THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING MY EX-WIFE CHAPTER 93
Geneveive Tessa RobertI scanned the room to see if I knew any of the long list of people Mom had invited to celebrate the grand opening of the hotel. I knew a few, but I wasn’t ready to say hello to them yet. I stopped one of the waiters and took a glass of champagne. I needed something to busy myself with until Jmaes came to introduce me to some of his friends. I scanned the room again and saw the man I had been hoping we wouldn’t see until the tech project was over. I steadied myself as our eyes met, and giving my hair a quick swish, I focused on my glass. I sniffed his perfume before he announced his presence. He was still using the brand I gifted him on our first anniversary. The sweet scent of Wave’s popular perfume collection.‘Good evening, Tessa. I didn’t know you were going to be here.’ Kyle said, smiling.I scoffed. He started with the wrong way to start a conversation. ‘It’s my family’s grand opening. Where do you expect me to be if I'm not here?’He replied, ‘I am sorry.

Kyle KingEverything that has a beginning will definitely have an end. I read the quote on a picture hanging on the wall of Tessa’s office. The walls were occupied with different quotes and pictures of her kids. The interior designs and furniture were amazing too. She had outdone herself in projecting her visions in her large office space. I was impressed by everything that she had done. I ran my fingers through the photos and recalled the video Xavier had sent the previous night. Kanebi’s church’s wedding, and the bride? A popular actress that I knew from college. In other words, Tessa had lied to me about her marriage. Also, after a long night of research, I found an interesting fact. Kanebi had been engaged to the actress for six years, and there were few pictures of them attending popular events. This confirmed my suspicions and also the fact that she had been lying to me about her marriage to Kanebi. Knowing Tessa, she was going to defend herself, but I had evidence. There was

Geneveive Tessa Robert‘You really gave him a showdown, girl. What are you planning on doing?’I was in a cafe sharing a plate of chocolate cake with Vera while telling her everything that happened with Kyle, including the threats and his promise to show up with evidence.’‘I am going to make things harder for him at D.K. Company. I own half of the company, and at the moment, the board of executives is on my side, while Kyle has just a few people on his side. I just need to make him lose some major deals, and maybe that will humble him. What do you think?’Vera dropped her fork, looking up and saying, ‘I am with you. It’s obvious you gave him a lot of sleepless nights after California, and I am certain he’s still not

Kyle King‘Go ahead and get all your evidence, but trust me, you will lose the battle.’ Tessa’s words repeated themselves in my head as I walked into Rpbert’s hotel. Throughout the week, I couldn’t stop thinking about our conversation and, most especially, how she spoke to me. I also noticed that she was avoided throughout the meetings with her dad and her mom. Even when I addressed her, she barely answered me. I guess I was still the unforgiven ex-husband.I strolled into the working space and joined my team. Xavier was supervising some of the team members, and I could read his cold expression. My team members were giving him a hard time. I contemplated joining him, but no, it would be better to let him be. This wasn’t his first t

Geneveive Tessa Robert‘Come on, Mum. I thought you said you were going to watch the kids this weekend. It’s not fair. You promised after failing last weekend. I can’t postpone the spa treatment. Vera worked hard for us to get the spot.’ I said, not hiding my displeasure.It was almost time for a spa session, and Mom had called at the dying minute to change her mind. According to her, there was a meeting with friends, and she couldn’t reschedule it because she was the one hosting it.‘I am sorry, dear. What about Estella and James? They can watch over the twins, right?’I sighed. ‘Estella travelled to Nashville three days ago to see her family, and James is out of town. I told you about their weekend plans when you asked the last time, and you agreed to watch over the kids. What do I do now?’‘Take them with you, then. It’s Latte&rsq

Kyle King‘Are you certain she said those things?’ I asked, not believing that Xavier had been right all along.Xavier nodded. ‘Yeah, she said all those things, but she didn’t affirm my logic, though. Even though I believe my logic is right’I replied, ‘It’s okay. I was able to pull some strings from the head hospital where Tessa delivered the babies. They affirm that my name was placed as the father of the kids, but the only way I can truly confirm they are mine is through a DNA test, and you know Tessa would never allow that.’‘No, there’s no need for a DNA test, Kyle. We already have all the confirmation we want, but the main thing now is getting Tessa to for

