Cassandra’s POV

The next day, I pulled up to the café to meet with Dillon. I was a bit nervous as I walked through the door. I didn’t know why I was nervous. Was it because I had to tell him we wouldn’t be moving forward with the collaboration?

Or was it something else?

I did my best to shrug it off. This was a business meeting, after all.

Dillon had chosen the café. He said it was one of his favorite places, and raved on and on about pastries or scones or something. Originally, I’d wanted to meet in his office, since that felt far more ‘business-like’, but he’d persuaded me.

He was already there, seated in the corner of the small café. He was wearing a crisp white shirt, rolled up at the elbows with a couple of the top buttons undone. He looked casual and comfortable, like usual.

He saw me and waved, a huge smile breaking out onto his face.

I went over and he motioned to three coffees on the table.

“I took the liberty of ordering a coffee for you,” he said. “But I didn’t kno

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 374: First Impressions

    Cassandra’s POV Mother? So this was Blaire’s son I realized. I found that strange since he looked NOTHING like Blaire. Blaire was light, with platinum blonde hair that was so blonde, it was almost white. Her eyes were a deep green. She was light; this man was dark. But Blaire laughed at his comment. “Cassandra, Jordyn, this Sebastian, my son.” His eyes were still locked on me. He nodded. “Pleasure,” he said. Then he picked up his wine glass and took a swig. He placed it back down and made a sweeping motion with his hand. “Welcome to….all this.” “They’ll be joining us tomorrow night for the Masquerade Ball,” Blaire continued as the waiters set down another course. Filet mignon with a side of asparagus. “Lucky them,” Sebastion said sarcastically. “Come now, love,” Blaire said, her voice light. “You used to love the masquerade ball.” “Love is fleeting,” he replied, turning his eyes to Blai

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 373: Sebastian

    Cassandra’s POV An hour later, we were seated at a formal dining table with more waiters attending to us than a full out gala. Jordyn and I had been given the grand tour of the palace, or well, part of it. The important parts, according to Blaire. We’d seen the rest tomorrow. Then we’d been sent to our separate rooms to dress for dinner. I’d chosen a long, floor length gown and Jordyn had chosen a crisp, black suit. We both looked quite dapper, if I did say so myself. Rhett had escorted us to the dining hall, which was bigger than our entire new office back home. Everything about the palace felt larger than life, and I had to literally stop myself from walking around with my mouth hanging wide open in awe. Jordyn had laughed several times at the Blaire’s strange way of speaking. She’d called me a sun-kissed daisy in the rain, whatever that meant. But I told Jordyn he’d get used to it. It’s just the way Blaire was. And sure enough, but by the

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 372: The Palace

    Cassandra’s POV “Come on. What else do we have going on? It’s a palace!” I’d hung up with Blaire Montgomery, who had learned that I was in Paris and called me immediately. It hadn’t even occurred to me to call her to tell her that I’d be in town. Of course, she insisted that we both come and visit her. She was sending a car for us first thing tomorrow morning. All I had to do was text her the address of my villa. I told her we could only stay a couple of nights. She’d said it was better than nothing. Jordyn was hesitant though. “You barely know her,” he said. “And now you want to get in a car with some stranger and go god knows where?” “I do know her,” I protested. “She’s a client and a friend. I had lunch with her a while back in the city when she was there for some sort of gala. She’s a riot, really. A wonderful person. And she’s a dutchess. She’s legit royalty, Jordyn. Stop making it sound like she’s some sort of mu

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 371: Paris Cassandra

    Cassandra’s POV I felt positively giddy when we left the store front. “Let’s go shopping,” I said, taking Jordyn’s hand. I’d been a billionaire for a few months now, but I hadn’t really bought anything significant. What did I need to buy? Stanley had left me his estate and a yacht. I’d bought some new furniture for the estate, and some clothes, but other than that, my money had pretty much sat in the bank. I didn’t realize how good it felt to spend a shit ton of money. The realtor said she would reach out to the client to see if they were willing to sell. “Make them an offer they can’t refuse,” I said flippantly. “And call me as soon as you have.” Then we shook hands and Jordyn and I left. “Cassandra,” Jordyn said. “I’m not sure you need to BUY the place. I mean, what if it doesn’t work out or…” “Then I’ll own a beautiful store in the most beautiful city in the world and I’ll find somet

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 370: Mona Lisa

    Cassandra’s POV “I don’t get it,” I said, my head tilted to the side. We were in the Louvre staring at the Mona Lisa. The iconic painting was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It looked far less imposing than I’d imagined. “Don’t get what?” Jordyn asked. “I guess I don’t get why this painting is so famous,” I said. “I mean, the woman’s kinda ugly. Don’t you think?” “It has something to do with her smile,” Jordyn said, leaning in close and dropping his voice to a whisper. “No one knows what she’s smiling at. It’s like she has a secret.” I stared at the painting again, but I just didn’t see it. Needless to say, of all the famous paintings we’d seen that day, the Mona Lisa was NOT one of my favorites. We left the ugly lady painting and strolled off to look at some more art. But I glanced at my watch as we passed some paintings by an artist I’d never heard of. To my surprise, our realtor had c

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 369: Parisian Air

    Cassandra’s POV Two days into our Paris adventure, and I was smitten with the city. It felt like everywhere I turned, there was a new surprise. Including my amazing villa! Jordyn and I decided to stay at the villa because why not? And the moment I saw it, I was happy we had. It was…Parisian at its finest, with beautiful architecture, a sitting parlour, and five stunning bedrooms. It was right in the heart of the city too and – get this – it had a view of the Eiffel tower. Jordyn and I sat out on the balcony our first night there and marveled at lights of the tower. It lit up at night, something I hadn’t known about, and it looked positively magical. I couldn’t get enough of everything, from the cobblestone streets to the cute little cafes to the art museums. There was something about the air in Paris. It just smelled different, fresher, more full of possibilities. “Would you stop sniffing the air like a craz
