Theodore's Regret 77. Dreams
Alina's Pov “Please, please tell me you said no! Please?” I sighed as Thea screeched out her concern, making me slightly wince at how loud she was. But I couldn't really blame her. The reaction was expected with the sudden news I broke. “I signed the contract. He used it against me,” I sighed, explaining my hands were pretty much tied up. “This bastard! He thinks he can just separate the two of us just like that? Well he is mistaken. No way in hell are you moving out!” Thea stood to her feet, her hands finding her hips angrily as she stomped her foot thinking of possible ways to get me out of the situation. “I've already thought about it, Thea. I don't have a choice. Once again.” I honestly hated that everytime I promised myself I would stay away from these problems, the more I found myself getting caught up in them. It was ridiculously annoying. “Wait, so you and Asher….you guys are just going to leave me? Just like that?” Thea sulked, dropping the bed and I could hear her voic
Theodore's Regret 78. The Comments
Alina's Pov “Don't cause much trouble for Annie ok? Just watch some movies and play with your superman until I'm back,” I kissed Asher on the forehead before he smiled at me. “Ok mummy.” Theodore had thankfully let me continue having Annie as Asher's nanny, despite having doubts if she was good enough. I convinced him that she was the only one who was good enough for my boy. That finally made him agree otherwise he wanted Martha to take care of him, not trusting anyone from outside. Yes, Martha and Anders had now moved into the penthouse since we started living here. And I took peace knowing Martha would also be there to keep Asher company. Two was always better than one. A knock interrupted us as I got up to open the door of the bedroom Asher and I were living in. I had made sure it was a little further away from Theodore's. “Yes?” I asked my baby’s daddy, seeing him standing behind the door. “Um..can I see Asher before leaving for work?” I glanced back over my should
Theodore's Regret 79. The False Accusations
Theodore's Pov I dialed Alina’s extension but she didn't answer. Strange. The surprise I planned for her was finally complete and I couldn't wait a second longer for her to see it. Deep down, I was dying with anxiousness and curiosity as to what she would think about it. Would she think I am crazy? Well, I couldn't deny that. Maybe I should go and get her myself. I walked out of my office and made my way to Alina’s, only to not find her sitting in her chair. That made me scowl. I saw her laptop switched on which means it wasn't long before she left. Otherwise she would have closed it. She must have gone to the restroom. Now I could just wait patiently for her in my office or I could go and search for her. Being the impatient ass I am, I chose the second option. Walking out of her office, I made a beeline to Jenna, the only receptionist and a sweet lady of not more than forty years on my floor. “Where's Ali— I mean where's Stacy?” “She left for the 12th floor urgently. I don't know
Theodore's Regret 80. Congratulations
THEODORE'S POV Alina didn't argue once when I dragged her to me office room. Infact, she stayed silent the whole time. Now that was something I was worried about. She seemed number, almost lost in her own thoughts that she didn't respond to anything. Like anything at all. Not when I made her sit on my chair in the office, not when I poured her a glass of water. Sure she took it from my hand, but made no move of drinking it. Observing her silently, I took the glass from her hand and kneeled down before her to get to her height. Tilting her chin towards me, I raised the glass to her lips before she finally parted them and I made her drink some of the water. She took a deep breath before moving back. “See, what happened. I told you it was fine if I could just come to the office on my own,” she spoke, lost in a trance. “Alina, I'm not afraid of telling them what you mean to me. I'm not afraid to own you in front of anyone, to claim that yes you are the love of my life and yes I'll
Theodore's Regret 81. Mistake
Alina's Pov “I still don't get it,” I responded even though I knew where this was going. But my mind really wanted to believe it was not what I was thinking it was. Theodore sighed before stepping closer to take the file away from my hands and keeping it on the desk before taking my hands in his. Honestly I was blown away when I stepped into the building because it really was perfect. The interior, the furniture, the plan, everything about it screamed perfection. One would die to have an office place like this but then again, I didn't want to disappoint myself after getting my hopes high. “Alina,” Theodore started and got my attention back. “I can't go back in time and reverse everything that I did. No matter how much I wish I could, I can't. But this is another way I came up with to make things right between us. I know what I did was probably the biggest regret of my life. But I need to make things right. And I can start that by giving you something that you have always wished fo
Theodore's Regret 82. Running Away
Alina's Pov I sprinted down the pristine hallway, my footsteps echoing against the marble floors of the otherwise silent office building. The modern glass walls and sleek metal fixtures, so sterile and orderly, contrasted starkly with the chaos roiling inside me. My heart pounded not just from exertion but from the memory of that kiss—Theodore's lips on mine, hot and demanding, pushing me toward a pleasure I couldn't afford. Not from him. "Alina, wait!" His voice, deep and insistent, reverberated through the empty space, slicing through the stillness. I didn't dare look back. I couldn't face him, not after what had almost happened. My cheeks burned with the memory, my body still humming with the remnants of our encounter. I veered around a corner, the conference rooms blurring in my peripheral vision. The office's beauty, its floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing a panoramic city view, felt like a cruel mockery. It had seen everything—the way his gaze softened before he kissed me,
Theodore's Regret 83. Monthly Trouble
Alina's Pov The grip of Theodore's hand on my arm was unyielding as he pulled me towards his car. I wanted to protest, but the set determination in his eyes told me it would be futile. Reluctantly, I got into the passenger seat, and the car door closed with a decisive thud. As Theodore started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, a heavy silence descended upon us.Neither of us said a word. I stared out the window, watching the city blur past, my mind racing with a mix of anger and confusion. What had just happened? I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, but his expression was unreadable, his focus entirely on the road ahead.The drive seemed to stretch on endlessly, the tension between us palpable. By the time we reached the office building, I felt like a tightly wound spring, ready to snap. As soon as the car stopped, I unbuckled my seatbelt and practically leapt out, not even bothering to wait for Theodore. I had to prep the meeting room, and that was all I could foc
Theodore's Regret 84. Taking Care
Alina's Pov Theodore shook his head, his expression gentle. "It's alright. Don't worry."His calm, reassuring tone helped soothe my panic. Theodore moved to a nearby cabinet, pulling out a large folder. He handed it to me, along with his jacket. "Here, use this to cover up."I gratefully took the items and used the jacket to cover the stain, then stood up, the folder clutched tightly in my hands. "Thank you," I whispered, my voice barely audible.He nodded. "Let's get you out of here."We walked out together, Theodore following behind me, shielding me from any lingering eyes. Once in the hallway, he guided me to a side corridor and then led me up to his office until we reached the bathroom that I had never really seen before. "You should go in," he said, his voice still low and kind. "I’ll be back in a minute."I nodded, overwhelmed by his understanding. "Thank you, Theodore. I really appreciate it."He gave me a small, encouraging smile. "It's no problem, Alina. Take your time."As
