The Billionaire's Regret Hope
Harriet ran with the nurses who were carrying Damien’s body out of the building, her legs moving swiftly even though her mind was completely blank. Uncontrollable tears kept falling from her eyes as she stared at Damien’s body which was already covered with blood. Even after doing her best to stop the bleeding at the building, it didn’t work as it kept gushing out nonstop. She was scared that he would die as he had been shot really close to his heart. She joined the nurses in the ambulance and for the first time in a long time, Harriett started muttering prayers to God. The nurses began the process of stopping the bleeding while they were still in the ambulance, driving at an impossible speed to the hospital.They knew that Damien Daniels was a VIP patient and his life had to be saved. Eric who had come with the police, was in a state of confusion. He didn’t know if it would be a wise idea to call his parents. But then, it’s Damien Daniels, one of the most popular men in New York.

Evelyn quickly packed her things, preparing to leave her house as the police could come to get her at any minute. She needed to hide for a few days. After the call ended, it dawned on her that it was Damien’s friend, Eric who had used the kidnapper’s phone to give her a call. “Fuck!” She screamed as she threw her jewelries into a box. Evelyn’s frustration was killing her. She had no idea what had happened but from the phone call, she knew that the kidnapper had been arrested. If only she didn’t call his line.. She thought about calling Damien but after much thought, she realized that it would be stupid to call him as he was probably aware of the situation. Could this really be the end for her? * * It had been one week since the incident and Damien was still in a coma. Harriett had been spending most of her time in the hospital, only going home to check up on her children and get change of clothes. Thomas Daniels had successfully managed to keep the news of Damien’s incident

“What are you doing?” Harriett looked at Damien suspiciously as she entered the hospital room. Eric had been in for so long that she was starting to feel uneasy so, she decided to check in on them. When walked in, she saw Damien trying to get off the bed while Eric was trying to remove the IV from his hand. As soon as both men saw her, they immediately paused, both looking like children who had been caught stealing ice cream from the fridge.“Harriett..” Damien spoke up, his voice cracking as he wondered if she had heard their conversation. He accessed her face just to be sure and from the look on it, he concluded that she didn't.“Do not ‘ Harriett ’ me. What do the both of you grown men think you are doing?” She walked up to the both of them with her hands on her waist like she was their parent.“Well… I was just checking this cool thing out.. I have no idea what he was doing.” Eric immediately defended, throwing his hands up in the air. Damien turned to his friend and raised a brow,

“Have you finally gone mad, Beth?” Her partner asked with his brows creased. “Why would Tony ever think of supporting you? You kidnapped his lover, remember? The man probably wants to kill you.” He said but Evelyn shook her head. “He hates me, that’s for sure. But, he hates the idea of not being with Harriet more.” She smirked evilly. “The man is in love with Harriet and will do anything to be with her. That, my love is what I plan on using.” She said and things were finally starting to make sense to him. “Don’t tell me your plan is to-” “You’re finally thinking!” She patted his head and let out a loud laughter. “My plan is pretty simple. He wants Harriett, I want Damien… his wealth and name to be precise but, you know what I mean. We both want the same thing so why not team up and get what we both want. It might take some time but, I’m sure he’ll come around.” She finished up with a kiss on his lips and danced happily to her room. Little did she know that Tony was the same man

“You have no say in this, Damien. You’re staying with us until you’re fully recovered and that’s final.” Stacy said. The doctors had discharged Damien from the hospital, although he still had a bandage wrapped around his chest because of his wound. No matter how much Harriett wanted him to stay until his wound was full healed, the man wouldn’t listen as his body itched to get back to work. Damien knew that there was no need fighting with his mother on the topic as her mind had already been made up. But, an idea came to his mind. “Fine. I’ll come with you… on one condition.” He said with a corky smile as his eyes drifted to Harriett who was standing by the side. “Harriett spends the weekend with the kids.” He said, secretly crossing his fingers and praying that she would agree. “W-what?” Harriett’s eyes widened and her cheeks reddened. She couldn’t imagine spending the weekend with Damien and his family. It would bring back old memories that she had worked so hard to forget. “I-I

When Damien heard Harriett say those words at the breakfast table, his heart jumped out of pure excitement. He was happy that she was finally beginning to let go of the past. All he needed now was to get her forgiveness and win her trust. “I thought about what room you’d sleep in and I decided to give you a separate room from the kids. That way, we won’t invade your privacy because we certainly won’t leave our grandkids for a single minute.” Stacy said once they were done with the breakfast. Her first thought was for Harriet and Damien to share a room but her husband, Thomas made her realize that she was moving too fast. Even though the two had children together, they weren’t married and their relationship needed a lot of patching up. “Thank you, Mother. They are your grandchildren. You can spend as much time as you want with them.” She laughed. “Who wants to go out with Daddy today?” Damien asked and little Adrian immediately started jumping happily on his seat, clapping his hands

