The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love The calamity
|Aria's POV|The weekend was over, and guess whose short holiday was over? Yes, mine.It's Tuesday, and I was already praying for Friday commencement. It's almost a week since Zion left, and it hurts so bad that I didn't think I would miss him as much as I did.I was all alone by myself and there was only little Brianna could do. Penelope's boss has resumed being a bitch and giving her extra work, but guess who still made time to pull up in the children's school yesterday with their favorite car?Yes, Penny. Her level of pettiness needed to be studied because she wanted them to be so embarrassed and when they all got home yesterday, they gave me hell with their red faces.~Flash back~“Mama, there is no way that Aunt Penny should be allowed to pick us up in that thingy,” Zoe groaned.“Yes, seriously. She had better spray it with black paint.” Zachary grumbled, consenting to his sister's words.“Maybe my next choice would be hot pink. Since you little shits are so in love with the colo
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-01-07The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love Willing to do anything
|Aria’s POV|I looked like shit and definitely felt like one because I was a shitty mother who couldn’t take care of her kids.My throat was hoarse from screaming and my eyes were burning with an itchiness that had refused to leave as I fought back tears since reality dawned on us.Penelope had a similar expression and look, because it'd been eating her up that she was the one who unknowingly orchestrated their kidnap. My stomach felt empty, but I didn’t have the guts to eat because I didn’t know the state my kids were in and how they were being treated by someone who thought I had snatched something precious from him.My gaze flickered towards Brianna, who also had a haunted look and had stains of dried tears on her cheeks. She had been pacing around and trying to pull the connections she could with her last name. But it has been to no avail. Even Zion couldn’t get to the bottom of it.Although, he said he would get back to me in a fe--“Tring Tring!”I snatched the phone from the ta

|Ace’s POV|The game was over before it even began. I guess I could now see the reason why Zion looked at me like I was stupid when he saw my determination to fight for Aria.Please help me find my kidsPlease help me find my kidsKidsKidsAria has not one, but two kids with Zion.The way the tears rolled down my cheeks made a tightness appear in my chest and I hurriedly pulled her up.She shouldn't be kneeling for me, or else she wanted to suck me off but that wasn't the case. I only wanted her on her knees for pleasure, not desperation.“Ace, please help me. I can't live without those kids.” Her voice cracked and more tears rolled down her cheek.I instinctively raised my fingers to her face and wiped her tears with my thumb. Even if I was going to use every one of my connections to make sure Aria stopped crying, I wouldn't hesitate.I thought seeing her cry for the first time at that ball made my heart ache, but her sunken eyes and swollen face made me miserable and I swear, I wil

|Aria's POV| I felt like I was doused with iced water but it felt more like I was thrown into a furnace as I stared at a picture of my kids tied to small high chairs. Zoe eyes were puffy and her lips were still trembling, while Zachary had a defiant look like he was trying to be strong for his sister and me. The world gave out under me and the phone slipped from my hands, but before I could make contact with the marbled floor, strong hands held my back while their face was shoved into my blurry gaze. My heart tightened painfully as I tried to comprehend what they could have done and the amount of cruelty a child could do to deserve to be tied to a chair all because of their mother's action. But it was crystal clear that I failed as a mother and did not deserve to be one. “Aria, what happened? What was in the picture?” Ace questioned, scooting closer to me. Snatching the phone from me, Penelope placed her hand over her mouth and gagged at the image. “Oh- oh my gosh.”

|Aria’s POV|My heart pounded in my heart erratically as I stood in front of the abandoned building and waited for the perpetrator to come outside. Ace was in the area with me while Harper was trying to get the police there, so that the time was right, to avoid alerting the kidnapper before time.My jaw dropped when I saw a movement flashed by the window. The man had very long hair. Too long for a man, that was what I thought till the person stepped out fully and my head couldn’t process the identity.It was Mia Collins.My eyebrows hiked up to my forehead, my mind reeled with several possibilities as I questioned weakly. “Why… why are you here?”“For the same reason, you are here. Just that in this case, you are my guest.” Her crooked teeth were on display as she smirked evilly.It was as if the world gave out under me and I held my head while my knees buckled. “Wa- wait what? You are the one behind the kidnap?”“What? That was a nice plot twist, right?” She mocked, with a triumphant

|Aria’s POV|Envisioning that the kids would be okay and rescued without a scratch was one thing, but seeing a text on my smartwatch from Ace that said the mission was successful was another.A warm fuzzing feeling spread in my body and relief flooded into my veins, making my tensed shoulders relax immediately. A deep exhale escaped my lips and I couldn’t help the way my lips formed into a smile.“What is funny and why are you smiling?” Mia hissed through her teeth, her eyes blaring fury.My eyes snapped open after hearing her voice, and I was immediately shoved back into reality.I moved closer to her, ignoring how her eyes narrowed at me and how she bared her teeth. “I am sorry you had to go through all of that. I genuinely wish you didn’t have to. But we can settle this amicably,” I suggested.“If I hear another apology from you, I will lose my shit. Your apology isn’t going to make my parents take me back, so it’s unnecessary if you ask me.” She gritted out.With a sigh, I muttere

