Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

Olivia ~•~ONE YEAR LATER“Baby, baby.” I heard muffled voices from my sleep but I was too exhausted to open my eyes. It was followed by a gentle tap on my back. Letting out a loud yawn, I opened my eyes and turned around to see Maxim staring at me with lustful eyes. “Good morning.” I smiled as I placed a soft kiss on his hand. “I hate that I have to leave today,” Maxim grumbled as he pulled me closer to his arms. “I’ll miss you so much.” He added, attacking my face with kisses. The thought of him leaving made my stomach churn. “I’ll miss you too. I don’t want you to leave.” I groaned inwardly and leaned into his chest. “You know I have to leave for work.” He reminded me and I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, right.” I hated that we had to be apart from each other. The distance between us was frustrating but we still tried our best to make it work. Maxim and I had been together for eleven months. He made me feel so seen and special. I felt safe and comfortable in his presence. Life was

Olivia ~•~The kids were in their room getting ready while I remained in the sitting room. I had called Maya earlier but she was busy and asked to return the call in about five minutes. My eyes were glued to the television as I used it as a distraction while waiting for Maya’s call. In exactly ten minutes, my phone started ringing. I picked it up from the table and saw that it was Maya who was calling me. “How are you doing?” I asked, my voice gentle. “And how’s my baby?” My heart melted as I thought of Maya’s new baby.“Baby North is fine, I just put her to sleep,” Maya responded, her voice beaming with pride. “As for me, I’m exhausted,” Maya added with a soft chuckle. I couldn’t help but laugh. “It’ll get better with time,” I reassured her. “I’ll come over to see you guys during one of these weekends.” Ever since Maya gave birth about three months ago, I haven’t had the chance to visit her in California. I wanted to go with the twins because they pleaded that I shouldn’t go wit

Alexander Burke ~•~Whenever I pull up at the driveway in my office, I always have a sense of accomplishment. Starting my company from scratch wasn’t going to be easy but I knew that no matter what happened, I was going to pull it off. However, I wasn’t expecting to accomplish something as great as this in just the space of one year. It was as though I became even more successful after cutting all ties with my father’s business. The first few months were rocky and I almost gave up. Sometimes I wondered if walking away from the security of my father’s company was the right decision. But every time I thought of giving up, I remembered why I had started in the first place. Arthur and Caroline were there to motivate me through it all. Even Olivia, despite the strain between us, had offered words of encouragement when I needed them the most. Another thing that kept me going was to show my father that I could be successful without his help or influence. Whenever I visited him in jail

Olivia ~•~As soon as we landed in New York, we went straight to Alexander’s house. He sent one of his drivers to pick us up from the airport. Even when I protested against going to his house first, he persuaded me saying he had something important to talk to me about. I even promised him that I would just drop my luggage at home, and then shower before heading to his house. But Alexander didn’t agree. He wanted to see me as soon as I was back in New York. The twins also convinced me to go to his house because they missed their daddy. I knew it was Alexander who put them up to it, and I had no choice but to agree. After a short drive, we arrived at his house. The excitement on the kid's face was palpable as they jumped up on their father. I just stayed by the side and watched in admiration as they exchanged pleasantries. “Where is Jason?” Rowan asked, his eyes wide with excitement. “He’s inside his room.” As soon as those words came out of Alexander’s mouth, the twins dashed

Olivia ~•~Once I entered the kitchen, I gripped the counter, trying to steady my breathing. My head was spinning, my emotions turned between disbelief and a gnawing sense of doubt. Was Alexander actually telling the truth? Was Maxim really a fraud? No, Maxim was too sweet to be a fraud. He had been by my side for a while now and everything was perfect. There was no way he would lie to me about his wife. His wife was dead and Alexander had no idea what he was talking about. Maxim told me he loved me and wouldn’t do anything to hurt me. He told me I was his dream woman and the only woman in his life. There was no way in hell that Alexander was saying the truth. Alexander was just making everything up because he wanted the relationship to crumble. Alexander wanted me for himself, so he had to fabricate a lie to make it happen. My mind raced with different questions that I needed the answers to. Even as I tried to convince myself that Maxim wasn’t a fraud, a part of me was beginnin
