Aiden’s POV

The ride home felt longer than usual. The car’s leather seats, usually a comfort, could even make me feel comfortable . My head was pounding, not from the whiskey I’d had at the reception, but from the chaos running through my mind.

Sophia.

I couldn’t erase the image of her standing in that conference hall. The way she carried herself, her shoulders straight, chin lifted, voice steady. She wasn’t the woman I remembered crying in the kitchen the night I told her I wasn’t interested Any longer. She wasn’t the broken figure I left that last night.

No. She was different now. Stronger, and this time she looked more cold. And she was standing beside Damien Locke.

The thought alone made my my hands turn into a fist. Damien wasn’t just another competitor; he was the one who could burn for what he wants,He wanted everything I had, everything I built. And now… he had her by his side.

When the car finally stopped outside my building, I could not wait for the driver to open the door.

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Elena's appearance

    Elena POVI didn't just want to stay quietly, just as mom wanted. I wanted to find out what exactly was going on in Sophia's life. I need to know if she's truly a threat to me. If truly she wants everything that I have worked so hard to get.I won't just let her take it easily, even though she's the eldest daughter. It won't work that way this time around. This time around, she gets nothing. I packed up my bag after tracing her house address. It's time for me to visit her. It's time for me to threaten her a little, just like I always wanted. This time around, she would have no choice but to walk away for good.I soon got to her place, and of course, I took a taxi to make it look like I just came to say hi. "It's time for me to manipulate her so she will never come back home. That is the only way.That is the only way I can keep her away from mom. Because seeing the way she glanced at her video, I know that she is having a change of mind and might just want Sophia back. And I won't ju

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Damiens rage

    Sophia POVI couldn't control myself. I couldn't control my emotions. As those tears slipped down my face, I rushed into the car and relaxed, first cleaning my tears. "Take me home," I said to the driver as he started the engine, speeding through the night. Aiden always finds a way to hurt me. Just now, I had planned that if he had talked to me very calmly, we would settle this, and I would give him back his clients.But no, he had to prove that he's so stubborn. He had to remind me of our past together. He had to just shatter my heart once again.He has a way of always making me regret meeting him. Why? Why would I even do that? Damien had already warned me that I should not, for any reason, go and see Aiden.Yet I still went immediately. His secretary told me he wanted to meet me. Not like I owed him anything. He owes me everything for everything he did to me." He still owes me his health because I made him healthy. I made him move around. I made him back to the man that he is, a

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    The confrontation

    Chapter 22The ConfrontationAiden POVAnd just as I expected, she accepted my invite and of course, I planned the perfect place to see her. Somewhere secretive. Somewhere where I could talk to her without Damien having to trace us and ruin everything, if possible.I don't mind manipulating her just to give me back my clients. I worked so hard to get Mr. Gabriel by my side, and then as for Ms. Mirabel I'm planning to find out why exactly she thought after five years I am not the perfect candidate for her anymore. After five years of successful contracts each year, she still went to their company. I felt like they had definitely lured her in with something. I just don't know what it is at all.I don't mind giving double just to get back all my clients. I didn't work so hard to build my empire just so one man would decide to ruin it while using my ex-wife to manipulate me and make it impossible for me to get back at them. I know nothing about their charity funds, know nothing about th

    Aiden POVI won't let Damien get anything from me but still how am I even going to stop him? It's not like I can start fighting over Sophia and I wouldn't let go of my ego to fight over her.I decided to wave it off, and the next morning, of course, Isabella was still avoiding me. I started to give her that space. She needed it after all. She needed to think about everything and know whether she was ready to forgive me or not. I continued my day like nothing ever happened and just went back to work, trying to forget that I had actually met Sophia and that I could not control myself and that Damien plans on getting married to her. "What does that even have to do with me?" I soon stood in front of the meeting room, getting ready for one of my biggest clients so far. I just hope it does not find any issues with our rules. I stepped into the meeting room and noticed everyone was in a tight spot. Everyone seemed confused, like they were keeping something to themselves. I cleared my thr

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Regrets

    Aiden povAfter uttering that word, the next thing I heard was a sound slap on my cheek. I held my cheek and looked at her as she was breathing heavily. "You made the mistake, and I decided to love you. I decided to love you just the way you are. You dare not use those words against me. Calling me your assistant. I was your assistant, and I was being loyal to you. You want me to leave, right?” She said, picked up her shoes, and went up, leaving me alone with my thoughts. "I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have." She is right. Every word she said is right. I and that again brought me back to think about Sophia. I was the one who treated her wrongly. I always said bad things to her, and all she did was smile.She would never complain. I thought every woman would be like her. But no, not everybody can be like Sophia. Not everybody would watch me insult them and still not do anything. Maybe that's why I miss her so much. I shouldn't be here. I have to talk to Isabella. I have to plead wit

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    The rejection

    Aiden povI waited, watching Damien stop in his truck, waiting for the right answer, waiting for him to say I was wrong and that he was not involved. Instead, he turned to me with a smirk, tilted his head a little, and chuckled. "What do you want me to say? I had no hand in what happened to you. I did nothing. All I did was help that helpless girl that you ditched, that you threw away like she was nothing," he said and stormed away, leaving me to myself, my jacket in my hand, the scent of Sophia's cologne driving me crazy. I shook my head immediately. "No. No. I cannot be thinking about something like that. I can't. I shouldn't think about it. She's not mine anymore. If possible she would belong to Damien very soon." Even though that broke me into pieces, I cannot do anything but just watch. "She is no longer mine. She's no longer yours. Aiden." I shouted as I slapped my hands on the rails, looking down at the bustling city, knowing Sophia was somewhere. She is somewhere, and sh