Have you ever wished some things didn’t end up the way they did? My eyes clashed with Mia in a silent plea, hoping she wouldn’t do what she wanted. But how her red eyes flickered towards mine and scanned the abandoned building now swarming with police was alarming. Just in time, my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw the detonator on the floor. It clicked in my head that the aim of the shot wasn’t to make her hurt but to get the detonator away from her before she killed us all. My legs moved on their own accord to grab the detonator. If I wasn’t wrong, it was planted in the compound and, somehow, we would all be affected if she detonated it. She ran in the direction and my legs also moved as fast as I could, but before I could get to it, she beat me to it and snatched the detonator off the floor with a grin on her face. “As I have said, there is no way I would go down alone. If we all don’t die, I will be detained by the police and sent to jail. My family would

|Ace’s POV|I couldn’t believe that of all the news I could have gotten from Aria, hearing that the kids I saved just because she was in pain that I couldn’t bear were my kids.My kids.Not just one, but two.Everything stopped, and I faintly remembered the screeching tires that reverberated in the silent night, leaving behind decayed leaves that settled on the floor.What did I just hear?Is she trying to pull some pranks on me?“They are my kids?” I repeated.“Yes, they are.”My eyes met Brianna as I tried to fathom that piece of information. My eyebrows hiked up to my hairline, as if coming to terms with the fact that she had kids was insufficient. But the kids were mine.“How?” I questioned.A deep exhale escaped her lips as she leaned against the yellow Benz that belonged to Penelope. “Aria was pregnant when you chased her out of the house and with no consideration of where she would stay because you knew about her family. She had miraculous twins and had done a perfect job at hi

