The Billionaire's Regret 7. Sweet Mess
Leena's POV“Doctor, I got your call.” I ran into the hospital like one whose world was about to crumble.The doctor lifted his gaze and returned it to the file he was reading.“You are here.” He grumbled.“My apologies, I left my phone on silent all through the night. “ I began.“I came here as soon as I saw the missed calls. Is everything okay?” I rambled with words impatiently and he sighed heavily.“Mrs. Leena, it's about your brother.” He said and my gaze became intent and anxiety lingering in them.“What about him?” I asked.“He hasn't been responding to treatment since yesterday, the first and second surgery we did wasn't successful. We tried to suppress his bleeding but his condition isn't good. And you know you haven't paid any money in yet, we might close the case.” After he calmly explained to me, his voice grew cold.“Please bear with me, Doctor. I'm supposed to make another payment but funds aren't forthcoming.” I began dolefully.“This is not my hospital, Leena. I only a
The Billionaire's Regret 8. Fake Prince Charming
Leena's POV“James, how about you go ahead while I finish my business with him.” I suggested, curling my lips.“And you think I will foolishly leave you with another man?” He snorted in annoyance, making me astonished.“But… this has nothing to do with you.” I stuttered, trying to remind him.“It seems you have forgotten that you're my wife.” He walked over to me and grabbed my waist, my neck bone straightened as his touch sent sharp jolts of shivers up my spine.I tried to hide my flustered cheeks.“Young man, what does my wife owe you?” He asked Mike seriously and Mike rubbed his chin.I tried to signal him not to say a word but unlike anyone, Mike loved money. He knew I might not be able to pay him immediately but seeing how influential my husband was and the kind of building we are living in, it was easier and faster for him to get his money back with enough interest.“You see… the thing is… your wife here is owing me the sum of $500,000 making it a total of $650,000 including int
The Billionaire's Regret 9. Speaking Through the Eyes
James POV“You did the same thing again, didn't you?” Harry, my personal assistant said as soon as I stepped into my penthouse.“Why? Is it bad?” I raised a brow, turning the wine into the glass.“Well, she might be getting it all wrong again. I mean, no one will believe that video calls are fake. I doubted it the first time you showed it to me.” He shrugged.“Let her think whatever it is but I don't want her to rely on me first nor do I want any vulnerability.” I informed him coldly.“Boss, Miss. Leena needs to know who you really are, and your true nature so she wouldn't get the wrong details about you.” He said dolefully.“Harry, are you in love with Leena or something?” I intentionally tried to tease him, curling my lips.“Of… of course not, boss.” He rattled out, stuttering and I laughed.“I'm only concerned about her. Right now, she thinks you're a playboy.” He frowned.“Do I look like I care?” I drank from the glass, nodding my head as I walked to my study room.“Back to busine
The Billionaire's Regret 10. A Knock on My Heart
Leena's POV“James, there are some things that doesn't need to be spoken, you know that right?” I raised a brow, staring at him.“True but I have to explain what happened earlier.” He insisted while sitting down on the dining chair.“I'm not interested.” I said bluntly and he looked disappointed and sad.“What?...w… why?” He stuttered nervously, staring at me.No doubt he was scared because of the way I would have reacted after seeing his video call.“Have you forgotten we didn't marry out of love?” I raised a brow, staring at him and he swallowed hard on nothing, while staring at me.It was high time I got used to it and also knew my position in this relationship. It wasn't only him that had the right to remind me of our contractual agreement.Besides, I didn't want to get my hopes up in his life as he didn't look like one who was willing or ready to settle.“Leena.” He trailed off, attempting to touch my hand but I pulled it away.“As much as it's a contract marriage, I didn't have
The Billionaire's Regret 11. My Husband Loves Me
Leena's POV“Yes, I do.” The word left my lips fluently and to back it up, I gave him a deep kiss which he impatiently retaliated, kissing me passionately.As the kiss grew intense and we tore each other's clothes away, I squeezed the duvet and licked my lips hungrily.“Wake up, sleepy head!” I heard a familiar voice, sounding so alluring in my head.Wait! It was a dream? Or not?Which part was a dream?I gradually opened my eyes and found myself in the master bedroom, James was before me, holding a tray containing mouth-watery breakfast.Toasted bread, scrambled eggs, sliced fruits of Apples, cucumbers, and watermelon, a glass of hangover drink and coffee.Maybe not everything was a dream.I stumbled out of bed.“Give me a sec.” I said, rushing into the bathroom.I washed my face and arranged my hair so as not to look like a morning demon before returning to the room.He was still there, waiting for me with a broad smile on his face.“What happened last night?” I asked him calmly, si
The Billionaire's Regret 12. Unraveling Secrets
Leena's POV“Hey, are you okay?” He broke the awkward silence in the car and I nodded my head nervously.“Yeah, I think I'm.” I muttered.“The students looked surprised to see me… did you happen to check about me online?” He wiggled his brows and I chuckled.“You're really one mysterious person, James. Which should I believe? A crippled or a rich Billionaire?” I questioned, rubbing my chin.“About the crippled stuff, that's the only way for my stepfamily to get at me. It's fake, you know.” He sighed.“And the rich billionaire, do you want me to believe that?” I asked calmly, raising a brow.“Of course. If it was a lie, your course mates would have suspected it. I'm quite popular.” He bragged, tossing his hair to the side which gave him a charming look.“You should start trusting your husband.” He added.“So, which companies do you own or work for? And why haven't you told me anything about it until today?” I gave him a suspicious look and he laughed shortly.“About that… you will have
The Billionaire's Regret 13. New Attraction
Leena's POV“Why isn't he back?” I groaned as I checked the time and grumpily stepped down from the bed.It was 2:35am.I have been drowsily waiting for him but I hadn't heard the bell ring or car engine from the garage.I wrapped myself in my sleeping wear and went downstairs.“Should I call him? He left in a hurry though.” I didn't know why I was anxious and worried about him.I stepped out of the living room and stood at the entrance, scanning the yard with my eyes.I spotted the car he had left with, it was in the garage.“Is he back?” I muttered to myself as I returned to the living room.I checked the guest rooms downstairs but was welcomed by its silence.“Where is he?” I grew worried, my hands trembling as I tried to dial his number.“Still awake, princess?” His voice gave me sharp shivers and my phone fell from my hand.He turned on the light in the dining room, he was wearing his sleeping wear too.He grabbed the glass cup and approached me.“I… I didn't know you were here…”
The Billionaire's Regret 14. Caught in the Act
Leena's POVWe arrived at a restaurant close to our working place.“Welcome!” The lady at the counter greeted us and went back to what she was calculating.We took our seat at a corner and exhaled almost together.“You must have been exhausted.” He commented and I nodded my head.“How was your first day?” He asked, raising a brow.“Not bad.” I shyly curled my lips.“That's good.” He continuously nodded his head.“Our workplace and team work like family, it's rare to witness bullying or overwork.” He paused.“But our head director can be quite annoying. I hope you avoid him if you see him in future.” He warned me seriously and I smirked.“Compared to my working line, I doubt if I would have anything to do with the director.” I informed him and he laughed.Soon, the waitress walked over to us holding the menu. We narrowed our gaze to her direction.“Hello, please what can I get for you?” She flashed us a warm smile, handing the menu to us.“What do you want?” He raised his brow, staring
