All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING MY EX-WIFE: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Kyle KingAnytime I came to California, there was always a list of invites awaiting me. This evening was no exception. The mayor had invited me to represent my mom at his company birthday and anniversary party. I wanted to politely decline because the week had been stressful due to the activities of the workshop.  While Xavier seemed to be having the best time of his life, I was struggling to understand the concepts and ideologies of the workshop. I was also up in the midnights reading through reports or job updates sent from Nashville. Instead of falling into bed right now, I was wearing a white tuxedo, black trousers and shoes, and a weak smile. I was exhausted, but I had to be at Mayor Kim’s party.  Mum had known him through my dad, and they had kept the friendship after the painful exit of my father. I had met Mayor Kim a few times, and he was a reliable and humorous man. I knew less about his wife because she was like the younger ve

Geneveive Tessa Robert I paced the room, disregarding Vera’s questions. She had arrived in California last night while I was at the party. Her boss had chosen her to complete a job for a client. It was urgent, and Vera was the only expert who could deliver it in two weeks.  She didn’t want to come, but her boss was very convincing and offered a sweet offer that Vera couldn’t say no to. I'm glad she didn’t change her mind.I had foreseen this happening. Seeing Kyle unexpectedly and reliving everything he did to me. Thank goodness that James gave me a heads up; if not, I wondered if I could have challenged him like I did last night. I could still feel his hands on me. The fool! He had the guts to tell me he wanted to ask for forgiveness after four years of silence! I wish I had slapped some sense into him, but I didn’t want to spoil the mayor’s party. ‘What’s going on in your head, Tessa?’ Vera

Kyle King I thought I would be free after seeing Tessa, but I got worse. The realization that someone else could get her pregnant and give her those beautiful children I saw hit harder. I had failed woefully. The triumph in her eyes as she delivered the news made me feel like a loser.  Four years ago, I thought I made the best decision by divorcing Tessa, but now I am beginning to feel stupid for returning to Ava. If I had waited, maybe those kids would be mine now, and I wouldn’t be worrying about not having an heir to the King’s company. I caught myself immediately. It was too late to start regretting because it was obvious Tessa would never be mine again, or could she?  Xavier walked in with a pack of pizza. ‘You have been moody since we returned from the workshop. Did Ava call again?’ Ava had been calling frequently to deny access to our joint account. I told her several times t

Kyle KingI checked my outfit again before stepping down from the car. I hoped Tessa wouldn’t run off once she realised that I was the representative of the D.K. tech company. Uncle David wanted to fly over, but I assured him that I wouldn’t mess it up. Tessa would have no choice but to stay because her father had already agreed to the contract details. All we needed was to run through the plans for the job, and I would send a go-ahead to the team in Nashville.I walked into Dio’s lounge. I had picked an open environment because I wasn’t sure if it was going to be Tessa or her brother who would show up. Seeing her now, I was proud of my decision. I took a last glance at Robyn’s rare collection suit and a pair of specially made black shoes by an old friend. I looked exactly like my title: The Billionaire CEO. ‘Hello, Mrs. Tessa,’ I smiled, taking my seat. ‘I am sorry for keeping you waiting.’She rose i

Kyle King The workshop seminar is ending this week, but I hadn’t booked my ticket to leave California. I was confused and unable to sleep at night because I kept thinking about Tessa. I tried to search for her location, but I got nothing. Mayor Kim had refused to give him her address because of what happened at the anniversary. The Kings had been officially cut off from the mayor’s list of favourable people. I rose from the couch, took my glass of juice, and walked outside. Xavier was with his study partners. They had their final examination on Friday, and Xavier had created a study team for people who were interested. I was supposed to be with them, but I would be of no use due to my lack of concentration. My phone vibrated. A message from Uncle David. He wanted to know if I had given Tessa her copy. I sighed. How could I find someone who didn’t want to be found?  A few days ago, I went to the mayor’s h
