My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 131
Olivia ~•~I sat at the cafe, my eyes darting back to my wristwatch at intervals. I was getting impatient as I waited for Sandra to arrive at the cafe. At some point, I was even second-guessing my decision to meet up with her. I had a lot of things to do and she pleaded with me to spare her some time. Now, I was already at the location but she was nowhere to be found. I had also tried calling her multiple times but she didn’t answer her phone. It was already getting late and I couldn’t wait any longer. I had ordered a cup of coffee to keep myself busy, so I stood up and made my way to the counter to pay before leaving. After paying, I was headed for the door when I saw Sandra hurriedly walking towards the transparent glass door. I paused and waited for her to walk inside. “I’m so sorry, please don’t leave.” Sandra apologized and gestured for me to walk to an empty booth with her. I hesitated at first but she kept on pleading.“Fine,” I muttered under my breath as we walked to th

Olivia ~•~I stared at the invitation card lying on my bedside drawer, contemplating if I should accept the invitation or not. The kids spent the weekend with their father and handed me an invitation card when they returned. “Daddy said you should have this and keep an open mind.” I laughed as Riley’s words replayed in my head. She sounded so serious and I was curious to know what was inside the envelope. But I tossed it in the drawer when I realized that it was an invitation to his company’s charity event. Someone I didn’t like was going to be present, so I felt I didn’t need to attend. Alexander and I were cool though but he knew inviting me to the event was a huge ask. That was why he didn’t give me the invitation himself. He had to send it through my daughter so I would find it difficult to decline the offer. Our relationship was strained before but after I reached out to him during the incident with Sandra, we kept in touch more often. Initially, I didn’t want to reach out

Olivia ~•~As I ushered the kids into the back seat of the car, Riley reminded me that I hadn’t given her an answer. It was then it dawned on me that I didn’t call Alex again after he didn’t respond to the first call. He didn’t call me back either. Riley wasn’t letting me go without an answer, so I had to give her one. “Tell your daddy that I’ve accepted the invitation but he doesn’t need to send me a dress.” I closed the door and made my way to the driver’s seat. Just as I started the car engine, Riley continued. “Why?” She asked, her voice was laced with a hint of surprise and disappointment. “But the dress is really really pretty.” “He already bought the dress?” I muttered to myself, shocked by the revelation. I turned around and looked at Riley. “I already have something beautiful to wear.” But Riley wasn’t having it. “It would be rude not to accept it.” She countered, her tone defensive. “I’ll tell him you are excited to see the dress.” I let out a defeated sigh. “Fine, y

Alexander Burke ~•~The plan was to pick up the kids from school and spend some time with them before taking them back to their house. I clocked out of work early and headed for the kid’s school. As soon as one of the staff saw me walk into the building, she hurriedly ran to fetch Jason, Riley, and Rowan. I stood at the reception as I waited for them to arrive. “Daddy!” They all ran to me as soon as they saw me. They engulfed me in a tight hug and I wrapped my hands around them. After I released them from my grip, I turned over to the staff who had brought them to the reception. “Thank you.” I expressed my gratitude before ushering the kids to the car. Rowan and Jason sat in the backseat while Riley sat in the passenger’s seat. I made sure to fasten all their seat belts before heading to the driver’s seat. I started the car engine and drove out of the school. As soon as we passed the gate, Riley jumped up in excitement and I turned to her. “I convinced my mama to attend the eve

Olivia ~•~I hadn’t even been at home for up to thirty minutes when the news of my date with Maxim started circulating on the internet. For a while, I thought the paparazzi had finally given up on snooping around my life. But I was wrong, they were still watching me. I was used to being on these blogs, so I wasn’t fazed anymore. The only good thing was that the reporters knew better than to show Maxim’s face. It would have been worse.Ever since I stopped reading the comments on the news, I had peace of mind. I wasn’t bothered by what random strangers on the internet had to say about me. I didn’t even give room for their negative opinions to get under my skin. I was proud of myself for doing that all these while but today was different. I wanted to read the comments. I wanted to see what people had to say. I knew there were going to be negative ones but I already prepared my mind to look at them. As I scrolled down the comments, my expression shifted from shock to anger, happine

Olivia ~•~I turned on the volume of the car stereo to the highest as I drove through the city. The street lights reflecting on the dark clouds were therapeutic to watch. It had been long since I drove out in the night. I always made sure I finished my day’s activities and was inside with my kids when the day became dark. But I had to drive over to my mother’s house to pick up the kids. After numerous failed attempts to reach me, Alexander settled on dropping off the kids with my mother. I knew she wouldn’t let me go off the hook easily because Alexander must have said some things to her when he dropped off the kids. Plus, I ended our conversation and I was certain she would want to continue from where she stopped. On my way there, Alexander was still blowing up my phone. He was so persistent. I thought he would have given up on trying to reach me. I felt a little bit bad for ignoring him, so I finally decided to answer his call. “Hey!” I said nonchalantly as I paused my music a

Alexander ~•~I didn’t hear a single word that came out of the host’s mouth. My eyes were focused on the entrance of the building. I was watching patiently as I waited for Olivia to walk through the door with the familiar dress I had picked out for her. It was a masked party, but I could certainly recognize her through her dress. Even if I had checked in with her the previous day, confirming if she was still attending the charity event, I still had some doubts that she would come. I already prepared my heart for the disappointment but a part of me still had hope. I wanted to confess my feelings to Olivia. I wanted to be real with her and stopped playing games or listening to my family. It had been over a week since she promised to speak to me but she never did. I wanted to talk to her about us but she never gave me the chance. The most frustrating part was that I couldn’t find anything about the mystery man she went on a date with. My private investigator was only able to get his

Olivia ~•~I spent most of my evening at the salon, preparing for the charity event. I had second thoughts about attending but I just decided to go because I promised Alexander I would be present. He had asked me multiple times to confirm if I was certain that I would attend and I assured him that I wouldn’t miss it for anything. I hadn’t been the nicest person to him in the past week and I wanted to make it up to him. I refused to call him even though I assured him I would talk about the Maxim situation. On multiple occasions, he had tried bringing it up but I always changed the conversation. I didn’t want to talk to Alexander about anything concerning my personal life. I didn’t owe that to him. The only thing I was allowed to speak to him about was issues concerning the twins. I was proud of myself for setting those boundaries and didn’t want to compromise them anytime soon. I felt bad for treating him that way but I felt bad for myself for having feelings for a man who had ano
