The Billionaire's Wrong Revenge: Darling, Please Come Back 1. Heartbreak
_____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."I am so drained." I confided in my best friend, Sarah Hopkins. "I just can't handle all this nonsense anymore, Sarah.""What's up, Liv?" She replied, "Your stupid Dad dumped more work on you again? Or did your Mom want you to meet her socialite friends to show off her perfect daughter?"I fidgeted with my phone, balancing it between my ear and shoulder as I worked on the day's never-ending report. "Neither, though I think those might have been better. It's my and Jack's six-month anniversary today and they are throwing a huge useless party!""Oh yeah, I got the invite a month ago." She sighed. I could hear her typing away on her computer as well. "But I thought you said you wanted to keep it low-key?""I would have loved that." I slumped in my chair, taking a break from all the typing. "Jack has been making all these really sweet tiny gestures for the past five months. But the past month, he has been insanely busy and closed off so I figur

_____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.I stared at the paparazzi photos and videos of my husband hugging and kissing another woman. The last video was of today when they were caught walking out of a hotel hand in hand - the same hotel where we had spent our first night as a married couple because we didn't have the time in our busy schedule for a honeymoon.Apparently, the husband who didn't have time to take a Sunday off from work had the time to take another woman."What have you done?" My Mom screamed. "How could you not know? How could you let this go on for so long?"Jack had been with this woman even before our wedding.Then why the hell had he even married me?I dialled his number one more time. Though all the proof that I needed was right in front of me, I was still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I was willing to give him a chance at an explanation.My heart ached. Like it was about to explode inside my ribs.I loved him just too much.But I knew this pain

_______________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~....FIVE YEARS LATER...."Kelsey Jennifer Smith, you really need to get up now or you will be late!" I walked into my baby's room, a spatula in hand to find that my baby girl who had to leave for kindergarten in half an hour was still in bed and with the blanket over her head."I don't want to go to school!" She whined from under her space-themed blanket.I sat down on the edge of the bed and placed my hand on where I saw the bump of her head. "And why is that, monkey?" I asked her, lighting tapping on what I assumed to be her forehead.Kelsey threw the blanket off her face and pouted. "I will go to school if you give me something that I am going to ask you!"Oh boy. This was never fun.My baby girl, no matter how much I hated to admit it, was a product where the sperm won the gene battle. My genes didn't even try. Except for hair color and face shape.So she was stubborn as an ox, like her biological father.And she always got what she w

_______________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.I took a deep breath and steeled myself. I could do this.But did I want to do this?He would leave if he thought I was not here, right?What did he want from me?I swiped at my cheeks and took another deep breath. I had to be strong.I unlocked the door and pulled it open.Jackson stood there, looking as handsome as ever, but his eyes were filled with something unreadable. Regret? Pity? I couldn't tell. I could never tell."Liv." He said, his voice thick.I raised a brow. Liv? LIV?Jackson's gaze searched my face, looking for something.I kept my face a mask. "What do you want, Jackson?"He stepped closer, and the scent of his cologne hit me like a tidal wave of memories. "Can I come in?""Umm... No." I said blankly.Jackson's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Liv, I need to talk to you."I smiled at him."I don't want to listen to a word you say." I shot back.Jackson looked taken aback, his eyes widening for a moment before he regained hi

_____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."Mommy, Mommy!" My angel ran towards me. "I told all my friends you will get me a Daddy for Christmas!"I mentally face-palmed.Why did I think that was a good idea?I smiled at her nevertheless. "Did you, now?""Yes!" She fell into my arms and I picked her up."Maybe you should have kept it a secret. As a surprise."What was the use of telling her that now?My darling thought for a moment. "Oh, I should have!"I patted her head as I walked to the car. "That's okay. No need to fret over it now.""Okay. Mommy, will you get me ice cream today?" She asked as I buckled her into her car seat."Hmm..." I pretended to think about it. This was my chance. "Do you want ice cream now or Daddy in two weeks? You can only choose one."I waited for Kelsey to choose the former. Come on, it was such an easy choice. Who would choose Daddy over ice cream?"Daddy!" She threw her hands up in the air.Apparently, my daughter would choose Daddy over ice cream.S

