Chapter Thirteen—The Billionaire’s Regret

Mason Jenkins, a fellow business mogul and Justin’s only friend frowned deeply as he strode into the apartment ,which was open to his utmost surprise. The place was a mess, clothes lazing around with empty bottles sprawled all over the ground. This was a sudden change from the neat freak he once knew and grew up with.

It’s been five years since he saw his one and only best friend, in those five years Justin had gotten married and divorced. The events leading up to it was such a blur, but Justin’s sudden message to meet up was too enticing to pass on.

He made his way into the kitchen, only to find his friend in a downcast state, next to him was a bottle of vodka and a lime-rimmed glass beside him, his nose twitched at the stench of strong liquor.

“Yeah I think that’s enough drinking for tonight.” He murmured, scooting next to Justin who let out a deep sigh.

“How’d you get in?”

    Chapter Seventy-Four —Ground rules She would rather be with anyone else then Rowan, but dilly-dallying with with devil himself was better than being in a room with Santiago. Gianna took a deep breath as he poured a cup of water into her glass, one which she welcomed with a large gulp. “What happened to you?” Rowan asked, now noticing her injury. She snorted, rolling her eyes, “Someone attacked me .” He blinked, “Have you thought of him as an accomplice?” Now she frowned, “He’ll never do something like that. Sure, he’s a dirty crook and I despise him but he’ll never resort to hurting me…physically at least.” Rowan’s brow arched, “For someone who claims to hate the man, you sure do trust him a lot.” She didn’t. She couldn’t trust Justin even if her life depended on it, but she knew he would never try to physically hurt her, not after the stunt he’d just pulled at least. She let out a sigh and let Rowan pour her another glass of wine, her head thro

    Chapter Seventy-Three—The Attacker(2) “Hell no!!!” Gianna yelled at the top of her lungs which hurt to say the least. However, it was way better than what she was being instructed to do. Diaz let out another breath as he sipped on his coffee, he already anticipated the squabble that was to happen, “ Look. It’s only a temporary solution. You’re in danger and— “I don’t care if I’m in danger.” She shot up to her feet, wincing in the process and hoping her ex husband barely even noticed. The grimace on her face was for sure witnessed by Justin, who kept his silence. Diaz rolled his eyes. Women, he thought, “Mrs San— “Lawson.” She corrected, “It’s Lawson now.” He blinked, “Uhmm Yeah. Look , Miss Lawson. There’s so much on our plate as of now. The precinct is going through severe budget cuts, which means it’s going to take more than a nickel to provide adequate protection for both of you. The chief was going to close this case by the way…I just didn’t want to

    Chapter Seventy-two—The Attacker Justin woke up the next morning to a barrage of phone calls and messages.A lot of it from some news stations looking to get an inside scoop as to why he stepped down, some from his lawyers and one message from detective Diaz telling him to pick up the phone. He rolled his eyes as he managed to push himself out of bed. It felt different. He was no longer a CEO, neither was he employed by anyone at the moment. Of course he was a billionaire with so many investments, properties and other assets to keep his life afloat till death…still he felt useless. The usual morning routine was to skip breakfast, the hottest cup of black coffee with a frown on his face, and a mountain of papers to attend to at the office. Now, he was in bed, not knowing what to do with his life. After a brief moment of wishful thinking, he finally settled on the gym, which was something he hadn’t done in a long time although his physique showed no signs of it. A sho

His hand caressed his cheek, which still stung from the slap that had just landed on his face. Diaz gulped hard, also taken by surprise. “Gianna what the— “You dropped down??” She scoffed, “Seriously?? Did you think dropping down would make me forgive you?” “No.” “Then why would you drop down from your position? Why would you do—“ she paused, taking a break to catch her breath, “You literally betrayed me for that company. You made my life a living hell, and now you what? You give up on everything because you found out about your— “No.” He cut her off, eyes stinging from the pain he felt, “Please don’t.” Gianna took a deep breath, “There’s no way I can take you down if you quit. We haven’t even gotten to the

    Chapter Seventy—Retribution He needed a deep shave, from the stubble which had magically appeared on his jawline. He staggered towards the bar area and grabbed another bottle of brandy, the empty one already discarded with shards of glass all over the floor. The once ever indomitable Justin Santiago, CEO of SAN limited and the first under thirty year old to make it to the Forbes billionaire’s list, now a depressed and heartbroken loser. It was an emergency board meeting, to which he made the deliberate decision to finally step down as CEO, despite raising the company from scratch to a multimillion dollar industry. The board of directors were beyond shocked, some even questioning his morals as he was queried about any pending criminal investigation for his sudden resignation. The employees of SAN Limited were also taken by storm, some jubilated, others weren’t so happy. Justin Santiago was an asshole, but he was a good paying asshole and they feared for their jobs.

He heard the words ring in his head as she pointed at the door for him to leave. Suddenly, the image of a baby in it’s mother’s arms, suckling on her teat flashed through his mind. “You should kill me.” He said, resigning to his fate. “What?” Gianna stared at him, wide eyed and thinking he was crazy. “I don’t deserve to live. You should kill me and get it over with.” He said, he still wouldn’t look her in the eye. “Just leave Justin.” She sniffled, the sorrow just too much to bear with him around. “I will.” He said, his nostrils all clogged up, “Gianna what can I do?” She raised her hands in mock surrender, “What?
