The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 17. Young master
KIMBERLY~•~Sooner or later came sooner than expected.Well, I couldn’t say I didn’t expect this, but I expected to have at least one more night of rest.It was nine o’clock at night and Amelia was already sleeping. I was watching TV when I got a call from Reiya. “You have a knack for trending, don’t you?” She asked as soon as I answered the call.“What do you mean?”“Your picture is everywhere, honey. They’re speculating again, wondering if this means you and Jackson will get back together.”I shook my head. “Now how the hell did they draw that conclusion?”“What did you think would happen when you decided to represent your ex-husband in court, especially since he didn’t clarify what made your marriage end?”“He didn’t?” I didn’t know why I was surprised. It wasn’t like he would tell the public that he left me because his ex-girlfriend came back with a child. That would create a scandal and affect the stocks of his company for not ‘taking his marriage seriously’.“He didn’t.” She af

KIMBERLY ~•~I groaned as my phone rang for the umpteenth time that morning. “Mommy, who keeps calling you?”I held back a sigh. “It’s nobody. Focus on finishing your food so you’ll be ready by the time Aunt Ree arrives.” At the mention of Reiya, she nodded and continued eating, forgetting about the question she asked.My mom had been calling me nonstop ever since I hung up on her last night. I didn’t know if it made me weak but I couldn’t block the number. I didn’t have it in my heart to do so. Yes, she was a bad mother and treated me like a commodity instead of a daughter but I had cut her off once. I didn’t know how to do it again.When George told me we were coming to New York, I didn’t think about the possibility of my mother trying to reach out so I didn’t know what to do.“I’m done!” Amelia announced.“Finish the apples.”She pouted, but a stern look from me had her eating her apples. Just as she was done, there was a knock on the door. I was more than relieved when I opened

KIMBERLY~•~I took a deep breath as I stood in front of the house that I grew up in.I didn’t know how I ended up here. One minute, I was on the phone with her and the next minute, she somehow convinced me to pay her a visit during the weekend.It had been three days since she called me and I was finally outside her house. I didn’t know what I would say to her. I didn’t know how I would act around her. I didn’t know the outcome of this meeting. It scared me.I wondered if she had changed or if she was still the same.As soon as I lifted my hand to ring the doorbell, the door was pulled open and the woman who birthed me stood in front of me. “You’ve been standing here for ten minutes already. Do you intend to reconnect with the door?”My tongue poked the inside of my cheek, not responding because I didn’t have anything to say to that. I didn’t know if it was good to see her again. “Come in.” She ushered.The last time I had been here, she didn’t let me step foot in the house so I gue

JACKSON~•~I knew I had no right to want Kimberly back but the more she avoided me, the more I wanted to get close to her.It was crazy. Back when we were together, I took her love for granted. I knew she was in love with me but I never addressed her feelings. I ignored them, thinking I could live without her. As soon as she stopped showing up, I realized that I had lost a good thing.I tried to find her but I couldn’t. Paige kept bugging me and it looked like Kimberly tried her best to stay away from me so I gave up. Now that I had seen her again, I couldn’t fathom the idea of letting her go again even if she wasn’t currently in my grasp.I didn’t know whether to call it obsession, but I wanted to know her every move. I wanted to know where she went and who she hung out with. I wanted to know if she was more than just friends with her boss. I wanted to know their dynamic badly. I surprised myself when I hired someone to follow her.Now that someone was currently ringing my bell.Bef

Chapter 21KIMBERLY~•~I expected some reporters but I didn’t think they would completely block off the entrance to the courthouse.George looked at me with an amused smile. “You aren’t getting off?”“Would you?”He laughed. “I didn’t know you were so famous. Who could have thought?”“Shut up.” I gritted out. I looked out the window again, seeing them waiting patiently. It was a good thing the windows were tinted or they would have swarmed the car already. “We have enough evidence to end this case today, right?”“Yeah, there’s a recording, footage of his employee stealing the contract, and the contract itself. I think this case is done.”“Good. We’ll leave tomorrow.”“You’re so eager to leave.”“Of course. I do not want to deal with this.” I gestured to the crowd outside.George looked at the watch on his wrist. “If we don’t go in now, we’ll be late and today might just be another waste.”“Fine.” I exhaled heavily, preparing myself to go through the crowd.“I’ll go out first, okay?”

