All Chapters of The Billionaire's regret: a second chance at love: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

|Aria’s POV|It’s finally the most anticipated day for me and my loved ones.Yes, it was my engagement party and the butterflies in my stomach doubled as we journeyed to the garden where it would be held.Something nagged at me for not bringing my children along to the party, but that meant they would be exposed to people I really didn’t want them to know.Celebrities' lives were hard enough because they had to do things according to what society deemed right, or else they would be criticized by the same society.My skin tingled with excitement as we drove into the garden. My gaze flickered towards Zion’s, and his reassuring smile slackened my hunched shoulders.‘I am doing this with Zion, nothing would go wrong.’But despite the reassurance, I can’t help but worry and feel the knot in my stomach growing within me that something might go wrong today. Something big, but maybe I was overthinking it.My memories had been returning in fold, so I didn’t bother rehearsing how to react to gu

|Aria’s POV| What would you do if the same thing happened to you twice? Would you give up totally or continue trying till you get it right? A deep exhale escaped his lips and he ran his hand through his hair. “Babe… I swear, it is not what it looked like.” “This is the second fucking time I have heard that today, and it is starting to really get on my nerves and piss me off. Tell me what the fuck happened before I call off this engagement now.” I seethed. Was it that I was cursed with cheating partners? As if I didn’t have bad luck enough! “What happened wasn’t meant to happen and Penelope did not want to worry you,” He muttered. “Did you sleep with my best friend?? Is that it??” I accused, my voice trembling with rage. “Or why are you suddenly talking for her? Just go straight to the point and let me know what decision I will make because I won’t tolerate a cheating partner the second time!” I gritted out, wiping the tears that were falling uncontrollably. Taking a deep breath

|Aria's POV|Do you know why most people hate their exes? Because they become troublesome once they realize that you have dropped them from their high horses and moved on with any person.Zion's face had remained stoic, and he had volunteered to follow me everywhere I went for the past two days.It doesn't take a genius to know that the meeting didn't go well.*Flashback**Rushing into the garage after hearing the sound of an engine in the driveway. My eyes widened with concern and I asked anxiously the moment he opened the door. “Babe, you are back. What did you guys discuss? Did he agree to sign the divorce papers?”“Hi babe.” He mumbled.He pulled me closer and kissed me on the lips. The kiss was more of an ownership claim than the passionate ones we usually shared.“Is there any possibility of you leaving me for Ace?” He asked softly, his voice heavily laced with vulnerability..“No, why did you ask? What did he tell you?” I fired back.“I just don't want to fight for someone who

|Aria's POV|The weekend was over, and guess whose short holiday was over? Yes, mine.It's Tuesday, and I was already praying for Friday commencement. It's almost a week since Zion left, and it hurts so bad that I didn't think I would miss him as much as I did.I was all alone by myself and there was only little Brianna could do. Penelope's boss has resumed being a bitch and giving her extra work, but guess who still made time to pull up in the children's school yesterday with their favorite car?Yes, Penny. Her level of pettiness needed to be studied because she wanted them to be so embarrassed and when they all got home yesterday, they gave me hell with their red faces.~Flash back~“Mama, there is no way that Aunt Penny should be allowed to pick us up in that thingy,” Zoe groaned.“Yes, seriously. She had better spray it with black paint.” Zachary grumbled, consenting to his sister's words.“Maybe my next choice would be hot pink. Since you little shits are so in love with the colo

|Ace’s POV|The game was over before it even began. I guess I could now see the reason why Zion looked at me like I was stupid when he saw my determination to fight for Aria.Please help me find my kidsPlease help me find my kidsKidsKidsAria has not one, but two kids with Zion.The way the tears rolled down my cheeks made a tightness appear in my chest and I hurriedly pulled her up.She shouldn't be kneeling for me, or else she wanted to suck me off but that wasn't the case. I only wanted her on her knees for pleasure, not desperation.“Ace, please help me. I can't live without those kids.” Her voice cracked and more tears rolled down her cheek.I instinctively raised my fingers to her face and wiped her tears with my thumb. Even if I was going to use every one of my connections to make sure Aria stopped crying, I wouldn't hesitate.I thought seeing her cry for the first time at that ball made my heart ache, but her sunken eyes and swollen face made me miserable and I swear, I wil
