Ruthless Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret CH.110
MAISIEI blinked, startled by their sudden departure.My gaze shifted to Dame, who was lounging nearby with a bored expression."Dumb and dumber," she muttered, rolling her eyes. "I bet they’re running off to find something for you."Her sarcasm made my cheeks flush with embarrassment. "That’s not what I want," I protested weakly, scratching the back of my head.Dame smirked, clearly enjoying my discomfort.My attention drifted to Karina.She was walking toward us, completely soaked with water dripping from her hair and down her floral bikini.The sight of her brought Miriam’s earlier words rushing back to me, and my imagination began to spiral.I pictured it so clearly—Karina sitting beside Jason, laughing, leaning close, asking him to dry her hair.No. I couldn’t let that happen!I stood abruptly, my movements clumsy and rushed. "Jason, can I talk to you in private?" I blurted.Jason looked up from the book he’d been reading—a book I hadn’t even noticed until now. He studied me for

MAISIEI flinched, trying to pull my hand away.Jason refused to let go. His gaze turned cold as he looked at Felix. "Her hand, not yours. What do you care?" His tone was sharp.Felix’s jaw tightened."I stumbled," I said quickly, trying to diffuse the tension. "He was just helping me stand."Felix grabbed my arm. "I’ll help you," he announced with determination. "Jason can go to Karina. She’s been looking for him anyway."I froze, caught between them.My gaze darted between Felix and Jason, who had stepped closer, his expression darkening. Neither of them seemed willing to let me go. Their grips tightened like I was some kind of prize they refused to share."Let her go!" Jason’s tone was laced with warning.Felix scoffed. "Why should I? She doesn’t need you hovering around her all the time."The tugging started—gentle at first, but it quickly escalated. They both pulled me toward their sides as if I were a toy they were fighting over.My frustration bubbled over. I opened my mouth to

MAISIEThe rest of the day passed in a blur. We spent most of it at the hotel’s indoor pool.I didn’t see Felix or Klay, which was a relief. Karina, unfortunately, was still around, but at least she kept her distance from Jason.By evening, I was back in my room, standing on the balcony. The sky was painted in shades of orange and pink as the sun sunk slowly into the horizon.I glanced down at the tennis court below, where Jason and Don were playing a match. For a moment, I let myself imagine what life could’ve been like if things were different—if there were no secrets, no complications.It was a beautiful dream, but I knew I’d have to wake up eventually.Still, I couldn’t resist.I left my room and headed down to the court, taking a seat on one of the benches. Watching them play, seeing the smiles on their faces filled me with a bittersweet kind of happiness.After a while, the game ended, and they walked over to me. Just as they reached my side, I felt someone sit down behind me.I

MAISIEJason’s expression was soft and reassuring. “It’s really bad for you to smoke away from me.”Good. That meant no problem.I tried lighting the cigarette, but the sea breeze kept extinguishing the flame. After a few futile attempts, I gave up with a sigh and pulled the cigarette from my lips, looking up at Jason involuntarily.He was watching me. No—he was studying me.Then he stepped closer, took the cigarette and lighter from my hands and placed the thin roll back between my lips. Next, he slid his hand behind my neck and gently pulled me closer, stopping when my head was level with his chest.I froze, watching him in stunned silence as he grabbed the right side of his coat and wrapped it around both of us, shielding the lighter from the wind. His movements were smooth, practiced, and almost too effortless.With one flick, the cigarette lit perfectly.I took a long drag of the cigarette and inhaled deeply. The smoke curled between my lips as I straightened my posture.My gaze

MAISIEDame offered to take me with her when we finally reached the cars.This decision came after a rather ridiculous argument between Klay and Felix over who I should ride with.Dame had stepped in and decided for me, much to my relief.Klay ended up riding with us, while Felix convinced Don to ride with him. As for Jason… well, he drove off with Karina.The thought of them alone together made my stomach churn, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that this evening might not be as fun as I had imagined.We arrived at the amusement park shortly after. I stepped out of the car and stared in awe at the colorful lights decorating every inch of the place. The rides loomed large against the night sky, their vibrant colors glowing in the dark. But something felt off—there was no one else here except for the workers.“Did he really rent the entire park?” I murmured to myself, still trying to process it.The sounds of the rides whirring to life filled Miriam with excitement. She couldn’t wait t

MAISIEI thought he wouldn’t answer for a moment.“I’ve tried,” Jason finally responded. “I’ve tried everything I could think of to make things right with him. But it didn’t matter.”He let out a short, bitter chuckle. “He sees me as the reason for everything wrong in his life. Because our father chose me over him. I didn’t ask for that. I didn’t want it.”I stayed quiet, letting him speak. His words felt heavy like they’d been bottled up for far too long.“I apologized,” he continued, staring out at the lights now. “Over and over again. In every way I knew how. But he wouldn’t hear it. And the worst part?” He paused and his jaw tightened. “He was the only real family I had. The only one who understood what it was like to grow up in that house. And now… there’s no one.”My chest ached for him, the raw pain in his voice cutting through me. “It wasn’t your fault,” I said, hoping he’d believe me.Jason shook his head with a humorless smile tugging at his lips. “Fault doesn’t matter. Not