KIMBERLY~•~“What the fuck is this?”“I should be asking you that question. Kimberly.” Jackson exasperated.“Yeah, you had me followed and photographed but of course, I don’t have any right to ask questions.” My words were dripping with sarcasm as I threw the pictures at his feet.“That’s not the point, Kimberly. You have a daughter!”Fuck. I had no intention of letting him find out about Amelia which was why I wanted to leave New York as soon as possible, but now, there was no denying the fact that I was a mother. However, I could still hide the fact that she carried his DNA. “And so? Am I not allowed to have a life after leaving you?” I questioned, acting like I wasn’t affected.“She’s mine, isn’t she?”I snorted. “You are crazy. She’s not yours.”“Of course, she is! You told me you were pregnant before you left. She’s my daughter. Stop lying.”“I was lying back then. I wasn’t pregnant. My pathetic ass only wanted to stay with you by making up things.” I lied boldly without batting

KIMBERLY~•~“I’m going to miss you guys a lot, Kim.” Reiya pouts, hugging me and Amelia at the same time.“You’ll visit California, won’t you? It’s not like we’re continents apart.”“You’re right.” She sighed, finally releasing me. “Don’t let me hold you up.” Reiya had driven us to the airport this morning and she was reluctant to let us go.George chuckled at her theatrics and she glared at him. She took a step back, waving at me. “Bye!”“Bye.” I chuckled, but before I could turn to leave, a car zooming towards us caught my attention. The car stopped right in front of us and the back door opened to reveal Jackson.My eyes widened as he strode purposefully towards us. Reiya stared at me. So did George. Meanwhile, Amelia stared curiously at the figure approaching us.“W-what are you d-doing here?” I stumbled over my words, taken aback.“I can’t let you leave, Kimberly. Not like this.” His eyes were pleasing and I could tell that he didn’t take into consideration all that I told him t

JACKSON~•~The last time we had a family meeting was when I was twenty-six, back when my parents wanted to tell me about the wedding arrangement with Kimberly. Well, my father wanted to announce it to all of us. My mother was against it because she thought Kimberly wasn’t good enough but my father’s words were law.I didn’t agree to the marriage at first, but my father promised to step down for me and let me take over as CEO. It was just a wedding and the woman I wanted had left me already so I saw no problem in a marriage of convenience. Kimberly was a beautiful and kind-hearted woman. I wouldn’t have any losses.We were having another family meeting for the first time in eight years and yet again, it was about Kimberly.“Are the rumors true?” My father asked in a deep baritone voice.“They might be.”“What the hell does that mean?” My mother imputed. “Are you seriously considering going back to that woman?”“Mom, you needed to see the way he insulted me because of her. She has bewi

JACKSON~•~“Will Skye’s sister attend your party?” My ears perked up when I heard Asher questioning Amelia.“I don’t know,” Amelia responded. “Stop distracting me.”I held back a laugh at her frustration. She was trying on several dresses to see the one she was going to wear at her birthday party and she called us in to model the dresses for us.“Why didn’t you ask her?”“I want Skye at my party and I don’t care about her sister. Why didn’t you invite her to your party when you had one?”A blush crept up Asher’s face. “We weren’t friends then.” Whoever Skye’s sister was, I could tell that Asher had a crush on her, which was why he was bugging Amelia about it, meanwhile the poor girl just wanted her seven-year-old birthday to be perfect.“What’s Skye’s sister's name?”The two kids turned to me when they heard my question and Asher cleared his throat as though he was just realizing I was in the room with them. I wasn’t even surprised he was already having crushes. He was eleven years

KIMBERLY~•~I waited for only a few seconds before Jackson came in, pushing a trolley that contained only one plate. I arched an eyebrow at him and he chuckled. “We’ll start with appetizers first.” He explained and I took his word for it. He transferred the plate from the trolley to the table and stood beside me, waiting for me to open it.“Aren’t you eating?” I questioned, wondering why he was acting weird.“I will. I just want to know if you like it first.”I shook my head. He was so eager for compliments. Decoding to give him what he wanted, I removed the cover of the plate and my eyes widened immediately.I gasped and my hand flew to my mouth to stop myself from screaming. When I looked back at Jackson, he was already on one knee. I looked back at the plate in front of me. It was more of a dessert than an appetizer. It was a piece of chocolate cake and the words “Will you marry me?” were written on the plate using icing.I had suspected it could be a proposal but I waved it off
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 122. Surprise
KIMBERLY~•~For the first time in a million years, Jackson was taking me out on a date. It was an impromptu one at that and when I told him I didn’t have anything to wear, he told me we would visit the mall first. Apparently, he already had everything planned and all I had to do was show up.I kind of liked that. Caro was back so she could look after the kids and we were free to spend as much time as we could outside.“Mommy, where are you going?” Amelia whined when she came into my room and saw me putting on my make-up.“Nowhere, baby.” I knew if I told her I was going out with her father, she’d want to come too. She couldn’t just stay back and let me leave alone with her father. “But you have lipstick!”“I’m going to work.”She frowned, creases forming on her forehead. “But you already went to work in the morning. It’s not morning anymore.”I sighed. “It’s a special meeting, Amelia. Why don’t you go and play with your brother? I won’t take long.”“No.” She shook her head. “Asher i

