Billionaire's Regret: Ex Returns Chapter 1 Divorce

She was 6 weeks pregnant.

Ava Smith walked slowly into the living room and sank onto the sofa, wrapping her arms around her knees, her mind swirling with uncertainty. Clutched in her hand was the pregnancy test report she'd received just an hour ago.

She absentmindedly touched her stomach, a storm of anxiety building steadily inside her.

It has been two years since they got married but it hadn't thawed the ice around Logan Smith's heart. Her unwavering loyalty felt more like a cruel joke in return.

Still, she couldn't stop herself from hoping-maybe the baby would change things. Maybe he'd finally care.

Just then, the sensor at the entrance chimed.

A man stepped inside-tall, commanding, dressed in a sharp black-and-gray suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and slim waist. His eyes were cold, unreadable, and piercing.

His gaze swept across the room, his expression unreadable, his handsome face distant and cold.

Ava stood up quickly, holding the test report tightly in her hand. She took a breath, ready to speak. "Logan, I have something to-"

"We need to end this," he said, cutting her off without hesitation. "These are the divorce papers, sign it."

Ava froze, the words catching in her throat as she stared at him in disbelief and then asked. "Why?"

The man gathered his eyes and began to speak. "You aren't needed. I married you because my father made it the only way to inherit his properties. I wasn't going to allow my hard work to go to the snake. I have all I need now and I think you are useless now. My true love is back. Arabella is back!"

Logan's phone rang and he answered. "Arabella what's wrong? Are you okay?" It was the woman.

Ava's heart ached. She stared at the man in front of her in disbelief. She knew that his heart only belonged to his mistress.

Her marriage to him for 2 years was filled with hatred. Every word he uttered made Ava's heart ache the most. She had been jealous of Arabella. Every time he called her he showed her care that she never deserved. It wasn't her fault that she was forced into this marriage. Her mother caused all this and now she was filled with tears.

"I will be right there," that was his word which brought her back from her sad thoughts.

"Are you heading out?" Ava asked, her voice tinged with sadness.

"Well as you can see, I have something so important to handle, every discussion can wait."

"Really, is it because of that bitch?" Ava asked angrily.

"Shut the fuck up! It shouldn't be your headache if I am going to see anyone. All you need to do is to get back in bed and wait for me because that's all you do as a useless wife that you are." he said and stormed out angrily.

Ava clenched her teeth, trying so hard to suppress the tears. If Logan knew that she was pregnant, would he still ask for a divorce? Deep down, she knew that he wasn't the woman he loved. The real woman he loved was back. How was she going to live without him and the baby? In Logan's heart, she was just an insignificant trifle he could easily dump.

Ava sat on the sofa crying for so long. She remembered the first time she met him five years ago, how he handled her with love and care. Her reverie was broken by Logan's voice outside. She quickly got up, wiping her tears. Then the doorknob opened and then there was Logan standing and staring at Ava like she was a ghost.

"Logan? What are you doing back? Aren't you supposed to be with Arabella?" she blurted out.

"That shouldn't be your problem. Back to what I said about the divorce. Sign the divorce paper and get out of my life."

"What if I don't agree?" she asked, her voice trembled as she stared at him.

Logan seemed to have known that she wouldn't agree and his tone was mocking. "I am not asking for your opinion. Do you think I love you? You irritate me."

Her heart hurts the most and this time she couldn't hold back her tears. "Logan Smith, you agreed to marry me first. I never forced you to marry me. How can you even think of a divorce?"

He stared at her angrily. "You know who I love, if my father hadn't forced me into getting married to you, do you think I would have given you more than a passing glance? I have made a big mistake."

Ava let out a short laugh. "Really, you said you loved me and cared about me. Now everything has changed just because that bitch is back! Where was she when you had a heart attack? She disappeared into thin air and now Arabella Carter came back claiming she loved you. Are you that foolish Logan?"

As soon as the word left her mouth, the man threw a hard slap in her face. "Who are you to tell me what to do? You have no right to call her name?

Ava covered her face, she was completely dazed, her delicate body couldn't stop trembling. It was the first time Logan had hit her just because of Arabella Carter.

Her heart stinger, as she snapped through suppressed sobs. "Why should I step aside for her? I am married to you and not willing to get a divorce.

A trace of impatience flashed in Logan's eyes as he pushed Ava down to the sofa and tore her clothes. "Ava you're such a bitch and I think you only need my dick to get better."

She pressed against the man's chest and stopped his fright. "Logan, are you crazy!"

Still Logan wasn't ready to stop, she pushed him away and quickly stood up. "Logan, what if I tell you I am pregnant. We are expecting a baby. Do you still want to get a divorce?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Logan's eyes. "You're pregnant?"

Ava searched Logan's eyes for a sign of reconsideration.

"Wasn't the last time an accident? Didn't I tell you to take care of it? You can't be pregnant.

"Really?"

Logan scrutinized Ava with a skeptical look before his tone returned to the initial harshness. "Well I don't care. The best thing is for you to get rid of the child and get the hell out of my life."

His words cut through Ava's heart like a thousand sharp knives leaving her breathless.

"You shouldn't take this so seriously. I will get the driver to take you home as soon as you sign the papers."

Hearing the sound of the door closed made tears she had held back for a long time flow down her cheeks.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancĂ©, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
