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

  • The Billionaire's Regret    Chapter 144

    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 wan

    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

    “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

    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!”

    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

  • The Billionaire's Regret    The Divorce

    Harriet’s mind raced with possibilities as she sat in front of her doctor, waiting to hear the results of her pregnancy test, which she had just taken. “Mrs Daniels. I am happy to inform you that you are three weeks pregnant.” The doctor said with a bright smile, and Harriet let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. “Oh!” She breathed out, her heart racing with joy and excitement. With a marriage like her and Damien’s, the last thing she could wish for was a child, but God had other plans for her. “T-thank you, doctor. Thank you so much.” She cried as she placed her hand on her chest, unable to contain her happiness. She could not wait to tell her husband, Damien, this great news. As Harriet hurried to leave the hospital, all she could think about was how this child in her womb would be a turning point for her and Damien’s failing marriage. As much as she hated to admit it, it was true. In their three years of marriage, Harriet has never felt the joy of marriage.

  • The Billionaire's Regret    Not So Pathetic

    “This isn’t possible!” She yelled. It was a picture of her and Adrian lying naked in each other’s arms on a bed. From the picture angle, it looked like they were being intimate. Adrian towered above her, and the lady underneath him resembled her. She had never slept in the same room as Adrian, so how was this possible? Someone set her up! With a frown, Harriett defended herself. “This isn’t true. It can’t be!” Damien didn’t want to hear any explanation from her. He felt betrayed, and the only thing he wanted was for her to leave his life. “The picture is pretty clear, Harriett. Don’t you think you should give up? You must’ve thought you could keep it a secret forever. Why didn’t you marry Adrian if you loved him so much? Instead, you’d rather go behind me and sleep with him.” Damien shot back, his voice not faltering. “I don’t love Adrian. I never have. Why would I agree to marry you if I was in love with your brother?” Harriett asked in a whisper, hot tears slipping out of her

    Later that night, Harriet tossed and turned on her lonely bed. It was already 1am but, she couldn’t get herself to sleep no matter how hard she tried. Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could hear was Damien accusing her of cheating with none other than Adrian and also asking for a divorce. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying throughout the whole day. She needed comfort from someone because her heart felt like it would explode but, her husband wasn’t home. After leaving in the afternoon, he never returned home and Harriet knew that he was spending the night at Evelyn’s place. She wasn’t surprised. This was a regular occurrence. The next morning as Harriet sat at the breakfast table…alone as always, a strange thought came to her, one that gave her a tiny last hope. She wanted to fight for her marriage for the last time. She thought that he must be too angry to process everything and she wanted to explain with a last-ditch effort to try and save their marriage. She nee

    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.

    “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

    “We are under attack, " the man screamed, and Mehdi’s eyes flew open as shock rippled through him. “What? Under attack? By who?” He asked his attention now on the frightened guard. “I don’t know who they are, boss, but it didn’t look like they belonged to a gang. They looked too sophisticated for that.” He answered. “What about the other men at the gate? How the fuck did they even get in?” Mehdi asked, his mind racing. He wasn’t sure if he was to leave the basement or run to safety. But then again, the basement was hidden so it would be safer to stay in there. “Secure the entrance and make sure I am safe.” He instructed the men in the room, and they nodded before taking off. Lily heard everything they said and understood they were under attack, which meant it could be a perfect time for her to escape. Her only worry was that Mehdi didn’t look like he would be leaving the basement soon and if that happened, no one would know she was in there, so, she decided that the only thin
