A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 256

ALEXANDER

The soft sound of the engine slowly faded away as I parked the car after pulling into the driveway but the tension I had been feeling since the chaos at the office only became worse.

Nathan had been arrested.

Less than five hours ago, the unexpected had happened right in front of me at the office. Officers had barged into the building and had gone through every paperwork, drive, file and even confidential reports that had been in Nathan’s office before he had been arrested and taken away they had found evidence against him. It had not taken me long to realize that someone had tipped them off and knowing that only four people knew about the particular thing he was arrested for, alarm bells rang in my head.

It was just me, Dominic, Faith and… Raina.

I couldn’t suspect Faith because she had been home all day, she had said she would be and she doesn’t lie. Dominic had been at work with me and that only left Raina.

And to top it all off, she had been acting weird all day long.

Memories of how we had spent last night cuddled up together as she laughed softly in the dark and the way her fingers had lazily traced circles over my chests after we had made love. It had been days, hell months since we had been that close or truthful to each other and to be honest, it had felt strange at first but I had eased into it.

Then this morning before I left for work, she had barely looked me in the eyes. She was jumpy and she looked nervous. Too nervous.

I had thought she was just shy after all. It was a new start and maybe she was feeling weird because she had let her guard down with me again since we remarried. But now that I was thinking about it…

Letting out a defeated sigh, I got out of the car and took my time to walk into the house, making sure to shut the door quietly behind me.

Laughter echoed through the air and I immediately knew who it belonged to. I filled the sound and I was led to the living room but I paused just before I could step in any further.

Raina was on a video call with the kids and she was curled up on the couch, laughing as not only her smile but her face glowed.
