Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire Chapter 92: Elite Platinum Card
Cassandra’s POVI was speechless when the staff set down the Earl Gray lace at my feet.“There’s been a mistake,” I told the staff. “I was outbid. This isn’t mine.”But just then, Jordyn’s voice ripped through the air, declaring that he’d bought the fabric for me.“What the hell?” Stella asked as all eyes turned to Jordyn. The room fell silent and I was painfully aware that everyone was staring at us.This didn’t make any sense. Why would he buy ME the fabric? Clearly Ellie wanted it. She shot daggers at me with her eyes as I struggled to understand what had just happened.Then I realized…he was just showing off. He was being arrogant. That had to be it. Why else would he spend a fortune on this lace and then give it to me? He was being his usual jerk self.“Why did you do that?” Ellie asked, her voice high and tight. Jordyn waved her off, his eyes fixed on our table.I glanced down at the lace. It was even more beautiful up close. I resisted the urge to reach out and fondle the delica

Jordyn’s POV At first, I was stunned. I couldn’t believe Cassandra hadn’t accepted my gift! Couldn’t she see that I was only trying to help her? She was an assistant for crying out loud. She couldn’t afford to spend fifteen thousand dollars on a roll of fabric.I knew from the moment she saw the lace that she wanted it. I didn’t really know much about the lace, but I knew it was rare and I could see the look in her eyes. So when she started the bidding, I knew what I had to do. I would win the lace for her. I didn’t know what she wanted to do with it. I mean, she wasn’t exactly a designer herself or anything. Maybe she planned on getting someone to make her a dress? It didn’t matter. All that mattered was that she wanted the lace and I was in a position to give it to her.But when the staff placed it down at her feet, she refused to accept it!Anger boiled up inside me. Ellie was yipping away at my side, complaining about what I’d just done. Ellie assumed I was buying the lace for her

Cassandra’s POV Stella and I ran down the cruise ship hallway, giddy, with the roll of fabric tucked under my arm.“That was fucking fantastic!” Stella giggled as we ran. “Did you see the look on Jordyn’s face when you whipped out that card? It was priceless!”I giggled along with her. I’d seen his face all right and it had given me more satisfaction than I could put into words. We opened our cabin door and dropped off the roll of fabric. I gave it a loving little pat before we left to head back to the banquet gala.Stella saw me pat the roll of fabric and rolled her eyes teasingly.“Don’t worry,” she said, wrapping her arm around my waist. “It’s all yours now. It’s not going anywhere.”The banquet was taking place in another room, a grand room with a dance floor and tables upon tables of food. Dillon and Cam had claimed a table near one of the food tables. They waved us over. We rushed towards them, my face plastered in a euphoric smile.I felt like I’d done it. Like I’d finally put

Jordyn’s POV I saw Cassandra the moment I walked into the banquet. She was sitting with that damned boyfriend of hers again, and I watched as various people approached her table. They were networking with Stella, since she owned Hot House Flower, but I couldn’t help notice that Cassandra was basking in all the attention. She collected their business cards and tucked them away into her purse. Stella had mentioned that Cassandra had taken over some of the chief designer’s duties while she was away on personal leave. I was proud of Cassandra for stepping up and taking on more responsibility. I hoped it didn’t go to her head though. The Hot House Flower Chief Designer would be back soon enough and Cassandra would have to step back down to her assistant position.In the meantime, though, it looked like Cassandra was having the time of her life. I sat at a table, absently chewing on my filet mignon and crab legs. I was approached too by my fair share of business execs, and I was polite and

Jordyn’s POVI couldn’t fucking believe it. I squinted. Maybe I’d made a mistake. Maybe it wasn’t Ellie. I mean, was she really that brazen? To sneak around on a cruise ship and kiss another man right under my nose?But her head turned slightly then and there was no denying it was her. He had his hands wrapped in her hair. They were really going at it. I could even hear their little moans of pleasure and kissing sounds from where I stood.Who the hell was this man? I couldn’t see because his back was turned to me. I stood in the shadows, watching them make out, not even twenty feet away from me. He grabbed her waist then and turned her around, pushing her against the wall. It was only then that I saw his face.It was Brock. That weasel. He was an executive from one of our competitors. I’d always felt like something was off with him. I’d even suspected that he and Ellie had something going a few times. I saw the way he looked at her once during a business event. But I pushed the though

