My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 170
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

Olivia ~•~ONE YEAR LATER“Baby, baby.” I heard muffled voices from my sleep but I was too exhausted to open my eyes. It was followed by a gentle tap on my back. Letting out a loud yawn, I opened my eyes and turned around to see Maxim staring at me with lustful eyes. “Good morning.” I smiled as I placed a soft kiss on his hand. “I hate that I have to leave today,” Maxim grumbled as he pulled me closer to his arms. “I’ll miss you so much.” He added, attacking my face with kisses. The thought of him leaving made my stomach churn. “I’ll miss you too. I don’t want you to leave.” I groaned inwardly and leaned into his chest. “You know I have to leave for work.” He reminded me and I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, right.” I hated that we had to be apart from each other. The distance between us was frustrating but we still tried our best to make it work. Maxim and I had been together for eleven months. He made me feel so seen and special. I felt safe and comfortable in his presence. Life was

Olivia ~•~I couldn’t get any sleep throughout the night. I kept on thinking about the text message I had received. What did the person mean by calling me a homewrecker? Who’s home did I wreck? I tried calling the number multiple times after sending numerous texts demanding answers. But no matter how I tried, the person was deliberately ignoring me. Normally, I would have ignored the accusations. But this person had access to my personal number and it was scary. My curiosity made me so restless. As soon as the day was bright, I picked up my phone to call my sister. I wanted to tell her about what was happening so badly. “Hey, good morning.” I greeted her in a slightly faint voice as she answered the call. “Hey, Liv. What is going on?” She asked, her voice lively. I hesitated for a moment, then I took a deep breath before speaking. “I got a weird text message yesterday,” I said, running my hands through my hair. Amanda’s interest was piqued. “What was the text about?” “How doe

Olivia ~•~The kids were in their room getting ready while I remained in the sitting room. I had called Maya earlier but she was busy and asked to return the call in about five minutes. My eyes were glued to the television as I used it as a distraction while waiting for Maya’s call. In exactly ten minutes, my phone started ringing. I picked it up from the table and saw that it was Maya who was calling me. “How are you doing?” I asked, my voice gentle. “And how’s my baby?” My heart melted as I thought of Maya’s new baby.“Baby North is fine, I just put her to sleep,” Maya responded, her voice beaming with pride. “As for me, I’m exhausted,” Maya added with a soft chuckle. I couldn’t help but laugh. “It’ll get better with time,” I reassured her. “I’ll come over to see you guys during one of these weekends.” Ever since Maya gave birth about three months ago, I haven’t had the chance to visit her in California. I wanted to go with the twins because they pleaded that I shouldn’t go wit

Olivia ~•~Two weeks had passed since I received the text from the unknown number but I was unable to figure out who sent it. I also had no idea if the person was bluffing or not but I decided to stop thinking about it. The person still hadn’t contacted me, so I was guessing that it was probably a mistake or something. I shoved my thoughts away and focused on the road. We were on our way to the airport. The time to visit Maya had finally come. I was excited to see Maya’s baby girl and the kids felt the same too. They were also excited to visit California again. As usual, the kids drifted off to sleep as soon as the plane took off. I tried to keep myself entertained by watching movies and reading books, but soon enough, I drifted off to sleep. “Mama, wake up. We’re about to land.” Rowan gently tapped me and my eyes fluttered open. I had slept for so long and didn’t realize we had arrived in California. A few minutes later, we were out of the plane and were on our way to our ride

Alexander Burke ~•~Whenever I pull up at the driveway in my office, I always have a sense of accomplishment. Starting my company from scratch wasn’t going to be easy but I knew that no matter what happened, I was going to pull it off. However, I wasn’t expecting to accomplish something as great as this in just the space of one year. It was as though I became even more successful after cutting all ties with my father’s business. The first few months were rocky and I almost gave up. Sometimes I wondered if walking away from the security of my father’s company was the right decision. But every time I thought of giving up, I remembered why I had started in the first place. Arthur and Caroline were there to motivate me through it all. Even Olivia, despite the strain between us, had offered words of encouragement when I needed them the most. Another thing that kept me going was to show my father that I could be successful without his help or influence. Whenever I visited him in jail

