My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 260
Riley Burke ~•~I had no idea what was happening but as I saw everyone fleeing away from the house, I decided to find a hiding spot too. For a moment, I thought help might have come but I could be wrong. What if it was a rival gang or something who had come to attack them? Last I remember, Maxim was part of the mafia. I couldn’t take any chances. I ran to the garage and stayed inside. I could hear footsteps, I could hear noises but I couldn’t dare look outside. I just slid down and hugged my knees tightly as I waited for the noise to be over. The sound of cars coming in and going out frightened me the most. At first, when the other man abandoned me and ran away, I wanted to run out of the house too. But I wasn’t sure I would be able to escape on my own from such a deserted area. When everything was over, I planned on going back inside the house to find a telephone or something. Maybe I could even find the keys to one of the cars and drive out of the house. I had been inside t

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

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 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

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

Olivia~•~As I finished getting ready for the party, I stared at my reflection in the mirror and a stunning woman stared back at me. My blonde hair was styled into a messy updo with some loose strands falling down my face. The long red gown Alex and I had carefully selected a few days ago hugged my curves in all the right places. My bright blue eyes sparkled like gold against the bold of the red gown. I looked confident and undeniably sexy. Even if everything was falling apart, the least I could do was to look stunning in public. Satisfied with my look, I wore my pair of gold stilettos and matched it with my gold bag. Alex had already told me we had thirty minutes to leave, so I went downstairs immediately after I was done with my makeup. We were going to the party together. “You look so beautiful.” He complimented me as I got into the back of the car. I didn’t respond and just managed a half-smile. I was getting divorced so there was no need for me to get flattered by his compli

Chapter 259Olivia ~•~Alexander didn’t hesitate, he started the car engine and reversed as fast as he could. But before he could even start driving, we saw that the black SUVs had already been blocked by a new set of policemen who were already on their way. “That’s strange,” Alexander muttered under his breath as he put the car to a stop. “I have no idea who those people are unless the other officers called for backup.” It was a good thing they came because they were able to stop the men. We watched from a distance as they brought them out of their cars and handcuffed them. Some of the other policemen we had followed earlier finally drove out of the gate and stopped where the black SUVs were blocked. I didn’t see any sign of Riley as they brought out the men from the SUV’s. “Alexander, turn around and drive to the house. What if they left her there?” Alexander responded with a nod and turned the car around. He increased the speed of the car as he drove into the compound. As he

Chapter 258Olivia ~•~“They’ve been able to track those men to an address, we’ll be on our way right now,” Alexander announced to me as he came outside to meet me. I wiped off my tears with the back of my hand because I couldn’t stop myself from crying earlier after he left me alone. “I’m coming with you,” I told him before he could even say I should go back home. I was patient enough to sit outside and wait while they were looking for her. But I couldn’t go back home. I needed to go with them to the location. Alexander’s face fell. “Olivia, we don’t know what we are up against. What if the place is really dangerous?” He asked. “It took me a lot to even convince the detectives to let me go with them.” Everything Alexander said to me fell on deaf ears. I was determined to go and nothing any of them could say would make me change my mind. If Riley was in danger, I didn’t mind being in danger too. Alexander let out a defeated sigh when he realized that I wasn’t taking no for an

Chapter 257Mason Craig ~•~I had been restless ever since I realized that Riley was missing. At first, I thought she finally gave in to her father’s wishes and ghosted me. I tried reaching out to her. I even tried reaching out to her roommates but I couldn’t get a hold of her. I was so desperate that I even had to reach out to her friend from class, Liam. I wasn’t really his biggest fan. I was always jealous that he got to be with her every time in class. When Liam told me he had no idea where she was or hadn’t heard from her, I thought he was just saying it to make me back off. But little did I know he was actually telling the truth. It was only when Riley’s family reached out to me that I knew something was wrong. Then earlier in the morning, the news of her disappearance was all over the internet. I felt so terrible and I couldn’t help but wonder where she had wandered off to. I blamed myself for everything that was happening in her life. It was my fault. I was the reason

Chapter 256Riley Burke ~•~As I lay in the bathtub, my mind wandered back to Mason.We still didn’t speak after he walked me to my car a few days ago. I couldn’t help but wonder if he had realized that I was missing. Was he also trying to look for me or has he completely forgotten about me? Everything happened so fast and it was baffling how I ended up being kidnapped. It felt so surreal. I couldn’t live like this anymore, I needed to find a way to escape. I had a life and it wasn’t fair for someone to just trap me because he was in his feelings about a breakup that happened so many years ago. I was curious to see how my mother would react when she found out that it was Maxim who took me. My father would be so upset too. He didn’t like Maxim either. But I still wasn’t sure if my father would even want to talk to me anymore. I disrespected him and caused so much trouble for them. Maybe if I had listened and agreed to stay away from Mason, I wouldn’t have been in this mess I w

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
