All Chapters of Mr Billionaire's Regret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21Aria Blake ~•~ I stood by the window, staring outside the house. My box was in my hand. I held tightly onto it like that was the only thing that mattered to me. My mom kept talking behind me, but I tried to block her out. It didn’t work. I could hear her loud and clear. “You can’t stay here, Aria. You have to go back to your husband’s house and fix your marriage.” I didn’t miss the irritation in her voice. She sounded so upset, as if her marriage had just crashed. “Aria, keep on pretending like you can’t hear me. Or do you think you can stand there forever?” She didn’t even let me drop my box on the floor, she asked me to hold it until I was ready to go back to Julian’s house. After a few more minutes of hearing her complaints, I finally turned around and looked at her. “Julian doesn’t want me anymore, he gave me divorce papers,” I said quietly for the umpteenth time, hoping she could finally accept that it was over and leave me alone. She let out a deep breath

Chapter 23Aria Blake ~•~ “Can Harper come with us?” I asked Claire when she brought up the idea of going out to have fun so I could clear my head a little bit. Claire hesitated for a bit. “Is that what you want? You really want her to come with us?” Claire asked, raising her eyebrows at me. I laughed. “You still haven’t fully warmed up to Harper?” Claire and Harper didn’t exactly see eye to eye. Whenever all of us were around each other, they always had opposing views on different things. And because of that, they ended up arguing all the time. During their arguments, I stayed quiet because I didn’t want to be in the middle of whatever they had going on. “It’s been a while since you both saw each other, I’m sure things have changed now,” I replied, brushing her hair backward. “You’ll like her this time around. She has been the one by my side since I started having issues with Julian.” “Of course, she’s your best friend,” Claire replied. I smiled. “Yes, and that’s why I want

Chapter 25Aria Blake ~•~ “Harper!” Claire exclaimed. “Why would you show that to her? This was meant to be a fun day where she forgets all about her problems!” Harper had shown me a picture of Julian and his ex-girlfriend having lunch at a restaurant. I was certain that he hadn’t even filed the divorce papers, but he was already outside with his ex. All the blogs were talking about it and people had so many things to say about my marriage. Well, my former marriage. “I’m s—sorry. I just wanted her to see what was happening,” Harper apologized. “I didn’t mean to ruin her day, I was only looking out for her.” Claire scoffed bitterly. “Looking out for her by showing her something that would break her?” “She would have still seen it either way.” “I can’t believe you,” Claire sneered. The last thing I wanted was for both of them to fight during our hangout. But Harper hadn’t even been around for up to five minutes and everything had already gone sideways. They kept going back a

Chapter 27Aria Blake ~•~ I gave Julian so many chances to tell me who his supposed source was but he refused. I didn’t even need anybody to tell me that he was lying to me. Julian was playing games with me and I was sick of it. “So you really want to throw everything that we’ve built down the drain because of one mistake?” My mouth dropped open in sheer disbelief. Was he really about to turn everything around and blame me for ruining our marriage? “You’re not serious, Julian… and I’m not doing this with you.” I couldn’t hide the irritation on my face even if I tried. “Aria, I’m sorry. You don’t have to forgive me right now. But I don’t want our marriage to end,” he murmured desperately. “I made a mistake by not trusting you, and it won’t happen again.” “You’re still not trusting me by keeping the full truth from me,” I replied, my patience wearing thin. “That’s if there’s even a full truth.” He swallowed hard. “Aria, the person who lied to me isn’t important. Let’s just fo

Chapter 29Aria Blake ~•~ SIX YEARS LATER“Good morning, baby,” he said, kissing me on my forehead as I opened my eyes, smiling at him. “Good morning, Samuel.” “I’ve already prepared the kids for school. I’ll be leaving for work in a few minutes. I hope you slept well.” I sat upright on the bed immediately, rubbing my sleepy eyes. “What? You didn’t have to do all those things on your own,” I exclaimed. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” Samuel laughed softly. “You’ve been through so much stress lately, and I didn’t want to disturb your beautiful sleep.” “It doesn’t matter, babe. I love getting them ready for school. And I don’t want you to stress yourself either.” Samuel placed his hands on my shoulder. “Hey, you don’t have to do everything on your own. I know you love them, but you shouldn’t lose yourself in the process of taking care of them.” A sharp exhale escaped my lips. “Okay, thank you for everything.” “Anytime,” Samuel replied with a smile. “I’ll see you later.
