บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire’s Regret: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 39

Emily’s POV The car pulled up to Luca’s mom’s house. She was already waiting outside, arms spread and ready to receive Zion. “Be a good boy okay. Don’t make grandma yell.” I said, planting kisses on his cheeks. He nodded and smiled before running to her. “Nanaaaa.” He screamed as she embraced him. She loved Zion like her own. I sometimes wished my mom loved me like the way Luca’s mom loved me. I waved them goodbye before leaving the driveway. As I drove back home, thoughts of going back to New York flooded my mind. There was a high chance that I could run into Emma and Nathan. To make things worse, they were married. It wasn’t like I cared or anything. I picked up my phone and dialed Luca’s number. He answered almost immediately. I took a huge sigh before saying a word. “I don’t think I want to go to New York.” Luca cleared his throat before asking. “Is it about Nathan and Emma?” There was a brief silence. “Yes.” I finally replied. He took a dee

Emily’s POV I stared at the clock continuously whilst waiting for Luca to come back. “He should be back by now,” I muttered to myself as I rocked my chair back and forth. He had mentioned that he was going to Nathan’s company for a meeting. I didn’t buy the idea but he wouldn’t listen. I only agreed to come back to New York for the Gala. Not for anything else. Why did I care so much? If anything, I should be happy. I grabbed a glass of water from the table and took a sip. I needed to calm down a bit. The soft click from the door unlocking distracted me from my thoughts. I looked up suddenly and eager to see if it was Luca. He stepped in, calm and collected like he always had been. I immediately stood up and walked towards him. “Welcome back. How was it?” I asked. He didn’t respond immediately. He took a deep sigh before fixing his gaze on me. “I know you’ve been dying to see me. Don’t tell me you’ve been sitting on that chair since I left.” I let out a small chuckle. Pfffft. W

Emily’s POV “Is anything the matter?” Luca’s voice cut across the hallway. “Nothing,” I answered as I walked toward him.As I walked away from Nathan, I could feel his eyes watching me closely. It made me uncomfortable. It had been three years since I last had an encounter with him. I had no idea why I still felt this way. I didn’t love him anymore. My body however, didn’t forget to respond to his touch. I took a deep breath to pull myself together. “What was he saying to you?” Luca asked. His hands were tighter on my waist. I could tell he was jealous. I took a deep breath before answering. “He wasn’t saying anything important. Let’s not talk about it.”He replied. “I don’t want him to hurt you anymore. Otherwise, I’ll break his hands.”I didn’t laugh. Neither did I respond. I knew Luca well enough to know that he’d actually do it. We got back to the main auditorium a few minutes later. Emma stood at the far end, scheming and talking to investors. I didn’t care, I just wante

Nathan’s POVThe gala didn’t go as expected. Seeing Emily there with him was infuriating. I watched him rub his hands all over her like she belonged to him. Emma, on the other hand, was more focused on attracting more investors than on meddling in any sort of drama.Now that she’d become a mom, her utmost priority was our daughter, Lara. She’d sworn that she’d do everything to protect her and provide for her. We’d dropped Lara with her grandparents for the weekend, so we could focus on the gala. Emma’s parents were more than happy to receive her, especially since they had already lost Emily. I stretched my hands in the air before getting out of bed. Emma was nowhere to be seen. Soon enough a notification lit up my screen. It was a text from her. [ I’ve gone to see some friends, I’d pick Lara up from my parents when I’m done.] I gave a thumbs up to the message. She’d been avoiding a conversation since the gala. Maybe she actually felt guilty for betraying her sister and taking he

Nathan’s POV Weekday mornings were always structured for me. This one however was quite the opposite. I couldn’t sleep all night.The city outside my penthouse was quiet, it had that bluish haze just before sunrise. Emma slept peacefully beside me. After our fight the other day, I’ve been trying so hard to please her every chance I get. But my mind always drifted back to Emily. How she was now married to Luca. How it was going to be unbearable having them around constantly because I’d be partnering with their company. The more I tried to hide my jealousy and anger, the more it clouded my mind. My jaw tightened as I stood beside the window, holding a glass of water I had barely touched. Nothing about my life seemed normal since the day she left. My mind wandered to the night of the gala. How I lost control and was nearly begging her to come back to me. Was it my ego or did I genuinely miss her?I heard small footsteps behind me. Then a soft hug followed immediately after. It was E
