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

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

Ethan's POVThe only way to move forward is to forget and start over. And part of it is forgetting about my brother. And acting like I am the only Falcon in the family."Soon, we will find Killian. For now, you need to study and ace everything, Ethan. You are the next owner of the Falcon empire, so you have to prove yourself to me that you deserve it." Daddy said to me one time we had a dinner together. I simply nodded my head. "Yes, dad," I coldly answered.I did not know how to smile again. It seemed like I had already forgotten it too, just like how I forgot my brother. Almost every night, I am haunted by the past. I could not sleep at night. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was Killian crying while telling me that I had betrayed him. Even in my dreams, he's all I can think about.I got what I wanted. There was no noise anymore. Our house was quiet, and there was no shouting, cursing, or breaking of glasses and plates anymore. I thought this was the real meaning of pea

Ethan's POVIt had been my way to relax myself and fight stress; it was sex. Some wanted to be in a relationship with me, but every time they would ask me that terrible question, I would just raise my eyebrow and silently decline them.I could not understand why women needed to have a relationship with me when all I wanted was to fuck. Most of them are believers in love, like it was some kind of spell that they got cast with, and they can't get away from the trance of that magic."Where are you going?" Alysa, my classmate in one of my subjects in college, asked me. I glanced at her and raised an eyebrow at her. She was still on the bed, and she was wrapped in the cushion of the hotel we checked into. I shook my head at her and put my pants back, put my belt on, and then locked it. I took my white polo and wore it, then buckled its buttons. "Ethan, I am asking you. Are you not going to cuddle with me?" She said in a soft voice. I could see from the side of my eyes that she stood up

Pennelope's POVThe days passed by too quickly. Ethan and I never talked about it again, even if I think we have to settle most of our problems. I may hate to admit it, but since the last time we talked, there has already been a barrier between us. A barrier that, when we do not destroy it, will soon destroy us.I have realized that we will never be happy if we do not talk about what happened in the past. I did not know what happen about his relationship with Elyse. After he asked me to leave him and divorce our marriage five years ago just so he could be with the only woman he loved, Elyse, he came into my arms and asked me back again. I could not understand those things, which is why his father, David Falcon, told me that he was only after Jared. I could not understand everything. And just because I loved Ethan too much, I was ready to give up everything just so I could be with him. I was ready to just set aside all of my questions about the past because I loved him.But it was wr

Pennelope's POVThe performance of the masscott has already started. Instead of watching the Masscott perform, my eyes are focused on my son, and I could not help but smile widely because of how happy he was. After the performance, we are guided to our table, which is already near our visitors' tables. Jared went back to us, still wearing his wide smile. "Did you enjoy it, baby?" I asked him as we walked to our table. He lifted his eyes at me and nodded happily. "Yes, mom! My friends liked it too!" he laughed, which made me smile even more."Ethan!" A familiar politician went to greet him, then he tapped Ethan's shoulder. "Is this your idea? My grandson enjoyed the theme! And he really enjoyed the performance a while back!"Ethan chuckled then glanced proudly at Jared. "No, Mr. Lucidro. It was actually my son, Jared, who chose the design for his birthday celebration." Ethan answered with wide smile, like he was ready to shout it to the whole world that it was Jared who chose the d

Pennelope's POVEthan immediately stood up from his seat. The crowd starts to whisper and gossip around, also shocked about what Elyse has said. My heart is starting to beat fast as I clench my jaw out of frustration.I have stopped myself from getting back on Elyse many times after everything that she has done to me. But this time, to ruin my son's day, was the worst. I could not take this anymore. I glanced at the table near us, where Jared's nanny was sitting. It seemed like she was just waiting for me to signal her to come here because, when she saw me glancing at her, she immediately stood up from her seat and came to us."Please take Jared with you to go back to the house first. Ethan's men will guide you outside the hotel," I told his nanny. She nodded at me nervously. "Y-Yes, mom."I kneeled down and kissed Jared's cheek. He looked confused, burned out, and tired. And I know for sure that he could not take all of these anymore. My son is still young, and although he is smart

Ethan's POV Did I just marry Pennelope because I wanted to own the Falcon Empire all by myself alone? Am I deserving to be her husband? Watching her cry every night since our marriage kills my heart. I cannot focus on working. My father had started transferring everything to me in my own name, but I cannot find any reason to be happy. This was what I wanted, right? This was what I desired in the beginning. But why do I feel like my soul, my life, has been taken away from me just by watching my wife cry? And it was because I loved her. I love her so much that it kills my heart everytime I see her hurt. I love her so much more than I could love anyone."I love you, Pennelope. I love you so much," I whispered at her one night after we made love. I promised myself I would never hurt her. I would never let anyone hurt her. I do not think I can handle it if she ever feel pain. Nobody is going to hurt her. From the moment I married her, from the moment I gave her my name, she will fore

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

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
