The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 13
I didn't have any idea that he's the new shareholder! I gave my secretary a deadly look, but he just smiled at me like it's no problem at all! Well, I understand him because he doesn't know about Ethan Falcon. But he could've just told me about some details about the new shareholder!And why is Elyse letting her husband come here and invest in the company of her husband's ex-wife? She should be locking him in her arms, right? Isn't she fucking jealous?When Ethan saw me approaching him, his eyes widened, and there was amusement in his face. My steps are slow, primitive, and elegant. I made sure that I had no emotion on my face as he looked at me. He could've noticed that the chair in which he's sitting is preferred for me. He stood up just as I got to his front.He smirked at me; amusement was written on his face. "You can now take your seat, my queen."I almost puked in the enderment that he uses! My cheeks burned because of embarrassment. It doesn't help that all shareholders and in

I ran to my office immediately, and when I entered the room, I saw my son holding his airplane toy and forcing it to fly in the air with his grumpy face. A sad smile escaped from my face as I watched him. He seems casual... like it is a normal day for him even though I know it isn't. I wonder what he is thinking right now? He has just seen and talked with his father. It may be too overwhelming for him."Why don't you play with the remote-controlled airplane toy, baby?" I interrupted his playing time.He turned to me, and he smiled a bit. He's neither shocked nor excited. There's no energy at all.I noticed how slow his walking is; not just like before, every time he sees me at the door of my office, he immediately runs to me and embraces me tightly. Today, it is different. Even though his lips are smiling, his eyes are telling me otherwise."What's wrong, baby?" I asked when he embraced me, a little bit worried because of his silence.He didn't answer and just shook his head. I caress

I went back to my seat after the call, still preoccupied with thinking that Ethan's fucking some model out there. I don't really care if he fucks around. I just can't help but be slightly pissed at him because he confessed to me that he still loves me! And now he is fucking some models already.Your decision not to accept him back is a good one, Pen. He has a past of being a cheater; why would I even be shocked that he can do these things? Tell someone that he loves her, then fuck some people around. Oh, fuck you, Falcon.Just don't fucking come to my company again, you fucking idiot! I don't want to see your face again!The next few working days, I tried not to call a meeting for all shareholders and investors. We are facing some huge proposals for projects, and they wanted to be updated on every progress that may occur, so I couldn't help but call a meeting some time, like today."Did you send Mr. Falcon an invitation mail?" I asked my secretary.He's standing in front of my table w

For a moment, I felt a tug on my heart when I saw his tears glistening in his eyes. But I stood still, despite the shaking and shuddering that I was feeling. I faced him with all my strength, trying to show him that I really had moved on.However, I can't stand still with his eyes weak and glistening because of tears. He lifted his clenched hands and put them on the wall, cornering both of my sides, ensuring that I have no side to turn to if I leave. He then bent down a little as he neared the side of my face, enough only to whisper in my ear."I can accept all your painful words, Pen. I can even accept all your hatred, and every time you shoo me away, even though I feel my heart hurting, I can keep up with it too. Because I love you."The three words coming out of his mouth ring a bell in my mind, recalling all the fucking he did in the past few weeks. That turned my eyes black and dark. I pushed him with all my strength and slapped him hard. His face turned on the other side because

"Jess! I have something to tell you!" I closed my eyes tightly as I leaned my back against the back of my room's door. The phone is in my ear, hearing Jess' laughter even if I haven't told him anything yet. I pressed my palm on my forehead and breathed deeply to soothe myself.I had just tucked Jared in his bed when I went straight to my room for this call. It is a good thing that Jess immediately answered my phone call."What is it?" Amusement can be heard from his voice.Walking to my bed and sitting on it, I groaned at Jess. I laid my half-body on the bed; my feet were hanging on the floor."Ethan told me that the name of the model is Eleanor!" I rolled my eyes when my mind recalled everything that had happened today. He chuckled, which made me irritated at him more. "You told me they stayed at the hotel for four days! Alone! But he informed me earlier that they didn't and they were not alone. They went in that hotel for just their lunch, and they were with their secretaries and at
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 18
Is it possible to let the person who once destroyed your life enter your life again for the second time? The probability that you will be destroyed and shattered is as high as the skies; however, why do we keep on accepting the people who we know could bring nothing but harm to our lives? Why do we keep on sacrificing our peace, in trade for uncertain and short-lived happiness?I don't know.Because if I do, I won't be replying to Ethan's message at me, allowing him to call me in the middle of the night, even after all that he had done to me."Hello," his husky voice conquered my ear so much that I almost fell asleep because of how peaceful it sounds.I cleared my throat and shifted in my seat. My heart is pounding my ribcage as I hear the sound of his deep and heavy breathing."Hi," I answered with my small voice. I was pinching my legs as I waited for him to talk; however, as the seconds passed without him talking and only breathing huskily, I think I just wanted us to stay this way
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 19
It's almost lunchtime when I finished all the proposals I needed to run a thorough check. I let out a deep sigh as I massaged my temple, closing my eyes and relaxing a bit, trying to concentrate and give myself a break for all the paperwork I had reviewed and signed today. When I opened my eyes, I caught a glimpse of another batch of papers under my table. Whispering my groan, I sighed heavily and stood up to avoid the piled papers."Are you okay, mom?" Jared's soft voice lingered in me as I massaged my hands as well as my fingers.I take a look at him, still sitting on the chair beside me, sketching different designs on his sketch pad. I smiled at him and nodded, showing him that everything was okay. He pouted and narrowed his eyes a bit, checking me from my head to my toe, analyzing if I was telling the truth that I was okay or not. In the end, he nodded his head and smiled a bit."It's lunch time. What do you want for lunch?" I asked, caressing his hair while taking a look at the d

