The Billionaire’s Regret: Chasing His Ex wife Chapter 32.
Amelia The sound of the door closing made me jerk, as I took my seat. My heart was still beating very fast from the encounter I just had with Nina. That hag dared to slap me. I don’t know where the guts to confront her came from but I was more vexed to know that she still had the effrontery to tease me like I was still a part of that stark family. I was vicious. What rights did that idiot think she had over me? Well, do I blame her? I blame the love-deprived man I married who was too starved of love to share with me. By the way, why was she shocked that I had divorced him and moved on? Didn’t that nincompoop of a husband not inform that austere family of his? Okay, I didn’t just insult my husband. My ex-husband. I think I need water. “Can I have a glass of water?” I suddenly asked, breaking the silence in the sitting room as they all watched me like a hawk. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this soft treatment I keep getting from these people who barely knew me but welcomed and

Eric I had ensured she was fast asleep before moving to my room. Aunt Bailey, after ensuring all was well, retired to her house. I stepped out of her room and headed to my study room. I was on my way home from the office after meeting with guests I had regarding the contract. They had canceled on it believing I cheated them and had come to query me on that. I do not blame them. These Mallory do have some guts. I’d have to get them some other way. But first I needed to clear my head. Thomas told me aunt Bailey had gone out with Amelia to go shopping. I don’t know but it just didn’t sit right with me. But then, Amelia did need to step out of the confines of that house. Not just for her own well-being, but the baby's. As I headed home, aunt Bailey called to inform me to head towards Emerald Mall as there was an emergency. I got worried and I asked her what it was. I had expected serious crises apparently regarding Amelia. Only that I didn’t expect to hear her bumping into her sister i

Cassie I walked through the automated doors of the mall, walking towards the spa section of the mall. Suddenly, I heard someone scream my name and I turned around in shock. Involuntarily, I rolled my eyes as I watched her walk to meet me. I didn’t know how much I needed to put up with that family for the sake of this independence I so much seek. And yet, the stupid Lachlan is more focused on finding that loser of a wife and the bastard she’s carrying in her womb, than me. I didn’t know how long I’d need to put up with this but I knew it would be worth it in the end. Finally she met up with me and I had to fake a smile as we greeted each other. I don’t even know if this feeling was mutual. But I didn’t care. I was going to be a part of their family, and that’s what mattered most. “Guess who I bumped into today.” She began in her squeaky voice. Such a gossiper. I wasn’t interested in knowing what gossip she had brought this time. But once again, I needed to put on my acting skills and

Cassie It still didn’t make any sense. Just when I was finally close to getting my desired dream man, that loser suddenly reappears? How? I had been racking my brain for answers all through my spa session. And even while shopping, I kept racking my brain, trying to come up with anything to do, anything at all. Still, I had no answers. I didn’t know how else to stop Lachlan from finding her. To turn his heart from that bastard in her belly. And fix his entire attention on me alone. Lachlan had become more stubborn ever since the bastard left and he discovered she was pregnant. It had been difficult penetrating him and I didn’t think he’d listen to me if I told him that child wasn’t his. I needed more proof if I needed him to believe that. And that had been what kept my brain thinking, figuring, but still clueless. But you still got to try, Cassie. I needed to find the new guy she was with. But of course, Nina couldn’t be useful in that regard. Gosh! I felt like I was losing my min

Christopher I woke up to a very good day. The last night with Thalia was beyond fun. I didn’t believe I’d have that much fun with someone much below my standards, but well, I guess it was different when it involved women. Do I really blame myself? I was just a man. Preparing for work was beautiful too, as I relieved the memories of last night. It was just a small picnic in a reserved space. But the fun we had couldn’t be compared. From there, we had gotten so lost in each other, and we headed for a hotel close by and fucked all through the night. It was all shades of pleasure. Certainly, a good night produces a good day. The peasants I had as staff that never ceased to annoy me were still there, infuriating me as always, like they were paid to do that. Maybe it was part of the job agreement they signed, and I just didn’t know. But none of them got to me as I kept revelling in the pleasures of the previous day. I didn’t know why this seemed different. This wasn’t my first time meet
The Billionaire’s Regret: Chasing His Ex wife Chapter 37
Lachlan I fell on my bed feeling utterly exhausted. A few minutes ago, I had just finished a heated argument with Cassandra over Amelia’s baby. She had stormed out of the house in anger because I didn’t agree with her. Despite how logical her conclusion was, I couldn’t just agree with it. It didn’t make sense to me, and it never could. Or maybe it did, but I wasn’t willing to admit it. But as I lay on the bed, my eyes fixed on the gleaming, luxurious chandeliers that decorated the ceiling, I began to ponder her arguments.“Think about it, Lach. She suddenly leaves, gathering the guts to divorce you after all these years. After three fucking years, Lachlan!”“Just shut up already, Cassie." Probably it wasn’t intentional, which I very much doubted, but I always felt insulted when I was reminded that bitch divorced me. It was supposed to be the other way around. “I won’t lach. She suddenly disappears before you even realise it. And when she does, we discover she’s pregnant, and we beg

