My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 108
Olivia ~•~I let out a relieved sigh as I saw Alexander’s car behind us through the rearview mirror. I didn’t say a thing to Ethan who sat beside me. I couldn’t believe he would cause a scene at my kid's party. He couldn’t wait until it was over before starting anything. He always found a way to make my life miserable. And what did he even mean by getting me arrested for the murder of Caleb? Who the fuck was Caleb? I wanted to ask him about it but I decided to wait until we got to the station. I could feel Ethan’s eyes on me but I didn’t turn around to look at him. I was certain that he had a lot of hatred for me and Alexander because we made him stay in jail for five months. Maybe this was an act of revenge but he deserved being in jail. He caused it upon himself and ruined five months of his life. If Ethan was a sensible person, he was meant to move back to California as soon as he was released from prison. But no, he decided to stay and cause more trouble, as if he hadn’t alr

Olivia ~•~Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. Even if everything was falling apart in my life, the holiday cheer always brought me a little bit of relief. But this year, I was grateful everything was going smoothly, even if the previous months were hell. I had finally gotten rid of Ethan. He had moved back to California and I filed a restraining order against him for me and my family. My focus was now on taking care of the kids and ensuring my business was successful. I had a lot of events to plan and it distracted me from thinking about all the traumatic things I had been through in the past months. As I sat at my desk, reviewing details for an upcoming event, my phone buzzed. I picked it up to see that it was Maya calling. “Hey, baby girl.” I greeted her warmly as I answered the call. Maya responded with a soft chuckle. “How are you doing?” “I’m good, I can’t wait to see you.” I squealed in excitement like a child who just got her favorite toy as a Christmas presen

Alexander Burke ~•~“I can’t, Dad,” I said as I paced around my room. “I already made plans with them and I can’t cancel it at the last minute,” I added, running my fingers through my hair. My father had already made his decision and he didn’t want to change his mind. “You have to find a way to tell her. I need you to come here alone.” I stopped pacing, took a deep breath, and continued. “If they aren’t coming with me, then I’m not coming either,” I replied, my tone serious and firm. “I promised to spend New Year's with the kids and I wouldn’t want to break that promise.” “Alexander Burke, you have no choice. Unless you want to put our family business in jeopardy, you would do as I say.” His voice was low and menacing. I let out a disgusted scoff. I was a grown adult and this man still found a way to control my life. Anytime I tried to make my own decisions, he always guilt-tripped me with the business. I wasn’t happy with his decision but I had no choice but to agree. “Fine, D

Olivia ~•~A new year meant a fresh start. I had given myself a clean slate. I had forgiven myself for my past mistakes. It was a new beginning for me and I was going to make the most of the year. “Happy New Year, babies!” I smiled as I stepped into the twin's bedroom. They were wide awake and their eyes were fixed on the television. They both turned to me with their eyes lit up with excitement. “Happy new year, mama.” They both smiled and engulfed me in a warm hug. “I’m sorry the trip was canceled.” I apologized for the umpteenth time because they were really looking forward to it. Alexander canceled on us at the last minute. He claimed he was going to be busy with work there and we should reschedule our trip. I was kind of sad because I was looking forward to seeing Maya. I even wanted to go there on my own but Alexander pleaded with me to hold on a little bit. After speaking to Maya about it, she advised me to listen to him. I decided to be a little bit patient because I wa

Alexander Burke ~•~I watched as my phone rang multiple times but I couldn’t bring myself to answer the call. It was Olivia calling me but I couldn’t respond because I didn’t know how to face her. Even though Caroline advised me to tell her about it before it made the news in a few hours, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I didn’t want to hurt her again. I wasn’t sure how she felt about me but I was certain that she was going to be hurt if she knew the person involved. I had been lying to her for days. I mean, I had kept the information from her for days. We spoke almost every day since I left for California and I didn’t tell her about what was happening. But this time, I couldn’t bring myself to answer her calls because the news was getting out today. My father claimed he wanted to make a statement for the New Year's. Why didn’t he make such a statement with his own life? I let out an unbelievable scoff as I thought about everything that happened. Why couldn’t I stand up for my

Olivia ~•~I was frozen in my car, my eyes glued to my phone. I couldn’t believe what I had just seen. Tricia? I hadn’t heard her name in a while. It couldn’t be true. Alexander wouldn’t do me like that. At least, that was what I told myself. Everything started making sense. I knew something was fishy when he canceled the trip at the last minute. He had another agenda in California. That was the same reason he didn’t want me to go on my own. He knew exactly what he was doing. I felt like a fool. I felt so stupid. A few months ago, he was trying to make a move on me but now, he has gotten married to his ex-girlfriend. The same girl who was a major factor in our divorce a few years back. I let out an unbelievable scoff and my grip tightened on my phone. We weren’t together and a part of me felt I wasn’t meant to be angry. But I couldn’t hide it, I was extremely angry. It would have been understandable if he had moved on with someone new but it’s TRICIA! Oh my goodness! What was

