My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 51
Olivia ~•~I opened the front door and asked him to leave, but he refused and closed it back. “I’m not going anywhere, Olivia.” He said firmly as he hovered around me. My heart began racing. “Alexander, please leave.” I tried to sound firm but my voice was barely above a whisper. Ethan was right, I couldn’t resist Alexander. I didn’t know how I got there. I was really mad at him earlier in the day but now he was making me weak in my knees. He lifted my chin and looked me into my eyes. “I’ve missed you, Olivia.” He said, his hot breath fanning my face. “You should relax, your heart is beating fast.” He cupped my cheeks and rubbed his over my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I tried to pull away but it was as though my legs were glued to the spot. “Alexander, please,” I whispered again, my voice trembling. “I know I messed up but I can’t lose you again.” He added, his eyes burning with intensity. “I’ll fight for you, Olivia.” He leaned closer, his lips brushing against mine.

Olivia~•~After Ethan hung up the call, I tried calling him several times but he wouldn’t respond. Just as I was about to drop my phone, I got a text from Amanda. [ Have you seen the news???] I narrowed my eyes in confusion. What was on the news and how was it my business? The next text that came was a link. I took a deep breath as I clicked on the link. My eyes widened in disbelief as I saw the content of the social media post. It was a picture of Alexander letting himself into my house. And the surprising fact was that it was a blog from New York who posted it. It wasn’t even in California. How did it even happen? Who took the picture? Why was my business everywhere? In a city that I didn’t even live in. It was so messed up. Ethan didn’t focus on social media, so I couldn’t help but wonder how he knew about it. Maybe someone showed it to him. But who could it be? My hands trembled as I tried to dial Alexander’s number. I wondered if he had seen the posts. I watched the phone

Olivia ~•~I was stunned! What the fuck was Ethan doing? The last time I checked, he was mad at me and needed space. He said he couldn’t do it anymore but now he was proposing to me. Ethan knelt on one knee and pulled out a small black box from his back pocket. “Olivia Keating, will you marry me?” He asked, giving me an anticipatory look. I was confused and didn’t know the right words to say. Ethan remained in the same position. I never thought of getting remarried. Plus, this definitely wasn’t the time to get married. I didn’t know what to do, so I just turned around and ran back to my office. Some of our coworkers who were present tried to stop me but I kept on running. Even if I had ever thought about getting married to Ethan, I couldn’t say yes to him after the encounter with Alexander the other day. The thought of spending the rest of my life with Ethan made me realize that I was still stuck on Alexander. I couldn’t lose him forever. When I got to my office, I slammed th

Ethan ~•~My eyes widened in disbelief when I got a text from an unknown number. [ You need to see this.] I sat upright on the bed as I saw a link the person sent. It was a blog post about Olivia and Alexander. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions because Alexander could have been at her house for the kids instead of her. But she promised me that she was going to stay away from him. I was still confused about why someone would send it to me. I was also curious to know who the person was. After some research, it turned out the unknown person was Sandra. Olivia’s former best friend. It looked like we had a common goal. To let Alexander and Olivia completely move on from each other. I didn’t like the fact that I had to compete with the father of her children. I knew I said I needed some space from her but I couldn’t let Alexander win. The thought of the both of them together made my stomach churn. I was certain Olivia still had a soft spot for Alexander but I wasn’t going to give

Ethan ~•~I should’ve expected that she would react that way. Proposing to her was a stupid idea. I didn’t even think it through. I just let my emotions control me. I forced a fake smile and turned to the workers who helped plan the proposal. “Thank you for helping.” I expressed my gratitude. After placing the ring back in my pocket, I walked out of the rooftop and to Olivia’s office. Her door was closed but I knew she was inside. “Please open up, Olivia.” I pleaded as I knocked multiple times with a reply. The desperation and frustration in my voice was evident. I heard muffled voices from inside the room, I could tell she was talking to someone inside. She was probably telling them about how crazy I was because I proposed out of the blues. For someone who had just been publicly embarrassed, I should’ve left the office for the day. But I didn’t. I kept on knocking on Olivia’s door. After a while, I heard her walking towards the door. But she still hesitated to open the door. “

Olivia ~•~“You’re fired, effective immediately!” Ethan said firmly, his eyes flashing with anger. Before I could say anything, he just walked out of the door and slammed it loudly. I stood there as uncontrollable tears streamed down my face. I shouldn’t have told him about Alexander and me. I had ruined everything. My indecisive nature cost me my job and my relationship. I didn’t blame Ethan. I would’ve acted the same way too. I messed up the first time and he gave me another chance. But I still blew it up again. I wanted to go after him but I didn’t want the other workers to see me in tears. I also didn’t want to cause a scene in the office. I walked back to my chair and collapsed into it. I even cried harder when I realized I was leaving the office. I had worked there for over five years and now I was being fired. I deserved it. After wiping off my tears with the back of my hand, I grabbed a box and started packing my stuff. My heart ached as I remembered all the memories I

Olivia ~•~I never imagined I’d be in this situation, but life clearly had other plans. After five months of struggling to get back on my feet in California, I realized there was nothing left there for me anymore.I tried my best to get my life on track. I tried to find a new job but Ethan made it his life mission to sabotage everything for me. Even when Alexander offered to help, I declined his offer. I didn’t want to be indebted to him. Things were so bad that I started taking shifts as a waitress at a restaurant close to my house just to make ends meet. But when Alexander found out about my waitress job, he occasionally sent money to my account against my will. He claimed he couldn’t watch the mother of the kids stress herself when he had a lot of money lying around. At first, I tried to return the money because I didn’t want anything from him. But when I saw how it helped, I just let him do what he wanted to do. Whenever I spoke to Amanda, she always advised me to leave Calif

Olivia ~•~"Olivia Keating Spotted at Airport with Kids - Is She Back to Claim Her Throne from Sandra?" I rolled my eyes and tossed my phone onto the bed, annoyed by the news headline.I had only been in New York for about twenty-four hours and they were already talking about me on the blogs. I couldn’t help but wonder what other rumors and dramas awaited me. I was about to rest my head and drift off to sleep when my phone started ringing. I groaned inwardly and stretched my hand to retrieve it from the other side of the bed. Alexander’s name was flashing on the screen. “What do you want?” I demanded with a slightly groggy voice as I answered the phone. “Did I wake you up?” Alexander’s tone was apologetic. “I just called to tell you that the apartment is ready and you can move in tomorrow.” When we first arrived, Alexander wanted us to stay at his house. But I was strongly against it. I didn’t want to stay under the same roof with him. I had enough money to rent an apartment. Ho

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