Cassandra’s POVStella and I had more business cards than we knew what to do with. By the end of the banquet, I was feeling pretty wiped so I decided to go for a walk to get some fresh air. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the amazing night and all the incredible things that had happened. Stella, Dillon, and Cameron decided to go to a late night karaoke bar. I told them I’d meet up with them in a bit.The night was stunning. I mused at the star-speckled stars and the dark, expansive water below. The air was comfortable with a warm breeze blowing off the water. The deck was fairly empty, with just a few people strolling by. But as I approached the front of the deck, I heard someone sniffling.I turned to see a woman crouched near the railing, her knees drawn up to her chest, her head in her hands. As I approached, I recognized her from that afternoon. She was Brock’s wife, the man who was having the affair with Ellie.Her exasperated sighs and tear-stained face could only mean o
Last Updated : 2025-02-20Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire Chapter 98: Ellie’s Attack
Jordyn’s POV I had marched away from Ellie, furious that she’d cheated on me and even more furious that she wouldn’t just own up and admit. But there was something about her behaviour that had me worried. So I stayed around and watched her from a place in the shadows where she couldn’t see me.More and more lately, Ellie had been showing signs of being unhinged. Her frequent temper tantrums and sudden outbursts had me worried. I was really pissed at her, but something inside of me told me to stay. Perhaps it was a sixth sense, or intuition.She and Brock talked for a moment in whispered tones. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but judging by the looks on their faces, they were both angry with one another. I didn’t blame Brock for being mad at Ellie; she’d tried to throw him under the bus, claiming that he had coerced her into the affair and she was innocent in all this.Ellie was a far cry from innocent. She was a fucking train wreck, destroying everything in her path. How could

Jordyn’s POV“Oh my God! Cassandra!”I whipped my head towards the loud male voice that had just ripped through the air and saw that it was Dillon. He had appeared out of nowhere. I tried to get loose from Ellie’s grip but she held me back.“Please, help me,” Cassandra cried out. She was gripping the railing, but even from where I stood, I could see that she was losing her grip. Dillon barreled towards us just as one of Cassandra’s hands slipped. She was now only holding on with one hand. Her body flailed in the wind. Any moment now, she’d lose her grip and go cascading into the dark water below.“Hold on,” I hollered, my voice breaking.Dillon blew past us and leaned over the railing.“It’s okay, Cass,” he said, his voice surprisingly steady. “I got you.”I watched as he pulled her up and over the railing. They collapsed onto the deck. Ellie let go of me and glared at Cassandra and Dillon. Just then, Cameron arrived, followed by security personnel.“We came looking for you when you

Cassandra’s POVI waited with breath held for Dr. Forter to tell me about Dillon. Cameron and Stella appeared behind him and came to join me.“He’s out of surgery,” the doctor said. “We were able to extract the bullet cleanly. Thankfully, it didn’t hit any major organs. He’s stable, for now. But he’s lost a lot of blood so we’re monitoring him closely.”His words were like heaven to my ears.“Stable?” I asked. “That’s good, right?”“It is,” the doctor smiled. “He’s not completely out of the woods yet, so to speak. But it looks very promising at the moment. It’s a good thing he got here when he did.”“Can I see him?” I asked. I felt an enormous weight lifting off my chest. I’d feared the worst, we all had. I’d been terrified that the doctor was going to come and tell us that Dillon hadn’t made it. But now that he was stable, my mind immediately turned to thoughts of seeing him.“You can, yes. But not quite yet. He’s still waking up from surgery.”“I want to see him too,” Cameron quipped

Cassandra’s POVWe did our best to pass the time but it felt like the clock was moving backwards. Jordyn went to get us some food, and when he came back, we couldn’t help but chuckle. He dumped an armload of vending machine crap onto the table.“What did you do?” Cameron asked, “Rob every vending machine in the hospital?”“I didn’t know what anyone wanted,” he told us, suddenly sheepish at the mass amounts of chips, chocolates, and candies he’d purchased.“Thank you,” I told him. I knew it was his way of helping. None of us knew what to do, really, as we waited there in that room. Jordyn was at least trying to feed us.Stella reached for some chips and tore open the bag.“Cassandra? What’s your poison?” Cameron asked me. I was sitting, my knees nervously bouncing up and down. “Chocolate? Gummies?”I shook my head. “I’m not hungry,” I told them. Food was the last thing on my mind. Dillon had been in surgery for over two hours now. Several other people waiting had been called away, one b
Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire Chapter 127: Surgery
Cassandra’s POVBeep. Beep. Beep.The red line gave way to little peaks again.“We have a pulse,” one of the paramedics said.“You mean? It worked? He’s…okay?”I let out a massive sigh of relief. I watched his heart beating on the machine. His heart had stopped. He had…he had died. I stared at the machine, studying the tiny peaks, as though, at any moment, they might betray us and flatline again. “His pulse is still weak, but he’s stabilized. ETA to the hospital?” one of the paramedics asked the driver.“Three minutes,” the driver said, as the ambulance lurched to the left in a hard turn.It had worked. Dillon’s heart had stopped and they’d restarted it. If they hadn’t come when they had, if they had been even a little while longer…Dillon would have died in that room in the warehouse. Without their machine, we wouldn’t have been able to resuscitate him.“Thank you,” I whispered.“We’re just doing our jobs,” one of them smiled kindly at me. “You can hold his hand again.”I felt so muc
Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire Chapter 126: He’s flatlining
Cassandra’s POVThe ambulance tore off down the streets, sirens blaring. I sat on my seat beside Dillon’s stretcher. I felt like I was in the way. The paramedics went to work, trying to stabilize Dillon, they told me. He had an oxygen mask clamped over his face. His face was white as a ghost. They put a tiny thing on his finger to monitor his heartbeat.“Can I…can I hold his hand?” I asked, my face wet with tears. I wanted to wrap my arms around him and hold him. I wanted to stroke his hair. But I didn’t want to get in the way of whatever they were doing. “Of course,” one of them smiled kindly at me. I took Dillon’s limp hand in mine and squeezed it. His hand was so cold it made my stomach drop. “Will he…will he be okay?” I asked.One of the paramedics looked me in the eyes.“We’re doing everything we can,” he said.I didn’t like that answer. I wanted to hear, ‘yes, of course, he’ll be just fine.’ The vague response only made me feel even more uneasy.How had we come to this? I wonde