Alexander Burke ~•~I was still inside the room when I heard a knock on the door. “It’s Caroline.” I heard my sister's voice echo from the other side of the door. “Come in! The door is unlocked.” I said and sat upright on the bed. Caroline had a concerned expression registered on her face as she pushed open the door and walked to the bed. “Did you tell her about it before it was released publicly?” I shook my head, regretting my decision. “No, I wanted to tell her but it was too late,” I muttered, rubbing the bridge of my nose as if it would relieve the stress. Caroline sighed. “Do you think she has seen it? Has she reached out to you?” I shrugged. “I have no idea. I turned off my phone.” “You know you can’t shut her out forever, right? You have to talk to her about it.” Caroline advised solemnly. “It’s better you do it now.”“I think I should wait a little bit, this isn’t the right…...” Caroline cut me off before I could even complete my sentence. “There is no right time for

Olivia ~•~I couldn’t sleep the previous night and it was baffling. I wasn’t expecting the news of Alexander’s marriage to Tricia to affect me that much. I was disappointed in myself. Why was I so bothered? We weren’t together and it wasn’t meant to be any of my business. But somehow it still stung badly. It felt like a heavy punch to my guts. I didn’t know I had feelings for Alexander. Or maybe I was just upset because it was Tricia who made me finally give up on my marriage. And now, she had gotten the man. It wasn’t a competition. I couldn’t be in a competition with another woman because of a man. No, I wasn’t a teenager anymore. I was a grown adult who was responsible for two amazing children. Alexander wasn’t a prize. Oh my! I hated myself for feeling like this. Why was I so bothered? I was losing my mind. I couldn’t help but wonder what the blogs were saying about it. I didn’t care to read the comments because I had promised myself to stay clear of the comments that invo

Chapter 269Riley Burke ~•~I wanted everything to be perfect! For the past two weeks, I’ve been looking forward to this day. Mason and I were finally going on our date. I had no idea why I was nervous. It wasn’t like it was the first time I was going out with him. Maybe I was just having PTSD from our last date. But I knew I had nothing to be worried about. My father had assured me that he was okay with me being with Mason. He wanted me to be happy, even if my happiness included being with someone who had hurt us in the past. It wasn’t Mason who hurt us but I just didn’t focus on that part. As long as he was ready to move past the whole situation, I didn’t care to correct him anymore. “The makeup artist is here!” Rowan yelled loud enough for me to hear after knocking on my room door. Yes, I had to ask for a professional makeup artist because I was hellbent on making everything perfect. “I’ll be downstairs soon,” I replied as I wore my hair bonnet to protect my hair while getti

Chapter 268Mason Craig ~•~Ever since Riley’s father picked her up from the restaurant and interrupted our date, I had this lingering feeling of sadness inside me. But I acted like everything was fine and normal. I didn’t want to put too much pressure on her. I felt hurt because every day I woke up, I was reminded that she wasn’t my girl and could easily give another boy a chance. I didn’t want that to happen but at the same time, I didn’t have any control over it. Every day felt like torture but I was glad that it had finally come to an end. Riley’s father had finally approved of our relationship. A wave of excitement surged through me but I tried my best to remain calm when she told me about it. I would finally be able to be with the girl of my dreams. I had a feeling that he changed his mind because my father agreed to help when Riley had gone missing. I also had my father to thank. He finally fixed the mess he had caused earlier. Everything was finally going smoothly. I h

Chapter 267Olivia ~•~“Are you sure you don’t mind seeing them together?” I asked Alexander for the umpteenth time when he said he wanted to tell Riley that she could be with Mason. I didn’t want a situation where he would second guess his choice and regret his decision. Or a situation where he wouldn’t be nice to the boy later in the future. It wouldn’t be fair on Riley. Alexander nodded his head as he parked the car in the driveway. “Yes, I’m sure.” He assured me. “I shouldn’t be the one to take away my daughter’s chance at teenage love.” He added, smiling at me. I shrugged. “Okay, if you say so,” I replied as I loosened my seatbelt. “I hope you don’t have any secret animosity towards him that will reveal itself later.” Alexander laughed. “Don’t you trust me?” He asked, raising a brow at me. “I’m not holding anything against the boy. Not even his parents.” “Fine.” We stepped out of the car and made our way into the house. On our way back home, we stopped at the mall to get

