My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 16
Olivia ~•~Before the call ended, Amanda asked me to spend the day with her and David. She wanted me to relax and take my mind off things. I was skeptical about it at first but it was going to be a good distraction from everything. I didn’t have anything else planned for the day, so I decided to agree. I spent a little more time in the bedroom watching TV. I wanted Alex to leave the house for work before going down for breakfast. After about an hour, I went downstairs to eat because my stomach was rumbling as I hadn’t had anything to eat. Emily was still in the kitchen when I got down but the table was already set. I noticed Alex had barely eaten a thing. That was rare. He must’ve been in a hurry. I mean, he wasted most of his morning arguing with me. Without spending much time, I was done with breakfast. It was already late in the morning so I just decided to get ready for my day with my siblings. I had a long and relaxing shower. I took my time to wash my body with my favorit

Olivia ~•~“What the fuck?” I seethed angrily through gritted teeth, making my siblings turn around in shock. “What the fuck?” I repeated in a slightly cracked voice. David turned back because he was driving and needed to focus on the road. But Amanda was still staring at me with a confused expression registered on her face. “What is the problem, Olivia?” I didn’t know what to say, so I just passed her my phone. “What the actual fuck?” She said and passed the phone to David. I honestly didn’t know how to feel. I just had a conversation with him in the morning and he said there was nothing between them. They were just old friends. Old friends, right? Old friends, who kiss each other? This time I wasn’t even angry, I was hurt. I felt like I had been betrayed because I almost brought myself to believe him earlier. “I’m so sorry, Olivia,” David said as he handed my phone to me. “I’m so sorry you have to go through this.” His voice was laced with sympathy. I didn’t respond. I just

Olivia~•~Alexander had been gone for his business trip for about three days and we hadn’t spoken since then. My parents also hadn’t spoken to me because they claimed they were waiting for Alexander to come back from his trip before they returned to the house again. Alexander’s sister, Caroline, had texted me earlier to inform me that their parents were coming to New York. Their parents lived in California and only visited New York occasionally. Whenever they were in New York, they stayed in Alexander’s house. So that meant I was going to be with them alone because I had no idea when Alexander was going to return. I didn’t care to ask because I didn’t want to speak to him. I was just waiting for him to return so we could finalize our divorce agreement. I couldn’t continue to stay married to someone who had no respect for me. His parents were meant to arrive by noon and noon was fast approaching. I had spent the entire morning making sure all parts of the house were clean. I also

Olivia ~•~ I never imagined myself doing something as crazy as this, but I had no choice. Sandra and Amanda tried talking me out of it but my mind was already made up. When I got the text of the exact location, I got into my car and drove out of the compound. Since I hadn’t heard from my husband, I needed to find out the truth from the source instead. As I drove into the street, I thought about the future consequences of my actions but I didn’t care. A part of me wanted to abort my mission, but I was too hurt to back down. I pulled up at the driveway of the beauty supply store. She was going to come out anytime soon, so I kept my eyes focused on the door. I had already planned what I was going to say to her when I hired a PI to find out if she was still in town. I felt a bit relieved when he told me she hadn’t left town. I had assumed she went on the trip with Alex and he just used his business to cover it up. My eyes were still focused on the entrance when my phone started ri

Olivia ~•~ Tricia’s eyes widened and she took a step back, raising her hands in a defensive gesture. “Woah, Olivia, calm down. I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Sandra intervened, placing a hand on my arm. “Olivia, let’s not jump to conclusions.” I shook off Sandra’s hand and fixed my eyes on Tricia’s. “Are you fucking Alexander Burke?” I asked again, this time my voice was louder and Tricia flinched. My eyes were bored with hers and she looked away. “You have no right to come to my residence to harass me.” She was about to shut the door on my face but I was fast enough to hold it back. “You know Alexander is married and you still fuck around with him?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. “Don’t you have some decency?” “I think you should be having this conversation with your husband, not me.” She said and I rolled my eyes at her. She was right, I wasn’t meant to confront her. I was meant to confront Alexander instead. But I hadn’t spoken to him for over a week. “I th

