The Billionaire’s Regret: Chasing His Ex wife Chapter 90.
Amelia I had turned my gaze to the food to continue eating. Thankfully, I hadn’t lost my appetite. Probably that was because two people ate this time rather than just me. But still I continued eating, throwing occasional glances at my husband, who just kept playing with the food with his cutlery. We didn’t say a word for a while. I couldn’t even tell what was happening anymore. All I knew was that I had seen my husband mercilessly throwing punches at his brother until I pulled him away. It was scary. I had never seen Lachlan that furious. He had murder gaze, and I knew this would only worsen beyond our control if he’s not stopped and I would have taken some punches if not for the fact that I was pregnant and also had value since I returned back to him. He would have accused me of seducing his brother. Now, reserve is the case.I began feeling bad that it was on my account this chaos happened. But then, it wasn’t my fault; Chris just had to be such a filthy pervert. It made me rememb

Lachlan I stretched my arms, yawning as I opened my eyes. I ran my hands over my face before letting my eyes fall on her. Gosh, she was so cute. I could barely take my eyes off her. And then gradually, my mind slipped into the events that had transpired the previous day.I didn’t think I was going to get over what Chris had done to her. It was the highest form of irritation for me. I badly felt like beating him into a pulp if possible, rendering that thing between his legs that he seems unable to control, temporarily incapacitated. This wasn’t the first time I had seen him flirt with my girls. But going that far with Amelia, like actually touching her legs, I just couldn’t condone such audacity. The nerve he had to actually touch my wife. If only Amelia and Mom had let me, oh, what a mess I would have made of him.I got the more aggravated when Amelia began questioning my moves with him, asking me ridiculous questions. But she wasn’t the enemy, and so I decided to pay her less atten

Cassandra I sat in my car, tears streaming down my face, my head placed on the steering wheel, as I let my mind run through the events that had transpired. I needed help. I couldn’t win Lachlan on my own. I had tried everything possible, but he just wouldn’t bulge. These were one of the times I regretted dating a disciplined man. Lachlan was just too disciplined for my liking.So all along, he had known. I felt so ashamed of myself. It was going to be really tough getting him back. He definitely wasn't going to leave his proper wife for a cheat like me. Recalling the events that had transpired with his wife yesterday, I knew I stood no chance.I had just finished with that old man, and I needed to just feel good after that torture. So I decided to go see Chris. Then Nina called to tell me what had transpired and, of course, to stir me up. I had decided to treat Chris’s wounds when he returned. I didn't actually know why, but I did it anyway. And I was shocked that all along, Lachlan

EricI glanced at the clock as it ticked. I didn’t know why I was so anxious. This was the first time I would be making such a drastic decision, but I knew it was necessary if I wanted Amelia back in my life. Working with Cassandra might help, but this was a sure way. Though I was shocked that I would be working directly with his blood brother to bring him down, I didn’t let my mind ponder so much on that.The knock finally came on the door, and I exhaled. I had to face it. Esmeralda walked in with a smile, as always.“You have a visitor.” “Let him in,” I told her, and she nodded. A few seconds later, Chris walked into my office, wearing that smile on his face. The Mallory family were strange people, but this man was more strange.“Good morning, Eric. Glad you have finally realized the truth.” He said, and I sighed.“You do realize that Lachlan is your brother, right? Like you both are related by blood, or am I missing something?” I just had to ask because I couldn’t comprehend why h

Amelia I was setting the table for dinner, together with servants. They had earlier objected, but I insisted. I was just excited to have dinner with my husband, and so I decided to set the table for that, or at least join in the setting of the table.He never ceased to taunt me about what had happened in the car the previous night. It was crazy for me too. I blushed as the memories came running through my mind. Oh, how I loved my husband. How I loved the effects I had on him. How I loved watching him groan in pleasure because of what I did to him. How I loved the fact that I was carrying his baby. And more importantly, how I loved how much he cherished me.We were done setting the table, and I had gone upstairs to shower. I was leaving the bathroom when I heard his car drive in. I smiled to myself. After applying some lotion to my skin, I wore a short red spaghetti dress with a low v-neck, displaying my cleavage. I put on my flip-flop and walked down the stairs to welcome my husband

Eric“Come in,” I said as I heard the knock on the door. I kept my focus on my system, already aware of whoever Esmeralda wanted to inform me of. “There’s some…”“Let her in.” I interrupted her immediately, and I could sense her shock with the way she paused. “Alright sir.” She said and did as instructed.A few seconds later, the bitch walked in casually and took her seat. I sighed. I always had to be mentally prepared before holding a conversation with this lunatic. I wondered how Lachlan had struggled with that for years. Well, that wasn’t any of my concern."Hi,” she began, getting my attention as I paused what I was doing to look up at her. A smile was plastered on her face.“Hey” I reciprocated the greeting, wearing a smile too.“This seems to be taking its toll on you.” She said, and I squinted my eyes, wondering why she said that.“What do you mean?”“Look at you. Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately? You’re gradually becoming a shadow of yourself.” She said, and I sig

