All Chapters of The Ruthless Billionaire’s Regret: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

CHAPTER FORTY-TWOADRIAN’S POVAfter leaving my mum's house, I went straight to the office. There was still no update about the men who attacked me. Truth be told, I was still shocked about what happened. I’d never been bruised like that before. I rarely got into fights, even when I needed to. My men always handled the dirty work.I had a meeting in the afternoon with Nathaniel Hale. The last thing I needed was for him to see me in a bad state. I thought about canceling but that would make me appear even weaker.I stayed in my office for the first half of the day and prepared for my meeting with Nathaniel. My mind went to Isabella, Theo, and my mother. I wondered what was going on over at the park. I was shocked when my mother told me she had closed down the park for the day. She rarely did that.I took my mind off that and focused on my work for the day. At about 1pm, I left my office and went to the meeting room to wait for Nathaniel. Our meeting was by 1:30pm.He arrived about two

CHAPTER FORTY-FOURISABELLA’S POVWe spent the next few days with Vivian. We'd completely moved from Adrian's house to Vivian's house. I barely saw Adrian. He said he was occupied with work.I knew something was wrong. He didn't have to say it for me to know. The enthusiasm and excitement he had when Theo and I first came had worn off.Our time with Vivian was already coming to an end. We had two days left until the two weeks were over. Vivian decided to take Theo and me shopping.We spent the whole day out. We went to the mall and we also revisited the park but this time, there were a lot of people. Theo made quite a few friends at the park. He told Vivian he preferred being with people to being alone at the park.At the end of the day, we went home. We all got freshened up and had dinner. Theo went straight to sleep because he was really exhausted from everything that happened during the day.I couldn’t sleep so I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I found Vivian in the li

CHAPTER FORTY-SIXISABELLA’S POVThings went sideways fast. One minute I was yelling at Adrian and the next minute, his lips were on mine. When I finally registered what was happening I shoved him really hard. Before he had the chance to say anything, I doubled down and slapped him across his cheek.“Isabella.” He held his face.“What the heck is wrong with you? Why would you do that?”“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” He apologized. “You just kissed me and you’re sorry? What in the world possessed you to do that?”“I really didn't mean to. It was an honest mistake.”“Get out. I was willing to hear you out but this just threw me off.”“Sorry.” He didn’t fight with me about it anymore. He left the room rubbing his cheek. I touched my lips and I could still feel the imprint of his lips. I shook my head and finished up my packing. We had about four hours until we had to head to the airport. I headed back downstairs. Vivian was in the living room. Theo and Adrian were outside together.“I

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTISABELLA’S POVIt had been about three days since we got back from Chicago. I was taking the whole week to rest before I got back into the routine that was my life. As Adrian promised, he gave me the money to pay for the repair of my bookstore. I was excited to start working on that.I woke up with a smile on my face and a breath of fresh air. Julius wasn’t beside me. I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Julius wasn't in the living room when I went outside. He wasn’t in the kitchen either. Theo was still asleep in his room.He didn’t leave any message to tell me where he would be going. I decided to call him. He didn't pick up even though I called him about four times. I decided to just wait to see when he would return.I went to the kitchen and started making breakfast. By the time I was done plating the food and was about to go to Theo’s room to wake him up, Julius came back home.“Hey. Where’d you go?” I asked.“Out.” He had an angry expre

CHAPTER FIFTYADRIAN’S POVI originally didn’t plan to come with my mum to see Theo and Isabella. After much convincing from her, I finally caved in. My original plan was to go to therapy and get better as much as I could before I got back in contact with Isabella and Theo.I also didn’t plan to ask Isabella to move to Chicago permanently. It just happened. I didn’t regret asking her though. I gave it some thought and it would be a hassle flying back and forth between Manchester and Chicago. If I wanted to be active in Theo's life, I needed him by my side.After our day at the amusement park, my mum and I returned to our hotel after having dinner with Theo and Isabella.“I asked her to move to Chicago permanently.” I told my mum.“Really? What did she have to say about it?” She asked.“Nothing much.” I shrugged my shoulders. “She refused. She said she has a life here. Her bookstore was the only tangible thing she could mention.”“Don't be like that.” She slapped my back. “That booksto
