“Sha, where’d you go?” Uncle Vincent’s voice sharpened, sensing my movement.

“Just a sec, Uncle! Grabbing something!” I lied, a flicker of fear in my chest. I hurried back to his side.

Lia slipped into the room, her steps so silent they were practically ghostly. Those long legs of hers moved without a sound—she must’ve been a cat burglar in another life. I shot her a hopeful glance, praying everything would go smoothly.

“No talking, okay, Uncle?” I whispered our deal into his ear, making sure he thought it was just me in the room. “If you talk, I stop. I’m not talking either. Let’s just… let our bodies do the communication.”

He nodded, letting out a low groan that sent shivers down my spine. “Whatever you want, baby.”

I glanced at Lia again. She was close now, shrugging off her coat to reveal a jaw-dropping outfit that clung perfectly to her curves, the kind of look that’d make any guy lose his mind.

But as her eyes adjusted to the dim light, Lia froze, her jaw practically dropping at

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   22. Vincent and Noah

    VINCENT’s POVI couldn’t wrap my head around Sasha’s little surprise. How did that innocent girl from back then learn to please a guy my age like this? Did she think I was bored with old-school stuff? Didn’t she know I was already plenty satisfied just being with her, no matter how it happened? Did she not get that I was pushing her like this because I missed her?Hold on. Why all these tricks? Who taught her this stuff? Don’t tell me she’s been selling herself to get by. If not, how else would she know things I never showed her?Who taught my sweet little bunny these dark games? Who’s been touching what’s mine?Too bad my body didn’t have room for jealousy. It was already rock-hard, itching to reunite with its favorite place. It couldn’t wait another second. Half-crazed from playing the celibate boy for so long—well, not that saintly, since I’d sometimes had to take matters into my own hands to calm that little devil down for a while.“Sasha, baby, where are you?” I called out, eager

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   20. The Night

    With Lia’s help, I planned out everything I’d do tonight. She taught me the best way to pull off my secret plan.That night, I headed to Uncle Vincent’s room, my heart pounding with nervous hope. 'This has to work', I prayed silently. Uncle Vincent opened the door and gestured for me to come in. The smirk on his face practically screamed, *“Finally, you’re back to me.”*“Why aren’t you wearing any makeup?” he asked, eyeing me up and down. I was just in my usual housekeeping clothes, nothing special. “You used to love skincare and makeup.”His question caught me off guard, and it hit me that I hadn’t done any kind of self-care in forever. I was too scared to touch my savings. Back when I was with him, my high-end makeup and skincare could’ve bankrupted me in months. I used the best stuff, after all.Since I couldn’t afford those products anymore, I just stopped using them altogether. What’s the point of being beautiful if beauty only brings me misery? I didn’t want to sell myself to hi

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   19. The Secret Plan

    I just stood there, frozen. Should I sell myself for the sake of everyone around me? Am I really that selfish if I don’t want to degrade myself in front of that creep again? Go back to being the naive girl I used to be, satisfying every single one of his disgusting whims?“I am not a whore, Uncle,” I said, my voice so soft I could barely hear it myself.“I know you’re not a whore, Sha!” Uncle Vincent shot back, laughing. “That’s why I asked you to be my personal maid. But you turned me down.” He leaned in closer. “Besides, what’s so hard about spending one more night with me? We’ve done it plenty of times before, haven’t we? I still remember exactly how to make you feel good. I haven’t forgotten those sweet spots of yours, Sha. The ones that make you beg for more. What about you? Have you forgotten everything?”I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the pain in my chest. The vile man in front of me was showing his true colors now, no pretense left. Back then, he’d been sweet to

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   18. His Command

    "Sha, I'll always break the rules when I'm with you, Sha. Do you forget that I had an affair with you while I was still married to Freya?" Uncle Vincent asked with a sardonic laugh. His eyes looked at me with disdain. "And because you're in my hotel, I'll never conduct any of this professionally," Uncle Vincent said as he raised his feet onto the table, then spun his chair around. "I would never be professional when dealing with you."I shook my head in disbelief at his cruel words. Why couldn't this guy just leave me alone?"Think about it, why do you think I bought this lousy hotel?" he asked again. "Because I saw a picture of you … working here as a maid!"Uncle Vincent handed me some documents on the table. Photos of the hotel's general appearance are meant for potential buyers. Oh my god! I had to decline when the previous owner asked me to be a model for the housekeeping department.Ah, because of that little thing, I ended up in this mess. Good deeds don't always yield sweet re