Alexander Burke ~•~I went over to Arthur’s office because I needed some advice. I hadn’t told anybody about what was going on and I needed to hear his opinion, so I would know what to do. Arthur’s office space was just a few steps away from mine. After signing off on some production deals, I locked my office and went to Arthur’s. “The door is unlocked, come in,” Arthur said as I knocked multiple times on his door. As I opened the door and walked inside, Arthur continued. “I didn’t know you were here already.” He gestured for me to sit across him. “I need advice on something.” I began as I settled down on the chair. Before I could say anything else, Arthur leaned back into his chair and crossed his arms. “If it’s about you finding someone new, I don’t think you should think about Olivia again. She has moved on and you need to do the same. Stop moping around and waiting for her relationship to crumble so you can swoop in.” I clutched my heart in mock shock. Was that what he real

Olivia ~•~As soon as we landed in New York, we went straight to Alexander’s house. He sent one of his drivers to pick us up from the airport. Even when I protested against going to his house first, he persuaded me saying he had something important to talk to me about. I even promised him that I would just drop my luggage at home, and then shower before heading to his house. But Alexander didn’t agree. He wanted to see me as soon as I was back in New York. The twins also convinced me to go to his house because they missed their daddy. I knew it was Alexander who put them up to it, and I had no choice but to agree. After a short drive, we arrived at his house. The excitement on the kid's face was palpable as they jumped up on their father. I just stayed by the side and watched in admiration as they exchanged pleasantries. “Where is Jason?” Rowan asked, his eyes wide with excitement. “He’s inside his room.” As soon as those words came out of Alexander’s mouth, the twins dashed

Chapter 255Riley Burke ~•~I summoned every last ounce of strength in my body and dragged myself to the door.Even if he wanted to trap me, the least he could do was provide me with food and water, so I wouldn’t die of hunger and thirst. As I got close to the door, I banged on the door multiple times, yelling at the top of my voice for someone to open up. I spent about five minutes hitting the door but nobody answered the door. I didn’t give up though. I kept on hitting the door until I finally heard footsteps coming in the direction of the room. I moved back a bit as I waited in anticipation to see who would open the door. They twisted the door knob and slowly pushed the door open. It was the same man who had given me a glass of water the first time. “Please can I have something to eat and drink?” I pleaded, not caring about the fact that I had been kidnapped. My stomach rumbled whenever I realized that I had been there for two days without food. I needed to eat something a

Chapter 254Olivia ~•~After finding out that Riley’s car had been at the gas station for over two days, the detectives told us to hold on as they requested access to the CCTV from the first day. Alexander tried his best to comfort me but I couldn’t stop crying. Riley wouldn’t just dump her car at a random gas station. The situation was even worse than I had imagined. I couldn’t help but wonder how my baby was feeling. I couldn’t help but wonder where she was. I prayed silently that she was okay and we would find her soon. Amanda, Maya, Rowan, and Jason were blowing up my phone but I couldn’t bring myself to respond to any of them. I didn’t want to believe that my daughter was missing, so I didn’t want to have to tell them that she was actually missing. After what felt like an eternity, the detective came outside again. “Come in.” He gestured for us to come into his office with him. When we got inside, he showed us footage playing on his computer. My hands flew to my mouth as I

Chapter 253Riley Burke ~•~I started moving back slowly as he walked into the room. I never liked him. I never imagined I would even see him again. What did he want from me? Why did he take me? What did he plan on doing with me? I screamed as he came closer, a bloodcurdling scream. “Get away from me, you monster!” I yelled at the top of my voice as tears flowed down my face, as though it was a waterfall. “It’s nice to see you again. After so many years.” He said as his lips curled into a mischievous smile. “You’ve grown into a fine young woman. I mean, it was hard for me to recognize you at first.” “What do you want from me, Maxim?” I asked, trying to steady my voice. “Please, let me go!” I pleaded, my tone desperate. Yes, Maxim was the person who kidnapped me. I had forgotten about his existence and was shocked to see him come inside the room. Maxim was one of my mother’s boyfriends who turned out to be a fraud. Rowan and I never liked him. We also made it clear that

Chapter 252Olivia ~•~It had been over two days and we still hadn’t heard from Riley. The last time I spoke to her, she agreed to come back to the house. I canceled everything I had planned for that day just to wait for her, but she never showed up. I tried calling her numerous times but her number was unavailable. I made sure to call everyone I knew to ask if she was at their house, but they claimed that they hadn’t seen her. I didn’t even know how to feel. Did she ghost us again just to teach us a lesson or was she actually hurt? I was feeling restless the first day and decided to stay calm, hoping she would reach out later, but she didn’t. I was able to get some sleep the first time but on the second night, I couldn’t even close my eyes for up to five minutes. I was up thinking about my daughter. Her friends from school claimed they hadn’t heard from her either. Even Harper, her closest friend, had no idea where she was. She said Riley told her that she was on her way back

