Chasing My Run Away Wife After Regret Written By Okwuma Esther (Esther~Writes) Reyna's POV. With all the strength left in me, I dragged the last bag of groceries I bought from the supermarket a few miles away into the house. My hands and neck ached badly as I carried them into the kitchen all by myself because neither the bodyguards nor Alex were around to help me out. Even if Alex was home, I doubt if he would offer a helping hand in lifting the heavy provisions and groceries Into the house. Just the thought of him made my mood turn sour because how can I explain to people that I have no idea when my man would be returning home. ‘it's always been like that anyways,’ I thought, followed by a sigh. He'd leave for days, weeks, sometimes even a month without informing me and whenever I tried asking where he had been for so long, he always gave me the same generic response. "It's none of your business, Reyna. Stop poking your nose into my matters ; your priority should
Reyna's POV.Alex didn't wait a second longer as he pulled me off the bed by my arm and threw me to the ground like I weighed nothing.“Get away from her, you worthless bitch,” Alex cursed. The impact he used to grab my arm and threw me off the bed was heavy which made me hurt my waist as I fell hard on the floor.I shut my eyes, wincing tightly but the pain on my waist was nothing compared to the hurt I felt in my chest.Now that I thought of how our relationship had been in the last months, I was very sure about the reason why Alex always left home without saying a word to me and also spoke to me harshly whenever he was around. It's because he had lost interest in me and was now courting another woman. He had always been sleeping with the bitch that I had considered my best friend all these while! I felt utterly devastated, my heart broken and shattered into irreparable pieces. I was so tired of Alex treating me like I was worthless. As if my only role was to be a housewife, con
Reyna's POV."Make that four extra shots. Bills on me," I heard a deep voice state calmly behind me.Surprised, I shifted my gaze to the owner voice and saw a tall figure settling on the stool next to me. He flashed a quick breathtaking smile at me, revealing the silver braces he had on his shiny white teeth.His sharp manly features was complimented with thick brows, dark orbs that sparkled under the multi-colored clubroom as his lips formed a thin line, few wild strands of his silky curly hair ran down his face, making him look like a seductive warlord.I tore my gaze away, my eyes still lifeless as the bartender slid another shot across the counter and I didn't wait a second to down them one after the other.My vision turned blurry, and my head spun due to the side effect of the vodka I drank to numb the feeling of heartache In my chest, but it doesn't seem like it was working cause the intimate scene between Alexander and Chloe kept playing fresh in my memory.‘Cant i just forget
Alexander Cage's POV.Three Years Later. My fingers unconsciously clenched into fists as I listened to my uncle's demanding tone on the other end of the line, and I could not stay silent any longer."You can't force me into signing over my company, Uncle Donald. The clause clearly states that I can only transfer ownership if Reyna and I are divorced. But we are still married," I explained, my voice rising in frustration. "We are not divorced. Reyna just disappeared without a word!" I added, struggling to keep my anger in check.Uncle Donald had been on my nerves for the past three years, threatening legal action if I didn’t comply. It had been three years since I'd last heard from Reyna, and I repeatedly tried to explain that I had no idea where she was or how she was doing. I asked for more time to find her, but Uncle Donald refused to budge."It's been three years, Alexander Cage. Three fucking whole years and you are yet to find your wife. I gave you enough time to bring her bac
Reyna's POV.The spotlight shone on me as I walked upstage, a bright confident smile displayed on my lip while making my way to Father Roberto's side as the paparazzi captured and took shots from different angles. A round of applause resounded in the hall by the guests. They all had the look of amazement, surprise, and admiration on their faces, and I gave appreciation by giving a slight bow before them, and then the lights were turned back on. "Thank you all for joining me tonight at my banquet. It’s a true pleasure to celebrate my success with you. The journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m grateful for how far I’ve come, and I hope to reach greater heights as we get more connections and make more investments." I flashed a dazzling smile at the crowd, about to conclude my speech, but the moment our eyes locked, time seemed to stop, and I forgot how to speak or breathe."Alex," I whispered, my voice barely audible, captivated by his striking features. It was those same features that ha
