Amelia 

“Give me a son,” Lachlan growled into my ear as his hips pistoned harder, driving his hardness deeper into me. 

I cried out in both anguish and pleasure as my body climbed higher and higher and finally reached the crevice. 

“Oh God,” I moaned, my nails digging into his back as I clung to him with all my might. 

I came with a choked sob and Lachlan followed a moment later, gritting out his daily mantra into my ear as he came. 

“Give me a son.” 

I had heard those words everyday of my life for the past three years and I was sick of it. Every time, I swore to myself that I’d be stronger and the words wouldn’t affect me, but I failed each and every time. 

Just like now, I could feel one more crack in my heart as the man I loved; the man I was hopelessly in love with; my husband, with jerked away from my body like I was contagious, shot me an acidic look and stomped off to his room. 

My husband and I hadn’t shared a bed for more than sex since our marriage three years ago. In fact, I was little more than walking reproductive organs to him. 

All he wanted and all he would ever want from me is an heir to the massive Mallory empire, after which I’d be discarded as effectively as used tissue. 

Not for the first time in my life, I turned my face into my pillow and wept, the pleasure of my orgasm washing away just as quickly as it had come. 

I didn’t hear the door open, but I felt my husband’s presence in the room. I snapped my head up from the bed to stare at him through wet eyes. He only had on a towel knotted around his waist. 

Lachlan Mallory, my husband was a stunning man. I could still remember my elation when he had asked me to marry him. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world and I had been the envy of all my friends back then. 

My husband was over six feet tall with a full head of dark brown hair that was at the moment sexily mussed up from our bed activities. He had intense dark brown eyes and finely shaped dark brows over it, high cheekbones, a full pink mouth and a sharp jawline. 

His body was also a work of art, with his broad shoulders, muscled build and visible row of abs. It was enough to make my mouth water, but I resisted the urge to gape at him because he would only use it to mock me. 

“W-what are you doing here?” I asked in a small and timid voice. 

After years of being abused by my step mother and now my husband, I felt weak and extremely vulnerable. Even though Lachlan would never go as far as to lay his hands on me, I knew he hated me and it was obvious everytime he looked at me and spoke to me.

He laughed mockingly, "It is my house. I have a right to be anywhere I want, or don’t I?”

“Of course you do,” I said hurriedly, “I never meant to insinuate otherwise, I mean I-“ 

“Shut the hell up!” He snapped, “I’m tired of hearing your whiny, pathetic voice.” 

I dropped my head in humiliation. 

“Get dressed, my family has invited you and I for dinner.” 

Lachlan was always careful never to use the word “us” while talking. He wanted to make it very clear that there was no us. My stomach rolled uncomfortably. 

I hated dinners with his family because his mother was a carbon copy of my step mother. 

“I have to s-skip,” I stammered, “You were a little rough and I’m really sore.”

He sneered at me in irritation, “Don’t pretend that you don’t love all the things I do to you in bed. After all, you never fail to orgasm.” 

I felt heat rise to my face, because he wasn’t lying. No matter how cruel he was, no matter all the demeaning words he tried to use to humiliate me, I still ended up enjoying sex with my husband and coming every single time, “Th-that’s not what I’m s-saying at-“ 

“Your damn stammering is pissing me off. You are so pathetic that you can’t even face me and speak.” He said with derision, “How did I end up with such a useless woman.” 

A fresh set of tears filled my eyes and on seeing it, he only rolled his eyes, “The only thing you know how to do is cry. You can’t even do the most basic thing that every woman can do effortlessly. All I want from you is a son, but I guess that’s asking too much from a worthless piece of trash like you.” 

“Stop being so mean. I never did anything to deserve this. Any of this!” I cry out, “All I’ve ever done is to make the best out of a bad situation. I’m trying my best.”

“Your best is simply not good enough,” he slashed a hand through the air, “I am sick of talking to you. I am sick of looking at you even. Get dressed and be ready and waiting at the foyer in fifteen minutes. If you make me wait, you’ll walk there. Don’t test me, Amelia.”

With those spat-out words, he walked out of the room, leaving me shaking and miserable as was my usual.

Feeling nauseous, I stood up on shaky legs and rushed to the bathroom, managing to make it to the toilet bowl before all the food I had eaten earlier came rushing back up and out of my throat. 

I felt so sick and horrible, but I knew I couldn’t test Lachlan by disobeying him. This was not a marriage, this was a prison. I had gone from being my stepmother’s prisoner to being my husband’s. 

Crawling out of the bathroom, I opened the secret compartment of my dresser and pulled out a sheet of paper. 

A sheet of paper that was the key to my freedom.

