Regrets

Diego's POV

"Mr. Sanchez, the report you asked for is ready" Michelle stated the moment she walked into my office.

I looked up to see her walking seductively as usual. Ever since Luisa ended things with me, she's been hellbent on finishing what we started, but the truth was, whatever I felt for her during those times was just pure lust.

She wasn't even close to my type. Unfortunately, I had a high libido; I couldn't resist her. My life had never remained the same since Luisa left. I couldn't even do anything properly.

I wanted her back. I just hadn't figured out a way to get to her. Wait. I could use.....

A loud bang jolted me out of my thoughts and my eyes settled on Michelle, who had a deep frown on her face.

I was furious. "Did you just bang your fist on my desk?"

Michelle snorted in disgust and folded her arms with a challenging posture. Took me a lot of courage to take my eyes off her body figure.

"You've been spacing out lately. Is it because of that bitch?" She question

    SnitchesLuisa's POVHow come I didn't know he worked here? I'd never paid attention to the company's name itself, or was it a transfer? He looked so terrible, but I didn't feel even an ounce of pity for him. What was more shocking was the fact that he worked for my husband, the CEO himself.It was hilarious, I must admit.His pleas were so absurd. Now, I regretted telling the bodyguards to allow him to speak. He has further ruined everything with his last statement.Get back together? In his wildest dreams. I'd rather become a penguin than be with someone as useless as him again."Please, Luisa. You know you love me" He pleaded desperately. "I know you still do. You're just angry.""There you go again; making me feel like I was the obsessed one" I stated. "What you're asking for is beyond my capabilities. It's best you move on and find someone else to love you, or you stick to your assistant. She can satisfy you in bed, can't she?""It's you I want" Diego argued. "Unlike you, she's s

    Testing her patienceAdrian's POV"You have five minutes to tell me the truth" I stated.Hmph... She thought she could hide it from me. I had already received a text from the bodyguards before she got here."Tch..." She clicked her tongue. "Fine. He's my ex-fiance.""Oh," I smiled mischievously, leaning my back against my seat. "Was he the man who made you force me into marriage?""I didn't force...." Luisa trailed off, her cheeks burning with anger."You want to say something?" I questioned with a teasing tone.Luis's inhaled sharply and snarled. "Can we not talk about that again? We've gone past that.""Nah... We haven't" I refuted. "It was never my intention to get married like this, so I'll always remember.""Fine. Suit yourself" She snapped and folded her arms."He's going to get fired" I declared nonchalantly."What?!" Luisa spat. "You can't do that."I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Why? He caused commotion in my company, didn't he?"Luisa hesitated a bit before responding.

    SpitefulLuisa's POVI was so furious that I didn't see the person coming my way until I bumped into something hard."Ouch!" I screamed in pain, ready to transfer my aggression to the person who was not at fault."Are you okay?" I heard a soft male voice say. It kind of reminded me of Adrian, which fueled my anger.I swatted his hands away and pushed him aside with the little strength I had. "Get out of my way."Surprisingly, he didn't stop me. I walked into the elevator and arrived at the first floor as soon as possible, but it seemed today was going to be quite dramatic.Guess who I met standing outside the elevator? It was Joyce, Diego's secretary.Initially, her face was etched with surprise. It instantly morphed into a look of contempt."Hello, Luisa. It's been a while" She greeted with her chin slightly raised. She thought she could intimidate me. One thing she wasn't aware of was the fact that I wasn't scared of anybody but myself.I didn't have friends, so I didn't feel entitl

Mr. Cruz barked, throwing the report at me.I raised my arm just in time to stop it from hitting me.I knew I needed to explain myself. I was at fault for not reviewing the reports before bringing them to his office. Joyce did me dirty."I'm sorry, Mr. Cruz. I can rectify the mistake before the end of today" I pleaded with caution."It's pointless" He snapped. "I've had enough of your incompetency. I'm submitting a report to the CEO himself. Wait till you hear from him, then you can beg all you want."Begging him further was a waste of time. I went to pick up the scattered papers on the ground, I stood upright and turned to leave.I got to the same spot where I had encountered Luisa earlier."Tch..." I gritted my teeth in rage. What happened then was the most embarrassing moment of my life. I had been carried like an animal and thrown on my butt before the employees on the first floor.It was a disgrace. I had to use m

    A partner Luisa's POV"I did" Mr. Torres replied curtly."What?!" I exclaimed, my eyes widened in horror. "Why didn't you inform me about it first? I have the right to choose who I want to work with.""No, you don't" Mr. Torres rebuked, his face morphed into a frown. "I understand that your name was mentioned in the mail, but that doesn't mean you get to make the decision. I..."He paused, his frown deepening. "Wait a minute. How did you know about the endorsement deal? I haven't even told the CEO yet?""Huh... I...I heard some rumors" I stammered, scratching the back of my hair nervously. "I wasn't even sure the rumors were true until you confirmed it."An awkward silence reigned as Mr. Torres' piercing gaze lingered on me."Okay," He stated with a sigh. "Number one thing I need to correct here is that no employee has the right to state whether we accept a proposal or not. You could reject it, and another model will take it up. But think about it, Martinez Corporation owns the large

