My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 163
Olivia ~•~After getting some groceries from the store, I hurried back home. Luckily enough, the kids were still asleep, so I had time to make breakfast for them. I wanted them to have something to eat as soon as they got up since we slept off without any dinner the previous night. After spending about an hour making pancakes, waffles, and chicken, the kids finally woke up from their sleep. The aroma of my delicious meal probably attracted them to the kitchen. “Are we having pancakes for breakfast?” Rowan asked in a slightly groggy voice as he stepped into the kitchen. “I was about to go find you in your room when I saw the note you left on the door,” Riley stated, her voice still thick with sleep. “Good morning, babies.” I paused and gave them forehead kisses before fixing their plates. “You guys didn’t have dinner yesterday, so I wanted to make you breakfast early.” “Thank you, mama,” Rowan said as I handed him his plate. “I’m taking you to your daddy’s house today.” The ki

Alexander Burke ~•~I watched Olivia silently as she stormed out of my office. I felt a pang of guilt because of the way I had just treated her. Her visit caught me off guard because I wasn’t expecting her to show up at my house. I wasn’t in the right headspace to speak with her and I had no idea how to control my emotions. I was still angry at what she did and I didn’t know how to hide it. A part of me wanted to call her back, but I just decided to let her go. Besides, I was still going to see her later in the day when it was time for the kids to go home. After she left, I stood up from the chair and went out of the office. It had been a while since I last saw my kids, I missed them a lot. I figured they would be in Jason’s room, so I went straight to his room. “Daddy!” They both jumped on me as soon as I stepped into the room. “Hey,” I responded with a smile as I hugged them tightly. “I missed you so much,” I added, meaning every single word. “I missed you too,” Riley respon

Olivia ~•~I was on my bed, scrolling through my phone when it started ringing. I looked at the caller ID to see it was Maxim. I was still upset because of what Alexander had done earlier, so I decided to ignore the call. I wasn’t in the mood to speak to anybody. After waiting for the phone to stop ringing, I continued scrolling through my phone, doing nothing in particular. Maxim called me back and even if I didn’t respond, he kept calling multiple times. I knew it wasn’t fair to ignore him. But I didn’t like speaking to people when I wasn’t in a good mood. Suddenly, I received a text from him. [ Are you busy? Please pick up, I miss your voice.] The anger that was surging through me suddenly vanished and my lips curled into a small smile as I read the text. Immediately after, he called me again. This time, I answered on the first ring. “Hey,” I said, my voice barely audible. “What’s going on?” I asked, trying hard to contain my excitement. “What were you doing?”I hesitated f

Alexander Burke ~•~After watching a movie with the kids, I talked to Caroline about my encounter with Olivia. She made me realize that there was no use staying upset at Olivia. Olivia did what she had to do for her father to finally get justice. Olivia even apologized to me, so it wasn’t nice treating her that way. I was skeptical at first but I thought about the situation and imagined how I would have reacted if the roles were reversed. I could have approached the situation differently but I couldn’t blame her for how she approached hers. Anyway, it was all in the past and I needed to let go of it. Olivia was meant to pick up the kids later in the day, but Caroline asked me to take them to her house instead. She wanted me to apologize to Olivia as soon as possible. She didn’t even give me any room to protest. I had no choice but to agree. I mean, I also wanted to apologize to her. The driver picked up Jason from school and the kids were so excited to see him. After they playe

Olivia ~•~“I don’t want to lose you.” He replied, his voice dripped with determination. I wasn’t expecting Alexander to say something like that to me. Where was it coming from? I opened my mouth to speak but I was at a loss for words. “H…huh? What? How? Wh…what do you mean?” I stuttered as I tried to form a coherent sentence. “Olivia, please wait for me. I can’t stand seeing you with someone else.” Alexander pleaded, his eyes mirroring his desperation. The only conversation we were supposed to have was about his father’s arrest and my father’s death. Why was he talking about my seeing someone else? “I’m confused, what are you talking about?” I asked, my eyes locked onto his. Alexander reached out for my hands and I didn’t hesitate. “It’s just a few months left. Just wait for me, we can be together. We can start afresh. I love you, Olivia.” I felt a jolt of electricity coursing through me but I masked it out and let out a glommy sigh instead. “Alexander please, I can’t do this

Olivia ~•~I dropped the kids off at school before heading over to the office. I had a meeting with a client who wanted us to plan their upcoming event. As soon as I walked into the building, the receptionist told me that the clients had already arrived. I groaned inwardly as I climbed upstairs to my office. They weren’t meant to come so early. I stopped by my assistant’s office and she began apologizing before I could even voice out my frustration. “I’m sorry, I wanted to inform you about the change in time, but you arrived before I could text you.” I rolled my eyes. “It’s okay. Are the clients in the conference room?” I asked and she nodded her head. “I’ll drop my stuff in my office and meet you guys in five minutes.” After dropping my bag off at my office, I poured myself a glass of water before heading over to the conference room. I was excited to plan a new event because I hadn’t done it in a while. My assistant handled everything for the past few weeks because I had a lot

Alexander Burke ~•~As soon as I opened my eyes, I reached out for my phone. It has been my tradition for a while now. I always checked to see if the private investigator had sent me anything new while I was asleep. I let out a frustrated sigh and tossed my phone on the bed when I realized that I hadn’t gotten any new information from him. I was running out of patience and it was making me restless. I had even tried to convince my father to tell me the truth but he refused. Throughout the call, he couldn’t stop blaming me for ruining his life and making him go to jail. I pushed my blanket away and climbed out of the bed. I went into the bathroom to wash my face. When I was done, I went back to my closet to change into something more decent. After that, I picked up my phone and headed for Jason’s room. Just as I was about to open his door, my phone buzzed with a text notification. My heart raced in anticipation as I looked to see that it was from the private investigator. [ I’v

Olivia ~•~[ I’ll be there in five minutes, I hope you’re ready.] As soon as I read the text, my pulse quickened. It wasn’t nervousness about seeing him - it was introducing him to the twins. I quickly finished my makeup and stood up from the vanity chair. Then I grabbed my bag from the bed before heading to the kid's room. “Are you ready to go?” I asked and they both nodded in unison. “I’m so excited to see him,” Rowan said eagerly as he stepped out of the room. Riley chimed in. “Me too.” Maxim was in the city and he wanted me to finally introduce him to the kids. I didn’t protest against the idea because the introduction was due already. Since Riley and Rowan already knew about him, it was only fair that I introduced them to each other. I held them by their hands as I led them outside the house. Maxim had already sent another text to let me know that he was at the gate. A part of me was nervous about the meeting, but I took multiple deep breaths to calm myself down. Just a

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
