The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 91. Hope
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

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~•~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~•~“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

JACKSON~•~My memories hit me like a freight train.Paige and I separating mere months after being together for Asher’s sake. Me trying to get information about Kimberly from her parents fruitlessly. Paige coming back into my life trying to be just friends. Paige convincing me to sign a deal I was unsure of. Paige disappearing when the truth came out.Almost getting shunned by the public. Seeking an attorney in California. Kimberly representing me in court.My eyes snapped open and a rush of air filled my lungs. I looked beside me to see Kimberly sleeping peacefully. My hand reached out to cup her face and my finger traced from her forehead to her chin. How could I ever forget anything about her?She stirred in her sleep and I knew I should have let her sleep but I was too selfish to stop touching her now.I wasn’t surprised when her eyes fluttered open and she frowned as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. When her eyes landed on me again, her frown deepened, making a creas

JACKSON~•~I froze, wondering if I heard well or not.Kimberly and I had been good for the past couple of months. Since we got back together, we had never fought or disagreed, which made me wonder where this was coming from. Was she not interested in being married to me? Didn’t she want to be mine officially? I knew damn well I was hers already.“What? Why? Do you want to leave me?”Her eyes widened as though she just realized the implications of what she said. “No, no. That’s not what I meant. I, uh, shall we sit down for this?”I took hold of her hand and led her down the stairs since we had been standing in the middle of the staircase. I sat down on one of the couches and pulled her down to sit beside me, making sure our legs were touching.I wanted her on my lap but she was talking about a divorce and if she was annoyed already, I didn’t want to annoy her even further. Emily had already sent me the address and was likely waiting for me but I didn’t care.“Talk to me. Tell me what

JACKSON~•~Emily and I sat across from each other at a cafe close to their friend’s house. We only came out for coffee yet she was dressed like she was going out for a party.I stayed silent, staring at her, waiting for her to say something, preferably an apology. Maybe if she did so, I would take Kimberly’s suggestion into consideration. “I’m sorry.” Emily finally said after a long moment of awkward silence. There it was. “I didn’t know you’d drive Kimberly’s car.”I kept quiet, waiting for her to continue and when she didn’t, I frowned. “That’s all?”She frowned as well as though she was in any place to be confused. “What else?”I let out a frustrated hiss. “Are you stupid?”She reeled back in shock. “What? Why?”“You are not even remorseful of your actions. You don’t realize that someone could have died. I could have died.”“Which is why I apologized! I didn’t mean to get you involved in this.”“Lord,” I mumbled to myself. I gave her too much credit. “So you don’t care that somet

JACKSON~•~“What?” I was certain Emily was bluffing. She was hurt so she was looking for anything to hurt me with.“You think I’m lying?” She scoffed, not caring about how her words would affect me. “Go and ask Paige about it. Asher is not your child. She just pretended he is because her baby daddy is useless.”Emily and Paige weren’t close so even if it was true, how did she know this? In fact, if she knew this, why didn’t she reveal it until now? After Paige put our company in trouble, my family hated her so Emily was bound to reveal this news then if it was true.I looked at her skeptically, trying to make sense of it. “You’re just saying this.”“For someone that runs a billion-dollar company, you’re quite naive. No wonder Paige used you so much. I wonder if Kimberly is currently doing the same thing to you. After all, your marriage was transactional in the first place.”I gritted my teeth. I knew she was trying to rile me up but I couldn’t help but think that there was a semblanc

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

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
