The Billionaire's Regret 88. Billionaire's Regret
James’ POV“Boss.” His eyes and his demeanor made me conclusively guess what he wanted to say.“She rejected me. She rejected my offer.” I spilled bluntly, throwing my jacket on the armchair.“Arghh!” I groaned in annoyance and despair.It felt so bitter to lose and it was so painful when it was coming from someone you never expected.“Boss, please calm down.” He said sadly but unfortunately, his words were no longer soothing again.“We have to come up with another plan.” He made a comeback and I shot him a cold stare.“What other plans can we come up with when she always crumbles them and finds her way out of it?” I rambled with words, firing him several questions.“Right now, we have only one problem which is Mr. Sean.” He said skeptically.“What does Sean have to do in this matter?” I questioned him in disgust, raising an anxious brow.He walked closer to me. “Remember when you tried to convince and win your children over, what happened when Mr. Sean showed up?” He asked, staring a
The Billionaire's Regret 89. Full Squad, it's Payback Time
Leena's POV“Thank you for bringing this matter to the public. You only made this faster for me.” I shrugged, crossing my arms.“What do you mean?” He asked, staring at me in confusion.“Mr. James and I broke up four years ago and parted ways. I had his babies the following year and suddenly, he wants a second chance.” I paused.“My children don't want him and I'm unwilling to take him back as my husband. As we speak, this case is already in court.” I looked directly at the camera.“Please, everyone should ask Mr. James to stay away from me and my children. We don't want a husband or a daddy in our lives!” I said, controlling my temper.My eyes fell on the ring on my finger and I smirked.“Besides, I'm married to another man. Doesn't he know when to give up?” I asked in mockery, flashing my hand to everyone as the reporters and paparazzi took pictures and recorded the event.“Leena!” He looked annoyed and disappointed.“I have warned you and the next time you try to approach me again,
The Billionaire's Regret 90. Second Chances
Leena's POV“Do you think that after all these years, you can still hide your secrets from me?” I curled my lips, staring at them as they trembled frantically.“What do you want from us? You have gotten everything we have, do you want to see us die before you become satisfied?” Jane asked me curtly, she looked so annoyed and angry.She always loved being on people's toes and as I was trampling her parents and reminding them of their place, it only irked her.“I know what you did and you know you can't hide from it,” I said as I slowly approached them.The place was airtight and very spacious. They must have done a lot in this building as it looked like a completely different mansion.This was where all their money had been entering. When I was young, I would always see different kinds of furniture and material sent into my stepmother's room but none came out and whenever I entered her office based on permission or peeped, I wouldn't see anything.I sometimes thought that she had sold
The Billionaire's Regret 91. Hostility
Leena’s POV “Ma’am, here it is.” The waitress said, handing a flash drive to me. I was reluctant to take it from her because I was afraid.Was I trying to know too much?It was men’s nature to cheat, what if I get hurt more than I could carry?I pushed these thoughts aside as I became anxious to know what had really been going on behind my back.“Thank you.” I received it, flashing her a warm smile.I stood there for a few minutes, hoping he would rush out or something but my hope crumbled when the elevator remained as it was.Rather I turned and saw the waitress still standing beside me.“Are you not leaving?” I asked her cryptically.“Or do you have more things to tell me?” As much as I sounded annoying, I asked, raising an anxious brow and she shook her head.“No. I was hoping you would…” She trailed off with a short chuckle then I knew what she wanted.I dipped my hand into my small purse and brought out a fifty-dollar bill.“Thanks again.” And without waiting, I stormed out of th
The Billionaire's Regret 92. Is it too Late to say Sorry?
Leena's POV“I rushed down here as soon as I got your call.” He said impatiently as he took his seat across from me on the table. I shrugged, pulling my purse.“Thank you for coming,” I mumbled as though I wasn't comfortable.For the first time, words felt so hard to construct and escape from my mouth.I didn't know how to start and what he might classify me as but somehow, I needed to say something and not keep him wondering in silence.“So, is there a problem? I mean you wouldn't call if there is none.” He commented and I smirked.“It's about my children and me.” I began skeptically.He adjusted closer to the seat. “I'm all ears, please speak.” His eyes clouded with anxiety as he spoke.Was he this anxious to claim his children back?Right now, I couldn't fall for his trap as he wasn't any different.“We are accepting you back into our lives.” I spilled bluntly and his eyes widened in disbelief.“Really? Don't joke with me!” He asked impatiently and I nodded.“Yes but will you let m
The Billionaire's Regret 93. Daddy for a Day
James' POVImmediately after I received her text message, I went straight to the address she sent without sorting my schedule or bothering about any other things.“[Leena: Come to the address below. This is our new home.]”Inwardly, I knew the reason she moved out was because of Sean but I couldn't tell what exactly he did to her nor would she ever confide in me and spill the beans.I also wished it would be the last time they crossed paths with each other so I could have freedom with my kids.I felt so giddy and anxious as I stepped on the throttle as I couldn't waste more time on the road. I didn't know when she might change her mind again because she had suddenly turned unpredictable.My phone started ringing and I picked up the call, connecting it to my earphones.“Boss.” It was Harry and he sounded anxious.“Yes?” I didn't hear his voice. “Umm, I took off early without letting you know, hope that isn't a problem,” I asked rhetorically.“Of course it is, boss.” He sighed sadly. “Y

James' POV“If you keep staring that way, your eyes might fall off.” She called my attention back as I slowly faced her.“I didn't expect him to be here so fast,” I muttered nervously.“You shouldn't concern yourself with that.” She shunned me as we walked upstairs.She led the way, heading to our son's bedroom.“Well, don't you think it's ridiculous that you are keeping two men to yourself?” I asked sarcastically and she stopped before the door, blocking my path.“I have nothing with Sean. We are done.” She said seriously.“Then, why was he here?” I asked anxiously, curling my lips.“To beg, just like you did and is still doing.” She said, obviously mocking me and I smirked.“I know I begged for this chance at least my begging paid off.” I rolled my eyes.“What if his begging pays off just like yours?” She curled her lips with a sharp scoff and I felt like she was teasing me.I smirked.“I won't give him that chance,” I said under my nose, knowing fully well that she heard me.“Let's
The Billionaire's Regret 95. Shadows
James’ POVThe fact that she really wanted me to stay but I couldn’t annoy me the most. Things were slowly getting steamy between us if Harry hadn’t called and I knew it was an emergency else he wouldn’t have sent such a message.“What do you mean by the message you sent earlier?” I asked him anxiously as I increased the car's speed. My eyes were also fixed on the road.“I can’t predict your stepmother but you know better what she can do especially to startle your father up,” Harry explained skeptically on the phone.“It’s alright. Stay alert. I will give you a call if need be.” I said seriously on the phone.“Boss, are you heading to the family house right now?” He asked courteously.“Yes, it’s high time that I do.” And with that, I ended the call.I arrived at the family mansion and curbed my car at the parking space. I saw familiar cars already parked and I knew who had those.I rushed into the mansion and saw my stepmother and her sons discussing with my father in the living room.

“[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

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!