MAISIEI gasped, holding onto the bars for dear life. It felt like we were being tossed around in a storm. The dizziness from earlier was nothing compared to this.My arms trembled from the strain of holding on, and I let out a ragged gasp when the ride finally stopped. Everyone looked disheveled, like a hurricane had swept through.I stood up, intending to check on Don, but the ride lurched again before I could take a step.I stumbled, my balance completely gone. Panic shot through me as I felt myself falling. Fortunately, a strong, tattooed arm wrapped around me and yanked me into a firm lap.The familiar cologne enveloped my nostrils before I even saw his face.Jason.His grip was firm, holding me securely as the ride continued its chaotic movements.He caught me every time I started to slip. My heart pounded in my chest. I wasn’t sure if it was from the ride or the way he was holding me.I straightened up when the ride finally ended, my legs shaky beneath me.I turned toward Don a

Miriam hurried to drag over her suitcase. She started rifling through my clothes and hers for what felt like forever, tossing rejected options on the floor. Finally, she pulled out a black swimsuit and held it up against me, her head tilting as she visually measured it.“This is perfect,” she declared. “Bought it for the trip, didn’t you?”I hesitated, brushing my fingers over the fabric. “Yeah, but Jason warned me not to wear anything too revealing. Out of respect, I didn’t. Honestly, I felt bad not trying it on, but now…” I trailed off, glancing at her.“Now you’re glad you have it,” Miriam finished for me with a sly smile on her face.I took the swimsuit from her, my nerves bubbling to the surface. “But what if he doesn’t mean swimming? What if I show up looking ridiculous?”Miriam rolled her eyes and pulled out a little black dress with a low back and a thigh-high slit. “Put this over it. If he wants to swim, you can take it off. Just don’t get my dress wet!”I nodded, clutching t

MAISIEI froze, then rushed closer to her. "Lily, what did you say? Say it again!"She placed her tiny palm on my cheek."Amma!"It wasn't perfect, but it was close enough. After months of trying, she'd finally said something resembling "Mama."Joy exploded through me like fireworks. I started bouncing up and down, unable to contain my excitement."She said it! She said 'Mama'! Did you hear that? She called me 'Mama'!" I shouted, throwing my arms wide and then forming a big heart shape with them for Lily.Suddenly, I realized I hadn't captured this momentous occasion. "Wait, I need my camera! This is important!"I started frantically searching through my bag. "Don't say anything else until Mama comes back with the camera, okay?" I called over my shoulder as I dug through my belongings.I've always been one to wear my emotions openly, especially happiness. After everything I'd been through in my life, I'd promised myself I would never downplay joy when it came my way. I would celebrate

MAISIEI was making my way back from checking on Don and his friends who were busy taking photos and being typical teenagers when Lily suddenly began squirming in my arms, making urgent sounds and pointing.Don had asked us to keep his relationship with Jason private at school. As far as his classmates knew, Jason was just his stepfather, the school principal who had married his mom.I understood his need for privacy; teenage social dynamics were complicated enough without adding that layer.Lily's movements became more insistent, drawing my attention back to her. She was staring fixedly at something, her little body practically vibrating with excitement.Following her gaze, I realized we were standing near the elephant enclosure. A massive African elephant was resting in the shade of a large tree, separated from us by sturdy metal bars and a deep moat.I moved closer to the viewing area, and Lily immediately grabbed onto the bars, her eyes wide with wonder as she took in the enormous

MAISIEI turned back to face her, noting the familiar look of contempt that always appeared whenever Karina's name came up.Miriam had disliked her from the start, but her hatred had intensified after I'd explained the full story of how Karina had conspired with Jason's brother Jared, how she'd betrayed years of friendship with Jason just to trap him in a relationship."What's she done now?" I asked, not entirely sure I wanted to know.My feelings toward Karina were complicated. For a long time, I'd seen her as nothing but a manipulative obstacle standing between Jason and me. Then, during our final confrontation, I'd glimpsed something else—a young woman crushed under the weight of family expectations and desperate choices.However, that brief moment of sympathy had evaporated when Jason finally told me everything. The extent of her deception, the calculated way she'd worked with Jared to keep Jason tied to her... I'd never wished anyone ill except for Jared, but Karina had earned a

