Her Billionaire Ex-husband's Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

CASPIAN“You didn't have to tell her the truth, for fuck’s sake, Caspian. How dumb are you?” Nyx raged. Her hair was scattered across her face as she stalked from one end of my living room to the next. I squinted up at her, with narrowed eyes. What the hell else was I supposed to do? Fucking lie? “I don't lie to Aria. She most probably wouldn't be this mad if I hadn't lied from the start.” It was taking all my willpower and some more to not go after her.I had expected a reaction, maybe even anger from Aria when I told her what had happened with Talia, but not the way she had shut down, not the pain that had flashed across her brow and certainly not the quiet.She hadn't taken her calls, and all I had for assurance was my driver who informed me that she had gotten home safely. “Your uncle's celebration is tomorrow. Mrs Finnick will be expecting her there, couldn't you have waited until after?” Nyx’s angry voice only grated on my nerves. I wouldn't have told them about the conversa

ARIAWas I happy? Yes. I was worried about how Zara would react to being arrested, I was worried about what Rowan would do, but I could admit that I was happy. My life was way better than it had been three years ago. So I tilted my head and nodded. “Yes, I am happy.”“Good. Then that's all that matters.” Together, we walked back into the house and after Reed had driven off with Michelle, I walked back into the house to Caspian. He was on the phone with his uncle and I went into the kitchen to refill my cup of chocolate. When I felt his hand wrap around me from behind, I slanted my head into his shoulders and sighed. “It's been such a rollercoaster lately, I hope we get to the end soon.”He chuckled, his chest rumbling against my back. “The end? Is there an end to life?” He was right, wasn't he? As long as there was no end to life, then problems were bound to crop up, weren't they? I turned around, curling my arms around his back and watching as he lifted me onto the counter. H

CASPIAN Anyone would have thought Rowan had eaten a rotten egg, judging from the sour look on his face. He went over to his chair and settled down. He pretended to be unaffected and I pulled my phone out, recording the conversation we were about to have. “I have nothing to say to you. You're trespassing and I think you should leave.” He said, sliding a vape between his lips.“Don't be stupid, Rowan. I'm giving you a chance to turn back on the decision you just made. Do you think you can get away with lying to the court?” He stared at me, shrugging like he was completely undisturbed. “What proof do you have of that?” This man was really very dumb. I sat up, leaning forward to place my arm on the desk. “I don't need proof Rowan. Call your lawyer, and tell him going to court with that fake document won't work.” Rowan’s eyes narrowed. He stood and walked to his bar, pouring himself a drink. I could see that he was anxious from the way his fingers were shaking. He knew that I knew h

ARIAI thought my cheeks would catch on fire from the way it burned. I looked back at the door like it would explain what I was doing in front of it.“Ummm…” I stuttered. “I…I'm waiting…” I was trying to pierce together the words to explain what I was doing, standing by Caspian's door.Nyx rolled Mrs. Finnick forward, stopping beside me. “Are you waiting for Caspian? We're here to see him.” Yeah. I nodded, my head shooting up and down.I gulped. “Yeah, I'm here to see Caspian.” Mrs. Finnick smiled up at me, though her eyes were still searching my face. “Perfect, we can all go in together.” I opened the door and held it open for Nyx who rolled in Mrs. Finnick. Caspian stood, dressed in a three piece suit and looking as delicious as ice cream on a hot summer day. He came around the table to kiss his grandmother on the cheeks, then hugged Nyx and walked over to me..“Aren't you just looking beautiful, My Doll?” He asked, kissing me right on the lips with his grandmother and Nyx in

ARIA With the recording, I had step two of my plan settled. Step one was getting Zara out of jail. I had no idea if my sister had a job, or if she existed solely off Rowan’s wealth, but I needed to find out. Leaving the hotel, I found my way home. The party for Caspian’s uncle was later in the day, but I had to get the kids settled before I could even consider going. I called Mrs. Finnick to send over the nanny Caspian had requested the last time I'd slept over at his place. When the lady arrived, I met her at the door, already dressed to leave for the party. Since the children had already met her at Caspian’s house, it was easy enough to get them settled with her. “I'll be back in three hours. Be good for you nanny huh?” I kissed them both on the cheeks before leaving. Getting to Mrs. Finnick’s estate, I noticed that the party hadn't started yet. Analide was standing outside, a clipboard in hand, moving the guests to their seats. She smiled softly at me. “You look bea
