ALEX

Luckily I didn't have to stay in the hospital for long before I got discharged. I only sustained some injuries on my head due to the fact Chloe broke a bottle on my head, and the craziest part was during my stay at the hospital, she didn't even visit me once.

"You are cleared to leave, just make sure to clear all the discharge documents." The doctor informed me, adjusting the glasses on her nose bridge.

After giving some advice, the doctor left, closing the door behind her; I had a lot on my mind. I have been absent from the office for days. Although my assistant seemed to be handling things there were still some things I had to handle myself.

The loud ringing tone of my phone caught my attention; I quickly reached out for it, thinking it was my assistant, Jonathan, wondering if there was an emergency at work.

My brows pulled together, and I was immediately displeased to find out it was Uncle Donald. The last person I wanted to talk to right now.

  • Chasing My Run Away Wife After Regret.    Chapter Eleven.

    REYNA I was speechless; that is exactly how he left me. I have never met someone as annoying as him. Veins popped on my forehead. ' Calm down, you have a board meeting to attend.' I chanted in my head over and over again. Reyna: Stop stalking me, Alex. Unknown: I am not stalking you all I did was send flowers to my dear wife. With the nerves he has, I took a deep breath to relax. Reyna: I am not your wife. Unknown: last I checked I didn't sign any divorce documents. . That was it; the truth was that Alex and our divorce was not finalized and what happened between Theo and I was a short-term contract, but unfortunately, he died. Why love life was fucked up? The last thing I needed was an annoying ex-husband. Reyna: Don't you ever contact me again and stay the hell away. He was still typing, and I knew whatever he was about to reply would definitely get on my nerves. I blocked his number immediately. My grip on my phone released and I muttered some calming words to

    Chapter 12: Reyna's POV: Sitting across from Mr. Orlov in the stone-walled conference room, I asked. "How did you know Alex?" Mr. Orlov’s lips curled into a half-smile, the kind that gave nothing away. "From a lot of places." He replied. I waited for more, for even a crumb of elaboration, but he offered nothing. Just silence and that unsettling smile. My mind raced. Barely five people knew about my wedding to Alex. It was the most private ceremony—no grand ballroom, no paparazzi, just us whispering vows in a secluded chapel. So how did Mr. Orlov know? I forced the thought aside. I was here for business, not to dissect ghosts of my past. Alex had consumed too much of my mind lately, and I needed to break free of that. I needed to focus. "Right.” I cleared my throat, opening the black folder on the table. "As I mentioned earlier, this collaboration could benefit both our companies significantly. Your distribution channels and my firm's innovative product lines are a perfect ma

    Chapter 13Alex:For days now, I couldn't find peace. It was as if my mind had turned against me, conjuring memories of Reyna at every turn. I couldn’t walk down the halls of my home without hearing her laughter echo against the walls. The kitchen still smelled faintly of her vanilla and jasmine perfume, and my bed—our bed—felt cold.It was my fault. All of it.Losing Reyna was a mistake I could never forgive myself for. I betrayed and shredded the trust that she had given to me so freely, and for what? A fleeting moment with Chloe? For days now, I have been following her. Pathetic, I know. But what else could I do? I didn’t have the courage to approach her, not after what I had done. So, I settled for watching her from afar. However, today, I finally mustered up the courage to face her. To say something, anything that might lessen the weight in my chest. And bring her back to me.I drove to her company, rehearsing apologies and explanations under my breath, but the moment I saw

    Chapter 14Reyna's POV:I laughed. No, I scoffed—loudly. It burst out of me, loud and unrestrained, echoing through the empty hallway of the conference room. "Escort me home?" I mocked. "You want to escort me home like you care? Like you ever cared?" "What's this, Alex? A sudden fit of morality? A redemption arc? Do you think holding back a scumbag like Orlov makes you a hero? You pathetic little bastard." I spat the words out. "Where was this savior act when I was drowning in your lies? When I begged you to choose me, to love me, to at least see me? Oh, but no, the only thing you saw was your ambition, your precious company, and my own best friend—but never your wife."I took a step closer, watching him as I circled him like a predator. "And now, here you are, dressed in your expensive guilt, thinking a jacket over my shoulders will erase everything? Do you think I'm that stupid?"His mouth opened, but I didn't give him the chance. "Stay away from my life, Alex. I don’t need you.

    Chapter 15Alex’s POV:Leaning back in my chair, with fingers steepled under my chin as I stared blankly at the wall of my office. The sound of my phone buzzing broke my thoughts.My assistant, Samuel's voice came through. "Sir, we received a call from Ms. Reyna’s assistant."My grip tightened around his phone. Reyna?"She had all the roses thrown out and… uh... And… there’s talk of a restraining order if you keep being ‘stubborn.’"I clenched my jaw. I wasn’t surprised, not entirely. Reyna was furious, and she had every right to be. But a restraining order? That was low—even for her."Sir? What should I—"“Cancel my meetings.” I interrupted. “I’m heading out.”I ended the call, grabbed my car keys, and strode out of the building.Soon, I was driving out of the parking lot. With one hand on the steering wheel while the other tapped a restless rhythm against my thigh.I wasn’t the kind of man to dwell on emotions, but as I drove through the streets, my mind kept circling back to her.

