Theodore's Regret 72. Can't Leave
Alina's Pov I had been going in and out of darkness every now and then. It was like this little breakdown had completely drained me out. I had no sense of my surroundings whatsoever. And the medicines weren't helping at all to keep me awake. But this time when I woke up, I saw myself in an oddly familiar room. But I couldn't wrap my head around it. I wasn't in the hospital room any longer. The bed I was lying on was awfully comfortable to my surprise. I sat up groaning, the ache in my body still there. I felt like I was literally 90 years old. That's how my bones were aching and cracking against each other. Fuck, it felt like I was hit by a truck. Again. I sat up, trying to ease the pounding in my head when Asher burst into the room. I squinted my eyes to see him wearing a super suit and cape, holding what seemed like a superman action figure. What? “Mummy! Look! I'm superman,” he gleamed, running for the couch in the corner and started jumping on it. “Asher. Get down. What are
Theodore's Regret 73. Breakdown
Alina's Pov“What do you mean I can't leave!?” I hissed, meeting his eyes with confidence. Who does he think he is ordering me Iike that? “I mean you will be staying here from now on,” he explained confidently. “Bullshit. I'm going home,” I got off the bed and looked for my phone, except I couldn't find it. “This is your home Alina. This is my son's home. And yours,” I ignored his words and continued to search for my phone. It had to be with me. What if… I passed to see Theodore standing casually with his hands in his pockets, looking a little stressed out at the current situation. Although he was trying his best to maintain his calm. “No! This isn't. I will not live here. Neither will Asher. And where the hell is my phone?” His hand disappeared into the pocket of his pants before he pulled out my phone from it. “Right here,” I closed the distance between and tried to snatch the phone out of his hands. But only if I could. The bastard pulled his hand up in the air so I couldn't r
Theodore's Regret 74. Breaking The News
Alina’s PovI was given no choice. Like every time. Theodore explained in detail the consequences if I wouldn't move in with him since practically, I was his employee who signed her own death certificate in the name of a contract. Plus, the very employee was also the mother of his undeniable son. I mean, I knew no one would believe he wasn't his. But it was worth a try. Plus, the pressure of the conversation that had to unfold between me and my son about who his dad was nailing down on my head for the last few hours. I sighed, gazing out of the window from the guest room of his mansion I was currently in when a knock was heard on the door. “Come in.”Asher came barreling in through the door, jumping on the bed instantly, taking a spot beside me as Theodore entered behind him, pushing a trolly full of food. “Look mummy, we made dinner for you. Uncle Theodore said you need healthy food since you are sick. I did most of the job cooking. He only helped a little,” Asher spoke proudly, cro
Theodore's Regret 75. Can I Call You Daddy?
Alina's Pov “Oh,” was all Asher said. “That's all you have to say baby?” My forehead creased, not knowing what he was thinking. He was in very deep thought. “So…” Asher dragged on, “he hurt you?” I didn't say anything and kept looking at his face. “And you cry at night because of him?” I gave a very subtle nod. “What are you thinking so hard about?” I asked him. “I don't understand. He gave me everything I liked; ice-cream, superman suit, action figure. But why didn't he give you ice-cream? Did he not have money at that time? Yeah I think that's it. Mummy, he might not have enough money to buy you ice cream. I'm sure he didn't want to hurt you,” I looked at him appalled. My boy really thought this was about ice cream? I mean what did I even expect of a child who doesn't even go to school yet. “I can talk to him. And he can apologize to you. I know he will listen to me.” I knew he would obviously listen to his own child too. “And then I can make him buy you ice cream also. Then y
Theodore's Regret 76. Begging
Mia's Pov I saw Theodore's eyes go wide as his jaw dropped, probably caught off guard by Asher's question. He truly looked amazed but also in a haze of awe where he couldn't believe his world that this was actually happening. Like Asher was finally acknowledging him as his dad. Something that his eyes said, he had wished for a very long time and was looking forward to.“You..you really mean that?” Maybe I was mistaken, but I heard Theodore choked on his breath a little bit as he asked Asher. Asher nodded rather enthusiastically in return since Theodore had pretty much won him over using his favorite superhero, which I couldn't deny was a very good strategy on his part. “Yes! Mommy told me you are my daddy!” Asher smiled with his teeth on display. Theodore looked baffled as his head whipped towards me as if to confirm what Asher had said was really true. I decided to say nothing in reply, but nonetheless it gave him the answer he wanted. He looked grateful. But I didn't want to ackn
Theodore's Regret 77. Dreams
Alina's Pov “Please, please tell me you said no! Please?” I sighed as Thea screeched out her concern, making me slightly wince at how loud she was. But I couldn't really blame her. The reaction was expected with the sudden news I broke. “I signed the contract. He used it against me,” I sighed, explaining my hands were pretty much tied up. “This bastard! He thinks he can just separate the two of us just like that? Well he is mistaken. No way in hell are you moving out!” Thea stood to her feet, her hands finding her hips angrily as she stomped her foot thinking of possible ways to get me out of the situation. “I've already thought about it, Thea. I don't have a choice. Once again.” I honestly hated that everytime I promised myself I would stay away from these problems, the more I found myself getting caught up in them. It was ridiculously annoying. “Wait, so you and Asher….you guys are just going to leave me? Just like that?” Thea sulked, dropping the bed and I could hear her voic
Theodore's Regret 1. Signed Away
Alina "Aren't you excited?" Millie decided to speak after observing me for a couple of minutes. She was careful in phrasing her sentence, knowing that I don't really like people disturbing me at my little corner table situated on the balcony connected to my room. I was drafting out a chapter for my upcoming book with my feet tucked under my hips, on the comfy bean bag. The evening was quiet, yet enchanting, as I took some sips from the coffee mug resting beside me on the table. My glasses were hanging a little low on my nose as I continued pressing the keys on my laptop, earning little clicking sounds. "Excited about what?" I didn't bother looking up from the screen. Millie and I were cousins. She was the daughter of my only uncle. She was two years younger than me and I could say we were a little close. Or maybe that's what I made her believe, because I never got close to anyone. Not even family. Mom was out of the picture when she died in an accident and I was only three. After th
Theodore's Regret 2. Just How Fast Life Changes
Theodore That motherfucker actually had the audacity to think he would get anything out of this deal? How fucking foolish! I'll make sure to bring him to the lowest pit of hell after giving him a taste of what it feels like to mess with me. I was Theodore Maxwell! How in the hell could he think even for a second that he could escape my wrath for trying to cheat me! Of course, he couldn't even achieve his goal to begin with. His team is just like him. Sloppy and inefficient. So one call was all it took for all the investors in his company to take their money out. That's what power is and I like to make good use of it. I like to flaunt it. I like to make sure people know what it can do to them. And that call was all it took that pussy to come running to me, begging for help. I scoffed at the fact he was trying to sell me the benefits of investing in his company. What a bloody fool he was; he did not even know I was the one who brought him to meet his fate in the first place. So I ag