Olivia ~•~“Olivia, please. Can we talk about this?” Alexander pleaded, running his hand through his hair but I had already made my decision. I didn’t want to continue like that. I didn’t even want to keep on arguing with him about it. The past few weeks had been embarrassing for me and I couldn’t take it anymore. For him to know how serious I was, I removed the wedding ring from my finger and placed it on the table. Alexander’s eyes widened in surprise. I could tell he was hurt but I didn’t care. I was also hurt. “Can I have the papers now?” I demanded and Alexander responded with a quiet nod. My eyes were glistened with tears as we both walked upstairs but I wiped it off before it could stream down my face. We got to the room and after searching through the drawers, Alexander handed the divorce papers to me. I grabbed a pen from the drawer and placed the document on the table. Everything was about to change. My life was about to change. I hesitated for a while but when I saw

Olivia ~•~“Olivia, what are you doing here with a suitcase?” My mum got up from the couch as soon as she saw me walk into the house. I let out a deep breath before responding. “Alex and I finalized the divorce a few minutes back, so I left the house.” My causal response seemed to infuriate her further. “Olivia!” She exclaimed, putting her hands over her head. I was already prepared for her reaction, so I didn’t flinch. I just stood there, waiting to hear the lecture on how I had ruined my life. “Olivia, we are going back there. You have to fix your marriage, you can’t stay under this roof anymore.” My mum seethed angrily and I let out a dry chuckle. “It’s already over, there is nothing you can do to fix it,” I responded and was about to walk past her to my room when she held me back. “You can’t bring shame to our family. What will the blogs say about your failed marriage? I won’t let that happen.” My mum’s eyes flashed with determination but I wasn’t going to let her make my

Chapter 23Alexander ~•~ Watching Olivia pack up her things was very hurtful to watch. I thought hard of what I could say to make her change her mind but she was determined to leave the house. I wished things turned out differently. Even if I wasn’t ready to accept the fact that she was no longer my wife, I had to act calm about the whole situation. I never stopped loving her. There was just a visibility rift between us that I wanted to fix. I thought things would get better when I gave her the divorce papers but little did I know I was making the situation worse. After I walked her to her car, I stood and watched until she drove out of the gate. It was then it dawned on me that my marriage was over. I got back into the house and made my way to the bedroom. I showered and changed into more comfortable clothes. I was a little bit tired from the long flight I had but I needed company so I called Arthur to meet me at the house. I needed a distraction. Arthur didn’t take long to a

Chapter 239Mason Craig ~•~I knew asking Riley to be my girlfriend was a long shot, but I didn’t mind. I knew there was a high probability of being rejected, but I wanted to take my chances. I was tired of living in torture every day. I wanted her to be MY girl. I didn’t care about what my parents had to say anymore. I was ready to stand up for myself and prevent them from controlling my life. I could only hope that Riley wanted the same thing too. But I was wrong. Riley stood up and left the exact minute her father called her outside. How did he even know she was at that restaurant? I was stunned. I couldn’t even say anything because I was at a loss for words. I didn’t even try convincing her to stay back for some minutes. I literally just asked her to be my girlfriend. She didn’t give a response. Rather, she stood up and left in the middle of our conversation. In the middle of our date. It was embarrassing. I could only imagine what the staff at the restaurant would be sa

Chapter 238Riley Burke ~•~It took me a minute to realize what was going on. How did my father know about my whereabouts? When Mason noticed the uncomfortable shift in my demeanor, he whispered to me. “Is everything okay?” He asked with a hint of concern in his voice. I shook my head before replying to my father. “Come out where?” I wanted to be certain that he knew exactly where I was. “Come out from the restaurant.” His voice was low but menacing. My heart flew out of my chest and I ended the call. I was even ashamed to tell Mason about what was happening but I had no choice. I knew if I ignored my father and stayed inside with Mason, he would walk inside and cause a scene. “I’m sorry, I have to go.” I grabbed my purse from the table and stood up from the chair. Mason had a puzzled expression registered on his face. “Why? Please don’t go.” He pleaded. “Who was that on the phone?” “My father,” I replied, my voice barely audible. “He’s here to pick me up, I have no idea ho

