The Billionaire's Regret 1. Flash Marriage
Leena’s POV“What?” I gasped in shock.“Father, it hasn’t gotten to this,” I said seriously.“Why? Do you have any value or worth that it isn’t time to let go of you?” My father, the man I respect so much even though he was annoying barked at my face.“It’s an honor to get married to such a man because I doubt anyone would settle for you.” He spat on my face.“But, this is for my brother's life and my education. You can’t tell me to marry a crippled man!” I yelled in annoyance and my adoptive mother slapped my face as she stood up.“How dare you talk nonsense before my husband!” She hissed. “Who else should marry him if not you? Do you think Jane is worth the catch?” She raised a mocking brow.“But the family chose Jane and not me, Father, please.” I tried to plead with them.My brother’s life was at stake and in no time, my university certificate might be barred as I hadn’t finished my clearance. No doubt, I was at their mercy.“I want to help you, Leena but you also have to help me

Leena’s POV“What are you doing?” My adoptive mother tried to stop her but she refused.“And you must be the real daughter, Jane.” James curled his lips, his hand waiting for a handshake which she impatiently shook.“Yes. And I’m the one you are supposed to marry.” Jane rambled with words.“Jane, what are you doing? I thought we had an agreement?” My father shunned her.By this time, the audience was already wondering what we were discussing about. I stood like an idle dummy.“But, you aren’t in your wedding gown. Does that qualify you to be my bride?” He smirked. I found him interesting at first sight,He returned to my side.“I’m here to marry the said Leena Martins, so please let’s respect ourselves.” He said strictly before signaling the priest to continue.Jane was so annoyed that she couldn’t stay till the end of the wedding. She went away while my adoptive parents’ stayed for formality's sake and also because they hadn’t concluded terms with James.As soon as the wedding ended,

Leena’s POV“What?!” The news I heard on the phone startled me as I stood up and grabbed my handbag. I checked through the cabinet for the contract but couldn’t find it.“I... I will be with you shortly, please bear with me and don’t ignore him.” I rushed out of the room and almost bumped into James.“Whatsup? Why are you in a hurry?” He gave me a long look.“I... It’s none of your business.” I brushed him aside and left through the door.In the garage, I saw different colorful cars parked. I wondered who they were as I tried to book a ride with my phone.Soon, I saw three sets of different women approaching our mansion. They look so hot in their sexy tight skirts.“What are you doing here?” Absentmindedly, I questioned them.“What does it look like, bitch? James is done with you so screw off, it’s our turn.” One of the ladies hissed.“Do you know who…?” I hadn’t finished my statement when another shoved me aside and went away.I gave them a long disastrous look, feeling helpless and

Leena’s POVThis was the only option I had left.I exhaled heavily before pushing the door open with my hand on the doorknob.As the gentleman saw him, he sighed and concentrated on what he was doing with his laptop.“Sir….” I lowered my face.“You are here again, how can I help you this time?” He snorted, looking displeased.“I thought you saw my message last night.” I began but he didn’t respond to me. “Well, I’m here to ask for a loan. I promise to pay back before the deadline.” I said impatiently and he smirked in mockery before standing from his seat.“Leena, I know how I forced you last time before I could get my money back. The company almost fired me.” He grumbled, approaching me. I stepped backward.“Something came up last night which I explained to you,” I mumbled with a shaking voice.“And you are saying that thing won’t come up again?” He raised a scornful brow and I swallowed hard.“Mr. Mike, it’s just $500,000.” I spilled bluntly as his action was beginning to get me ann

Leena’s POV“Leena, Leena..!” He tried to get a hold of me but I quickly walked out of the living room. The ladies he wasted himself last night were still lying drowsily on the armchair and ground.“Please, let me explain myself.” He grabbed my hand.“Explain yourself? Why?” I scoffed, looking at him with disinterest.“What happened last night? I’m really sorry.” He lowered his head, feeling guilty and I smirked.“You have nothing to apologize for, Mr. James. We already made ourselves clear.” I spilled bluntly.“Someone spiked my drink last night, that was why I brought them home. I had no idea that I was home with them…” He paused. “Checking the CCTV camera, I’m dimwitted towards my action.” He said dolefully.“You know you are good at playing this game. But you owe me no apology and I don’t believe you. Live your life as you please and don’t disturb me.” I shunned him.“Trust me, Leena.” He didn’t let me go and I turned my back on him. “Yeah, I’m a cheating husband but after our wed

