THE REMORSEFUL BILLIONAIRE

Felix’s POV

John’s plan seems not to be the best thing to do. I would have opted for a better and safer option on how to make her dance to my tune but deep down inside me I knew it was the only card I had to play to win her back.

The desperation I’m feeling isn’t something to be proud of. I know I have become too desperate or probably obsessed with her but I don’t mind. We compliment each other perfectly but I don’t know why she is too blind to see that.

Perhaps, I just have to agree to John’s suggestion. Since the woman I’m trying to be considerate of, isn’t reciprocating the same feeling to me. She isn’t interested in me even when she recently found out I wasn’t to be blamed for the wedding that crashed. I still didn’t piqued her interest and that saddened me a lot.

Still devastated, I recollected all the affectionate words and stares she gave Nathan the other day; they hurt and cut me deep. I couldn’t ignore it or get the scene out of my head. It kept replaying and coupled with the emotions I already have, it has just made me lose all sense of reasoning or empathy.

Lost in thousands of thoughts on my mind, I decided to do like John had suggested. He might be an asshole but he is also the only help I could use, especially here in London, where I know just a few people.

Immediately, I picked up my phone and put a call across to him. He picked after the second beep and we had a lengthy conversation, explaining everything to me again and trying to justify his advice and making it sound like a good one even when I knew it wasn’t.

As he spoke and boasted of his powerful demeanor, One question constantly came to mind and that’s, “what if the plan failed? If it does fail, I know my chances are all ruined and Judith is going to batter me with more hatred. But it better to try than just to fold hands and do nothing while I watch the man I hated the most snatch away the woman I loved the most.

The call ended with him telling me to become a resilient warrior and fight back all the anguish and injustice Nathan has caused me. After he spoke, this time I became more determined to fight back even it means using my entire life and fortune. I would make sure to bring Nathan down.

Today, I break every promise and assurance I had given Judith. I had promised her I wasn’t going to pursue justice because she gave the reason that she didn’t want to kids to be exposed to such trauma and I agreed not knowing she was fighting to protect her love.

“From today on, I will make him drink his tears and crawl at my feet for forgiveness. I will give him double of all the pains and anguish I felt. When I’m done with him, he is going to become an embarrassment to his family and will eventually be disowned by his father” I thought and let out a wicked and satisfied grin.

I tucked myself into bed comfortably, covering myself with a duvet and slept off with the hope of starting my new adventure the next day.

The next morning was fresh as the scents of blooming flowers in the garden filled the air. I strolled into the garden with a cup of coffee and humming to a popular song from my blazing speaker.

Oddly enough, I was in a positive state of mind than I was yesterday. It was like I lost all of the memories of rejection I had the previous day. I became more enthusiastic and had a different perspective.

Suddenly, a hint of loneliness flashed in my head. I wouldn’t even deny the fact that I missed America: my businesses, friends and life are abandoned there. I struggled so much to fit in there, as the place was only known to house powerful and sophisticated people. I worked so hard for my business to be able to thrive. I worked tirelessly, day and night to get to the level I was.

Since I came to London, I haven’t even had real fun, or made genuine friends or connections. I wouldn’t exactly call John my friend; our relationship is a mutual one and we just shared a common goal; that is to bring Nathan down. My head have only been enveloped with the determination of claiming Judith back. Nothing else mattered.

My businesses have been having some setbacks of which my assistant have complained bitterly. I had told him to take care of it but he told me some required my presence before they could be resolved.

Despite his persuasion about the numerous loss the business has encountered, I have refused to go back. Even when my life is almost ruined, I’m still clinging to her-judith.

Now, after several thoughts, realization had dawned that I have scarfice far too much for her. I had even scarfice my dignity and self worth for love. Turning back at this juncture wouldn’t be easy.

Rounding off my thoughts, I imagined what it will be like to go to America with Judith and start a new life altogether. I’d be the happiest man in the universe.

She is worth all the scarfices and losses. Going back to America with a woman like Judith by my side is a big flex. I’m confident that together we are going to build an empire and I will recover all my losses in no time.

Overwhelmed by happiness and a beam of hope, I finally strolled out of the garden back into my room. I needed to get dressed, visit Judith, and kick- start my plans for the day.

Seeing Judith will be difficult. The cold stares she sent me the previous day means that she wouldn’t want to see me anymore. But I’m determined to see her at all costs even if it means sleeping outside her home.

Dashing out of the house, I jumped into the car and sped away from the quiet neighborhood, leaving a trail of dust behind.
