All Chapters of The Ex’s Regret: She Returned to Her New Billionaire Husband: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Liora had no idea about that conversation. She remained calm on the sofa, focused on the book in her hands, though now and then she felt Xavier’s gaze tracing her every move, as if making sure she was truly alright.By late afternoon, Xavier decided to leave work early. The car glided smoothly along the road—Liora looking out the window while Xavier seemed lost in his thoughts.“I have a dinner meeting with some clients tonight. You’re coming with me,” Xavier said.Liora turned to him. “Why do I have to?”“You’re my wife, and you’re coming,” he replied, glancing at her briefly.Once they reached home, Liora went straight to their room to get ready. She chose a simple yet elegant black dress, knowing that in Xavier’s world, appearance was a weapon.When she was done, Xavier was already waiting in the living room. His eyes swept over her from head to toe before he extended his hand. Together, they left for the evening.At the restaurant.The dinner venue was on the top floor of a five-s

In a small café tucked in a corner of the business district, a thin man with slightly disheveled hair sat at a corner table. His shirt was worn out, but his eyes darted around nervously, as if afraid of being watched. This was Andrew, a former administrative staff member at a fertility clinic who had once handled the in vitro fertilization program for Liora years ago.A cold cup of coffee sat in front of him. He stared at his phone, waiting for a reply from Bella, who had contacted him earlier that morning.Instead, a man in a black suit appeared, sitting across from him without permission. Andrew flinched."Who are you?"The man slid over a small card that read: Maxwell Pierce – Wrenford Holdings. His thin smile was cold."I believe you know who sent me."Andrew swallowed hard. "Is this about Liora?"Max raised an eyebrow. "Straight to the point. We know you’ve been contacted by parties interested in buying your old records. We’re here to offer you a more profitable deal.""More prof

The next morning, Liora opened her eyes to find the other side of the bed empty. She got up, straightened her nightshirt, and stepped out of the bedroom. In the living room, Madam Amanda sat upright. Beside her, Isabelle hugged a tablet, legs crossed, gaze sharp with judgment. Both women turned toward Liora at the same time when she appeared.“Sit,” Madam Amanda said flatly.Liora took a seat across from them. “Where’s Xavier?”“He’s in a meeting—and it’s just as well he’s not here. We need to talk, just the three of us,” Isabelle said.“I’ve heard about your IVF plan. You’ve already booked with the clinic, haven’t you?”“We had a consultation. That’s true,” Liora replied.“Cancel it. This marriage is a contract, and that contract can end at any time if you cross the line,” Madam Amanda said.Isabelle smirked. “Do you think having a Wrenford child will tie you to us for life? Cheap thinking.”Liora looked at both of them, keeping her composure. “I married Xavier under an agreement, an

The black Wrenford car glided smoothly down the deserted road. No conversation passed between them, as Liora was lost in her thoughts. Xavier glanced at his wife—her lips, for some reason, always made him lose control, tempting him to devour her.Max, who was driving, kept his eyes fixed on the road, pretending not to notice anything. The partition window, usually open, was now tightly shut, granting the two passengers in the back complete privacy.Xavier still held Liora’s hand, his thumb gently stroking her wrist."Are you okay?" Xavier asked.Liora didn’t get a chance to answer. Xavier pulled her closer, his strong hand gripping her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze."I don’t want to talk about them right now," Xavier said.Without warning, he closed the distance between them, his lips crashing onto hers. The kiss was rough, possessive, as if trying to erase all memories of the earlier party. Liora responded with equal fervor, her hands clutching his shirt collar, pulling him clos

“Noah!” Bella shouted again from the doorway, but the only reply was the sound of an engine fading into the distance.She stood there for a long moment, hoping Noah would turn back, but he didn’t. Finally, Bella shut the door with a sharp motion and strode quickly toward the family room. Ezra stood in the middle of the room, his doll lying on the floor, his eyes wet and puffy.“It’s alright, sweetheart. Daddy just stepped out for a bit.” She lifted Ezra and hugged him, but the embrace felt hollow—her mind still filled with the image of Noah’s cold face as he held Liora’s photo.Once she had calmed Ezra and tucked him into bed, Bella returned to her room. As soon as she stepped inside, her gaze went straight to the nightstand. The framed photo of Liora that Noah had been holding earlier was now lying face down on the table. Bella stared at it for a long time, her jaw tightening.Outside, Noah drove through the quiet night streets, his grip on the wheel unyielding, his gaze fixed ahead.