“Adrian. I thought you were out of the country.” Harriett smiled awkwardly. She could sense the tension between the brothers and a part of her knew that she was the cause. “I returned an hour ago. I was missing my family.” Adrian replied with a smirk, shifting his gaze to Damien who was staring at him like he wanted nothing more than to pounce on him. “I finally get to meet my namesake. Should I just call you Adrian Junior? You already look so much like me.” Adrian said, going over to Harriett. He stretched his hands out to little Adrian but he hid himself in his mother’s neck instead.He wasn't wrong. Little Adrian did share a resemblance with him but that was only because he was Damien's brother. “He doesn’t know who you are, brother. Don’t push your luck. Also, my son looks nothing like you.” Damien replied with gritted teeth. The air suddenly got thick and the tension between the two brothers was starting to make the environment unbearable for the others present. “Why don’t yo

“Dad? Mum called. She said there’s an emergency.” Damien said as he entered his father’s study. Thomas Daniels was seated in front of his computer with his glasses on, completely immersed in his work. As Damien announced his presence, he shut his laptop down and faced his son. “Sit, son.” He gestured to the seat that was directly opposite him. “I’m sure you have met your brother already.” Thomas cleared his throat. He didn’t want to ruin the weekend but he needed to update Damien on the recent happening so he could be alert. “Adrian has decided to move to New York, permanently.” Thomas announced and Damien’s jaw ticked in annoyance. “He wants to become CEO for the headquarters which is the same thing as taking ownership of the company.” He revealed and Damien couldn’t hide the shock on his face. Adrian was really crossing his boundaries. “I haven’t given him an answer, if that is what you are worried about. But, I just might. Over the past month, you have been busy with your fami

“What just happened?” Rachael said as soon as he walked out. She had been eavesdropping on their conversation for a while. Not that you could blame her. They were being extremely loud so she didn’t even have to try. “Not now, Rachael.” He groaned, dragging his feet to the minibar. “Don’t walk away from me, Tony. Not after what just happened!” She scolded, pulling him back by his arms. She stepped in front of him and let out a frustrated sigh, running her hand through her hair. “I swear, you both stress the fuck out of me.” She hissed. “Listen, I don’t care what she did to you, all I know is that she’s not leaving this house. You’re acting rashly because you’re angry. When you calm down, you’re going to hate yourself so, you’re going to take a break in my room and have a long nap while I speak to Lily. When you wake up, you can speak to her again. At least you’ll be a lot calmer then.” She said, rubbing the side of his arms assuringly. Tony groaned but succumbed and walked away, st

After his conversation with Rachael, Tony returned to Lily but she was nowhere to be found. The sound of running water in the bathroom informed him that she was having a shower. He then decided to leave so that she could have some privacy but, as he was about to leave, his phone rang.Looking at the caller, his jaw tightened in anger.It was Louis.After a few rings, he picked up but said nothing, waiting for him to speak.“Tony! I have great news.” He started and Tony hummed, walking out of Lily’s room as he didn’t want her knowing he was involved with Louis.“I just had a meeting with Mehdi.” Tony paused in his tracks and he wondered if he had judged Louis wrongly.Was he really going to tell him about his conversation with Mehdi? If that was the case then, Louis might not be as bad as he thought.“Really? What was it about?” He asked, now in his room. He shut the door and sat at the edge of the bed, listening attentively to Louis.“Well, I managed to get on his good books once aga

Tony sat on his bed, his AirPods plugged in and Lily sleeping peacefully on his lap. He had been making plans on how to bring Mehdi to justice with the help of Louis when his phone beeped, telling him that Louis was on the move. He initially ignored it as Louis was always on the move but when he saw where his location was, he took out his AirPods and listened in on their conversation.At first, he thought it was a part of Louis’s plan to help him out and probably get something on Mehdi but, as he listened in, he realized that he was wrong.Louis was betraying him a few hours after their conversation.Not that he didn’t expect it. Men like Louis weren’t to be trusted and he knew that. The only reason he was too bothered initially was because he knew he had Louis’s phone tapped so if he tried to deceive him, he would already be aware.“Well, that was quicker than expected.” He whispered and chuckled lightly before carefully taking Lily’s head to a pillow and leaving the room.“Rachael!”

