The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 46. Salute
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

KIMBERLY~•~I paused, frowned, then turned around to face him. Maybe I misheard him. “What?”“I think we should break up,” George repeated, sounding very sure of himself.“What do you mean? Is this a prank or something? What’s this about?”George sighed. “Please don’t make this harder than it needs to be.”“Why is it happening in the first place!?” I cried out. I thought things were good between us. “We just had sex for fuck’s sake!”He clenched his jaw as though the reminder angered him. “Wait, don’t tell me all you wanted from me was sex. Now that you’ve gotten it, you’re leaving?” I was astonished. “All that talk about getting me pregnant was for show?”“Don’t you dare make assumptions about my character like that, Kimberly.”“Then talk to me properly because I am clearly missing something here!” It was crazy as hell. I’d been hesitant to date him but that didn’t mean I wanted to break up with him. He was a good boyfriend. He was a good man. He was a good person. I’d be stupid t

JACKSON~•~As the elevator doors opened, George was standing outside, waiting for it.He scoffed, not bothering to hide his distaste for me anymore. I frowned, wondering what had happened. However, I couldn’t ask him so I just focused on carrying Amelia and the small shopping bag on one hand.I went to the front of their apartment and rang the doorbell.Kimberly opened it at a speed I never thought possible as though she had been standing right in front of the door. “Oh, it’s you.” Her face portrayed her disappointment.I entered and closed the door behind me gently, not wanting to wake Amelia up. “Were you expecting someone else?” I questioned. Her boyfriend just left. Who else could she be expecting?“No one.” She muttered, walking into the kitchen.The fact that she didn’t try to take Amelia from me told me that something was wrong. “I'm going to touch her in. Where’s her room?” It was just six in the evening and she was already gone.“The second bedroom,” Kim mumbled, keeping her

JACKSON~•~I didn’t know why I told Kimberly I’d make the tacos when I knew damn well I hadn’t made tacos in my life, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t try though.I was trying to win her back, which meant I was going to do whatever she wanted, including the things she didn’t ask me to do.That was exactly why I searched for several taco recipes on the internet and only went with the most common recipe. It took a while but I finally made it.By the time I was done in the kitchen, Amelia had woken up again. I cursed under my breath when she trudged into the kitchen to meet me. I’d been hoping to have some alone time with Kimberly.I knew she was quite embarrassed after she cried in my arms. I wanted to assure her that I didn’t think any less of her.“Daddy, what are you making?”“Tacos, baby.”“Tacos? They’re my favorite!” She jumped up and down.“Really?” I indulged her.“Yes! Mummy makes them when she’s happy.”I looked into the living room and Kimberly was focused on typing on her la

KIMBERLY~•~I paused. That wasn’t a bad idea, but “I have never thought about that.”“You’re welcome.” He grinned smugly.I rolled my eyes before suddenly looking at him. “Is this come kind of ploy to bring me closer to you?”“It isn’t not a plot.” He emphasized. “But I’m also suggesting this for your good. This way, you get to be your own boss and no man would fire you just because they broke up with you.”I groaned. “Don’t remind me.” I was trying to forget about that. I wanted to move on as soon as possible. George was right. The only way we could move on was if we never saw each other again.“You really have never thought about it before?”I shook my head. I never thought I’d be civil with Jackson again, especially after the stunt he pulled last week, but here I was with him on my couch late at night. “My job at George’s firm was the first proper job I’d ever had. I have never thought of starting my own company. I don’t think it’s easy.”“It’s not.” He affirmed. “But I’ll be ther

KIMBERLY~•~Amelia didn’t go to school thr next day. She was going to be starting at a new school soon so it was better for her to not get attached to her friends if she hadn’t already. Since she had slept early the previous night, she woke up according and came to wake me up in my room.I yawned sleepily, trying to ignore her but the girl was persistent. She wasn’t a baby but she wanted everyone to be awake whenever she was. “What is it?” I asked begrudgingly when she continued shaking me awake.“You said I’m going to school today so I have to wake up early.”I groaned. I remembered saying that to her yesterday afternoon but a lot of things had happened in less than twenty-four fours. A lot of things had changed as well. “You’re not going to school today,” I told her bluntly.“Why?” She pouted. “I want school!”The sleep was completely cleared from my eyes as I sat up on the bed. “Would you like to go to New York?”“New York?” She frowned.“The place we took the plane to last tim

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

JACKSON~•~I had work rivals. There were a lot of companies secretly competing with mine but I didn’t know anyone who would want to go the extra mile to sabotage me like this.Our products have been in use for years. It had been tested and verified and there had been no complaints about our skincare section so the fact that someone out there was claiming that it caused them cancer was saucy.Even worse, a news outlet quickly followed up with the information not bothering to verify its validity. They were playing with fire; the news outlet, the supposed dying man, and the other behind it.If they wanted to bring me down, they should at least use facts, they shouldn’t make up stuff that could be easily disproved.It was the first day of the new year and I was getting calls from everywhere. Almost every shareholder was trying to reach me at the same time. My father had told me to take care of it as soon as possible but how could I work effectively when everyone was blowing up my phone?
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 114. Mood
KIMBERLY~•~My mom didn’t want me to tell anyone, but Jackson wasn’t just anyone, was he? He was my husband and naturally, I was supposed to tell him about everything going on in my life.He pushed off the wall and approached me. “Cancer?” He asked again when I didn’t say anything, which made me wonder how long he had been listening in on me.“You were eavesdropping?” I accused.He shrugged, not feeling bad in the slightest. “If I didn’t, how would I know that your mom was sick and she’s taking it out on you?” Jackson questioned. “I thought we had agreed to trust each other?”“We did. I do trust you, Jackson.”He sat at the edge of the bed, close to me. “Then why can’t you still tell me anything? I’m your husband, baby. I’m supposed to share your worries.”I sighed. “It’s not like that at all. It’s just jot my secret to tell.”“But it’s your burden.”He was right. It was bothering me and I’d feel bad if he couldn’t open up to me about his burdens as well. “You’re right. I’m sorry. Ye

