Theodore's Regret 76. Begging
Alina's Pov I saw Theodore's eyes go wide as his jaw dropped, probably caught off guard by Asher's question. He truly looked amazed but also in a haze of awe where he couldn't believe his world that this was actually happening. Like Asher was finally acknowledging him as his dad. Something that his eyes said, he had wished for a very long time and was looking forward to. “You..you really mean that?” Maybe I was mistaken, but I heard Theodore choked on his breath a little bit as he asked Asher. Asher nodded rather enthusiastically in return since Theodore had pretty much won him over using his favorite superhero, which I couldn't deny was a very good strategy on his part. “Yes! Mommy told me you are my daddy!” Asher smiled with his teeth on display. Theodore looked baffled as his head whipped towards me as if to confirm what Asher had said was really true. I decided to say nothing in reply, but nonetheless it gave him the answer he wanted. He looked grateful. But I didn't want to

Alina's Pov “Please, please tell me you said no! Please?” I sighed as Thea screeched out her concern, making me slightly wince at how loud she was. But I couldn't really blame her. The reaction was expected with the sudden news I broke. “I signed the contract. He used it against me,” I sighed, explaining my hands were pretty much tied up. “This bastard! He thinks he can just separate the two of us just like that? Well he is mistaken. No way in hell are you moving out!” Thea stood to her feet, her hands finding her hips angrily as she stomped her foot thinking of possible ways to get me out of the situation. “I've already thought about it, Thea. I don't have a choice. Once again.” I honestly hated that everytime I promised myself I would stay away from these problems, the more I found myself getting caught up in them. It was ridiculously annoying. “Wait, so you and Asher….you guys are just going to leave me? Just like that?” Thea sulked, dropping the bed and I could hear her voic
Theodore's Regret 78. The Comments
Alina's Pov “Don't cause much trouble for Annie ok? Just watch some movies and play with your superman until I'm back,” I kissed Asher on the forehead before he smiled at me. “Ok mummy.” Theodore had thankfully let me continue having Annie as Asher's nanny, despite having doubts if she was good enough. I convinced him that she was the only one who was good enough for my boy. That finally made him agree otherwise he wanted Martha to take care of him, not trusting anyone from outside. Yes, Martha and Anders had now moved into the penthouse since we started living here. And I took peace knowing Martha would also be there to keep Asher company. Two was always better than one. A knock interrupted us as I got up to open the door of the bedroom Asher and I were living in. I had made sure it was a little further away from Theodore's. “Yes?” I asked my baby’s daddy, seeing him standing behind the door. “Um..can I see Asher before leaving for work?” I glanced back over my should
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
Theodore's Regret 3. Visitor
Theodore "Don't fucking bullshit with me, Mark! How are you even capable of being a lawyer if you can't give correct information to your client!" I threw the papers in the face of the thirty-five-year-old-man who stood in front of me in my office. "Mr. Maxwell, first, I worked for your father, which makes him my client, not you. Secondly, I am doing exactly what he asked me to do after his death. I have to follow his instructions. Moreover, these clauses are written in the will. I gave you a copy to read. Didn't you go over them?" Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Why in the fuck did I not read the details in the will and only hear the important points from his mouth? "That's not the point! You should have told me that I had to stay married to her for at least three months before I inherited the complete business! Not just state that I need a wife!" I don't know why my father even believed a woman could make me fall in love with her in three months? Like seriously? What was that old fool on? No o
Theodore's Regret 4. Making Friends
Alina "Dad?" I saw him sitting with one leg propped over his other, like he owned the house. "Mia," he stood up once I entered the living room. "Sit." I followed and joined him, taking a place opposite from his position. "Theodore isn't here if you came to meet him." "I'm not here to see him. I'm here to see you." Why would he want to see me? He never really paid any visits to my room when we lived in the same house. Now he has traveled all the way up here, to see me. What does he want now? "How are you both getting along?" Why did he care? "Um. I'm not sure. I never talked to him." Why did he think that I would get along with the man who I literally met for like a total of fifteen minutes, exclusive of the time spent at our own wedding? "Well, I have to inform you that we cannot have that." What had gotten into him all of a sudden? "You need to make sure he takes a liking to you. It would be even better if you were carrying his heir by the next month or so." Was he seriou
Theodore's Regret 5. Curious
Theodore I was fucking exhausted. My blood boiled thinking I was still not the sole owner of the company I had invested my blood and sweat in. Just thinking that it would take three more fucking months was enough to send me over the edge all over again. I took deep breaths after firing a few orders to the gate staff. I really need to calm myself down before I kill someone. "Mr, Maxwell," one of the guards bowed down before me as I slumped on the couch in the living room. "I just wanted to inform you that Mr. Roosevelt visited earlier." What the fucking was that lousy rat doing here? Did I not make it clear that I didn't want his presence in my place? Was it not enough that I already had one of his offspring strolling in my house like she is the fucking queen here? "Why?" My mood was already sour, I didn't need that fucker to make it worse. But curious is what my mind is. And the urge to keep my eyes open and know everything happening in my vicinity was hard to ignore. "He came t
