A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 262

ALEXANDER

I loved her. I fucking move her with everything in me. But God! She was the most stubborn and annoying woman I had ever met in my entire life.

She acted like she knew better and that stubbornness she had was just too much for my liking.

I sat in the car and my hands were wrapped tightly around the steering wheel as I rested my head against the leather wrapping. I had not realized how long I had been sitting there, parked right in front of the house. I was angry and also too guilt ridden to drive off because I didn’t even know where I wanted to go. All I needed was just some air, space and silence. I wanted to stay away from her for as long as I could because I didn’t want to argue with her but it seemed like she wanted to counter every word that came out of my mouth.

Why the heck had she done this? What had Raina gone behind my back and all the plans we had made? Why had she involved Carter of all people?

And she had the nerve to be screaming at me when I confronted her like I was the villain. Like I was the one that betrayed her trust and still lied to her face. All I had ever done was try to protect her. Not only had she accused me of trying to use her as bait, she had called me selfish and careless like I hadn’t spent every day of my life since Nathan came up planning and figuring out how to keep not only her but our children safe.

I had walked out of the house after freshening up only because I didn’t want to say something I would regret to her. I was still trying to process all it, I was still trying to make sense of why she had risked everything.

The night air was cool against my skin when I eventually decided to get out of the car again. The lights in the house glowed warmly behind the curtain and a part of me really wanted to go back into the house, sit with her, hold her and just be in her presence. But I couldn’t, I was still mad at her and I wasn’t going to pretend like everything was fine or what she did was okay. I wasn’t ready to talk to her and I didn’t know when I would be.

Instead, I pulled out my phone and called Dominic. He didn’t want to come with me but after some convincing he came down to meet me and we headed to my company.

Thankfully it was doing okay and it was the only let of my life that wasn’t falling apart. The logs were balanced, the staff were hardworking and loyal to the company as much as they could, and the shareholders hadn’t started turning on us. At least not yet.

Dominic and I checked on things and made sure they were working out smoothly and they nothing was going to slow down work.

As we wrapped up and my mind dreading the fact that we—I had to return back to the house, my phone suddenly started vibrating.