Geneveive Tessa RobertI was in the middle of writing a proposal letter to a friend of a prospective client when I remembered that today was when Vera was to meet Murphy and his parents at their family house in Bristol. I sent a quick text to her. Don’t be nervous, babe. Just be yourself and remember what I told you.She replied immediately, I am still regretting the outfit I wore, even though Murphy has whispered several times into my ears that I look lovely.I shook my head as I replied. Vera could exaggerate at times. According to the picture you sent, I think you look gorgeous, girl, and Murphy is right about you looking lovely.Alright, his parents are nice and receptive. I will tell you about everything once I return home!I dropped my phone, smiling widely. I had met Murphy’s parents. His father was Dad’s stepbro

Avaline KingI wish I hadn’t listened to Dahila, but now it was too late to start regretting it. Even though she meant well, I still felt that I should have stayed home and waited for Kyle to return home. He wasn’t pleased to see me; I could tell by his attitude towards him. It was strange how Kyle had transformed into a cold human within a few weeks. I remember pointing it out to him, and guess how that ended? He blamed me for everything. Fine, I know I messed up, but it's not new. CEO wives cheated on their husbands occasionally, and their marriages didn’t crash. Why was my own different?I slowly stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to cool my brain. An hour later, I was out, but I was still angry, frustrated, and lonely. Kyle had

Kyle KingFive months laterAfter sorting Avaline’s court case, I officially named Xavier the CFO of Planet O. The board accepted him with no grumblings, and I wasn’t surprised because he had been performing well even in my absence. I also took Mom to London, and we finally had a peaceful conversation with Tessa. Mom apologized for everything she did in the past and present. She also acknowledged the kids as her grandchildren. Tessa had been happy and didn’t hesitate to draw Mom into a hug.We scheduled a dinner with Tessa’s parents to officially declare my intentions. I had married Tessa the wrong way years ago, but now I wanted to do right by her. Her parents had been stiff during the dinner at first, but Tessa was a beautiful instrument in converting them to accommodating individuals. Mom also carried on the conversation by being herself, and before long, she and Mrs. Roberts were laughing like old pals. During a sleepover with kids at my place, Tessa had suggested we move in toge

Geneveive Tessa RobertI took the blanket from Kyle’s quiet housekeeper and covered the twins. I hadn’t planned on sleeping over,over, but the kids had fallen asleep after our third monopoly game. I kissed their cheeks and followed the housekeeper out. Another reason why I hadn't wanted to sleepover was Kyle.He had stirred my feelings with his call conversation on my way here. Lately, I had been struggling with admitting my feelings for him because I was afraid of envisioning a future with him. Would Kyle give me all the happiness I wanted in life? Would he wake up one morning and demand a divorce because I couldn’t give him more children? children? ThereThere was also Dahila. I didn’t want to think about what Vera had insinuated about her always having an ulterior motive for everything she did. I shrugged, entering the living room. I would also have to talk to Kyle about his mom and suggest a truce. If I was going to accept it into my life finally, Dahila and I needed to sort out

Kyle KingPlanning a perfect date was always a nervous activity for me because I had to ensure everything was perfect and tailored to my partner’s taste—in this case, my partner was Tessa, and she deserved to be treated perfectly well. I glanced at the table as the housekeeper helped arrange the dishes properly and set the tablecloths. I glanced at her work and nodded my approval. This was going to be a perfect date. I rushed into the shower, and a few minutes later, I was out. I picked a casual outfit—a Ralph Lauren shirt and black jeans. I ran my comb through my black curls. I mentally noted to check in with a barber across the street to reduce the fullness of my hair. I preferred it to be moderate and looking shabby or rough.After a quick view of my appearance, I strolled out of the room and settled in the living room, waiting for Tessa and the kids. I had wanted to take them out, but Tessa preferred a house date. She also felt it was right; the kids came. They were missing me e

Genevieve Tessa Robert‘My parents still believe I made a wrong mistake introducing Kyle to the kids. They don’t think he has truly changed, and I tried convincing them, but it was futile.’ I said, stretching my body on the mat beside the pool. Vera raised her head a bit. ‘You should know the Roberts by now. They never liked Kyle and will never like him. I think they are just tolerating him because of the kids.’I agreed. ‘If not for the kids, I am certain they would have scared him off and warned me to stay away from him.’‘Did you tell Kyle about it?’I nodded. ‘Yes, I have, and he wants us to meet with my parents. I declined. I don’t think it’s a wise decision yet. We’re still friends for now, and I am yet to decide if I want to go further with him.’She laughed, looking at me. ‘But you enjoyed his lips on yours, right? Honestly, I like the baby steps, but a man can’t wait forever, you know?’‘Kyle King would wait for me even if it takes years for me to decide. He’s obese and in l

