The Billionaire's Sweet Wife

I regret you

Her mood was horrible now that she saw Selena's face. When she walked out of the Blackwood Company Building, she received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, is this Zoey?"

"Yes."

"This is the Quinns Hospital. Your mother has been admitted here, and she requests your presence. "

"Okay. I'll be there. Thank you. "

A surge of gratitude hit her. Quinn's hospital was the best hospital in the country. It was also expensive to the bone, but Dante went out of his way for her family. She hailed a cab and went to the hospital. Upon arrival, she was ushered to the top floor, the VVIP ward. She found her mother lying on the hospital bed, looking out of the window.

"Mom," she said and broke into tears. She hugged her mother, and her mother patted her.

"Mom, I'm so sorry this happened,"

Her mother smiled and said

"I'm here all thanks to you, Zoey," her wrinkled face was a little pale.

"I'm glad you're okay,"

"The boys flew to country z to further their studies, and I'm here in this expensive hospital, and our debt has been paid off." she smiled, but her smile flattered when she saw Zoey’s hand

"Where is your ring?" Zoey's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to lie, but she decided against it and only told her half a truth. Half a truth often makes a great lie though.

"We didn't have a wedding mom. We just got our marriage registered. "

Her mother pondered around the information and said okay. After spending the whole day with her and part of the night, she finally got ready to leave.

"Mom, I'll see you the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I can't. I'll be a bit occupied, "

"Okay, Zoey. Please come with your husband when you visit."

"Of course," she replied with a forced smile, but you could swear it seemed genuine.

When she walked inside the house, it was late at night. She dragged her feet inside. She was startled when a deep voice sounded.

"Where were you?" Her mood got sour. Why did he stay up to wait for her when she spent a lot of time with her mother just because she didn't want to see his face.

"Where I'm at is none of your business,"

He stood up and approached her. His anger was palpable. Except for Chloe and his mother, he never tolerated anyone talking back at him. He grapped her wrist with so much force and looked her in the eye.

"Look, Zoey. I only married you to show Lionel whose the boss and because my daughter showed a liking in you. Stay in your fucken lane and never talk back at me again. I didn't like what you did to me in my office. That should never repeat itself. I'm superior and you're inferior, keep that in your fucken mind. You're not my equal. I'm starting to regret this whole thing. One year. Give me one year and I'll divorce you. You're not worthy of me Zoey. This contract this whole charade, it's all ending in a year. I should've chose Laila. She's from a well reputed family and she actually fancied me. Why on earth did I marry a useless, rude, good for nothing woman like you!!!" He yelled squeezing her wrist. He didn't know how it hurt her, not his hold on her but his words. The physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in her chest. It felt like he was mercilessly stabbing her poor little heart with each word.

It wasn't his fault, she should've never disrespected him. He has done so much for her and is that how she repays him. Tears streamed down her cheeks and he roughly let go of her hand. He glared at her trembling figure hard and left for his room slamming the door shut. This startled Zoey making her go down to her knees.
