The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 34. Chemistry
JACKSON~•~It was obvious as hell that Kimberly regretted our night together.It had been a whole week since it happened and she hadn’t stepped foot in my temporary apartment. She made me go downstairs to pick Amelia up and also made me drop her off downstairs. She never even came out of her car.She avoided looking directly at me and shut down anything that could potentially lead to a long conversation between us. It was frustrating.My phone rang and I saw that it was Kimberly calling. I picked it up and brought it up to my ear, answering the call. “Yeah?”“I’m downstairs.” She announced and hung up immediately.I looked at the blank screen for a while and chuckled before closing my laptop and standing up. Normally, I would carry Amelia downstairs with me to give to her mother but this time, I didn’t.I found Amelia in her room; she had quickly turned the guest bedroom into her space, filling it up with several dolls and toys to keep her busy when I couldn’t play with her. “Daddy.”

KIMBERLY~•~I hated who I was around Jackson and I was going to keep saying it until I properly learned to resist him.All he had to do was speak in that husky seductive voice and I’d be dropping my pants for him.It was a good thing Amelia came when she did. Who knew what could have happened if not?No matter how much I tried to tell myself I didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore, I couldn’t deny the fact that he was good in bed. I was familiar with his love-making and I craved it. I craved it a lot, which was exactly why I had to stay away.I had been celibate for far too long and it was starting to fuck with my head. I didn’t want to mistake my sexual life for my love life and fall back into his arms. I had told him I had a partner, but I was lying. However, I did need a partner. Having someone to stay loyal to would make things better for me. I would have even more reason to stay away from my ex-husband.“Mommy, why are your cheeks so red?” Amelia asked as I carrie

KIMBERLY ~•~“Mommy, is Jackson my daddy or is it George?”I cocked my head to the side. “Your dad is Jackson, of course. Why are you asking?”“Then why do we visit George a lot? Why are we not going to Daddy’s house anymore?”I sucked on my teeth. I’d forgotten how curious Amelia could be. George and I had been dating for three weeks and we had only visited three times, this time being the fourth. Jackson, however, had gone back to New York. He had some meetings to attend and he went back a week ago. He was going to come back soon but he didn’t specify when.“Daddy is out for work. When he comes back, we’ll visit him.”“Okay, but why are we visiting George?”“Have you already forgotten that he’s mommy’s boss?”“But you kiss him and refuse to kiss Daddy.”Jesus Christ. This girl wasn’t giving me any breathing space today. We were already standing in front of George’s house. It was a quaint two-story building that his parents had left for him after they died. “Why don’t we talk about

KIMBERLY~•~“What the–“ I cut myself off as Amelia jumped on her father. “What are you doing here?” I asked, standing up to approach Jackson.George stood idly by the door, watching the exchange with a grim expression. I winced.“Mommy, you didn’t tell me daddy was coming today!” I let out a sigh, glaring hard at Jackson even if he pretended he couldn’t see me. “Jackson.” I gritted out.“I tried calling you and you weren’t answering. I thought something was wrong.”“So you stalked me all the way here?”“I didn’t stalk you.” He shrugged as he dropped Amelia to the ground. The little girl didn’t let go of him though. She held on to his thumb. I didn’t know why she was so obsessed with having a father. Their father-daughter bond was special and adorable to see, but Jackson kept interfering in my life because of it. “We exchanged locations because of Amelia, didn’t we?”My tongue poked the inside of my cheek at that reminder. I had forgotten about that little fact. Even George didn’t ha

JACKSON~•~“Are you ever going to tell me what the hell you meant by that statement?” Kimberly asked for the umpteenth time.I shrugged, making her glare at me.Her interest was piqued and that was a good sign. She was very curious about that statement that she had asked me about it every time we met since that time, but if I explained it to her, she would wish she never asked.I felt like an asshole too, but I couldn’t help myself. I had known her boss liked her. I just didn’t know she liked him as well. I hated the idea of their relationship and it was obvious the relationship was new or she would have mentioned it long ago.It wasn’t going to last anyway, not with me around. “Jackson!” She scolded.“Shhhh,” I smiled. “Don’t let Amelia think we’re fighting again.”She exhaled heavily, most likely holding back her words. I grinned as she pushed me away and held the trolley, pushing it instead.Kimberly and I had taken Amelia shopping for school supplies. Kimberly didn’t want me to

KIMBERLY~•~“I’m going out of my mind, Reiya,” I confessed one faithful evening. I had been thinking nonstop about Jack’s words that sometimes, George found me zoning out. “What’s wrong, love?” She questioned. “You sound more stressed than I am and I am very stressed about the upcoming wedding.” I chuckled. Reiya’s wedding had finally been set for December. Even if it would be very cold, she wanted to have a Christmas wedding. It was her favorite holiday. That meant I was spending my Christmas in New York. She was, for lack of a better word, a bridezilla, and since I wasn’t in New York to help her, her husband-to-be was taking the brunt of it.“Jackson has been here for almost two months and he is already ruining my life.”Reiya gasped. “What did he do?”I sighed. I was exaggerating, but he was messing with me on purpose. “You know how I accepted George, right?”“Hmm.” “Jackson deliberately showed up in George’s house one day, claiming that he was worried something bad happened t

KIMBERLY~•~“Are you very excited to go to school?”“Yes!” Amelia exclaimed, bouncing on the mat. She had too much energy. I could only hope that school was what she thought it would be and wouldn’t get tired of the said school soon.Her enthusiasm was good for me though. “Really? Why is that?” George asked her.“Mommy said I’ll make friends at school.” She repeated what she told Jackson when we went shopping together. “Are you sure you won’t cry when you’re left alone?”Her lips flattened in a thin line as she gave him a disapproving look. I chuckled. “I’m a big girl, Uncle George. Why will I cry?”George’s eyes went wide when he saw the look she was giving him. He turned to look at me and I shrugged. “My bad, Amelia. I underrated you.”Her nose scrunched cutely the way it did whenever she didn’t understand a word. “Under…”“Underrated,” George repeated for her.She frowned. “What does that mean?”As George looked for a way to properly explain the word to her, I looked into the d

KIMBERLY~•~Amelia was basically bouncing in her seat. I’d never seen anyone this excited to go to school.Her enthusiasm brought a smile to my face though.When we pulled over at the school, she rushed to open her doors but Jackson kept them locked. She whined in frustration but he ignored her and got out of the car before turning around to open her door.The smile was immediately back on her face when she got out of the car and stared at the building in front of her.Before she could take off, Jackson picked her off the ground and placed her on his hips. Her eyes widened dramatically! “Put me down, daddy! My friends will think I’m a baby!”I laughed as I gathered her stuff from the car and got out as well. “One, you’re a baby. Two, you don’t even have friends yet.”Amelia gasped. “What? I will have friends today! Put me down!”“If I put you down, do you promise not to run? If you even walk faster than me, then all your classmates will see when I’m carrying you inside the class.”S

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
