffic.However, my determination wavered as soon as I parked in front of Judith's house. I saw Nathan emerging from her front door, which sent a wave of fury crashing on me. He was tall and handsome; he appeared gaunt and a shadow of his former self—haggard and unkempt."Why would she still allow him into her home after everything he has done to her? I questioned him as I got out of the car and walked towards him. He g
