My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 238
Chapter 238Riley Burke ~•~It took me a minute to realize what was going on. How did my father know about my whereabouts? When Mason noticed the uncomfortable shift in my demeanor, he whispered to me. “Is everything okay?” He asked with a hint of concern in his voice. I shook my head before replying to my father. “Come out where?” I wanted to be certain that he knew exactly where I was. “Come out from the restaurant.” His voice was low but menacing. My heart flew out of my chest and I ended the call. I was even ashamed to tell Mason about what was happening but I had no choice. I knew if I ignored my father and stayed inside with Mason, he would walk inside and cause a scene. “I’m sorry, I have to go.” I grabbed my purse from the table and stood up from the chair. Mason had a puzzled expression registered on his face. “Why? Please don’t go.” He pleaded. “Who was that on the phone?” “My father,” I replied, my voice barely audible. “He’s here to pick me up, I have no idea ho

Chapter 239Mason Craig ~•~I knew asking Riley to be my girlfriend was a long shot, but I didn’t mind. I knew there was a high probability of being rejected, but I wanted to take my chances. I was tired of living in torture every day. I wanted her to be MY girl. I didn’t care about what my parents had to say anymore. I was ready to stand up for myself and prevent them from controlling my life. I could only hope that Riley wanted the same thing too. But I was wrong. Riley stood up and left the exact minute her father called her outside. How did he even know she was at that restaurant? I was stunned. I couldn’t even say anything because I was at a loss for words. I didn’t even try convincing her to stay back for some minutes. I literally just asked her to be my girlfriend. She didn’t give a response. Rather, she stood up and left in the middle of our conversation. In the middle of our date. It was embarrassing. I could only imagine what the staff at the restaurant would be sa

Chapter 240Riley Burke ~•~“Rowan, you did what?” My mother asked in shock. I knew she would be so upset because she always taught Rowan to treat girls with respect. My mother always sang it like a song to him. Rowan’s eyes were flashing with anger as he looked at me. “So you’ve started blabbing your mouth, right? Why do you want to make this about me? You’re the one who went out with someone who tried to destroy our family.” He tried to shift the focus back to me but it didn’t work.“Is Belle aware of this?” My mother asked, her eyes darting between me and Rowan. “Rowan Burke! You actually cheated on her.” She added, her voice laced with disbelief. Rowan nodded. “Yes, and she’s okay with it.” I couldn’t hold back a scoff. “Why won’t she be okay with it when you’ve bribed her with a new car?” I replied before turning to my father. “Why did you even allow him to spend so much money on that girl?” My father, who had been silent, finally spoke. “Enough! This isn’t about Rowan. Th

Chapter 241Riley Burke ~•~The next day, I spent most of my day inside my room. I had classes but I didn’t want to go to school. I also didn’t want to leave my room because I figured my family was still angry at me. After saying those hurtful words to my father, I haven’t seen him since then. Guilt was eating me up and I wasn’t even ready to face him. I also wasn’t ready to face Rowan. It wasn’t right of me to put his business out there like that. I felt like a terrible person and I didn’t know if they even wanted to speak to me. Normally, if I hadn’t left my room throughout the day, everyone would come and check on me to see if I was okay. But this time, it was different. I didn’t even hear footsteps coming in the direction of my room. I hadn’t even eaten proper food because I didn’t want to go downstairs. I had to manage the snacks I had in my drawer. I didn’t even have any appetite to eat. The news of me and Mason’s date was everywhere on the Internet. Even the college blo

Chapter 242Riley Burke ~•~“I’m sorry I didn’t reach out to you throughout the day, I was occupied with some stuff.” Mason apologized as I answered the phone. It was already dark and we didn’t speak throughout the day. A part of me felt that he wasn’t being honest with me. He wasn’t busy with anything, he just wasn’t interested in speaking to me. Maybe he needed space. Or some time to think. “It’s okay.” I brushed off his concerns with a dismissal wave even if it wasn’t okay. I felt bad because he didn’t speak to me throughout the day when we clearly had a lot to talk about. “How are you doing? What did your parents say?” Mason asked with a hint of concern and curiosity in his voice. “I shouldn’t be going out with the enemy.” I held back a scoff as I told him. “Forget about me. I wanted to apologize for leaving you at the restaurant. I’m really sorry.” “I felt bad about it but I realized it wasn’t entirely your fault.” Mason’s words calmed my frazzled nerves. “At the end of th

Olivia~•~I was used to checking the news because of the kind of man I married, but for the past week, I’d been avoiding every news outlet. My name was trending and so was my husband’s. To outsiders, it was a good thing but they didn’t know exactly what was going on inside.Ever the perfect wife, I stayed downstairs, waiting for my husband to return as I tried my best to ignore the voices in my head, telling me that my marriage was crumbling.I wanted to save it but I didn’t know how. We both forgot about our anniversary which was a few days ago. Alex was trending because of an expensive necklace he bought at an auction. They all thought it was for me and were waiting to see it on my neck, but our anniversary had passed and he still hadn’t given it to me.It had to be for her.I hated that this was what we had turned into and most especially, I hated that I couldn’t do anything about it. I’d gone shopping earlier today and gotten some random gifts, hoping to salvage it, but I knew w

