All Chapters of The Billionaire's Regret: Finding Her at Any Cost: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Adrian's POVThe guilt from leaving Eve by herself at her appointment was eating me alive, but I had no choice.I needed to make sure Bianca was okay. Now that she was pregnant, I had to take her health seriously. The last thing she needed was for her to lose this little bundle of joy.Plus, Eve seemed okay before I left. If anything, it almost seemed like she was… giddy? Like she had something she wanted to tell me.I shook my head. Maybe that was just part of the guilt eating at me. What could've been exciting about a simple examination anyway?I told myself that I would just wait on Eve's text, and hopefully that would put my shame of leaving her to rest. I knew that she was disappointed in me leaving, but I would make it up to her again.For now, I had other matters to focus on.Once I got to the women's clinic where Bianca was having her appointment at, I was promptly escorted to her room. As soon as I walked through the door, I saw Bianca laying on the examination bed that had be

Evelyn's POV"If you're busy, then I don't want to bother you..." I sighed into the phone. "I just can't be alone right now, Mila. I don't know what to do!" "You're my best friend; you're never bothering me," Mila replied in a sympathetic voice. "Give me like... 15 minutes. I'll be home by then." "But aren't you at work? What about—" "Girl, they'll be fine. My bestie needs me. That's more important!" That alone was enough to send me into another crying fit. That was why Mila was my best friend through and through. She was always so fiercely loyal and protective of me. That hadn't changed since high school. It felt nice to have someone like her in my corner now that it seemed like my own husband would rather be in someone else's. Mila came home some 15 minutes later with some Chinese takeout and boba. "Alright, friend. Spill. Tell me EVERYTHING! What happened between you and Adrian? Wait, pause—did you tell him about your pregnancy?" I took a bite out of my food and shook my head

Evelyn's POV"Why would you— I… I don't understand." Adrian looked at me like I had slapped him across the face. "Why would you ask me that? Why would you even *think* that?" He asked as confusion, shock, and hurt contorted his features."Because I'm tired, Adrian." I sighed with exhaustion. "I'm tired of this runaround you have going on with Bianca, and how I can't seem to get a straight answer from you about your relationship with her.""Eve, I told you nothing's going on—""I already heard what you said to her back at the clinic." I interrupted. "I was the convenient, practical choice. I ticked off those "neat little boxes" for your family. I'm quiet, obedient." I laughed at those words."My point is… I understand what it means to you to make calculated moves. You're a CEO, a business man. I get it." I continued. "But that's not what a marriage should be. A marriage shouldn't just be what's the most optimal or efficient choice, because then at that point you're just looking at it li

Evelyn's POVI looked up at Adrian like he had lost his mind; because for a second, I thought he had. I had to dig my nails into the palm of my hands, but when I felt the pain of being awake in this reality, that was when it hit me.Adrian actually asked for my side of the story. He wanted to know the full truth, and not just take Bianca's word."You can tell me what happened, Eve." Adrian's voice was firm. "I want to know the full truth, not just whatever Bianca thinks happened.""A-Adrian!" Bianca tried to interrupt. "I-I'm telling you the truth! You have to—""I don't have to do anything that I don't want to." His tone hardened. "So, stop interrupting and let my wife speak."In an odd moment of solidarity, Biana and I exchanged a confused glance.I finally shook my head and cleared my throat in an attempt to get myself together. "You really want to know what happened?""Yes, of course. I always want to know the truth."I nodded my head and began to recall the last half an hour. From

Evelyn's POV"Adrian, come on!" I laughed as his lips tickled the sensitive spot on my neck. "The agency just texted and said that the nanny is supposed to be arriving at our home soon and we're not even ready!"Adrian pulled me closer until our naked bodies were flushed again. He ran his fingers through my hair, carefully untangling them, and bit my collarbone playfully. "Mmm, you can't tell me that wasn't worth being late for.""I didn't say it wasn't! But one of us needs to be responsible right now!"Without warning, Adrian hoisted me on top so that I was straddling him. He leaned up and gave me a soft kiss before slapping my ass. "Oh, boo, I guess you're right," he chuckled. "Let's get ready then. I trust you can handle everything concerning the new nanny then.""I sure can. I'm sure she'll do fine. I made sure the agency she was coming from was a reputable and respectable one. So that way, it'll also give Bianca a peace of mind once she moves out.""I sure do hope so," Adrian resp
