The Billionaire's Regret The Arrival
Damien sat in his room, his eyes pale as usual. It was his best friend’s wedding, but he couldn’t share his happiness. How could he when his world was dark? It had been that way since she left four years ago. After countless failed efforts at finding her, Damien finally gave up and became a shell of himself. He was barely living, only surviving. One thing he did very well was drown himself in his work. It was the only thing that kept him alive. He also focused on it with all his might with the hope that it would take his mind off her. It didn’t work, of course. He stayed away from any public gatherings and even avoided his own family. To him, it was a way of punishing himself for what he did to her. But Eric was his friend, and his feelings didn’t matter. It was a joyous occasion, and so he wasn’t going to ruin it for Eric. So, he would attend the wedding and share in his friend’s joy. “I can’t believe you’re finally settling down, man. Your wife is something.” Damien said
The Billionaire's Regret Seeing Her
Damien thought his heart would explode as his hand touched her skin. He couldn’t believe that she was standing in front of him. After four whole years of looking for her, he was sure that she had escaped to another planet. But, she had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. “Harriet?” He breathed out, his heart pounding harshly against his chest as he looked into her eyes. “It is you. You are here. God, Harriet! How have you been?” He said with ragged breathing. “Where did you go, Harriet? I looked everywhere for you. Did you leave the country? Was that why I couldn’t find you?” He rapped, still holding her tightly. He was so excited to see her that he didn’t notice that she had been silent the entire time, only staring at him coldly. When she opened her mouth to speak, he could only focus on her voice, which he had missed for four years. “I’m sorry? Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to ask me these things, huh?” She said with a scoff, but Damien shook his head an
The Billionaire's Regret Meeting Him
Harriet was sick of all these drama and the scene was tiring. All she wanted to leave. She had come here to wish for and support her friend, but she had become the center of attraction because of Damien. Harriet turned to Tony, who had followed her down to New York from Paris, and gave him a reassuring look. “Fine. Let’s talk.” She told Damien, and a soft sigh left his lips, his eyes softening. Damien led her out of the hall, leaving Evelyn with her mouth hanging open. As they walked to the balcony, Damien’s mind was racing with questions. He didn’t know what question to ask first. He wanted to apologize first, but he didn’t know how she would feel about him talking about that incident. What the man just said made him even more confused. Who was the man and why was he calling her the mother of his children? “Jesus, Harriet. Are you married? You… already have children with that man?” He didn’t know when the words let him. Even though they were not the right thing to start a
The Billionaire's Regret They aren't yours!
Damien couldn’t believe how much Harriett had changed in just four years. He didn’t know what to believe anymore. Hearing the little girl who looked just like him call the strange man ‘ daddy ’ made him tremble as he feared that Harriett had remarried and given birth. But, the years weren’t adding up so Harriett was definitely hiding the truth from him. He opened his mouth to speak when Evelyn snuck up from behind and linked her arms together with his. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you, my love.” She wore a pretentious smile on her face to make Harriett jealous, little did she know that Damien was getting pissed off by her act instead. She turned to Harriett, acting like she had only just noticed her presence. “Harriett. So good to see you. I’m so happy for you, you know. You have a husband and two beautiful children. It seems like you were in the wrong marriage after all.” She smiled. When Damien heard the word ‘ husband ’ he looked at Harriett’s finger to see if sh
The Billionaire's Regret I am Sorry
Harriett was too busy with helping her children not make a mess of themselves that she didn’t see Damien walk to her table. It is only when she heard his voice that she realized that he was now standing before her.“We need to talk.” He said, ignoring the glare from Tony who was ready to pounce on him the second he tried touching Harriett.Harriett looked up at him and shook her head with a low sigh. “We have nothing to talk about.”“Do not make me create a scene, Harriett. Come with me while I am being nice.” Damien replied and Tony growled angrily from his seat and was about to give Damien a piece of his mind when Harriett reached out to him.“I’ll be fine. Take care of the them.” She said, referring to Addison and Adrian. She got up and let Damien lead the way as they both walked out of the hall. Immediately Evelyn saw this, she abandoned her wine and hurried after them to eavesdrop on their conversation. Damien led her to a secluded spot where he was sure it would be hard for Ton
The Billionaire's Regret Make her love again
The wedding finally came to an end and Harriett went back to her parent’s house with Tony. When she arrived, her mood was sour as she occasionally remembered her previous encounter with Damien.“How dare he come up to me when he is still with that woman.” Harriet grumbled, referring to Evelyn as she tucked her children to bed and retired to her room.While she laid on her bed, she tried forcing herself to sleep but it proved to be fruitless as she found her thoughts continuously drifting to her ex-husband. By the time she was finally able to sleep, it was already 12:45am.**“Su ji. Since it is Tony’s first time in New York after ten whole years, why don’t you show him around. I’m sure New York has changed a lot since the last time he was here.” Harriett’s mother suggested and Jake Edwards nodded in agreement.“Mum, please. It’s not like I’ve been here all along. You’re forgetting that I have been away for four years.” Harriett countered with a groan. “Oh, come on. Four years isn’t a
The Billionaire's Regret The Outing 1
“This park was my favorite when I was younger. I remember crying because Dad refused bringing me here on my thirteenth birthday.” She laughed as they walked through a lively park. Tony joined her and laughed at her silliness. Throughout their outing, his eyes were glued to her face, watching as her eyes gleamed whenever she saw somewhere familiar. They had driven around the city and it was already 4pm and he could see that she was already getting worried that she had left her children for too long. So, he quickly placed a call to her mother.“Hey, Aunt.” He greeted and Harriett looked at him, wondering why he was calling her mother. “Are you with the twins? How are they?” He asked. Firstly because he genuinely cared about them and secondly because he wanted Harriett to relax and enjoy the outing.“Goodness, Tony. They are with Jake right now getting ice cream. How’s the date going?” She asked and Tony had to hurriedly reduce his phone’s volume when she got to the last part.
The Billionaire's Regret The Challenge
Harriett retouched her makeup in the restroom and took a deep breath, reminding herself that she had no business caring about who Damien was with. “I see you’re still not over Damien.” The overly familiar voice of Evelyn boomed through the walls and Harriett rolled her eyes as soon as she saw her standing by the door. Deciding to be the mature one, Harriett remained quiet and continued with her business. Evelyn clenched her fists and walked closer to her until she was sure Harriett could no longer ignore her. “Damien doesn’t love you, Harriett. He never did and he never will. I hope this sinks into your stupid brain.” Evelyn continued and Harriett couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped her lips as she put her lip gloss into her purse and turned her full attention to her. “Is that your insecurity speaking?” She smiled sweetly but her eyes were filled with terror. “You know so well that I have made no approach on Damien since I returned. Instead, he has been the one running after

