Semua Bab CEO's Regret; Wants to take her back! (ENG): Bab 11 - Bab 20

It was seven o'clock when I woke up because of the alarm clock, it’s not my cup of tea to use an alarm to wake up. However, since Raziel invites me to come with him; I need to wake up early.So far, he hasn't said anything about it, so I still have no idea where we're going. I just know that we are going to do something important, so I can’t say no even though I’m not a morning person.I was about to enter the bathroom when my cell phone suddenly vibrated, "what? It's too early for you to call, don't ever say you are already outside to pick me up!”I heard a soft laugh, "You're so energetic in the morning, Lorain. I just want to make sure you're awake, afraid you didn't take me seriously last night.""Now that you're sure I'm awake, can I turn off the call so I can get dressed?" I asked impatiently. After all, I was starting to shiver since I had already taken off all my clothes."Well, yes. Take your time, I just woke up." He was silent for a moment but still didn't hang up, "Lorain,

"Are you okay, Lorain?" Raziel asked me worriedly while looking at the bruise on my hand, I couldn't hide it. I’ve never thought I would easily get this just from a hard grip, I can still feel Jake’s grip until now."Yes, but I don't know how to hide it for tomorrow," I said with shame, I can't display this kind of thing at Raziel's family gathering tomorrow. "Also, thank you earlier but how did you find us?""Craig was nearby at that time so I called him right away, luckily we caught up with you." He stuck the cold compress on my bruises again, "And don't worry, it's only small, maybe tomorrow it's gone."Craig just looks at us and doesn't speak, I don't want to explain first, especially since he doesn't ask any questions. It's just a bit awkward and he's seen that kind of situation earlier…I looked at the time and it was late, "I'm fine, Raziel. Maybe you're hungry, we haven't had lunch yet."“Oh right,” he said and suddenly stood up, “Craig, please ask for room service. Lorain has

Jake's POV"Grandpa, I heard you want to talk to me." I stood straight in front of him, this was the last thing I wanted to happen. "It's been a while since you asked me to come here.""Are you not aware of it, you bastard?!" He threw the ashtray from his table towards me, I held my breath because of what he did. I could feel the blood flowing from my forehead down to the corner of my eye."Grandpa, it's unfortunate but I'm ashamed because I have no real idea about it." I remained standing directly in front of him, looking into his sharp eyes. Letting not any emotion display in my face, such thing is irrelevant for him after all."Do you really want to lose the company I worked so hard to build?! I heard from Jamie's parents that you don't pick her up often anymore, I did my research and I found out that you are chasing another woman again."I'm fully aware, yes, I know that what I'm doing now will be known and reach him sooner, but I didn't think it would be this fast. I nodded, "yes

“Oh!” Jake's uncle reacted first and it was obvious that he immediately recognized me, "she is the one you are referring to who has branches in different countries and is a business partner of Mr. Ramirez? The biggest distributor of textiles?”"Yes, isn't it amazing?" Jamie even clapped her hands as if she was really happy and we had a project together, I wish she pursued a job being an actor too since she’s good at pretending.I felt Raziel's hand gradually hold me from behind until his left arm wrapped around my waist, "don't worry, you have me." He whispered.That's when I knew he had an idea of what was going on, and I'm thankful because he was by my side. I looked at Jamie, I knew she did mean everything she said, but I also knew she had an idea what was going on and I couldn't see any remorse in her eyes.Instead, she smiled at me very sweetly as if she was very happy with what was happening to me, is this her revenge? How many times do I have to tell her that I have no intentio

Jake's POV"Let's give ourselves time to think, Jake. What is important is that we will be happy, in the end, that is the most important thing to consider," she said before completely leaving me inside the bathroom.I want to stop her, force her to give me a chance. Say that I would do anything for her, but I was stunned to see how she held tightly to the man who was hugging her now.That should be me, the one who is wiping her tears. But no, it's the opposite. I am the reason for the tears falling from her beautiful eyes, it is my fault that she is in another man's arms while being vulnerable.The only thing I could do at that time was to listen to their conversation and the sound of her cry that was trying to suppress, even when he softly called her name. I closed my eyes tightly and clenched my hands.I just stood there and stayed like that until I heard their footsteps getting away, I wanted to scream and grab her away from Raziel but I couldn’t. I did everything I could to stop m