REYNA'S POV. The sounds coming from the party were faint since the washroom was a bit far away. It was like we were in a different world. Never in my wildest imagination would I have imagined this sufferable man would have kissed me. Alex was so fucking annoying, and those sharp blue eyes that felt like he was seeing through were dumb and smart at the same time. What was wrong with me? My brain was shut down and still lagging because why haven't I shoved him away up till now? I hate him; his touch should disgust me, remembering everything he did to me, but yet I let him control me with his scorching lips that dominate me, forcing me to melt under him, forgetting every sense of reasoning. His hand snuck around my waist to pull me close, giving him more access to my mouth, and I foolishly let him. Was it because I missed the taste of his lips that I was letting him kiss me? The kiss became hungrier. He was a greedy bastard who wanted an entire arm after a finger wa
ALEX She didn't glance back at me, not even once. All I could do was watch her leave. She had changed, she was not the same Reyna I knew. I didn't know if I hated this change or not but she made me look like a fool. That day she said she was going to leave. I thought it was a fucking joke, but she went ahead and got married to a fucking Theo. She must be delusional because I never agreed to get divorced, and her so-called marriage to Theo was a joke. I would never accept it. The cell gate clanked as the metal was pulled close. The police officer locked the gate before giving me a look of disdain and then walking away. "You can't fucking lock me in here. You have no idea who you are messing with!" I barked at him but he didn't even glance back and continued whistling. A chuckle caught my attention from inside the cell; it was a guy who had a black eye and reeked of alcohol. From my guess, he probably got into a club fight. I could not believe that Reyna locked me u
ALEX The sun was about to cross the horizon as it was very early in the morning. The weather was cold, with it biting on my skin, but the little cold bites were the least of my problems. "Please don't get me started on Chloe right now. She is a lot, and I ask myself what the hell was I thinking that day." I snapped back at him. Honestly, at times, I don't understand my actions, but the deed has been done, and I need a way to solve this problem. "Well, you fucked up, man; I don't know what to say." Maddox sighed; he walked past me, patting my shoulders. "Come on, let me give you a ride home." Releasing a sharp breath I followed after him to his slick black BMW that was parked not too far away. After taking my seat in the front passenger's seat. Maddox ignited the engine and we drove away. A lot was going through my mind as my eyes were locked on the fleeting images of the less busy street since it was very early in the morning. "Do you have an idea about what
Morgana POV How I got back to the house after putting a call through to Derek, and he said Xavier was not with him, got past me. But I was here. Inside the house. There was no one around the sitting area. And the kitchen too. I quickly picked up the general phone from the kitchen to reach out to Sarah. I asked her to go with the driver to pick up Noah. I don't know what I'm dealing with here, and I don't want to leave him to suffer for it. I reached out to the headmistress too, so that she'll know another person is the one coming to pick him up. After that was sorted with the necessary things, I slowly walked up the stairs, checking our room first to see if he was there. When he was not, I walked to his office and opened the door gently. He was sitting on his chair, but it was turned to the back, not facing me. I sighed in relief to know that he was okay and was inside. “Xavier?” He didn't answer or react like he heard me. There was a cognac bottle on the table, and I guess
Morgana's POV I sat down gingerly on the chair in front of him as if afraid that I would fall off. I never imagined that I would get to see him again, given our bad history. The last time I spoke with him, he left me to die and rot away in jail when Simon arrested me for almost killing Marilyne. Same with his parents, who had adopted me then. I cannot think of what to say to him. I just sat there looking. “Come on now, you won't say anything?” He taunted. He's always been like that. Vince being Vince. “Talk about what? Say what exactly?” I whispered back, and I hated myself for it. He's always had that effect on me. I always felt small around him. He had a way with words that always put me down. “You won't say hi to your long lost brother?” He replied to me snarkily. “Last I remembered, you made sure to remind me that I had no brother in you. So, I don't understand your need to play Big Brother right now.” I said to him, I made sure that my face was expressionless. He fee
Xavier's POV “Excuse me, sir?” My assistant, Jerry poked his head through the door. “What?” I asked without raising my head up from what I was doing. “You have a delivery package.” He said, entering the office fully. “It can wait. Add it to the rest of the stash as usual.” I waved off, still continuing with what I was doing. “Erm, I'm afraid I can't do that. The delivery was made personally by the courier, with a message on it saying that it is very important.” He said. I looked up then. He was stretching a brown envelope file towards me. That was rare. I didn't really get packages and when I did, Jerry took care of them only if it was dated back to me directly. “Why can't you check through it like you normally do?” I asked, pinching the bridge of my nose out of tiredness. “I'm sorry sir.” He said in his polished British accent. “The courier had a message that said it should be delivered directly to you and should be opened by you.” He said. “That sounds suspicious.” “I know