"Bitch," she whispered, and tears started to form around her eyes. Watching my employees around, I gave them a knowing look, which made them immediately go back to work. On the other hand, Jason, who was looking troubled as he watched the two of us here, didn't know what to do.I sighed and calmly looked at Elyse, despite my heart burning with anger. I am not going to lose my dignity and class for this kind of woman. The last thing I want to see and hear is my name being dragged into this kind of issue. I am more than this, and I won't stoop that low to prove a point.I shook my head and turned my back at her, not saying anything, even though my heart was screaming for a million words."Miss, you can't..."I knew by now that Elyse was trying to follow me. I stopped Jason from completing his remark by raising my hand. I faced them and smiled assuringly at Jason, not minding Elyse, who was giving me a dead look and was trying to follow me inside. I don't care about her. Whatever she wan

Ethan's POV“I didn't expect you to come home today.” Pennelope whispered, caressing my naked body with her soft hands. I kissed her head and embraced her more. We are in the bathtub of her room and we have just finished making love.I missed her so much.“When I learned you are planning a party for your company's fourth anniversary, I wanted to surprise you. So I made sure I am present in your big event.”She lifted her head from lying on my chest. “How did you even know about the party?” She narrowed her eyes. I sighed and smirked. “Ethan!”I chuckled. “I'm sorry, I just can't stand getting no information about you so I made sure that all your men will report to me before I leave for Italy.”She groaned. “And I did not even know about it?”“You will not let it happen if you find out about it.” I ran my fingers on her arm down to her ring finger, where the ring I just gave her is on. “It really fits on your finger.” I whispered huskily.She laid her head on my chest again as we b
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 65
Pennelope's POVI saw and read it in the magazines multiple times. He was seen in a famous hotel in Italy with the same woman multiple times. So it is possible that he is already opening up his heart for someone. It hurts, yes. But I asked him this. So I don't have any choice but to accept whatever consequences it may cause me. The woman is a famous model here in the United States so maybe he really did not go to Italy for a business trip, huh? Maybe he went there for the both of them to date?I gulped and shook my head, trying to erase the thoughts running in my mind.It only took twenty minutes before we arrived at my company. Everyone greeted us with their big and warm smiles as we approached the hallway. Today is my company's fourth anniversary. And I am happy to celebrate it with my employees. The Spades together with David Falcon got jailed already. I don't know how it happened so quickly but they are sentenced for a lifetime imprisonment. I learned that Elyse is pregnant wi

