James' POV“[BREAKING NEWS: The crippled billionaire and noble heir of the Wellson Empire, Mr. James was served divorce papers by his wife, Leena. Does that mean he has an awful reputation as rumored? Or ….]” My eyes gradually opened as my eyes welcomed the awful news that was being announced on TV by a female news reporter.“Where am I? What happened to me? What happened yesterday?” I rambled with questions anxiously as my eyes wandered every corner in the room.Some strings were connected to my hand which hurt whenever I tried to move my hands.“Boss. Boss.” Harry rushed up to me.“Boss, please stay calm.” He said calmly, pulling me to the bed.“Stay calm? Go ahead and explain what happened to me.” I said arrogantly as I grumpily sat upright on the bed.“I also tried to reach you yesterday but couldn't. According to your dashcam, you left the street bar drunk and also tried reaching out to your ex-wife. Everything happened so fast but the next call I got was that you were in the hos

The Billionaire's Regret 62. Morning Fever
Leena's POV“I don't know if it's right to ask what you are doing here.” Hailey said calmly.“And I don't know if it's right to ask how you got here.” I said rhetorically, staring at her.There was a thick silence in the atmosphere when we suddenly burst into laughter.We took a break and went to the rooftop as that was the only quiet and calm place to me. We were holding the plastic cup of coffee.“When I told you I was coming to London, you didn't even act like one who is coming here too.” She shrugged.“Yeah, I didn't want everyone to know my location.” I smirked and she nodded her head.“That's understandable.” She paused.“But, why did you come here? I mean your husband is the heir of thousands of companies. Why did you leave New York to come somewhere like this?” She asked anxiously and I gulped the coffee before lifting my gaze.“We have divorced. I mean James and I.” I spilled bluntly.“Divorce? But why?” She gasped with her eyes open in shock.“Maybe he is not the one for me.

Leena's POVI brought out my purse and gave the driver $20 for his service.“Thank y…” I hadn't finished my statement when he grabbed my hand, stopping me from leaving.“What is the meaning of this?” I asked, giving him a confused stare.“Do I look like a beggar?” He asked scornfully, shooting me a dirty look.“What? What do you mean?” I was taken aback by his statement.“Do you think this is a plain country where transport fare is free? From your location to this place, is $250!” He informed me in annoyance.“$250? Really?” I scoffed in disbelief.If not for the time frame, I could walk down to the office but I was in a hurry. Why was a mature looking man trying to con me?“How far is it? In twenty minutes, I can walk down from my house to the office.” I explained to him rashly.“We are not discussing geography right now. Pay the complete money!” He barked at my face, and I tried to pull my hand away.“Blame yourself for working in a place like this and yet you can afford a simple bi
The Billionaire's Regret 64. Proposal
Leena's POVIn my Dream…I trailed off when my phone started ringing.“Who is it?” He asked, staring at me slightly.“A doctor friend.” I lied, and ignored the call.I wanted to drop before taking the call to avoid James eavesdropping but the call kept on coming, it seemed urgent thus I quickly picked it up.“Hello, Doctor.” It was Kelvin's doctor.“Leena, did you get the memo?” The doctor asked over the phone.“What memo?” I asked, looking confused.“Your mother and stepsister, Jane, came to the hospital to discharge Kelvin. He is fine now and he has gone back home.” The doctor spilled bluntly, his voice filled with excitement but my jaw dropped.In reality…I woke up with my eyes darting everywhere, I wanted to ask where my brother was when I remembered it was a daydream and everything was fine.“You are awake.” His cold voice also reminded me that I was in his car.I remembered entering his car forcefully as he said he wanted to take me somewhere.“Where are we going to?” I asked h
The Billionaire's Regret 65. Love Takes the Wheel
Leena's POV“Auntie Leena!” I was cleaning the room when Jasper ran into my living room happily. He was still in his uniform.“Jas baby, how are you? How was school today?” I asked him warmly as I dropped the vacuum cleaner and sat on the armchair with him.“Fine, fine, fine. I didn't see you throughout yesterday until I went to bed. I thought you relocated.” He frowned sadly and I smirked, gently stroking his hair.“Well, I won't pack out now especially since your mum has charmed me with her tasty meal.” I teased him and he laughed happily.“Auntie, I want to…” He stopped talking when his eyes fell on the ring in my finger.“Mum! Mum!” He started calling out to his mother, so funny that I laughed loudly.“Mum, where are you?” He continued yelling his mother's name.“What's happening here?” His mother, Veronica, asked anxiously as she rushed into my room.She had the frying spoon in her hand.“Mum, Auntie Leena is about running away from us.” He complained dolefully.“What do you mean
The Billionaire's Regret 66. Forced Marriage
James' POV“Jane, why are you joking with your life? You know what would happen if you mess up with me, right?” I threatened her in anger.“What more can you do, James? If you could cheat on Leena with me, then there is nothing you can do to me.” She said flirtatiously, curling her lips.“I warned you never to speak of her with disrespect again, didn't I?” I asked in annoyance, grabbing her arm.“It doesn't matter any longer. She is as good as useless.” She spilled bluntly.“I'm not here for your rant. Hand the flash drive to me.” I seriously requested for the drive.“I know this is what you want and you would get rid of me when you have your hand in it. Why will I cast it to you?” She asked, raising an anxious brow.I didn't know why I couldn't put her in her place. Was it because I was too sentimental when it comes to women or I had respect for the female gender?She was annoying and deserved every action from me but I was reluctant.“You are part of Leena's memory, whether good or
The Billionaire's Regret 67. A Search for my Rib
James' POV“Boss, you just agreed to marry Hannah, daughter to the Chairman of Lush Hair group.” Harry reminded me as we got out of the car.“I know. I know what I did and what I'm doing.” I informed him coldly.“Does this mean you have gotten over your feelings for Miss. Leena?” I stopped in my tracks and faced him.“Do you have to ruin the mood by calling that name?” I asked him curtly.“I'm sorry sir.” He lowered his head to the ground.“Which room is she in?” I asked almost immediately.“Room 180.” He paused.“Boss, can I go in with you?” He made a comeback as we entered the elevator.“No. You will stay outside and wait for my command.” I instructed him calmly.“Sure. Have you seen her full report that I sent to your email last night?” He asked courteously, staring at me.“Yes, I did and that's why I'm confident about this meeting.” I informed him in relief.“I will be outside then.” He said neutrally.Thick silence erupted in the elevator as I roughly rubbed my forehead.

“[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

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.

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

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

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
