The Billionaire Regret Novels & Stories

Why would he do that to her? Voices outside made her still at what they said. “…did you hear Michael was found? He almost died again! That man has the nine lives of a cat,” a woman said, followed by the chuckles of the rest of them. “What's more, I heard he's the lost billionaire from the city, they thought he was dead, can you imagine how lucky he is?” Another chipped in what she mentioned, piquing Christine's attention. Michael was a billionaire? How was that possible? The mere thought of staying with Andrew, a mere millionaire's son, and leaving an actual billionaire didn't add up. She had to act and act fast and soon.

’ Even if I died today, it doesn't mean that Ace Kings would love me or even be remorseful about what he did. Every day, it was a struggle to get out of bed and face the world outside these four walls. I spent hours wallowing in self-pity, replaying every moment leading up to my decision to leave Ace. ‘Does he even feel bad that I left??’ ‘Was that how much he hated me?’ ‘Not to even give a fuck about where I am, or how I was doing even though he knew that I had no one else but him.’ ‘Are all billionaires assholes? Or I just happened to be unfortunate and married the only asshole that exists among them?’

He laughed again. "I'm so sorry you had to go through that," Josiah said. "Okay... So now I'm going to tell you about it," he said, and I sat up straight. "Here's the thing... There's a billionaire who is... extraordinarily rich," he said, and my eyes widened. "Okay...?" I waited for more information.

The whispers, they all got louder “Do you think they are dating or something?” “I really don’t get it. Coming here with his ex-wife? What is he trying to prove?” “You know we hooked up last year, right? Then he just stopped replying to my calls” “He has such a god complex. Like he’s better than everyone” “Meanwhile he is just a struggling artist” “Why is he even here?” “To donate what? Spare change?” someone laughed. “After running his family company to the ground, he probably has nothing left” “He is broke. That’s why he has been avoiding anything related to school and fundraisers”

Happy and Loved. And me? I am left with nothing but regret. Regret for betraying the only person who ever truly loved me as a friend. Regret for chasing after a man who never belonged to me. Regret for being so blind that I couldn’t see what I had until it was gone. If I had known she would end up in the arms of a billionaire who worships her, maybe just maybe I would have thought twice before ruining everything. Now, it is too late. I lost her. I lost everything.

For the next few days, Regina reveled in luxury and privilege, lifted so high she seemed untouchable. Nothing out of the ordinary happened to me, too. Until one day, during a livestream, world-renowned billionaire Cyril Mallet made a staggering wager of hundreds of billions, all just for three rounds of cards with Regina. The whole world erupted in shock. "Wait, that's the richest man who controls tens of thousands of mines! He's actually asking to bet with the incredibly lucky Regina Wade?"

Now she was looking at an opportunity that could finally establish her name in an industry she'd always loved. She wasn't going to let her complicated history with Ethan decide her future. “Emma,” she said quietly, “I want this project.” Her friend studied her face. “Then go for it.” “Even though Ethan might be involved?” “Especially because Ethan might be involved.” Amelia frowned. “Explain.” Emma leaned forward. “Your ex-husband is a billionaire. Fine. Congratulations to him and his bank account. But you're building something of your own now. If you walk away from a good opportunity simply because he might be in the room, aren't you allowing him to influence your decisions again?”

Nicole I froze, for a moment, I wondered if I had heard him correctly. David Lockwood, the untouchable billionaire. The man whose pride was as legendary as his wealth, the man who had never begged anyone for anything in his life was standing there, begging me to save his daughter.

He said in a shaky voice, “And we both know the list of trouble your irrationality has gotten you into in the past. Please, pull the car over.” “I knew I shouldn't have told you.” I grumbled in utter regret. “You're just a worrywart and will try to set me back.” “Well, it's a good thing you did, because seriously, dude, that guy is a fucking billionaire. With the amount of money he has and how powerful and well-connected he is, he can make you disappear in an instant if he wants to.” He lectured, “Look at how he rendered your parents jobless in just twelve hours after you insulted him. Now imagine what else he could do. You should be working out a way to tender your sincerest apology to him,
