Semua Bab Billionaire's Regret: Second Chance At Love : Bab 81 - Bab 90

(Allison's POV) "What happened at the hospital?" I asked Scott, offering him a glass of water. He accepted it but didn't drink much from it. He was sitting in the dining room, so I sat two chairs away from him, staring at his wet eyes. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about him. "What happened? Did something happen to any of your family members?" I asked. I didn't know any of his family members because Scott had been discreet about it even while we were dating. "I don't want to talk about it, Allie," he sniffled. "And you think I'd just accept it like that? You came home looking sad. You don't expect me to keep silent about it." "Where's Liam?" he asked. "He's already sleeping. But don't try to change the topic, Scott. What happened? You know me—I won't stop asking until you give me answers," I demanded, and he smiled warmly at me. "Of course, I know you, Allie. I dated you, remember? You've always been persistent," he smiled again, those dimples of his ap

(Scott's POV) "What happened?" Allison asked when I approached her with a frown on my face. "It's nothing," I replied, forcing out a smile. "I don't believe there's nothing, Scott. I know when you're faking a smile and when you're truly smiling," she stated. "You know me so well, Allie," I said in a voice that was barely above a whisper. "Yeah, I do. I don't want to say this, but..." she hesitated before continuing. "You used to be my boyfriend." I smiled at her words. Once I gained her family's forgiveness, being her boyfriend would be a thing of the past because I was going to marry her ASAP. "So what happened in here?" she pressed on. "Nothing much. It's just Jason being annoying," I said, leaving out the part where he had threatened to endanger her life. I didn’t want her to feel unsafe. I didn't just have a family that didn't love me, I also had a messed-up family. "You shouldn't let him get to you, Scott," she said, tapping my shoulder with a smile, though sh

(Writer's POV) Skye's eyes widened in shock as Alex kissed her. She hadn't seen it coming—not after how he had rejected her. She got her thoughts straight, and just when she was about to kiss him back, Alex broke the kiss. Realizing what he had just done, he ran his hands through his hair. "Why did you kiss me, Alex?" Skye asked with a smile. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you, Skye. I'm so sorry," he apologized, and the smile on her face turned into sadness. "What do you mean you didn't mean to kiss me? You kissed me out of the blue, so what the heck are you saying, Alex?" Skye asked, her voice strained. She thought the kiss meant something to Alex. She had hoped maybe he was finally starting to like her and that was why he kissed her—only for her hopes to be crushed by his apology. "I wasn't thinking when I kissed you." "I still don't understand you, Alex." "I'm sorry, Skye. I shouldn't have kissed you out of the blue. I just had a misunderstanding with the woman I love,

(Allison's POV) "Are you sure you're not the only one dating yourself in this so-called relationship with your boyfriend?" Elena asked after Bonnie finished explaining her situation with Peter. We were seated together in a coffee shop, enjoying some time to ourselves since none of us had anything to do at our respective workplaces. "Peter is a really nice guy," Bonnie defended him, but this wasn't the first time I'd heard her do so. She was always quick to defend him, and I couldn't blame her—she just loved him too much. Moreover, I had met Peter before, and he did seem like a nice guy. "It's not always about being nice, Bonnie. Men can be nice just to cover up the fact that they're cheating on you," Elena said. "Peter isn't cheating on me. I'm the only woman he loves," Bonnie insisted. "Then why has he been so distant from you? Like you said, he doesn't answer your calls, and when you text him, he doesn’t reply or even try to call you back when he misses your calls," El

(Writer's POV) Loud laughter filled the room as they all celebrated their victory in getting Jason out of jail. "Didn't I tell you Scott would drop the case the moment you hurt that woman or her family?" Jenna said with a smirk. "We owe it all to you, Jenna. And also to Michael and his girlfriend for pulling off their roles," Gwen said with a smile as she caressed Jason's hair, who clung to her like a child. "Jason is my friend. So when Uncle Hugo came with the offer to pull such an act, I couldn't say no. Thank you, babe, for pretending to be unconscious the whole time," Michael said, and his girlfriend kissed him. "It's nothing, babe. Anything for you," she smiled. "So Scott is still so much in love with that woman?" Hugo asked, not sounding happy about it. "Of course he is. If he wasn't crazy about her, he wouldn't have easily dropped the case against Jason," Jenna answered. Jason smirked, stood up, and sat beside Jenna, who quickly looked at him with irritation. "What the
