THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 40
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

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

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

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 “Where’s the groom?” “It's running late; we can't spend the whole day here without anything happening.” The people in the crowd murmured and complained, with heavy frowns on their faces. “Will the wedding still hold, or have I been dumped?” That was the only thought going through my head as I stood on the altar. Whispers were flying around, adding to the discomfort I already felt. I knew what was going through the minds of the guests seated in the beautiful Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Rome. It's amazing that I had the presence of mind to observe the structure and interior of the church in such a situation. If not for the presence of so many people, I would have wanted to give myself a round of applause. At least I proved that people can still spare their energy for other things in extremely stressful situations. So... why is my fiancé not returning messages or showing up? The head officiating minister walked towards me. “We are running really late, Judith; I'd h

I struggled to open my eyes to an unfamiliar environment. It was the hospital. The smell of disinfectant in the air is a bit pungent, but it's reassuring at the moment, as I felt a breath of fresh air, although I was still extremely weak. I scanned the room and found my mom back, turned at me, staring at an empty space. Weakly, I called “Mom.” “My baby," she said as she walked towards me, sitting beside me. She placed her palm on my forehead for some seconds, trying to deduce my body temperature, before finally nodding in satisfaction. Tears welled up in her eyes as she took her palms off my forehead, took my hands in hers, and kissed them. I looked at my mom's face and realized that I didn't know when she had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes before. She had a few gray hairs in her hair and dark circles underneath her eyes, indicating that she hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. Thinking of those times I let mom worry about me, I'm all grown up, and I still ca

Mother had suggested that I spend a few more days in the hospital so I would be able to recuperate and possibly stay away from any judgmental and pitiful looks I might likely attract in the neighborhood. My neighborhood isn’t a really pleasant one, and I’m sure I’ll be the topic of gossip for some months. While at the hospital, I managed to relax and feel a little better. I didn’t forget my ordeal, but I was able to accept that Felix and I weren’t meant to be after all. “Now, I just have to get better and move on with my life,” I thought, gazing out the window at the scene of a newly born baby and his family taking a picture with some nurses in the garden. The mother of the child seemed really excited because her face was lit up with a contagious smile. “I hope to have a baby, somebody,” I said with a dry smile as I made my way out of the room to go look for my mother. She had initially told me she was going to see the doctor earlier, and her absence was longer than expected. Even

Judith’s POV Eight months later, I was wheeled into the operating room. Yes, I decided to keep the baby. When I told my mother and the doctor that I had overheard their secret conversation about the pregnancy, their shock was palpable. They were at a loss for words, clearly stunned that I had found out. My mother tried to change my mind and justify her decision, but I was already resolute and unwavering. During the prenatal period, I struggled with conflicting thoughts in my head. On one side, the scene of that night replayed, and on the other side, it flashed back to her mother's slightly hunched yet determined figure sitting alone on a garden bench; the sound of her own agonized despair and reverent confessions intertwined with the echoes of that night. As the operating lights came on, I closed her eyes and made a life-changing decision. A few years later... “Mommy!!!” The twins ran up to me in the school parking lot. “How was school today?” I scooped both of them into my ar

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
