11.Regina's POVI didn't hear him well. "Sorry?""Boyfriend?" Mike asked but neither of us paid him any attention. My attention was on Nicholas and his on mine."You don't actually mean this, do you?" I asked, obsessively waiting for his response."The part where I'm going to punish him and his mother, certainly. I warned her." Nicholas said proudly. Mike was still watching closely, waiting for a better explanation."Wait, miss Regina used to be romantically involved with Daniel Ellison? And why would he threaten you, Nick?" Finally, Mike asked all his questions."It's nothing. I'm sure Dan didn't mean to threaten you. He's just really stupid." I found myself defending Dan. It was possible I was dealing with a mafia lord right now, or a drug dealer. Nicholas wasn't who he appeared to be."It doesn't matter. He's going to get what's coming to him." Nicholas said in his usual casual tone."Here, let's change topics." My brows arched up as Mike handed me a golden card. Everything inscri

Regina's POVThe look on Dan's face as he saw me walked in was starting to irritate me now. He was smiling proudly to himself for some reason. I hated the fact that I had to leave Nicholas and Mike because lord knows I was having fun for once in my miserable life! We talked about rich people stuff, like hacks to playing golf or how to sight the boss at any venue or party, or best top restaurant experiences and even though I couldn't relate well, I was proud to be in their midst!"What do you even want now?" I rolled my eyes as I made my way over to the couch to sit. Dan joined me, holding two wine glasses. He passed one to me and I accepted it and put it away.He didn't look too impressed. "Reggie, don't you regret already?" My frown deepened. "Regret leaving a jerk like you? No, not really.""Even after I've explained everything to you. I don't understand what you want from me again." He flared up. "If you have nothing important to say again, I suggest you get the hell out of here

Regina's POV"What? Punish me for what exactly?" I demanded. Rita looked at me pitifully but Mary, that cold bitch! She was just taking Kimberly's side all through. And initially, Kim and I were supposed to be best friends. Rita and Mary joined the clique many months later. "I hope you realize that you haven't started to suffer just yet, huh? This is only the beginning. I hope you cried your eyes to bed when you found out you were removed from the group, haha!" Mary mocked me. "The suffering has only just begun.""I'm sorry, but for your actions, you deserve to be lonely forever if you don't stop flirting with Kimberly's boyfriend!" Rita chipped in, though still sounding as respectful as possible. "What! Are you fools losing your minds!? Dan is my boyfriend, we all know this." I tried to defend myself. "Kim and Dan have been seeing each other since...since forever! Just when Kimberly was about to propose her feelings for him, you snatched him away." Rita snapped.My expression had

Regina's POV"Oh hello miss," said the cashier at the counter with a bright smile on her face. "Wow, you're very beautiful!" I didn't know if she was talking to me or Kimberly because she stood right beside me. Kimberly smiled, "thank you dear."The cashier frowned slightly. "I wasn't talking to you. I was referring to this miss," she said, pointing at me.My heart fluttered. "Thank you, gorgeous. You're really beautiful as well." I returned the warm gesture. The attendant grunted. "Just pay already."I rolled my eyes and handed over the card to the cashier. She took it with zeal, like it was the most precious thing she had laid her eyes upon. The card went into the machine and a beep sounded.Her brows creased. "Hmm, it's saying declined. I'll just try again.""Ha! Such a fruad!" Mary was the first to yell out. "Security, throw this rag out now!" Kimberly commanded. The attendant agreed, saying all sorts of things to me. The cashier remained calm as she tried again. At this stage

Regina's POVOnce home, I began to ask myself if I was still the same Regina or I was some celebrity! Was it because of the fact that I heard Nicholas call me by my real name for once, or when I was busy convincing him there was no need for him to save me because I was fine. Or now, when I was brought home with a free ride accompanied by at least five attendants who escorted me home to carry all of the items I shopped! The stuff I'd gotten were enough to sustain me all through the year! I mean from jewelries to professional outfits and party wears, down to shoes and sneakers and then bags. All very expensive! I definitely felt like a celebrity right now. I said my goodbyes to them after they had carried all the items I shopped for. Once inside, bags of items filled the whole room. I was thinking of how to begin unpacking when I heard a knock on the door. A slender fine lady was outside smiling as I opened the door."My name is Sofia Francisa and I'm your stylist for tonight's party

