Ruthless Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret CH.62
MAISIEI was cocooned in the strength of his embrace in that moment so the rest of the world simply fell away into insignificance.There was only the all-consuming tidal wave of emotion that threatened to sweep me under every time our bodies reunited after even the briefest separation.I was home with the man who saw me and seemed to want me even after knowing the real me.Most people only want the happy, obedient, beautiful version of us, while the darkness within is ours alone to grapple with. No one loves that shadowed side with the flaws and imperfections we try so desperately to conceal.But here before me stands a man who accepts me completely, darkness and all without asking me to change or morph into someone I’m not.I wanted to confess my feelings for him in that moment of vulnerability.But I feared I would come to regret the admission. I could only feel a profound sense of certainty settling over me like a warm blanket. These emotions are real and undeniable. I cared for hi

MAISIEAfter that rose-tinted night, I didn't see or hear from Jason for over a week. I also wondered why he never asked me about the little catfight with his fiancée. Surely he must have found out. Speaking of that wench, I haven’t seen her either.The days seemed to stretch into a strangely hollow and lonely blur without his presence to brighten them.A few terse texts was all I received - he said something about being busy with work leaving him utterly drained.He still tried to reassure me with a "Miss you, beautiful" or "Can't wait to see you again" even though the clipped responses did little to soothe the dull ache gradually building in my chest.I found myself wandering the streets near our home in a daze by the seventh day.I was in a desperate need for distraction - anything to silence the endless loop of doubts and insecurities currently plaguing my restless mind.Had I misread the situation completely? Was the intensity of our connection real? Or just another fleeting mom

MAISIE“Aren’t you punks supposed to be at home studying or something?” I called out with my hands on my hips. “Pretty sure that kid doesn’t want to waste his time hanging out with a bunch of delinquents like you losers.”The leader’s head whipped around at the sound of my voice and his eyes narrowed dangerously. “Well well, if it isn’t a Mrs. Goody Two-Shoes coming to save the day,” he sneered. “Last warning, old lady – mind your own business if you know what’s good for you.”I refused to be cowed as I pulled out my phone and started filming, making sure to get a clear shot of their faces. “Yeah? Well how about you leave the kid alone before I take this little video straight to the cops, huh? Then you idiots can learn some manners the hard way.”That seemed to be the final straw. “Give me that phone, you piece of shit!” the leader snarled while taking a menacing step towards me.I held up a hand and stood my ground. “You’ll get nothing but a fat lip if you don’t back off and show som

MAISIEThe command held a distinctly carnal edge that had my insides clenching with want.I swallowed hard before quickly sliding across the plush leather seat with weak knees after he rounded the front of the vehicle. By the time the driver’s side door opened and he dropped into the seat beside me, I was practically vibrating out of my skin with a confusing storm of emotions.The low rumble of the engine turning over did absolutely nothing to soothe my suddenly frayed nerves. If anything, it only served to ratchet the tension up another few notches when Jason threw the car into reverse and began maneuvering us back out onto the main road.“I was thinking about turning that video over to the police,” I blurted out once we were headed back in the direction we came. “Maybe a night in jail will teach those brats some manners, you know?”Jason shot me a sidelong glance and one side of his mouth quirked upward in a look of clear condescension. “Sure, go ahead and ruin the futures of three

Jason watched them go with an expression of disgust etched on his harsh features before turning his attention to the boy who had yet to stir from where he lay crumpled in the filthy alleyway.He crossed the distance in a few long strides, dropping into a crouch beside the unconscious teen."Hey, kid," he said gruffly, giving the boy's shoulder a gentle shake. "Can you hear me? You need to wake up now."When there was no response, Jason's jaw ticked with barely concealed concern.He reached out to carefully probe at the back of the kid's skull and his fingers came away sticky with blood."Shit," he hissed. "That's a nasty knock you took there."With what looked like surprising tenderness for a man of his size and stature, Jason carefully gathered the unconscious teen into his arms, cradling him against his broad chest.He straightened to his full, intimidating height with a low grunt of effort before turning on his heel and striding back toward the car with the same purposeful intensit

MAISIEThe pads of Jason’s fingers traced delicate patterns along my waist, like he was trying to commit every inch of me to memory. "As for me? I'm fully in control. Of myself...and my actions towards you. I'll wait until you're truly mine - soul first, then that beautiful body."I swallowed hard, trying to steady the whirlwind of emotions and raging hormones inside me. Part of me was desperate to escape the magnetic pull of those mesmerizing eyes. But the other part...well, it craved the depth of that stare, the promise of ecstasy it seemed to hold."And...if you wait too long?" I asked softly barely above a whisper.A tender look crossed Jason's face. Then he reached up to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear, his fingers lingering a little too long on my flushed skin."This closeness, framed by waiting...it's something I never want to end," he murmured. "I need to never be fully satisfied, so the story continues. Only approach me when you're ready - mind, body and spirit. Tha

MAISIE"I noticed you didn't object to all the touching that happened between you two," Jason’s voice sounded much closer than I expected, laced with an undercurrent of accusation.I spun around, startled to find him standing just a few feet away. "What do you mean?" I asked cautiously.He closed the distance between us in two strides and his larger hand engulfed mine in a firm grasp. "You know exactly what I mean," he said in a low rumble.I tried to pacify him by squeezing his hand. "Philip and I are just friends now, Jason. There's nothing for you to get upset about."He squeezed back, his voice taking on a rough, brutally honest edge. "I want to hug you as violently as my feelings for you when I'm jealous. Don't let him touch you like that again!"His blunt words stunned me into silence. Part of me wished I could match his frankness - just confess that I loved him still, that no one else could ever come close. But if I admitted that now, it would feel like surrendering without put

JASONJason strode through the massive double doors of his mansion, his strides long and purposeful even as the echoes of his heated confession to Maisie earlier that night still seemed to reverberate in his mind.His shoulders were tense, the hard lines of his body betraying the storm of emotions raging beneath that outwardly calm facade.The cavernous grand foyer with its over-the-top crystal chandelier and polished marble floors did absolutely nothing to soothe his foul mood as he made a beeline for his private study, every click of his shoes against the stone feeling like a hammer pounding against his skull.Once inside the dimly lit room, he closed the heavy oak door behind him with a soft click, slumping forward until his hands were braced on the edge of his desk.His gaze landed on the plain white envelope sitting there prominently atop the polished mahogany surface with the bold logo of the hospital lab printed on ii.Jason's stomach twisted into a knot just looking at the inn

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
