My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 173
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

Alexander Burke ~•~I was fully aware that Olivia wasn’t going to believe me if I told her the truth about Maxim by myself, but I didn’t have any choice but to do it. I couldn’t just sit and watch her being lied to again. I needed to do something about it. Earlier in the day, I had reached out to Tatiana Bolkov, Maxim’s wife. It wasn’t easy to track her down, but I managed to get her contact information through my private investigator. If anyone could convince Olivia of Maxim’s lies, it was Tatiana. Tatiana also deserved to know about her husband’s infidelity. As I finally got hold of her and spoke with her about the situation for a while, I gasped in disbelief when I realized that the wife was also aware of his actions. From the way she responded, I could tell she was enabling his behavior. Even when I convinced her to just help me talk to Olivia, she asked me to mind my business and never contact her again. I was a bit confused about why anybody would be okay with their h

Olivia ~•~Once I entered the kitchen, I gripped the counter, trying to steady my breathing. My head was spinning, my emotions turned between disbelief and a gnawing sense of doubt. Was Alexander actually telling the truth? Was Maxim really a fraud? No, Maxim was too sweet to be a fraud. He had been by my side for a while now and everything was perfect. There was no way he would lie to me about his wife. His wife was dead and Alexander had no idea what he was talking about. Maxim told me he loved me and wouldn’t do anything to hurt me. He told me I was his dream woman and the only woman in his life. There was no way in hell that Alexander was saying the truth. Alexander was just making everything up because he wanted the relationship to crumble. Alexander wanted me for himself, so he had to fabricate a lie to make it happen. My mind raced with different questions that I needed the answers to. Even as I tried to convince myself that Maxim wasn’t a fraud, a part of me was beginnin

Olivia ~•~I didn’t want to go back home and the kids also asked to spend the night at their father’s house, so Alexander asked Emily to prepare the guest room for me. I tried my best to be strong in front of the kids while we all ate dinner. I didn’t want them to have even the slightest idea of what was happening. There were still a lot of things I had to wrap my head around. I had been heartbroken before but this one was worse. No one had ever done something like this to me before. After dinner, I made my way over to the guest room while the kids went back to their room. I had been waiting for the right time to call Maxim. I knew there was no right time but I was stalling because I still had to prepare myself to have a conversation with him. If Alexander had contacted his wife and she knew about her husband’s behavior. There was a high chance that she must’ve already told him about their cover being blown. As I lay on the bed, I dialed his number and watched as it rang but he

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
