My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 28
Olivia ~•~ I enjoyed watching Alexander’s reaction as I pretended like it was my first time meeting him. “Isn’t she Olivia Keating?” He asked, looking down at Ethan. “Can we start the meeting?” I demanded before Ethan could respond. “It’s getting late and we have a busy schedule.” “Sir.” Ethan gestured to the empty seat beside Arthur. “Can you please have a seat?” He added and Alexander settled down. As the meeting started, I could tell Alexander and Arthur were really restless. Alexander tried his best to avoid eye contact with me, even though my eyes were fixed on him. It was a brief meeting since everyone was awkward. “We’ll send you the final draft to go over once it’s ready. And after that, some of our skilled team members will handle the event.” Ethan said and extended his hand to Alexander for a warm handshake. When we were done, Alexander asked if he could speak with me outside for a moment. I was hesitant at first but the curious part of me wanted to hear what he had

Olivia ~•~“Mama, who was that man from yesterday? The one you were arguing with?” Those were the first words that came out of Riley’s mouth when she woke up in the morning. I was caught off-guard. I had no idea she was so observant. How could I tell her that he was her father?Whenever they brought up questions concerning their father, I always changed the topic to distract them because I didn’t know if it was the right time to tell them that their father didn’t know about their existence. I thought hard and smacked my lips before responding. “Riley baby.” I reached out to her hands and took them in mine. “That was mama’s business partner.” Her eyes locked into mine and she questioned further. “So what were you arguing about?” I let out a dry chuckle. “It was nothing serious, we just disagreed on how the event would be done.” I lied. “What do you want for breakfast?” I asked, trying to change the subject. “I’ll have pancakes.” Rowan, who had been asleep earlier, finally spoke.

Olivia ~•~A few weeks had passed since I returned from the trip to New York. Alexander couldn’t stop blowing up my phone after I refused to meet up with him the day we were meant to leave for California. Ethan had pleaded with me but I didn’t listen because I couldn’t listen to Alexander’s excuses or justifications for his betrayal. I was determined to move on from him and I was going to keep to my words. The kids, on the other hand, couldn’t stop talking about New York and their cousin. However, I made them understand that they had to wait until the holiday before they could see him again. Since my cover about where I had moved to was already blown, I didn’t have a problem visiting New York again. The last time I stalked Sandra on social media was when she posted the news of her baby. Ever since then, I blocked her everywhere because I didn’t want to be reminded of her betrayal. But I didn’t know why I decided to check again, I tried to stop myself from doing it but my curiosi

Olivia ~•~The next day when I went to work, I asked Ethan if I could go with him to New York for the deal. He was confused at first because I declined his offer the previous day, but when I explained the reason to him, he understood and agreed with me. Throughout the day, I couldn’t focus on anything. I kept on thinking about my life and how I spent the years arguing with my parents. I blamed myself for his death even if he died in a car accident. Maybe if I hadn’t left, things would have turned out differently. “You didn’t have to come to work today, you could’ve just called me.” Ethan’s soft voice echoed, interrupting my thoughts. I jerked back to reality and ran my hands through my head. “I couldn’t be at home alone, I needed a distraction.” I didn’t know how to deal with grief and I couldn’t be alone because I was just going to think about it continuously and cry my eyes out. The previous night, I couldn’t sleep and stayed up crying. Even during dinner, my kids noticed some

Olivia ~•~When I pulled up to my parent’s house, I was certain it was Alexander’s car that was parked in the garage. What was he doing there? And what business did he have with my family? I took a deep breath to calm myself before walking through the front door with Ethan by my side. I wasn’t surprised when I saw Alexander sitting on the couch in the living room. It had been so many years and the house still looked the same. My lips curled into a small smile when I heard my mother's voice coming from the kitchen. I pretended like Alexander wasn’t even present and walked to meet my mother. I was grateful she was alive, and even if we didn’t agree on many things, I was going to be nicer to her. “Olivia, come here!” My mum exclaimed with a wide smile and open arms. That was the happiest my mum had ever been to see me. I fell into her open arms and her arms wrapped around me in a tight squeeze. “I’m so happy to see you,” I confessed and she hugged me tighter. After a few seconds,

