Semua Bab Her Billionaire Ex-Husband’s Regret : Bab 61 - Bab 70

AXELI didn't know how to process what my eyes were seeing, she was staring right back at me but it felt like I was trapped in some hallucination. I looked at the glass in my hand, wondering if maybe something had been added to the drink, but then her name was mentioned.“Racheal Knight!”The hall went quiet for a bit and I could hear the thudding of my heart in my ear.Was I dreaming?“That name sounds familiar” I heard someone sayThe reporters allowed inside looked confused at first whispering within themselves, and just like that it dawned on them who was standing in front of them.Ex-wife of Axel Alistair Someone who was presumed to be dead was standing on the stage with her eyes locked on mine. The quiet hall erupted into noise all at once, and the reporter almost went crazy trying to get past where they were barricaded to get better shots and ask questions.I tried to pinch myself awake but I was still standing in that damn gallery surrounded by wandering eyes that were now f

It was hard to ignore what the media had to say about everything, because everywhere I looked it had my face plastered on it. On the news, on the blogs, on social media everywhere. I decided to stay away from my phone just for my sanity.I was successfully able to do that all through Sunday, I had a cozy weekend with my son. Then I had some alone time when I put him to sleep. All I did was block out the chaos for a little while before I faced it head-on.I didn’t want to face it as an emotional mess and wanted to face it head-on once it had mentally sunk in. I waited in the living room for the nanny to show up before I could head to work. Working with her has been seamless and she was very good at taking care of Theo. I was so glad it didn’t take a lot to find the right person.As soon as I heard the doorbell ring I knew it was her by the door. I opened the door for her and she walked in with a smile.“Hey Tabitha” I greeted her“Am I late?” She asked when she saw I was already dress

I stepped out of the gallery and the cold air hit my face but it wasn’t as sharp as the embarrassment crawling on my skin.My mother was pushing against the security guard’s arm, her handbag swinging wildly as she tried to get past him.“I am her mother!” she kept saying. “You cannot keep me from my own daughter!”People had already stopped walking, phones were out in addition to the reporters that gathered in front, thankfully their numbers had reduced from what they were before. Jimmy and Josh stood behind her like backup. Jimmy was yelling about lawsuits and Josh kept telling the guard not to touch her.“Mom, stop it” I said and everything pausedThe guard froze mid-movement. My brothers turned and my mom’s hand dropped slowly from the guard’s sleeve.Her eyes landed on me, she stared at me long and hard, and just scoffed “Rae” she called with the strong look of disappointment she always had in her eyes.I guess something could never changeI looked at the guard. “It’s fine. I’ve

I reached out to Peter Venberg, the messiest reporter known to exist. I sent the mail at exactly 1:10 am just past midnight “I am willing to share my story with words. Rae Knight.” The mail isn’t read, short and sweet, and less than thirty minutes later I got a response back from him telling me how he would love to meet first thing in the morning. You could hear the thirst through the reply.I wasn’t going to ditch work to go give an interview, but during my lunch hours was what worked best for me so that was what I settled for. He didn’t have a choice but to wait for my time.Leaving Theo every morning had to be the hardest thing ever. I wished I could tuck him into my pocket and carry him everywhere with me.“Hey baby” I picked him up when I saw he was already up“Mama has to go to work now and make us some money. I will be back with loads of hugs and kisses” I placed a kiss on his forehead and he let out the brightest smile ever warming my heart.He was what kept me going I heard

RAE“I knew you looked familiar” was the first thing the reporter said when he walked into my office“Hello, Peter Venberg” I responded with a greeting instead“Thanks for honouring my invitation” I said through my teethNot like he was going to miss an opportunity as big as that.“No thank you for bringing it to me” he smiled and took a seat before I could even offer him one“Can we begin” he took out a camera and set it up at an angle in the office, then he took out a notepad and pen ready to write. It felt like a police investigation.“May I ask why you requested a live interview?” he asked“Why not?” I shrugged, my reasoning for that was to make sure he doesn't tamper with it. All he cared about was money and I could see him running over to Axel to get paid and sabotage me. I was way ahead of him“Before we start, I have an offer” A smile grew on my face“I didn't take you to be a bargainer Miss Knight” he smiled like he knew what was coming“Then you got it wrong” I pulled out a