“She is all by herself, boss. This is the perfect time to take her. Give us the order and consider it done.” One of the men said into the phone with his eyes still glued to Lily as she headed back to the hospital on foot.A sigh was heard from the line, a sign of hesitation from Louis and one of the men concluded that Louis wouldn’t be able to give the order since Lily was his ex-girlfriend. So, he gave a sign to the man who was on the call with him, telling him to go ahead with the initial plan regardless of what Louis instructs.“What is your conclusion, boss?” The man asked, hoping Louis would go ahead with the plan but, there was still hesitation from him so, they decided to end the call and kidnap Lily before she was completely out of sight.They left their hiding place and began approaching Lily but just as they were about to get close to her, Tony came out of nowhere and wrapped his hands around her, oblivious to what was about to happen. The men immediately took a U-turn and r

“Also, the man she is with now is Tony Martinez, the owner of TM Hospital.”At the mention of Tony’s name, a frown appeared on Mehdi’s face as he visibly tensed up. “Tony Martinez?” He asked again to be sure Louis didn’t make a mistake.“Are you sure?”“Yes, Draco. I have seen him in person myself.” Louis replied and Mehdi gritted his teeth in anger.Tony was no stranger to him. He had received a lot of donations from Tony and had even given his donations to Tony’s hospital. He had exchanged pleasantries with him at various events, parties, and award ceremonies so, he knew that Tony was a patriotic citizen who frowned at corruption.If Louis’s girlfriend opens her mouth and reveals his secret to Tony, he is sure he and his gang will be done for.Draco let out a long sigh, his face hardening as he processed the information he had just received. “I know Tony Martinez alright. We’ve met a few times. Events, awards, parties… and I can tell you this, he is a fucking poster boy for patrioti

“Martin is back, and he wants you at the hideout immediately. I think Drogo heard about the shootout you ordered.” Louis’s throat went dry, and he felt his heart jump out of his chest as he listened to the last part. He wasn’t as brave as he was when he ordered the shootout before getting confirmation from Martin, who was his superior. “H-how the fuck did that happen? Did anyone snitch?” He asked in an unstable voice. “No one needed to, man. It’s all over the news and everyone knows that you and Martin control this district. If Martin didn’t order the shootout, it means you did. It’s quite obvious.” The man over the phone replied. “Shit!” he exclaimed. “Come quickly. Drogo is angry.” The man said, and ended the call, leaving Louis to wallow in fear. He quickly put on his jacket, threw his phone into one of his pockets , grabbed his wallet and dashed out of his apartment. As he drove to the hideout, he searched his mind for a suitable lie that would get him out of the

