Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

Only divorced on papers.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

"Leaving? What do you mean?" Ashley asked, looking stunned.

"I...I can't stay here anymore. I need to get away from everything. From Jared, from Sofia, from all of this," I responded.

I watched Ashley's face fall, and my heart broke even more. I knew she was not going to take the news lightly, but hours ago, after crying and waking up, I had a deep thought and decided leaving was best. I doubt I would ever get the healing I deserved if I kept staying in a place that reminded me of my pain and loss.

"Where will you go?" Ashley asked, her voice surprisingly calm. I knew it was a facade, but I was grateful she was trying to be the stronger one compared to me, who already had tears threatening to spill down my face.

"I honestly don't know yet. I just know I have to leave. I can't stay here and pretend everything is okay when it's not. I want to get a new life and heal faster. I deserve peace and happiness, and so does my child."

"Ummm, I don't know, but I think we have to talk about this later. I'm sorry, I think I've lost my appetite," and with that, Ashley rose and left the dining room.

"Ashley "I tried to call, but she was gone.

(JARED'S POV)

I was seething in anger as I drove Sofia home from the hospital. Oblivious to my mood, she kept chattering away about her doctor's appointment. I had driven her to the hospital to get her pregnancy supplements, and we had bumped into Arielle and Ashley.

For a moment, I was lost in thought, wondering why Arielle was at the hospital. But I decided to push it aside for now. I had a more pressing concern to tend to.

As we pulled into the driveway, my anger doubled, threatening to burst through the surface. We alighted and stepped inside, and I shot the door behind us.

"Sofia, we need to talk," I said, turning to face her.
