Theodore's Regret 78. The Comments
Alina's Pov “Don't cause much trouble for Annie ok? Just watch some movies and play with your superman until I'm back,” I kissed Asher on the forehead before he smiled at me. “Ok mummy.” Theodore had thankfully let me continue having Annie as Asher's nanny, despite having doubts if she was good enough. I convinced him that she was the only one who was good enough for my boy. That finally made him agree otherwise he wanted Martha to take care of him, not trusting anyone from outside. Yes, Martha and Anders had now moved into the penthouse since we started living here. And I took peace knowing Martha would also be there to keep Asher company. Two was always better than one. A knock interrupted us as I got up to open the door of the bedroom Asher and I were living in. I had made sure it was a little further away from Theodore's. “Yes?” I asked my baby’s daddy, seeing him standing behind the door. “Um..can I see Asher before leaving for work?” I glanced back over my should
Theodore's Regret 79. The False Accusations
Theodore's Pov I dialed Alina’s extension but she didn't answer. Strange. The surprise I planned for her was finally complete and I couldn't wait a second longer for her to see it. Deep down, I was dying with anxiousness and curiosity as to what she would think about it. Would she think I am crazy? Well, I couldn't deny that. Maybe I should go and get her myself. I walked out of my office and made my way to Alina’s, only to not find her sitting in her chair. That made me scowl. I saw her laptop switched on which means it wasn't long before she left. Otherwise she would have closed it. She must have gone to the restroom. Now I could just wait patiently for her in my office or I could go and search for her. Being the impatient ass I am, I chose the second option. Walking out of her office, I made a beeline to Jenna, the only receptionist and a sweet lady of not more than forty years on my floor. “Where's Ali— I mean where's Stacy?” “She left for the 12th floor urgently. I don't know
Theodore's Regret 80. Congratulations
THEODORE'S POV Alina didn't argue once when I dragged her to me office room. Infact, she stayed silent the whole time. Now that was something I was worried about. She seemed number, almost lost in her own thoughts that she didn't respond to anything. Like anything at all. Not when I made her sit on my chair in the office, not when I poured her a glass of water. Sure she took it from my hand, but made no move of drinking it. Observing her silently, I took the glass from her hand and kneeled down before her to get to her height. Tilting her chin towards me, I raised the glass to her lips before she finally parted them and I made her drink some of the water. She took a deep breath before moving back. “See, what happened. I told you it was fine if I could just come to the office on my own,” she spoke, lost in a trance. “Alina, I'm not afraid of telling them what you mean to me. I'm not afraid to own you in front of anyone, to claim that yes you are the love of my life and yes I'll
Theodore's Regret 81. Mistake
Alina's Pov “I still don't get it,” I responded even though I knew where this was going. But my mind really wanted to believe it was not what I was thinking it was. Theodore sighed before stepping closer to take the file away from my hands and keeping it on the desk before taking my hands in his. Honestly I was blown away when I stepped into the building because it really was perfect. The interior, the furniture, the plan, everything about it screamed perfection. One would die to have an office place like this but then again, I didn't want to disappoint myself after getting my hopes high. “Alina,” Theodore started and got my attention back. “I can't go back in time and reverse everything that I did. No matter how much I wish I could, I can't. But this is another way I came up with to make things right between us. I know what I did was probably the biggest regret of my life. But I need to make things right. And I can start that by giving you something that you have always wished fo
Theodore's Regret 82. Running Away
Alina's Pov I sprinted down the pristine hallway, my footsteps echoing against the marble floors of the otherwise silent office building. The modern glass walls and sleek metal fixtures, so sterile and orderly, contrasted starkly with the chaos roiling inside me. My heart pounded not just from exertion but from the memory of that kiss—Theodore's lips on mine, hot and demanding, pushing me toward a pleasure I couldn't afford. Not from him. "Alina, wait!" His voice, deep and insistent, reverberated through the empty space, slicing through the stillness. I didn't dare look back. I couldn't face him, not after what had almost happened. My cheeks burned with the memory, my body still humming with the remnants of our encounter. I veered around a corner, the conference rooms blurring in my peripheral vision. The office's beauty, its floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing a panoramic city view, felt like a cruel mockery. It had seen everything—the way his gaze softened before he kissed me,
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
Theodore's Regret 3. Visitor
Theodore "Don't fucking bullshit with me, Mark! How are you even capable of being a lawyer if you can't give correct information to your client!" I threw the papers in the face of the thirty-five-year-old-man who stood in front of me in my office. "Mr. Maxwell, first, I worked for your father, which makes him my client, not you. Secondly, I am doing exactly what he asked me to do after his death. I have to follow his instructions. Moreover, these clauses are written in the will. I gave you a copy to read. Didn't you go over them?" Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Why in the fuck did I not read the details in the will and only hear the important points from his mouth? "That's not the point! You should have told me that I had to stay married to her for at least three months before I inherited the complete business! Not just state that I need a wife!" I don't know why my father even believed a woman could make me fall in love with her in three months? Like seriously? What was that old fool on? No o