The flicker of fury in his eyes was brief but unmistakable. That alone sent a twisted sense of satisfaction curling through me.Let him stew in it.If he thought he could bulldoze his way back into my life with flowers and unexpected visits, he was in for a rude awakening.What I didn't expect, however, was for Richard Fontaine to actually show up.The moment I stepped into the waiting area, my eyes locked onto him.Dark suit. Polished shoes. That same infuriatingly self-assured posture.Richard turned just as I appeared, his lips stretching into a smirk. “You’re a hard woman to track down, Reyna,” He said smoothly, as if this were some grand reunion instead of an unwelcome intrusion.I folded my arms. “I wasn’t hiding, Richard. I was avoiding you. There’s a difference.”Richard Fontaine. CEO of Fontaine Enterprises.

The maître d’ led me through the restaurant, past flickering candlelight and hushed conversations, to a private dining room at the back. The doors swung open, revealing Richard already seated, leaning back in his chair like a king surveying his kingdom."Ah, Reyna," He greeted smoothly, rising to take my hand. He brought it toward his lips, but I pulled back before he could make contact."Let’s skip the pleasantries," I said, sliding into my seat. "What do you really want, Richard?"He chuckled, settling back into his chair."Straight to business. I like that."A waiter arrived, pouring wine into two crystal glasses. Richard lifted his glass in a silent toast."To new beginnings?"I ignored the gesture."Talk."He sighed dramatically, swirling the red liquid in his glass."Alright, alright. The merger.

    Chapter 18 Alex's POV: When I opened my eyes, the first thing I registered was pain. A dull, persistent pounding against my skull, as if someone had taken a hammer to my head. My body ached, sore in places I didn’t even know could hurt. And my mouth felt like it had been stuffed with cotton. Groaning, I tried to sit up, but my muscles protested. What the hell happened last night? My mind was sluggishly struggling to piece together the fragmented memories. I remembered the bar. Then Reyna. I could still picture her standing in front of me, and the way she had looked at me—cold and indifferent—like I was nothing to her. Then… the taxi. And then… nothing. My mind was blank after that. The moment I shifted, a wave of nausea hit me hard. I barely had time to scramble out of bed before I lunged toward the bathroom, dropping to my knees as I barfed violently into the toilet. My body shook as I emptied my stomach, the bitter taste making me gag even more. When the convulsions fina

  • Chasing My Run Away Wife After Regret.    Chapter Twenty Eight

    Morgana's POV I never ever thought that I'll see Mary Anne again, who now says she goes by the name Gabriella. Ella for short. She was my best friend when I was in the secondary boarding school. She always had my back then when I was been bullied. She was the only one who stood by me and was my friend then. When we graduated secondary school, we parted ways. She gave me her contact then, but with the parents I had, they did not allow me to have any contact with the outside world. They didn't allow us to have cell phones in the school then, and trust my frigent parents to go by the rules so well. “It's so good to see you again.” I said to her, as we sat at the bar. This particular bar area was a little better than the rest, because the noise reduced. Not drastically, but enough to hear what we are saying without straining our ears. “Yeah. I was not the one that bailed on our friendship though. I totally expected you to call me. But you didn't. And it was as if you vanished into thi

  • Chasing My Run Away Wife After Regret.    Chapter Twenty Seven.

    Morgana's POV The days that followed were the best days of my life. I won't even lie about that. I never thought I'd feel so much joy with a man given my past experience. But here I was, loving every moment I had with him. He's given me experiences that I never imagined I'd get to enjoy. He made me feel special and has successfully reeled me into his web. Not that I'm complaining. I'm having the best time of my life here and it's all because of him. And I think I was falling in love with my husband. Normal people fall in love first, have a relationship, then continue to marriage if compatible. Clearly not us though. We got the whole thing wrong. I think I did. I can't say from his side. The only part where he had revealed his feelings to me was that night when he told me how he felt. But, he did not emphatically tell me that he was in love with me. And let's be candid, if he'd told me then, I might have run for the hills. I would not have known how to deal with the situation. I

    Xavier's POV Holding a very exhausted Noah in my arms , I used my left hand to swipe the card on the lock and the door opened. Slipping into the suite, I saw Morgana curled up on the couch, sleeping. It was as if she was waiting for us to arrive. One glance at the laptop I saw in front of her, it didn't take anything for me to know that she was working before I came in. Probably slept off. I could bet anything right now that she didn't order anything to eat. I gently walked towards his room and placed him on the bed. He rolled on his side as murmured inaudibly. But I caught on to something he said. “Thank you daddy.” He said, his eyes still closed, obviously asleep. My heart swelled so much that I thought it would burst out. He wasn't even awake and he's pulling in my non existent heart strings. Well, his mother has been doing that for a while now. I kissed the top of his head and stepped out. I've watched the kid grow up and I've come to fall in love with him. Whatever it is th

