My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 190
Chapter 190Olivia ~•~The past four weeks had been hectic, but we finally navigated the darkest storm. Alexander’s mother’s funeral was behind us, a poignant ceremony held in California. Alexander tried to stop me from going there with him but I didn’t listen to him. I wanted to be there for him because I knew he needed me. The weight of his grief was crushing and I needed to be there for him. “Should I drop you off at Maya’s house?” Alexander’s gentle voice interrupted my thoughts and I snapped back to reality. We had only a day left in California and I wanted to see Maya before leaving. The days had been really busy for me, so I didn’t get any chance to see her earlier. I shook my head. “No, I can just book a ride.” I didn’t want to inconvenience Alexander in any way, so I politely declined his offer. Alexander’s brows knitted into a frown. “I am dropping you off at Maya’s house.” He rephrased his sentence, his voice firm. I was guessing he needed some sort of distraction,

Olivia ~•~As he spoke, something shifted between us. It was as if an unseen force drew me closer until our lips met in a soft, gentle kiss. I gasped in shock, my heart racing with surprise.But before I could pull away, Alexander took control, his hands cradling my face as he deepened the kiss. His lips moved passionately, sending shivers down my spine. My breathing hitched, and I felt like I was melting into his arms.It was something I had wanted for so long, and now that it was happening, I couldn't help but enjoy the moment. Alexander began unzipping my dress but he paused and looked at me. “Are you sure about this?” He asked, his breathing ragged. Without hesitation, I responded. “One hundred percent.” “Olivia, this is going to change …….” I placed my hands over his mouth and cut him off before he could continue speaking. “Just continue,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. With a curt nod, Alexander unzipped my dress and took my dress off. He continued kissing me and ca

Olivia ~•~When we arrived in New York the next morning, Alexander offered to drive me back home by himself. One of the drivers took Arthur and Caroline home in a different car. “So what does this mean?” He asked as he drove into the city. I blushed. I had taken time to think about it. To think about us. I didn’t mind trying one more time. Alexander had always been there. No matter what was going on. Even when I had gotten myself involved with other men, Alexander still stuck around. We are both single and nothing was stopping us from being together. “Whatever you want it to be, Alexander,” I whispered, tucking a strand of my hair at the back of my ear. I was still getting flashbacks of the night we just had. “Mhmmm,” Alexander replied and my face formed into a frown. “Only mhmm? That’s all you have to say?” I asked, raising my brows in annoyance. Alexander let out a soft chuckle. “Calm down, Olivia. I’m just kidding. We will talk about it later. Let’s focus on driving.” I

Alexander Burke ~•~“I think I’m going to propose to her.” Arthur’s shocked expression made my brows knit into a frown. “Why are you acting like I just said the dumbest thing ever?” I demanded, narrowing my eyes at him. “Don’t you think it’s too soon?” He asked and I shook my head. “I mean, you guys haven’t even had a proper conversation about everything.” “There’s no point in having a conversation. We can have a conversation after the wedding. We are grown and there’s no time to waste anymore.” I stood firm on my decision even if Arthur tried to talk me out of it. Arthur was silent for a while. “What if she doesn’t want to get married to you again?” He asked, his brows slightly raised. “Huh?” I brushed off his concerns with a dismissive wave. “You needed to see how she looked this morning, I can tell she’s in love. You don’t have to worry about that part.” I sounded so confident but a part of me still feared that it was just temporary. Everything was going fine and I had a f

Olivia ~•~I was about to drift off to sleep when my phone started running. I smiled as I saw Alexander’s name flashing across the screen. “Hey, what’s going on?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “I finally told Jason that his mother is in jail. Guess what his response was?” Alexander asked with a hint of urgency in his voice. Before I could even respond, he continued. “He already knows, Riley and Rowan told him about it but they asked him not to say anything.” “What?” I gasped in disbelief as I sat upright on the bed. “How did they find out about it? And when did they even tell him?” Letting out a deep sigh, Alexander added. “I have no idea, Olivia. I’m as shocked as you are.” He admitted. “But Jason seems to be okay with it. Maybe he doesn’t know it’s a bad thing.” “Are you going to have a real conversation about it with him?” “No, I’ll just wait until he’s older. Or maybe until he comes to me by himself.” “Okay, at least you’re not lying to him anymore,” I replied,

Olivia ~•~[ I had my driver deliver a package to your house. Don’t ask me what it is, you’ll see it when you get back home.] My heart melted as I read Alexander’s text. I couldn’t wait to be done for the day, so I’d go back home and see what the package was. My staff and I had an important party to plan, so I wanted to make sure everything was perfect before leaving for the day. After a few more hours, it was time for me to head back home. But first, I had to stop at the kid's school to pick them up. Riley and Rowan looked so exhausted as their teacher brought them to the car. “I can’t wait for the holiday to come.” Riley groaned as she settled down in the back seat. “Me too. I need a break from school activities.” Rowan added. I couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s too early for you guys to start complaining. What would you do when you eventually get to college?” I asked as I drove out of the school premises. “College would be better than this school,” Riley replied, scratching he

Olivia ~•~“Mhmm, a limousine?” I blinked in surprise as Alexander guided me toward the sleek vehicle parked in the driveway. It felt like I was a high school student being picked up by her date for prom. “Yes, I want today to be special for you.” He opened the door and I stepped into the limousine. He went in after me and handed me a bouquet of red roses. I was stunned but I decided to play it cool. As he sat beside me and closed the door, the driver started the car and drove out of the compound. “You look really beautiful, I’m not even mad at you for being late,” Alexander said, his eyes darting around me. I rolled my eyes as I tried to stop myself from blushing. “Thank you,” I responded with a soft chuckle. “Where are you taking me to?” I asked, changing the subject. “I’m taking you out for dinner,” Alexander replied casually, leaning back into the seat. “I know but dinner at where?” I asked, curious to know where exactly we were heading. “What restaurant are you taking me t

Olivia ~•~Alexander’s brows knitted into a frown. “What do you want to talk about?” I could see the disappointment in his eyes. “Don’t you want to be with me?” He asked, still kneeling on one leg. I wiped off my tears with the back of my hands. “I wasn’t expecting you to propose to me. Are you even sure you want to get married to me?” I asked, scared of repeating my past mistakes. Without hesitation, Alexander nodded his head. “Yes, of course. I’ve been waiting for this day ever since we crossed paths again. I was even patient enough to wait for you while you were with those other men.” I closed my eyes momentarily, taking a deep breath. I extended my hands to Alexander. I didn’t want to think about it anymore. It only made sense if we got married again. I wanted it for myself but I also wanted to make sure he was certain about his decision. Alexander was a good man and walking away from him the second time would be one of the greatest mistakes I would ever make in my life. Whe

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
