The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back Tricked
NOVA I stood on my front porch for a long time before I decided he wasn't returning. I must have imagined that determined look on his face, and those words he uttered. Dashiell would never say those words. I know how much Lilith meant to him. She was his first love and the reason he despised me those years ago. He felt I was robbing him of the opportunity to wed the woman he loved, which was why he never liked me. “Mummy? Why are you standing here? Where's Mr Dashiell?” River's question interrupted my thoughts, stepping out of the house with Willow in tow. "Um—" “Mum, is it true he looks like me?” Willow demanded, her voice low as she stared up at me, blinking. My heart skipped at the question. I couldn't think of the right response to give to that, so I just nodded, hoping they wouldn't pursue the matter any further, but they did. “Really? I thought I looked like you! Uncle Brion said I did.” “Yeah, you do.” I squatted in front of her, smiling as I reached out to pat her ha
The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back Defending Nova
DASHIELL When I returned to the house, there was no one there. I knocked on the door for a long time until their neighbour told me she saw them leaving a few minutes ago. It seemed I was late. I didn't take off immediately. I sat on their front porch, waiting, hoping they would return on time, but that wasn't the case. I stayed until it got late before I left. I couldn't call her because the number I saw in her file was linked to her office. She didn't leave any personal number, probably because of me. She must have known I would look for it, which was why she didn't put it. Lilith called me on my way home, but I ignored the call. There was nothing to talk about. Not at the moment. She was calling because of the breakup, and I wasn't in the right mind to speak to her. I will just let matters die down a little before I visit her. I still owe that to her. Having wasted five years of her life, the least I could do was to talk things out with her, to let her know the reasons for my d
The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back Love isn't for you
“You are talking back to your mum because of her?” She wasn't ready to let things slide. “Do you know who you are talking to?”I could feel the headache coming. Rubbing my temple, I choose my words carefully. I had no desire to argue with her, it just wasn't in any plan of mine. “I had a long day in the office today. If you don't mind, I'm going to rest.” I got up from the armchair and turned my back to her, praying she wouldn't say anything else. I just wasn't in the mood to quibble with her. Had I ever been? Conversations with my mum always took a toll on me. Which was why I wanted to escape as fast as I could, to prevent the argument from escalating. “What of Lilith?” I stopped in my steps at her question. I didn't expect to see one from my mum, at least not about Lilith. “We broke up,” I announced. Lying didn't seem like the right step to take. She would get to hear it sooner or later. Letting her know of it sooner was the right thing to do. “You split????” Her voice ec
The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back Birds of the same feather
LILITHDid he think he would get rid of me easily? That was the greatest joke of the century. I was here to stay. Giving up on him wasn't in the agreement. I spent my youth on him. For 9 years, I clung to him without letting go, only to be tossed to the side because of a fucking stand-in? I knew Dashiell only slept with her that night because of her hair. Had she not been blonde, he wouldn't have done that. To have a stand-in take over the real person's relationship was unheard of, something I wouldn't condone. I will make Nova regret the day she met Dashiell. I didn't succeed in killing her off as I planned five years ago. The abortion was just a cover-up. I had already paid those men to get rid of her. My plans were solid, with no loophole, but that brat spoiled it. She was lucky enough to escape, and I hoped, for my sake, that she would stay hidden, but she didn't. Returning to Paris was the mistake she made. She would have been better off hiding. Now, I will stop at nothing t
The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back A visit to the kindergarten
DASHIELLWith my hands in the pocket of the black slacks I threw on, I stared at the school, wondering what I was supposed to do. I didn't think things through when I visited the school. I even thought it would be like a walk in the park, with my legs taking me down the path with no destination in mind, but it wasn't so. Standing in front of the school humbled me. I could only stare at the structure, with no idea of what I was supposed to do. I needed to visit the kids, but couldn't think of how to do it. The security man who opened the smaller gate for a parent didn't look that friendly. With his lips in a thin line, and his gaze flickering around like that of a hawk, he didn't seem approachable. I leaned on my car and held my arms, my thoughts back to the kids and how to meet them. Leaving wasn't an option, not if I wanted to get to Nova's heart. Being free and friendly with the kids, and getting close to them will make everything easy for me, which was why I took the first step t
The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back Willow is with the nurse
I fixed my gaze more on the number on the door as I strode down, trying to locate room 13. The security man was kind enough to point out their classroom, letting me know most of the teachers were in the building behind the colourful one I stepped into. Only a few stayed back to take care of the children as they went for their break. Though most of the kids were seated in their classes, I could hear sounds coming from the end of the hall. “How may I help you, sir?” I almost jumped out of my skin at the question. With my heart thumping loudly in my chest, I turned to see a young teacher smiling up at me, her brown eyes shining with mirth. She seemed amused by my reactions to her question. “Who are you?” She asked, forgoing her initial question. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion as she gave me an appraisal, the mirth in them vanishing the more I kept silent. Clearing my throat, while mentally beating myself for being shocked by a youngster, I smiled down at her, noting how young her act
The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back Miss Raspberry
“Oh.” I relaxed back, puzzled at how I reacted to the news. Had I not known better, I would have thought she was mine. Well, she will be, soon. Should everything work out between Nova and me, I will have to adopt the kids as mine. We will be one happy family, a family I will never let go of, regardless of what we encounter in the future. “What are you doing here?” His gentle question caused me to peer down at the cute boy, who had abandoned his painting, and now had his eyes fixed on me. “I came to visit you,” I responded, smiling down at him.“Really?” His eyes sparkled at that, only for his face to morph into a frown as he relaxed back on the bench he was sitting on. “Why are you here? Mum said we shouldn't speak to strangers.” “I'm not a stranger, am I?” I grinned at him, loving the charming gentleman he turned out to be. Nova certainly trained him well. I will give that credit to her. “But I don't know who you are,” he argued, a cute pout coming over his face as he stared at
The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back I need to see your babies
NOVA“That will be all for today.” I got up from my chair, and checked the time on my wristwatch, frowning at the thoughts of my kids waiting for me to pick them up. Brion travelled to the States this morning and might be back on Friday, or Sunday, depending on how long it took for him to sort things and get his arse back. I only pray it doesn't extend to next week. The others rose with me, smiling as they walked to the exit, conversing with each other. It had been an overall good day, with the tour around the gallery and our lunch break in an eatery across the road. Miss Benita, the new intern in the design department, was the one who suggested the studio when she heard of the meeting, and it helped a lot. Getting the position was difficult, but I pulled it through with some connections. Working for Dashiell had some advantages, and that included getting away with most things. Not like my feelings for Dashiell had changed or anything. I just stating facts. In this city, all you ne
