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

Try to win her back.

JARED'S POV)

I killed the engine of my car and sat still, deep in thought. There was a battle raging in my head as I sat in the car space. I stole a glance at my reflection in the rearview mirror. Arielle's mother's fingers were still clearly imprinted on my face like an awful tattoo born from the handiwork of a wack tattooist. Maybe it was the heaviness in my heart or the helplessness painted in the mark on my face. But somehow, I finally let out an exasperated sigh as I stepped out of the car. I walked over to the front door and gently let myself in. Walking into the sitting room, I was stunned to find my mother seated on the couch, obviously waiting for me.

From all obvious indications, she was waiting up for me to air her mind about something, because the instant I stepped into the house, she leaped up from the sofa to speak. I watched her expression shift from firm to hesitant then to shocked, right before my eyes. "Oh my God! Jared. What happened to you?" she asked in concern as she walked up to me. She held my face in her hands and gently felt the skin around my cheek. "Who did this to you?"

"It's nothing, mum," I sighed sadly to her as I let her guide me into a seat.

"First, you call off your engagement, and next you're getting attacked by God knows who?" she shook her head sadly

I looked at her quizzically and then it dawned on me that Sofia must have called her.

"I see, Sofia called you," I said, trying to appear indifferent.

"Oh yes, she did, and she was in pretty bad shape."

"Where's she?" I asked.

"Upstairs, probably crying her eyes out."
