Semua Bab BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: Ex-wife wants revenge!: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Ignoring her reaction, he carried on. "I think I've been patient enough, haven't I? He's been with you for five years, I think..." Leonardo trailed off, voicing his thoughts. "I wonder how he's going to react when I tell him the truth. That we even had sex yesterday, and how you just couldn't stop moaning and screaming my name as I made mad love to you... Just the day before you went on a date with him." He smiled slyly at Hayley. "What do you think, mi reina?"Hayley's legs wobbled as she staggered back in disbelief, staring at her deranged ex-husband in bewilderment. "L- Leo..."Leonardo sighed softly, still smiling kindly at Hayley. "So choose, baby. Which option do you prefer? You have twenty seconds to decide, starting now." He fished out a small stopwatch from his pocket and pressed start. The watch soon began to tick. Had Leonardo gone mad? Hayley's thoughts swirled, still staring at him dumbstruck. Hayley knew he wasn't bluffing. And she knew if Leonardo told Adrian the trut

It was a bright and sunny Wednesday afternoon.Adrian Lewis was settled in his office, seated comfortably behind his large mahogany desk at the center of the room. His hand practically navigated the mouse control as he scrolled the computer before him, reviewing the mid-year estimated sales book of his company. He exhaled exasperatedly, realizing business wasn't as good as it used to be. He couldn't help but wish RosArts had agreed to partner with them, maybe things would have been different then. His current executives weren't contributing much profits or benefits to the company, and it plagued Adrian as he couldn't bring himself to fire them. It wasn't their fault, after all. Pushing his thoughts aside, he continued his routine.As Adrian continued scrolling for a while, a gentle knock on his door disrupted his concentration. He paused, pressing the response button with his eyes darting to the entrance to see who it was.The door swung open, revealing a man dressed in a plush navy

"... I need your help, please."There was a moment of silence as Hayley awaited her response to her plea. She finally spoke up after a minute, her voice sailing into Hayley's ears through the phone."Okay... What do you need my help with?" She asked flatly. Hayley let out a heavy sigh, feeling her racing heart slowly calming down. She elaborated. "Before I make my next move, I need to know why Leonardo is really here. I don't want to act irrationally." Emily was quiet as she contemplated for a moment before eventually agreeing in a softer tone. "Okay. I will help you, Hayley. I will help you get your long-forgotten revenge on those people. I will come up with a plan. But just know, this doesn't mean I've forgiven you for what you did..."Hayley politely interrupted. "Totally. I understand. I promise to make it up to you, Em. I'm serious.""You bet." Emily huffed, rolling her eyes.Hayley chuckled nervously. Changing the topic, she questioned curiously. "By the way, Em. What about m

*Five years ago*"He lied to me, Nina. He betrayed me. He betrayed my trust. Why does everyone keep lying to me?" Clara asked tearfully, her eyes stung with painful tears as she looked at Hayley. "I don't understand--" Her voice broke, rendering her speechless as she collapsed on Hayley's shoulder and began sobbing.Hayley felt a pang of sadness as she watched her new best friend cry over a man, just like she had done a year ago when Leonardo had broken her heart."It's okay, Clara. Everything's going to be fine. Please, stop crying," Hayley consoled her gently, rubbing Clara's back soothingly.But Clara resisted, continuing to lament again."Nothing is going to be fine, Nina! I'm broken. Martin broke me. I'm tired of people lying to my face and keeping secrets from me. I'm not a child, they should tell me the truth. I can handle it. He should be able to own up to what he did..." Clara sobbed relentlessly, despite Hayley's numerous attempts to pacify her with words.She continued, her

"-Your new boss," Adrian announced."What?!" Hayley exclaimed in shock and bewilderment. She stared at Adrian, unable to fathom what he had just said. "What do you mean he is my new boss?"Adrian chuckled softly, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Hayley. "I know you're surprised, baby... he-"Hayley asked impatiently, cutting him off. "Adrian, please tell me this is a joke. Please." She looked at him, hoping for some reassurance.Adrian paused for a moment, his expression turning neutral before he responded. "I'm sorry to crash your hopes, baby. But no, this is not a joke. He is now a new executive in the company, in charge of the marketing department at MF Arts. I need you to guide him through the company policies before he gets accustomed to them." Adrian instructed with a small smile.Hayley couldn't believe her ears as she stared at Adrian, dumbstruck. She felt her mind spinning with disbelief. What the fuck was wrong with Adrian? She had been doing everything she could