Chapter 266Riley Burke ~•~It was fun having my friends over for the weekend. And it was a total flop trying to pretend like I was surprised when they first arrived. They saw right through my pretense. Even if we hadn’t been friends for so long, they knew me well enough. I barely even thought about what I had gone through while they were around. Having them around was a good distraction. I was sad that they had to leave. But I couldn’t do anything about it as I walked them to the car. During their stay, I realized that it was actually my mother’s idea to invite them over. Now it made sense why she was so welcoming. My mother didn’t usually like it when I had my friends over. I mean, my friends from high school. Our family was always under scrutiny, so she didn’t trust anybody. It was nice to see her giving my new friends a chance. The weekend was over and it was a new school week. I hadn’t completely healed but even when I assured my parents that I would be okay, they claime

Chapter 265Riley Burke ~•~As soon as my dad handed me a new phone, I found my friend's phone number and called them immediately. It was already noon and on the weekend, so I was confused about why none of them answered their phones. I mean, those girls were literally always with their phones. I really wanted to speak to them, but I guess I had to wait until later to try calling them again. Maybe they were busy with something. I spent most of my time inside my room and I was getting bored. Normally, my mother didn’t like it when l took my food upstairs but this time, she brought the food to my room by herself. I hadn’t gotten any reason to go downstairs. I needed a change of environment, so I decided to freshen up and head downstairs. I was pretty sure Rowan and Jason were playing video games in the living room. After spending about thirty minutes in the bathroom, I dressed up in my comfortable sweatshirt and shorts before making my way downstairs. “Hey,” Jason said as soon a

Chapter 264Olivia ~•~I wanted to accompany Alexander when he was going to see Maxim, but he refused. I knew that he didn’t want me to see him, but still, he said I was going to see him later. After helping Riley with dinner and giving her medication, I went back to the room to meet Alexander. I hadn’t talked to him since he came back from the station. “Hey, what happened at the station?” I asked him as I walked into the room. He was standing in front of the closet and searching through it. “I have something to tell you,” Alexander muttered under his breath. My interest became piqued. “I’m listening,” I responded as different thoughts ran through my head. Alexander sounded so serious and I couldn’t help but wonder what he wanted to say to me. He took a deep breath and turned around. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.” He cleared his throat and continued. “You remember when you found out that Maxim was a fraud?” He asked and I nodded, anticipating what he had to say next. “Y

Chapter 263Riley Burke~•~When we finished at the restaurant, my father asked my mother to drive me back home. He wanted to go to the station to see Maxim and the other men who kept me hostage. My mother wanted to accompany him but he refused, saying she would see him later. As soon as my father left, I followed my mother to the car. I couldn’t wait to go back home and see my brothers. I was so excited to see everyone. Being free felt so good. “Riley, I’m inviting the doctor over, so she can do a checkup and give you the necessary treatments you need.” My mother said as I settled down on the passenger’s seat. I hated anything related to hospitals or medical care, but I couldn’t protest against it. I actually needed medication because I was still in pain. My legs and my head were still hurting and I needed the pain to stop. “Sure,” I responded with a smile and my mother nodded. A few minutes later, we arrived at the house. My heart leaped for joy as the security guards open

Chapter 262 Rowan Burke ~•~I loved my sister but I had no idea that her absence would affect me so badly. Ever since I realized she was missing, I couldn’t even focus on anything else. My mind was always racing with different thoughts. What if something bad had happened to her and my parents took so long to search for her? Everyone thought Riley had willingly disappeared but that wasn’t the case. My sister was missing. I couldn’t even talk to anyone or go anywhere. I shut everyone out, including my girlfriend, Belle. Until Riley was found, I was certain that I would be restless. While my parents were at the station, I kept on blowing their phones with constant calls. Most of the time, they didn’t respond. A part of me felt bad because I wanted to be kept in the loop, I wanted to know what was going on, or even if they had gotten a lead. But I knew that they were busy and my calls were distracting them from doing their work. When my mother finally answered her phone, she a

Chapter 261Olivia ~•~Different waves of emotions rushed through me as I saw Riley running in our direction. Relief, joy, and gratitude swirled together, overwhelming me.I was so happy to see her. For a moment, I thought we were at a dead end. I thought she had left the house or the men they caught were probably lying about her whereabouts. She looked so scared but also excited to see us. Before I could even move, Alexander rushed and pulled her in a tight hug. I was still in shock as I watched them reunite. After a few moments, I joined them, turning the hug into a group hug. “Oh my baby, um happy to see you.” I smiled at Riley as we broke the hug. Riley looked like she was struggling to hold back her tears. I could only imagine what she had gone through at the hands of those people. Alexander stepped aside to call the detectives. He wanted them to know that we had seen Riley. While he made the call, I led Riley to the car. As soon as we got into the car, I began asking her
