Theodore's Regret 60. Chivalry
Alina's Pov“No. I never treat anyone like this. As a matter of fact, only very important people in my life get this special treatment from me. And I don't have many,” I scoffed, rolling my eyes. What was he playing at even? If he thought that those sweet words would make me think of him differently just so he could trap me in some other filthy trick of his, he had to know that he was highly mistaken. Ignoring him, I proceeded to take my place on the desk as he watched my every step carefully. Placing my bag on the desk, I fished through it to take out my phone. But then, I felt his presence behind me. The heat from his body penetrated in the air, reaching me and making me alert all of a sudden. He then bent a little to reach a drawer beside my knee on the desk, purposely making his arm skim mine. I couldn't help but take a sharp inhale of air. Everything he was doing recently was so out of his character. He was not the Theodore Maxwell I knew. And that was making me conflicted. He
Theodore's Regret 61. Rage
Theodore's PovAlina continued to look at me skeptically as we took our place in the private area that I had booked for us. Only the two of us. She didn't know that yet. She wouldn't have accompanied me otherwise. I just wanted to spend some time with her and get in her good books. If she finds out I technically lied, then she would get my head for it. My kitten had grown claws over the time and had learned how to bite. Which I was proud of since she could now stand up for herself and knows that she doesn't deserve bullshit. But for now, it wasn't really adding up in my favor. “When is your client coming?” she asked after the waiter brought the menu for us and I didn't miss the way his gaze lingered on her for more than a few seconds. My hand clenched under the table. Alina skinned through the menu and I took my phone out.“Let me check with him,” she nodded. I fake dialed a number before putting the phone on my ear. I had to make it look realistic. “Hello Mr. Worthing. How are you d
Theodore's Regret 62. Never Meant To Be
Alina's PovI resisted his hold, trying to push him off of me. But that man was made of rock. Like seriously, the skin beneath his suit was rock. It didn't budge an inch. Who does he think he is pushing and cornering me everywhere, trying to assert dominance? This needs to stop. Like right now. “You need to stop!” I really didn't want to make a scene here standing literally in the building’s parking lot. But then, I was thankful that at least we were alone. I would hate it if anyone sees me with him and gets ideas. “I'm not a child you can push around and scold, Theodore!”I saw his eyes softening, but the slight tick in his jaw was still there. His right hand cupped my cheek and I looked baffled at what he was trying to do. His thumb ran soothing circles on my skin, making me shudder under his hot hold. “Alina, please. Tell me what should I do to fix everything? Huh, tell me? Slap me, punch me, fucking stab me if that helps extinguish the fire in your heart for me. But please my lov
Theodore's Regret 63. Wish
Alina's Pov “Stop fucking looking at her if you value your job!” Theodore seethed and I flinched in my place. The last thing I needed right now was drama. I glared in his direction but he was just looking at the guy, probably planning ways to bury him. I grabbed a hold of his hand under the table, having his eyes meet mine for a few seconds. Discreetly, I signaled him to stop him from making a scene. He turned back to face the guy, whose name I was still unaware of considering I'm new here. “Leave,” he spat, as the guy faced Theodore uncomfortably.“I….I beg your pardon?” He stuttered. “I said get out of this room!” Theodore's voice boomed as I closed my eyes, flinching at the impact. Shaking, the guy did get up and left. “If anyone here fails to respect my employees, or try anything out of the office boundaries will be thrown out immediately,” he announced, basically telling everyone in hidden words that I was off limits. And I knew that drama was coming up next, knowing the rumors
Theodore's Regret 64. Gifts and Requests
Alina's PovIt was the weekend, meaning no more of seeing Mr Hitler today. Finally I could take a break from him. But today, I was just feeling out of my usual self. A little too lethargic and well… sick. Why, though? I had no idea. I got up from the bed, the gentle raises of the sun peeking in from the curtain as my baby stirred in his sleep before opening his eyes. “Morning,” I wished with a pleasant smile. “Morning mummy!” He exclaimed, hopping off the bed and joining me by my side. “What do you wanna do today?” I asked, making our way to the bathroom. “Um, watch superman,” of course … him and his obsession with superman. “Ok,” I chirped before I filled the tub and prepared his favorite bubble bath for him. After cleaning up, we brushed our teeth. He jogged down the stairs to join his aunty for breakfast while I stayed back to take my shower before joining them. “What's cookin’?” I called out, smelling the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. “A perfect English breakfast.
Theodore's Regret 65. Stuck
Alina's Pov Elliot was on his one knee, looking handsome as ever when he looked at me lovingly. His eyes shone in delight as he slipped the diamond ring on my ring finger and I looked at it with the biggest smile on my face. He wasted no time in getting up from his position, picking me up in his arms and twirling me around in the air. My hands locked behind his neck as I looked at him with the biggest smile I had ever given in my entire life. “Cut!” We heard the camera man say and I sighed before Elliot finally placed me down on the ground. “Brilliant! Fabulous!” The guy from earlier, who's name I learned was Eric, clapped his hand twice in appreciation while making his way towards the two of us. “Stacy. You are a natural. Really. I mean acting is almost second nature to Elliot, but you,” he showed his teeth in a big smile. “You were really the stud here,” now I was thinking he was just exaggerating because we literally had no dialogues. All I had to do was say yes to the proposal
Theodore's Regret 66. Rumors
Alina's Pov I bolted into the meeting room, all eyes fixed on me upon my enthusiastic entrance as I stared back at them nervously. Theodore's being one of them. The room was…tense. I could feel it. I was thirty minutes late to the meeting. So I'm guessing the hard pissed off look on Theodore's face was because of that. But I didn't miss the way his jaw ticked before before he opened his mouth to comment rather harshly. “Take your place, Miss Miller.” I gulped before making a beeline for my seat next to him and for some reason I could feel the anger radiating off of him. Why is he always so angry? I accept that I was late, but a person can have an emergency. The meeting which had paused due to my sudden entrance resumed as I took out my notepad and pen to take notes. “Hence the best location for this project will be the western Lenternberg site. It is going to be aesthetically pleasing and we can do well with the budget—” the voice of the presenter played in the background as I trie
Theodore's Regret 67. Unconscious
Theodore's PovIn one swift move I had captured Alina's lips with mine, making me taste the heaven I was dying to taste. But the next second, I was shoved back roughly before a tight slap sounded in the confines of my room, making my head whip to the side. That was one hell of a slap, I had to say. And powerful enough to sting my cheek. I'm sure it might have turned red. I sighed knowing I fucked up. Again. Shit! My eyes collided back with Alina's to find tears glistening in them. And the sight was enough to make me feel like the ground was snatched from beneath my feet. I couldn't control my emotions, the fear of losing her blinded me so fucking much, it made me pull up a stupid stunt like this. To say I regretted it would be an understatement. It was like my heart was opened and stabbed multiple times. Why the fuck do I have to be an inpatient bastard all the time.But I couldn't let her go. Let her move on from me. It just wasn't an option. But I guess, my haphazardness made the