________________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.I stopped abruptly only to almost fall over forward when Jackson bumped into me. He threw his arms forward and around me, exactly around my breasts."They are bigger than I remember." I heard him mutter.I shrugged him off and whipped around to glare at him. "Excuse me?""What?" He shrugged as if it was entirely normal for an asshole to grope his ex."Keep your hands off of me!" I gritted out."You would have fallen and broken your nose if I hadn't." He said as he touched his own swollen nose."My nose, my business. Stay out of it." I stomped my foot. I knew it looked childish but I really did not have the energy to take this up with him like a proper adult. It was taxing to have a dynamo for a daughter. Besides, I had had a fairly taxing day otherwise as well.He opened his mouth like a fish, as if he wanted to say something. But he was smart enough to think that it was a bad idea and close his mouth and simply nod.I squared my shoulde

_________________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."What Christmas present?" Jackson asked.Before I could handle the situation, Kelsey spoke up. "Mommy is getting me a Daddy for Christmas." She held up two fingers. "In two weeks."I kept staring at my daughter even when I felt Jackson's eyes boring into my skull."Hello, Mr. Stranger." Kelsey diverted his attention and I finally felt his laser gaze leave me. Why did it feel like we were back in the past and he had some crazy power over me again?This was not good. I needed to get my shit together.For the past five years, I was positive that I would not see or hear from Jackson ever again. Never did I harbor any hopes of him showing up at my door. I was desperate to move on, desperate to give my daughter only the best because she deserved nothing but the best.And I was convinced that I had indeed moved on.And I still do believe that.Except, I feel like he is still capable of manipulating me. Still capable of making me feel that I d

________________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ ."My name is Jackson Reign," Jackson told my sweet sweet girl as he knelt down in front of her. "I am your Mommy's... friend. What's your name?""I am Kelsey Smith." Kelsey gave him a toothed grin as she put forward her hand, which he took. "I am my Mommy's baby.""Yes, that you are." He grinned back.My heart felt like someone was squeezing it inside their fist. It was not a good feeling but the scene in front of me was something that I had dreamt of endless times even though I had no hopes of it really happening. It was so hard to navigate through my heartache when this particular scene haunted my dreams. "So how long have you known Mommy?" Kelsey was ever the curious kid. She took Jackson's hand and tugged at him, a gesture that brought a very wide variety of emotions in Jackson's eyes. And I could not and did not want to decipher any of them. I was done trying to do that. Jackson and I were way past those days."Umm, five years?"I

_____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."You still do this?" Jackson laughed as he wrapped his arms around my waist from the back, making me jump.I still was not comfortable with this but Jackson seemed oblivious to the tension as he fell right back into his old ways. The man's love language was physical touch and words of affirmation.In the last three days, I had caught him almost blurt out 'I love you' several times.Did he love me?Like he said he did when he first showed up.I sighed.I still doubted him, and I felt like all of this affection was a ticking time bomb that was going to go off at any point and ruin everything for everybody."I like traditions," I murmured, focusing on washing the grapes. "And the Spanish one. Not the TikTok one which is all about finding your partner. I don't think my four-year-old is ready for that yet."Jackson chuckled, his breath warm on my neck. "So what are you wishing for this year? Twelve wishes right? For twelve months?"I shrugged,

Kelsey whined as she pretended to read the instruction manual for assembling the indoor kennel.Jackson had the tip of his tongue poking out from the side of his lips as he screwed two segments together completely wrong.I sighed frustratedly, Pickles looking up from my lap and then back at the mess that the two were creating."Why don't you both take a break?" I asked. "Have some of the caramel toffee muffins that Ms. Jenkins dropped off and some orange juice from the fridge. Meanwhile, I will just take a look at your handiwork-""No!" Jackson and Kelsey yelled at the same time, each holding a hand up."Why not?" I asked."Everyone knows you are good at this thing, Liv." I still had to get used to him casually calling him Liv again. I wanted to tell him that we had not reached that stage yet but since I had agreed to give

"What is it that you wanted to talk about?"He took a deep breath, his gaze roaming over my face. "I know it's a lot to ask, Olivia, but I am asking to give me another chance."I opened my mouth to disagree immediately but he cut me off with his hand up in the air. "I am not asking you to forgive me. I know that it is not possible for anyone to forgive so easily after what I have done, especially when all I have done is say I am sorry verbally and never did anything to prove that I am sorry through my actions."He took another step closer, his eyes boring into mine. "But I want to be that person now. I want to be the person who shows you, every single day that I am sorry. That I regret everything that happened between us.""Jackson, I-"He cut me off again. "And I