Christopher I still couldn’t believe it. I had just rounded off a discussion with Nina on the phone. I had to call her to confirm if this wasn’t one of her tricks into forcing Lachlan to cough out some money for her lavishness. But after hearing her detailed story of her meeting with Amelia, I had no choice but to believe it. Still, I found it difficult to grasp. I understood why Lachlan hid this. It was a big blow to his ego. And Lachlan would rather die than watch his ego being bruised without avenging. I was very sure he was on the lookout for her. Not because he cared about her. But he just wouldn't want it to be heard that she divorced him. That the loser we all detested and disdained, believing was a gold digger, which I knew to be very false, actually dumped him.I laughed so hard as the realisation dawned on me. The Almighty Lachlan gets dumped by his gold-digging wife and runs away with his child. What a sweet headline. For the first time, someone put that idiot in his plac

Christopher I laid on the bed with Cassie’s head on my chest as we both lay naked under the duvet. After a few rounds of hungrily feasting on each other’s bodies, our moans crying out the evidence of the pleasures of such moments, we thought it wise to rest for a while before Cassie takes her leave.Two reasons Cassie would offer to sleep with me without me inviting were this. Either she was in the mood for some loving and the feeling wasn’t mutual with “her man." Or she needed something badly, and “her man” wasn’t listening to her. And of course, I never refused such moments. I was only a man. And it’s not entirely my fault; self-control seemed to be what I packed the most. Especially when it comes to matters like this. Either reason worked for me. So long I would also enjoy myself.But I could tell this impromptu show up was definitely because she must have had an argument with Lachlan and needed some touch to clear her head. Of course, I knew she used me for pure sexual urge sati

Christopher.I immediately turned and was meant with nothing but barrels of oil on the floor. There was no sign of Lachlan. I sighed, slapping my forehead again before stepping into my car and driving off.Nina’s POVThe headline popped up on my phone while I was sipping my morning latte, and I nearly choked. Normally I ignore stuff like this and focus more on the fashion news, but this story was too hot not to catch my attention. “BREAKING NEWS: Attempted Home Invasion at Mallory Mansion!" My eyes widened as I scrolled through the article. Apparently, some idiots tried to break into Lachlan’s house last night. They were dead now, of course, because nothing ever happens to Golden Boy Lachlan without some cosmic justice raining down in his favor. Still, it was juicy. Men storming his house, Amelia being in the house, and now they’re six feet under? This was practically ripped from a soap opera. I could already hear my mother’s voice in my head: “Nina, stop meddling in your brothers’

LACHLANThe fluorescent lights of the police station buzzed faintly as I walked through the doors, my mind heavily held down by a mixture of dread and determination. Matthew trailed just behind me, his expression stoic but his eyes alert. The station gave a stench of stale coffee mixed with frustration, a combination I’d grown accustomed to during these past few chaotic days. The detective in charge of the case called in earlier today that there have been some findings about the whereabouts of the assailants. It was good news, yes, but there was more, and they couldn’t tell me over the phone, so I had to come down here myself. Detective Harper greeted me with a curt nod. “Mr. Mallory, thank you for coming in. Let’s talk in my office.”I followed her into a small, cluttered room. Matthew remained close. If anyone could recognise Amelia’s attackers, it was him. Which was why I had brought him along with me again. Harper motioned for us to sit, her lips pressed into a grim line.“We fou

CHRISI stumbled into my apartment, half-drunk, exhausted, and honestly just wanting to sleep off the buzz from the club. It was nearly 3 a.m., and I’d lost track of how many rounds I’d downed with all those hot women. All I could think about was peeling off these clothes, getting under a scalding shower, and letting the water wash off the night.As I turned on the shower, the bathroom mirror fogged up, and I closed my eyes, letting the water pour over my blonde hair. But as soon as I stepped out and grabbed a towel, my phone vibrated on the counter, lighting up the dim room. Cassandra.I groaned, but something in the back of my mind told me to pick up. She wouldn’t call at this hour without a reason. So I dried off quickly, yanked on some pants, and slid the green icon.“Cassandra, I was wondering when I’d hear from you again.”I heard her take in a shaky breath. “Chris… I need your help.”I frowned, and my voice softened with a hint of sympathy. “Rough day, I take it?”“You could sa