I'm not done talking to you yet. I still have a piece of news from Mom for you. I'm just curious about the lady. Is she an employee?""No, she's not" I replied curtly, trying hard not to squeeze the papers in my grasp. "Say whatever it is you want to say and leave my office now.""Haha...well, that lady is drop-dead gorgeous" George laughed out. "I'll keep an eye out for her, just in case she comes back. If you're not going to tell me about her, I'll confront her myself.""Don't....." I trailed off, realizing I was revealing too much.I instantly regained composure and pretended not to care. The only thing I could do was make sure Luisa never got to have a conversation with him.He was carefree, jovial, and had a friendly personality that naturally drew people to him. It was these traits I wa

I turned sharply, ready to use my taekwondo skill, but when I recognized the face of the person, my hands froze in the air and my mouth agape."Sarah" I gasped in shock, my mouth agape."Luisa" She called again, her lips curved into a smile that made me shudder in fear.A normal passerby would see her approach as a friendly one, but we both knew what was hidden beneath her facade."It's so lovely to see you again" She added, her smile broadening. "I see you still work here?""Yes, I do" I replied coldly, staring at her with great apprehension. "Why are you here?"Sarah snorted. "Come on, girl. The road was built for anyone to walk on. Besides, I've been away from Asia for three years now, so I haven't been keeping up with the current happenings in our country. Tell me, how popular are you now?""It's

I questioned, my fixed on the iPad in my hands.I expected a quick answer, but it seemed the man was still trying to process the fact that he was standing before me in my office. Yes, I understood that workers rarely saw my face, and even some of the higher-ups had barely seen me before, but the guy was annoying."Speak, Mr. Diego" Miguel warned sternly. "You do know your job is at stake, right?""Ye... Yes, sir" Diego stuttered in reply and looked at the ground. "It was my assistant that failed to review the report before sending it to me."I smirked. "Miguel, where's the company's logbook?""It's over here" Miguel replied, digging out a mini book from his pocket. Our rules and regulations were written neatly in it."Give it to me. Let him ready number 105 of the company's ethnicity" I stated.Miguel obeyed, but Diego was reluctant to take it."You're wasting my time" I snapped.He took the log book and open

You have the building all to yourself. We've also given them the apology package you paid for.""Good" I commended. "Any text from the driver?""He is on his way with Miss. Fernanda" Jeff replied, his tone stern. "But he sent a text about being followed. I have a feeling the people on their trail are the bodyguards Mr. Martinez put in place to protect Miss. Fernanda."I chuckled amusingly. "Tell him to find a way to lose them.""Won't they inform Mr. Martinez about it?" Jeff asked with a raised brow.I smirked. "They will, and that's exactly what I want. Very soon, she'll be mine. I want that brother of mine to know he can't have everything he wants."Jeff sighed, his voice laced with caution. "Alright, sir, but I would advise you to exercise caution.

    ResumingLuisa's POV"Hmmm....." I took a deep breath, staring at the name *Spotlight Desk* inscribed on the building in front of me.I still couldn't believe I chose to come back so early. Normally, I should have resigned, but my heart was still with them. I mean I grew my career here.With a deep breath, I took a slow and confident walk into the building. The receptionist at the front desk greeted me with a simple nod and a smile that took me by surprise.It wasn't just her. The workers did the same. They were all acting so nice that I almost puked.What was that all about anyway? Or was it because of the incident with Isabella and Rose?Well, I had just one way to find out. I made my way to Gabriel's office. A woman dressed in a black suit paired with black pants stood outside with a cold face."You can't go in, ma'am" She stopped me with a cold voice. "My boss is having a meeting with Mr. Gabriel. You have to wait."I shrugged and complied. "Okay."I sat in the lounge, keeping my

You of all people should be aware of that. Make your choice now, Valerie.""Hmph..." She grumbled, listening attentively to the words are assistant was whispering to her.I had a bad feeling about it, but well...Gradually, her lips curved into a smile of triumph; one I found suspicious."Let Alicia's children go!" I ordered again."What makes you think I took them?" Valerie questioned with a raised brow. "She means nothing to me and so do those brats. Don't you dare accuse me wrongly?""Don't play with my intelligence, Valerie. You and I both know you kidnapped those kids" I argued firmly. "Let's settle this thing maturely."Valerie chuckled. "In your dreams, Adrian. Like I said, I don't know what you're talking about."I noticed Miguel trying to say something, so I leaned closer."What is it?" I questioned.He lowered