Kyle KingIn the mirror, I stared at my eyes. I always thought they lacked the spark seen in other people’s eyes. But, after Tessa teased me about having the brightest eyes she had ever seen, the spark somehow emerged. I washed my face and returned to my bedroom. Today was the last day of King’s company headquarters construction. The project manager had been hard-working, and his team was perfect. They had executed everything according to the construction team plan, although there were some hiccups on the way, but we were able to scale through.I scanned through my outfits, and my eyes rested on a blue shirt with a love emoji at the side. Tessa had gotten it for me a few days before my decision to divorce her six years ago. I never had the courage to throw or wear it, but every morning after she left, I would stare at it like it was a reminder of what we had. My hands lingered on it as I remembered the kiss we had shared when she came to pick up the kids yesterday. She had been reluct

Genevieve Tessa RobertI knocked lightly at the door, opened slowly, and walked into my parent's large library. They had invited me for a meeting after James informed them about my night with Kyle. I rehearsed my speech and reminded myself why I had forgiven Kyle and revealed who he was with the kids.My dad was scrolling through his phone while Mom was laughing at something on her phone. They were seated on the long couch, ignoring my entrance until I settled near them.‘Good afternoon, Mom and Dad. I got your message. But firstly,’ I took Mom’s phone. ‘Aren’t you supposed to be on bedrest?’She folded her hands, pouting. ‘The doctor cleared me yesterday, and I decided to chill with my husband. Is that bad?’I handed the phone back. ‘Alright. It’s not bad, then. So, why did you guys request my presence here this afternoon?’Dad dropped his phone, sitting up. ‘Welcome, dear. I will go straight to the point. I called you because of Kyle. I thought we agreed that you wouldn’t be returni

Kyle KingI held Tessa’s hands as we stood outside her house and replayed our moment in her company. How she held my hand tightly and used her action to define our status. I smiled, looking at her. She was engrossed with a phone call. I decoded it was her father because of the way she kept laughing and calling him Pops. I watched her face, the tilt of her head, and the glow in her eyes. These were part of the reason why I reacted for her. She was mine. My Tessa.‘Are you done admiring my face?’ Tessa asked, smiling widely. ‘You know you take a picture and keep it, right?’I chuckled, releasing her hand. ‘You are irresistible, Tessa, and every time I see your face, I fall harder. You’re my obsession, and I am not afraid to admit it.’She blushed, shaking her head. ‘We’re still friends, right, Kyle?’I drew a breath, nodding. ‘Yes, we are, but that won’t stop me from admitting my feelings for you. I love you now and forever.’‘Okay, Kyle. Thank you. Can we meet the kids now?’I felt a b

Genevieve Tessa RobertI listened as Kyle told me everything that happened between him and Avaline. He also gave me updates on his case, and I wasn’t surprised when he said Avaline was an accomplice to the crime. She had all colours of suspicion written on her when we spoke in Nashville, or rather, when she forced me to listen to her ramblings. He was looking strangely at me. Did he say something that needed my response? ‘Did you say something, Kyle?’ I asked, not caring that I made him feel like I wasn’t listening to him.He shrugged. ‘I have been saying a lot of things, but it’s obvious that you aren’t listening to me. I am truly sorry for not showing up. Avaline just showed up suddenly, got me talking, and before I could figure out what was going on, I was gone.’I replied, taking his hands. ‘You didn’t return my calls. I was worried, and the kids were waiting for you. They refused to sleep after the party because they insisted on seeing you. Kyle. We were supposed to tell them a

Kyle KingI walked into her building, but the receptionist blandly told me she was busy with meetings. I dialled her number several times, but she wasn’t picking. I sent her numerous texts, pleading and informing her I was at the reception. She didn’t reply. I decided to wait until closing hours. She doesn't stay cooped up in her office all day. If she still kept to her schedule, I know by two p.m., she always drove over to her house to check up on the kids and Estella. I winked at the stiff security guards as I settled at the reception. They wouldn’t dare to disturb me because they knew my status. I scrolled through my phone as the early moment with Avaline replayed in my mind. I was going to start with her family. I will reduce them to dust and then ensure their family’s name becomes history. I sent a message to my Russian ethical hacker: Whenever I wanted to do dirty deals, I didn't want trace to my name. I used him. He knew how to walk into an encrypted bank account, drain them,