Leena’s POV“I asked you a question, Leena. What did you say?” He turned, facing me and I cleared my throat awkwardly.“I…I didn't say anything. Honestly.” I lied with certainty and he smirked.Inwardly, I felt he heard what I said because it was somewhat loud.He sighed softly and narrowed his eyes back to the mall attendant.“What are you waiting for? Package the shoe for my wife.” The sound of his last words ‘my wife’ caused my heart to shiver.“You don't have to do this.” He ignored me as we walked to the cashier point.All eyes were on me. They never believed that I was married to a rich handsome man. Besides, my dressing was way out of his league.He leaned on the counter, giving me a sexy stare as he flirtatiously winked.He was making things hard for me on my own end as my cheeks were burning hot.“Do you want anything else, sweetie?” He curled his lips.Oh goodness, he was truly a born player.I swallowed hard, shaking my head.“No, I'm fine. This already is too much.”Sudden

Leena's POV“Doctor, I got your call.” I ran into the hospital like one whose world was about to crumble.The doctor lifted his gaze and returned it to the file he was reading.“You are here.” He grumbled.“My apologies, I left my phone on silent all through the night. “ I began.“I came here as soon as I saw the missed calls. Is everything okay?” I rambled with words impatiently and he sighed heavily.“Mrs. Leena, it's about your brother.” He said and my gaze became intent and anxiety lingering in them.“What about him?” I asked.“He hasn't been responding to treatment since yesterday, the first and second surgery we did wasn't successful. We tried to suppress his bleeding but his condition isn't good. And you know you haven't paid any money in yet, we might close the case.” After he calmly explained to me, his voice grew cold.“Please bear with me, Doctor. I'm supposed to make another payment but funds aren't forthcoming.” I began dolefully.“This is not my hospital, Leena. I only a

Leena's POV“James, how about you go ahead while I finish my business with him.” I suggested, curling my lips.“And you think I will foolishly leave you with another man?” He snorted in annoyance, making me astonished.“But… this has nothing to do with you.” I stuttered, trying to remind him.“It seems you have forgotten that you're my wife.” He walked over to me and grabbed my waist, my neck bone straightened as his touch sent sharp jolts of shivers up my spine.I tried to hide my flustered cheeks.“Young man, what does my wife owe you?” He asked Mike seriously and Mike rubbed his chin.I tried to signal him not to say a word but unlike anyone, Mike loved money. He knew I might not be able to pay him immediately but seeing how influential my husband was and the kind of building we are living in, it was easier and faster for him to get his money back with enough interest.“You see… the thing is… your wife here is owing me the sum of $500,000 making it a total of $650,000 including int

“[BREAKING NEWS: Mr. and Mrs. Sean were the victims of an explosion around the isolated part of the city, the cause of the explosion is yet…]” Almost all the television, radios, and phones were announcing the same news. “How did this happen?” Leena's mother rushed into the emergency ward. “How come? How did something like this happen to both of them?” Leena's father asked anxiously as anxiety lingered in his eyes. “That shouldn't be our problem now.” Sean's father cried out. “What do you mean?” Leena's mother stared at him intently. “Only Sean's body was found at the explosion scene.” He paused. “Leena…. Leena…” He continued stuttering. “What are you implying?” Leena's father's lips started trembling. “Leena's body wasn't found.” Sean's mother spilled bluntly and the latter gasped in shock. It felt like they were electrocuted as they didn't speak or move for minutes. “Leena!!! How? Why?” Leena's mother wailed as she rambled with several questions. “We don't know. Sean barely

Leena's POV “Lawrence, I mean it when I said my children are under your care.” I began. “My parents and Sean's parents or someone else might come to make things difficult for you but as long as I'm not reachable, you've all the right to my children,” I said seriously. “You are confusing and serious, Leena. Is something going on?” He asked anxiously, raising a brow. “Everything is fine.” I placed a hand on his shoulder. “Thank you for everything. From beginning till the end, I truly appreciate it.” I said, forcing out a smile. “Thanks for trusting me.” He said courteously with a short bow. “Did you bring the car and prepare all that I told you to?” I asked him impatiently and he sighed. “I can't believe I did something like this.” He paused. “I trust you are sending this over to someone else, if not, I will blame myself forever if something happens to you.” He said sadly and I smirked. “I'm just trying to set things the way they were in the past. It's never your fault.” I assur
The Billionaire's Regret 138. Game Over
Leena's POV “Who are you?” And when he came out fully, I gave him a scornful look. “Who am I?” I smirked. “Has it gotten to the time when you can't recognize me?” I questioned him in disgust. “My apologies, I didn't see you clearly,” Harry said courteously. “Where is your boss? Where is James?” I fired at him anxiously. “He is not around at the moment.” He said, lowering his face to the ground and I knew he was lying. “I know that brat is in there. James! James! James!” I started banging at the gate again in anger. “Open this gate and let me in!” I barked at his face. “I'm sorry but I was asked not to open the gate for you.” He said randomly. “Harry, your boss is doing something evil! He is ruining my family. Will you still try to protect him till the end?” I asked him, raising a brow and he shook his head. “Please, leave Mrs. Sean.” He said coldly. “I can't believe you. All of you are evil. I won't let any of you go scout-free.” I cried bitterly. “Mrs. Sean, please leave n
The Billionaire's Regret 137. How Did We Get To This?
Leena's POV “James! James, you bastard! Come out here and atone for your sins!” I screamed while banging the gate. This had been going on for more than two hours yet he wasn't in sight. Was he ignoring me? He ruined Sean. He ruined my family and gave us sleepless nights. Why was he so wicked? “How did we get here?” I cried out with all my veins showing through my neck as I collapsed to the ground. As my eyes closed, old memories rushed through like adrenaline. I couldn't control or help it as I cried profusely. Sharp Flashback - “You're here.” He walked confidently to my corner and handed me a bunch of roses. I smiled. “Wow, thank you.” I gushed. “Come with me.” I took his hand as he walked me up to the round table. My eyes met with the plate on the table, a small cupcake was in the center and the chef designed a love shape around it. At the sides of the shape, there was a short note. “Be Mine Forever.” I was taken aback, flustered, and shocked. “James…’’ I trailed of