Amelia We had just returned from the antenatal session. My husband had gone to his study to do some work while I went to the fitness room to run a few exercises, as my condition permitted. After a few hours there, I picked up my bottle of water and finished its contents as I strolled out of the room, eager to have my shower. And just as I stepped out, Lillian walked up to me, handing me a package. I squinted my eyes, wondering what it was, as I collected it.“What’s this?” I said, collecting the package, and then peeped inside. Gradually, I took out the flower and the jewellery box that were inside, looking up at Lillian, who wore a huge smile.“Who’s this from?” I asked, and she giggled.“Ma’am, you should know by now how crazy the boss is over you.” She said, and I chuckled. This was really weird. Just a few hours ago, we had just walked in together from the hospital, and now he’s sending gifts? I blushed hard as I took the flowers up to my nostrils to perceive it. This man was too

Lachlan It took every fibre in my being to remain calm as I watched Amelia speak to the fool over the phone. But with how delicately she handled it, I knew the idiot needed to learn the hard way. So without thinking, I jacked the phone from her and let the nonentity know how much of a fool he was.“Hey Lachlan, I didn’t think you were there.” The idiot replied instead, and I scoffed.“Stay away from Amelia. I won’t be this nice next time.” I warned, but he laughed instead, fuelling my anger. “Was that supposed to scare me?” He asked, but I remained silent, still fuming.“Wait! You mean that was supposed to scare me? You of all people should know that of all those scared of your personality, I can never be among the number. Please tell me you’re aware.”“Then let it remain that way. For your sake, I pray it remains that way. Or else, Truman, I promise you, you go out of your lane and you’ll find reasons to count yourself a part of the number.” I threatened, and those weren’t empty th

Amelia's POVI breathed softly to make him believe I was asleep, and he did. The only problem was he wasn't going to sleep.We stayed like that. Minutes turned to probably an hour or more, and I was getting tired.The rain had stopped falling, and I was glad. I reached for my phone on the bedside table to check the time. It was nearly 5 am.“What?” Those words left my lips before I could stop myself. I had to leave. I pushed back the bedcovers and turned my leg on the left side. Just as my feet hit the floor, I heard Lachlan stir. “Hey, Amelia,” he said in a low voice. “You okay?”Shit. I turned to face him. “Yes. Just about to head to the bathroom.”I noticed him pinching his eyes. Did he see through the lie? “Are you sure you're okay?” he repeated. “Beaveu you look like you're about to run away.” “I'm fine.” I nearly snapped. Then I immediately rubbed my temples. “Sorry, it's just…”“It's alright.” Lachlan said, looking disappointed. “If you want to get better reception, try d

Lachlan's POVAmelia's fingers brushed mine as she took the cup, and I sucked in a breath. Suddenly, I was yearning for her touch.Awkward silence stretched between us, and I cleared my throat and gestured to the duffle bag near the couch. “Your things are right here.” I said. Amelia glanced at the box and pressed her lips in a thin line. “Thank you.”“You don't have to.” I muttered. “It's the least I could do.”And just like that, we relapsed into silence. I turned to bring out the bag and drop it next to her. “Thanks,” Amelia said, dropping the coffee mug on the tray. “I should go.”“Sure.” I rose to my feet, and so did she. Amelia clutched the duffle bag, looking at me softly. “You look… tired. tTake care of yourself.”Before I could respond, drops of rain tapped against the window. Within minutes, the soft drizzle turned into a full downpour. I looked at the window; the sky had darkened as though it was night. “Damn it. I'm so sorry this happened.”“You're sorry for the rai

Lachlan's POV It wasn't luck that kept me standing.It was Amelia.And now, she is gone.I took the car back to the hospital, hoping I'd bump into Bailey or Amelia. I didn't know what I was thinking driving back, but I knew I had to do it. I had to see Amelia even if it was just a glimpse of her. The car parked in the driveway, and I climbed out of the driver's seat. The smartwatch around my wrist beeped quietly. I had set an alarm for 1 pm for a meeting I had with some investors. Now, that would have to wait. I needed to have a word with Amelia. I walked to the front desk as if on autopilot. There, I met two nurses who recognized me from the night Amelia gave birth. Each of them beamed me a lovely smile and asked why I was back there.“Amelia Mallory? Is she here?” I inquired, looking over my shoulder.“Oh, your wife?”Wife. That's a word I don't think I’d hear in the next decade or years to come.I hesitated for a moment before answering. “Y—yes.”The ginger-haired nurse pushed

Lachlan's POV“I'm not talking about golfing together, dude.” Matthew scoffed. “It's your brother.”“Chris…”“You need to go down to the station. Chris wants to talk to you. Says it's urgent.”“Did he say exactly why?” “No, but he did say it had to be you and was for your ears only.”I thought hard about it. What did Chris want to tell me that he couldn't tell the cops? I didn't have the answers to them; only he could provide answers to that. “Fine. I'll be at the station soon.” I replied. The call ended, and I slipped my phone back into my pocket, hoping I wouldn't regret visiting.I arrived at jail and regretted it immediately.As I stepped through the heavy metallic doors, the stench of steel, sweat, and faint smell of bleach poured out. I nearly pinched my nose, but I had to stop myself. The officer escorting me didn't budge and led me down the corridor in small, graceful steps. “Here.” The officer said, stopping in front of the thick pane of glass divided by a pair of telepho

