Marietta’s POV

The rays of the sun shine brighter.

Reflecting through the white curtains which were tossed by the gentle breeze.

I yawned and was about to stretch when I realized I wasn't the only one on the bed.

“What the–” I covered my mouth in shock.

Raising the bed sheet quickly. I realized I was still intact.

“Thank God,” I said.

Shoving off the bed sheet, I gently picked up my heels and my handbag.

“Headache…” I muttered.

Placing a head on my head.

Last night's memories came crashing back.

FLASHBACK

“Let her go!” He ordered.

Quickly, the hoodlums turned their attention away from me.

“You are a fine young man.” Their leader scoffed.

Reaching for one of the iron rods on the floor. A fight ensued.

“We are sorry!” Was the next word they chroused.

“Scram!” The man yelled.

Dropping their weapons they all scurried off.

My eyes were already dimming when this stranger helped me.

But how I ended up in his bed was what I couldn't remember.

  • His Regret: Winning Back Her Heart   Chapter 42 - Can't Get Over My Feelings

    Michael's POVI had closed for the day's work. I was heading home when my phone suddenly rang in my pocket. I was about to pick up the call when one of the staff called out to me. “Mr. Whitmore,” she ran towards me. No doubt, Gloria was the best lady I've ever worked with. She is a good woman as far as I know. A genius when it comes to Artificial intelligence and Machine learning. And yes, I admire her for that. Gloria is smart, intelligent, independent and to top it all–she’s beautiful.Ever since I employed her, she has always been admiring me. And yes, I’d be lying if I were to say I didn’t notice that.“Yes,” I answered. Adjusting my glasses to look at her. She seemed a bit shy, but I looked past her shyness and just kept my calm.Is everything okay?” I questioned.“Y-Yes.” She stuttered.“Since we won the contract. I was thinking you’d be interested in the night party,” she proposed.“Not at all. I’ll pass. Enjoy,” I responded coldly.Just as I was about to leave, her

    Marietta’s POVI can’t believe my ears right now. I’m here barely holding my life together. And the only person my daughter wants to see is her father?“Are you a joke?”“You have to calm down, Marietta.” Bella cautioned.“She’s just a child,” she added.“A child?” I repeated.Turning towards Clara. “Search Valerie’s room,” I said.Wiping off my tears, “Search it thoroughly, and take off anything that can serve as a means of communication!” “Yes ma’am.” Clara bowed.Taking my jacket, I headed downstairs.“Where are you going?” Bella asked.I could still hear Valerie’s cries from her room. But it was the least of my worries.“I’m going to find Michael,” “Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?” Bella questioned.“No, I’ll be fine,” I replied.“Get me my car keys,” I commanded one of the guards.Quickly, I took over the driver’s seat. Ordering the guards to stay back. I made my way down to Michael’s house.My heart raced faster as tears trickled down my face.For the first t

    Marietta’s POVI was quickly discharged from the hospital. Luckily for me, the injuries I sustained didn’t take long before they healed.And yes, I’m back to work.As for the stranger, I couldn’t meet him again. All I knew was that he was the one who had rescued me that day.What isn’t clear to me is why he was always there to prevent me from harm.Am I starting to feel something for him? I’m not sure, what it was.I mean, it’s only normal for anyone to fall for their superheroes. Just like in novels.“The Blumhouse productions–”“What about them?” I asked, aiming towards my office.“They said they will only partner with us. If only we can join hands with the Sterlings and Whitmore for the ongoing AI movie production,” Clara replied.“What do you think?” I stared at Clara.“At this stage, if we refused to join hands with them, the company might crumble,” Clara answered.She is right. Everyone who had supported this acting firm had started to withdraw.Taking their shares to Sterling

    Marietta’s POV“For real? You’ve been sick and don’t think I should know”?” Bella asked, stunned.“I–”“Do I mean this little to you?” Bella lashed. Pacing about, she stood firm. “I must have been so stupid. How come I overlooked that?” “Bella, I’m sorry,” I stuttered.“When did you find out?” She asked. “Last week,” I answered. “Seriously Marietta. What were you thinking? I’m your best friend.” she said, wiping off my tears.“I don’t want to scare you. And I don’t want to die now, Bella.” I burst into laughter. “What are your chances?” Bella asked, swallowing hard.“The doctor said it's fifty-fifty chance,” I stuttered.“Oh, Etta my dear,” Bella patted my back.“You will undergo the surgery. In my hospital, very soon.” Bella picked up her bag and aimed towards the door.“Bella, the doctor said I might not survive it,” I cried out.“So you want us to sit and do nothing?” Bella questioned.“Bella I can die,” I repeated.“Get a grip on yourself, girl!” Bella lashed out.Motioning to

    Marietta’s POV“What do you mean by that statement?” I challenged myself.With my eyes bored into his, I tried to contemplate where we’d had an encounter before.But I couldn’t seem to remember any.Yes, except for the day he rescued me and I found myself lying in his bed. With my clothes on, actually. “Work with me. And I promise to pay double of whatever it is my father has promised,” he said.Pushing the documents to me. He relaxed back into his chair.“And if I refuse?” “I’ll still be here to help you up,” he replied.“Why?” I questioned.“Stay away from my brother,” was all he could say.Jackson, who, under the pretense, has been my ally.Through thick and thin he has helped me. Days I felt like giving up. He was my confidante. Why should I pick a stranger who confessed he was his brother over him?“You can think about it. You have three days to do that,” he said.Getting up to his feet. He made his way out.But just as he was about to leave. He paused. “That night…I didn’t d