Morgana's POV “What do you think you're trying to do, Xavier?” I asked immediately as I entered his home office. Throwing my bag on his couch. He was obviously busy, but I did not care. He raised his head up from what he was doing, his glasses perched on his nose like the fine man he is. I shook my head to remove those thoughts. He looked so nonchalant, you'd think that he was only my boss and not my husband. “To what do I owe your royal presence?” He said sarcastically in a bored tone. I wanted to slap that bored expression off his face. “Don't pretend that you don't know why I'm here right now, Xavier,” I said, fuming and boiling inside of me. “As much as you think I know the reason you're here, I have no idea, babe.” He said, leaning back on his chair. His calling me almost dissuaded me a bit, but I got myself back in control. “Don't call me that. And stop acting so nonchalant.” I said, and I regretted it almost immediately. “Are you bothered? I feel like you would not have

Xavier's POV “This isn't what I asked you for. Are you dumb by any chance? What the fuck is your problem? All of you? Do I pay you to give me substandard work?” I slammed my hands on the conference table, and the people sitting jumped. They should. Because, I was obviously in a shitty mood. I don't want to deal with people who don't know what they are doing with what is happening right now. “I need a revamp of that. And the best one at that. If I don't get it by your next presentation, every single person on your team is fired.” I said to the team leader, whose eyes widened with fear. I could see the way they were all shaking. If I had an ounce of regret, I might have gone down on them a bit. Or maybe even apologized on a good day. But there was nothing good about the day. So they might as well deal with my bad moods. “Okay, Mr…Mr Hills. We will get you something better.” He stammered out, and I waved them off. “Get me the best, or you're all toast. Get the fuck ou
Morgana's POV The following days were nothing to write home about, too. There was nothing going on in the house except for the fact that Noah was going to school daily, which he was happy about, and I was going to work. Xavier was going to work too. He didn't speak to me. Well, except for the curt greetings every morning, he does not speak a word to me. It felt as though I was not in his surroundings at all. He was flat out ignoring me. And it hurts. It hurts so bad that I regret what I did every single day. There was no amount of me trying to start up a conversation that helped. After a while, I stopped. When I discovered that he wasn't going to talk to me except for his one word answers. And it felt to me as if I was dying inside. We still slept in the same room. And I feel like the reason for that was because he did not want Noah to notice a thing; he was already a tad bit worried to suspect another rift between us. But Xavier always came into the room late, though. When he
Morgana POV Helium was by only membership bar. I don't have one but I'm very sure that my husband has one. I was not planning on pulling that card. So I waited for a while in the car and called Ella to say I was outside. I knew she would have told the bouncers I was coming. She told me to walk up to them and I did. “I'm here to see Ella Beaumont,” I said, and they immediately let me in after greeting me. I nodded and stepped inside. The place screamed wealth and class. No wonder it was a membership-only bar. There were people around and everyone seemed to mind their business. They were dressed in tux suits and serious dresses. The place almost looked like a party would ensue soon. “Morgana.” I heard my name being called. And I saw Ella, sitting at the bar and having a conversation with another lady. I really hoped to God that we were not having a conversation with that lady present. From here, she looked like she stomped over people with her shoe. I smiled and waved a lit
Morgana's POV I was about to walk past him when he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to face him. “Whatever is going through your head right now is wrong, Morgana.” He sounded hurt. But I won't allow myself to fall for his lies again. It's happened over and over again. I think I'm the stupid one here who can't even understand something as simple as the fact that I cannot have happiness in my life. “You kissed her in that picture, Xavier. And I don't even know what else you guys did. Have you been seeing her behind my back?” I asked him all the hurt I'm feeling seeping into my voice. I suddenly felt tired. I felt as if I could not deal with whatever is happening right now anymore. “See, I just want to leave. Mm? I want to go. And I'm taking my son with me.” I said with a tone of finality. “You're not going anywhere, damn it. You listen to me right now.” He said in an angry tone. I don't know why, but my blood started boiling too. He had no right at all to be angry right no
