Ruthless Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret CH.138
MAISIEPanic surged through me.I rushed to the entrance of the living room, moving quickly to block his way."When I put up with you, it’s because I don’t want to lose you. The day you should worry is the day I stop putting up with you."Jason stepped forward, intending to walk past me. I moved again, shifting my foot to block the doorway.His eyes darkened with frustration, but I didn’t care."You treat my feelings like they’re nothing," I accused. "Like I’m just being ridiculous. But I meant every word."Jason didn’t respond.Didn’t argue.Didn’t push me aside.He just stood there, silent, unreadable.And that silence only made my heart ache more.Did he not believe me?Did he not want to believe me?Or was he simply too afraid to?But I wasn’t going to back down.Not now.Not when I had so much left to prove.His sudden movement made me flinch."Why are you so stubborn?" His voice was sharp, filled with frustration.I swallowed hard. My tongue darted over my lower lip in hesitatio

MAISIENearly an hour passed. The room was quiet, interrupted only by the gentle hum of the videos playing. Clip after clip, memory after memory. And then, the last one—Don at five months old.The video lasted only twenty seconds, but it felt weightier than the rest. I watched as his tiny fingers reached for the camera, his toothless grin filling the screen. A single moment was frozen in time.I turned to Jason, feeling the weight of unspoken words between us. He met my gaze, his expression unreadable.“After the first lie, every truth becomes questionable. Be honest with me, and you’ll never find me cruel... no matter how much your honesty might hurt me.”The words settled deep in me, heavier than they should have been.I reached for his hand and rested my palm against his.His warmth seeped into my skin, grounding me.“I promise,” I whispered, “I will always be honest with you.”His fingers curled around mine, his grip firm yet comforting.There are some people who bring light into

MAISIEA sly smile tugged at the corner of Jason’s lips."What do you mean?" I asked. “I, that’s…” I fumbled for words, unable to explain myself properly.The way he looked at me made it impossible to think straight. "Just… cook. Weren’t you the one complaining about me being hungry? The food’s going to take forever, you pervert," I muttered, looking away to avoid his gaze.Jason’s chuckle was soft but amused, and I could feel his eyes lingering on me.Dinner passed quietly after that, with only the sound of utensils scraping against plates filling the room.When we were done, Jason excused himself to the bathroom, leaving me alone. I stepped out on the back doorstep and lit a cigarette as I stared out into the patio.The rain hadn’t stopped, though it had eased into a light drizzle. The air smelled fresh, earthy, and alive. I exhaled a plume of smoke, watching it dissipate in the damp air.My bare feet were already soaked from stepping on the wet grass, but I didn’t mind.I dropped t

MAISIEI hugged Jason’s arm tightly, a wave of happiness washing over me. I couldn’t describe how much it meant to finally have him back. There might be others who look like him, but I know I’d never find a heart like his. Jason wasn’t just one in a million, he was one of a kind. Our history was marked by pain and betrayal, yet I forgave him long ago, particularly after understanding the reasons behind his actions.Sometimes you just have to let go. Surrender to the moment and let life pass by as though it doesn’t belong to you.That’s exactly what I was doing now. I wasn’t thinking about the past or worrying about the future. I was simply enjoying his closeness, grateful for this fleeting moment of peace.~Hours later~Miriam called to reassure me that Don was home safe. His vacation was over tomorrow, and he’d be heading back to his studies.My thoughts lingered on him for a moment, picturing his cheerful face as he prepared for another term.A knock on the door interrupted my thoug

MAISIEJared’s tone dripped with malice. “He needs to learn that he’s not the only one who can take from others. If he’s going to steal from me, I’ll take everything from him!”“You’re insane!” I snapped, disgusted by his venomous words. “It’s not Jason’s fault that your father was unfair to you. Why are you so filled with hate?”Jared leaned back, laughing. “You don’t get to judge me. You’re no saint yourself. You lied to him—kept his son from him for years. That’s worse than anything I’ve done.”His words cut deeper than I wanted to admit.He raised an eyebrow and his tone turned mocking. “You didn’t even tell him when you saw them together. That’s cruel, don’t you think?”I swallowed hard. My fingers trembled slightly as I rubbed them together. He knew too much. How much more did he know?“What would you have done in my place?” I asked quietly.Jared’s eyes gleamed with cold amusement. “Exactly what you did,” he said icily.I greeted my teeth, hating every second of this conversati

