All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Regret: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Alessa walked into the conference room with the manager. As she walked in, all eyes turned to her. Brook was present this time and he was seated two seats away from Bryan. Alessa wasn't so sure about now but Bryan and his brother never got along. They were always competing and trying to please their father so they would inherit the Harts Empire. “Ms. Kendall, welcome.” one of the board members said and she nodded at him. Alessa took a seat reserved for her. “We don't accept lateness in this company.” Brook suddenly said as they were all settled.“Then you should return my billions,” Alessa replied. Brook was shunned by her reply. Tyler chuckled a little which made Brook glare hard at him. “Ms. Kendall.” one of the board members called and stood up.“This is the progress so far on the Aurora project,” he said and Alessa nodded at him, urging him to go on. “We believe this project could change humanity in the most positive way, we have… “Aria and Aiden laughed as they ran aroun

SIX YEARS AGO Alessa and other students in red uniforms marched down the hallway heading to the gate of the arena. It was time for their task. The rest of the students were in the arena already, waiting to watch them. Aliyah held Alessa’s hand firmly, she kept using her thumb to crease her hand. Trying to calm and assure her that everything would be fine. As they got to the gate, they met the students dressed in black uniforms. The final students. They had knives of the same size in their hands and they started to hand them out to them. Alessa was given her own and she stared at it with her heart pounding. “It's okay, no matter what your task is, I will help you with it. Okay?” Aliyah assured her and she managed to nod. She wondered what the knife was for. Her heart raced faster as the gates opened. Aliyah let go of her hand but nodded at her. They all marched into the arena and the students cheered as they saw them. Alessa looked around the arena, and there were over a thou

Alessa waited impatiently for a call. She was sitting at the edge of her bed, fully dressed. She tapped her feet repeatedly on the floor as she waited. It was past midnight. Aria was discharged after the doctor confirmed that she was fine. Her voice suddenly rang, she looked at the screen and realised it was Thane.She answered the call immediately.“We found him, boss,” Thane said. Alessa felt relieved immediately.“Are you sure?”“Yes, boss.”“I am on my way.” Alessa ended the call and stood up. She walked to her table and she was about to open the drawer to pull out a gun when she heard her door opening. She hurriedly closed it and turned to the door to see Aiden. “Why are you dressed like Batman?” Aiden asked as he held the handle.“What do you want?” Alessa asked, sighing.“I was hungry,” he replied, raising the bag of chips he held.“Okay,” Alessa replied and nodded. She hoped he wouldn't ask too many questions. “Good night.” he yawned and closed the door as he walked out.

SIX YEARS AGOAlessa moaned in her sleep. She waited to feel pain in her back but she didn't. The slight pain she felt was in her chest and her hand.“Hey, Alessa. Are you awake?” she heard a familiar voice ask and she slowly opened her eyes to see Aliyah.“Aliyah,” she called softly.“Yes?” she replied with a wide smile and moved closer to her.“You did it, you passed,” she added.“Wh… what? I passed?” Alessa stuttered.“Yes, you did.” Alessa closed her eyes again and tried to recall.After a few seconds, she recalled everything that happened in the arena.“I killed someone,” she muttered and looked at Aliyah.“Yes.” Aliyah nodded. Alessa sighed and looked around the room. She was in a room like the one she was in when she was brought here. “How long have I been here?” she asked Aliyah as she turned to her again. “Two days,” she replied.“Two days?”“Yeah, Madam Olga told the nurse to take care of you and let you rest well since you passed your trial,” she replied and Alessa sigh

“Hey, baby. We are here, wake up.” Alessa said softly as she tapped Aria gently. She groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. She slowly stretched her arms to Alessa. Alessa smiled as she carried her. She looked at Tracy who had Aiden in her arms, his head was on her chest with her arms around her neck. He was still sleepy too. Alessa was glad she brought Tracy along. They both walked out of the plane and headed to the car. Thane walked behind them. They got to the car, got in, and drove off to the hotel Alessa got ready for them. ~It was their first day in Vegas and everything just seemed normal to the kids. They were all in a suite big enough for them so they were all comfortable.“So, where are you guys going today?” Tracy asked the twins as she fed them their breakfast.“Oh, Mummy is here on a business trip,” Aria replied.“Yes. We don't go out either.” Aiden added.“We are going out, I just need to be done with this. Get dressed after breakfast.” Alessa replied without looki
