My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 178
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

Olivia ~•~I didn’t try calling Maxim again after he deliberately ignored my call. Alexander drove me and the kids back home the following morning. “Don’t forget to call me if you need anything.” He said with a smile as I stepped out of the car. “You’ll be okay.” He added. “Thank you.” I forced a smile before helping the kids out of the back seat. The security guards at the gate helped with our luggage.I led the kids into the house and made my way to the room. As soon I settled on my bed, I saw Riley peeping into my room from the side of the door. “I can see you, Riley,” I said with a scoff and she walked inside the room. “What’s going on baby?” I asked when I saw the worried expression registered on her face. Riley hesitated for a while as she stared intently at me. I was certain that she was unsure if she should say what was bothering her or not. “Go on.” I beckoned her to speak with a gentle nudge on her shoulder.“Okay, I just wanted to ask if you were okay.” She said as s

Olivia ~•~Three months had passed since Maxim’s awful betrayal shattered my world. The initial shock had given way to a crippling grief and I spent most of my days being miserable. But as the weeks went by, I slowly began to pick up the pieces of my shattered heart. With each passing day, my life slowly became better and I made peace with what had happened. Maxim was locked up in prison before I could even get to deal with him. From what I heard, the feds had apprehended him because of his affiliation with the mafia. A part of me was happy about it but I still felt like I would have been more satisfied if I had been the one to press charges. Either way, I was glad that phase of my life was over and I was ready to forget that I ever met someone like Maxim. I had been focusing more on raising my kids and making my company better. Things had been going great even if some days turned out to be difficult. I was grateful for my life and my family. I also had great people around me wh

Alexander Burke ~•~For the past hour, I had been trying to calm Jason down. He wouldn’t stop crying and screaming. Jason had gotten fed up and was demanding to see mother right at that moment. I tried all the previous methods that I always used to distract him but all my efforts were wasted. Emily also tried her best to calm him down but he refused. I was exhausted and didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t tell him the truth about his mother. He was too young to know that she was in prison. I couldn’t let him live his life in pain. I sat down and watched him helplessly as he cried uncontrollably. “Jason, please calm down. Do you want ice cream? Do you want to sleep? You’ll see your mother tomorrow.” I repeated what I had been saying for the past couple of minutes. I had to say anything that would make him stop crying. But Jason wasn’t having it. He was hellbent on seeing his mother. I even tried distracting him with his favorite cartoon but he wasn’t fazed by it. Letting out a

Olivia ~•~The kids were super excited for their birthday party, so they didn’t even let me have any extra sleep in the morning. Riley was constantly reminding me that I hadn’t picked up their cakes. Even though I had assured her that one of my staff would pick it up and take it to the venue, she still didn’t stop bugging me about it. As I made breakfast in the kitchen, the kids were moping around the living room. Their excitement was palpable and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of calmness. Alexander had brought Jason over for a sleepover the previous night. Riley and Rowan were excited to have him around. Rowan couldn’t stop talking about how surprised he was when he woke up in the morning and saw Jason sleeping on his bed. When I was done making breakfast, I went to the dining to set the table. A few minutes later, I went over to the living room to call the kids. “Where is Jason’s mummy?” I froze as Rowan’s voice echoed through the living room. His question caught me off gu

Alexander Burke ~•~ After speaking to Olivia, I tossed my phone on the bed and made my way over to the bathroom. I wanted to have a quick shower before heading to the mall to grab some presents for the twins. I had been really busy and always procrastinating about going to the mall, so it eventually slipped my mind that I hadn’t gotten presents for them. I knew exactly what to get for them. I was also going to get Jason presents. I wanted to cheer him up, so he would be distracted for a while until I found the solution to his problem, About a few minutes later, I was done showering and I got dressed up. I grabbed my car keys and headed downstairs. But I made a quick stop at the dining room because I wanted to eat something before leaving the house. My stomach grumbled just as I laid my eyes on the platter of food on the table. I picked out a few of the meals and ate to my satisfaction. Soon enough, I was on my way to the mall. One of the staff accompanied me whil

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
