The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 35. Cold
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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 36. Daddy
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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 37. Baby
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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 38. Resumption
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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 41. School
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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 42. Divorced
KIMBERLY~•~“You never filed the divorce.”Jackson nodded shamelessly.I slapped him. I didn’t know when my hand moved or why it did, but I didn’t regret it. Was this a way to control my life again? What the fuck was this man up to? I was beginning to tolerate him but he just had to fuck with my life again! It was almost like he was mocking me, flaunting that he was still a part of my life.I didn’t know what kind of reaction I expected from Jackson after I slapped him, but all he did was open the passenger’s door for me.My breathing was labored and I really didn’t want to be in a confined space with him, especially not after the bomb he just dropped, but I had no choice. We just enrolled Amelia at a new school. I didn’t want to create a scene and have that stigma follow my daughter around.I glared at him but got into the car anyway, banging the door shut with more force than necessary.He sucked on his bottom teeth and rounded the car to get into the driver’s seat.“Why?” I asked

JACKSON~•~“Where is Emily?”Kimberly, who was in the process of taking a bite out of her burger, froze.I had been in the hospital for three days and my parents visited every day. Even Kimberly’s parents visited each day, but my sister was nowhere to be found. Sure she was an annoying little shit most of the time but I doubted she’d know I was in the hospital and not visit once.Kimberly’s reaction got me even more interested in finding out what was wrong. “Did something happen to her?” Alarm bells rang in my head. Even though I disliked her most of the time, I didn’t want to see anything bad happen to her. She was still my sister after all. “Was she in the car with me?”Kimberly was quick to shake her head. “No, she wasn’t in the car with you.” She assured me but I still had my doubts. “She’s fine.”“Then where is she?” I was getting discharged tomorrow and she still hadn’t shown up. A lot of things have changed since the last memory I had, which happened to be four years ago.Kim
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 93. My name
KIMBERLY~•~Jackson had lost four years of his memory but he was happy to see me. I didn’t know how to feel about that. It meant that when he told me he regretted divorcing me, he wasn’t bluffing. Now that his memory was fresh about things that happened five years ago, I was tempted to take advantage of it and ask him questions I never got to ask him before.He was clingy as hell. He didn’t let me out of his sight once for fear that I might not be real or that I might not come back after leaving. Even as he slept on the bed, he held on to my hand and anything I tried to unclasp our hands, he’d hold on tighter. It was almost endearing.The door was suddenly pushed open and everyone came in at once; Mr and Mrs. Clarke, Anderson, my parents, Reiya, Asher, and Amelia.I blinked in surprise. I had been expecting them, but I wasn’t expecting all of them at once.They all came to a stop in front of the bed and his mother narrowed her eyes on me. I frowned, wondering what I did wrong this t
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 92. Amnesia
JACKSON ~•~My head hurt badly. It felt like I was having the worst headache of my life. My head was pounding. I groaned as my eyes fluttered open, the brightness of the light shining harshly over my eyes. I closed them briefly and opened them again, this time able to adjust to the light.I frowned, wondering what the hell I was doing in a hospital and how I ended up here. I opened my mouth to speak but no words would come out. I took a deep breath, cleared my throat, and tried again. That was when I noticed a weight on my arm. Someone was sleeping on my arm and they had stirred when I cleared my throat. Slowly, I turned my head to the side, wondering if the woman resting on me was Paige.However, the dark contrast to her bright blonde hair told me otherwise, except she had dyed it in the few months we had parted ways. With as much strength as I could muster, I moved my left hand slightly and the wind was knocked out of my lungs when the woman raised her head.What the hell was Kimb

KIMBERLY~•~“Go home, take a bath, eat and rest.” My mother told me when she came to visit me in the hospital. I hadn’t eaten nor showered in twenty-four hours and I couldn’t even feel the effect. I was just too focused on Jackson that I was numb to every other thing happening around me.I shook my head. “I want to be here with him.”“Kimberly.” My mother called out sternly. “You have to be in a good condition to take care of him. He’s in a very fragile state and the smallest germ can hurt him even more.”I paused, considering that angle. She didn’t lie but I doubted I carried that much germs with me. I chewed on my bottom lip and looked at Jackson. He was still unconscious and wasn’t showing any signs of waking up yet. I didn’t want to leave but I guessed I had no choice.Letting out a breath, I stood up and my mother smiled at me. She had called me earlier to go back home and rest but I simply hung up on her which was why she came here personally.I turned to leave but paused. “You

