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

Mason Craig ~•~I had tried calling Riley earlier when I saw her calls but she didn’t respond. Initially, I felt she was upset because she felt I was ignoring her, but I chose to believe that she was asleep. I was washing my face in the bathroom when I heard my phone ringing. I had been expecting Riley’s call, so I rushed outside to take my phone. As I saw Riley’s name flashing across the screen, I let out a relieved sigh. “Hey.” She greeted me with a low voice. I apologized for missing her call and told her about how I tried calling but she didn’t respond. Surprisingly, she was not upset and was okay with it. Before I could ask her about the reason she called, she started talking. She wasn’t happy with the fact that my father refused to debunk the rumors and wanted me to convince him to accept her father's terms. Apparently, that was the only way she would believe that I wasn’t part of my father’s schemes. The call was a brief one because she hung up as soon as she passed her m

Chapter 230Riley Burke ~•~We were talking about random stuff, and then out of the blue, she stared at me and asked. “I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a while. Have you met someone new? Are you seeing anybody?” “Emm… huh? Wha….” I stuttered as I tried to form a coherent sentence. I had no idea why I found it difficult to answer her question. It wasn’t like I ever kept my love life a secret from my mother, her question just caught me off guard. My mother was always the first to know whenever I got into a relationship or met someone new. But this time, her question felt like a trap. What if she knew about me and Mason and was just asking to see if I would tell the truth? But there was actually nothing going on between Mason and I. I mean. We hadn’t even gone out on a date. I wasn’t even sure I really liked him or wanted to date him. He just talked to me and sent me a gift basket. I let out a deep breath and cleared my throat. “I’m not seeing anybody,” I replied, my voice st

Riley Burke ~•~I called Mason’s phone severally but he didn’t answer. I was upset for a moment but I decided to calm down. I figured he would be busy with his family, due to everything that was happening. Or he could be asleep because the day was already dark. After tossing my phone on the bed, I decided to rest my head for a few minutes. But the next time I opened my eyes, I saw that it was morning. Sunlight streamed through the window, making me realize I hadn’t closed the curtains before I slept off the previous night. I blinked repeatedly as I tried adjusting to the brightness coming through the window. Letting out a loud yawn, I sat upright on the bed and reached out for my phone on the scattered sheets. As I picked up my phone, I glanced over the screen to see what time it was. But I realized I had gotten a lot of calls from Mason. I was deeply asleep and didn’t hear when the call came in. I contemplated returning the call but it was too early. I decided to wait for a l

Mason Craig~•~A few moments later, I heard a loud bang on my door, followed by my mother’s angry voice. “Mason Craig! Why did you choose to betray our family?” I had no idea how long I had been asleep for but I jerked back to reality after I heard those words come out from my mother’s mouth. I stood up from my bed immediately and walked to the door. My mother had a disappointed look on her face as the door swung open. “What are you talking about?” I asked, my brows etched in confusion. “So you decided to tell your little girlfriend about what we did? You decided to snitch and betray your family?” She questioned, her voice laced with disdain. My eyes were still thick with sleep and it took me a minute to process what she was talking about. “What do you mean? What girlfriend? I didn’t say anything to anybody.” I responded, my tone defensive. “Oh please!” She waved her hands violently in the air. “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Follow me downstairs, your fa

Riley Burke ~•~After I was done talking to Mason, I went to meet Rowan because he asked me to meet him after my class. We were meant to go back home together. He was waiting for me in the driveway. I settled down in the front seat of the car and fastened my seatbelt. As we drove back to the house, I contemplated telling Rowan about the situation with Mason. But I wasn’t sure if I should say anything. Rowan would be so upset and probably tell my parents about it. I didn’t know if I wanted anybody to know what I knew Mason personally. It was best if I kept it away from them for a while. After an exhausting drive, we arrived at the house. “Is Belle still pissed at you?” I asked Rowan as we both stepped out of the car.He shook his head. “Yes, I messed up big time and I’m not sure she’ll forgive me easily,” Rowan admitted, running his hands through his hair. My lips parted and I blinked. “What? How did you mess up?” My curiosity got the best of me and I couldn’t resist asking him

Mason Craig~•~After Riley left, I remained in the office for a few more minutes. I needed some time to think and clear my head. I was certain that Riley didn’t believe anything I said and I had no idea how to make her see that I was being completely honest with her. Even if she eventually comes around, things will still be weird between us because of my parent’s behavior. After meeting so many shallow people, I finally found someone worth starting something with again. But it was already crumbling before it could even start. I didn’t have any other classes, so I decided to head back home. I locked the office and made my way back to my car. My uncle was a professor at the university, so he gave me a spare key. He asked me to go there whenever I needed a break from the crowd. He was one of the reasons why my father allowed me to attend Columbia University. He wanted me to go to a different country for college, but I didn’t want to go far away. Most times, I do regret my choice. I

Riley Burke ~•~I was already pissed when I saw Mason walking into the class. But his stupid text only fueled my irritation more. He still had the guts to ask if he did something wrong. Whenever I was upset and couldn’t do anything about it, my legs automatically started shaking. Liam noticed and tried his best to calm me down.I hated the fact that I was about to crash out in public. At first, I didn’t want to respond to his text. But out of annoyance, I responded to him and then blocked his number afterward.I didn’t want him to contact me anymore.After what felt like an eternity, the class was finally over. At one point, I even wanted to walk out of the class, but Liam persuaded me to stay. As everyone left the class, I wanted to rush out before Mason could get the chance to speak to me, but he was faster than me. I knew I wanted to have a conversation with him to demand answers but I wasn’t interested anymore. My daddy was going to take care of everything. “What do you want

Mason Craig ~•~After thinking about what to do for a while, I decided to tell Riley about it. I could imagine how devastated she would be if she found out about it from someone else. I didn’t want her to think I was part of it in any way. I knew telling her was me betraying my parents, but I didn’t care. The truth was going to come out eventually. I didn’t want it to look like I was enabling their behavior. At first, I wanted to call Riley and talk to her about it over the phone, but since we had a class together later in the day, I decided to leave it. I would have a conversation with her after our class. A few hours later, it was time for me to leave for school. I was already running late, so I grabbed my keys and bag before rushing down to the car. While I was on my way to school, I couldn’t stop thinking about the damage my parents had caused. They were so hungry for power and success, it wasn’t healthy. Even if they were giving me the silent treatment, I was still determ

Riley Burke ~•~As I got to school, I contemplated going back to my dorm room or going to class. I wasn’t sure I was in the right head space to see Mason. My mind was spinning with different thoughts and I was laced with anger. I couldn’t believe someone would betray me like that. I felt so stupid and used. I didn’t even know what to say to him. As I stepped out of the car, I decided to call Harper first to ask if she was in the room. I didn’t want to go to meet in an empty room, it would just fuel my frustration more. Harper didn’t answer her phone. I was guessing that was in class and couldn’t take the call. Letting out a frustrated sigh, I decided to call Amelia instead. I let out a relieved sigh when Amelia answered on the first ring. “Hey, what’s up? Are you in class?” I asked with a hint of urgency in my voice. “No, I’m in the dorm room.” She replied. “What’s going on?”I didn’t want to talk on the phone. “You’ll see me soon.” I ended the call and made my way to the dorm
