What does he want from her?He made an illustration, pointing at his car and I instantly concluded that he wanted to drive her home.“Absurd!” I cursed inwardly as I started pressing the horn.I pressed it constantly until their attention drifted to me. Then, I rolled down the window so she would see who it was and also know that what she was doing wasn't right for a married woman.Wait, why was I jealous?“James.” It's been a while since she called me by my real name.I was surprised and it only pickled my interest to find out what she had with that
The Billionaire's Regret 17. My Husband is My Boss
Leena's POV“Ready to meet with the head director?” Damon passed the coffee as he entered the cool break room.“Well, I will have to face him one way or the other.” I shrugged.“Did you finish the proposal?” He asked, raising a brow.“Yeah, I dedicated last night to making this proposal. I hope he doesn't take it for granted.” I frowned, slowly drinking the coffee.“How about I take a look?” He suggested, staring at me anxiously.I haven a sigh.“Does it change anything? I mean, the last one that everyone approved, you know what happened later, right?” I asked him, sounding a little bit annoyed.“I know you mean good but don't bother stressing yourself.” I flashed him a smile and he nodded.“Sure! I wish you luck then.” He said happily.“Alright. I have to go now.” I informed him.I felt his gaze on me as I completely stepped out of the room.I sighed heavily before knocking on the head director’s office.“Come in.” His voice came up almost immediately.I strolled into his office and
The Billionaire's Regret 18. Love in Contract
Leena's POV“Is there something you want to explain to me?” I heard Damon's voice from behind as I patiently waited for the designated driver I had called.“Mr. Damon.” I acted as if I didn't hear his statement.“Single, got married and now a wife to the CEO. Can you explain to me what is happening?” He asked, staring at me anxiously.“I'm really sorry, Damon. I wanted to explain everything to you later but honestly, I had no idea that my husband is the boss here.” I explained to him sadly.“Really? Now you agree you are married.” He paused, roughly scratching his hair.“Leena, you told me that you were single. You of all people know that I wanted to court you, don't you think you have hurt my pride and embarrassed me?” His eyes became weak, looking red and annoyed.I swallowed hard, feeling guilty.“I'm sorry. I didn't want anyone here to know that I'm married so we won't feel uncomfortable while working.” I began.“And secondly, I was also attracted to you, that was why I lied. Mr.
The Billionaire's Regret 19. Family Dinner
Denver's POV“Leena, where are you? We are running late.” I said the umpteenth time after checking my wrist watch.I had already dressed in my regular black suit, waiting for her beside the car we would be using.It was my father's wish to see my wife before my stepmother moved out with her children. I reluctantly agreed to it since it wasn't a big deal.I tucked my hand in my trouser pocket while waiting for the princess of the night.I knew women for one thing.They always want to turn out beautiful in their husband's family affair.To them, it would be a slap on their face if they embarrassed their husband but I cared less about that since there was more significant thing than her appearance.While I thought deeply, my eyes swayed to the entrance and I saw her approaching me with elegant strides.“Leena?” Unconsciously I called out to her.She was wearing a long bodycon dress, a silver necklace resting on her chest, a pair of black heels and a shiny small purse in her hand.She loo
The Billionaire's Regret 20. Broad Daylight Kidnapping
Leena's POVI didn't have to read the bogus file he sent across to me just because I had to attend a family dinner.I had overbearing parents like his stepmother and I knew the kind of person they were.Time like this, even the questions in the file might not be asked and you would be left in the loop.Nothing was original than to rigmarole with him when questions were being asked.His father concluded the meeting and we strolled out of the mansion.Till we were done with the dinner, I couldn't believe that his family owned such a mighty building.Why did he marry me when he was an established man?He would have traveled to a country and married someone richer.Inwardly, I felt I wasn't his class or type but I held them all in.Just one year, we had about seven to eight months left before we would round up this contract.“Are you okay?” He tugged at me when we got closer to the car.“Yeah, I'm good.” I exhaled a deep sigh of relief.“Hey, Jame's contracted wife.” His stepbrother, Max
The Billionaire's Regret 21. Another Proposal
Leena's POV“Take me to my family house.” I instructed him seriously.“What? All of a sudden?” He gave me a quick look.“Yes. There is an emergency.” I rashly explained to him.“But you vowed never to go back to that mansion, I really don't know what's going on.” He looked disturbed and I sighed, closing my eyes briefly.“Please, can you just listen to me and take me there? If I don't go, something might happen to me.” I cried out bitterly.“Sure.” He reversed, still looking worried.“From workplace to family mansion, one can't really understand you.” He commented while he drove but I ignored him and took out my phone.What gave the hospital the right to release my brother to my adoptive parents?Since Kelvin was sent to the hospital, none of them have visited or care about his health. They also didn't know how I raised funds for his treatment yet before I was told, they were the first to know his discharge date and even took him home.The thought of this made me hit the window in ann
The Billionaire's Regret 22. Officially an Orphan
Leena's POV“Mr. James, this is a family affair. Please stay away from it.” My adoptive father cautioned him.“If I remember correctly, I'm also part of this family… as my in-law.” He curled his lips, staring at him.“Then, don't try to stop us from taming our child.” My adoptive mother said in provocation.“Leena might be your child but she is no longer a baby and this boy, he is her real brother which gives you no right to take hostage of him.” He began.It felt great to have someone by yourself. I mean, all through my life I didn't have anyone who would fight for me or protect me but James was doing those things I had always wanted.He took a step closer, approaching my adoptive father.“And you know what happens if you try to do it by force, I won't relent to sue you to court.” He threatened them curtly.“James! You can't do this!” Jane cried out.“I'm supposed to be your wife, Leena stole my place. We only want her to do the right thing and that's all.” Jane rashly explained to h
The Billionaire's Regret 23. Trapped in Lies
James' POVThe turn of events yesterday was so much that as soon as I freshen up and fell on the bed, that was it till morning.I groaned, coming downstairs while struggling to wear my suit. I checked my wrist watch and it was already 9:00AM which means I have missed her again.“Good morning, Uncle James!” Kelvin cheerfully greeted me from the dining room axis.He was having breakfast.“Hey champ, how was your night?” I approached the dinning room to have a glass of water.“Very nice! This is the best sleep I have had in a while.” He was so enigmatic and enthusiastic which made me smile.“That's good.” I paused, my eyes wandering around the room.“Where is your sister?” I asked slyly when I knew she was out.“She left very early for work.” He said.“Do you want anything?” I asked him, adjusting my tie.“Nothing much, just stay with me and hang out. I can't afford to stay alone.” He grumbled sadly.“Ouch! Wrong timing champ. Uncle has work to sort out at work.” I frowned.Inwardly, I w

“[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
The Billionaire's Regret 139. Big Destruction
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
The Billionaire's Regret 136. Against All Odds
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
The Billionaire's Regret 135. No More in Love
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
The Billionaire's Regret 134: Vengeance for Momma
Sean's POV “How is my daughter?”“How is he? 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?

The Billionaire's Regret 132: The Future
James' POV“Arghh!!!” I screamed at the top of my voice as I charged over the guards.“You bastard!” I grabbed the first one by his collar and punched him in anger.“I told you to fucking keep watch and make sure you don't escape! 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!