Amelia's POV“Love is messy, Amelia. That's why we're in this mess. We are both tied down by the people we thought we loved. Love is ugly. It's—”“Real!” My cracked voice echoed in the room. “Love is real, and it's ours.”“You don't understand, Amelia,” Lachlan looked down. “We… we were never going to work out, Amelia. You and I... were…“Doomed from the beginning?” I completed it for him.“Yeah. We were doomed.” He whispered this time. A bitter laugh tore through my lips and I covered my mouth.“Amelia…” Lachlan tried to touch me but I stepped back. “Do you even hear yourself, Lachlan?” I said with a scoff. “Yeah. It's annoying, but it's true. Nothing …” he ran his hand through his hair. “Nothing about us was perfect. It was messy.”“Are you serious? Nothing about us was perfect? If it was, then why did you insist we divorce after the baby is born? Why did you make efforts to win me back? Why— “Don't romanticize what we had, Amelia. It was convenient and not love. You were conven

Amelia's POVI watched Lachlan lower his gaze and apologize in a low voice. “I am so very sorry, Amelia. I want nothing else from you, but I do have a favor to ask.”Favor? What did he want? “What is it?”He hesitated for a moment before he whispered now. “That you forgive me.”“What?” I heard a light knock on the door, and the nurse entered. “Mr. Mallory, the police are waiting.”“Oh.” Lachlan said, then turned to me as if waiting for an answer. I gave him a nod, and he rose off the bed. “Can I come see you later?” He asked in a somber tone.Has Lachlan ever looked this vulnerable? “Yeah.” I replied weakly, leaning against the reclining bed. “Okay.” He turned away from the room and shut the door behind him. I heaved a sigh and closed my eyes. Tonight was a long night. The baby moved in my arms, and I pulled him close, inhaling his clean scent. “What do I do, baby?” I whispered. “What do I do?”The days that followed after that, Lachlan visited me in the hospital. And when he

Lachlan’s POVThe paramedics arrived in time and rushed her to the hospital. I called her father to come wait with us. Even my family arrived at the hospital, and we all waited in the lobby, praying for Amelia's delivery. And just when I thought all hope was lost, I heard the cry of a baby.Now, we were waiting in the sterile waiting room surrounded by our family and everyone else who cared about us—her father, Bailey, Rebecca, hell, even my family showed up. Despite the company, I still felt alone. “Amelia will be fine.” Bailey said, sitting next to me. I looked down at my trembling hands. “She's been through a lot because of me….”“Come on. Don't say that, Lachlan.” Bailey put her arms around my shoulders.I shook my head. “If anything happens to her or the baby, I don't know what I'd—”“Stop!” Rebecca interrupted in a firm voice. “Don't say that! Nothing will happen to them.”My voice cracked as I tried to speak. “But…”“You've made mistakes, Lachlan. I understand, but you're he

Lachlan's POV “So…” Amelia asked quietly. “What happens now?” I ran my hand through my already tousled hair and exhaled softly. “Now?... We move with our lives.” “What do you mean?” Amelia looked at my face now, her brows furrowed in confusion. A shudder escaped my lips, and I replied. “You've given me an heir, Amelia…. The deal was to give me an heir and sign the divorce papers…” As much as it hurt me to admit it, it was the truth. “What?” Her eyes went round, and my heart clenched. The image of her broken expression was like a dagger to my heart, and I looked away. The only thing that mattered was Amelia. I didn't deserve it after hurting her—not once or twice, but over and over again. Her eyes filled the same way they did when she stumbled on Cassie kissing me in the office. It was never my intention for her to see that. Hell, I hadn't even wanted it to happen, but it did, and she had run away like she did before. Suddenly, memories of the incident flickered through my m

Amelia's POVA scream escaped my lips as the sound of gunshot echoed in the cathedral. Eric collapsed to the ground, his brown eyes holding mine as crimson began to grow around his white shirt. I felt a familiar pair of warm arms wrap around me. “Amelia… hey, it's going to be okay.” It was Lachlan. He planted a light kiss on my forehead, cradling me in his arms. “It's going to be okay. I need a medic in here!”Panic ripples through me as I struggle to breath. Each gulp of air was more difficult than the last and sooner, I began to hyperventilate.“Amelia?” Lachlan's voice became muffled in my head and his face became blurry.“Hey, get help! She's not breathing well!” Lachlan yelled, sounding the alarm to the officers.Amidst the panic, I felt a gush of water flood my shoes. A loud cry tore through my lips as I tightened my grip on Lachlan’s shirt. He looked down at me and gasped in shock. “Her water just broke! Amelia's going into labour.”Detective Matthew rushed to our aide with