  • The Billionaire’s Regret: Chasing His Ex wife    Chapter 185

    Lachlan's POVI couldn't handle Amelia rejecting me again. The moment I went home, I went straight to my bedroom and began to pack my bags. Maybe, space was what she needed from me. I was done packing and kept my box at the side. In the morning, I would leave for Japan. I had already informed my pilot. The jet was ready and so was everyone. After that, I sat in the bar in the living room, drinking some water. I didn't have the stomach for any more alcohol. I finished and kept down the glass. Almost immediately, I heard the sound of a driving vehicle. I wasn't expecting any guests and the guards knew better than to let anyone into the compound without informing me. I rose to my feet and waited. Just who was here?A soft knock in the door tore through the air and I froze.Was it mom? Nina? Dad?I made a beeline for the door and held it open. Standing before me was the person I expected to show up at my doorstep — Amelia. “Amelia, what are you—”Without a word, she pressed her lips

    Amelia's POVI scrolled through my phone, wondering if I should call Lachlan.A part of me wanted to, while the other half told me it was a terrible idea.I sat up on the couch and chewed on my lip. It was late, and here I was, thinking about someone who was probably not thinking about me. I had rejected him most horribly. I'm pretty sure he hates me, and I'm pretty sure he's out drinking and laughing and living while I sit here, questioning every decision I have ever made.I searched for Lachlan in my message app, and I stared at the screen. “Do I apologize for what I did, or should I do it in person?”My finger hovered over the keyboard, and I typed. “I'm sorry.”Then I went to the emoji icon, looking for a sad emoji. I settled for the faceless emoji, but instead of sending it, I sent a kiss emoji.Just like that, I sent it. “No, no, no, no!”Before I could delete it, he had already read it. My phone dropped to my lap and I nearly screamed.Lachlan's POVI arrived with a dry look

    Lachlan's POVThe next day, I decided to pretend nothing unusual happened in New York. But every time an employee asked how my vacation was, my mind drifted back to Amelia's rejection, and when that happened, I thought about her.I couldn't focus during meetings. I zoned out on more than one occasion, imagining endless possibilities of Amelia accepting me. One time I imagined I had never treated Amelia horribly in the past and that we were very happy. But rewinding time was impossible.“Sir… Sir!” Clara said it aloud.I blinked twice and looked at her and the sea of confused faces in the conference room.Shit. I zoned out. It was clear from the looks on their faces that they were worried about me. One more second in this room and they'll drown me in questions.I cleared my throat and reached for my phone on the table. The time was a few minutes past 4.“The meeting is adjourned to next Friday.” I pushed back my seat and walked out of the room. I took the elevator to the parking lot

    Lachlan's POVThe work came crashing down around me. The kiss… The “Yes”... The happily ever after… Everything was a fantasy… A cruel trick the mind played on me.She turned to leave, but I couldn't call out to her or beg her to stay. I couldn't even move or speak. The ring was still clutched in my hand, and my heart was bleeding deep inside.I looked behind me as she walked away, not even stopping to even stare at me. I wanted to scream for her to stay with me, but she didn't.I rose to my feet and pocketed the ring, feeling absolutely dejected and somewhat dead on the inside.I followed the path she took, walking slowly behind her. “Amelia…”She didn't answer.“Amelia, please…” I whispered again, but she didn't stop.I couldn't let her go home like this. I ran up to catch up with her and caught her wrist. “Amelia!” I believe I raised my voice because almost everyone was staring at us.She passed, but she didn't look at me, but I could feel her hand tremble in mine.God, what the h

    Lachlan's POVI ordered room service, and we ate breakfast in silence.As we ate, I couldn't stop myself from staring at Amelia. She looked twice as beautiful as she was before.She finally broke the silence. “Umm… You're looking the wrong way, Lachlan. The food is on the plate.”“Well, that's not the food I see.” I flashed her a grin, and her cheeks turned red. She gave a nervous laugh. “Wow. So funny.”When I saw that she was embarrassed to leave, I pushed back my chair. “Maybe we could go home today!” Amelia announced aloud, forcing me to resume my seat.“You want to go home?” I asked, sitting down. “Yeah…” She looked everywhere except my face. “We… we could just go home, you know…Uh… unwind… Forget about everything for a while.” “My face is up here, darling.” I told her.Amelia lifted her eyes to meet mine, and I smiled. “I thought of that too.”“You did?” She asked in surprise, and now I had the irresistible urge to kiss her.“Y—yeah.” I fisted my left hand, restraining mysel

    Amelia's POVThe smell of food interrupted the dream I was having, and I stirred awake.I rubbed my eyes and sat up only to see Lachlan walking towards the bed with a tray of food. My heart skipped a beat. “Lachlan?”“Morning, beautiful.” He set down the tray next to me and plopped down on the bed next to me. I noticed a white flower and note ona the tray. The family sight made my heart flutter. Ife just like before. He still hasn't forgotten. “You did all this for me?”“Yeah. Do you like it?” Lachlan asked, tucking a stray hair behind my ears.“Like it?” It had been so long since he'd done something like this. I was surprised and happy all at once. I smiled and blushed. “I love it.”I picked up the note and read it. Warmth rushed through me, and my cheeks were flushed with heat. I had missed this too, a,nd I'm sure he had too.I, had even forgotten last night's little “argument.”“Thank you, Lachlan.” I beamed him a smile, and he palmed the back of his neck.His cheeks were red, a