As soon as he was done distributing it, I gave him an order."Go through it and tell me what you think. Remember, this is all about business.""Such impudence!" An old man roared, banging his fist on the table and standing up violently, causing his seat to fall backward. "How dare you? This is the highest order of disrespect."I burst into laughter. "Disrespect? Impudence? You use those words like those papers aren't telling the truth. They're authentic and just one mail to the police would get you all arrested.""We won't accept this!" Another board member yelled. "Who on earth gave you the audacity to dig dirt on us? Even your father doesn't have the guts."I shrugged, unaffected by their deathly glare. "That's one of the reasons why I intend to take over from him. He has been quite lenient with you all, which is the reason why you all

    MadrilenoAdrian's POVGeorge of all people??She knew how to ruin the mood. We hadn't been on a talking note since last night. I was thankful she never answered my question last night.Meeting my grandfather was equivalent to opening the gate of hell. At this point, I wasn't ready for trouble. I would consider letting him in on the truth, but not anytime soon.As soon as I was done getting ready for work, I headed straight to the dining area. I met Charles supervising the maids to set the table."Good morning, Master" He greeted the moment our eyes met.I nodded in response. "Did she have breakfast before leaving?" I questioned.Charles shook his head. "Madame said she couldn't wait, but she'll surely come home for dinner."I scoffed. "Of course, she will. Unless she wants to test my patience."I sat down to have breakfast, and in just ten minutes, I was done.I grabbed my jacket and devices and strutted out of the house. Kyle was already waiting by the car. Soon, we hit the road.Ar

"I thought you wanted to go pick your dress yourself. I already made a reservation for you.""Very good, but before that, kindly release a picture of that brat and the evidence of the surrogacy procedure" I ordered, smirking. "It's past the deadline and they haven't met our demands. Perhaps, they don't want to take us seriously. We need to show them we're not playing.""Alright, ma'am" Jude responded, holding his phone with one hand and controlling the steering with the other. "I'll text a friend of mine now."My eyes narrowed. "A friend?""Yes, he is the one who's good at the tech stuff. He's also very reliable and trustworthy" Jude explained confidently.I kind of had a bad feeling about it, but I brushed it off.My eyes brightened as I recalled something."Jude, what do you think we can do about Alicia and Jason

I already sent him a text" He replied. "As for the video, it's been taken down. Those fools are only going to offer an apology to make things clear. You have nothing to worry about.""I know," I said, and cursed inwardly. What's that going to make him think I found him reliable?I looked at him, and our eyes met. I couldn't stop staring at his lips as it reminded me of the kisses we shared."I don't mind you staring" I heard him say, snapping me out of my daze.Damn! Can't believe I got lost in his eyes.I scoffed, and looked away, praying silently for an opportunity to get away from me. Though, I doubted that was going to be possible.A few minutes later, the driver drove through a large iron gate attached to a high fence. The outside was quite ordinary, but the inside......it was mind-blowing."Where'

    ExposedDiego's POV"The young lady in there was never pregnant" The doctor dropped the bombshell, and my heart stopped beating for a moment.What?! That's impossible. In fact, why should I stay quiet and listen to such nonsense?"What are you saying, doctor?" I voiced out fiercely. "She told me she was pregnant with a pregnancy test result as proof."The doctor sighed. "Those kinds of things can be forged. It's easy to detect, especially when the hospital's seal is not on it. Most people tend to ignore the seal because of the shock or excitement, so I understand your plight."No way. She didn't just fool me with that. What for?My head was spinning as every other word I wanted to speak got stuck in my throat."Then what was the bleeding all about?" I heard my boss ask.The doctor let out a throaty chuckle. "It was just red wine stored in a ball. She put it in between her legs, and crushed it when the moment was right."Red wine? So hilarious!I still couldn't process the fact that I

    Damages Luisa's POV “Oh, my”, I exclaimed inwardly, feeling uncomfortable. I could sense trouble brewing. I mean, why Diego of all people? The moment I got out of the car, and walked over to Adrian's side, I met our driver having a conversation with the annoying being. The argument seemed to be heating up, but Adrian wasn't moved one bit. "You have to pay for damages or get ready to face the consequences" I heard the driver say with a sharp undertone laced with a warning, but Diego wasn't willing to back down. I doubted he knew who the car owner was. "Pay for damages? Never!!" He snarled. "Why don't you go ahead and tell your so-called boss to get the hell out of here? Get your garbage car off the road." "Are you talking to me?" Adrian finally voiced out, his voice stern. Diego's head snapped to our spot, his eyes widened in shock, and his mouth agape. Good for you, I scoffed inwardly, anticipating what could happen next. "Sir... Sir, I... I didn't know it was you
