The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 92. Amnesia
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

KIMBERLY~•~Jackson’s line wasn’t going through. I had told him to come back early but four hours later, he still wasn’t back. I tried calling him but he wasn’t answering and it had me worried.I even resorted to calling Emily to ask about Jackson’s whereabouts but the brat didn’t pick up as well. I wondered how their talk went.I called Jackson for the umpteenth time before I finally dropped a text for him.[Me: why aren’t you taking your calls? Are you alright? Call me back?]After I sent the message, I dropped my phone in my bag and got out of the car. I was driving one of Jackson’s cars as my car was in the repair shop. I doubted I’d ever drive it again though. It carried bad memories and I’d probably end up selling it or giving it out.I exhaled and stepped into the restaurant where my mom and I would be having lunch. Surprisingly, she had arrived already. Growing up, my mom was always late. According to her, beauty takes time and she’d rather be fashionably late than look ugly

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

JACKSON~•~I had work rivals. There were a lot of companies secretly competing with mine but I didn’t know anyone who would want to go the extra mile to sabotage me like this.Our products have been in use for years. It had been tested and verified and there had been no complaints about our skincare section so the fact that someone out there was claiming that it caused them cancer was saucy.Even worse, a news outlet quickly followed up with the information not bothering to verify its validity. They were playing with fire; the news outlet, the supposed dying man, and the other behind it.If they wanted to bring me down, they should at least use facts, they shouldn’t make up stuff that could be easily disproved.It was the first day of the new year and I was getting calls from everywhere. Almost every shareholder was trying to reach me at the same time. My father had told me to take care of it as soon as possible but how could I work effectively when everyone was blowing up my phone?
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 114. Mood
KIMBERLY~•~My mom didn’t want me to tell anyone, but Jackson wasn’t just anyone, was he? He was my husband and naturally, I was supposed to tell him about everything going on in my life.He pushed off the wall and approached me. “Cancer?” He asked again when I didn’t say anything, which made me wonder how long he had been listening in on me.“You were eavesdropping?” I accused.He shrugged, not feeling bad in the slightest. “If I didn’t, how would I know that your mom was sick and she’s taking it out on you?” Jackson questioned. “I thought we had agreed to trust each other?”“We did. I do trust you, Jackson.”He sat at the edge of the bed, close to me. “Then why can’t you still tell me anything? I’m your husband, baby. I’m supposed to share your worries.”I sighed. “It’s not like that at all. It’s just jot my secret to tell.”“But it’s your burden.”He was right. It was bothering me and I’d feel bad if he couldn’t open up to me about his burdens as well. “You’re right. I’m sorry. Ye
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 113. Sick
KIMBERLY~•~Things were beginning to look up for me.Asher had accepted me in his life. The scandal about my supposed nudes was dying down already. Well, a scandal about Chris dating two models at once was making its rounds on the internet so it took the limelight off of me.Chris had looked like a gentleman when we first met on the plane. I couldn’t believe that he was two-timing. Then again, it was the internet and everything could be taken out of context just for a story.Jackson had done his best to erase everything but some people had taken screenshots and even if I knew it was never going to be completely erased off the internet Jackson had vowed to legally deal with anyone who shared it. I was the lawyer in the couple but he was acting like one all the time.The only stress I had at the moment was my mother. I didn’t know if it made me a bad daughter but I was beginning to think she wasn’t sick and was just faking it because she kept using her sickness to manipulate me. If she

KIMBERLY~•~“Wake up wake up wake up, mommy! Santa came last night!”I shut my eyes even tighter and subconsciously moved away from the noise. “Mommyyyyyy!” Amelia started shaking me incessantly.I gritted my teeth as my eyes snapped open. Amelia wasn’t the only one present. Asher was also there and Jackson was grinning down at me.“Merry Christmas!” They chorused, agitating me even further.Jackson was a bastard. He didn’t let me sleep last night and we only got to sleep around two in the morning yet here he was, an accomplice to the little devil waking me up at seven in the morning. I held back a sigh and closed my eyes back.“Daddy says we need to have a good attitude during Christmas.” Amelia continued. “Or Santa will take back his presents.”Fuck Santa. Jackson and I spent days cracking our heads for the perfect presents for the kids yet all the credit was going to Santa.“Wake up, mommy! I want to open my stockings!”With a groan, I opened my eyes again and sat up. “I’m awake,
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 111. Worried
KIMBERLY~•~I was shocked to see that a new article had been uploaded and a lot of news outlets had run with the information. It was crazy. As soon as Jackson found out Emily was behind it, he reported her to the police. When did she have time to post a second article? Did she have an accomplice?When I traced the original article that contained my supposed nudes, I saw that it had been posted early this morning. Was it a timed post? She was even craftier than I thought. She didn’t care that she was getting arrested. She didn’t care that she would spend a longer time in jail after releasing those pictures. She didn’t care about anything but her revenge. It was crazy.As if I didn’t have a lot to worry about already, my parents were blowing up my phone with calls and texts. I knew opening their texts would annoy me but I did it anyway.[Mom: Kimberly, call me back right now!][Mom (2): what kind of pictures are those? Why did you take them? Don’t you have respect for yourself?][Mom (
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 110. Love
KIMBERLY~•~Everything was happening too fast. The messages were traced back to Emily, which made me understand why the blackmailer was so desperate for money. She had been cut off from her family and since she wasn’t working, she had gone broke and needed money as soon as possible.Jackson was quite shocked to find out it was her but he was relieved it was her and not some other person who had evil intentions towards me. He said it was a good enough reason to lock her up since there was no proof of her orchestrating his accident.On our way back to the city, Jackson contacted the police and forwarded the evidence he had to them. I had asked him if he wasn’t going to inform his parents first before taking action but he dismissed it and said he had to act fast before she released another article.It was late at night, but Jackson insisted we return to New York immediately after the wedding was over. It was only an hour's journey but the kids were already asleep.“You’ve endured a lot
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 109. Challenge
JACKSON~•~Someone was testing my fucking patience. I hadn’t been okay with Kimberly’s decision to forget about such a serious issue until after the wedding but I didn’t want to make a big deal about it since it was about her and it was her best friend’s wedding. It seemed like the blackmailer had other thoughts though.Without saying anything, I took the phone back from Kimberly and forwarded the message to my secretary as well as the number accompanied by a message of my own.[Me: take care of this as soon as possible]Thankfully, his reply came immediately.[Okay sir]“What did you do?” Kimberly questioned when she saw that I had pocketed my phone. “Don’t worry about it.” The topic easily got me worked up. The only reason the blackmailer was doing this for me but they were stupid enough to try and create a scandal with fake news. It could be proven wrong but once it was out there, some people were going to believe it no matter what. I didn’t want her reputation to be tainted with
The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me 108. Blurred
KIMBERLY~•~Jackson and I agreed to take care of the blackmailer after Reiya’s wedding.However, I knew the person behind the screen wouldn’t take too well with getting ignored so I just told them to give me some time to get the money. After telling them I’d get back to them in a week, I put it at the back of my mind and focused on my best friend’s wedding.The days passed by in a blur and in no time, it was her big day. Amelia and Asher had arrived early in the morning. Caro said they were eager to come because they missed us. They were with their father though as I still had to be by Reiya’s side.“You look stunning babe,” I told Reiya when she started looking into the mirror too much. I could tell she was anxious but I couldn’t blame her. I was just as anxious on my wedding day and I wasn’t even getting married out of love.Then again, I think that made my anxiety even worse. I didn’t want to do something stupid and make him regret his choice to marry me.“You think?”“Come on Rei
