To Make A Billionaire Regret Chapter 27 [2/2]
Percival stopped. My eyes remained on my hands as Hesitation settled in my stomach."You don't have to answer if you don't want to," I said. Although there were things I wanted to know, I didn't want to trigger any trauma Percy might have.I had always disliked Percy's father despite the little information I had of him. I was just convinced that he's an assholé."Yes," Percival said.My eyes widened. I felt the urge to turn around, but ironically, my body froze. If she's a Salazar, then Percy might be blood-related to them."I found out a few years after she died... I didn't tell you because I felt like I wasn't in the position to tell. It was something my mother tried desperately to hide. But believe me, I don't want anything to do with that family." His voice mixed with grief and worry. "You're not upset with me, are you?"That was my cue to turn to him. My forehead creased to show my confusion. He didn't tell me out of respect for his mother."Why would I be upset with you?" I aske

The day of the business trip arrived. I had to wake up before dawn to pack my things. I also had to deal with a few things at the office first.To my surprise, I found Percival in the kitchen preparing breakfast."It's 4 A.M, Percy. Why are you up so early?" I asked.But, it was more surprising that he didn't have anything to say about the trip. He didn't even ask questions when I told him about it."Your trip's today, right?" Percy said as he continued what he was doing. "I'm making breakfast for you."I pursed my lips. Why does Percy act like we don't have employees sometimes?Percival smiled at me and prepared the food. He placed the plate of pancakes on the bar counter and gestured for me to sit down.We sat next to each other as we enjoyed breakfast. It wasn't fancy since Percy wasn't much of a cook, but I appreciated it. He also knew how I wanted my coffee, so he prepared one for me before taking his seat."I haven't seen you pack your things for the trip," he said."Yeah, I've

"You could say that," Cadmus said before downing a bottle. "Do you want a drink?"Cadmus' eyes communicated with mine. It was telling me that he wanted to talk. So, I slowly sat on the empty spot on the couch across from him.He called the waiter and gestured toward me. I asked for a cocktail before focusing my eyes on Cadmus."About earlier..." he mumbled. "The time I gave you when we were together, was it not enough?"What time was he talking about? The one I begged for? The time he felt obligated to give me so he won't be called a bad husband?"Why are you suddenly bringing that up?" He was making everything easier for me, but my question was genuine.Cadmus was staring at the wall as he drank his beer."Because I still don't understand how you were able to leave so easily.""You cheated on me, Cadmus," I reminded him. My eyes examined the drink that I was holding.I glanced at him and saw how he emptied his drink again."What if it was a mistake?" he exclaimed abruptly. "And you s

My eyes were still closed, but I knew there was a light directed on my face. My eyebrows furrowed as I opened one eye.The light was coming from the window. It was still covered with curtains, but the light went through the thin fabric. I sighed.What time is it, and why is it so bright outside already?"Ugh," I groaned. "My head..."I grabbed a handful of my hair as I pressed my eyes shut to suppress the headache. My skull felt like it was splitting in two. I don't even know why.Did I drink a lot last night?I paused as I tried to remember what happened last night. I could only cuss under my breath when I couldn't recall how I got here.I remember drinking with everyone. Percival was beside me, so I must've loosened up too much. It was reckless of me to drink too many during a business trip, especially with Cadmus around.Percival suddenly stepped into the room. He had a tray in hand. It contained a bowl and a drink.He smiled when he saw me awake. He's smiling again, huh? Based on

My hand played with Percival's hair as I waited for him to let go. With his body so close to mine and the view in front of me, I wanted so bad to be stuck in the comfort of it.Percival took a deep breath before releasing me from his hold. He looked at me and smiled."You can go."I bit my lower lip as I thought of a life where I didn't know Cadmus... and I was in love with the person in front of me. Would we be close like this, or would it be so much more? Would I have a different experience with love? I wanted to know.However, something held my hand back from reaching out to him. In the back of my head, I knew I shouldn't feel this way. I could never let myself fall for Percival and let that feeling ruin us. I was fine with whatever we have right now."Will you continue to watch over Marcus?" I asked."Yeah, until I'm sure he's alright.""Don't you have to go to the company today?" I asked. We were both well aware of each other's schedules. "I'll grab my laptop and stay here with M

"Is this supposed to be your apology?" I asked. Did he take our last conversation as an invitation to rebuild the bridge I burned? He wasn't wrong. I did approach him to get close to him again. But that was nothing more than a part of the plan to ruin him. "I know that is not enough. So, treat it as a part of my apology and a gift because I knew you like those things." "What's the point of apologizing?" "Is it wrong to want to be on good terms with you?" he said. "Does Minty know about this?" I touched the necklace before seductively glancing at him. "I'm just trying to make up for how I hurt you in the past, Katalina." Cadmus won't ask for forgiveness just to clear his conscience. He's not the type to lower his pride for good intentions. There was more to his eyes than just wanting to be forgiven. I could throw his gift away and tell him off right now. However, he gave me false hope in the past, and I said I would remember the pain and give it back to him. "I wanted to give

PERCIVALThe first time I saw her, she was young, and it was at a party. Despite her age, she acted mature and wise in front of the adults. She received a lot of praise which I thought she deserved.Even at a young age, she was beautiful. Some girls envied her. Fortunately, she was not just beauty and wits; she also knew how to defend herself.I loved watching her from afar. All those boring parties for a kid turned out enjoyable because of her. She was interesting.There came a time when the girls who disliked her embarrassed her in public. It all happened so fast that I couldn't stop it. They ruined her dress by pushing her toward a table with beverages. They laughed at her, and the person she had been glancing at throughout the party—Cadmus, only stood and watched. She remained composed, and I thought, how could she act like that?However, after wiping her dress, she grabbed a drink and deliberately spilled it all over the girls. Then she walked away with her head held high. I foll

"Koen..." I uttered when my brother opened the door."Katalina?" Koen was shocked to see me. But he immediately ushered me inside his house. "What happened?""I uhm..." I bit my bottom lip because it kept quivering. "Can I stay here tonight?"I wasn't sure what I was feeling. Love left me scarred, so I don't know if I want anything to do with it again. I can't let it turn me into someone vulnerable and fragile once more. Whenever I hear the word love, Cadmus always comes to mind. I've come to hate everything that reminded me of him.However, what I had with Percy was different from what I had before. I presumed the lack of romance allowed us to be comfortable with each other. I thought it kept us from hurting each other despite being deeply attached. But it turns out, he had always been in love with me, and I... I might've been forgetting how love ruined me.At some point, I also began to imagine 'the us' that would exist after Cadmus' downfall. I forgot that I was once too confident
