Alexander:

I stood on the balcony, phone pressed to my ear, trying to focus on the conversation. But my mind kept wandering back to Lou. I had never seen her so angry. I found myself loosing focus as we spoke. I was so eager to end the call but he wasn't having it.

The call was from my business partner, and it lasted for thirty minutes. By the time I hung up, the night air had grown chilly, and I was eager to get back inside to see her. I can't believe the call lasted that long.

I turned to head back in, but my hand closed on the door handle, only to find it wouldn't budge. I tried again, but it was locked.

The...

Fúck??

A slow smile spread across my face as I realized Lou had locked me out. I chuckled to myself, impressed by her spirit. Wow. She's one crazy firecracker. A silly prank and I get locked out. I wasn't even convinced of her heartlessness– but now I'm seeing it. And it stings.

"Well, Lou, it looks like you've got me right where you want me," I said aloud, leaning agains

  • Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Badass Wife Back   Risking His Life

    Louisa:My gaze locked onto the firefighter. "Alex? Have you seen Alexander?" I couldn't help but ask. Everyone knows Alexander Salvatore. The firefighter shook his head. "No, ma'am. I haven't seen anyone by that name."My anxiety spiked. "Fuck!!"Suddenly, a paramedic approached, holding a charred tie. I looked away not in the mood for talks. "Excuse me, ma'am. Is this...?" He began.I reluctantly turned and my eyes widened as I recognized the tie. "Alex's," I whispered, my voice cracking. "No.... this can't be!!" The paramedic's expression turned grim. "We found it near the fire's epicenter. It was caught in the flames...and burned."My world crumbled. My heart shattered. "Alexander!" I screamed, rushing toward the burning building. Could it be he attempted saving the kids – even with his allergies? What if he didn't make it? What if he suddenly started choking and lost consciousness amidst the chaos? And what of my babies...Oh my goodness.. he risked his life! And now it all yi

  • Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Badass Wife Back   Real Fear.

    Louisa:I settled into my couch, phone pressed to my ear. My manager, Rachel, was on the other end, discussing Goldrich latest proposal. I do most of my work at home, I have an office here. I don't really like visibility that's why I barely visit the company.But I'm informed of the day to day activities. Rachel's great at managing. "Louisa, their projections indicate significant growth potential, and with our investment, we could corner the market on sustainable energy solutions."I scrutinized the financials on my couch, my mind racing with the possibilities. "Rachel, I'm not convinced their valuation is accurate. We need to review their numbers more closely."Due to some findings and research, I discovered there's a project Alex's company is trying to get. Something huge. If I could get it, it'll definitely be a big blow to Alex and shock him to the core. I would like that. I would like to see the frazzled look on his face. But that'll be after our divorce. I want to make him mi

  • Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Badass Wife Back   Fire!

    General:Later in the afternoon, Alexander pulled up to the school, eager to pick up Jade and Jasper. He was early, but he couldn't wait to see his little ones one last time. Lou had made a firm decision, one that brooked no refusal. She wouldn't even listen to him and would glare at him whenever they cross paths.It's going to be painful, but what he's feeling is nothing compared to what he made her feel three years ago. She gave birth alone, lonely, with no one by her side. He deserved all this. He closed his eyes for a moment, hating himself. If he could just kill himself, he would. How could he be so foolish to trust Jenna? Shouldn't he have confronted Louisa about the pictures first? Why did he do this to himself. Gosh.They say everybody makes mistakes...But he's literally killed himself. As he stepped out of the car, lost in his thoughts, a loud alarm pierced the air jolting him out of his reverie.It was the school's fire alarm. What the hell?Alex's heart quickened as he ru

  • Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Badass Wife Back   Dead To Me.

    General:Alex sighed out, sunlight streaming through the curtains, as he was forced out of the blissful sleep. His head was throbbing painfully and he realized, its a hangover. He had so much to drink with Ethan as they talked about their respective spouses. Fortunately, he left before he could drunkenly spill that he was divorced. "I hope I didn't do anything stupid!" He groaned, rubbing his eyes. His eyes scanned the room, Lou wasn't in. Where could she have gone to? He gave a frustrated sigh, getting up slowly.Lou walked in, and when her eyes met with Alexander, she scowled viciously at him, her hatred palpable. Events of last night was the last straw. "Get ready to leave." She shot angrily without even giving him breathing space."Louisa, what's wrong?" Alex asked noticing her wicked expression. She seemed so pissed, her look venomous "It's very simple. Get the fuck out of my life!!" She yelled, her fists clenching and unclenching. There's no way she's entertaining him anymor

    Louisa:He staggered toward me, a lazy grin spreading across his face. "Lou..."I rushed to his side, grabbing his arm to steady him. "You're drunk."Alexander chuckled, his eyes drifting shut. "Might've had one too many. Ethan and I drank...."As I helped him to the bed, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. His breath reeked of alcohol, but his eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint. I felt my heart pound uncontrollably. No...not again."Lou," he slurred, his lips brushing against mine.I tried to push him away, but Alex's grip tightened. I knew what was coming. "You think Donatello kisses better, huh? I'm about to prove you...wrong."Before I could react, his mouth claimed mine in a sloppy, drunken kiss. Shit!As I tried to break free, Alexander deepened the kiss, his tongue tangling with mine. His hands roamed my body, sending waves of heat through me. Oh goodness....no...."Alexander, stop," I whispered, pushing against his chest. I was getting infuriated at this."Wha

  • Billionaire's Regret: Getting My Badass Wife Back   Don't Want Him Here.

    Louisa:I smiled with relish as Alexander stalked towards us in a state of rage but before he could get to us, I slipped away from Donatello's hold, walking off.I wasn't in any mood for confrontation between them. I don't know why he's so pissed and irrational – everyone in this party saw us as couples. Jeez. But it was fun seeing his discomfiture at our sensual dance. Be prepared Alexander – I'm moving on without you. Donatello's a nice guy I wouldn't mind hooking up with him. Besides, he's a handsome Latino. Maybe I should get his number after the party The party was coming to a close and Bonnie and Ethan's cake cutting had already ended. It was fun with all the surprise gifts and other beautiful things. It felt wistful. It reminded me of our anniversaries I walked into the bathroom to wash my hands a bit. I sighed, thinking about Donatello's handsome face. Then Alex's face popped up too making me squint my eyes in disapproval.I stepped out of the bathroom, the music and chatte