Chapter 251Riley Burke ~•~Everywhere was stark dark! The last thing I remember was when I stopped to get gas at the gas station. I honestly couldn’t remember anything else. My head was spinning and I couldn’t think properly. I had no idea where I was or how I even got there. My eyes were open but the room was dark and I couldn’t see anything. I tried to move my hands around but I couldn’t touch anything. It was as though I was in an empty room. The cold ground sent shivers through my spine. I had never felt that way before. I tried to stand up and make my way to an exit, but I couldn’t even get up. My legs were hurting. In fact, my entire body was hurting. What was actually going on? I searched my pockets to see if I could find my phone. I had kept it there after I called my brother to send me some gas money. My heart started racing as I couldn’t find my phone. I still had no idea where I was. I was extremely confused by what was happening. Maybe it was a dream. I deci

Chapter 250Riley Burke ~•~What was I thinking about lying to Amanda? Of course, my mother would call her to tell her about what was happening. I didn’t think anything through, I just did the first thing that came to my mind. I felt bad as I saw her disappointed look. I shouldn’t have lied to her. I didn’t even want to watch the movie anymore. I couldn’t look her in the face. I just wanted to sleep until the next day. Everyone thought I was missing but my father didn’t even bother calling me. I felt so terrible. Didn’t he love me anymore? I just wanted to cry myself to sleep. When I was done bathing, I dried my body with a clean towel and changed into the nightwear that Amanda had handed over to me earlier. I decided to sit for a while before heading to the living room. My mind raced with different thoughts as I sat down on the bed. Was there any possibility that my father would have an open mind about Mason? Was our argument ever going to end? Was Mason even worth all the

Chapter 249Olivia ~•~I was worried! I was so worried. It was getting dark and Riley wasn’t responding to my calls. I even asked her brothers to call her, but she didn’t pick up either. My stomach churned as different scenarios played in my head. What if something bad had happened to her? I even tried reaching out to roommates but none of them had seen her. I was starting to panic and I couldn’t even do anything else. “Alex, you see what you’ve caused, right? You pushed her away and now nobody has any idea where she has gone.” I said through gritted teeth as I met Alexander in his office. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. “I’m sure she’s safe. She just doesn’t want to answer because she is still upset.” He sounded like he was so sure. “If anything happens to my daughter, I’ll hold you responsible,” I replied before storming out of his office. If they didn’t have that stupid fight, I wouldn’t be in such a situation. I couldn’t even go to bed until I was sure she was oka

Riley Burke ~•~Mason stayed with me throughout the whole period while I tried to figure out what I was going to do. I called my father and asked him to give me access to my bank accounts and dorm room, but he refused. He wanted me to go back home, but I wasn’t going to do that. I was upset. After everything, Mason offered to take me to his house, but I couldn’t accept his offer. Instead, I decided to go over to my Auntie Amanda’s house. “Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?” Mason asked for the umpteenth time as he walked me to my car. “You shouldn’t be worried about my parents, they don’t really care if I go out with you anymore.” I rolled my eyes. I wished my father felt the same way. “It’s fine,” I assured him. “My parents would be more upset if they found out I followed you home. I just have to find a way to fix this situation.” Mason let out a defeated sigh. “Fine, but if you need money for anything, don’t hesitate to call me.” He continued. I nodded. “Sure.” I

Chapter 247Olivia ~•~For the longest time, I always thought Riley was the person who Alexander loved the most. He always listened to her and did whatever she wanted. Alexander treated Riley like she was a princess. He would pluck the moon for her if he could. Most times, I was jealous of their relationship. He was close to the boys, but not as close as he was to Riley. Maybe it was because she was his only daughter. I was surprised to see how he reacted to her this morning. I mean, no relationship was perfect. I had witnessed them disagreeing a few times, but I had never seen him so upset when it came to Riley. While I was upstairs, I could hear them arguing. But before I could get downstairs, Riley had already stormed out of the house. Alexander’s jaw was clenched and his eyes were blazing with anger. “Riley has grown wings and she’s really disrespectful.” He said through gritted teeth as I walked towards him. “It’s all my fault. I made her feel too comfortable and now sh
