Too Late For Regrets, Mr. Billionaire (Brianna Meyers and Brandon Levy) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

They spent half the night arguing, but nothing got settled.

The Meyers family left with their tails between their legs.

Everyone knew this wasn’t over.

After the Meyers family left, Gabrielle started her lecture.

She scolded Brandon first, then turned her wrath on Brianna.

Her message was crystal clear: the Levy family would never allow Darcy to enter their home.

If she wanted to have the child, that was her business, but the Levy family would never recognize the baby, and it would never be added to the family registry.

Brianna just listened, not saying a word back to Gabrielle.

‘Let her have the baby? Darcy made me lose my own child. How could I ever let her have hers?‘ Brianna thought bitterly.

Brianna feigned being aggrieved, her voice choked with tears. “But if she has the baby, Brandon can’t avoid his legal responsibility to support it. And in the future, that child would have a claim to Brandon’s inheritance, just like any legitimate kid.”

“I won’t let her have that baby,” Brandon said, his voice icy.

Brianna looked at his strikingly handsome face, and a cold dread washed over her.

‘What a heartless bastard!‘ she thought.

Brandon had made his stance clear, and it was just what Gabrielle wanted.

Gabrielle, probably tired out, nodded, looking pleased.

She turned to Brianna for one last warning. “Just so you know, I won’t let you two get divorced. Ever.”

Brianna looked alarmed, like divorce was the ultimate taboo.

“Gabrielle, I’d never divorce Brandon over Darcy. Especially now, I’ll always be on Brandon’s side,” she said.

Her voice couldn’t hide the smug satisfaction as she said that last line.

Brandon rested his chin in his hand, couldn’t take his eyes off Brianna, watching her with that wounded, almost pitiful look.

When the sky was turning pale, everyone finally called it a night and went to bed.

Brianna went upstairs and just flopped onto Kendra’s bed, not caring about anything anymore.

The next morning, she got up early, skipped her makeup, and for once, actually made breakfast for the whole family.

Gabrielle got up and saw a big breakfast spread across the table.

Then she glanced at Brianna and noticed the dark circles under her eyes. She looked really run–down.

Gabrielle nodded in satisfaction, and for once, there was a rare gentleness in her eyes as she looked at Brianna.

“You really don’t have to do all this yourself. Let the housekeeper handle it. You need to take care of yourself,” Gabrielle said.

Brianna, learning to be more considerate, brought over a bowl of bird’s nest soup for Gabrielle.

“You don’t come stay with us very often, so this is the least I can do,” she said.

Brandon sat there, unable to take his eyes off Brianna–his gaze practically sizzling as he watched her like she was someone he’d never seen before.

‘When did she change so much? She’s like a totally different woman now, Brandon wondered.

Brianna met his probing eyes, catching him in the act of studying her.

She peeled the egg for him, handing it over with a caring touch.

She said gently, “You hardly slept last night. If you don’t have much going on this afternoon, try to come home early and catch up on some rest.”

Brandon murmured his agreement, took the egg, but kept his eyes fixed on her, still quietly studying her.

‘She’s like a whole new person today,‘ Brandon thought. ‘Did what happened yesterday make her feel threatened? Is she trying to fight for my affection now?‘

Brianna happened to catch his triumphant look.

She was so embarrassed she could feel her toes curling in her shoes.

‘Oh my god, why is he so cheesy?‘ Brianna thought.

After finally finishing breakfast and dropping Kendra off at school, Brianna and Brandon headed to the hospital with Gabrielle.

Josefina was propped up in bed, looking listless as she watched them come in.

Brandon stood with his hands shoved in his pockets, not a trace of guilt on his face, but his voice was surprisingly humble.

“Grandma, I know I haven’t been the best grandson. Sorry for making you worry about me,” he said.

Josefina had been through enough drama in her life. No way was she going to let something this petty take

She was just faking being sick, showing up at the hospital to put the squeeze on Brandon and make sure Darcy was left out in the cold.

When she saw Brianna and Brandon walk in with Gabrielle, Josefina finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Brandon, is what they’re saying true?” Josefina dropped the act, her old sharpness returning as she spoke.

“Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll handle it,” Brandon replied.

“So, what’s your plan?” Josefina asked, her eyes fixed on Brandon, searching his face for answers.

