All Chapters of The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

I turned my face away with disgust. "And why didn't I disappear after everyone treated me like trash, Uncle?" I retorted harshly. He didn't know that I overheard his conversation with Tara. "Of course, all of this couldn't have happened without Tara's involvement, your beloved daughter."Uncle Vincent fell silent, looking at me coldly. I saw his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed, or maybe the drink."You can come back to me, Sha! You know I'll protect you," Uncle Vincent argued.I laughed, bursting into laughter while holding back the pain in my chest. "Protect me, you said, Uncle? How impressive!"Uncle Vincent frowned. "What's so funny, Sha?" he asked, seeming offended by my attitude."Don't pretend to care about me! I know what you've been hiding all this time," I accused him with hatred. Now, I don't care about anything anymore. Better to be honest than continue playing cat and mouse with this old wreck."I'm not hiding anything from you, Sha," Uncle Vincent retorte

VINCENTI saw my Sasha getting into a car with a man. Damn! Did she leave me for a new boyfriend? A younger guy?"Who's that man?" I asked Donna, the assistant who was helping me familiarize myself with the hotel. She was also helping me secretly select candidates for the new hotel's GM position."He's Reynald Adams, sir! Division room manager, a candidate for GM with the best performance," Donna replied in a professional tone.Damn. So, he's the top GM candidate?"He's hitting on a staff member? Is he the best … what?" I asked irritably. I really disliked workplace romances. It reminded me of Freya's affair with Sasha’s father."Rey doesn't have any bad record like that, sir!" Donna defended. She looked at her iPad and added, "He... is the best employee here. All housekeeping issues have been resolved since he joined."I nodded. I really didn't want to argue with Donna. I would find out for myself later."Oh, and also! Get me a dress that fits this size," I ordered Donna, handing her

I entered Mr. Rey's car awkwardly. It was supposed to be a special evening, and I felt like I was being treated like a princess. Mr. Rey was a true gentleman, even opening the car door for me. I felt guilty for forcing a smile and whispering a thank you. Throughout the journey, it was only Mr. Rey who spoke. It turned out that Rachel couldn't meet Noah because she wanted to stay over at her friend's house. Mr. Rey promised to bring Noah to their house another time to introduce him to Rachel. Once again, I just nodded, as my mind wasn't really there. How could I not be in turmoil? I still didn't feel at ease after Ms. Donna's arrival earlier. Did that guy still think I was his toy? Would I have to obey him again? "Sha, you've been quiet the whole time, don't you like Vino's work?" Mr. Rey asked. In an instant, he took out his phone. I instinctively grabbed the phone without thinking. "Please, don't, Mr. Rey! I love Vino's makeup! It's great! Don't badmouth Vino's beauty salon on soc

"Sha, I'll always break the rules when I'm with you, Sha. Do you forget that I had an affair with you while I was still married to Freya?" Uncle Vincent asked with a sardonic laugh. His eyes looked at me with disdain. "And because you're in my hotel, I'll never conduct any of this professionally," Uncle Vincent said as he raised his feet onto the table, then spun his chair around. "I would never be professional when dealing with you."I shook my head in disbelief at his cruel words. Why couldn't this guy just leave me alone?"Think about it, why do you think I bought this lousy hotel?" he asked again. "Because I saw a picture of you … working here as a maid!"Uncle Vincent handed me some documents on the table. Photos of the hotel's general appearance are meant for potential buyers. Oh my god! I had to decline when the previous owner asked me to be a model for the housekeeping department.Ah, because of that little thing, I ended up in this mess. Good deeds don't always yield sweet re