AMELIA I woke up slowly, my mind drifting through a thick haze, like I was trying to wade through fog. For a moment, everything was blurry, and a tightness settled in my chest. Where was I? Was I still at the hospital?Then I felt the warmth of a hand over mine, firm but gentle, and everything came rushing back. Blinking, I looked up to see Lachlan sitting beside me, his face tense but softening as he noticed I was awake. The sight of him washed away the last traces of fear, and I let out a breath I hadn’t realised I was holding.“Lachlan…” My voice was barely a whisper, but his expression shifted, relief flooding his eyes.“I’m right here, love,” he said, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze.I wanted to tell him everything I was feeling—how scared I’d been, how grateful I was that he was here now—but the words felt tangled in my throat. Before I could even try, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a white coat stepped in. He had a kind face, with just a hint of greying at the

CASSANDRAHow could they fail? I clenched my fists, nails digging into my palms as I paced the length of my bedroom, the sour taste of anger mixing with fear. They were supposed to be professionals, discreet. They were supposed to handle everything without it coming back to me. But those idiots let Amelia slip through their fingers. I should have known his chauffeur wasn't normal. Lachlan was onto us now. He was too smart; I’d known this. It was part of why I’d fallen for him in the first place.Well too late for regrets; thanks to their incompetence, I was backed into a corner, and the thought made my skin crawl. The image of him still being by that bitch’s side burnt in my mind, fuelling my jealousy. Why her? Why did he look at her the way he used to look at me? I could have given him so much more if he’d just let me back in.My phone buzzed, and I saw Eric’s name light up the screen. My pulse quickened, a mix of hope and apprehension, but before I could even speak, his voice thund

LACHLANI should have been there. The thought ran circles in my mind, looping through every possible scenario in which I had somehow kept her safe. I was supposed to protect Amelia. But I had left her alone, vulnerable, and now she was in the hospital, recovering from an attack that could’ve cost her life. Worse, our child’s life. I clenched my fists so tight that my knuckles cracked, trying to keep my anger in check. It was mostly anger at myself—a gnawing, bitter frustration that I hadn’t been there when she’d needed me.Matthew sat beside me at the police station, scrolling through images on the detective’s tablet, helping to sort through potential suspects. He was silent but tense, his face a mirror of my own worry. I could see in his eyes that he was as furious as I was about what had happened. If he’d been there earlier, maybe he would have stopped those men. But he wasn’t to blame, and deep down, I knew that. The responsibility fell on me alone.“You don’t have to stay, Matthew

The house felt unusually still as I put away the last of the dishes. Lachlan had left just after dinner, saying he’d be home soon. He was working late again and had just come home during lunch break to spend time with me before he took off again. Lately, “soon” had been stretching longer and longer, but tonight, with the baby restless, I missed his presence more than usual. I sighed, patting my belly gently. “He’ll be home any minute now, my miracle, don't you worry,” I whispered, hoping it would somehow make the time pass faster. Lillian wasn't in the house today. She had gone to her home for her usual medical checkup, so she was sending her daughter to her place. Her name is Rebecca, and she and I have spoken a few times on the phone. She is a really lovely person. So yes, I was all alone in this empty house with nothing else to do but sleep. Which was exactly what I did. Cooking dinner did a number on me. My whole back was aching. Maybe I could ask Lachlan to give me one of thos

LACHLANThis whole week has been nothing but great. I had just closed a million-dollar deal with a company I've been chasing throughout the year. I had my beautiful wife waiting for me at home, and our son or daughter was going to be born soon. Amelia didn't want to find out the gender before the baby was born. She said it would ruin the thrill of having our first child. She wanted it to be a surprise for both of us. I, on the other hand, so badly wanted a daughter. Someone I could pamper, learn how to braid for, buy dresses for because she was my pretty princess, and chase away boys who wanted to come close to her. I didn't realise I was smiling widely until my cheeks started to hurt. I quickly stopped my daydreaming and continued to sign the projects we were supposed to commence with. I was planning on building a few gas stations in Dubai. My friend Abdul Rashad, who lives there, told me it would be a very good investment. Expanding my business was my goal. The whole world would kn

AMELIA I woke up that morning and Lachlan was already out of bed. My hands touched the side of his bed and was met with cold and empty space. Except for a single white rose. A smile spread across my face as I picked up the stalk. I brought the flower to my nose and took a deep inhale into my lungs. It's been 3 weeks since Lachlan and I made up, and ever since that day, he always left a single white rose on the bed next to me every morning. I asked him why he chose a white rose, and he replied with the statement, “It represents your purity. You're the light to my darkness. That's why I chose this particular flower.” I had gotten so emotional I was already a crying mess before he finished his statement. He had called me a crybaby, and I cursed him out, and then we made love over and over again. The new Lachlan was my favourite Lachlan. We had so much fun together and every waking day was so full of love and happiness. Life was getting better. An additional reason why I said so was
