My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 93
Olivia ~•~As I continued driving to my mum’s house, I couldn’t stop thinking about what Maya had said to me. Her words were hurtful but they were actually true. I started second-guessing my decision. Was it wrong to accept Alexander’s present? But he seemed like he was genuinely sorry. And yes, I knew the apology wasn’t going to erase all the hurtful things he did but it was a start. Not to defend Alexander but I also didn’t reach out to him for three weeks. Plus, he was the one who even reached out after all. I facepalmed myself with my right hand when I realized I was making excuses for him just to make everything seem okay. I decided to shove those thoughts away and focus on driving to my mum’s house. After about twenty minutes, I pulled up to the driveway. I stepped out of the car and walked to the front door. Before I could even place my hand on the doorbell, the front door swung open. My mum and the twins were standing there with curious looks on their faces. Rowan finall

Olivia ~•~“How was your session?” Alexander asked as I met him at the hospital reception. “I brought you some food.” He held up the white paper bag and handed it to me. I shrugged my shoulders and sat down beside him. “It was good, the doctor said it’s only one month and two weeks before the baby arrives.” I was a little bit scared and nervous. Alexander took my hand in his, giving me a gentle squeeze. “I’m so proud of you.” He said with a wide smile registered across his face. “You’re so strong and now you’re bringing another amazing soul into the world.” I smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over me. I couldn’t wait to meet my little boy. My hands instinctively rested on my stomach. My stomach was finally protruding and I could see all the regular signs of my last pregnancy. “You know, I couldn’t be there for Riley and Rowan’s birth, but I want to be present for the baby’s birth,” Alexander added, his tone more serious.I nodded my head. “Yeah, I want you to be pre

Alexander ~•~I had promised Olivia that I would spend the day with her because I was caught up with work in the morning when we already had plans to go to the hospital for her usual checkup. After I was done going over the paperwork I had to attend to that morning, I packed up and left the office. On my way out, I asked my assistant to hold all my calls because I wasn’t going to be available for the rest of the day. As I drove to meet Olivia at the hospital, I stopped by a restaurant to get some food for her. I wanted her to be well-fed before the arrival of her baby. I didn’t spend much time at the restaurant and soon enough, I arrived at the hospital. I made my way to the entrance and waited for Olivia at the reception. About ten minutes later, I saw her walking towards me. She looked so stressed and exhausted. “How was your session?” I asked when she got close to me. “I bought you some food.” I handed the white paper bag to Olivia.She shrugged, then sat down beside me. “It w

Olivia ~•~“Why do bad things always happen to me?” I whispered to myself as my body began shaking uncontrollably. I had just woken up and the nurses said I had passed out for over twenty-four hours. Tears streamed down my face and I made no effort to stop them. I couldn’t - there was too much pain, both emotionally and physically. I sobbed into my hands, my body trembling with each breath. How did I get into an accident? The car was brand new and I hadn’t even had it for a full month. But somehow, the brakes managed to fail. I was barely able to comprehend what had just happened. The car was meant to be a symbol of a new start. But now, it felt like everything was crumbling around me. “Why do bad things always happen to me?” I asked again, this time louder, my voice thick with anger, hurt, and frustration. The door opened slowly and a male figure appeared in the room. From the way he dressed, I could tell he was the doctor. He held a file and walked towards the bed where I lay

Alexander Burke ~•~I had a stressful day because I had a lot of work to do at the office. But that didn’t stop me from going to visit Olivia at her house. Ever since the accident and miscarriage happened, I always visited her. I mean, I didn’t miss a single day. I wanted her to be back on her feet in no time. I was restless seeing her lying on her bed every day. But the good thing was that she was getting better. And I was grateful for that. On my way to her house, I stopped by the restaurant to get takeouts for her and the kids. It was my regular routine whenever I visited her. At some point, I even contemplated asking her to move in with me, just so I could keep a close eye on her. But I knew Olivia wasn’t going to agree, so I decided to leave it. Soon enough, I arrived at her house. Her sister, Amanda, was the one who answered the door. Olivia’s family never left her alone, one of them was always present in the house with her. “Hey, how is she doing?” I asked Amanda as I wa

Olivia ~•~I felt a little bit relieved when I shared my thoughts with Alexander and he felt the same way. While we waited for the police officer to call back, my mind raced with different thoughts. What if it wasn’t actually an accident? So someone out there hated me to the point where they wanted to see me dead. What if they still had plans to complete their mission because I managed to survive? Fear gripped me on the inside but I managed to stay calm. I didn’t want to make any conclusions until I saw what really happened. A part of me wished it would turn out to be a random desperate stranger because if it was Ethan or anybody else in my vicinity, I was going to be devastated. My heart raced in anticipation as a call came through Alexander’s phone. I assumed it was the police officer and stayed quiet as he talked to the person. It was a brief call. After that, his phone pinged with a text. Alexander looked at me, his expression unreadable, before looking back at his phone.

Olivia ~•~Diana was in the police custody but I still hadn’t gone to see her. I always wanted to go but Alexander stopped me because I was still recovering. One month had passed since the arrest of her and her accomplice. I still didn’t understand why she did something like that to me, but it was finally the day to find out her reason. Alexander didn’t speak to her either. He wanted me to be present during the questioning. Plus, he wanted her to suffer in prison for a while before taking her to court. Emily had helped me take the kids to school earlier in the morning. I had spent my morning getting ready for the day. My health had gotten better and I could move around freely without having any pain. After dressing up in a comfortable black knee-length dress, I wore my footwear and made my way to the living room. Alexander had already texted to let me know that he was on his way. While I waited for him, I turned on the television to watch my favorite show. After about twenty min

Alexander ~•~I wasn’t thinking properly when I stormed out of the police station and zoomed off in my car. It didn’t dawn on me that I left Olivia there when I was her ride back home. I pressed my left thumb against the bridge of my nose as I tried to contain the anger that surged through me. When I was a little bit calm, I called one of my drivers and asked him to pick up Olivia from the station. After I hung up the call, I texted Olivia to let her know that the driver was picking her up. As I drove off, my mind wandered back to what Diana said. ‘It was…. It was Sandra. Sandra planned everything. She paid me a large sum of money to tamper with your brakes.’ My grip tightened on the steering wheel and I drove faster as those words replayed in my head. How could Sandra do something as evil as that? The thought sent a chill down my spine. Everything started making sense. On the day of the accident, she made sure Olivia and I were separated. Who knows if Jason actually had an asth

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
