Theodore's Regret 16. Under Arrest
TheodoreThat bastard did it again. He will never learn, will he? The very next morning, I kicked open his office door and entered like I owned it. I did l, in fact, own it. There was no doubt about it. He stood up from his desk after acknowledging my presence. “Ah, Theodore. What a surp-”“-It’s Mr. Maxwell for you!” My voice laced with venom, made him gulp at my words. “Haha, come on now. There should be no formalities now that you are my son-in-law. You didn't have to come all the way here. You should have called me instead.” He said awkwardly, filling in the silence. He moved out of his desk and approached me. “Come, have a seat. We can talk about whatever you want,” he pointed at the couch in his office. “Your friend is also welcome, don't worry,” he offered Daniel, who was standing in the doorway, looking bored at the whole scene. I smirked at him. He really wasn't doing that, was he? “Sure, let's talk.” I brushed past him, bumping into his shoulder purposely before taking lo
Theodore's Regret 17. The Gift
Theodore “Already got the news of your daddy dearest, I assume?” My voice came out harsher than intended. But I didn't care. Her father had already cost me a lot of time. And now, she'll be the one to carry out his plans. But I'll ruin her before she can even think about it. Alina abruptly jerked up from her position and met my eyes. “Excuse me ?” She quickly wiped the remaining tears on her face as she continued to look at me in confusion. So she didn't know about her father? Why was she crying? Oh cut it. It was just an act. But what if it's not? What if there is something that is worrying her? My heart fought. “Why are you crying?” “Why do you care?” Oh, so she's back to being her bratty self. She broke eye contact and looked back at the sky. I've had enough of this ignoring. I cannot be ignored! Bending down to her level, I held her chin and aggressively jerked her face to make her look at me. “Listen you-” I forgot what I was saying when I felt my heart pang at the sight bef
Theodore's Regret 18. Sudden Changes
TheodoreI walked into the living room after a long day of work, hoping to get one glance at Alina. Fuck, I had gone crazy. I was hoping to steal a glance of the woman who was the daughter of the person I hated immensely. My heart calmed in satisfaction after spotting her situated on the sofa, comfortably with her legs tucked under her hips, as she continued punching some keys on the laptop. She was so engrossed in her work, she only realized my presence when I went to take a seat opposite her. “Oh, you are back,” she said with a straight face.“I am. Not happy to see me, are you?” “Who said that? I was just surprised you are early today,” She looked at her worst watch. “Hm. You talk like you haven't been ignoring me for the past two days.”“Why would I be ignoring you?” She frowned. Because I was a bitch to you? “I don't know. You tell me.” She sighed at my response. “I really don't know what you are talking about.” My gaze fell on the emerald pendant, gently resting on her co
Theodore's Regret 19. Beautiful Wife
Alina's PovI gave myself a final overview in the mirror. The blue dress did well to enhance the curves on my body. It was a full sleeve silk body-con dress, reaching my ankles. Not too bad, I think. I looked at the clock which stated 7:30. Shit, I am late. I heard a knock on the door, making me glance at it as I put on my earrings. Must be Martha coming to inform me that her dearest Mr. Maxwell is probably going crazy downstairs waiting for me. “Come in,” I announce, hurriedly working on my earrings. I heard the door open before shutting back. “Sorry Martha. I know Theodore might probably be eating your ear out for me being late,” I didn't hear anything back from which made me turn around and face her. “Just let him know I'll be down in two min-” my words died in my throat as my eyes fell on the person who was in my room. “Theodore?” To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I was flabbergasted. Did he come all the way here to give me an earful for being late? He remained si
Theodore's Regret 20. Your Scent Drives Me Crazy
Alina's Pov The dinner was finally over, and I couldn't wait to get home when Mr. Summers decided to spend some quality time over wine. Only if the time was of quality, I thought. “So Alina, when am I expecting little Theodore and Alina running around? I'm sure they are going to be so beautiful, just like you two,” I coughed, choking on my wine, and Nathan came to my rescue. “Are you alright?” He asked, lightly tapping on my back. Theodore was sitting across from me, whereas Nathan sat on the couch next to me, which made him closer to me in this situation. Mr. And Mrs. Summers were sitting adjacent to Nathan at a little distance. “Fine,” I inhaled a sharp breath before pushing Nathan's hand off myself. He was really doing this on purpose just to get on Theodore’s skin. I knew it was working with the glare Theodore was pinning Nathan with currently. That man could hardly contain his anger. “Be careful there,” Nathan commented once before taking his place back. “Anyway, so when am
Theodore's Regret 21. CHANGES
Alina's Pov I didn't know what happened last night, but I couldn't deny it left me wanting for more. Wanting more of Theodore Maxwell. It was getting hard to look past his charms. There was no lie that he could easily get anyone on knees for him, and I too experienced it last night. The weirdest part was, he didn't even have to kiss me to have me panting for him. He didn't. All he did was give me a hickey. Yep he did that, but that was all. And I also know it only happened because he was drunk. He didn't know what he was doing. I convinced myself. Then why did I feel the need to go through it all again? Why did my heart wish he was actually in his senses when he told me all of those things? Shaking my head, I came out of my fantasies, and concentrated on the work at hand. I had to complete the book by next month at all costs. But it was just so hard to find the motivation to get your protagonists the happy ending when you are having a miserable married life youself. Slapping the lap
Theodore's Regret 22. Surprise Meetup
Alina's Pov“Alina?” “Nathan?” I was shocked to see him here. “Surprised, aren't you?” He gave a cheeky smile. “Can't blame me, can you? I mean, a man like yourself doesn't suit in a girly aesthetic shop like this. Which makes me think, what are you doing here?” “Oh, I just came to get mom some stuff. She has a thing for-” he examined the shop shortly before continuing, “-aesthetic things like these. Just wanted to surprise her with some cute stuff. Would you mind suggesting anything?”“I'm sure you'd know your mother better than me, if you already know she likes aesthetic stuff like such,” I scoffed. “Touchè,” he smirked as I continued with checking out my things. “A man can only try getting the attention of a beautiful woman like you.” I felt his presence close as I entered the pin for Theodore's credit card.“Married,” I corrected him, immediately turning around with a sting eye. “Married woman like me Nathan, won't suit a bachelor like you. So it would be in your benefit to ke
Theodore's Regret 23. Real Feelings
Theodore's Pov Was it worth it? Giving Alina a chance, knowing that she is the daughter of that rat? I think so. I couldn't help but change the way I think of her recently. She had proved me wrong in a number of things, and the curiosity to know her better got the best of me. I couldn't erase the protective urge that swirled in me on the day she cried. The day of her birthday and her mother's death anniversary. It pained my heart to see her tear-stained cheeks that day. For a moment, I was scared and didn't want to be the reason behind her tears. Why? I still don't know.But there was just something about her that had entranced me. There was no doubt she was so far the prettiest, most beautiful woman I had ever witnessed in my life. And none of it was plastic. It was all natural. But her aura, her elegance could really make anyone her fan. Mr. And Mrs. Summers were a good example of it. At the dinner at their house, I felt rage consume me seeing Nathan's advances on her. I knew he
