My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 132
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

Chapter 139Alexander Burke ~•~I had a confused expression registered on my face and it took me a minute before I realized that I should be chasing after her. She responded with a nod when I asked if there was still a chance of us being together, but ran away almost immediately. Her actions were really confusing. Maybe I had made her feel overwhelmed with everything I said to her. Or maybe she felt bad because she was already in a secret relationship with that Max guy. Panic surged through me but I tried to stay calm as I hurriedly walked through the crowd. I needed to find her before she could leave the premises. As I walked out of the building, my eyes darted around the parking lot to see if I could find her. But it was too late, I didn’t see any sign of Olivia at the premises. I facepalmed myself when I realized what I had done. The confession could have waited. I shouldn’t have said all those things to her in a crowded space like that. I had fucked up and pushed her away.

Mason Craig ~•~I had tried calling Riley earlier when I saw her calls but she didn’t respond. Initially, I felt she was upset because she felt I was ignoring her, but I chose to believe that she was asleep. I was washing my face in the bathroom when I heard my phone ringing. I had been expecting Riley’s call, so I rushed outside to take my phone. As I saw Riley’s name flashing across the screen, I let out a relieved sigh. “Hey.” She greeted me with a low voice. I apologized for missing her call and told her about how I tried calling but she didn’t respond. Surprisingly, she was not upset and was okay with it. Before I could ask her about the reason she called, she started talking. She wasn’t happy with the fact that my father refused to debunk the rumors and wanted me to convince him to accept her father's terms. Apparently, that was the only way she would believe that I wasn’t part of my father’s schemes. The call was a brief one because she hung up as soon as she passed her m

Chapter 230Riley Burke ~•~We were talking about random stuff, and then out of the blue, she stared at me and asked. “I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a while. Have you met someone new? Are you seeing anybody?” “Emm… huh? Wha….” I stuttered as I tried to form a coherent sentence. I had no idea why I found it difficult to answer her question. It wasn’t like I ever kept my love life a secret from my mother, her question just caught me off guard. My mother was always the first to know whenever I got into a relationship or met someone new. But this time, her question felt like a trap. What if she knew about me and Mason and was just asking to see if I would tell the truth? But there was actually nothing going on between Mason and I. I mean. We hadn’t even gone out on a date. I wasn’t even sure I really liked him or wanted to date him. He just talked to me and sent me a gift basket. I let out a deep breath and cleared my throat. “I’m not seeing anybody,” I replied, my voice st

Riley Burke ~•~I called Mason’s phone severally but he didn’t answer. I was upset for a moment but I decided to calm down. I figured he would be busy with his family, due to everything that was happening. Or he could be asleep because the day was already dark. After tossing my phone on the bed, I decided to rest my head for a few minutes. But the next time I opened my eyes, I saw that it was morning. Sunlight streamed through the window, making me realize I hadn’t closed the curtains before I slept off the previous night. I blinked repeatedly as I tried adjusting to the brightness coming through the window. Letting out a loud yawn, I sat upright on the bed and reached out for my phone on the scattered sheets. As I picked up my phone, I glanced over the screen to see what time it was. But I realized I had gotten a lot of calls from Mason. I was deeply asleep and didn’t hear when the call came in. I contemplated returning the call but it was too early. I decided to wait for a l

Mason Craig~•~A few moments later, I heard a loud bang on my door, followed by my mother’s angry voice. “Mason Craig! Why did you choose to betray our family?” I had no idea how long I had been asleep for but I jerked back to reality after I heard those words come out from my mother’s mouth. I stood up from my bed immediately and walked to the door. My mother had a disappointed look on her face as the door swung open. “What are you talking about?” I asked, my brows etched in confusion. “So you decided to tell your little girlfriend about what we did? You decided to snitch and betray your family?” She questioned, her voice laced with disdain. My eyes were still thick with sleep and it took me a minute to process what she was talking about. “What do you mean? What girlfriend? I didn’t say anything to anybody.” I responded, my tone defensive. “Oh please!” She waved her hands violently in the air. “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Follow me downstairs, your fa

