Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

A quickie in the shower won't take long.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

Jared paused, and there was a momentary silence. "Why?" He finally asked.

"Because I don't want to. You can go with Sofia, I'm sure she will be glad to take up the offer."

"But Sofia is not my wife, Arielle," he protested. "You are."

"I have been questioning that lately as I no longer know my stance in your life. You let her do things and get away with them like she's the mistress here."

"Hey," Jared called and approached me on the bed. "I'm sorry-"

"That's the problem!" I exclaimed, threw the sheets off, and sat up. "All you say is sorry, sorry, and sorry. Yet, you make no efforts to change. I am sick and tired of listening to your apologies. You know why? Because your actions still repeat themselves." "Arielle, she's pregnant-"

"And that means her excesses should be condoned? You know what? I don't want to talk about Sofia anymore, because lately as husband and wife, we can't even talk without her being the subject of discussion. Good night, Jared," I said, and threw the sheets back on. Jared sighed in resignation and stood up from the bed. I heard him walk into the bathroom and soon the shower was running. I closed my eyes, and gave in to sleep.

"What do you mean you're not attending?" Ashley's berating voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

It was lunch break at work, and I had called her to inform her about Jared's request. I also told her about my response.

"I don't feel like attending the party," I insisted.

"You must be a joker. So, you're gonna let him attend his school reunion alone when he has a wife as elegant as you? Come on, Arielle. Do better!"

"I still don't wanna attend," I said, pouting my lips stubbornly like Ashley could see me. "He should consider that as his punishment."

"Is that what you think? What if he decides to go with Sofia?"

I retorted. "I already suggested it to him. Since he