    Morgana's POV Italy is hot. Like, I knew I checked for the weather they had right now before I packed my bags. And I used that as a template to pack clothes. But right now, I could not have been more wrong. The place was like hell. Hot like that. “I think I'll go shopping again.” I said. “Why?” My husband asked and I sighed. “The clothes I brought along do not fit the summer they have here. This place is hot. I cannot imagine wearing these clothes everyday here. I'd fry.” I said, picking out the clothes and tucking them back into the traveling box. Getting to the hotel, I knew Xav would do the most and I was not entirely shocked at how extravagant it was. I was just surprised at the beauty. It was an old money kind of hotel. And then again, it was a resort so it kind of had everything. He got us a whole presidential suite and everything is as though made for the president. It screamed money. When I asked him how much everything cost, he jokingly asked if I wanted to pay for i

    Morgana's POV I looked at the boxes that have been packed to go. They stayed in the middle of the sitting room. Noah was running around happily and giddily. Immediately I told him we were leaving the house, the excitement he had was over the roof. He's been jumpy ever since I told him about it. And it made me a little sad. Thinking of the life he could have but he was not stuck in the house homeschooling. This has made me think that maybe I'd reconsider him going out. And starting with this vacation. After he's done, he'd start going to school like kids his normal age, so he'd be able to relate well with them. The regret I used to feel anytime he threw tantrums about going out and I scolded him is always over the top. “You ready, wife?” Xav asked and I blushed. Hard. He's made it his mission this past few days to make me blush. I've been always nervous and also giddy around him. “Yup.” I popped the p and called out to Noah. “Hey baby, come on. Let's go.” I motioned for him with

  • Chasing My Run Away Wife After Regret.    Chapter Twenty Three.

    Xavier's POV As soon as I stepped into the house, I could feel the tension. There was something that's going on right now. Or something went down here. The manor was always silent most of the days. When my parents were still alive, the place would always bustle. There was always life inside. If there was no party today, there'd be a dinner tomorrow in which they invited all of their friends. They were always doing one thing or another. I ohkd not wrap my head around the fact that then. But, it was fun. Especially since I was a child then. Since Morgana came in, the house has become calm. Not like the feeling of graveyard it almost always had. It was just calm and homey. The reason I didn't always stay in my apartment in the city was because of my grandpa. He had frankly refused to leave the house. I know he had memories here. But staying with all that bitterness and regret would hurt him. I don't know how he's still alive until now. Given that he blamed himself for the death of m

    Morgana's POV I stormed into the house funing and angrily mad. This has to come to an end today. Even if it's not the end, I must see to it that the person behind disclosing the identity of my son is exposed. That was one of the things I had dreaded. I don't know what will happen now that Simon already knows about it. But, I've been a little calm since he left my office. The realization that I was not alone after all resonated within me and I've been conscious of that fact and I like that. It made me feel at peace. But then, whoever the mole in my house is, must leave today. Dropping my bag on the couch, I rang for the bell that was supposed to call for them. Soon enough, they started coming in. And there were about five of them. “Good evening, Miss. Is there a reason why you have called us all here at this time?” The housekeeper, who was a little older, asked. The woman looked strict. She never took rubbish or sucked up to anyone in this house since I joined. Her facial feature

    Morgana's POV I'll take a break after all of this. I'm tired from inside and I'd crash soon enough. A small smile made it to my face after remembering what happened yesterday night. We did not go all the way but went far enough to give pleasure. For the first time in my whole life, I had a pleasure from a man and from my own hand. I love every moment that came along with it. How he held me and how we cuddled to sleep. I could get used to that. There was a knock on my door. “Yes?” The door opened and Sasha peered in. “Can I come in?” She asked sheepishly, hiding behind the door, I nodded. My jaw dropped as soon as she stepped in when I saw what was in her hand. I was shocked to say the least. “What the hell?” I whispered. “Why do you have something like that with you?” “A delivery clae in for you.” She smiled and dropped the ridiculously large bouquet on my table. The scent whispered through my lips and I smiled almost immediately. Knowing Xavier, he goes overboard over litera

    Morgana's POV We got home later that night. Immediately I stepped into the house, I was a little guilty. I had totally forgotten about Noah who was home alone with the maids. Ones I did not trust and I was planning to fish out later. And I'm sure he would have worn Grandpa Will out. I was surprised he did not call me today though. On a normal day, he would have disturbed my phone with calls if I didn't come home early. Given how silent the house was right now, he has slept. “I'll check on Noah.” I said to Xavier, trying to avoid his all looming presence. He did not say anything and I slipped away, climbing the stairs rapidly. When I got to the front of his room, I hesitated a little bit before opening the door gently. And just as I guessed, he was lying on his side sleeping peacefully. The lamp in the corner of the room is dimly lit. He's the only child I know that does not want to sleep with all the lights on. He prefers to stay in the dim light. I sat gently beside him and st
