The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 43
Pennelope's POVA small smile appeared on my face as I read the message Ethan sent me a second ago.I did not know who texted him while we were at the kitchen and why did he have to leave after breakfast, but I guess it was something important. Maybe it is about work?Me;There is no mosquito in my house, Ethan. I feel insulted that you think we have mosquitoes here.I smirked before clicking the send button for Ethan. He was acting like a baby and asking me to always check my surroundings, as he does not want anyone or anybody to touch me. He really even had the guts to include mosquitoes in our topic right now! Which I think sounds ridiculous.I rolled my eyes at his possessiveness. However, I could not understand myself, but deep inside, I am starting to love this side of him—clingy, possessive, and dominant.Oh, gosh! I should be complaining about his behavior, right? But well, it is making me a little bit turned on.My phone's screen lit up, and I saw that a message from Ethan
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 44
Jessie laughed hard at what I said, causing Jared to look at us with confusion written in his eyes. "What's funny, Dada?" he asked as he looked up at us. He had already stopped sketching, and his focus is now on us.Great, Jessie!Jessie gave me a nervous look, but I only smirked at him. "Ah! Nothing, Jared. Your mother and I are just talking about something. She told me a joke, and it was so funny, which is why I burst out laughing.""May I know what joke it is, Dada?"Jessie laughed. "Oh, it is not for kids, Jared. Do not worry; once you finish your sketches there, Dada will tell you some jokes. Is that alright?"Jared thought about it for a couple of seconds before he nodded his head. "Alright, Dada!" Then he goes back to his sketch pad again.Jessie covered his mouth and chuckled as he took a glance at me. I glared at him and bumped his shoulder."Ouch," he mouthed, even though I knew it did not hurt that much."Why are you laughing? I told you we are going to the Gala, and you
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 45
Ethan's POVI have never been as jealous as before. She had already explained to me countless times that that fucking man was just his friend. However, every time I think of the days and nights that they were together, at the times I should have been the one who was beside her, I cannot help but feel envious of him.I gulped and clenched my jaw as I hardened my hold on the steering wheel of my black limousine. You are an asshole for thinking this way, Ethan. You left her, remember? You left her the day she needed you most, so why are you complaining now? I have no right to complain.I let out a deep sigh of relief as I parked my car in the parking lot of her house. The securities let me because they already know who I am. My brows furrowed when I got to see another car that was parked beside one of Penny's cars.So maybe this is that fucking man's car, huh?Tss.I shook my head as I walked quickly toward the house. If only I could make Penny and Jared live with me in my house, I thi
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 46
Pennelope's POVMy mouth was left wide apart, and I was not really sure if I really heard him right. Ethan Falcon is admitting he is jealous. Really?The shock in my face alters to a smirk formed in my lips. "Am I hearing you right?" I tried to stop myself from chuckling because I could sense he was feeling embarrassed right now. And the last thing I want him to think is that I am making fun of him. In fact, I just cannot believe that he's admitting this to me right now.He pouted his red lips, then avoided my eyes with his eyebrows creased with each other. This time, I cannot stop myself from chuckling anymore."You really are jealous?" I asked with a slight chuckle.I held his face and tried to turn it to me, but he's stubborn! He keeps on avoiding my eyes!Aww! My baby is having his tantrums, huh?I want to tease him, but I think this is not the right time for that. "You're making fun of me," he whispered, still avoiding my eyes. I do not know why, but I can feel my heart full.
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 47
Pennelope's POV"It's been a long time! I missed you so much, Ethan," Elyse said, not minding if my son and I were around him. I do not understand where this woman gets her guts to still show her face to us after everything that she has done.I held Jared's hand tightly to stop myself from saying bad words to this woman. I do not want my son to witness such awful scenes as this. The last thing I want to happen is for him to have a bad day today."I'm always visiting you in your office and even in your house! However, Tito Daniel informed me you're not living in your house anymore." She continued to interrupt us, like everything she is saying is so important."Mom, dad, what is that woman doing in here?"I immediately took a glance at Jared when he asked that. His forehead creased, and the confusion playing in his eyes was evident.Before I could say anything to Jared, Ethan instantly carried Jared in his arms. "Do you want to go inside already, son? So that you can choose the design
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 48
Pennelope's POVWe watched Frank and his daughter, Rose, leave for their area. I sighed when they lost in our eyes. My urge to confront Ethan right now is so strong that I have to control myself firmly to hold on to my mind and not give in to my feelings. Because I know that once I let my emotions take over, I might say words that I will surely regret. "Let's go-" I stopped talking when I saw that Ethan was not beside me anymore! And I saw that he's already talking with the manager of this hotel!Damn!Don't tell me he is using his influence and power for us just to get an area here?"Mommy, I want to eat here,"I was about to go and stop Ethan from what he was doing, but when I heard my son say it with his lips pouted and eyes saddened, I suddenly felt guilty. "I'm already hungry, mom," he added.I let out a deep sigh and caressed his face, then I nodded my head."But baby, private areas are currently full in here. Will you be able to wait just a little time until others are finish
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 49
Ethan's POVI was never taken away from you, baby. I was never taken away by anybody else but you. I was yours. And I will always be. I will fight for you. I will do everything, whatever it takes me. I am sure of that. I remember someone who promised me the same thing. I remember him..."Ethan, everything will be okay, hmm? Don't worry, brother. It will pass soon." My elder brother, Killian, whispered to me as he embraced me tightly. I looked at him with worry and fear in my eyes. "I'm scared they will divorce soon." My voice broke as tears started to form around my eyes. "Shh, they won't. They love each other. Let's believe in their love, hmm? They will remain intact because they love each other. They married each other, so I am sure they love each other." He gave me a small smile, even though I can see in his eyes that he is worried too.At the young age of 8, I have already witnessed different things. In our house, it is full of cursing, shouting, and the breaking of glasses an
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 50
Ethan's POVHe ran to me immediately, then hugged me. He embraced me like he didn't hear what I just said. He embraced me... and tried to protect me against our mother after every word I said."Don't beg, Ethan! You don't need to do that!" His voice screams pain, and I know that when I speak, I will be mirroring his pain.I remained silent; I didn't answer him. I just cried there and continued sobbing, even with my brother already comforting me. He's whispering words after words to me, but I can't focus on him anymore. I just wanted to get out of this. I just don't want to be with our mother. I want to stay in here.Thinking of my promise to Killian, I feel guilty that I am ready to trade my brother just so my mother won't take me. I feel guilty... because I am ready to sacrifice everything and everyone just for myself. Just to achieve what I want in life.Peace.Am I selfish for doing it?I just want to get out of the noise of cursing, shouting, and breaking glasses and plates. I jus

The Billionaire's Regret Epilogue
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
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 64
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
The Billionaire's Regret Chapter 59
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
