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
The Billionaire's Regret 79. Stand Beside Me
Leena’s POVI knew he wouldn't hesitate to spill the beans. He spotted it so quickly but how was he able to conclude that they were his children when he hadn't seen them or had any evidence?“Do you know what you are saying?” I tried to remain strong and also buy enough time that I could.“What? Do you think I wouldn't know?” He scoffed, flashing me a creepy smile.“You are mistaken again, Mr. James.” I crossed my arms and he stared at me anxiously.“I remarried as soon as I left the States. You can ask my lawyer about that.” I said confidently.“Married? How? When?” He rambled with words in disbelief.“With whom?” He fired at me impatiently.“Do you think I would sit somewhere in the subway and cry my heart out or live a lonely life while thinking about you?” I scoffed in disgust and he was taken aback by my statement.“When I knew that you were nothing but a rotten cheater, I moved on with my life! I found someone richer and better than you!” I lashed at his face seriously and he wa
The Billionaire's Regret 80. Clash Between Mafia Lords
James’ POV“How the HELL DID THIS HAPPEN??!!” I barked at Harry's face in anger as I faced him.I was boiling in rage after glancing through the state of my company's stock.Everything was depreciating.“Boss… I have no idea, believe me.” Harry shivered frantically.“You have no idea?” I scoffed in disgust.“I gave you an assignment to contact me ASAP if you notice any waiver in our stock, what were you doing?” I asked him curtly.“After dropping Miss. Leena at your mansion, I returned to the company but on getting here, the whole thing had already happened and I was informed late.” He explained to me rashly and I rolled my eyes away from him.“That bitch! Don't you ever mention her name!” I gnashed my teeth in fury.This had never happened before. It was something predictable but the shocking part was that even the marketing wasn't given a heads-up.I roughly scratched my hair and picked up the tablet from my desk.My eyes slowly turned red as I stared at the digits in anger.Someone
The Billionaire's Regret 81. No Longer at Peace
Leena's POV“Kelvin, I want you to return to California first thing tomorrow morning,” I said calmly, as I sat down on the dining chair.He had left the living room to drink a glass of water when I followed him.“Sis!” He gulped the water, staring at me in confusion.“I mean it, you need to leave,” I said firmly.“But, why? I haven't spent a week here neither have I gotten to know more about my cousins. Why are you chasing me away?” He asked in distraught.“I'm not chasing you away, sweetie. It's for your own good.” I tried to assure him sadly.“My own good?” He scoffed, rolling his eyes away from me.“Is there something you are hiding away from me?” He asked anxiously and I swallowed hard on nothing.James knew my vulnerability and he would do everything possible to get a hold of it. I wanted him far away from this mess until everything was settled. As for my kids, I had the law to back me up and also Sean to protect us.This was the first time in my life that I saw my brother as not
The Billionaire's Regret 82. Gala
Leena's POV “Daddy!!” I watched as CJ and JC happily jumped on him as soon as he came downstairs.I smirked. Thankfully I gave him a cheat code last night else he would be left to explain everything to them.But, was he okay or just pretending to be?“Okay champs, come have breakfast,” I said, placing the dishes on the dining table.“Wow! Momma made honey pancakes!” CJ gasped in excitement.“Yaay!” They quickly had their seats while Sean walked slowly.“Dad, we stayed up all night waiting for you but you never returned,” JC complained as we began eating delicately.“I did. Maybe my little champs were dozing off by then.” He said teasingly and they laughed heartily.His brows furrowed when he saw an empty seat and he turned to me.“I believe Kelvin was here yesterday, where is he?” He asked anxiously.“Oh, he visited his old hospital to greet his ex-doctor before leaving,” I said slyly as I returned to my meal.“Tasty!” My kiddies nodded their heads in excitement. They were in their o
The Billionaire's Regret 83. Mafia Princess
Leena's POV “Hey sweetie, where have you been?” Sean met with me as I was about to enter the hall.I was coming out of the restroom axis.“I was looking for you when Hailey left until I got an unexpected visitor.” I rambled with words, sounding annoyed.“Hope all is good?” He asked rhetorically, raising an anxious brow and I nodded.“Yeah, I’m good,” I said with a sharp exhale.“Did you finish with your business?” I changed the topic as we walked back into the bustling hall.“Fortunately it was successful.” He said, nodding his head as a smile formed on his lips.“Surprised how you are acquainted with Hailey,” I said, intentionally trying to get to the end of it.It would be a big lie if he tried to act clueless.“Yeah, she used to work for me at the company.” He said slyly.“Just that?” I curled my lips and he faced me.“I was expecting something else. I mean, do you know who she was before now?” I asked, raising an anxious brow.“Of course I did.” He snapped me out, gulping the win
The Billionaire's Regret 84. Termination
James’ POVJust as I was walking out of my estate, someone grabbed me by the collar and threw me a hard punch.“Who the hell…” I suddenly stopped talking when I saw the person before me.“Leena?” I almost gasped in shock.Her punch was not something I expected from her as it was also hard.“What is the meaning of this?” I asked her in annoyance.“I should be asking you that question, asshole!” She yelled at my face in anger.“Can you tell me what the fuck is going on?” I fired at her curtly.“Where are my children? Where did you take my kids to?” She asked me anxiously as her eyes wandered around my estate and back at me.“Where?” She made a comeback, pushing me away.“I don't know what you are talking about.” I dusted off my squeezed suit.“You think I'm joking, right?” Her words hadn't landed when I started hearing sirens approaching my estate.“You brat, what are you doing!” I gritted my teeth in anger.“What does it look like? Until you bring my kids, you will remain in jail.” She

“[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

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! 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!