_____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."Mommy!" The sound of Kelsey's excited voice pulled me out of my thoughts. She was standing in the doorway of my room, her eyes wide with excitement. "Daddy's here!"Jackson?I looked at the huge clock on the wall.It was seven in the morning. What was he doing here this early?I quickly straightened my pajamas and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. "What do you mean, Daddy's here?""He's downstairs with Uncle Will!" Kelsey exclaimed, bouncing on her toes. "They brought presents. Santa messed up the orders and dropped some of my presents there!"I blinked, trying to make sense of her words through the fog of sleep. "What are you talking about?""Daddy's downstairs," she repeated, her tone impatient."Why?""It's Christmas, Mommy!"I couldn't believe I had forgotten. It had been so chaotic with the funeral and the aftermath that the holiday had slipped my mind entirely.But as I saw the excitement in Kelsey's eyes, I knew I had to play along."O

"You think you can scare me?"I looked at her with a deadpan expression. "I'm not trying to scare you, Elena. I'm just stating the fact that this is a funeral. A place for mourning, not for drama."Her eyes narrowed, and she took a step closer to me. "Don't you dare act all high and mighty! You're just the desperate bitch he settled for because he couldn't have me."I felt my hands clench into fists at my sides. "This isn't the place for this. If you have anything to say to me, say it later."Elena smirked. "Oh, I'll save it for when he realizes his mistake and comes back to me, with his tail between his legs."I raised a brow.So they were really not together?And Jackson had initiated the

Jackson asked after dinner with my parents.Kelsey had fallen asleep in my father's arms and he had insisted that we stay for the night.And Jackson had refused to leave, going as far as to threaten to wake Kelsey up if he didn't get to stay.And then he had the audacity to ask me if he was making the situation harder for me.No shit, Sherlock!"Jackson," I hissed, my eyes flashing as I turned around to face him. "You have no idea."I was in the balcony, drinking a cup of chamomile tea. It helped me sleep. I needed it especially after he appeared back in my life."Olivia, we need to talk." I didn't know why he had followed me outside.All I knew was that I really did not want to talk to him now, or ever. But I needed to say this one thing."You are an absolute piece of shit, you know that?" I asked."I know." He made no attempt to defend himself."Do you even know why I am saying this

________________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.Kelsey asked me why we were not riding with her Daddy on the way to my parent's house.My Dad was not at all happy to hear that but he kept quiet for the sake of his granddaughter.Jackson followed us in his car.I wondered why he was doing it.Could he not just go to his place? What was the need for coming to a place where even the lawn weed hated him?"Mommy, why is Grandpa mad?" Kelsey looked at me, her voice filled with innocent curiosity."He's not mad, sweetie," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "He just has a lot on his mind.""I am mad." My Dad mumbled.I gave him a flat look.Did I really need to verbally remind him that I already had a four-year-old to deal with?Did he have to be stubborn and make things more difficult for me than it already was?"See!" Kelsey pointed out. "I told you Grandpa was mad.""Grandpa won't be mad anymore after I talk to him, monkey. It's grown-up things. You are just a baby. You won't understa

_____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.The scent of home was something else.It was true that I had uprooted my life and moved across the country, that this was not home to my daughter.But it was where I had grown up, where I had met Jackson, where I had gotten married, where I had fell in love, and where I had felt the most pain.It was a homecoming I was not sure I was ready for.As the plane touched down, my stomach churned with a mix of anxiety and nostalgia.Home.There were two cars waiting for us on the tarmac."Grandpa!" Kelsey yelled as soon as she sighted my father."Dad?" I was confused.I had told my mother that we would talk about where we were staying. Why was he here when we hadn't had that talk yet?Jackson looked over at me. "You didn't tell me Daniel was coming.""He didn't tell me either." I sighed.Jackson took Kelsey's hand and led her down the steps of the plane while I took a moment to compose myself.My father, Daniel Smith, was a man of few words. But h

Kelsey demanded.I raised a brow at my daughter's demand.Kiss Daddy better?I really liked that idea."No need for that, monkey." I pretended to be the good guy. "Daddy is not sad. Mommy is right about Daddy not knowing how to tie your hair anyway."Olivia shot me a look that could have frozen the Sahara desert."Kelsey," she said firmly. "Mommy and Daddy are just friends now. No more of that, okay?"I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from smirking - try selling that to our daughter, wifey.Come on Kelse, show her whose daughter you are! Get what you want from her!"Mommy!" The stubborn pout was on. "We are not going anywhere until you kiss Daddy."Olivia's eyes shot to me, a silent plea for help.But I was enjoying this too much."Okay, okay, Kelsey," I said, stepping closer to Olivia, my hand on her shoulder.
