To Make A Billionaire Regret Chapter 28 [2/3]
"You could say that," Cadmus said before downing a bottle. "Do you want a drink?"Cadmus' eyes communicated with mine. It was telling me that he wanted to talk. So, I slowly sat on the empty spot on the couch across from him.He called the waiter and gestured toward me. I asked for a cocktail before focusing my eyes on Cadmus."About earlier..." he mumbled. "The time I gave you when we were together, was it not enough?"What time was he talking about? The one I begged for? The time he felt obligated to give me so he won't be called a bad husband?"Why are you suddenly bringing that up?" He was making everything easier for me, but my question was genuine.Cadmus was staring at the wall as he drank his beer."Because I still don't understand how you were able to leave so easily.""You cheated on me, Cadmus," I reminded him. My eyes examined the drink that I was holding.I glanced at him and saw how he emptied his drink again."What if it was a mistake?" he exclaimed abruptly. "And you s

My eyes were still closed, but I knew there was a light directed on my face. My eyebrows furrowed as I opened one eye.The light was coming from the window. It was still covered with curtains, but the light went through the thin fabric. I sighed.What time is it, and why is it so bright outside already?"Ugh," I groaned. "My head..."I grabbed a handful of my hair as I pressed my eyes shut to suppress the headache. My skull felt like it was splitting in two. I don't even know why.Did I drink a lot last night?I paused as I tried to remember what happened last night. I could only cuss under my breath when I couldn't recall how I got here.I remember drinking with everyone. Percival was beside me, so I must've loosened up too much. It was reckless of me to drink too many during a business trip, especially with Cadmus around.Percival suddenly stepped into the room. He had a tray in hand. It contained a bowl and a drink.He smiled when he saw me awake. He's smiling again, huh? Based on

My hand played with Percival's hair as I waited for him to let go. With his body so close to mine and the view in front of me, I wanted so bad to be stuck in the comfort of it.Percival took a deep breath before releasing me from his hold. He looked at me and smiled."You can go."I bit my lower lip as I thought of a life where I didn't know Cadmus... and I was in love with the person in front of me. Would we be close like this, or would it be so much more? Would I have a different experience with love? I wanted to know.However, something held my hand back from reaching out to him. In the back of my head, I knew I shouldn't feel this way. I could never let myself fall for Percival and let that feeling ruin us. I was fine with whatever we have right now."Will you continue to watch over Marcus?" I asked."Yeah, until I'm sure he's alright.""Don't you have to go to the company today?" I asked. We were both well aware of each other's schedules. "I'll grab my laptop and stay here with M

"Is this supposed to be your apology?" I asked. Did he take our last conversation as an invitation to rebuild the bridge I burned? He wasn't wrong. I did approach him to get close to him again. But that was nothing more than a part of the plan to ruin him. "I know that is not enough. So, treat it as a part of my apology and a gift because I knew you like those things." "What's the point of apologizing?" "Is it wrong to want to be on good terms with you?" he said. "Does Minty know about this?" I touched the necklace before seductively glancing at him. "I'm just trying to make up for how I hurt you in the past, Katalina." Cadmus won't ask for forgiveness just to clear his conscience. He's not the type to lower his pride for good intentions. There was more to his eyes than just wanting to be forgiven. I could throw his gift away and tell him off right now. However, he gave me false hope in the past, and I said I would remember the pain and give it back to him. "I wanted to give

PERCIVALThe first time I saw her, she was young, and it was at a party. Despite her age, she acted mature and wise in front of the adults. She received a lot of praise which I thought she deserved.Even at a young age, she was beautiful. Some girls envied her. Fortunately, she was not just beauty and wits; she also knew how to defend herself.I loved watching her from afar. All those boring parties for a kid turned out enjoyable because of her. She was interesting.There came a time when the girls who disliked her embarrassed her in public. It all happened so fast that I couldn't stop it. They ruined her dress by pushing her toward a table with beverages. They laughed at her, and the person she had been glancing at throughout the party—Cadmus, only stood and watched. She remained composed, and I thought, how could she act like that?However, after wiping her dress, she grabbed a drink and deliberately spilled it all over the girls. Then she walked away with her head held high. I foll

"Koen..." I uttered when my brother opened the door."Katalina?" Koen was shocked to see me. But he immediately ushered me inside his house. "What happened?""I uhm..." I bit my bottom lip because it kept quivering. "Can I stay here tonight?"I wasn't sure what I was feeling. Love left me scarred, so I don't know if I want anything to do with it again. I can't let it turn me into someone vulnerable and fragile once more. Whenever I hear the word love, Cadmus always comes to mind. I've come to hate everything that reminded me of him.However, what I had with Percy was different from what I had before. I presumed the lack of romance allowed us to be comfortable with each other. I thought it kept us from hurting each other despite being deeply attached. But it turns out, he had always been in love with me, and I... I might've been forgetting how love ruined me.At some point, I also began to imagine 'the us' that would exist after Cadmus' downfall. I forgot that I was once too confident

