The Billionaire's Regret 71. Heart-wrenching Encounter
Leena's POVI strolled into my boyfriend's and found him watching the news, and immediately he saw me, he jumped from the armchair and rushed to my side.“Babe, what took you so long?” He looked worried and anxious.“Nothing much. I walked down here from the hospital.” I said as he assisted me to sit on the armchair.He sat down beside me.“Why? You could have booked a ride or called me.” He said with a big frown.“No, I wanted to catch a breath.” I assured him with a warm smile and he exhaled heavily.“So, what did the doctor say about your health?” He asked, staring at me anxiously.“He said I should come back to the hospital and run some tests.” I couldn't tell him the exact discussion I had with the doctor.“Does that mean it's a normal symptom and you are fine?” He asked, pushing my hair away from my face and tucking it behind my ear.“Yes babe. I'm fine.” I nodded, flashing him a smile.“You don't know how much I'm worried about you, sweetie. As much as I want to spend the rest
The Billionaire's Regret 72. My Home
Leena's POVI washed my face in the sink and walked out of the restroom.“Hey Leena, you are still here?” Lily, my co-worker, asked me, looking surprised.“Is there somewhere else I should be?” I asked anxiously, staring at her.“Yes.” She paused.“The CEO approved our field trip. Though you weren't here yesterday, you were part of the staff coming for the field trip.” She meticulously explained to me and I sighed.“Really? I got no memo.” I shrugged.“Everyone didn't. Just grab your bag and let's go.” She urged me with a smile.“Sure. I will settle things and meet you all.” I informed her calmly.“The bus leaves by ten.” She paused and gave a quick look at her wristwatch.“We have seven minutes left so hurry up.” She said in excitement and rushed out of the workspace.I walked to my desk and crashed on the seat. If it was in the past, I wouldn't have known what was wrong with me. But right now, I felt weak, which was a normal symptom for pregnant women.I felt reluctant to attend the
The Billionaire's Regret 73. Divorce Divorcee
James' POV“Who is it?” I asked angrily as I headed to the entrance and opened the door, and to my surprise, my stepmother and my father entered the hallway and walked into the living room.Why were they here?This was the second time since I relocated that my father had visited me.I exhaled heavily before following them behind.“Father, good morning.” As I spoke cautiously, I pointed at a comfortable armchair for him to sit on which he sat grumpily.“I'm surprised to see you…” I trailed off as my gaze fell on my obnoxious stepmother.“What do you mean? Are you not happy to see us?” Madam Charity fired at me.“No, that's not what I mean.” I rattled out immediately.“Then, what do you mean? Before I came here, you should know the reason.” My father cleared his throat.“Is it about the stock? Because the last time I checked, our company is still floating.” I said as a warm smile engulfed my lips and he clicked his tongue.“We are here because of your married life, James. It's not what

I wanted to get rid of it but the doctor's word toyed with me.~Sharp flashback~“If you continue with the abortion, I'm afraid it will harm your womb and you will never be able to give birth in your life.”~Present~I thought that was the end of my peaceful love life and the beginning of hardship but his words melted my heart.~Sharp flashback~“I’m not the father but here is one thing I promise you, happiness and endless love between us. I will forever be beside you.”~Present~Watching them grow was another memory I wished was captured so I could reminisce on them while watching without having to close my eyes and think about it.There were thousands of hindrances, so many write-ups by the media but how we overcame everything was unexplainable.“Daddy! Catch it!” I heard my son's voice calling out to Sean who was struggling with the other.I couldn't help but smile at the scene. The cone ice cream slowly
The Billionaire's Regret 75. Sudden Emergency
Leena's POV“Babe, did you get their uniforms from the laundry room?” I asked him lovingly as I packed their things into the box.“I did. We have to hurry.” He said hastily.“It's not my fault that we slept late. I'm coming.” I said, sounding exhausted.For an early morning filled with pressure, fatigue was one thing that shouldn't be added.“Do we really have to attend this?” I asked him sadly.“Who signed the deal?” He scoffed, raising a brow and I lowered my face in guilt.If I knew it would be impromptu and stressful, I wouldn't have signed the model deal.A big body care company contacted us concerning using our children as models for their product. The payment and benefits were mouth-watery, and honestly, I couldn't reject the offer.“Where are my sonshine?” I asked him as we walked into the living room.“I have already sent them to the car.” He said grumpily, arranging his tie.That was something I would have done for him but we had no time on our end and my hands were full.“H
The Billionaire's Regret 76. No Escape
James’ POV“Is Hannah still filing a lawsuit against me?” I asked Harry seriously as I stared at the bustling city through the panoramic view in my office.“No sir, I think her father has warned her not to disgrace herself or embarrass their family in public.” He informed me courteously and I sighed in relief.“So, what has she been up to?” I asked anxiously, facing him.“I spotted her at the embassy two days ago. It is certain that she is planning to leave the country.” He said with a sharp nod, his eyes glimmering with confidence.“That's for the good. She shouldn't hold on to the past knowing fully well that we aren't meant for each other.” I said, rubbing my forehead.There was a long silence between us and I cleared my throat.“How are things with my family members?” I asked him calmly, raising an anxious brow.“There has been no movement. Not from your father or stepmother. Everything is awfully calm.” He said, cryptically unsure.“That's not my family members, they must be cook
The Billionaire's Regret 77. Upside Down
Leena's POV“Where is he?” I was walking in wide steps, holding my children's hands.I felt pity for them since it was somewhat hard to match up with my pace.“Where the hell are you?” I groaned as my eyes wandered from left to right on the empty street until I spotted a car approaching me.A little smile formed on my lips.“Momma, is everything okay?” CJ asked anxiously and I looked at them.“I'm fine. Don't worry yourself.” I smiled at them as the car got closer to us.“Get in.” The car stopped and we entered.My children sat in the back seat while I sat beside the driver.“What took you so long?” I asked him anxiously.“So sorry, ma'am. There was a horrible traffic jam in front.” He explained courteously and I rolled my eyes away.“Take me to his office.” I said seriously and he nodded, stepping on the throttle.“Please increase the speed, this is not a road trip.” I urged the driver.The ride was a short one as we arrived at Attorney Lawrence's office.If I hadn't urged the driver
The Billionaire's Regret 78. Captured
James’ POV“Boss, your ex-wife has been captured but unfortunately, the children aren't with her.” Harry's voice came up from the earpod that I wore as a cold smirk lingered on my lips.Even after all these years, she was good at playing dirty.She knew my plans like the back of her hand but she was unlucky to think that I would use the same method frequently.The entrance door made a beeping sound as the guards entered the living room with Leena. She struggled from their grip and pushed them away.Here was the woman I hadn't seen for more than four years.She was looking pretty pretty and had added weight though the current situation left her messy.I tried to control the excitement that boiled in my heart as we exchanged long stares.“Finally.” I exhaled deeply with a cold smile.“How dare you! What are you doing?” She fired in anger while gritting her teeth.“What does it look like?” I smirked, curling my lips.“Of course, I have taken my stubborn wife hostage as she wouldn't confo

“[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

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

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!