Leena's POV “Officer, I can't believe you fell for those words he stated. He is lying!” I couldn't control my emotions as I yelled at the police officer in anger. “What do you mean?” He scoffed. “I know the man I married. James would and will never have any twins!” I said seriously. “But he showed us evidence and everything. He also had an alibi that made it hard for us to point him as the victim.” He rashly explained to me. “Am I blind or something? How come for so many years when I was married to him, I never heard of or seen his so-called twin brother? Why are you falling for these lies? I mean, you can even ask around to know if this is true!” I rambled with words in annoyance, firing several questions at them. “We are sorry, Mrs. Sean. We have to follow this case slowly. Besides, he has good connections and I'm afraid of losing my job.” He said skeptically and I smirked. “What? So, you are trying to save your head rather than bringing justice to me? Where is my detective? W

James' POV “I knew from the start that both of you are good-for-nothing pigs!” I yelled at their faces in anger as they buried their faces on the ground. “We… we are sorry boss.” They stuttered. “I warned you, didn't I? I told you not to insert bullets in the guns as we are only going to scare them!” I reminded them in disgust. “We are sorry boss but…” they trailed off when the door of the warehouse made a loud noise. My father approached us with a deep mischievous laugh. “I told them to do so.” He spilled bluntly and my jaw dropped. “What?” It was too hard to believe and the only way to protect my emotion was to act clueless. “I told them to pull the trigger if Leena or her so-called husband refused to hand over my grandchildren.” He informed me seriously and I scoffed in disbelief. “Father!” I cried out sadly as a big frown took residence on my face. “What?” He gave me a scornful look. “We can't afford to hurt anyone or play dirty.” I reminded him seriously. “This is my g

What's going on?”Leena's parents rushed into the emergency ward, looking anxious and worried.“She…” I held my head with my palm, feeling devasted.“She is still in the operating room,” I informed them sadly.“Why? Isn't it taking too long?” Her mother panicked.“It is. It is but I can't barge in, can I?” I raised an anxious brow.“How did this happen? You were impatient over the phone so we didn't get the full details.” Her father's voice came up, staring at me.“We were at home, thinking about how to tighten our safety since I wasn't comfortable with the kidnap case.” I began.“I was shocked when I heard he had broken the mansion gate with his men.” I sighed heavily.“Everything happened so fast and it was only the sound of the gun that brought me back to earth,” I explained meticulously and they shook their heads in disbelief.“That brat has grown so bold!” Her mother gnashed her teeth.“He pushed my daughter to this state, does he thin

Can't you knock?” He quickly arranged his trousers and shirt as he took his seat.The brunette picked up her clothes lying on the floor and rushed out of his office.I turned my gaze back at my father.“Why should I knock? Does this place look like a hotel to you?” I questioned him in disgust.“Why are you here?

Are you deaf!” As I spoke, I grabbed the other one and pushed him to the ground.“We… we are sorry, boss.” They trembled on the floor.“How dare you! You should have been careful!” I was so enraged that their apology did nothing more than irritate me.“I paid you enough and fed you for these few days! You grew stupid because I failed to tame you!” I picked up hard wood on the floor and spanked them in anger.They winced in pain, falling to the ground.“You have less than one hour to atone for your sin, otherwise I can't assure you of keeping your life,” I informed them curtly before storming out of the warehouse.I was angry because this was the first task my father had given me since the time my mother died.He wanted to fight with me until I got what was mi
