The Billionaire’s Regret, His Ex-Wife’s Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Chapter 11Sophie Clarke•••I hated how my parents reacted to the divorce. We all wanted the same thing—to get my husband back, but it didn’t justify their reactions. They treated me so badly and blamed me for all that happened. It was so inconsiderate of them to speak to me in that way. I stormed out of the house, my whole face burned with anger. There was no use staying there. I stood outside for a while, I didn’t know where else to go. I just needed Alex back. I needed to think of a way to make Alex change his mind or someone who could talk to him. “His parents,” I whispered to myself. It sounded like a bad idea but I had no other choice. We didn’t have a good relationship, they just wanted him to get married to finalize a deal. But I was certain that they would be nicer and more attentive than my parents after hearing I was pregnant. They would welcome me in a warm embrace and probably talk to me. I just needed to summon up the courage to go to Alex’s family's house. Afte

Chapter 13Sophie Clarke•••My chest tightened and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe properly. What was I seeing? I couldn’t believe he brought her to our matrimonial home. God, Alex had an insane amount of audacity.I blinked, tears spilling fast. He was even embarrassing me in her presence, talking to me like I was a piece of trash. The words hurt me so deeply, and I felt like tearing her apart. She still sat there looking at me with her legs crossed, like she owned the place. If looks could kill, Leila and Alex would have dropped dead at that moment. Leila smirked faintly and turned her head away, as if I was beneath her. That gesture alone sparked something inside me. I let out a faint scoff and marched towards her. “You think it’s funny?” I demanded as my hands went straight for her hair. I pulled her hair as hard as I could. She screamed, grabbing my wrists but I yanked harder with the anger burning through my chest. “You have no shame, do you?” You think you can ju

Chapter 15Sophie Clarke•••“Mom, do you have to go?” Mia groaned as she saw my suitcase. I had already told her about the trip earlier. “Yes baby, it’s a work trip. I’ll be back in less than a week.” I gave her a peck on her forehead and hugged her before walking towards the nanny. “Please take good care of her.” “Mia, be a good girl, okay?” I waved at her as I walked out the door. Ethan had invited me to New York for the collaboration deal. He wanted to use my fragrance for his beauty products at his company. I was reluctant to go at first, because New York held a lot of memories for me. I wasn’t ready for memories to flood my mind. Work was very important to me and I just had to. I got to the airport, but my flight was delayed due to some issues. I had to wait for three hours. I was already tired but I was glad I didn’t schedule a meeting for that day. When I finally got to New York, I headed straight to the hotel Ethan booked for me. It was the same hotel I was embarrassed

Chapter 17Sophie Clarke•••My heart trembled.It had been five years. Five fucking years. I just leaned on the door.I didn’t believe I could walk past him and pretend like I didn’t know who he was. He was someone I once yearned for, someone I thought I couldn’t live without. The old me wouldn’t have been able to look Alex in the eye and deny him. He hurt me so much that I’ve had no feelings or soft spot for him anymore. He wasn’t looking too bright as he usually did when we were married, I wondered if he was doing well. I actually didn’t care about him anymore, the fact that his presence made my heart skip a beat actually gave me the chills. A buzz on my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked at my phone and saw that it was a text from Amanda. We were supposed to meet up after my meeting. I had even forgotten, I let Alex cloud my memory once more. I quickly changed my clothes into something lighter and comfortable. I headed to her place, and it looked strange as I got

Chapter 19 Alexander Cole ••• I woke up late with a headache because when Samuel left, I stayed up drinking, and the question he asked kept replaying in my head. Why was I running after Sophie? Someone I never loved. I dragged myself from the bed and poured myself a glass of water. I looked at my phone and saw my assistant had called twice already, that was when I remembered I had a meeting to attend two hours ago. “Fuck!” I yelled. I wasn’t in any condition to attend a meeting but I had to go. My company had been running to the ground, and I was tired of everything. When Leila left I became so lost that my company suffered, I wished things could go back to normal. After I showered, I pulled out a button-down shirt with my black wrist watch from the closet. I didn’t have the energy to dress seriously. I drove to the office, pretending to care in meetings, like I wasn’t drained and on the verge of giving up. I was having serious hangovers, so I kept on staring at t
