All Chapters of The Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Wife Back: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The stares followed me to my office. Had Benita not been with me, I would have exploded from the stares. But with Benita, who kept on asking me to keep my focus on her. She was the reason I kept my cool while pretending not to notice their stares. “Don't mind them. It's not like they can do anything other than stare all they want.” Benita pushed into the office, smiling as she plopped down on the couch. “Why don't I camp out here for the rest of the day? Your office is the best in the entire world. Do you mind if I stay?" “If you like.” I stepped over to my desk. “You can even help me go through those files on my desk. I feel like Dashiell and this company are out to take my head.” Always one for taking advantage of the situation, I tried to rope her into my work. Chuckling, she got up from the couch and walked over to me, sitting on the chair opposite mine as she reached for the top file. “What are you going to do about this? Will you confront Mr James about it or….”Lifting my

LILITHI didn't see Dashiell after he left that day. I tried calling him, but each time he always had an excuse to give, making me realize Nova had something to do with it. She was the only one who could control him that much. Zoey asked me to exercise patience and that everything would be sorted out soon, but I couldn't help my fears. What if Dashiell doesn't return after this? How do I get him back? It seemed the more I tried to get him to return to my side, the more distance he put between us, like a wedge keeping me on my side. Zoey, seeing just how much I was hurting from Dashiell's silence, brought a plan, one we had executed. It took hiring a secret detective for us to get these pictures of them. Posting it wasn't a problem. Zoey was good at that. As a computer science student and an acclaimed hacker — her words, not mine — she knew her way with the computer system. She promised no one could trace the IP address back to us and so far; we have had no issues. “What are you thin

I lifted my eyebrows at that. I thought he would get straight to the point instead of trying to act like he was doing. "Of course not.”“Remember that day you went to hospital? The day I was supposed to take Nova to Mama Kaka's place five years ago?” Dashiell asked, his eyes locked on mine. “Ye… Yes,” Lilith replied, her tone cautious. “Is there anything wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about this?” “Did you take Nova to the hospital?” Dashiell's voice was firm. He didn't beat around the bush like I assumed he would, seeing how much he was threading around her. Silence. “Lilith?” Dashiell pressed. “Didn't you hear what I asked?” “I'm sorry. The network coverage here isn't that good. What did you just ask?” “Did you take Nova to the hospital on that day?” “Why should I?” She expertly lied. “I didn't get to see her until I saw her leave with that man. I sent pictures, didn't I?” “I wasn't asking about this. I want to know what took place on that day. Did you go to my house t

NOVADashiell's office was in a buzz today, and I got to understand why when Benita came to check on me. Obviously, Dashiell had been happy since he left my office, allowing the workers to use his kindness for the day. By the end of the workday, almost everyone in the office had taken a leave, each for an outrageous reason. I heard one took a break because the dog wanted to go on a date. A date??? And you had to ask for a week to do that? It was amusing hearing all those excuses, but more so to know Dashiell fell for them. “Are you going anywhere today?” Benita frowned when I got up after checking the time. “Why?” “Didn't you say we will work until 7? Why are you getting ready to leave? Do you have something you need to do at home?” Though those words sounded innocent, the way she batted her eyelashes was anything but that. “Yeah, there's something I need to take care of at home.” “What?” She leaned closer. “Is it related to why Mr James was so happy today he almost sign

He hesitated, then answered, stepping away from me so he would focus on the call. “Hey, Ken. What's up? Is everything alright?" A pause."What? When? Why didn't anyone tell me about this when I left? Didn't you notice it then?" Dashiell's expression changed from serenity to concern. “Okay, I will be right there. I'm close to the office.” He hung up, his eyes apologetic. “Emergency at the office. I have to go.”"Oh." Disappointment washed over me. It wasn't clear to me why I didn't want him to go. I felt this need to keep him by my side, but I knew it would be impossible to do that. “What's wrong? What happened?” I asked when I realized he was watching me, probably waiting for me to ask him that. “It's nothing to worry about. Just an issue with the documents I signed today. It won't take much of my time. Don't worry.” He leaned down and placed a kiss on my forehead. “I will be back before you know it.”"Do you want me to escort you? I can help you with some things you know, like —