Olivia ~•~After multiple knocks, my mother finally opened the door. I was fuming with anger and I didn’t want to say anything disrespectful, so I just walked past her and went straight to the living room. Ethan stood up and reached for me as he saw me coming. “What happened there?” He asked with a worried expression registered on his face. I needed some fresh air, so I walked outside and he trailed behind me. My father just died and instead of them to focus on his funeral, they were trying to rekindle a love that was already long gone. “Are you okay?” Ethan asked as we sat down outside. I shook my head, fighting back the tears. “I’m not, I don’t even want to talk about it. My mum and Alexander are unbelievable. Maybe coming here was a mistake.” I sniffled, struggling to contain my emotions. Ethan didn’t say anything else, he just pulled me closer and I leaned into his body. I decided not to go back inside the house until Amanda and David arrived. While we were outside, I call

Alexander ~•~I’d been searching for Olivia for what felt like an eternity. I’d used my connections, money, and influence but I still couldn’t track her down. But finally, after all those years, we stumbled upon each other again. Even if I was surprised, I was the happiest person that day. I couldn’t stop thinking about her and wasn’t about to let her go again.I was determined to win her back, especially now that I knew we had kids together. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have given up on searching for her.This time, I was going to fight for her and reunite our family. Letting her go the first time was the biggest mistake I had made in my whole lifetime. When Olivia’s mother informed me about Olivia’s coming, I cleared my whole schedule because I wanted to see her. I even arrived at the house before her. My efforts to get her to talk to me failed, but I wasn’t going to give up just yet. I didn’t know what the relationship between her and her partner was, but I wasn’t going t

Olivia ~•~“Let’s go back inside and make arrangements for Dad’s funeral. That’s what we are here for.” I realized I needed to take control of the situation. I didn’t want to let my emotions get to me anymore. Amanda nodded in agreement and we both made our way back to the front door. As we walked into the house, Sandra was coming outside. She avoided eye contact as she walked past us but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to call her out for what she did in person. I grabbed her by the hand and stopped her from walking further. “How could you even stoop so low?” I asked, my voice dripping with disdain. Amanda wanted to stop me but I ignored her and focused on Sandra. Sandra was at a loss for words. “After getting pregnant by him, you still dared to show your face here,” I asked with a humorless chuckle. “Don’t you even have a little bit of self-respect?” “The both of you were divorced and you moved out to God knows where. So don’t blame me for going for what made me happy.” There

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 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 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 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

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

Mason Craig ~•~My father was really pissed when Big Mama called him and asked to do want the Burke’s company wanted. He was even more pissed because he knew we were the ones behind it but he couldn’t do anything about it. After he agreed to make an apology post, he called all his staff for a meeting. My father didn’t want to completely taint his image, so he asked one of the staff to take the fall. One of them agreed because they were going to be compensated. They wanted to lie to the public that my father didn’t have anything to do with it and was just realizing the person behind it. I felt bad for the people who volunteered themselves, but some people had financial problems and would do anything to make some extra cash. It was a good thing he didn’t force anybody. The meeting ended and they recorded an apology post and also debunked the rumors. But they had to send it to Riley’s father for approval before releasing it online. A part of me was relieved because everything was

Riley Burke ~•~I felt better after Amelia and Harper called to check up on me. It was the weekend and we weren’t having classes, so they had gone back to their respective houses.Our group conference calls always lightened up my mood. After we rounded up the call, I made my way downstairs for dinner. Caroline volunteered to make dinner. For someone who barely cooks, she was a great chef and I was excited to try her food. As I stepped into the dining room, the aroma of roasted chicken filled the air and my stomach growled in response to the scent. I was hungry and couldn’t wait to eat. Everyone was already sitting on the table. “You’re finally done with your phone call?” Rowan asked as I sat beside him. A few minutes earlier, Rowan came to tell me that dinner was ready. I told him to hold on because I was on a call with my girls. I nodded. “Of course, I am.” My family and I engaged in a light conversation as we ate our meal. Every bite I took tasted heavenly and I couldn’t he
