The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 47. Disrespectful
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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 52. Own boss
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

KIMBERLY~•~“This is so entertaining!” Emelda exclaimed as I walked past her with a box stacked on another.I rolled my eyes, ignoring her. The only reason she was making such comments was because she was looking for a fight. There was no other reason. And I wasn’t going to give it to her. I wasn’t a child.She continued making several comments even as I reached the elevator. When I got downstairs, everyone gasped in unison.“Miss Kim, are you leaving us?”“Were you fired?”“Of course not! Why would her boyfriend fire her? She probably resigned.”“Kimberly, we’ll miss you.”I chuckled. At least most of my colleagues loved me and liked to work with me. “I’ll miss you guys too.”“What happened? Are you working elsewhere?”There were a lot of questions that I didn’t have answers to. I just assured them that I wouldn’t forget about them and would make sure to reach out now and then. They accepted my words and two of the guys took the boxes from me and helped me take them to my car.“Than

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

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

KIMBERLY~•~ According to Jackson’s sources, George had left New York and Paige was all alone. I wondered if he had truly backed down or if this was another one of their schemes to take me by surprise.Either way, Paige wasn’t going to get out anytime soon and I was going to make sure of that.Now that Paige was helpless and alone behind bars, Jackson was making preparations for my party. I didn’t know anything about planning parties. The only activities I’d ever organized were Amelia’s birthdays and even then, the guests were never more than five.Jackson invited an event planner so I didn’t even have to do anything. I merely answered questions the planner had about my preferences and left the rest up to her.“It’s kinda unfair that we’re starting up a firm together and you’re the only one having a party,” Reiya said as she popped a grape in her mouth.I chuckled. “You’re very much welcome to join.” I shrugged. The party wasn’t my idea in the first place. It was Jackson’s idea and s