Pennelope's POVOne call from Ethan and I felt all my blood go to my head. I immediately answered the phone with my trembling hands.“Ethan, w-what happened?” I asked nervously. I can hear his deep breathing from the other line, indicating that he's already tired. “He is already saved. I already found him,” he said with a husky voice.“Oh, god! Thank you! Where are you? Where is he? I'm going-”“He's unconscious…” he said, which cut me off.“What? Ethan, where are you? I'm going there! Ethan!”He told me the address of where he is right now together with Jared. It is the address of an Hospital. I don't know what to feel. I wanted to be happy and feel relieved because my son is already found, but I can't completely be happy knowing that he is unconscious now. Ethan did not let me drive my car. He asked one of his men to do the job for me. And although I wanted him to know that I could do it alone, I did not waste any more time. All I want is to see my son. All I want is to embrace
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 63
Ethan's POVHearing that, my sight darkened and all I wanna do right now is to go with the Spades and get my son back with us. I don't care about their lives anymore. I will kill for my son.I will kill just to save my son's life.I brought all my remaining men with me, having their weapons equipped within themselves. It's already dawn. Anytime soon now, the sun will rise, which means another day will start again. And I swear to all the heavens, all of this chaos will end before this day ends. I swear it. And if I swear, I only don't swear. I make it happen.The Spades mansion is big but not as big as the Falcon's mansion. They are surrounded by my men there. So it was easy for us to get informed about what was happening there. I took my guns and suppressed sniper rifle with me and wore my earpiece.“Are you sure you can do it by yourself? I can join you, Ethan.” Erman said with a worried tone.I clenched my jaw and tightened my grip on the gun. “No, I can do it. But always be ready,
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 62
Ethan's POVThe unending challenges are exhausting me. The pain throwing to my heart is killing me. But I have to bear the pain to fight back. Because I knew that everything would be worth it. Whatever I am doing and fighting for, I know it will be worth it. My family, Pennelope and Jared, is worth it. I ran my hands on the prepared and ready to use weapons in the headquarters. I know I promised my wife that I will not hurt any innocent people and I also promised that no one will die. However, I cannot promise we won't be using guns because this is not just about who is much powerful and has better connections, this is about who is smarter, who has the best idea, and who does not have weakness.I used to be called a heartless billionaire. I used to play fire with women everytime I wanted to take some steam off my body. I did not care about their feelings. I did not care about other people's feelings. Not until Pennelope came into my life.She changed my perspective about everything.
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 61
Pennelope's POVI am eager to end this. It has ruined beautiful things, turned special events into something horrific. Am I going to wait for further destruction before I end this?No. This has to end already. I do not know if Ethan already knows what Killian has said to me. Do I believe him? Not really, but hearing him out, telling me his explanations, I believe him at some point. Every word he said was full of sincerity.I know that he is good at faking things and this may just be his way to lure me… but I can feel that he is telling the truth. “Please answer the phone…” I whispered to myself as I wandered around the balcony. After the call I had with Killian, I immediately typed Ethan's phone number to call him. Unfortunately, he is not answering it. I have been calling him for the third time now and there was still no response. “Please…” Just as I said it, Ethan's baritone voice came on the other line.“Baby…” I knew it was him. I gulped and for a moment, I forgot the words
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 60
Pennelope's POVI do not know what's happening. The events occurred quickly. Ethan's men guided me to our car and they drove me back to our house, without Ethan with me. With my trembling hands, I took my phone out of my purse. Just like rain, continuous messages from different people popped out on my screen. I could not read all their messages one by one. Even Jessie has multiple messages on me but I did not try to read it. I went to a famous website platform, and I saw what Ethan was saying. Dalilah Spade, mother of Elyse Spade, is being interviewed by one of the most reliable and famous media outlets in the country. “We are still investigating everything. The Falcons are users. They used and involved my daughter in their crimes. And now, my daughter's life is being ruined because of Ethan Falcon. We thought they were married. We thought Ethan Falcon married our daughter. But it turned out, everything was just a lie.”I gulped as my heart knocked my chest hard and loud. “For five

Pennelope's POVEthan's explanation did not make me feel better. It did not ease the pain that I had felt back then or the betrayal I am feeling right now. I still feel... betrayed. I still feel... like I was a trash... easy to throw away and easy to forget. "Should I thank you then for s-saving my life?" My voice broke as I asked Ethan that question.No matter how hard I try to stop my tears from falling, I can't. They are flowing down like rainfall. It was easy for him to give up on me. It was easy for him to abide his family's want, just as easy as like that. He married me. He made a promise, and I kept it in my heart. But why did he let me go away? Why did he let me feel the pain I felt back then? Why did he let me go through all the pain I went through? His love was not enough to fight for me. His love was too shallow."B-Baby," he tried to hold my hand, but I shoved it away. I sobbed hard as I looked into his eyes. I glanced at his father, who's crying, and at Elyse, whose ey
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 58
Ethan's POVThe sound of water coming from the shower is so relaxing. Its cold breeze is calming my nerves, and it brings chills to my deepest bones inside.I do not usually experience it before, but now that I have seen Pennelope and have fallen in love with her again after five years, I suddenly feel the excitement of being alive. That day, I immediately called the leader of my men to find Pennelope. The excitement to see her again is so strong that I could not concentrate on work and could not take even a single nap. I need to see her again. I need to talk to her. And it may be wrong to say it, but I need to get her back. I need to win her back and bring her back into my life again. The five years of being tortured are already enough. Actually, I already gave up on finding Pennelope and having her back in my life again. Not because I do not love her anymore or because I do not want her in my life anymore. But rather because I knew that what I had done could not be forgiven. And ev