MAISIE"It's okay, sweet girl," I murmured, holding Lily close as our car pulled away from the driveway.Her eyes were still watery, her little chest occasionally hitching with the aftermath of tears. She'd been crying for Don, who had left earlier with Chen and their friend to meet us at the zoo.Don had snuck out while Lily was distracted with her toys, but she'd noticed his absence almost immediately. It was almost comical how both her father and brother would try to slip away unnoticed, terrified of upsetting a twenty-month-old."Come on, Lily," I said brightly, trying to distract her. "Say 'Mama'!"I'd been trying to coax her first words for weeks now. However, she seemed determined to take her time.The pediatrician assured us it was normal. Some children were simply more observant before they started speaking still I couldn't help feeling a little anxious.Lily ignored my prompting, becoming fascinated with the buttons on my jacket instead. She leaned forward, her chubby finger

MAISIEThe next morning, I emerged from a quick shower and headed to the dressing room to get ready for the day.I'd passed by Lily's room earlier and found both her and Jason still asleep, though she had somehow migrated onto his chest, her favorite sleeping position since she was born.Whenever she was with one of us while sleeping, she'd inevitably crawl up and settle herself on our chest, her ear pressed against our heartbeat.I pulled on ripped jeans, a white tank top, and a soft gray blazer, then headed back to the nursery, eager to tell Jason about his unprecedented night of sleep.When I reached Lily's room, the bed was empty. I found them on the other side of the room, where Jason was sitting on the floor with Lily in his lap, carefully putting tiny shoes on her feet.She looked adorable in a white sundress, her hair tamed into two small pigtails.I was about to speak when Don appeared behind me with Lily's sippy cup of milk in his hand."Time for breakfast, everyone," he ann

MAISIE~A couple of years later~I gave birth to the most beautiful little girl in the world two years after our wedding. We named her Lily, after Jason's mother. Sometimes I call her Lil when she's being especially cute, which is pretty much all the time.It was actually my suggestion to name her after his mother. I knew it would make Jason happy, and it truly did. The way his eyes lit up when I proposed it—that moment alone was worth it.Now she's one year and eight months old, toddling around our home with a determination that makes us all smile.Lily has filled our lives—mine, Jason's, and Don's—with a kind of joy I never knew existed. Her little voice, still forming words but full of expression, makes the whole house feel alive. She's become the unexpected glue that has truly brought our family together.Don had accepted my relationship with his father, but in those early days after the wedding, he still spent most of his time with his best friend.He was trying to adjust to this

MAISIEThe moment we appeared, the guests rose to their feet, turning to watch our approach.I saw familiar faces on both sides of the aisle—colleagues from work, parents from Don's school.Miriam stood in the front row, her pregnancy now visible beneath her flowing dress, tears already streaming down her face as she clutched Nathan's hand.But my eyes were drawn inexorably to Jason, waiting for me beneath the arch.The look on his face as he watched me approach… wonder, joy, love so intense it was almost painful to witness made everything else fade away.In that moment, it was just the two of us, connected by an invisible thread that had been drawing us together since our first meeting.Don and I moved slowly down the aisle, each step bringing me closer to my future. The weight of my son's arm beneath my hand was both grounding and symbolic. He wasn't just giving me away; he was walking with me into our new life.When we reached the front, the officiant smiled warmly at us. "Who give

MAISIEThe moment I stepped on the back porch, the world seemed to pause. Across the lawn where rows of white chairs arranged in a semicircle. Wildflowers in shades of blue, purple, and white lined the aisle—the same flowers that grew naturally along the stream at the property's edge, now woven into garlands that transformed our backyard into an enchanted garden.Jason squeezed my hand once before releasing it. Then he moved ahead to take his place at the simple arch we'd constructed from twisted branches and adorned with more wildflowers and fairy lights that would twinkle as evening approached.His best man, Klay, stood beside him, while Felix and the rest of Jason’s friends lingered a few feet away. Dressed in sleek black silk suits, they exuded an air of refined elegance, each one strikingly handsome in their own way.I took a deep breath, steadying myself in the quiet moment before everything would begin.The subtle scent of my bouquet—wildflowers mixed with sprigs of lavender—he

MAISIEWe lay tangled together afterward.Jason’s weight was a welcome pressure on top of me and his heartbeat was strong against my chest, gradually slowing to match my own.My ring caught the candlelight and sent prisms dancing across his sweat-dampened skin like tiny rainbows that seemed a fitting metaphor for the joy that filled me.Eventually, Jason shifted to the side and gathered me on him so that my head rested on his chest with his arm a protective band around my waist.Outside, the night had deepened, but inside our sanctuary, time seemed suspended in amber like the honey that still faintly flavored our kisses."When did you plan all this?" I asked, tracing idle patterns through the light dusting of hair on his chest.His fingers combed through my hair, gentle and soothing, occasionally working through tangles with careful attention. "I bought the ring before our trip to Greendale," he admitted, the rumble of his voice vibrating against my ear.I nodded.Tears slipped from t
