Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Regret, His Ex-Wife’s Revenge: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Chapter 31Sophie Clarke•••For God’s sake, why couldn’t this man leave me alone? Showing up at my house was the height of it all, I made it clear to him that I didn’t want to see him. How the hell did he even get my address? I mean… he’s Alexander Cole but no one knew my address, so how? I didn’t want to create a scene because Mia was inside, and I didn’t want her to see him. I was walking towards my door, acting like he wasn’t even there anymore. But he stood right in front of the door, preventing me from opening it. “Alex, let me through,” I demanded through gritted teeth. “Don’t make things worse.”He just stood there, looking like a lost puppy. Like the whole world had been against him, like a saint. Alex was far from being a saint. He was the devil himself. This new act of his was a show. “What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice tight as hell. “Alex, why are you here? If you think I’d let you see my daughter, you’re out of your God damn mind.”He tightened the grip o

Chapter 33Sophie Clarke•••My brows furrowed in disbelief when I heard Alex knock on the door again. He had the nerve to still stand there. “Not again,” I said quietly as I walked up to the door. I rolled my eyes when I saw him and cast him an angry look. Alex dared to ask me if he could touch Mia. I mean, I told him her name and that was already enough for him. Alex knelt, pleading, thinking it would soften me but no way. I couldn’t let him in, not then, never. I cleared my throat and asked him to leave, if not I would file for a restraining order against him, and I wasn’t joking about it. I slammed the door right in his face, and I stood by the window peeping to see if he would leave already. I saw him picking up his suitcase and I felt relieved. My heart leapt for joy, at least I could try to have a peaceful night. I hoped Alex listened to me when I told him to be on the next flight to New York. I wouldn’t tolerate it the next time he decided to show up. He finally walke

Chapter 35Alexander Cole •••A soft knock on the door woke me up from my sleep. I’d spent the entire day locked up in my hotel room. I was too depressed to even go outside. Everything that had happened at Sophie’s house kept replaying in my head. If someone had told me years ago that I’d be sad and depressed because of my ex-wife, Sophie, I wouldn’t have believed them. But there I was, feeling all the weight pressing down on me. It felt like my whole world was crashing down and I couldn’t do anything about it. I managed to drag myself up from the bed to answer the door, hoping it was room service. But I stopped and looked in the mirror and I let out a chuckle because I looked like someone who just escaped from a zoo. I looked so drained and helpless. When I opened the door slightly, a lady stood there and asked if she could clean up. I let her in because the room was looking like a mess. I opened the door fully and let her in. I went straight into the bathroom to freshen mys

Chapter 37Sophie Clarke •••It was Mia’s birthday already. Amanda and I snuck up into Mia’s room quietly, to wake her up with a birthday song. Mia was still asleep, curled into her blanket. We opened her curtain slightly without warning and started singing Happy Birthday. Our voices started low, then grew louder, playful, and then went off-key. Mia groaned then blinked her eyes open. The moment she realized what was happening, her face broke into a wide smile. She sat up, laughing, covering her face with her hands as we kept singing until the very last line. “It’s your day baby, today will be good, and nothing bad will happen today,” I told her as I kissed her forehead. Amanda promised cake, presents, music, and fun. Mia was so excited, she believed in us completely so we had to make it work. Of course, the house didn’t slow down after that. Breakfast was quick and messy. It was a good thing we started decorating the day before that, there was less work. Plans were talked

Chapter 39Alexander Cole •••I couldn’t believe that Sophie called the police on me. I just couldn’t. I hung the cell phone back on the hook as I thought to myself. Samuel’s voice still played in my head, confused, worried, and still pissed. He asked a lot of questions I didn’t have the energy to answer. I just needed him to bail me out. He promised to call someone to help with that. I couldn’t stay in that cell any longer, I was ashamed of myself. I dragged a hand down my face, leaning against the wall before the officer told me to get back into my cell. Me, Alexander Cole, in a fucking cell? Sophie was going to regret this. I had been calm all along, I mean… I’ve been nice and easy-going but she had the nerve to press charges against me. I got back into the cell and stared at the cracked ceiling. I was completely lost in thought; I wish I could rewrite what had happened, how I had made a fool of myself. At least Mia knew she had a father. I felt a sense of relief saying it