JACKSON~•~We were getting ready to go to the store when I heard the doorbell rang. It was a Saturday and we weren’t expecting anyone.Most of the workers weren’t in the house so I went downstairs to get the door. Before I could get there, the doorbell rang again. With a sigh, I pulled open the door, surprised to see Mr and Mrs. Watson. What were Kimberly’s parents doing here? It wasn’t like they weren’t welcome to visit. It was just weird that they didn’t inform us before coming. “Good morning, sir, Ma’am.” I stepped aside to let them in. “Kimberly is taking a shower. She’ll be down soon.”They nodded. “Sorry for barging in on you guys.” Her father spoke while his wife stayed silent, staring at her feet like a child who had been scolded.“It’s fine. You’re family. Take a seat. I’ll get you something to drink.”“Water is fine.”I nodded and went into the kitchen to get two bottles of water and cups for them. After setting it in front of them, I went back upstairs to our bedroom just
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 120. Press conference
KIMBERLY~•~It was crazy how easy it was to win the people’s favor again. The same people who bashed and condemned you were always ready to start singing praises for you as soon as things turned around.They were so fucking hypocritical and even if it was a good thing, it annoyed me how easily the masses started defending Jackson’s company after stressing him for four whole days.Jackson’s visit to the prison hadn’t been fruitless. He had gotten substantial evidence from Emily. She had recorded a conversation between herself and Chris (I still couldn’t believe he orchestrated this whole thing by the way. Jackson had warned me about him but I ignored it even if I never spoke with him after that) and the tips she gave Jackson made their investigation smoother.They didn’t release any statements until they had a lot of evidence to back up their words which I commended them for. Jackson was smart as hell because an hour after his press conference ended, people were already defending his

JACKSON~•~I sat on a chair in a dimly lit room, waiting for the girl I grew up with as my sister.Sometimes, I felt bad for her that she was living in such a place; that she was locked up here, but then I’d remember the evil things she did just because she didn’t like Kimberly for me.It would have been slightly different if her actions were justified but Kimberly didn’t even do anything to her. Kimberly barely even retaliated or she would be in much worse trouble.After waiting for a few minutes, the door to the room finally opened and an officer led Emily in. She was still handcuffed, but luckily for her, they freed her of the handcuffs before leaving.I appraised her form. “You have gotten thinner.” Emily had always been obsessed with maintaining a thin form, going on several diets as many times as she could to make sure she stayed fit.“The food is ass in here.” She scoffed and sat down in front of me with a table diving us.“You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t make stupid decisi

JACKSON~•~After talking to the ‘sick old man’ the previous day, I was able to get in touch with one of the people who also testified against me. After threatening to make sure they lost everything they had, they finally confessed and said someone met them a day before to tell them to testify.From the description, I was able to pinpoint them at once. Christian Walsh’s secretary. However, I didn’t have proof just yet. Christian and I were business rivals but I never knew he would stoop as low as defaming my company.It was way too low.I didn’t know why he did it but I didn’t care to find out, I was working on tracking his secretary’s whereabouts, hoping to find footage of him meeting the witness.“He visited the hospital three days ago,” Jeffrey commented, reading from his phone most likely a text. “Maybe if we can get footage from inside the hospital, we can see him entering the guy’s room.”“That’s a good idea.” I nodded. “Also find a way to get the man’s hospital file. I want to

KIMBERLY~•~Jackson hadn’t been gone for two hours when another video of him started trending again.It was from the same man and he had started recording claiming he was going to show the world Jackson’s true colors. After that, Jackson stood up and got out of the room, along with his secretary trailing behind him.It didn’t show anything odd but the fact that Jackson left as soon as the man started recording made him look shady. I hated the fact that a lot of strangers on the internet were giving their opinions based on a ten-second video while they knew nothing about him in real life.I was worried as hell. He was under fire on the Internet and I couldn’t reach him or his secretary. I tried to engage the kids but I found my mind straying to Jackson every few minutes.When my phone rang, I scrambled for it only to find out that it wasn’t Jackson calling but it was just my mother. I sighed. I had already spoken to her this morning. What more did she want from me?Knowing that woman,
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 116. Cancer driven
JACKSON~•~I’d never been a patient man but there was a different degree of impatience running through my veins as Jeffrey drove us to the hospital the sick man was currently at. I’d managed to push it to the back of my mind during breakfast but as soon as the meal was over and Jeffrey knocked on my door, I dipped. I didn’t even have enough time to say bye to my family. Amelia was probably going to rant about how much I didn’t care about her but I could handle that later.Thankfully, the hospital wasn’t very far from my house.When we arrived, I didn’t wait for Jeffrey to properly park before I got out of the car and headed straight for the entrance. I just wanted to get my answers. I wanted to meet the bedridden, cancer-driven man that was trending online.The nurses at the reception noticed me immediately but I didn’t bother to stop even when I saw them secretly bringing out their phones to record me. Jeffrey had found out the ward he was staying in so I went there straight up.I d