Nicholas's POV "Yes that's right, Royce. You are absolutely correct." I said to the person on the other end of the line. "Yes yes...you're absolutely right, yes. Oh by the way, I will be introducing her to you tonight so please be nice to her. Miss Regina Mildred." We concluded before I hung up. Mike had been rolling his eyes and flashing me raised brows. Mike and I were waiting outside for Regina to be done with all of her makeup session and all while we rested on the car, ready to welcome her. "Hey don't even bother to say whatever you're thinking right now." I said, even though I was still certain he would still talk. "So you do know her real name. Then what's all that: Raya, Rebecca, Rika...that you use to say, huh?" When he spoke in my POV, I was given a hideous voice that made me frown. Still, I ignored him."So you're really going to introduce her to Royce?" He asked, spewing the second of maybe a million things running down his mind."Yea? See, why does this bother you so

Regina's POVThe way his eyes glared at mine, Nicholas had a million things running through his mind. I just didn't understand why I had to become part of it!Did he hate me that much? Those seductive eyes were always cold everytime he stared at me, and he had been doing that a lot since I arrived! I tried so hard to ignore him and focus on Mike, who was much more sweeter and nicer to me, still, Nicholas would not even let me do that in peace. Now, it was getting too much. I couldn't keep my cool anymore. The funny thing was that being the Chief finance offer and me being the finance manager, there wasn't much difference between us! It wasn't like he was the managing director or anything, so why did he intimidated me so much like that?"Mr Nicholas?" my voice came out low and slightly muffled. His expression hardened. "I would really love to understand something please." I said quietly and certainly as respectful as I could. "Fire away." was all he could respond with. I swallowed h

I was supposed to be focused on my work.Mary and Kimberly had been unusually quiet since Nicholas shut her down privately last week. But silence from someone like her never meant peace. It meant planning.I had just finished reviewing the figures for our client pitch when my phone buzzed. Unknown number. My heart skipped. I knew better than to answer random calls after everything with Dan. Still, I tapped the green icon like an idiot."Miss Moore," a familiar voice said, low and oily.Dan.I stood up from my desk and walked fast toward the restroom. "How did you get this number?"He chuckled. "Same way I got that photo. I told you, Regina. You're in a different league now.""I blocked you.""Yet here I am." His voice dropped. "You looked rattled last time. I thought I'd send you another gift.""Another gift? I don't even understand you any--"But before I could continue, he had already hung up. The fuck!Seconds later, my email pinged and an image popped up on the screen. No subject.
Betrayed By Ex, Loved By My Billionaire Boss The Calm Before The Storm
Regina's POV The office felt too quiet. Phoned rang and customers were clearly around but even with phones ringing, keyboards clacking, and everyone fake-laughing down the hall, I couldn't shake the silence inside me. Like my instincts were trying to scream—but I had them on mute.Nicholas hadn't texted me since last night.Not good night, not are you okay, not even a thumbs-up emoji.I stared at my phone for the hundredth time today. Still nothing."Whatever." I heaved in. I wasn't going to beg.I pulled my attention back to the project we were finalizing—a massive client pitch that could win the firm a big contract. I'd practically bled over this presentation. If we landed this deal, it would silence every whisper about how I only got here because of Nicholas.The thought made my stomach turn. I earned this. Every late night, every win. Nicholas or not."Regina, conference room in ten," my team lead called out.I nodded, but my throat felt tight. This meeting needed to go well. It
Betrayed By Ex, Loved By My Billionaire Boss Sincere Apology
Regina kept to herself for the next few days, she knew that Jenna must have been beyond anxious waiting for a response from her and this was confirmed when she heard a knock on her door and it turned out to be Jenna. Regina sat still in her seat while waiting for her to speak up. Regina was in no hurry and neither was Jenna as well. It did not seem to matter to Regina how long the silence would last, she was determined to wait until Jenna would break. Jenna stood awkwardly by the corner of Regina’s office, her eyes darting everywhere except at the woman seated across from her. Regina’s expression was unreadable, her arms folded as she leaned back slightly in her chair. The tension in the room was thick, coiling around them like smoke. Finally, Jenna's voice broke through the silence, brittle and uneven.“I’m sorry, Regina. I really am.”Regina arched a brow, her voice smooth but cool. “Sorry? For what exactly, Jenna? For lying to me for months? For playing both sides? Or for only de
Betrayed By Ex, Loved By My Billionaire Boss The Confession
Morning light crept through the half-closed blinds of Regina’s apartment, casting long golden slashes across the hardwood floor. She had barely slept. The weight of the last day’s work was weighing on her. She did not feel like getting up from her bed but she had no choice. Work awaited. Picking herself up from the bed, she went into the bathroom and freshened up. She decided on a mini green dress that looked both official and sexy and a nude colored heels to match the color of her handbag. She made her hair into a ponytail and she was all ready for work after a slight make up. Her phone suddenly came alive with a text message and she would not say she was surprised to see that it was Jenna. The message was short: “Can we meet this morning? Please. It’s important.”Regina stared at it for a long minute, suspicion gnawing at her. She had already known that Jenna would reach out to her but she did not just expect it to so quick. But curiosity, coupled with a simmering need for answer

