The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 62. Kidnapper
KIMBERLY~•~Paige was not taking her calls. She had gone into hiding, which further proved her guilt.Jackson and I visited her house but when we got there, the door had been left open. Her clothes had been thrown around in the room as though she had been in a rush.It frustrated me. Getting to her was the fastest way to find Amelia but she was nowhere to be found. I felt like punching something and her face was number one on the list.“What are we going to do now?” I asked Jackson as we left Paige’s place.“Arthur has informed me that there were only three cars that looked like mine. They are tracking all three of them.”I nodded. I wasn’t going to be relieved until Amelia was back in my arms but that was a start. Jackson didn’t even bother to tell the police. He had his men get the CCTV footage close to the school and we had started from there.“Let’s go back to my place. Asher must have finished drawing by now. From there, we’ll go to the police.”I nodded, letting him take the le

JACKSON~•~Paige hired the wrong men for the job. When we arrived at the house, all three of them were just sitting on the couch, watching TV. It seemed as if they hadn’t even seen the news or they would have fled by now.I was the first to enter and they were on alert immediately. “Who are you?” One of the fools asked.I didn’t answer. I just signaled the cops and soon, five cops were inside with me, guns drawn, and pointed at the three men on the couch.“Hands behind your heads.” One of the cops commanded while I started looking through the apartment.It was a small one and the first door I opened, which was the bedroom, revealed my daughter. It had been locked from the outside.She was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall and hugging herself. “Kimberly!” At the sound of my voice, Amelia’s head snapped to me. “Daddy!” She stood up at once but before she could run, she fell to the ground. I rushed toward her immediately and picked her up.Kimberly rushed inside the roo

KIMBERLY~•~Twenty-four hours later my parents hadn’t stopped calling me yet. After Reiya came over the previous day, I called George back and after I assured him that Amelia was fine, he hung up.I tried to call him after that but his number wasn’t going through. He had blocked me again.That was what I should have done to my parents but I just couldn’t bring myself to block them or change my number, no matter how much I tried. I hated it.I knew that if they ever tried to apologize to me, I would run back to them. No matter how grown I was, I still craved the approval of my parents. It was almost pathetic.Not to anyone’s surprise, my phone rang again.Reiya pursed her lips. She had a lot to say but she was keeping it to herself. I was still sensitive from the whole Amelia situation and she didn’t want to annoy me or get me mad.“Mommy, your phone keeps ringing,” Amelia stated the obvious. The least I could do was keep it silent but I couldn’t. The ringing reminded me how much my p

JACKSON~•~I would think that being thirty-four already would save me from scoldings, but it seemed like my father didn’t give a damn if I was five or fifty. He was going to scold me anyway.“What is this I’m hearing about a child, Jackson?” My father asked, his eyes narrowed on me.I had finally taken his calls and was sitting across from him in his home office.“And why am I just hearing about it now?” He fired another question before I could answer the first one. “Do you know what the media is saying about both of you right now? Our stocks are reducing! What do you have to say about that?”I pinched the bridge of my nose. I had promised my father that I would take care of the company properly but somehow my personal affairs were affecting the company. I couldn’t help it.“Why did you even have to announce to the public you had a child with your ex-wife? Couldn’t you have taken care of this quietly?”“My daughter’s life was at stake, father,” I emphasized, finally answering him. “W

KIMBERLY~•~I was absolutely taken by surprise when I stepped out of the lobby of the hotel and was suddenly surrounded by cameras and reporters.I couldn’t even turn back because I was caught in between all of them. I hissed in annoyance. This could have been avoided if I moved to my apartment as scheduled. “Is it true that you’re a single mother?”“Did Jackson abandon you for another woman?”“Is Jackson Clarke the father of the baby?”“Did you cheat on him?”“Did he leave you because of your infidelity?”“Who is the father of your child?”I gritted my teeth as I pushed through the crowd, not caring if they hit each other or not. If I had known they were outside, I never would have come out. How the hell did they find my hotel anyway? These people were crazy.I’d done my best to ignore all the weird and disrespectful articles they published about me. As long as it wasn’t affecting me, I didn’t see any reason to react to it. Stalking me, however, was a different story. If I had know

JACKSON~•~“I have a suggestion, but I feel like you’re going to punch me for it.”Kimberly eyed me warily. She knew she wouldn’t like what I’d say but her curiosity got the better of her. “What is that?” I shifted away from her, sitting at the far end of the couch so there would be enough space between us. She chuckled. “Just spit it out already.”“I know you’ve seen all the articles and every other thing the news outlet is saying concerning us.”“I have…” she said hesitantly like she was scared to hear what I had to say after she knew the topic of conversation.“Amelia will be enrolled in a new school soon.” I didn’t know if attending three different schools in the space of two months was going to traumatize our daughter but I sincerely hoped not. Kimberly was considering homeschooling but then, she thought of how much Amelia loved school so we had to start searching for a new school with very tight security.We finally found one. It was a lot more expensive than the last one but i

KIMBERLY~•~Jackson thought a good way to show the public that we were together was to follow him to a charity gala.Those were my worst types of events. It was just a farce. It was a bunch of rich people pretending they had humanity. It was filled with fake ass people who would love to see you crumble but would worship the ground you walked on as long as you were on a higher level than them.How could I ever say no to that?Well, I did say no but Jackson ended up convincing me and now, we were in front of the hall where the event was being hosted.We were still in the limousine and the reporters were eagerly staring at it, wondering who was coming out.“Can I go out now?” Jackson questioned, staring at me.I’d told him to give me a minute before he went out and I was hoping that minute would stretch into two or three. Jackson was unnecessarily punctual. “Fine.”“Don’t worry, it’ll be alright. You don’t have to talk to anyone you don’t want to.”“I don’t intend to.” I scoffed.Jackso

KIMBERLY~•~It was weird to think that Chris lied to me. I only met him once he acted like he only recognized me when he saw me with Jackson.What exactly was he up to? What was his deal? What would he gain from pretending he didn’t know who I was?A lot of people in New York knew me as long as they knew Jackson. Whether I liked it or not, I was automatically an extension of him. If Chris was Jackson’s rival as claimed, then he definitely knew me. Business rivals tried their best to find out everything about each other and news about me and Jackson were plastered everywhere on the internet. He didn’t even have to dig deep.“So what? I’m not supposed to talk to him because he’s your rival? Even you have to talk to him.” I pointed out.I didn’t like being caught in between petty beef. Maybe this one wasn’t so petty but I didn’t want to be in the middle anyway. The more Jackson reacted whenever Chris came close to me, the more Chris would do it just to mess with Jack.“I don’t want you

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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 123. Final chapter
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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 122. Surprise
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
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 119. Manipulative
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
