Theodore's Regret 13. Sick
Theodore“What the fuck is this? Do you have eyes or buttons? Who filled out these quotations? And this is how you proofread any work before handing it over to me?” Everything was a disaster! Don't know for what reason, I was more agitated than I had ever been. I was just barking orders, and my assistant was hot on his toes going back and forth with a number of documents I solved at him. “Get this shit fixed now!” “Yes Mr. Maxwell,” he said before running out of the office. Why the fuck was I feeling so hot? Taking off my coat, I tossed it on the couch before loosening my tie. Picking up the telephone, I dialed my assistant’s extension yet again. “Get me a coffee on your way back,” I didn't wait for him to respond back before harshly slamming it back. I squeezed my eyes shut, rubbing my forehead to release some tension. But did it help? Absolutely not. A few minutes later, I heard a knock on the door and told the person to come in, knowing it would be my assistant. “Here's your co
Theodore's Regret 14. Can you help me?
Alina“He's got a pretty high fever after not giving his body a rest for days. Not the first time this has happened. I suggest you kindly take care of his meals and try to get him to eat at least three times a day. He's been skipping meals a lot. Moreover, see that he takes proper rest and sleep. It would be good if Mr. Maxwell works from home for the next few days and tries not to strain himself too much,” I kept nodding at the doctor as Anders stood taking notes. “These are the medicines he should take for the next 48 hours, and he'll be better.” “Thank you Dr. Henry,” I nodded once again. “Anders, please get Dr. Henry dropped at his home safely, and get these medicines on the way back.” I handed him the prescription paper. “Of course, Miss Alina,” he nodded before moving out. Sighing, I turned to face the sleeping figure of Theodore. He looked so calm and peaceful. Exactly the opposite of what he is in real life; a hurricane. Should I wake him up now? I looked at the soup I had
Theodore's Regret 15. Work On Sunday
Alina “Can you help me?” “With what?” This time I turned around with a frowning face?” “To change?” I was sure I turned the shade of a cherry. My eyes widened at his response. He did not just say that, did he? “What?” “I mean, can you get my clothes from the wardrobe? I really don't feel well. You know, dizzy and lethargic,” right, calm down, Alina. Get your mind out of the gutter! He was just asking for help to get his clothes. Not actually help him change. “Sure,” I nodded. “Do you want anything specific?” “Anything comfortable would do. When you walk into the wardrobe, the left side is dedicated to all the sweats and t-shirts.” “Right,” I quickly moved to the sliding wardrobe and was amazed at how organized it was. I slid the door of the first cupboard to the left, making my cheeks burn instantly at the sight of his boxers. Oops, definitely not this one. Sliding the door open to the next one, I sighed in relief when I saw some trousers and shirts. I don't know why
Theodore's Regret 16. Under Arrest
TheodoreThat bastard did it again. He will never learn, will he? The very next morning, I kicked open his office door and entered like I owned it. I did l, in fact, own it. There was no doubt about it. He stood up from his desk after acknowledging my presence. “Ah, Theodore. What a surp-”“-It’s Mr. Maxwell for you!” My voice laced with venom, made him gulp at my words. “Haha, come on now. There should be no formalities now that you are my son-in-law. You didn't have to come all the way here. You should have called me instead.” He said awkwardly, filling in the silence. He moved out of his desk and approached me. “Come, have a seat. We can talk about whatever you want,” he pointed at the couch in his office. “Your friend is also welcome, don't worry,” he offered Daniel, who was standing in the doorway, looking bored at the whole scene. I smirked at him. He really wasn't doing that, was he? “Sure, let's talk.” I brushed past him, bumping into his shoulder purposely before taking lo
Theodore's Regret 17. The Gift
Theodore “Already got the news of your daddy dearest, I assume?” My voice came out harsher than intended. But I didn't care. Her father had already cost me a lot of time. And now, she'll be the one to carry out his plans. But I'll ruin her before she can even think about it. Alina abruptly jerked up from her position and met my eyes. “Excuse me ?” She quickly wiped the remaining tears on her face as she continued to look at me in confusion. So she didn't know about her father? Why was she crying? Oh cut it. It was just an act. But what if it's not? What if there is something that is worrying her? My heart fought. “Why are you crying?” “Why do you care?” Oh, so she's back to being her bratty self. She broke eye contact and looked back at the sky. I've had enough of this ignoring. I cannot be ignored! Bending down to her level, I held her chin and aggressively jerked her face to make her look at me. “Listen you-” I forgot what I was saying when I felt my heart pang at the sight bef
Theodore's Regret 18. Sudden Changes
TheodoreI walked into the living room after a long day of work, hoping to get one glance at Alina. Fuck, I had gone crazy. I was hoping to steal a glance of the woman who was the daughter of the person I hated immensely. My heart calmed in satisfaction after spotting her situated on the sofa, comfortably with her legs tucked under her hips, as she continued punching some keys on the laptop. She was so engrossed in her work, she only realized my presence when I went to take a seat opposite her. “Oh, you are back,” she said with a straight face.“I am. Not happy to see me, are you?” “Who said that? I was just surprised you are early today,” She looked at her worst watch. “Hm. You talk like you haven't been ignoring me for the past two days.”“Why would I be ignoring you?” She frowned. Because I was a bitch to you? “I don't know. You tell me.” She sighed at my response. “I really don't know what you are talking about.” My gaze fell on the emerald pendant, gently resting on her co
Theodore's Regret 19. Beautiful Wife
Alina's PovI gave myself a final overview in the mirror. The blue dress did well to enhance the curves on my body. It was a full sleeve silk body-con dress, reaching my ankles. Not too bad, I think. I looked at the clock which stated 7:30. Shit, I am late. I heard a knock on the door, making me glance at it as I put on my earrings. Must be Martha coming to inform me that her dearest Mr. Maxwell is probably going crazy downstairs waiting for me. “Come in,” I announce, hurriedly working on my earrings. I heard the door open before shutting back. “Sorry Martha. I know Theodore might probably be eating your ear out for me being late,” I didn't hear anything back from which made me turn around and face her. “Just let him know I'll be down in two min-” my words died in my throat as my eyes fell on the person who was in my room. “Theodore?” To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I was flabbergasted. Did he come all the way here to give me an earful for being late? He remained si
Theodore's Regret 20. Your Scent Drives Me Crazy
Alina's Pov The dinner was finally over, and I couldn't wait to get home when Mr. Summers decided to spend some quality time over wine. Only if the time was of quality, I thought. “So Alina, when am I expecting little Theodore and Alina running around? I'm sure they are going to be so beautiful, just like you two,” I coughed, choking on my wine, and Nathan came to my rescue. “Are you alright?” He asked, lightly tapping on my back. Theodore was sitting across from me, whereas Nathan sat on the couch next to me, which made him closer to me in this situation. Mr. And Mrs. Summers were sitting adjacent to Nathan at a little distance. “Fine,” I inhaled a sharp breath before pushing Nathan's hand off myself. He was really doing this on purpose just to get on Theodore’s skin. I knew it was working with the glare Theodore was pinning Nathan with currently. That man could hardly contain his anger. “Be careful there,” Nathan commented once before taking his place back. “Anyway, so when am
