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

Slip–up

(SOFIA'S POV)

I huffed and puffed, trying to control the rage threatening to burst out of my chest. My eyes shone with fury as I stood outside the restaurant's building, fighting hard to regain composure after the security guards pulled me aside.

The humiliation was suffocating me. I couldn't believe all that happened and how I had ended up embarrassing myself in front of the entire restaurant, again!

The diners were literally boring their eyes into me as the security dragged me along, their faces a mask of shock, pity, and amusement. My face burned with shame and rage now, as I recalled it all.

This was all Tiana's fault!

It had started innocently enough. I was preparing breakfast for Jared a small gesture of love, even though he'd been avoiding me ever since he got engaged to her. As usual, I'd been turned away at his gate. But then, Tiana had appeared, all wide eyes and concern, driving by in her sleek car.

Her pitying look made my stomach churn. "Leave, sis," she said, her tone apologetic. "Jared isn't here. He's probably busy... in someone's office." Her hand flew to her mouth, her eyes darting away like she hadn't meant to say it.

Jared in someone's office? Who else could it be but Arielle? He'd sworn he was done with her, but men's promises were as fragile as spun glass.

However, now, as I tugged my skirt back into place and marched to my car, her words replayed in my mind, stoking my anger. I yanked the car door open and threw myself inside, slamming it shut.

Inside, I brought out a mirror from the glove compartment to assess for any damage to my face. And sure enough, there was plenty.