Brandon knew Josefina always had Brianna’s back, so he replied, “I’m not getting divorced, and I won’t accept any child from another woman.”

His tone was calm, but there was no mistaking the resolve in his voice.

Josefina knew Brandon was a man of his word, so her worries melted away. “Go ahead, you must be busy,” she said.

After Brandon left, Brianna stayed behind to keep Josefina and Gabrielle company for a while.

She kept reassuring them, telling them to stay strong and reminding them that the Levy family would only ever acknowledge her as their daughter–in–law. After having lunch with the two of them, Brianna finally headed out.

As soon as she got to her office, Patsy Sampson followed her in.

“Are you okay?” Patsy asked, her voice full of concern.

“I’m fine,” Brianna said, giving her a small, casual smile.

“Maybe you should go home and get some rest,” Patsy said, her eyes full of worry. “You really don’t look well.”

Brianna smiled. “I’m fine. I skipped the makeup on purpose this morning–just acting for his family, you know.”

“So, what did his family say?” Patsy asked.

“She’s not allowed in, simple as that,” Brianna said with a dismissive pout, then fired up her computer, ready to get back to work.

“So, what’s your take on all this?” Patsy probed, watching Brianna carefully.

Brianna’s eyes turned dark, her lips pressed tight. She stayed silent for a moment, then finally spoke, her voice cold and full of venom. “She made me lose my child. I want her to pay. An eye for an eye.”

Patsy’s eyes lit up with approval, and she relaxed, grinning. “You’ve got guts. I like that!”

After a pause, Patsy leaned in and asked, “So, what’s your plan?”

Brianna paused, propping her chin up with her hand, her brows knitted in contemplation.

“Brandon says he won’t let her have the baby. We’ll see how this plays out,” she replied.

Patsy’s face went through a whole range of emotions before she finally asked, “What do you think he really

wants?”

Brianna shrugged it off. ‘Like I care what he wants,‘ she thought.

“He’s probably just worried about his money,” Brianna joked.

Patsy stared at her for a moment before finally saying, “You’ve really changed.”

Brianna looked up, locking eyes with Patsy, her face serious.

“Why do you say that?” she asked.

Patsy smiled, her eyes full of approval. “You’ve gotten ruthless. From now on, you’re basically the Empress Brianna–no one messes with you.”

Brianna burst out laughing.

Patsy’s smile faded, and she said seriously, “Honestly, seeing you like this makes me really happy for you.”

Brianna was struck by that and quipped, “Right? If a woman doesn’t have a ruthless streak, she’ll never hold her ground.”

Just then, a colleague knocked on the door.

“Ms. Meyers, someone’s here to see you,” the colleague said.

As she spoke, Darcy strutted in on her heels, arms folded across her chest.

Before Brianna could say anything, Patsy jumped in, her voice full of hostility. “What are you doing here? Didn’t you make enough of a scene yesterday?”

Darcy smirked, dragged a chair over, and sat down right across from Brianna.

She shot Brianna a bitter, aggrieved look.

Her voice dripped with contempt. “Just tell me, what will it take for you to leave Brandon?”

“Did you take crazy pills or something?” Patsy shot back, her face twisted with anger. “Do you even know your place?”

Darcy didn’t even bother to look at Patsy. She pulled out a stack of photos from her bag and tossed them onto the desk right in front of Brianna.

“Not leaving him? Then brace yourself for the fallout,” Darcy sneered.

Brianna didn’t even give Darcy the time of day, couldn’t be bothered to waste another word on her.

She grabbed the photos off the desk, and after just a single glance, she jolted upright, utterly stunned.

She stared at Darcy, terror etched across her face, her complexion so pale she looked almost spectral.

Patsy could tell something was off and walked over to Brianna. “What’s wrong?” she asked, worried.

Brianna handed the photos to Patsy without a word.

Patsy gasped in shock.

“Where did these photos come from?” Patsy asked.

Brianna staggered, barely keeping herself upright by clutching the desk for support.

Her head felt like it was about to explode as she desperately tried to remember how this could have happened.

Darcy wore a smug, triumphant grin, like she’d already won.

Darcy stood up, her face full of scorn as she taunted. “What, you already forgot what went down in Seavale?

“If you don’t want these photos all over the place, then hurry up and sign those divorce papers–and get the hell out!”
