The Billionaire's Fatal Regret

*** A Few Days Ago ****Marcus sat hunched over his laptop, fingers moving swiftly over the keys, absorbed in his work. A sharp knock interrupted his focus."Enter," he murmured, not taking his eyes off the screen. His fingers continued typing, the rhythmic sound echoing through the quiet office.The door creaked open, and the woman entered without hesitation, her footsteps light as she crossed the room. She didn’t say a word but silently approached, settling herself onto the couch beside Marcus’s desk."Do you never listen?" Marcus finally glanced up, his eyes locking onto her form. A grin tugged at the corners of his mouth. "You’ve been told not to sit there, remember?"Her lips quirked in amusement, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of defiance and affection. "Maybe I like the view," she teased, her voice sultry.Marcus’s smile deepened, and he slowly pushed away from his desk, the sound of the chair scraping against the floor filling the air. "I prefer you close, not across the roo

“So, that was the lady you talked about in the car?” Vivian asked Marcus immediately they got into his office.“Yes.” Marcus answered precisely, taking off his suit and handing it on a coat rack.Four days ago, he had gone to pick Vivian up from the airport as she had just arrived in town from Austria while in the car, they have talked about Josephine all through the way. And after they have discussed her to the level they wanted, Marcus proposed to her.“She sounded so pained. I think she did not want to lose your good dick.” Vivian teased as she sat down into the couch by the side of his desk. Her hands were caressing the shinning diamond ring in her finger. She was loving the feeling that she was going to be Mrs. Kingsley soon. “Of course. You know how good my dick is. But you broke my heart was why she was able to enter. If not, you know, no one would have tasted my sweet delicious dick except you.” Marcus teased back as he sat beside her. Caressing her gentle palm now. Somethin

Meanwhile, back at home, Cecilia could not take her mind off the things her daughter, Josephine, told her yesterday.“How could someone be this cruel?” she asked herself time and time again as she paced around the room. In this moment, she remembered the things that happened to her younger sister.Carolina, her younger sister, the one whom everyone referred to as the most beautiful between she and her, loved a man with all her heart. She gave him everything even when she saw some red flags in the guy; she ignored them, hoping that he’d change.Later, he impregnated her and ran away from taking responsibility. Having no money with her or her sister, and with no one to borrow from as life was unfair to them, they could not do the necessary check-up during her pregnancy, and thus, by the time she was ready to give birth, she died with the baby.Cecilia was all messed up during this time. Right now, she was not ready to let her daughter go through that. She’d do everything in her power to

Marcus couldn’t sleep the whole night long. He rolled from one side of the bed to the other until he rose from the bed and paced around the room.As much as Vivian’s threat was heavy on his heart, he was resolved about his child. There was no way he would let his child, his blood, go through so much of what he went through when he was a child.At morning, Marcus’s heart rose stronger and hardened like a stone. It did not matter that Vivian threatened him. He was going to do what he had in his heart.Immediately, he got to the bathroom and had a nice bath. Then he dressed in a nice blue suit and an Italian brown leather shoe, looking as affluent as he always looked.With this, he picked his phone on top of the stool near his bed and dialed his office secretary’s number.As soon as she picked up,“I won’t be coming to work today. Fix my appointments for later,” he said.“Yes, sir,” the secretary answered from the other end of the phone. And just then, he put the phone into his pocket, g

Seeing how muscular Julian was against him, Marcus stepped back. His heart raced a bit.He said nothing at this moment, and Julian said nothing as well but continued to stare dangerously at him.Knowing fully well that he could not go against this guy, Marcus awkwardly stepped away and walked into his car parked alongside the road. Hence, as he got into his car, he screamed like a frustrated man who couldn’t get what he wanted.He beat his steering wheel as if it was the one responsible for his misery. And just then,“I won’t back out like this,” he murmured.“You have my child in your stomach, and I won’t stand aside to see my child calling someone else his dad when I am still alive,” he resolved in his mind as he drove away.On the other hand, as Marcus left, Julian looked at Josephine again with his affectionate eyes.“Thank you, Julian. But you can leave now. Everything is fine now,” Josephine said to Julian, who reluctantly nodded his head.He had just reconnected with Josephine,