MAISIEI crossed the street, my heart racing as I approached Jason’s car.He was leaning back in the driver’s seat, wearing a tight black shirt that hugged his toned figure.His blue jeans completed the effortlessly attractive look, and I couldn’t help but smile.My cheeks were warm as I turned to face him after sliding into the passenger seat. “Hey.”“Hey,” he replied warmly.I threw my coat in the back seat and buckled my seatbelt.“How was your day, my butterfly?” His voice was soft and it made me smile warmly. But my smile faltered the second I noticed the bandage wrapped around his right hand.“Jason…” I began with worry.He caught my gaze and shook his head lightly as if to reassure me. “A guest came to visit me today,” he said casually, resting his injured hand on the steering wheel. “I was just saying hello to him. You don’t have to worry.”Guest? My stomach twisted. Did he mean his brother?“Jason,” I said hesitantly, my fingers fidgeting in my lap. “I want to tell you someth

MAISIEDon was at the counter, focused on chopping green onions. Cooking wasn’t a task I assigned to him, he just enjoyed it. It was how he passed the time. Like father like son.My mind drifted back to my conversation with Jason in the car earlier. I hadn’t said a word. In a way, he was right… Don would uncover the truth sooner or later, whether we told him or not. Some things were simply inevitable.“Have you been with Miriam then your babysitter all day?” I asked, slipping into one of the chairs at the kitchen island.“Almost,” he replied, not looking up from his work. “Mr. Harding invited me to have lunch at his place.”I studied him, wondering what he really thought of Jason. Don was never one to judge people on the surface, but he was careful. Very careful about who he let in.“How do you find Jason?” I asked, treading carefully. “I mean… I think he’s a good person. What about you?”He paused for a moment as if weighing his words, then resumed chopping. “I appreciate that he tak

MAISIEI crossed the street. The cool night air brushed against my skin as I approached Jason’s house. Just as I raised my hand to knock, the door swung open.I froze with my fingers still suspended in the air.Jason grabbed me by the wrist before I could respond, pulled me inside, and swiftly shut the door behind us.My back pressed against the wood as he held me there, his grip firm yet familiar.My breath hitched. Not in fear, but in surprise.It took only seconds for the confusion to fade, replaced by something warmer. Nostalgia. Yearning.We had only been apart for a few hours, yet it had felt like an eternity.“You were waiting for me?” I asked barely above a whisper.His answer was a small nod, enough to make me smile. I loved his honesty, especially when it came to moments like this.I had come with a hundred things I wanted to talk about, thoughts that had been racing through my mind all evening. But now, standing here with him so close, every single one of them faded away.I

MAISIEI wiped away the tear that had rolled down my cheek and turned off the microphone. Looking up, I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself.Being an emotional person with so many feelings can be absolute torture sometimes.I gasped when the door suddenly opened only to sigh with relief upon seeing Jason standing there.My coat hung casually over one shoulder, my bag dangling from his hand."Are you done?" I asked, walking toward him."I finished seconds before you spoke on the microphone," he admitted. "I was listening to your words while I was in the corridor."Mentally reviewing everything I'd just said, I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me. Damn the alcohol for loosening my tongue!"Did I say too much?" I asked, my cheeks warming.Jason lifted my coat, holding it open for me to slip my arms through."No," he said softly. "And you know what? I won't hate him even if he despises me to my core. I'll protect him and always stand by his side, even against his will. I'll

MAISIE"I’ve learned to control myself even more when you're with me," Jason murmured, turning his chair to face the computer.His fingers resumed their effortless dance across the keyboard, yet his thoughts were nowhere near the screen. "It feels like my soul is constantly on the verge of escaping, rushing toward you. No matter how much I look at you, it never feels like enough. I memorize the way you move, the way you sit in stillness. Every little detail of you pulls me in, and my heart beats in sync with your smile."He exhaled softly. "I love you so deeply, so fiercely, that I have to hold myself back. Because if I don’t… I might lose myself entirely."If I had to name what we shared, I'd call it a safe relationship. I'd found myself in the hands of a man who saw beyond my physical form, who cherished the essence of who I was.In this era dominated by cravings and instant gratification, the worst thing that could happen would be surrendering to those shallow expectations and beco

MAISIEJason propped his chin in one hand while his fingers danced across the keyboard."Outrageously beautiful!" He glanced at me from the corner of his eye.I placed my foot on one arm of his chair and pulled my hair back with deliberate slowness. The silky strands slipped through my fingers as I held his gaze."Doesn't my outrageous beauty make you feel anything?" My voice came out huskier than intended, betraying my nervousness."Something like what?" He threw his weight on the back of his chair and placed his warm hand on my leg.His touch sent electricity through my skin, making it difficult to maintain my composure.I bit my lower lip, hesitating for several seconds while gathering my courage. The office suddenly felt too warm, too intimate."Jason... do I not excite you?" The words tumbled out before I could reconsider.His eyebrows rose slightly as he began stroking my leg with gentle, circular motions.My heart hammered against my ribs, and confusion clouded my thoughts."Do

