Theodore's Regret 70. The Proposal
Alina's Pov I woke up to the soft beep of the heart machine and bright white lights blinding me, making me scowl. The headache came back, although it wasn't as intense as earlier. I was on a hospital bed and a nurse was beside me, scribbling something on the paper attached to the clip file as she continued checking my vitals I assumed. “What happened?” I croaked out. “Nervous breakdown. How are you feeling now?” I tried to sit up after she explained. “I'm not sure. Drained, maybe?” The throbbing in my head began to intensify. “That's expected. Now what stressed you out?” She gave me a comforting look. “Just… stuff.” “It's not just stuff if it makes you land in a hospital. Anyways, you need to take better care of yourself. Your son has been crying sick since the past few hours.” “Hours?” That alarmed me. Where was Asher? Shit he would have been so worried! “Where is he? How long was I out?” “Don't worry. He's fine outside with your friend. And you were out for almost 5 hours no
Theodore's Regret 71. Warmth
Theodore's Pov“She won't marry you!” I boomed barging in the room without permission. I had been eavesdropping for long enough to know everything about the engagement being a fucking misunderstanding by one this crazy bat shit’s fans. And although that put me to some rest, his next words had me burning in rage once again. The fucker had the audacity to ask my Alina to marry him in front of me? As if he could. I should've listened to my provocative thoughts and just punched him the moment I saw him in the hospital aisle rushing to her room with Thea. We had an intense eye contact which Elliot broke first because Asher suddenly distracted us and and hopped onto him with his fluff greeting of him missing his favorite uncle. It honestly broke my heart to see my son so close to that fucker! I was supposed to be the one Asher should be welcoming like this.Not him! It was supposed to be me! Only me! But I was going to change everything very soon. There is no way I'm going to let that leach
Theodore's Regret 72. Can't Leave
Alina's Pov I had been going in and out of darkness every now and then. It was like this little breakdown had completely drained me out. I had no sense of my surroundings whatsoever. And the medicines weren't helping at all to keep me awake. But this time when I woke up, I saw myself in an oddly familiar room. But I couldn't wrap my head around it. I wasn't in the hospital room any longer. The bed I was lying on was awfully comfortable to my surprise. I sat up groaning, the ache in my body still there. I felt like I was literally 90 years old. That's how my bones were aching and cracking against each other. Fuck, it felt like I was hit by a truck. Again. I sat up, trying to ease the pounding in my head when Asher burst into the room. I squinted my eyes to see him wearing a super suit and cape, holding what seemed like a superman action figure. What? “Mummy! Look! I'm superman,” he gleamed, running for the couch in the corner and started jumping on it. “Asher. Get down. What are
Theodore's Regret 73. Breakdown
Alina's Pov“What do you mean I can't leave!?” I hissed, meeting his eyes with confidence. Who does he think he is ordering me Iike that? “I mean you will be staying here from now on,” he explained confidently. “Bullshit. I'm going home,” I got off the bed and looked for my phone, except I couldn't find it. “This is your home Alina. This is my son's home. And yours,” I ignored his words and continued to search for my phone. It had to be with me. What if… I passed to see Theodore standing casually with his hands in his pockets, looking a little stressed out at the current situation. Although he was trying his best to maintain his calm. “No! This isn't. I will not live here. Neither will Asher. And where the hell is my phone?” His hand disappeared into the pocket of his pants before he pulled out my phone from it. “Right here,” I closed the distance between and tried to snatch the phone out of his hands. But only if I could. The bastard pulled his hand up in the air so I couldn't r
Theodore's Regret 74. Breaking The News
Alina’s PovI was given no choice. Like every time. Theodore explained in detail the consequences if I wouldn't move in with him since practically, I was his employee who signed her own death certificate in the name of a contract. Plus, the very employee was also the mother of his undeniable son. I mean, I knew no one would believe he wasn't his. But it was worth a try. Plus, the pressure of the conversation that had to unfold between me and my son about who his dad was nailing down on my head for the last few hours. I sighed, gazing out of the window from the guest room of his mansion I was currently in when a knock was heard on the door. “Come in.”Asher came barreling in through the door, jumping on the bed instantly, taking a spot beside me as Theodore entered behind him, pushing a trolly full of food. “Look mummy, we made dinner for you. Uncle Theodore said you need healthy food since you are sick. I did most of the job cooking. He only helped a little,” Asher spoke proudly, cro
Theodore's Regret 75. Can I Call You Daddy?
Alina's Pov “Oh,” was all Asher said. “That's all you have to say baby?” My forehead creased, not knowing what he was thinking. He was in very deep thought. “So…” Asher dragged on, “he hurt you?” I didn't say anything and kept looking at his face. “And you cry at night because of him?” I gave a very subtle nod. “What are you thinking so hard about?” I asked him. “I don't understand. He gave me everything I liked; ice-cream, superman suit, action figure. But why didn't he give you ice-cream? Did he not have money at that time? Yeah I think that's it. Mummy, he might not have enough money to buy you ice cream. I'm sure he didn't want to hurt you,” I looked at him appalled. My boy really thought this was about ice cream? I mean what did I even expect of a child who doesn't even go to school yet. “I can talk to him. And he can apologize to you. I know he will listen to me.” I knew he would obviously listen to his own child too. “And then I can make him buy you ice cream also. Then y
Theodore's Regret 1. Signed Away
Alina "Aren't you excited?" Millie decided to speak after observing me for a couple of minutes. She was careful in phrasing her sentence, knowing that I don't really like people disturbing me at my little corner table situated on the balcony connected to my room. I was drafting out a chapter for my upcoming book with my feet tucked under my hips, on the comfy bean bag. The evening was quiet, yet enchanting, as I took some sips from the coffee mug resting beside me on the table. My glasses were hanging a little low on my nose as I continued pressing the keys on my laptop, earning little clicking sounds. "Excited about what?" I didn't bother looking up from the screen. Millie and I were cousins. She was the daughter of my only uncle. She was two years younger than me and I could say we were a little close. Or maybe that's what I made her believe, because I never got close to anyone. Not even family. Mom was out of the picture when she died in an accident and I was only three. After th
Theodore's Regret 2. Just How Fast Life Changes
Theodore That motherfucker actually had the audacity to think he would get anything out of this deal? How fucking foolish! I'll make sure to bring him to the lowest pit of hell after giving him a taste of what it feels like to mess with me. I was Theodore Maxwell! How in the hell could he think even for a second that he could escape my wrath for trying to cheat me! Of course, he couldn't even achieve his goal to begin with. His team is just like him. Sloppy and inefficient. So one call was all it took for all the investors in his company to take their money out. That's what power is and I like to make good use of it. I like to flaunt it. I like to make sure people know what it can do to them. And that call was all it took that pussy to come running to me, begging for help. I scoffed at the fact he was trying to sell me the benefits of investing in his company. What a bloody fool he was; he did not even know I was the one who brought him to meet his fate in the first place. So I ag
