Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Regret: Chasing His Ex wife : Bab 151 - Bab 160

Lachlan’s POV“Amelia Mallory…. Time of death - 10:45 pm.” “No, Amelia!” Bailey's screams resounded in the room. “No,” the room seemed to cave in. “My Amelia can't be—”I jolted awake. It was a nightmare. Warm liquid trickled down my cheeks, and I realised I had been crying. I sat up, wondering what the heck that was. “Lachlan…” Cassie said groggily as she turned on her right side to sleep. I stared down at myself. I was half-naked in another woman's bed—a woman other than my wife. My eyes scanned the floor of the room. Clothing items littered the floor—Cassie's lingerie, her gown, my shirt, and shorts. A bitter taste rose to the back of my throat, and I tasted like the alcohol I had last night and the grief I was going to face. God, what on earth did I do?I threw my leg over the left side of the king-size bed, my heart racing in my chest and my mind reeling with one question: Is Amelia okay?“Lach?” I heard the rustle of the bedsheet. “I'm okay. Go back to sleep.” I told Cass

Lachlan's POVI clenched my fists as I gazed at the detective. Would you just spill it already?“Get to the point, you manipulative don of a ….” I bit back the rest of my insult when he responded with 8 words. “Chris is the main suspect in this case.” Detective Matthew's smug expression needed a punch to it, and I was ready to volunteer for it.“Chris is an idiot, but he wouldn't hurt a lot of flies!” I yelled in my brother's defence. “Oh really? He wouldn't hurt a fly, but he'd fuck your own side chick and make moves on your own wife. Matthew curled an eyebrow. I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. “Can I fall for the same trick twice? Your bullshit reverse psychology won't work this time!”“I'm not using reverse psychology on you. You know the truth. We both do.” The calm expression on his face told me he was super serious about this. Matthew placed his hand over mine and peeled it off him. “Supporting your brother will only fuel my rage, Mallory…. My job is to find the culp

Amelia's POV“Amelia, breathe with me.” Bailey's soothing voice instructed, but I struggled to draw air into my lungs. “It's going to be okay, ma'am.” I heard another nurse say as she wore the oxygen mask over my face. “Calm down and just breathe.”I followed her instructions, allowing the mask to breathe for me. Sooner than I expected, the darkness took me. In my dreams, I heard muffled arguments. “... You think you can show up here and pretend to be a man? I've had it with you! Leave!”“...No! She's my wife!”My forehead throbbed, and I lifted my hand to massage it. “Shut up. You're being too loud.”“Amelia!” A gasp followed, and a figure rushed to my side. “Baby, are you okay?”That familiar cinnamon scent and Gillette shaving cream. Dad?I felt his slightly wrinkled hand on my face and threw my eyes open. It was him.“Dad?” I called out weakly.He smiled through tears, still cupping my face. “You’re alright now, baby. Daddy's here for you.”My eyes trailed forward, and they met

Cassandra's pov “Shh,” I patted Elise’s hair softly. “Try to calm down. Please.”“And where the hell is Lachlan with all this happening?” I felt a light buzz in my pocket. Who was calling at this hour?Nina sucked loudly on her straw. I could hear the gurgling sound. “Your phone's ringing.”Was she pissing me off on purpose? I forced a smile. “I'll take that later.”That should calm the bitch down but no, Nina was insistent on being a pain in my BBL ass. “Are you sure about that?” She sucked in the straw and this time, it made a vacuum-like sound. It pissed the hell out of me. Her parents weren't even bothered by the sound. What the hell was wrong with all these people?The ringing died down and I heaved a sigh of relief. Whoever it was should take that call to hell.I pulled away from the embrace and helped Elise to the two-seater couch when suddenly, the phone rang with much more intensity than it had before. I had a feeling Nina was doing this on purpose, but I blocked her so

Lachlan’s povI entered my bedroom and shut the door behind me. The thud echoed in the air, making the silence deafening. My eyes fell on the portrait of Amelia and I on the wall and my heart clenched in my chest. I was such a fool. I still am. Amelia's smile was bright and she stared into the camera while I wrapped my arms around her in a back hug. I could remember her laughing at all my silly jokes and crying when I promised her forever. Forever huh? Amelia's tear-streaked face flashed in my mind and I clenched my fist. I deserve a punch in the face for ever hurting her. I sank into the couch thinking about my regret when suddenly, I felt a buzz in my shirt pocket. I pulled out my phone, hoping for some kind of distraction at work. Hopefully, Something to take my mind off things. The screen lit up not with work emails but 20 missed calls. And they were from Cassie. My jaws clenched and I swiped them away. “I don't have time for this.”Scrolling downwards, I found 4 missed calls