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   17. The Punishment

    The next day, I still went to the hotel because no replacement staff was available. I felt lazy, but I also felt sorry for Mr. Rey.Since I couldn't just leave, I tried my best to avoid running into Uncle Vincent all day so I could work normally. At the very least, I wanted to pretend that he had never been to the Safari Hotel and disturbed my peaceful life.But it was all in vain. My mind couldn't shake off the memories of our encounter and our argument yesterday. It was all a mess.After work, I quickly picked up Noah. I felt anything but calm. I felt like I was being watched. I didn't know by whom."Noah, promise me you won't go anywhere with strangers, okay?" I said while carrying Noah so we could return to our rented place quickly. "Lately, there have been a lot of bad people around.""What are they doing, Mom? Eating kids?" my son asked innocently."No, but they like to kidnap children and take them away from their moms!" I replied convincingly so that Noah would believe it and

  • The Billionaire's Regret: He Wants Me Back   16. Unexpected Jealousy

    I entered Mr. Rey's car awkwardly. It was supposed to be a special evening, and I felt like I was being treated like a princess. Mr. Rey was a true gentleman, even opening the car door for me. I felt guilty for forcing a smile and whispering a thank you. Throughout the journey, it was only Mr. Rey who spoke. It turned out that Rachel couldn't meet Noah because she wanted to stay over at her friend's house. Mr. Rey promised to bring Noah to their house another time to introduce him to Rachel. Once again, I just nodded, as my mind wasn't really there. How could I not be in turmoil? I still didn't feel at ease after Ms. Donna's arrival earlier. Did that guy still think I was his toy? Would I have to obey him again? "Sha, you've been quiet the whole time, don't you like Vino's work?" Mr. Rey asked. In an instant, he took out his phone. I instinctively grabbed the phone without thinking. "Please, don't, Mr. Rey! I love Vino's makeup! It's great! Don't badmouth Vino's beauty salon on soc

    "Mom!" Noah ran towards me with excitement. "Yay! I got picked up in the afternoon."I kissed my son's forehead and said, "Say hi to Mr. Rey!""Uncle Rey!" Mr. Rey corrected."But it doesn't feel right to call you Uncle! It's too friendly," I objected."Well, what should he call me then? Dad?" teased Mr. Rey with a laugh."Please, not that, Uncle! I already have my own Dad. He is working overseas," Noah quickly replied.Mr. Rey and I fell silent, exchanging glances. I lowered my head, caught in my lie to Noah."Noah, today you'll be at Uncle's house, okay? Mom is going to a party at the hotel.""Working again?" Noah asked disappointedly."Yes, something like that. Noah, you'll have fun at Uncle's house. There are lots of toys there!"Mr. Rey continued to assure my son until Noah gave in. He was happy because he was promised lots of toys.However, on the way, I was shocked to the core when Mr. Rey brought me to a beauty salon. "Sir, why are we here?""You're coming to the party tonight

    VINCENTI saw my Sasha getting into a car with a man. Damn! Did she leave me for a new boyfriend? A younger guy?"Who's that man?" I asked Donna, the assistant who was helping me familiarize myself with the hotel. She was also helping me secretly select candidates for the new hotel's GM position."He's Reynald Adams, sir! Division room manager, a candidate for GM with the best performance," Donna replied in a professional tone.Damn. So, he's the top GM candidate?"He's hitting on a staff member? Is he the best … what?" I asked irritably. I really disliked workplace romances. It reminded me of Freya's affair with Sasha’s father."Rey doesn't have any bad record like that, sir!" Donna defended. She looked at her iPad and added, "He... is the best employee here. All housekeeping issues have been resolved since he joined."I nodded. I really didn't want to argue with Donna. I would find out for myself later."Oh, and also! Get me a dress that fits this size," I ordered Donna, handing her