“Stay with me tonight,” Lily whispered, clutching Tony’s arms like he would disappear if she let him go. “You want us to spend the night together. Are you sure about this?” Tony asked, a small smile making its way to his lips. Lily was always running from him and avoiding times like this, but here she was suggesting that they spend the night together. Lily’s eyes widened, and her cheeks reddened as she finally understood his words. “I didn’t mean it like that!” She gasped, letting go of his hands and shaking her head to get rid of the obscene thoughts. Seeing her flushed face, Tony laughed. “I was only teasing you, Lily. I know you didn’t mean it in that way.” He clarified, chuckling at her. He then brought his fingers to her face and caressed her cheek, his eyes holding sincerity. “That doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen one day and believe me, Lily, that day is near.” He whispered as his thumb brushed her lip and Lily’s breath hitched, butterflies erupting in her bel

“I…I think I should head upstairs.” Lily said quietly, breaking the piercing silence. Tony immediately turned to her, wanting to reach out to her and hold her in his arms.“Wait!” Rachael called out before Lily stood up and grabbed her hand calmly. “You know I have nothing but love for you in my heart, right?” She asked, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and frustration.Lily moved her lips to give a reply but no words came out.“I care about you just as much as Tony does,” Rachael said and shook her head, deciding to rephrase her sentence. “Okay, maybe not as much as Tony but I do care for you. I want you to be safe and I want you to be happy but, not at the expense of my brother’s life.” Rachael said with tears in her eyes.She wasn’t going to let her brother make a decision that could end his life as long as she was alive, even if it meant taking Lily out of his life. All she wanted was her brother’s safety.She had only known Lily for a few weeks after all. She wasn’t going t

Later that day, Lily and Tony finally clocked out of the hospital after what was the most stressful day for Lily since she resumed. Her emotions were on a rollercoaster and so were her hands and feet as she was assigned to a doctor to help with the massive inflow of critical patients.A large number of nurses and doctors were staying through the night to watch the patients but, Tony knew that Lily wasn’t in the right state of mind to have an all-nighter at the hospital so, he spoke to Dr. Lorey and had another nurse take her place.“She isn’t feeling well, Lorey, and the last thing I’d want is for her health to deteriorate. I am sorry that I’m doing this when the hospital needs all the hands it can get.” He apologized.“I understand, Tony. I saw her at the emergency ward and she looked like she would fall at any minute. I was going to tell you to take her home. I’m sure the others will understand.” Dr Lorey said with a warm smile and Tony thanked her before leaving to get Lily who was

“I have something to tell you!” They choruses at the same time, surprising each other. “You go first.” Tony decided to be a gentleman and hear what she had to say first but, Lily was too curious about his information to let things be. “No. Let me hear what you have to say first.” She countered, hoping to buy some time for herself. Shaking his head in refusal, Tony pressed. “You go first, Lily. Don’t worry, I won't chicken out.” He added with a reassuring smile. After a few seconds, Lily nodded and decided to go first. “I…” She started but was interrupted by Tony. “Wait! I don't think it's wise to do this here.” He said, looking around. “Come with me.” Tony grabbed her hand and led her to his office, ignoring the stares from some of the nurses. Lily didn’t care anymore about what others had to say or their judgmental stares, not when her life was in danger. She just wished that the nurses would pay more attention to their critical patients rather than prying into her and T

Unknown Number: [You have one week, Lily.]With shaky hands, Lily dropped her phone to the ground and clasped her hands around her mouth, stopping her screams from leaving the room. She didn’t need anyone to tell her who the sender was.There was only one person on the face of the earth who could threaten her in such a gruesome manner.Louis Moreau.Suddenly, all Lily could hear was the screams coming from the emergency ward which was filled with people who had been victims of the gang shooting and all she could think of was Louis’s text.“Did he do that just to send a warning to me?” She thought in a shaky breath and her heart hammered against her chest, almost as if it would explode.“Did so many people die just because of me? Am I responsible for these cries of agony?” Hot tears trickled down her cheeks as the realization dawned on her.Louis was willing to do anything to get her back even if it meant killing a hundred people.This made her realize that he could hurt Tony or even R

“Lily. She is the connection I have with them. Her ex-boyfriend is a member of the gang.” Tony revealed with a straight face, awaiting Dr Raph’s reply. A few seconds pass and nothing is heard from him but just as Tony opens his mouth to speak again, Dr Raph finally speaks up. “What?!” He yells, loud enough for anyone who is outside the office to hear. “What the fuck did you just say?” “Quiet down, Man. This is an office.” Tony scolded, shaking his head but Dr Raph was not having it. Not when he had just dropped a bomb that could affect him and the entire hospital if not handled properly. “Don’t fucking tell me to calm down, Tony. Don’t! How the fuck did you get involved with a girl like that?” The words left his mouth before he could caution himself. Tony immediately shot him a harsh glare and he immediately cleared his throat before rephrasing his sentence. “Don’t get me wrong, Tony. Lily is a nice and hardworking girl. I have seen that but, she was dating a gang member! Doesn’t
