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~•~Kimberly wasn’t just angry at me. She was pissed, which was why she could barely look me in the face. I understood why she was pissed and I knew I deserved that. That didn’t mean I didn’t hate it though.I was trying to pull her back into my life. I didn’t know how I managed to fuck everything up every damn time.As she exited the car, I let out a sigh and went back inside the car. My phone rang again and I rolled my eyes, thinking it was Paige again, but it happened to be my father.I answered the call and brought it up to my ear while watching Kimberly at the same time.“Paige said you haven’t been taking her calls.”“It’s only been a few minutes,” I told him. She was so quick to report me to my father anytime something happened. My father didn’t like her as well, especially after what she did to our company, but his grandson was involved so he had to take her calls as well. “I’ll call her back later.”“No need. Just come back to New York. Asher is sick and is asking for

KIMBERLY ~•~ I was pissed as fuck as I walked into the building that I couldn’t even see where I was going and ended up running into George. I let out a huff as my nose hit his chest and I stumbled back, almost falling if he didn’t catch me on time. My phone wasn’t very fortunate though. I visibly flinched as it fell to the ground. George shook his head, helping me to pick up my phone. “Why are you so in your head? Is it because of him?” His eyes darted to the car outside, which alerted me that he had seen Jackson drop me off. That was the least of our problems though. “You seem angry.” He added when I didn’t say anything and just kept staring at him. “Did he do something to you?” I didn’t even know where to start speaking from. I knew it wouldn’t be right to keep the newly found information from him. It wasn’t fair to him. Before I could speak, my phone lit up with a text, and since it was in George’s hand, he was the first to see the text. His jaw clenched and he hand

JACKSON~•~[Paige: Asher is awake and he wants to see you]Since I hadn’t eaten all day, I had gone down to the cafeteria to get something to eat, but after getting Paige’s text, I turned on my heels and headed back upstairs.As I opened the door to the hospital room, Asher’s head whipped toward me. He tried to sit up but I shook my head and walked faster, making sure he didn’t waste his strength.“Dad.” He said as I approached his bed.“Hey, Kiddo. How are you feeling now?”“I feel much better, Dad.” He answered, sitting up anyway. “Mom told me you were free these days. Can I stay with you?”I arched an eyebrow at Paige and she looked away guiltily. There was no doubt she had told him exactly what to say. She wanted to keep me in New York. She didn’t want me to go to California. She didn’t want me to see Kimberly at all. She was certain Kim would never come back to me yet she was taking precautions anyway. I didn’t know why she was so bothered. She didn’t even like me.“You want to

KIMBERLY~•~It had been almost a week and I hadn’t heard from either man. I thought it was quite childish to ignore your significant other after a fight but apparently, George didn’t share the same sentimentsHe avoided me and ignored me whenever I tried to bring up our fight so I just gave up and the only time we got to speak was about work. I hated it. I hated that we had come to this. Despite being hesitant to date him in the beginning, I’d grown to appreciate him. I liked him and I wanted us to work. However, I didn’t see how that would happen if he kept evading grown people's conversation.I exhaled heavily, stopping myself from throwing more shades. I couldn’t entirely fault him. I should have just kept the thing from him until it was resolved. Then we wouldn’t have had to fight.Amelia was also asking about her father, but I could only tell her he traveled for work since I didn’t want to call and ask him what was up. He had left in a hurry and hadn’t dropped a message since th

KIMBERLY~•~“I wasn’t expecting you,” I confessed when George was finally inside with me.“Obviously you weren’t.” His words carried a hint of malice. I didn’t know if he was still mad at me about our argument or if it was just irritation from seeing the cause of our fight in my house.I quickly defended myself though. “I wasn’t expecting him too! He came like five minutes ago without informing me to take Amelia out, I promise.”I wondered if he had heard what Jackson was saying, but if he did, he made no indication of it. I was relieved. His tongue poked the inside of his cheek and he nodded, looking around like it was his first time in here.I sighed. “Look, George. I don’t like fighting with you. Can we resolve this?”“That’s why I came.” He admitted.“Really?” I grinned. “So you’re ready to forgive me?”“I wasn’t necessarily mad at you. I was just angry at the situation.”“A whole week of ignoring me suggests otherwise but I guess that’s just me.” I shrugged.George chuckled, his

GEORGE~•~No matter how badly I tried to ignore it, there was no doubt Jackson was the biggest obstacle in our relationship.I liked Kimberly a lot. Hell, I even told her I loved her but she pretended not to hear it. I was willing to spend the rest of my life with her, but as she cuddled up with me on the bed after sex, I couldn’t help but think if this was how the rest of our lives were going to go.Jackson would always be there like an annoying mole one couldn’t get rid of. She would keep allowing him to do whatever the hell he wanted, never really drawing clear boundaries.She seemed guilty as fuck, which made me wonder what the hell they were doing before I rang the bell. Did he kiss her? Did she let him? Even the sex she offered to me was out of guilt. I knew that much but I still couldn’t resist her. I loved her too much and it was bad for me.A lot of wheels were turning in my head at the moment. I had a lot of questions to ask her but I didn’t know how to start. I had heard t

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

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

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