The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love Turning the table against her
|Aria’s POV|“Aria!!”“Aria, are you awake?”My eyelids fluttered as my vision slowly adjusted to the brightness of the room. A groan escaped my lips as I forced myself into a sitting position, my head pounding.“Wh-where am I?” I croaked out, my throat dry and scratchy.Penelope quickly passed me a glass of water. I accepted it gratefully, my fingers trembling as I brought it to my lips. The cool liquid eased the hoarseness in my throat, but it did nothing to clear the fog in my mind.The room felt familiar, yet I couldn’t quite place it. White-painted walls. A beeping monitor. An IV tube was connected to my arm. My fingers brushed against the tape securing the needle in place.How did I get here?I looked around, my gaze landing on Penelope, Brianna, and Zion. They sat in the chairs beside my bed, their faces etched with worry.“Penny,” I tried again, firmer this time. “What happened?”Penelope hesitated, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her shirt. “Aria, you passed out. You’re
The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love The headline
| Aria’s POV |I wiped my face quickly as the door closed behind Zion. The sound of little footsteps padded across the hallway, and I quickly sniffled, fixing my appearance before my little judges could scrutinize me.“Mama, did you and Uncle Zion have a fight?”I turned to see my daughter standing there, her big, curious eyes studying me carefully.“How did you know about that?” I asked, attempting a casual tone.“Mama, you weren’t exactly quiet… and we had to cover our ears because you said bad words.”I gasped. “Oh my goodness, I’m sorry.” I crouched down and placed my hands on her tiny shoulders. “Yes, we had a little misunderstanding, but it’s normal for adults to argue sometimes.”She pouted, looking unconvinced. “Mama, I think you should forgive Uncle Zion. He apologized to us… and he cried.”A sharp pang hit my chest. I inhaled deeply and forced a smile. “Don’t worry about him, sweetheart. We’ll sort it out.”“How was your day?” I quickly changed the topic.Her face lit up. “I
The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love Do I disgust you that much?
| Aria’s POV |"And who do we have here?""Oh yeah, my step-sister, who also happens to be one of Seattle’s biggest whores.""At least I’m not jumping into a married man’s bed," I retorted sharply.Satisfaction curled at the edges of my lips as her nose flared and her eyes narrowed. But as my gaze swept over her outfit, my brows furrowed. Of course, she was wearing something that barely qualified as a dress—more like lingerie. But I wasn’t surprised. Gabriella would do anything for male attention."What did you sa—""What are you doing here?" Ace’s sharp voice cut through, his irritation clear. "Last time I checked, I told you not to step into any of my office buildings unless you were prepared to face the consequences.""Oh, sweetheart," Gabriella crooned, tilting her head mockingly. "Are you still bothered by my presence? Does Aria know I still affect you this much?"Rolling my eyes, I muttered, "More like repulse." The words slipped out before I could stop myself.She scoffed and s
The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love The smirking evil sister
|Ace’s POV|My chair squeaked as I turned it around, my focus shifting from planning my office layout change to Harper, who had just barged in. At first, I assumed it was one of his usual visits, but the way he paced, chewing on his lip, told me otherwise.Then he spoke.I regretted asking what was wrong because this was not the kind of news I expected.“What?!” I yelled, disbelief washing over me.My head tilted slightly, and a smirk tugged at my lips. “She’s marrying Richard Banks? Damn, that’s a bold move.”“But hey, she’s marrying rich. I guess her personality suits her husband—at least she won’t take nonsense from Richard.”Harper’s jaw tightened. “You’re missing the point. It’s not about the marriage. Penny is pregnant—with my baby.”My breath hitched. I whipped my head toward him, blinking. “Wait… are we still talking about Penelope Collins?”His tone was gruff. “No, Alison Herbert.”"hahaha.. funny." I snickered but the expression got wiped when I saw how serious he looked.I
The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love My miracle baby
|Aria's POV|“Ughhhh… I can't believe him.”“He doesn't mix business with pleasure.”“I'm marrying her, and that's final?”These men have lost it. They're clearly out of their senses—assuming they had any to begin with.“Aria, calm down. You're letting these people stress you more than they should. You have your own things to look after.”“Bri, you weren't there. That old bastard threatened my kids and said he doesn't give a damn if Penny goes missing.” I reported.“I understand you, and I know how much you care for her. But don’t you think she wouldn’t approve of the stress you're going through now because of something you can both change?”“I thoug—”A sudden knock on the door interrupted me. I exchanged a glance with Brianna, suspicion creeping into my mind.“Are we expecting anyone?” I asked, my gaze locked on the door.Could it be the same person who dropped that letter last week?Without thinking, I strode to the door and yanked it open. My breath hitched when I saw Penny standi
The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love A request for a new manager
|Zion’s POV|“Are you out of your goddamn mind, Zion? What the fuck is wrong with you?”“Have you been sniffing something weird that’s making you act like an uncultured animal?”“Why would you talk to your fiancée like that? What has she done to deserve such cruel words from you?”“Dad,” I tried, my voice barely above a whisper.“Don’t call me that until you screw back the bolts that have clearly loosened in your head. You have no excuse.”I swallowed hard. “I met her ex-husband.”His gaze didn’t waver. “Okay? And how does that concern me or justify your actions?”“He told me I was just wasting my time. That he has every right to get her back whenever he wants because technically, she’s still his wife.” My fists clenched. “And she’s been acting like my existence irritates the hell out of her. She won’t even let me hold her.”Dad scoffed. “Trust me, if I were her, I wouldn’t let a crazed man like you hold me either. Look, son, I understand what it feels like to be insecure, to fear tha
The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love The devil in suit
|Aria’s POV|"Not because your ex-husband has broken off his engagement with your sister and is acting like the perfect daddy?"I shook my head, trying to rid myself of the words that had been haunting me for the past twenty-four hours. No matter how hard I tried, Zion’s voice still echoed in my head, circling me like a vulture waiting for its prey to drop.I sniffled and lightly patted my cheeks to ensure no more tears were falling. My throat was dry, my face blotchy, but I needed to be strong—for Penelope.Maybe I’d been making reckless decisions lately. That thought was confirmed the moment I received a message an hour ago, confirming my appointment with Richard Banks.Penelope didn’t know about this meeting. She had no idea I was about to face the man she was being forced to marry. But I intended to surprise her with good news—because there was no way I would let her be married against her will.As I pulled out of my compound, my eyes flickered to the rearview mirror, catching sig
The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love The sudden changed personality
||Aria’s POV|“Aria!!!” Mr Jimmy yelled and barreled into my arms as I climbed the patio.“Big man, how are you doing? You haven’t aged a day!” I grinned, wrapping my hands around him.His smoky, coffee-scented aroma filled my senses as I buried my face in his chest. A sigh escaped my lips as I relaxed into his embrace. He smelled like home and felt like the comfort I needed for everything I had gone through these past few days.“I know right, you have just abandoned me. Where are those little munchkins?” He asked while patting my back and searching for my kids.“They’re right—”“Papa!!!!” Zoe yelled as her little pigtails bounced in the air while she ran in our direction. Zachary let go of Zion’s hand and immediately ran after Zoe. My eyes became blurry, and my heart swelled with pride. Everything felt complete seeing my children have people who love them and always want to see them around.I rolled my eyes at the trio that refused to leave themselves, especially when their papa star
The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love The last wish
|Aria’s POV|A snort slipped past my lips and I quickly placed my hand on my mouth to muffle the unladylike sound.“Girl, what the hell are you on?” I pondered out loud.“Nothing. I’m getting married babe,” She repeated.This time, I couldn’t help but bellow in laughter while clutching my stomach. Tears gathered at the corner of my eyes and my belly hurt from laughing so much but I couldn’t bring myself to stop.This was exactly the joke I needed to get out of the terrible mood I was in. By the time I was done laughing, I cleared my throat.“Thanks for making me laugh bestie. That was exactly what I needed. Your impeccable sense of humour.” I complimented.Taking in a deep breath, she whispered shakily. “I know right, just that I’m goddamn serious and I have two weeks left before I become a baby machine to someone who is of the same age as my father.” The huge grin slipped off my face and I sat up quickly. “Penny, this humour is going too far. What the hell? How didn’t I realize tha
