Chapter 28 – The Regretful Billionaire: Victoria and Oscar Novel (Online Free)

Vicky was saying at a go, but stopped midway, reaching for some tissue on her desk to wipe the corner of her eyes.

Things were silent between the duo for a while.

The look she saw on Oscar’s face was a really disturbing one. Vicky saw that he looked pained and really confused.

“But still, you moved on.” He said, bringing her out of her thoughts.

“What do you mean? You expect me to keep moping around? Agreed that your marriage was forced, did you not move on with your life too?”

“Your mom almost ended my life then. It is a miracle I am still alive and you are here blaming me for f****g moving on?”

“Even if your mother had not chased me away, I do not think we were ever going to work. It was going to be a disaster in the end. You were getting married and I would not want to be the other woman.”

“It was just going to be for a while until I found a solution. I am sorry about everything but I am deeply hurt too and disappointed. Even the d****n people I call my family are the major people ruining me but that is not what I am talking about. You have a child. You think I was not going to know about it?”

Victoria froze where she sat.

“I am very well aware of her age. Based on my calculations, she was conceived a few days or weeks after you disappeared.”

“I was worried sick about you, searching for you, not knowing you took off elsewhere, forgotten the love I had for you, and started screwing someone else.”

“What???” Victoria uttered in shock, not wanting to believe what he was insinuating.

“So you are going to deny it?”

“Are you insane or something?!”

“Who is the father? Let me guess, Ashton? Or the person whom you were cheating with me on?”

Vicky rose to her feet in anger. “Get the f*****k out of my office!” She said at the top of her voice, pointing towards the door.

“You are pushing me away!!! We are not going to talk about this?!”

“Get out!!!” A tear unwillingly rolled down her cheek which she wiped immediately with her palm.

Oscar’s chest felt heavy upon seeing the tear. Not wanting to freak her out any further, he rose to his feet. “This is not the end!”

“Get lost!!!” She glared at him with glossy eyes.

Oscar finally obeyed, taking his leave.

With a very confused mind and teary eyes, he made his way toward the elevator. He was waiting for the elevator to open up and after what felt like forever, the door opened making Oscar Stand still.

Inside the elevator was an adult in casual clothes and beside the adult was a little girl. Not just any little girl, a baby girl that looked exactly like him.

She had the same hair color, and with her height, size, and the way she was interacting with the adult beside her, Oscar could tell she was just the age he predicted. But what shocked him the most was her eyes. She literally had the same eyes as he did and suddenly, Oscar’s chest felt heavy, finding it hard to breathe.

He absentmindedly watched how chatty she was being with a female figure beside her and before he knew it, the duo were out of the elevator, walking in the direction of Victoria’s office. They hardly even. noticed him or looked at him twice to recognize or predict who he was.

Even after they were out of sight, Oscar still stood there, looking as confused as ever. He had no idea if he should run after them or not.

But nothing was making sense to him since he had fed his mind with the fact that she had an affair with someone else.

Unconsciously, his mind went back to the conversation he had with Vicky earlier about his mother almost ruining her and someone important to her.

Oscar unconsciously started shaking his head. A past scene also crossed his mind. Years ago, when he finally opened Vicky’s text messages, he remembered seeing her type that she had something really important to discuss with him.

“No! That can’t be possible,” He mumbled, running his hands through his hair as he made his way into the elevator.

“Calm down, Oscar. This is all a dream.” He mumbled, trying to control his breadth by doing some breathing exercises as the elevator went to the ground floor.

After what felt like forever, they arrived at the ground floor, the door opened and Oscar came out of it, walking in the direction of the exit.

“Hey!”….. He heard a voice call from behind him but he couldn’t care less if it was him that the person was referring to as he kept walking in the direction of the exit.

“Hey, Oscar, wait up!” He heard the familiar voice say again but that did not make him stop and neither did he bother to look back.

The moment she stepped out of the office building. She caught up with him, holding him by the arm. “What the hell is wrong with you? Did you not hear me calling you?”

“What do you want?”

“You were just coming from Vicky, right? Did you see that little girl that just went up with her nanny?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” He was about to resume his steps but she held him still by the arm.

“Don’t you dare b*t me**, Oscar! Your face instantly came to my mind when I saw that girl! So you are the f***g father and you did not see the need to let me know?”

“See, I told you already. I do not know what you are talking about and neither did I see any little girl. I have somewhere very urgent to be. Just let go of me.”

“You are a terrible liar, Oscar.**********

“So you are the d****g who ruined Vicky before she got here?”

Oscar finally looked into her eyes with a frown. “What do you mean?”

“You are a coward for denying and pretending as though you do not know what I am talking about.”

“How do you know all these? Is that what she told you all? That I ruined her?”

“Just shut your mouth! Do you think Vicky is that jobless to be spreading the news about someone as irrelevant as you are? I have never seen anyone so composed as she is in my life.”

“Of course, rumors are going to fly around and that is why we knew a bit about her past. What did you tell me She hurt you when in reality you are the one who hurt her and abandoned her with a child? Guy??? You’re so cruel. I can’t believe you deceitfully made me your friend! I am so glad I did not help you. That was how I would have hurt an innocent person.”

“Calm down and lower your voice, Bessie. My head hurts from so much information already.”

“I am not a terrible person. I love Victoria so much. We had a problem in the past but it was all a misunderstanding. There are some truths that I am just discovering today.”

“Not that the details are any of your business but I do not want you to see me as a liar and an opportunist. Since you are my friend and I approached you with genuine intentions.”

“Vicky used to work for me. I got attracted to her. She did all her best to push me away but I succeeded In making her mine. But only by her terms. Our relationship was private. No one in the office knew about it except for our assistants. We used to be engaged but I was waiting for her to get really comfortable with the idea of being my wife before we made it public.”

“My mom found out and destroyed everything between us. I had no idea she was pregnant. Vicky never told me anything. The private investigator told me she has a child but I still do not want to believe that that child is mine.”

“Why? Is it not too obvious? The only difference between you and her is that she is little and does not have a d***k. Every other thing, She is your twin.”

“Please stop,!” Oscar mumbled, massaging his temple.

“What? Now that you know and now that you have seen the evidence, what is going to happen? You are going to deny her now and your child?”

“Men are jokers and you are definitely one of them.”

“You have been having sex with her, do you not know the repercussions?”

“She used to be on the pill.”

“Well, mistakes happen! You probably came too much in her”

“Lower your voice, Bessie,” He mumbled, massaging his temple deeply, to chase away the headache that was building up in his head.”

“You can blame me all you want but you will not understand. All these are none of your business but I told you all you need to know because you are my friend.”

“So what are you going to do now? I had expected that you would be happy about knowing that you are a father but you seem really heartbroken and pissed about it?”

“I have to go!”

“Whatever!” She finally let go of his hand. “Just take care of yourself and come back soon. You still have to win your family over because I need Ashton to myself.”