Another sigh escaped my lips as I put my phone away. Cadmus apologized for what happened earlier, but I knew he wasn't sorry. He just wanted an excuse to contact me.I felt awful for Percy, but I couldn't change my goals for him.My head was killing me, so I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. I drifted to sleep with Percy in my head.Just as planned, I went home early in the morning. I didn't want to, but my son was there, and I couldn't avoid Percival for so long.Walking into the kitchen, I found Percival cooking breakfast. Marcus was standing near him. They seem happy together, and I would've smiled if not for what happened last night.Percival froze when he noticed me. He gripped the spatula that he almost dropped before looking away.My son's head turned to me, and I could see his eyes light up."How is he?" I asked Percival.Percival briefly looked at me and swallowed hard before answering, "his fever's gone. You don't have to worry anymore."I nodded and brought my attenti

I walked towards Percival until I could hear their conversation. I wasn't planning to eavesdrop. I wanted my presence to be known. "How many times do I have to ask you to leave?" Percival said with a sigh of irritation. "I'm only concerned for you, Percy," Helena insisted. "If you ever need someone to talk to about this, just let me know." "He already told you to leave," I interrupted. My hand reached for Percy's arm. Helena seemed surprised at first, but her expression quickly changed. She lifted her chin and raised an eyebrow as she stared at me. "Your ex-husband is visiting you quite often," Helena said. "I'm only concerned for Percy." I laughed as I tightened my grip on Percy's arms. "Perhaps you haven't heard that my agency has a small project with Mr. Salazar's company. Those visits were solely business." Helena grinned. Unlike Minty, she kept herself composed. It was harder to read her too. My eyes briefly scanned her body, and my eyebrows shot up. She was wearing a body

Seven months later. I swore to protect Katalina and Marcus from any harm. It was a promise I'd honor until my last breath, so I kept everyone who tried under tight surveillance. Helena was still rotting in jail. I didn't need to keep an eye on Cadmus because the media had it covered for me. His divorce from Minty completely diverted the public's eyes away from Marcus. Everyone was in check. Except I didn't feel completely at ease yet. Helena's insistence that someone else wanted my wife dead, that whoever it was hated Tali more than she did, stayed in my mind for months. But I didn't want to let it linger, so I had Andrew look into it.It could've been empty threats, but I knew how Helena worked. She kept pawns. She'd poison people's minds and use them against her enemies. Everyone told me that Helena probably meant Natalie and that the last stunt Natalie pulled was the end of it. But it wouldn't hurt to be safe, especially when I think I knew who Helena meant. "I can see the gears

Percival held my hand, his stance protective and impatient to get us out. If the bodyguards wouldn't scare Natalie away, Percival's hardened expression would. The way the veins popped out told me he was frustrated he couldn't deal with Natalie himself."Don't let her get away," Percival said. A few guards left to help search for Natalie, while enough stayed to keep us surrounded. "We'll catch her this time," I said, hoping to ease some of the tension radiating from him. But even as he nodded, I knew it didn't help much. "Of course, we will. Your cousin isn't very bright," he said, his jaw clenching. The crowd was contained at some part of the venue, so the hallways weren't littered with the media. We reached the parking lot. They checked the car before Percival opened the backseat for me. "Get in," he said, his voice authoritative. I quickly hopped in, scooting over to give space for him. Our actions were fast and efficient, and we were on the road in a heartbeat. Percival didn'

Percival's hand pressed against the small of my back, his head tilted towards me, studying me as I read the article."It's from an anonymous account. Chester is working on taking it down," he said. "What do you want to do? Aside from destroying whoever posted this because I'm already on it.""It's time," I said, giving his phone back to him. "There's no need to fuss. I'll schedule an interview tomorrow."Percival pocketed the phone. He turned me towards him, thumbs caressing my forearms."So soon?" he asked, voice laced with concern. He craned his neck, discerning my expression."I've been doing this my whole life, Percy," I said, giving him a reassuring smile. "I just... there were just things in my life that I didn't want people to touch. But I kept the most human parts of me hidden, and I shouldn't have to. I'm no longer afraid of how they'll perceive me after. This has to end now."****Percival and I made arrangements for tomorrow when we returned to our hotel room. I read the ar

