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

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

JACKSON~•~I wanted to wait for Kimberly so we could all go back to New York today but she suggested I leave first with Amelia. It was the first time I was going to be traveling alone with a child. I couldn’t deny that I was quite scared.However, since Kimberly trusted me to fly alone with Amelia, it meant I had nothing to worry about. Amelia was very excited to go on an airplane anyway.I’d always wondered why my father had a private jet but now that I was to fly with my daughter, I was contemplating buying one as well. Amelia’s suitcase was bigger than expected, which made me wonder how long Kimberly would take to come to New York. According to her, she wanted to wrap up some loose ends. The only thing that gave me hope that she’d eventually relocate was the fact that Amelia was coming with me and she would never abandon her.“Is it okay if I introduce Amelia to Asher? He is staying with me for a while.” I didn’t want to do anything that she wouldn’t be comfortable with. Kimberly

JACKSON~•~I watched as they stared at each other curiously. As expected, Amelia was the first to break the silence. She turned to look at me. “My classmate told me she had a lot of brothers and sisters. Now I finally have a brother. Daddy, can you give me a sister too?”My eyes went wide but she stared at me with such hopeful eyes that I didn’t dare deny her. “I’ll try my best, baby.”Asher, on the other hand, “I don’t want a sister!”Ameli looked at him, her eyes almost popping out. “You don’t want me?” She asked the question with puppy dog eyes, looking so sad that even Asher got the gist that he couldn’t affirm it.“That’s not what I meant. I– You–“I laughed when he stumbled on his words. Even though they were just kids, I was thankful that they didn’t hold any resentment for each other. No child liked to share their parents with someone they had never seen before. I could only hope the world didn’t strip them of their purity.“Asher, why don’t you show Amelia around? When you

KIMBERLY~•~Having Amelia in a different city prompted me to move faster. I only lasted two more days in California before I was packing up my shit to leave. I hadn’t even found an apartment yet. I intended to stay at a hotel while I figured that out.I had thought a break would be nice. I’d been working and taking care of Amelia all year round. I deserved a vacation yet my heart wasn’t at peace, knowing she was a few hours away from me.My house was almost empty as I’d spent the last two days fitting all we had into boxes. I wasn’t moving them with me. I’d ship them to New York after I got settled there.I was just about to leave the house when I got a text from Jackson. He had told his IT guy to track the source of the article before removing it and he told me it was from my office, along with the model of the phone used. All the evidence pointed to Emelda.I contemplated paying her a visit but I didn’t want to run into George again which was why I merely sent a text.I forwarded h

KIMBERLY ~•~ I was surprised that the two men knew each other. I was even more shocked to see them glaring at each other. I cocked my head, looking between the two men. “Do you know each other?” “Yes, we do,” Chris answered me. “We’ve met a lot.” “Have we?” Jack acted oblivious. “You must be a fan. Sorry, I don’t recall you.” However, the glare suggested otherwise. It was obvious Jackson knew how Chris was. He just didn’t like him. Chris laughed, not caring about Jack’s dab. “Well, how would you? You’re too busy running after your ex-wife in California to be aware of your surroundings. What a businessman you are.” Chris paused when all of us remained silent and his eyes went wide as he turned to look at me. “Oh, oh.” He had come to a realization that I was the ex-wife he was speaking out. “This is no shade to you, Kim.” “Kim?” Jackson repeated, unamused. “You’re acquainted?” “We’re quite close if I do say so myself.” Chris bragged even if all I knew about him was his na

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

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