    Michael's POVThree days ago. I remembered asking the doctor what exactly was wrong with Etta. But seeing her collapsing on Clara's hand. Something is definitely wrong. “Excuse me–” “You are excused,” Jackson lashed. But that was the least of my problems. I raced down to the hospital where Marietta was admitted the other day she fainted. Soon I was able to meet with the doctor in charge of her the day she was rushed down. “Doctor, is there something I should know?” I questioned. “Nothing. She will be fine,” he shrugged. “Doc?” I reached out again. With my wrist clenched and my knuckles turning white. I asked again. “She has a tumor on the left side of her brain.” He confessed. I'm not someone to use force on people. But I didn't have a choice. “What do you mean she has a tumor?” I stuttered. I don't know how to explain to Marietta that I'm so sorry. That I want to be a part of her life. I know the pain she felt three years ago. I'm genuinely sorry. I just want to be–

    Marietta’s POVAt first, we both stayed locked for a moment before I finally got back to my senses.I was about to slap him when Valerie’s voice stopped me.“Daddy,” she called excitedly.Shoving his hand off my waist, I took a step back.Just as I watched him rush towards Valerie. I stuck my ears to the door.I could hear flashes of the camera and murmurings.Just then, my phone rang. It was Bella.“Bella, what’s up?”“Have you checked your phone to see the news?” she inquired.“You know how much I hate the internet. What’s going on?” I questioned impatiently.Soon a message appeared on my phone, and I quickly rushed to check it out.THE WHITMORES ARE FINALLY BACK TOGETHER AFTER FOUR YEARS OF SEPARATION. “What’s going on girl? And what’s with the pictures?” Bella lashed out.“I’ll explain to you once I’m done,” I said.Hanging up, I made my way to the living room.“Valerie, I need you to go upstairs,”“Mommy, I want to play with Daddy,” she pleaded.“Now,” I added more pressure.Usin

Yes, I’m a bad person and she’s right. “I need to clear my head,” I said.Running my hands through my hair, I raced down the wet street. It’s been long since I went to a bar. Ever since I stopped taking bodyguards with me. Life has been much easier.I’ve been able to escape the prying eyes of the reporters and there has been less talk of me on the internet these days.Except for the fact that I’m the youngest AI researcher in America right now.And also the fact that they thought Marietta and I were back together.I was midway back to my house when Gloria called me.“Yes,” “I think you might want to see this,” she said on the phone.“Send it to my phone,” I answered.“Can we meet up?” She requested.I’ve been avoiding Gloria all my life.

    Marietta’s POV“I’m sorry for leading you on,” I replied, my face filled with regret.That night, I never intended to sleep with him, but I was drunk. I wanted to get Michael and everything out of my mind.I still couldn’t accept the fact that my daughter was dead, as at then that I started to regain my memories. All I wanted was to escape from my reality, and now I didn’t know I had dragged Aiden along with my shitty life.“What am I supposed to do with you?” I asked, but Aiden cut in abruptly.“Don’t leave me,” was all he could come up with as he reached for my hand, his eyes desperately boring into mine.“Do everything you want with me, but don’t leave me, Marietta.” he shook his head, rubbing his hand against mine.“But-” “No buts, please. Stay with me,” he pleaded with tears welling up in his eyes. “Can you just trust me this once. I’m not Michael.” He repeated, pulling me closer. “What can I do to prove that wrong, Etta?”“We are going to have a lot of people talking about us

    Marietta’s POVMy breath hitched as I felt him closing in on me. I couldn’t process my next word as I swallowed hard, my eyes fixed on his Adam's apple.Did he mean what he said? “Relax,” he smiled, before helping me put the seatbelt on.“I was only joking,” he giggled a bit, and returned to his seat.I felt my heart pumping faster as I quickly hid my trembling hands.That was a fast one. I can’t believe I’m falling for someone who looks like Elsie–I mean, Jackson and Michael. I don’t pray to ever have those kind of people in my life ever again. “I’m sorry I frightened you,” he replied.With his hands still on the wheels and his eyes on me, I nodded abruptly.“That startled me,” I smiled briefly before holding back. “You might want to focus now,” I said, feigning a smile.All through the journey back to the office, I couldn’t believe Aiden would risk his life to come looking for me.Why could he have done that? Was he really in love with me? Michael has never come to my place wi

    Michael's POV “You cannot do this to me, Donovan,” “Renounce Marietta and take me.” Donovan continued. I could read him like an open book. But even with all my guesses. I was still wrong.“Fine. If you want to have access to everything I own. You can have it,” I said grudgingly. He chuckled a bit, before placing a small little wet kiss on my lips. “I think our two hours are almost up, Michael. Why don't you choose now?” Donovan raised a brow, lifting his shirt to check the time. “Donovan I–”“Tick tock, tick tock.” He continued. It was clear to me right now that it was me he wanted. He knew I wouldn't have agreed. But what can I do in this situation? Donovan wasn't ready to help me out of this place. And one thing is certain. If Donovan leaves here, then I'm finished. I can't be convicted the second time. Donovan had saved me the first time with my Granny's influence. This will be the second time. And if I don't accept his love, he might as well depart.
