The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 78. Ex
KIMBERLY~•~Jackson groaned against my lips when my phone rang for the second time. I chuckled, trying to pull away but he held me in place, deepening the kiss.“It might be important, Jack.”“Fuck that.” He muttered and kissed me again.My phone rang for the third time and that was when Jackson pulled back with a sigh. His lips were swollen from kissing me and I was certain my lips mirrored his.“Who the hell is that?” He grumbled, giving me space to grab my phone off the nightstand.My forehead creased as I stared at the caller. “It’s George.”“Ignore him.”“He has called thrice. Let me find out what he wants.” He had blocked my line long ago so if he was calling me, it had to be something important. Jackson rolled his eyes but didn’t stop me from answering the call. “George?” I asked just to be sure it was him.“Can we meet this evening?”I frowned. “What for?” His defending Paige was him basically declaring war against me. I didn’t hold any grudge against him even when he fired m

JACKSON~•~I wasn’t very comfortable with Kimberly meeting George. It was obvious he didn’t have any good intentions towards her. If he did, he wouldn’t have fired her from the only job she’d ever gotten in her life.However, I knew she didn’t like him so that wouldn’t be a problem. I just hoped it wasn’t another plot of Paige’s. Besides, she and George were working together now.As instructed, I waited over at the cafe opposite the bar. I ordered a cup of coffee and watched the building across as though I could see anything.I looked at my watch on my wrist and sighed when I saw that it had only been five minutes since she went in. How was I supposed to survive over here for another fifty-five minutes? I should have insisted on following her inside.Bored already, I brought out my phone from my pocket to see if I had any emails to respond to. Before I could even unlock the phone, I saw a shadow fall over me.I didn’t bother to look up and the uninvited guest sat down on the chair be

KIMBERLY~•~I was taken aback when Jackson suddenly turned the car around, heading back to the direction we were coming from.“Jackson!” I yelled, my eyes wide as I wondered what he wanted to do. “What are you doing?”Jackson didn’t respond and just continued driving at a faster speed than usual.“Please, Jackson, don’t do anything stupid. It’s most likely a bait.”At those words, he spared me a glance. “I told you, didn’t I? But you insisted on meeting him anyway. Are you happy with yourself now?”I stared at him incredulously. “Are you blaming me for him kissing me?”He didn’t answer and just clenched his jaw.“Turn back around, Jackson.” Jackson pretended like he couldn’t hear me. “Jack!” I yelled. “Either reverse the car or drop me off right now.”For a moment, he just continued driving like I didn’t say anything, but he eventually pulled over by the side of the road. I looked at him with my mouth open. Did he really want to drop me off? Was getting back at George instantly that

KIMBERLY~•~I had woken up this morning to my business license but I couldn’t even be happy about it. Jackson had warned me that meeting with George might be a trap and indeed, it was.I let out a sigh for the umpteenth time that morning as I continued staring at the article on my laptop screen. There were two pictures; one of me and George kissing and the other of Paige drinking from Jackson’s cup of coffee. Both pictures appeared romantic and the heading hit the nail right on the head.‘REKINDLED LOVERS SEEN WITH THEIR OLD LOVERS. WAS THEIR RELATIONSHIP A SHAM?’We had thought that by not reacting, we wouldn’t be playing into their plan but we thought wrong. The plan had been to put us in a compromising situation and capture the scene. They were sick. I didn’t know what they intended to achieve from this but it was affecting Jackson’s stocks.It hadn’t been more than five hours since the article and the stocks were plummeting already. I was frustrated and didn’t know what to do. I

KIMBERLY~•~I never thought a day would come when I would be involved in a press conference to explain the matters of my life to outsiders, but here it was.Society was brainwashed into thinking they had a say in Jackson’s life and since I was connected to Jackson, I had to face the consequences of their backward thinking too. Every little thing in Jackson’s life had his stocks falling and rising as though he was selling his personal life to others.That was beside the point. I was nervous. The press conference could go two ways; either they believed it or they said we were fabricating lies. I could only hope I didn’t say anything that further affected his company.Jackson placed his hands on my shoulder, massaging slightly. “Don’t be tense. They can’t hurt you.” He reminded me.I let out a deep breath and turned to face him. “Yeah, but they affect our lives directly or indirectly. I don’t want them to keep writing hurtful things about you.”Jackson arched an eyebrow. “You’re not con

KIMBERLY~•~Surprisingly, the press conference was effective and all the blind supporters of Paige and George started to turn on them. It pleased me more than I cared to admit. I never thought a day would come when I’d be okay with George being blasted by the public but he clearly didn’t give a fuck about me so why should I care about his feelings?While George tried to restore his image, Paige was still silent. It seemed like she didn’t even care about what was going on even if she had more to lose. George could go back to California and try to block New York’s news from getting there. He could go back to being the perfect lawyer.Either way, I saw this as the perfect opportunity to strike.I stood by the door with the cops as we waited for Paige to open the door. Because of Jackson’s influence, the cops allowed me to tag along for Paige’s arrest.When she took too long to open the door, I rang the doorbell again. A few seconds later, I heard slow footsteps and soon, the door was pu

GEORGE~•~I fucked up badly.I had told myself I wasn’t petty enough to ruin Kimberly’s career because of my heartbreak yet I was stupid enough to drop all my pending tasks, leave California, and come to New York to make a fool out of myself.I didn’t even know what I was thinking. When I answered Paige’s call at first, I thought her request for me to represent her was audacious. I cared about Amelia and she was asking me to defend her against Amelia, but over time the devil reared its ugly head and I found myself packing up and booking a flight.Kimberly and I might have broken up because she was still in love with her ex-husband, but that wasn’t reason enough for me to betray her like that.As if the betrayal wasn’t enough, I went ahead to set her up, kiss her, and capture it on camera. That was too low, even for me. I didn’t hate Kimberly. Jackson was the one I hated and while I didn’t care about his stupid company, my actions directly impacted Kimberly’s life. I had thought I did

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

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
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

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