Dad almost died. He was in a cardiac arrest while we were away. The doctors said he was stable for now, but they didn't know how long. I stood motionless in Percival's arm, his hand stroking my back, the other cradling my head. We had done everything, and I was running out of ideas. Maybe the only option left was to grieve, even if it didn't sit right with me. Percival offered his quiet support, knowing nothing could be said to make this better, but allowing me to know he was there for me. But our little bubble of silence broke when Andrew appeared with a look of urgency."Your brother's awake."My lips parted, and Percival's grip around me loosened. Without wasting any more time, we strode to my brother's room. I held my breath until I finally saw Koen. . . awake and smiling at me.There he was. The only person who would carry this grief with me. I gave him a faint smile as I walked to his bed, settling on the seat beside it."How are you?" I asked gently."Alive," he huffed out. "

"Is that so?" I asked. "You have no idea how deep you are in the mud right now, do you? Your parents begged us to spare your company--not you, just your company. Your people were so easily bought because their loyalty came with a price."I wasn't sure if she was bluffing or trying to salvage what little pride she had left. But anything she says wouldn't change her fate. There was no life for her outside the bars anymore--not that I'd ever let her out. The amusement on Helena's face slowly died. Her lips formed a thin line as she glared at me. I raised my eyebrows at the change in her demeanor. I guess what I said was new information to her."I never needed them anyway," she mumbled. I didn't think she intended for me to hear that. "But you... how will you survive now that your parents are gone?""My parents are always with me, even when I lose my way or when we're apart. They actually raised me with love and warmth, and I'd say it's a pity you don't have those. But you had plenty of

The officer sat uncomfortably behind his desk, seeming uneasy and intimidated. It was probably due to the office being quite small for five people. There were only two available seats in the room, and my husband and I occupied them. Our lawyer and Andrew were standing behind Percy. They told us that they found Helena while she was trying to board a ship bound for an island far from the capital. Natalie wasn't with her. But we already had a list of places where she could be hiding. Someone knocked on the door, and the officer immediately got up. I smiled as a familiar face came into the room. It was my father's friend and the chief."Katalina, it's nice to see you again. Although, I much prefer to meet you for a different reason," he said with a look of pity. It had been a while since I last saw him, but he had been my father's friend even before my brother and I were born. He and his wife didn't have children, so they often visited us when we were younger. "Vincent, thank you for yo

It took two days before the doctors said that my brother's condition had improved and he would wake up anytime soon. I wanted to stay by their side, but we had to head home each night for Marcus. After three days, we decided to discuss the situation with Helena. My family was my top priority, but it was time they filled me in with everything that happened while I was occupied at the hospital and at home.We were at the house, in Percival's office, along with Andrew and Rocco. They laid out pictures of where Helena was spotted after the incident.She might've gotten away, but she'd have no place to hide or people to rely on. Even her trusted assistant had agreed to help us in exchange for a clean slate. Helena might have had the upper hand when we didn't know who was pulling the strings. But even her people knew she'd lose the battle the moment she was discovered. Because in the world we live in, for most people, facing the Marquez head-on was just not possible.All of Helena's crimes

We decided to transfer Aisha here since we couldn't send her back to the hospital where she was originally admitted. She was determined to be by Koen's side, so we let her. I was sure my brother would want her to be at ease. So, we arranged her room to be next to his.While Percy was busy, I brought Aisha to Koen's room. I knew she wanted to run to his side the moment we entered, but she stood with glazed eyes by the door until I told her it was okay to come close. She greeted him with the softest voice I had ever heard and continued to be so careful as she touched him. My brother was still strapped to machines, and I hoped whatever Aisha was saying to him would be enough to bring him back.After she finished talking to him, we both sat quietly in his room. The nurses kept tending to her, asking her to return to her room, but she would beg them to let her stay by his side a little longer.I didn't say anything for the first hour that we sat there. Aisha was clearly worried, and I knew

This was a private hospital with a floor dedicated to their VIP patients. The lounge near the ICU and the corridor to my brother's room were exclusive to us. The other areas and rooms on this floor were also exclusive to the patients occupying them. It was impossible to loiter around without permission.We weren't accepting visitors. That was why this girl here was being driven away by the security and staff. But she seemed panicked, and her voice was begging."Who are you?" I asked as I walked toward them. My eyebrows were knitted as I scanned her appearance. She was wearing a jacket over her hospital gown. Her face looked pale, and she was wearing a beanie. Another patient?She looked at me in shock. I could sense the hesitation, but we both knew the only way to my brother was through me. And she seemed desperate. "I... I'm Aisha. I just want to see Koen. I want to know if he's alright.""Why? Why do you need to know? Who are you?" I asked again. Firmly this time. I had never met th
