Semua Bab His Regret: Winning Back Her Heart: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Michael's POV “You cannot do this to me, Donovan,” “Renounce Marietta and take me.” Donovan continued. I could read him like an open book. But even with all my guesses. I was still wrong.“Fine. If you want to have access to everything I own. You can have it,” I said grudgingly. He chuckled a bit, before placing a small little wet kiss on my lips. “I think our two hours are almost up, Michael. Why don't you choose now?” Donovan raised a brow, lifting his shirt to check the time. “Donovan I–”“Tick tock, tick tock.” He continued. It was clear to me right now that it was me he wanted. He knew I wouldn't have agreed. But what can I do in this situation? Donovan wasn't ready to help me out of this place. And one thing is certain. If Donovan leaves here, then I'm finished. I can't be convicted the second time. Donovan had saved me the first time with my Granny's influence. This will be the second time. And if I don't accept his love, he might as well depart. Leaving me to the

Marietta's POV My heart leapt with joy, but also fear. Fear of uncertainty. But Aiden has given me his all. He had made me know that all I had to do was to take his hand. I don't need to be scared. He has proven to me in a few ways that he was different from Michael. Obviously, by age, Michael was older. But by thinking and in knowledge, why do I find him so intelligent that Michael? I inhaled deeply as I watched him bring out a diamond ring. With the way the diamond ring had glistered in the dark, accompanied by the moon's light, I could tell it was very expensive. “My mother gave it to me,” Aiden narrated, his eyes never leaving the hospital ward where his mother was lying. “Your mother?” “Yes. She made me know that when I'm ready. And when I meet the woman of my dreams. The one my heart beats for. Then I can let her have it,” he added.Still raising the ring for me to have a clear view, he waited patiently. “If you want to think about it, it's fine. You have all the time i

Marietta’s POVJust like Aiden had commanded, the maid carried out the task without complaint.I had a big bed to myself. The room is also well ventilated with the air conditioning cooling everywhere. I felt so relieved.But my mind was still on Aiden. How could a man love me this much?Could my fate really have changed? I was the one loving Michael so much, and now the tables have finally turned.I smiled sheepishly to myself before switching off the light, leaving the bed lamp on.I was about to close my eyes when my phone rang. It was Bella. “Hi, girl. Why ain’t you sleeping by this time?”“I was thinking about you. Since you’ve not been responding to my messages,” Bella answered.“Well, it’s been a long day,” I said, heaving a sigh coupled with some giggling.“Someone seems happy. You want to tell me about it?” Bella questioned as she waited for more.Our conversation lasted for more than an hour, one that depicted that we both were really happy.After five years of hurting, cryi

Michael’s POVIt’s only been three days since I got out of prison, and already, it’s wrecking my chances of becoming the next president of the United States. People are talking, sponsors are pulling back, and every headline screams my name for the wrong reasons.And Donovan? He’s more controlling than ever. Acting like he owns me just because he pulled a few strings. I’m basically at his mercy now.Still, through all of this… I can’t stop thinking about Marietta.I’ve looked into her—where she is, what she’s been up to, even what she might do next. If you want to call it an obsession, fine. Maybe it is.“What did you find out?” I asked my secret agent—the one Donovan doesn’t know about.I leaned in, trying to catch every word. I couldn’t afford to ask twice. Donovan could show up at any moment.It’s pathetic, I know. My life’s a mess.Maybe it’s karma finally catching up to me.But if there’s still a way to have Marietta… that’s all that really matters to me right now.“According to t

Marietta’s POVMichael scoffed, his eyes cold and unreadable. But I saw right through him. He wasn’t just here to talk—he was here to ruin everything. Not just me, but my marriage too.“Have you even thought about what this will do to you?” he asked, his brow slightly pulled together.“Boss, you called for me—” The guard barely finished when Aiden turned sharply and slapped him across the face.“You fool! Didn’t I tell you to guard my mother with your life?!”The guard stuttered, clearly shaken, but Aiden wasn’t done. His grip on my hand tightened.“You’re fired,” he said, not even looking back.Then he faced Michael, stepping in front of me.“You’ve stayed long enough. You’re not welcome here. Leave.”Michael’s jaw clenched. “And what makes you think you can tell me what to do?”“This is my property, Mr. Whitmore,” Aiden snapped. “And I decide who stays and who leaves.”I glanced around and realized Michael had come alone, just his driver waiting outside.Michael smirked, that same l
