Filed to story: The Billionaire’s Regret Novel By Symplyayisha

“I hope my words choke you up because you deserve nothing but to be in terrible pain.”

“I am not as naive as you think I used to be and neither will I give you the opportunity to come into my life and try to take advantage of me as though you own me.”

“It is totally fine to be jealous of Oscar and have things against him but stop being a pussy! Man up and go face him to sort your shit out! Do not ever bring me into your issues or try to use me as bait!”

“I am never going to fall into your trap so do not try to contact me again or try to impose anything silly on me!” Victoria said firmly, after which she ended the call, not giving him the chance to say anything.

Vicky heaved a deep sigh, catching her breath. She tossed her phone aside as she plopped down on the bed with her mind racing as to what the hell just happened.

“Oh my god…..!” She groaned, bringing her hand to her face, burying her face in her palm, wondering how the hell Greg knew about her pregnancy when she hardly even told anyone. She didn’t want to believe there was someone in her inner circle who was spilling information.

Vee jumped from where she was seated when her phone buzzed beside her. She reached for it and looked at the Caller ID, which was still an unknown number, probably the digits that dialed her earlier.

Vee rolled her eyes, rejected the call, and put her phone on silent mode, placing the device on the nightstand.

Figuring out that she shouldn’t keep bothering about Greg and his issues, especially when she was still not over the sadness of her daughter’s reaction, Vee decided to put herself together.

She got up from the bed and proceeded to the adjoined bathroom to do her night business.

Vee came out a couple of minutes later with a dried body. She went in search of a night dress and settled for the first peach satin night dress that she found.

Once all dressed up, Vicky was about to get into bed when her thoughts went to that of her baby girl.

She exited her room and went in the direction of Sophie’s room. The moment she to the door, the nanny, Gracie, stepped out carefully, shutting the door.

“She’s asleep already?”

“Yes ma’am,” Gracie answered.

“Did she give you any issues?”

“No, Ma.”

“Did she say anything to you?” Vee couldn’t help but ask.

“She is a smart kid, she was probably furious. I am sure she will be better when she wakes up.”

“What did she say?”

“That you lied to her, you don’t like her, and that she doesn’t want to play with you anymore.”

Victoria sighed deeply.

“Am I a terrible person?” She asked Gracie.

“Ma?” Gracie responded, even though she heard Victoria well.

“You heard me and I need you to be sincere.”

 

“I have been Sophie’s nanny for three years now and you’re the most easy going boss I have ever had. I haven’t had any issues with you and I do not think you are a terrible person.”

“Sophie is just upset but I am sure that this will pass too.”

“She is way smarter than her age and how she reacts tells so much about how she really feels. Even a blind could tell how much you love your little girl. I am sure she will come around.”

“Despite how small she is, you have taught her true values and there is no doubt that that is what she is holding on to.”

“Whatever you did, I am sure you had your reasons. Sophie is definitely going to come around. I know that for sure.”

Vicky nodded slowly, trying to take in Gracie’s comforting words.

“I should get going. Good night, ma’am.” She said with a small smile.

“Goodnight!” Vee whispered.

Once Gracie was out of sight, Vicky helped herself into her daughter’s room, careful not to wake her up.

A small smile crept to her lips as she sighted Sophie sleeping soundly, cuddling her teddy bear. Her room was indeed very beautiful, a dream room any 4–year–old would love to have.

Victoria approached her daughter’s bedside, leaned closer, and kissed the little girl’s forehead.

She stayed for a few minutes, watching the little girl sleep after which she exited the room.

Back in the living room, Victoria felt herself feeling mentally drained. She suddenly started feeling thirsty and had the urge to quench her thirst.

Vee found herself proceeding to the bar area. She took out a bottle of alcoholic wine. and a glass cup.

She filled the cup with some wine.

Her lips were almost touching the rims of the glass cup to gulp down the alcohol when she remembered that she was carrying Oscar’s child.

“I couldn’t believe it when I saw your car in the parking lot. I know you come early but not this early. Everything good?” Kathie said in a cheerful tone, walking into Victoria’s office.

Vicky was standing in front of the widow with folded arms, her back facing Kathie.

“Good morning,” Kathie gave her shoulder a light squeeze before standing beside her.

“You look terrible!”

“I know. I hardly had any sleep last night.”

“Are you sure you are okay? You can always go home if you want.”

“No, I don’t want to. Gone are those days when my home made me happy but not anymore.”

“I don’t understand.”

Vicky sighed, turning around to face Kathie.

“I’m tired of being all grumpy and bad-hearted. This isn’t making me happy so I want to let it all go.”

“Where is this coming from?”

“Do you think it’s too late to make it up to Oscar?”

The worry in Kathie’s eyes was instantly replaced with relief as a smile crept to her lips. “What?”

“Sorry, what I mean is that, No, No, it is never too late.”

“But what’s up, Girl? What made you change your mind?” Kathie said with a very bright smile.

Victoria was about to say something but Kathie interrupted. “Wait, please tell me you are going to keep this baby. Please…” she said with puppy dog eyes.

Vicky nodded.