Cassandra’s POVEverything happened so fast. It was like a blur.The paramedics rushed at us, asking me to step aside. They removed Dillon from my lap and tore open his shirt. Blood squirted from the hole in his stomach. I felt weak in my knees. I gasped and covered my mouth.They started firing questions at us.“When was he shot? How long ago? Does he have any pre-existing conditions? Any allergies? How long has he been unconscious?”Stella and I tried to answer their questions as best we could, but I was so panicked I could barely speak.“He was shot about three minutes ago?” Stella said. “He just passed out, moments before you got here. We’ve been applying pressure to the wound. He doesn’t have any allergies. He’s healthy.”“What’s his name?” one of the paramedics said.“Dillon,” Stella said.“Dillon? Can you hear me? I’m a first responder. Dillon?” the paramedic asked. Then he glanced up at the other paramedic.“Pulse is 124. He’s gone into shock. He’s lost a lot of blood. We need

Cassandra’s POV“Dillon!” The scream escaped my lips before I could stop it. Dillon hunched over, his face contorted in pain. He clutched his stomach.I couldn’t believe it! Ellie had shot him. She’d actually shot Dillon!“What have you done?” Stella hollered at Ellie. I glanced at Ellie. She was holding the gun in her shaky hand, looking as shocked as we all were.“I…oh my god…I,” Ellie stammered. I rushed to Dillon just as Jordyn charged at Ellie. Jordyn grabbed her wrist and she gave up the gun.Just then, we were sirens wailing in the distance. Finally, the police were coming. And just in time.“Call an ambulance,” Stella cried out, also rushing towards Dillon. Blood was gushing out of his stomach. His hands were covered in his own blood. He looked at me, his face growing paler by the moment. I no longer cared about Ellie. The room swam in my vision. The only thing I cared about in that moment was Dillon.“Dillon?” I asked. He stumbled and I knew he was going to collapse so I tried

Dillon’s POVThe moment we pulled up to the abandoned warehouse, a surge of adrenaline rushed through me. Ellie’s sweater was still lying in a heap on the ground where she’d carelessly tossed it aside. We glanced around, but there was nothing in sight. No other people, no other cars.“They must be inside,” Jordyn said, heading to a door. I motioned for everyone to be quiet with the tip of my finger. If Ellie was inside with the girls, I wanted us to be stealth, so as not to tip her off with our arrival. I didn’t want to give her a chance to escape.The door creaked open and we found ourselves inside a dark corridor. There were several other doors, all leading to other rooms. We walked quietly down the hall, peaking into the rooms, but there was nothing.Then, suddenly, I heard the sound of a voice. “We won’t let you do this!”“Stella,” Cameron said, recognizing the voice. We all tore off down the hall towards the voice. I was in the lead and soon enough, we came t

Cassandra’s POV“I don’t understand,” I said, shaking my head. “If you planned it all out, then how did I end up in the right car?”“That’s what I’ve always wondered,” Ellie said, her jaw tight.I searched my mind, trying to remember that night, and slowly, the memories came back to me.Yes, I had been at the bar that night. I remembered because when I woke up the next morning to watch the news, Ellie’s car accident was the top story. Woman runs a red light. I could still see the headlines.I remembered it now because I’d thought, at the time: ‘I drove right down the same street as her accident, only ten minutes before her.’Ellie had blown right through a red light, t-boning an on-coming car and smashing into a cement wall. It was because her brakes had failed, I realized now.But as I’d sat there, watching the news story, my heart had hurt for her. Car accidents had always scared me and I hated hearing about them. The people that she’d t-boned had been okay. Ellie was not though, tha
Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire Chapter 121: The Car Accident
Cassandra’s POV “Dillon!” I cried out. His face scanned the room, his eyes wild. Jordyn and Cameron both appeared behind him. “Cassandra,” he said, taking a step. But I stopped him. “Watch out. She has a gun,” I hollered. I had no idea how the men had found us. Cameron had tried to tail the black car, but it had lost him. I’d never been so relieved to see any one in my whole life though. However, my relief was short-lived. It quickly gave way to fear. “No,” I said, shaking my hand. “Get out of here. All of you!” I didn’t want them here. Ellie had a gun and she had completely lost her mind. I was terrified that seeing Jordyn, Cameron, and Dillon would set her off and she’d start firing at us. The men all whipped their heads towards Ellie. She was in the corner of the room, a shocked look on her face. “What the fuck?” she said. “How did you find us?” “That picture you sent of Stella bound t