Chapter 237Riley Burke ~•~As I prepared to leave, my friends escorted me to the sleek car Mason had sent to pick me up. Even Brittany joined in, beaming with enthusiasm. Their energy was infectious and I couldn’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation. Everyone’s excitement was palpable and it added to my own eagerness for the night ahead. My friends bid me farewell as I slipped into the luxurious car, feeling like a princess on her way to the ball. I couldn’t stop smiling as we drove out of the campus premises. I had no idea where Mason was taking me. I just knew that I was having dinner at a restaurant. He was already there, waiting for me to arrive. I was kind of nervous and shy to see him. I had no idea why I was feeling that way because it wasn’t like it was our first date. We had gone on several dates but it was nothing serious. This was the first time I was dressing up in a dinner gown and going out to meet him at a restaurant. After a short ride, the driver pulled up
My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 236
Chapter 236Riley Burke ~•~Earlier today, I wasn’t expecting to go out for dinner with Mason, so I had only a few hours to get ready. I needed to style my hair, shower, and do my makeup. Harper always helped me with styling my hair. It was a good thing she didn’t have any plans for the night because I couldn’t imagine going to the hair salon on such short notice. Harper and Amelia were super excited to help me get ready. With the way they behaved, one would think that Mason was paying them to root for him. I was happy at the thought of going out for dinner with him, but my happiness only lasted a few seconds whenever I realized we couldn’t be together. We didn’t know for sure if our parents would approve, but we were too scared to even tell them about it. I couldn’t even bring myself to tell Caroline about it. She knew a boy from my class liked me, but she had no idea he was part of the family who tried to ruin our company’s reputation. My parents weren’t still happy with thei

Chapter 235Mason Craig ~•~Even if Riley and I weren’t together, I still felt I had to do something nice for her on Valentine’s Day. I wanted to be polite, so I sent presents to her dorm room and planned a nice dinner for us afterward. I wanted it to be more romantic, so I decided to ask one of the best fashion designers I know to make a custom dress for Riley. The dress was meant to be delivered to her room by four but it was almost four and I couldn’t get a hold of the designer. Riley had texted me earlier to let me know she was excited about the dinner. She also mentioned that she was excited to see her dress. As I tried to contact the designer, I paced around the living room worried. I wasn’t getting any response and I was starting to freak out. If they disappointed me, it wasn’t going to be funny. It would mean that I’d end up disappointing Riley too. I didn’t want that to happen. Plus, I paid a lot of money to have it done. “Hey, are you okay?” I heard Rachael’s voice
My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 234
Riley Burke ~•~ONE MONTH LATERThe irritation in my face was visible as I watched Rowan and Belle gush over each other. Rowan gifted Belle a decorated car filled with lots of presents as her Valentine’s present. I blamed my father for giving him access to his money. I couldn’t stop shaking my head because I discovered that Rowan had cheated on Belle. She knew about it but he was always showering her with gifts and she ended up accepting him back in her life. I always wondered why some people behaved that way. It was shameful to watch someone stay in a disrespectful relationship. Was it because she loved him deeply and was too scared to walk away or was it because of his money? Belle’s parents were also rich, so I couldn’t help but wonder what her reason was. Rowan was my ride back to school, but it seemed like they weren’t going to be done with their shenanigans anytime soon. I decided to go back inside the house to get my car keys. I couldn’t wait for my brother anymore. Plu

Mason Craig ~•~My father was really pissed when Big Mama called him and asked to do want the Burke’s company wanted. He was even more pissed because he knew we were the ones behind it but he couldn’t do anything about it. After he agreed to make an apology post, he called all his staff for a meeting. My father didn’t want to completely taint his image, so he asked one of the staff to take the fall. One of them agreed because they were going to be compensated. They wanted to lie to the public that my father didn’t have anything to do with it and was just realizing the person behind it. I felt bad for the people who volunteered themselves, but some people had financial problems and would do anything to make some extra cash. It was a good thing he didn’t force anybody. The meeting ended and they recorded an apology post and also debunked the rumors. But they had to send it to Riley’s father for approval before releasing it online. A part of me was relieved because everything was

Riley Burke ~•~I felt better after Amelia and Harper called to check up on me. It was the weekend and we weren’t having classes, so they had gone back to their respective houses.Our group conference calls always lightened up my mood. After we rounded up the call, I made my way downstairs for dinner. Caroline volunteered to make dinner. For someone who barely cooks, she was a great chef and I was excited to try her food. As I stepped into the dining room, the aroma of roasted chicken filled the air and my stomach growled in response to the scent. I was hungry and couldn’t wait to eat. Everyone was already sitting on the table. “You’re finally done with your phone call?” Rowan asked as I sat beside him. A few minutes earlier, Rowan came to tell me that dinner was ready. I told him to hold on because I was on a call with my girls. I nodded. “Of course, I am.” My family and I engaged in a light conversation as we ate our meal. Every bite I took tasted heavenly and I couldn’t he
My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 231
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