Riley Burke ~•~After I was done talking to Mason, I went to meet Rowan because he asked me to meet him after my class. We were meant to go back home together. He was waiting for me in the driveway. I settled down in the front seat of the car and fastened my seatbelt. As we drove back to the house, I contemplated telling Rowan about the situation with Mason. But I wasn’t sure if I should say anything. Rowan would be so upset and probably tell my parents about it. I didn’t know if I wanted anybody to know what I knew Mason personally. It was best if I kept it away from them for a while. After an exhausting drive, we arrived at the house. “Is Belle still pissed at you?” I asked Rowan as we both stepped out of the car.He shook his head. “Yes, I messed up big time and I’m not sure she’ll forgive me easily,” Rowan admitted, running his hands through his hair. My lips parted and I blinked. “What? How did you mess up?” My curiosity got the best of me and I couldn’t resist asking him

Mason Craig~•~After Riley left, I remained in the office for a few more minutes. I needed some time to think and clear my head. I was certain that Riley didn’t believe anything I said and I had no idea how to make her see that I was being completely honest with her. Even if she eventually comes around, things will still be weird between us because of my parent’s behavior. After meeting so many shallow people, I finally found someone worth starting something with again. But it was already crumbling before it could even start. I didn’t have any other classes, so I decided to head back home. I locked the office and made my way back to my car. My uncle was a professor at the university, so he gave me a spare key. He asked me to go there whenever I needed a break from the crowd. He was one of the reasons why my father allowed me to attend Columbia University. He wanted me to go to a different country for college, but I didn’t want to go far away. Most times, I do regret my choice. I

Riley Burke ~•~I was already pissed when I saw Mason walking into the class. But his stupid text only fueled my irritation more. He still had the guts to ask if he did something wrong. Whenever I was upset and couldn’t do anything about it, my legs automatically started shaking. Liam noticed and tried his best to calm me down.I hated the fact that I was about to crash out in public. At first, I didn’t want to respond to his text. But out of annoyance, I responded to him and then blocked his number afterward.I didn’t want him to contact me anymore.After what felt like an eternity, the class was finally over. At one point, I even wanted to walk out of the class, but Liam persuaded me to stay. As everyone left the class, I wanted to rush out before Mason could get the chance to speak to me, but he was faster than me. I knew I wanted to have a conversation with him to demand answers but I wasn’t interested anymore. My daddy was going to take care of everything. “What do you want

Mason Craig ~•~After thinking about what to do for a while, I decided to tell Riley about it. I could imagine how devastated she would be if she found out about it from someone else. I didn’t want her to think I was part of it in any way. I knew telling her was me betraying my parents, but I didn’t care. The truth was going to come out eventually. I didn’t want it to look like I was enabling their behavior. At first, I wanted to call Riley and talk to her about it over the phone, but since we had a class together later in the day, I decided to leave it. I would have a conversation with her after our class. A few hours later, it was time for me to leave for school. I was already running late, so I grabbed my keys and bag before rushing down to the car. While I was on my way to school, I couldn’t stop thinking about the damage my parents had caused. They were so hungry for power and success, it wasn’t healthy. Even if they were giving me the silent treatment, I was still determ

Riley Burke ~•~As I got to school, I contemplated going back to my dorm room or going to class. I wasn’t sure I was in the right head space to see Mason. My mind was spinning with different thoughts and I was laced with anger. I couldn’t believe someone would betray me like that. I felt so stupid and used. I didn’t even know what to say to him. As I stepped out of the car, I decided to call Harper first to ask if she was in the room. I didn’t want to go to meet in an empty room, it would just fuel my frustration more. Harper didn’t answer her phone. I was guessing that was in class and couldn’t take the call. Letting out a frustrated sigh, I decided to call Amelia instead. I let out a relieved sigh when Amelia answered on the first ring. “Hey, what’s up? Are you in class?” I asked with a hint of urgency in my voice. “No, I’m in the dorm room.” She replied. “What’s going on?”I didn’t want to talk on the phone. “You’ll see me soon.” I ended the call and made my way to the dorm
