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~•~“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

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