MAISIE"What about Don?" Jason quirked an eyebrow, sliding his hands into his pockets elegantly.The realization hit me. Don! How could I forget?I slumped back into my seat dramatically, resting my forehead on the cool surface of the table."I really wanted to go with you," I mumbled, frustration evident in my voice. Something inside me yearned to be near him, like a magnetic pull I couldn't explain or resist.Miriam's gentle hand patted my head. "What kind of friend would I be if I didn't help you get what you want?"I lifted my head, confusion written across my face. "What do you mean?""The audio equipment is rented for today only," Miriam explained, leaning closer with a conspiratorial gleam. "I need to return everything before ten tonight. I'll tell Don he needs to help me because Nathan has a headache. We'll take our time, maybe drive around a bit before I drop him off. You just need to be back before we return.""I don't have a headache!" Nathan protested.Miriam shot him a wa

MAISIEThe atmosphere between the two tables instantly chilled.Klay stood up, his posture rigid with barely contained anger."Follow me!" he commanded Dame:But Dame merely smiled provocatively. "Why?"Her defiance visibly increased his anger. He fixed her with a penetrating stare and said through clenched teeth, "Why?...""Should I care about your anger?" she challenged, lifting her chin.I swallowed nervously, watching the tension escalate between them. I'd never seen this side of their relationship before."Shut your fucking mouth and stand up fast!" Klay growled. His usual composure was completely shattered.Dame matched his intensity with a withering glare. "Stop cursing! You're not the only one who can do that, you ugly motherfucker!"Professor Hunt placed a calming hand on her shoulder. "Wait, Dame... calm down."Klay's gaze zeroed in on the professor's hand like a laser sight. "Get your hand off her!"I looked at Miriam nervously, and she returned the same anxious glance.The

MAISIEI stopped at the door of Nathan's office when I got there. I peered in and saw Jason deeply absorbed in going over some papers, his face furrowed.I knocked softly on the doorframe and adopted a playfully formal tone. "Will you let me in, Principal Harding?" I teased, referencing his serious demeanor.He looked up with his expression immediately softening into a smile. "Come in."I stepped inside before closing the door behind me with a gentle click.Making my way across the room, I settled into the chair across from him while he returned his attention to the papers in his hands."I got you a surprise!" I announced, holding up the plate with a flourish."Surprise, is it a piece of cake?" he replied without looking up, though I could detect a hint of amusement in his voice.I raised my index finger dramatically as if making an important point. "Wrong, it's not just any cake... it's chocolate cake!"His eyes remained fixed on the documents before him. "No, thank you."Disappointm

MAISIEJason stopped briefly to get a bottle of wine on the way to Nathan's place. I was astonished by the label when he came back to the car and gave it to me."You didn't have to!" I exclaimed, examining the expensive bottle."It's not in my nature to arrive empty-handed, butterfly."When we arrived at Nathan's place, I carefully balanced both gifts in my arms as we got out of the car. Even from outside, I could hear Miriam's voice through speakers singing the birthday song.She had mentioned planning something special, but knowing Miriam, I expected something much wilder than whatever was happening here.We made our way directly to the back garden, where the celebration was taking place. As soon as Miriam spotted us, she set down her microphone on the table where Nathan sat and jogged over to greet us.She looked stunning in a modern black dress that showed off her legs with her hair pulled back in a ponytail.The garden around us was beautifully decorated in white, creating an atm

MAISIEJason didn't follow—perhaps he knew better than to try.I tried to concentrate on wrapping Nathan's present that had finally arrived, but my hands were shaking too much to fold neatly or tie the right ribbons.The sound of an ambulance arriving next door kept drawing my attention away from my task. The sirens wailed, cutting through the evening quiet like a harsh reminder of what had just transpired.I'm not saying Jared didn't deserve consequences for his actions. He had caused immeasurable pain with his interference in our lives yet did he deserve to be injured badly enough to need emergency medical attention?The question troubled me, even as I struggled with ribbon and tape that refused to cooperate with my shaking fingers."Stop giving people second chances they don't deserve, Maisie. It's maturity to accept that no good can come from some people!" Jason's words echoed in my mind.Perhaps he was right. Perhaps no good could ever come from Jared. However, the violence I'd w

MAISIEMy heart pounded against my ribs as I followed them. I knew what was coming: violence, pain, and more fuel for the cycle of hatred that seemed inescapable between these brothers.I hurried down the path to Jason's house, my footsteps quick but hesitant. The front door stood open, swinging slightly in the evening breeze, and I could hear crashes coming from inside. Furniture being overturned, glass breaking.I paused at the threshold with my hand gripping the doorframe. Did I really want to witness this?A particularly loud shatter from the living room made my decision for me. I stepped inside, drawn by concern despite my better judgment.The scene that greeted me was chaos. Jason stood in the center of his once-pristine living room, unwinding his silk tie from around his bloodied knuckles. His breathing was measured but heavy, like a predator conserving energy between attacks.The white shirt beneath his suit jacket was now spattered with crimson droplets."All my troubles bega