KIMBERLY~•~“What is going on?” Mr. Clarke asked, bringing both our attention to him and his wife.His wife, on the other hand, looked appalled. “How dare you slap my daughter? Her brother is lying in a hospital bed and you dare to slap her??”At that moment, I didn’t give a fuck what they thought about me. Emily wasn’t just a spoiled brat. She was evil and thoughtless. She had gone too far and I would slap her again if I could.I laughed humorlessly. I hated that we were creating a scene right in front of Jackson’s hospital room but there was no helping it. “Go on, Emily. Tell them what you said to me.”Emily stayed quiet, holding her cheek.Since she wasn’t going to speak, I was going to do it for her. Thankfully, there were no passersby to spin a story on the situation. “She said she didn’t know Jackson would drive my car and it was supposed to be me and on that bed.” I spat out bitterly. Even if I didn’t want to explain my actions to her parents, they had to know exactly what the
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 89. Your fault
KIMBERLY~•~Even after surgery, Jackson still didn’t wake up. I was worried as hell and my eyes were red from crying. I knew accidents happened to any and everyone but I never imagined Jackson would be lying down on the hospital bed, unconscious.His surgery was successful. Well, successful in the sense that nothing went wrong during the process and he didn’t die. I stayed with him in the hospital all night, unable to sleep. By the next morning, everyone in New York knew about Jackson’s accident and I was getting so many calls at once.I had already informed his family of the accident and they would be arriving this morning. I had also received a call from Reiya and after answering her call, I put my phone on silent. People called a lot whenever there was bad news and it irritated me a lot.There was a knock on the door and the door opened to reveal the doctor. She smiled warmly at me. “Good morning, Mrs. Clarke. I’m here to check up on the patient. If you could please step out of th
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 88. Fatal blow
KIMBERLY~•~It had been an hour since Jackson left to go get tampons but he still wasn’t back. By now, the kids were dozing off while I was still up waiting for Jackson.When I called his number several times and he didn’t answer, I started to get worried. I was still on my period though, which was why I went upstairs to search through the closet to see if I had a menstrual cup. I didn’t like using them, but I had no choice.I tucked the kids in and went to the bathroom to do my business. When I was done, I started calling Jackson’s line again and it still wasn’t going.Fuck. We should have exchanged locations after getting back together.I was calling for the seventh time when Jackson finally answered the call. “Jackson! It’s taking a long while just to get tampons. Where are you?”“Is this Mrs. Clarke?” I heard a feminine voice ask and I could feel the hairs on my arms rise. “Yeah, who’s this?”“I’m a nurse at the city hospital.” My heart dropped at those words. “Mr. Clarke was in

JACKSON~•~Despite being six years older than my sister, I grew up with her after all and she hadn’t changed a bit, which was why I could tell that she was raging inside.I had thought that with time she was going to develop a brain and start acting like an adult. I thought she was going to be civil with Kimberly even if she didn’t like her but clearly, I was wishing for too much.I didn’t want a wedge between me and my family but she was too damn insufferable and it was pissing me off.She glared at me hard but I merely arched an eyebrow, waiting for her response. She had already ruined the mood at the beginning and she was making things even worse. I needed to shut her mouth with duct tape or something.My mom laughed awkwardly. “Don’t be rude to your sister, Jackson. She came here to celebrate Thanksgiving with you.”I chuckled humorlessly. This was exactly why she still behaved like a child. My mother was there to pardon her wrongdoings. In fact, she made her feel like she didn’t
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 86. Thanksgiving
KIMBERLY~•~Thanksgiving was my second favorite holiday. There was something about families gathering at a table to eat that made me feel at peace.For the past five years, I wasn’t able to celebrate Thanksgiving as I liked. It was always just me and Amelia. Reiya had to be with her family and George had to be with his, which was why this year excites me to the point that I offered to do the cooking for Thanksgiving. Of course, Caro was going to assist me.It wasn’t just our immediate family. My parents and Jackson’s parents were going to be here. I didn’t like the idea of Emily coming around but after Jackson made his father cut down her allowance, she had been pretty obedient. It was crazy that the only thing that made her behave was the hope of getting her allowance back. It was going to be dinner for nine people and I was more than excited about it.Caro and I spent the whole day cooking. Jackson offered to help but after I yelled at him more than three times for doing something