“It’s the fucking Snakers, man.” Immediately the words left Raphael’s mouth, Tony's shoulders fell and his head dropped to the headboard.“And I hired him into my company without knowing about this.” He hissed, ruffling his hair out of anger and annoyance.“I should have been more careful for fuck’s sake. I put her life in danger by not being careful enough.”“That’s in the past now though, man. She’s out of danger and now we know not to be careless with things like this.” Raphael cut him off, to stop Tony from blaming himself.Tony nodded and returned his hands to the steering wheel. “You’re right. What I have to do now is find him and make sure he apologizes to her. Knowing Lily, she’s probably losing her mind right now thinking something bad has happened to him.” He said with a stressed sigh.“I can imagine how betrayed she’d feel when she learns the truth.” He added. “Anyway, thank you for your help, Raphael. I really appreciate it.” He thanked him and ended the call.**“I swear

Later that day….Tony walked into the private booth of a famous club a few minutes away from his house, where he had agreed to meet with his guest. He was ushered in by a waiter who pointed to the guest who had been waiting, his back to Tony.Tony thanked the waiter and headed to the couch where his guest was seated. As soon as he got there, the face of the guest lighted up and he leaned forward.“I was shocked to learn that you wanted us to meet. I was convinced it was a prank but, seeing you here, It’s obvious I was wrong.” He said with a smirk on his lips.“Like I said, this meeting is overdue. It has been on my mind for a while now.” Tony replied, his face as hard as stone. He then exhaled and leaned forward.“I have an offer for you, Louis.” He said calmly and Louis’s eyes widened but he quickly composed himself and crossed his legs.“You’re not going to give me money and tell me to stay away from Lily, are you? You should know that’s not going to work by now.” He laughed, his to

TWO HOURS BEFORE THE VISIT TO THE POLICE STATION “Do you think going to see the commissioner is going to change anything? He has probably been bought over by Mehdi or one of the big politicians involved in Mehdi’s dirty business. You might be putting yourself at risk by going there.” Raphael said over the phone to Tony who was now sitting in his car, about leaving for the police station. After their first call, Raphael called again a few minutes later. “But I have to do something, man. I can’t let that prick keep getting away every damn time.” Tony sighed, hitting his steering wheel angrily. “I suggest we come up with a plan then. We lost one of our best chances to catch him for good which was when you found Lily in his basement. It would have been game over if you had a spy camera to film the whole thing or, even better, cover its life. That way, he won’t be able to lie his way out and it would be game over for everyone in it with him cause I am a hundred percent sure he wouldn’t

Lily stirred awake, her body feeling lighter than the previous day. She looked around the room and noticed that it was awfully quiet and Tony was nowhere to be found.She was sure he had slept next to her.“He might be downstairs.” She thought as she headed to the bathroom to get freshened up and ready for the day. She knew that there was no point in going to the hospital as Tony had made it abundantly clear the previous day that she would be staying away from the hospital for a while.She agreed with him. She wasn’t ready to relive the previous day.When she was done, she headed downstairs dressed in casual jean shorts and a black t-shirt to match.Entering the dining room, she was met with Rachael who had her utensils in hand but her mind was elsewhere.“Rachael?” Lily called out softly but it fell on deaf ears. She cleared her throat and called again, waving her hands before her face this time around.“Rachael…” This time around, Rachael blinked and looked up.“Oh, Lily.” She calle

Tony looked at Lily and sighed once again. She looked weak and tired. Her clothes had been stained and rumpled thanks to the floor Mehdi left her on. “She needs a bath.” Rachael pointed out as if reading his mind. “Hmm.” Tony nodded. “What do we do then? Wake her up? She looks really tired though.” He said in a calm voice, sounding exhausted himself. “I’ll be gentle with her. She needs a bath to help her sleep properly. If she goes to bed like this she’ll only wake up much later. You know Lily is a clean freak.” Rachael added when she saw that Tony didn’t want to wake Lily up because of how tired she looked. “I don’t know…” He sighed but Rachael touched his arm and smiled assuringly. “Don’t worry, Tony. I’ll be gentle with her and I’ll make she doesn’t hit her head on a “Alright then. I’ll take a shower myself and come back in an hour.” Tony said before leaving the room. Once he was out, Rachael tapped Lily lightly until she stirred in her sleep. Her eyelids fluttered and slowly

“We finally meet, Draco. I have been trying to catch you for years.” Rico said with a smirk as he pulled out his police ID and shoved it in Mehdi’s face. Rico was a detective who had been in charge of a few cases that related to the Snakers gang and each time he thought he was finally close to catching them, he was faced with a stumbling block even his superiors advised and warned him against going them. After several failed attempts at getting them, he realized that the problem was their leader. He understood that the gang leader was someone powerful which was why everyone in the police force, including the commander was scared to touch him. He knew if they really wanted to, they would have caught them a long time ago. It annoyed him to see that they were turning a blind eye to the killing and crisis the gang caused daily just because their leader was someone powerful. Just a few months ago, he also found out that they were involved in the massive human trafficking of young
