The Billionaire's Regret 26. Stop Playing with my Heart
Leena's POV“This is not the end of the battle, Leena.” Martins grinned.“At least, I won and I won't be crossing paths with you again.” I said confidently.“Better watch your back, I promise to make you suffer this shame you have caused my family. You are nothing but an ingrate!” Jane hissed.From her voice and facial expression, it was obvious that she was annoyed.“Ingrate?” I scoffed, curling my lips.“After everything my parents have done for you…?” Jane dragged her last word, giving me a dirty look.“What did they do for me other than fooling me to get something from me? They do good things for me when they want my help, so there is no difference. They helped me and I helped them too!” I reminded her curtly and she fell shut.“You have got a voice now since you are married to a rich man. We shall see what happens when you get dumped. Do you think this is his first marriage?” Mrs. Martins’ scornfully asked and the trio laughed.For some reason, that word got to me and made my moo

James' POV “Boss, we have a problem.” Harry said as I strolled into the office with him.I didn't respond to him as I stared through the panoramic view, watching the bustling city while in deep thought.“I'm sorry that this week I have been giving you bad news.” He apologized.“Just speak and stop apologizing. It's not like your apologies will solve anything.” I snorted, already sounding annoyed even when I hadn't heard what he had to say.“Madam Charity and your step brothers are still at the family mansion.” He spilled bluntly and I gradually faced him.“I think your stepmother is at it again. They have succeeded in lying to your father that you plan to get rid of your step brothers when you step into power. I also believe they drugged him this time.” He frowned.“I'm afraid we have to lie low and make them feel you have nothing and don't stand as a threat else it will be hard on you.” He informed me sadly.I exhaled heavily, lifting my gaze.“What's the current situation?” I rubbe

Leena's POV “Sister, you have been in a bad mood these days. Are you alright?” Kelvin asked as he strolled into the dinning room still in his pajamas.“No, I'm fine.” I lied, shaking my head.The toasting machine made a sharp sound, pushing out the sliced bread and I took them out, placing it on the plate.“Here, this is for you. Do you want mayonnaise?” I asked warmly.“Yeah with a cup of coffee.” He said.“Right up!” I smirked, heading to the coffee machine.“Sister, where is uncle James?” His question startled me but thankfully the mug didn't slip from my hand.“Why are you asking about him so early?” I forced out a smile, placing the cup of coffee on the table.“He promised to take me out today and get me whatever I want.” He pouted his lips, his doey eyes trying to crumble my defenses.I didn't want him to start building a relationship with James.What if James and I divorce or something happens?Our relationship wasn't progressing and I didn't want Kelvin to suffer from it.I d

Leena's POV“Kelvin, if you are not fast enough, I will be going out without you.” While I prepared his breakfast, I called out to him.“I'm coming!” I heard his little voice echoed all through the hallway.I left his breakfast on the dining table and walked to the living room to arrange my handbag and prepare for work.“Here.” I heard his voice behind me and I turned, staring at him with a confused look“What is it?” I asked him.“Use this car.” He instructed and I gave him a long look before exhaling heavily.“Why?” I curled my lips.“Your work is far from home and you don't have to book a ride everyday or depend on another when we have a lot of cars in the garage.” He rambled with words seriously and I smirked.It seemed the event that happened the other day was still playing sudoku with him.“No, I don't want your car.” I said seriously.“Why?” I asked, raising a brow and also looking surprised.“I have money to pay my transport fare and also I have someone who is willing to drive

James' POV Checking my wrist watch and slowly gulping down the wine, I lifted my gaze at the bulky man sitting across from me.“Mr. Wellosco, did you hear me?” The bulky man who was my current top client, Mr. Whyte asked and I sighed.“One thing I hate in business is adding marriage in deals and you know that.” I rubbed my chin.He smirked, nodding his head.“You are right but I'm only a desperate father who wants to see his daughter get married and bear my grandchildren.” He spilled bluntly, locking his gaze with mine.“My daughter is approaching thirty five.” He began and his headline attracted my interest.“Over the years, she has been giving me different kinds of features she needed in a man, one thing or the other. But in this dire hour, she pointed at you. She wants to get married to you, that is why I'm using this marriage as a seal for our contract.” He meticulously explained to me and I nodded my head.“Must it be me? I have a good suitor for her. He has money, face and ever

Leena's POV The bed felt warm and soggy, I had been struggling not to open my eyes because of the calm moment I was having. It was rare and I wanted to make use of it, but it suddenly went missing when I felt flashes of sun rays on my face.I gradually opened my eyes, revealing the spacious and bright room I was in.This wasn't home.I rolled my eyes to another corner only to find Damon standing before me. He quickly flashed me a warm smile with a tray on his hand.“Hey, princess. It's morning.” He said in excitement as I grumpily say upright on the bed.“Why did you wake me up? I wanted to sleep more.” I fumbled, and he chuckled.“You still have work to attend and other activities.” He sat on the bed, facing me.I thought people looked ugly in the morning but I was shocked at how he looked so charming this morning.“Have something to eat, you slept hungry last night.” He said, pushing the tray to me.“Is this breakfast in bed?” I teased him and he laughed shyly.“Maybe.” He said.“B

Leena's POV“James, one thing I hate is apologizing and not changing. And you know that.” We stopped at the living room while Kelvin went upstairs to his room.“I mean it this time and ever. I don't cheat on you.” He claimed.“Then, what's the thing with frequent women? Not even one or the same one but new faces?” I asked scornfully.“Can you please trust me and ignore my interaction with women?” He asked, quickly grabbing my hands.I smirked, staring at his face.“How can you ask your wife…?” I paused, swallowing hard on nothing.“Okay, let's say we are married on paper. But how can you tell someone you claim to love to ignore your frequent contact with women? It's not like you have ever touched me!” I queried in disgust.“Leena, it's not like I don't want to touch you. I'm not ready now.” He said sadly.“But you are ready to toy with my feelings?” I forcefully pulled my hands from him, nodding my head.“You see one thing about men is that they keep on playing and fooling the woman t

James' POV“What happened?” I asked her lovingly as she entered the car.“I told you not to come pick me up. I came here with a car.” She complained.“Harry will send it back home. How was your exam?” I started the engine. She looked uninterested like one who had so much in her mind.“Just so-so.” She muttered.“Did you write?” I asked.“Of course I did.” She claimed with certainty.“Did you fail or something? What happened in the hall?” It was inevitable to hide my curiosity especially since she was unwilling to open up.“What do you mean? How could I fail when I read all night?” I didn't know but I took that for a brag and sighed.“Babe, you debited $3.5 million from my black card.” I reminded her, trying to keep cool as she closed her mouth, feeling embarrassed.“I… I'm sorry.” She said nervously.“Well, I was expecting you to say that when you entered the car and also explain everything that happened today.” I scoffed, facing the road.“For the money, I will pay in bits when I get

“[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
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

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

Father!” I screamed in anger as I stormed into my father's office, holding a newspaper.I just received the worst news of my life and he was at fault.My father seemed to be busy as a brunette sat on his desk while they engaged in a steamy lustful affair.My eyes blazed in anger as I watched my father passionately kissing another lady who wasn't my mother and moaning, the lady's legs were wrapped around his waist.“Go get a room if you don't know what they call dignity!” I yelled at him in anger and they flinched.“Where are your manners? 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? You always like interrupting my peaceful moments!” He yelled at my face but I rolled my eyes.“You can screw all the wome
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! 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
