All Chapters of The Billionaire's Regret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Leena's POV“Mr. James, this is a family affair. Please stay away from it.” My adoptive father cautioned him.“If I remember correctly, I'm also part of this family… as my in-law.” He curled his lips, staring at him.“Then, don't try to stop us from taming our child.” My adoptive mother said in provocation.“Leena might be your child but she is no longer a baby and this boy, he is her real brother which gives you no right to take hostage of him.” He began.It felt great to have someone by yourself. I mean, all through my life I didn't have anyone who would fight for me or protect me but James was doing those things I had always wanted.He took a step closer, approaching my adoptive father.“And you know what happens if you try to do it by force, I won't relent to sue you to court.” He threatened them curtly.“James! You can't do this!” Jane cried out.“I'm supposed to be your wife, Leena stole my place. We only want her to do the right thing and that's all.” Jane rashly explained to h

Leena's POVThis was the third call I had planned to ignore for the day but it kept on ringing, so I quickly picked it up and rushed to the restroom.All eyes were on me.Since the announcement, I seemed to be working towards my new status.“Where did you say you were, Leena?” It was James and that was the first question he fired at me as soon as I answered the call.“What do you mean? Of course, I'm working.” This was the umpteenth time I was informing him of my location.Did he know that I visited my adoptive parents or was he tracking me?As much as I was worried, I didn't let it get to me.“I'm in front of your office, come out.” He commanded seriously and I froze in shock.“Wh… what?” I almost gasped. I held my emotion for getting the best out of me.“You have five minutes to come out, otherwise you won't like my action. I'm waiting.” He said coldly and before I could speak, the call ran into a beep.“Gosh, what should I do?” I bit my lips, falling into panic mode.“I… I have to

Leena's POV“This is not the end of the battle, Leena.” Martins grinned.“At least, I won and I won't be crossing paths with you again.” I said confidently.“Better watch your back, I promise to make you suffer this shame you have caused my family. You are nothing but an ingrate!” Jane hissed.From her voice and facial expression, it was obvious that she was annoyed.“Ingrate?” I scoffed, curling my lips.“After everything my parents have done for you…?” Jane dragged her last word, giving me a dirty look.“What did they do for me other than fooling me to get something from me? They do good things for me when they want my help, so there is no difference. They helped me and I helped them too!” I reminded her curtly and she fell shut.“You have got a voice now since you are married to a rich man. We shall see what happens when you get dumped. Do you think this is his first marriage?” Mrs. Martins’ scornfully asked and the trio laughed.For some reason, that word got to me and made my moo

Leena's POV “Sister, you have been in a bad mood these days. Are you alright?” Kelvin asked as he strolled into the dinning room still in his pajamas.“No, I'm fine.” I lied, shaking my head.The toasting machine made a sharp sound, pushing out the sliced bread and I took them out, placing it on the plate.“Here, this is for you. Do you want mayonnaise?” I asked warmly.“Yeah with a cup of coffee.” He said.“Right up!” I smirked, heading to the coffee machine.“Sister, where is uncle James?” His question startled me but thankfully the mug didn't slip from my hand.“Why are you asking about him so early?” I forced out a smile, placing the cup of coffee on the table.“He promised to take me out today and get me whatever I want.” He pouted his lips, his doey eyes trying to crumble my defenses.I didn't want him to start building a relationship with James.What if James and I divorce or something happens?Our relationship wasn't progressing and I didn't want Kelvin to suffer from it.I d

James' POV Checking my wrist watch and slowly gulping down the wine, I lifted my gaze at the bulky man sitting across from me.“Mr. Wellosco, did you hear me?” The bulky man who was my current top client, Mr. Whyte asked and I sighed.“One thing I hate in business is adding marriage in deals and you know that.” I rubbed my chin.He smirked, nodding his head.“You are right but I'm only a desperate father who wants to see his daughter get married and bear my grandchildren.” He spilled bluntly, locking his gaze with mine.“My daughter is approaching thirty five.” He began and his headline attracted my interest.“Over the years, she has been giving me different kinds of features she needed in a man, one thing or the other. But in this dire hour, she pointed at you. She wants to get married to you, that is why I'm using this marriage as a seal for our contract.” He meticulously explained to me and I nodded my head.“Must it be me? I have a good suitor for her. He has money, face and ever
