Chapter 176 – The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion

Filed to story: The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion >>

It didn’t matter to him whether Morgan was his fiancee or not. She was still just a woman.

“Let me go!” Morgan shrieked as Winston hovered over her.

Still, men were physiologically stronger than women, something no amount of struggling from Morgan would change.

The moment her clothes were stripped off, the single shred of hope Morgan had in her heart completely dissipated. She closed her eyes and sagged into the bed, tears streaming down her face as if she had accepted her poor fate.

A heavy bang coming from the door jolted both Morgan and Winston.

“The fuck you…” the man cursed as he turned to the door, only to grin when he saw who was standing there.

“Hey, baby. Did you come for Daddy?” he cooed to Danika in the doorway. He wasn’t going to waste his chance to get her into his bed again. With that thought in mind, Winston leaped off Morgan and walked to the door. “C’mon over, baby.”

It was apparent he was more interested in Danika.

Morgan quickly recovered and turned to her friend, asking urgently, “Did you come alone, Danika?” She had thought Danika would at least have Eustace come along; Morgan was regretting calling Danika for help now.

“Run away, Danika! This hotel is filled with his men!” She knew Danika was skilled at martial arts, but she couldn’t possibly defeat dozens of men at once!

Danika only shot her a smile, indicating things were alright. She had obviously prepared herself before coming over. All of Winston’s men had been taken care of before she reached this room.

“Run away?” Winston sneered, gently stroking Danika’s cheek. “Neither of you is leaving this room tonight.”

Danika ducked from his touch, saying coldly, “I’ll go easy on you if you kneel and apologize while begging for my mercy.”

She’d consider not making a scene for Morgan’s sake as long as Winston apologized first.

Winston laughed as if he had heard some great joke. “Go easy on me?” His eyes oozed with perversion. “I’d rather see you begging for me, sweetheart.”

“What a waste of time,” Danika thought. She grabbed the man’s collar and lifted him up, slamming his back against the wall. “Really? You’ll have to die first, though.”

Winston was gasping in shock. “Y-you…”

“Oh, aren’t you going to call your men?” Danika sneered.

Taking the bait, Winston yelled, “Someone get her! Fucking-someone get this fucking bitch!” But he was only met with silence from the hallway. His fear substantially increased.

Danika Zellweger knew martial arts, and none of the guards were there to save his ass.

“Where are my bodyguards? What did you do to them?” Winston still tried to act tough while being dangled off the wall by Danika.

Danika didn’t waste any time slapping him on each cheek. “Yeah, they’re all passed out on the floor right now. No one’s coming to save your ass. Scared yet?”

As scared as Winston was, he forced it down. “What…what are you going to do to me? You better let me go before I make you regret it!”

“Hah.” Danika scoffed. “Really? I’d like to see you try.

With that, she dragged Winston to the window and shoved him outside.

“N-no, wait!” The entire upper half of his body was now hanging out the window. Cold wind blasted Winston’s face as he hung from the tall height.

Morgan slipped off the bed, going to Danika’s side. “He’s not worth it, Danika…”

As much as she hated Winston, she didn’t want Danika dirtying her hands with his death. Plus, with the Murrs being quite influential in Parrington, Morgan would get in big trouble if Winston died. She even questioned if Eustace would come to their rescue if shit really hit the fan.

Danika had saved her once before. Morgan didn’t want Danika to be targeted by the Murrs.

“You’re too kind, Morgan. It’s better to remove assholes like this from the world than keep them.” Danika began pushing Winston further out the window.

The man was quivering all over. He cried, “Please stop! I’m sorry, I’m sorry-please, I’ll kneel. Please don’t drop me!”

A pungent smell followed his yelping. Danika looked down to find that the man had pissed himself.

“Disgusting.” She cringed and pulled Winston back from the windowsill. The man curled up into a ball beside the window, still shivering. Danika sneered. “Like I said, I’ll let you off easy this time, but next time, you’ll have to learn how to fly.”

Winston didn’t have the strength to respond. He was still shaking like a leaf.

“Let’s go.” Danika left with Morgan, not wasting another second here.

Only after the two left did Winston stop shaking. A hateful, determined look shone in his eyes as he glared at the door. “I’m gonna fucking get you, Danika Zellweger! I swear!”

Meanwhile, Danika started the car after Morgan jumped in.

“Wanna go home?”

“No, a motel will do. I don’t want my parents to worry,” Morgan explained. Her parents would definitely freak out if they saw how disheveled she was.

Danika hummed. “Stay at mine for the night, then.” Without waiting for Morgan’s answer, Danika drove back to her apartment.

Morgan bit her lip, mumbling weakly, “Thank you.”

Danika smirked. “Still want to marry him?”

“Hell no!” Morgan wrinkled her nose. “Not even if someone held a gun to my head.”

Danika was quite pleased with her answer. “Good. I told you he was a piece of shit.”

Morgan sighed. She only agreed to marry Winston so his family could help hers. But now… if she told her family about what happened tonight, she was confident they wouldn’t allow the marriage to go through.

What about her family’s financial issues, though?

As if knowing what Morgan was thinking about, Danika said, “I’ll handle the money. Don’t worry.”

“Danika, I…” Morgan gaped. “I don’t think you know how…big a sum my family needs to make things up.” If they needed less, they wouldn’t have thought about an arranged marriage in the first place. “How much do you need?” Danika asked casually.

Morgan stared at her in surprise and mumbled, “One billion.”

Not a hundred thousand, not several hundred million, but a billion.

Danika grew silent at the number, to no one’s surprise.

“I know you want to help me, Danika. You’ve helped me so much already. You really don’t have to do

“I’ll cover it,” Danika interrupted steadily, making Morgan sit back in shock.

“Sorry, what did you say…?”

Where was Danika going to find one billion dollars? Not even her divorce settlement with Eustace would’ve garnered that much money.

The car slid to a stop by Danika’s neighborhood.

“You really don’t have to worry about the money. Just tell your dad to be careful about the Murrs antics.”

It was highly likely the Murrs would bear a grudge against the Goldings after what happened tonight.

Morgan nodded, following Danika’s lead. “Alright. I’ll tell them.”

When they were in the elevator, Morgan asked again, “Danika, where would you get one billion dollars?” It’s not that she didn’t believe Danika’s words. It was just that her being able to have that much money so soon was too strange. Danika was an incredible doctor, but her salary didn’t reach millions annually.

Danika took out the key to her front door. “I invest in my spare time, so I have some savings.”

It wasn’t as easy as it sounded, though. But she wasn’t worried. She could borrow some money from Zack. His work was going pretty well…

And if she still couldn’t find enough funds, there was Gilbert…

“Nah, not Gilbert, Danika thought.

“Invest?” Morgan stared at Danika in surprise. She was just discovering this about her colleague. Danika didn’t reveal further, though, so Morgan didn’t pursue the topic any longer. I really don’t know how to repay you for your help, Danika.”

Danika placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled. “You don’t have to, Morgan. I’m not some saint.” “Huh?”

“Can you arrange a meeting for me with your parents tomorrow? I want to talk to them about becoming a shareholder,” Danika explained.

Shareholder?

It took Morgan a second to understand what Danika was saying. Still, she was deeply grateful for her help. “You have a good heart, Danika. You have no idea how much help your investments will be to my family.”

No one in their right mind would invest in their company right now, so Danika’s willingness to invest surprised her.

“Get some rest for the night. Your family’s problem is solved now, yeah?” Danika urged, then showed Morgan to her guest room. She then went to bed straight away, already exhausted from the event of that evening.