Olivia ~•~I blinked in confusion. “Why do you want to get divorced?” I asked but he didn’t respond. My eyes scanned through the papers and my pupils dilated in shock as I read the content. Alex had already signed his part and all that was left to finalize the divorce was my signature. I was confused because I wasn’t expecting to get a divorce anytime soon. Sure, our marriage wasn't every couple’s dream, but we got along pretty well. We tolerated each other. We were able to sleep next to each other at night.“What is the meaning of this, Alex?” I asked angrily but Alex still remained quiet.“Why are we getting a divorce? When did you get these papers?” “Today.” Came his short flaccid response. I narrowed my eyes in confusion. “It is because of her, right?” I sniffed, holding back the tears that were threatening to fall down but Alex scoffed. “You want a divorce because of her, right?” I added, my voice cracking slightly. He finally confirmed my suspicions. The necklace he got at

Olivia ~•~I paused for a moment and looked at him. Why was he asking me not to sign the papers anymore? Did he change his mind about moving on with the divorce? There was an awkward silence for a few moments and I looked at him in anticipation, waiting for an explanation. “Let’s wait until after the party tomorrow.” He said, breaking the uncomfortable silence. “We have to appear as a couple at the event.” I swallowed hard. I expected to hear something else. I expected him to say he had changed his mind about the divorce. “Okay,” I said without asking further questions. After that, I dropped the papers and the table and walked out of the room. Alex tried calling me back but I ignored him and walked into the kitchen. I couldn’t believe he wanted me to act like everything was okay. He wanted us to pretend in public. I poured myself a glass of water and took deep breaths to calm myself down. My mind kept on racing with different thoughts. So I was still a married woman but not for

Chapter 237Riley Burke ~•~As I prepared to leave, my friends escorted me to the sleek car Mason had sent to pick me up. Even Brittany joined in, beaming with enthusiasm. Their energy was infectious and I couldn’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation. Everyone’s excitement was palpable and it added to my own eagerness for the night ahead. My friends bid me farewell as I slipped into the luxurious car, feeling like a princess on her way to the ball. I couldn’t stop smiling as we drove out of the campus premises. I had no idea where Mason was taking me. I just knew that I was having dinner at a restaurant. He was already there, waiting for me to arrive. I was kind of nervous and shy to see him. I had no idea why I was feeling that way because it wasn’t like it was our first date. We had gone on several dates but it was nothing serious. This was the first time I was dressing up in a dinner gown and going out to meet him at a restaurant. After a short ride, the driver pulled up
My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 236
Chapter 236Riley Burke ~•~Earlier today, I wasn’t expecting to go out for dinner with Mason, so I had only a few hours to get ready. I needed to style my hair, shower, and do my makeup. Harper always helped me with styling my hair. It was a good thing she didn’t have any plans for the night because I couldn’t imagine going to the hair salon on such short notice. Harper and Amelia were super excited to help me get ready. With the way they behaved, one would think that Mason was paying them to root for him. I was happy at the thought of going out for dinner with him, but my happiness only lasted a few seconds whenever I realized we couldn’t be together. We didn’t know for sure if our parents would approve, but we were too scared to even tell them about it. I couldn’t even bring myself to tell Caroline about it. She knew a boy from my class liked me, but she had no idea he was part of the family who tried to ruin our company’s reputation. My parents weren’t still happy with thei

Chapter 235Mason Craig ~•~Even if Riley and I weren’t together, I still felt I had to do something nice for her on Valentine’s Day. I wanted to be polite, so I sent presents to her dorm room and planned a nice dinner for us afterward. I wanted it to be more romantic, so I decided to ask one of the best fashion designers I know to make a custom dress for Riley. The dress was meant to be delivered to her room by four but it was almost four and I couldn’t get a hold of the designer. Riley had texted me earlier to let me know she was excited about the dinner. She also mentioned that she was excited to see her dress. As I tried to contact the designer, I paced around the living room worried. I wasn’t getting any response and I was starting to freak out. If they disappointed me, it wasn’t going to be funny. It would mean that I’d end up disappointing Riley too. I didn’t want that to happen. Plus, I paid a lot of money to have it done. “Hey, are you okay?” I heard Rachael’s voice

Riley Burke ~•~ONE MONTH LATERThe irritation in my face was visible as I watched Rowan and Belle gush over each other. Rowan gifted Belle a decorated car filled with lots of presents as her Valentine’s present. I blamed my father for giving him access to his money. I couldn’t stop shaking my head because I discovered that Rowan had cheated on Belle. She knew about it but he was always showering her with gifts and she ended up accepting him back in her life. I always wondered why some people behaved that way. It was shameful to watch someone stay in a disrespectful relationship. Was it because she loved him deeply and was too scared to walk away or was it because of his money? Belle’s parents were also rich, so I couldn’t help but wonder what her reason was. Rowan was my ride back to school, but it seemed like they weren’t going to be done with their shenanigans anytime soon. I decided to go back inside the house to get my car keys. I couldn’t wait for my brother anymore. Plu