The presentation went well and Jenna was on her way back from there. She could no longer ignore the rumbling in her stomach so she went to a small fast food got herself something to eat. After satisfying her hunger, she walked out of the place and went towards her car.As she made to pull the door open, her eyes met with a fine dark green bag sitting by the window of a store. She could not help but to notice how beautiful the bag was, even from afar. She stood where she was by her car, a thought crawling into her head. What would she think if she did something like that so suddenly after giving her the cold shoulders? Yep, Regina. Would she accept the gift? But there was no need to think twice. So she crossed over to the other side of the street-- thankfully the red traffic light was turned on-- and walked into the store. Moments later, she returned with a fancy green hand bag neatly stored in a box and only then did she get into her car and continue driving her way.The rest of t

Jenna was feeling nervous as she made her way to ni Nicholas' office. No matter how slow her steps were, her legs still led her to his office and now she was standing just outside. Adjusting her clothes, she knocked twice and went into the office. Her heart skipped when she saw Regina standing inside the office as well. Maybe it was truly what she feared after all."Oh good you're here." Nicholas said as he noticed her after looking up. "Sorry to bother you at all but I have an errand for you and Regina. Come sit and let me explain." He invited her over to sit. Regina was already sitting. Jenna batted her lashes once. "An... Errand?" She asked uncertainly. Nicholas gave a nod of his head and pointed at the seat next to Regina, asking her to sit. "Ah of course..." She muttered softly as she hurried up her steps to take a seat.She bowed her head to Regina as a simply greeting. More of a nod. She did not bother to look at her. Regina responded with a simple nod as well and a gentl
Betrayed By Ex, Loved By My Billionaire Boss Meeting With The Boss
Sitting at the dining table at her apartment, Jenna traced the tip of her white coffee mug absentmindedly. Her other hand rested on her cheek while leaning on the table. As still as her lips remained, several conversations ran non stop in her head. She could not stop herself from thinking about what she had witnessed. How intimate it was...The memory was fresh in her head like a very fresh wound. Tormenting her mind and keeping her awake. She felt torn between responsibility and her own personal feelings. She had not noticed how much time had passed by where she was sitting. It was already after midnight, her coffee had even gone cold, yet she traced round the edges with her finger, lost in a maze created by her own thoughts. Her finger tips left the mug and wrapped around the coffee mug handle, raising the mug to her lips, she took a sip. The cold liquid felt so irritating that she spat it out without thinking twice. Dropping the mug back on the table, she picked up a tissue pap

Nicholas stumbled through the door of his penthouse, the heavy thud of it closing behind him echoing through the empty space. The club had been loud, chaotic— filled with music and people and all the distractions he’d desperately chased tonight. But none of it had worked. The gnawing emptiness inside him had only grown.He shrugged off his jacket and kicked off his shoes, his body sluggish and uncoordinated from the alcohol coursing through his veins. His tie hung loose around his neck, and his shirt was half-untucked, a mess that matched the storm in his chest.Dragging himself toward his bedroom, Nicholas barely managed to make it to the bed before collapsing face-first into the mattress. The room spun around him, but he couldn’t summon the energy to care. All he wanted was for the pain to stop, even if only for a few hours of restless sleep.With a groan, he sat up just long enough to strip off his wristwatch, the weight of it suddenly unbearable. He opened the drawer of his bedsid
Betrayed By Ex, Loved By My Billionaire Boss Nicholas, a mess
Nicholas had always thought of himself as a man in control— control of his business, his image, his emotions. But the days following Regina’s sudden disappearance stripped him of every illusion he had about his own strength.At first, he had clung to anger. He told himself she was being childish, that she’d come around eventually. He kept calling, kept texting, convinced that persistence would wear her down. But when his messages remained unanswered and days turned into a week, something darker began to settle inside him.It started with sleepless nights. He would lie awake until dawn, staring at the ceiling, his mind running in circles. The silence of his penthouse, once a comfort, now felt like a prison. Her absence echoed in every room, every corner, as if the very walls missed her.And then came the drinking.At first, it was just a glass of whiskey to calm his nerves. But soon, one glass turned into two, then three. By the second week, Nicholas found himself at the bottom of a bo