KIMBERLY~•~Things were beginning to look up for me.Asher had accepted me in his life. The scandal about my supposed nudes was dying down already. Well, a scandal about Chris dating two models at once was making its rounds on the internet so it took the limelight off of me.Chris had looked like a gentleman when we first met on the plane. I couldn’t believe that he was two-timing. Then again, it was the internet and everything could be taken out of context just for a story.Jackson had done his best to erase everything but some people had taken screenshots and even if I knew it was never going to be completely erased off the internet Jackson had vowed to legally deal with anyone who shared it. I was the lawyer in the couple but he was acting like one all the time.The only stress I had at the moment was my mother. I didn’t know if it made me a bad daughter but I was beginning to think she wasn’t sick and was just faking it because she kept using her sickness to manipulate me. If she

KIMBERLY~•~“Wake up wake up wake up, mommy! Santa came last night!”I shut my eyes even tighter and subconsciously moved away from the noise. “Mommyyyyyy!” Amelia started shaking me incessantly.I gritted my teeth as my eyes snapped open. Amelia wasn’t the only one present. Asher was also there and Jackson was grinning down at me.“Merry Christmas!” They chorused, agitating me even further.Jackson was a bastard. He didn’t let me sleep last night and we only got to sleep around two in the morning yet here he was, an accomplice to the little devil waking me up at seven in the morning. I held back a sigh and closed my eyes back.“Daddy says we need to have a good attitude during Christmas.” Amelia continued. “Or Santa will take back his presents.”Fuck Santa. Jackson and I spent days cracking our heads for the perfect presents for the kids yet all the credit was going to Santa.“Wake up, mommy! I want to open my stockings!”With a groan, I opened my eyes again and sat up. “I’m awake,
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 111. Worried
KIMBERLY~•~I was shocked to see that a new article had been uploaded and a lot of news outlets had run with the information. It was crazy. As soon as Jackson found out Emily was behind it, he reported her to the police. When did she have time to post a second article? Did she have an accomplice?When I traced the original article that contained my supposed nudes, I saw that it had been posted early this morning. Was it a timed post? She was even craftier than I thought. She didn’t care that she was getting arrested. She didn’t care that she would spend a longer time in jail after releasing those pictures. She didn’t care about anything but her revenge. It was crazy.As if I didn’t have a lot to worry about already, my parents were blowing up my phone with calls and texts. I knew opening their texts would annoy me but I did it anyway.[Mom: Kimberly, call me back right now!][Mom (2): what kind of pictures are those? Why did you take them? Don’t you have respect for yourself?][Mom (
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 110. Love
KIMBERLY~•~Everything was happening too fast. The messages were traced back to Emily, which made me understand why the blackmailer was so desperate for money. She had been cut off from her family and since she wasn’t working, she had gone broke and needed money as soon as possible.Jackson was quite shocked to find out it was her but he was relieved it was her and not some other person who had evil intentions towards me. He said it was a good enough reason to lock her up since there was no proof of her orchestrating his accident.On our way back to the city, Jackson contacted the police and forwarded the evidence he had to them. I had asked him if he wasn’t going to inform his parents first before taking action but he dismissed it and said he had to act fast before she released another article.It was late at night, but Jackson insisted we return to New York immediately after the wedding was over. It was only an hour's journey but the kids were already asleep.“You’ve endured a lot
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 109. Challenge
JACKSON~•~Someone was testing my fucking patience. I hadn’t been okay with Kimberly’s decision to forget about such a serious issue until after the wedding but I didn’t want to make a big deal about it since it was about her and it was her best friend’s wedding. It seemed like the blackmailer had other thoughts though.Without saying anything, I took the phone back from Kimberly and forwarded the message to my secretary as well as the number accompanied by a message of my own.[Me: take care of this as soon as possible]Thankfully, his reply came immediately.[Okay sir]“What did you do?” Kimberly questioned when she saw that I had pocketed my phone. “Don’t worry about it.” The topic easily got me worked up. The only reason the blackmailer was doing this for me but they were stupid enough to try and create a scandal with fake news. It could be proven wrong but once it was out there, some people were going to believe it no matter what. I didn’t want her reputation to be tainted with

KIMBERLY~•~Jackson and I agreed to take care of the blackmailer after Reiya’s wedding.However, I knew the person behind the screen wouldn’t take too well with getting ignored so I just told them to give me some time to get the money. After telling them I’d get back to them in a week, I put it at the back of my mind and focused on my best friend’s wedding.The days passed by in a blur and in no time, it was her big day. Amelia and Asher had arrived early in the morning. Caro said they were eager to come because they missed us. They were with their father though as I still had to be by Reiya’s side.“You look stunning babe,” I told Reiya when she started looking into the mirror too much. I could tell she was anxious but I couldn’t blame her. I was just as anxious on my wedding day and I wasn’t even getting married out of love.Then again, I think that made my anxiety even worse. I didn’t want to do something stupid and make him regret his choice to marry me.“You think?”“Come on Rei
