Cassandra’s POV

“Dillon!” The scream escaped my lips before I could stop it. Dillon hunched over, his face contorted in pain. He clutched his stomach.

I couldn’t believe it! Ellie had shot him. She’d actually shot Dillon!

“What have you done?” Stella hollered at Ellie. I glanced at Ellie. She was holding the gun in her shaky hand, looking as shocked as we all were.

“I…oh my god…I,” Ellie stammered. I rushed to Dillon just as Jordyn charged at Ellie. Jordyn grabbed her wrist and she gave up the gun.

Just then, we were sirens wailing in the distance. Finally, the police were coming. And just in time.

“Call an ambulance,” Stella cried out, also rushing towards Dillon. Blood was gushing out of his stomach. His hands were covered in his own blood. He looked at me, his face growing paler by the moment. I no longer cared about Ellie. The room swam in my vision. The only thing I cared about in that moment was Dillon.

“Dillon?” I asked. He stumbled and I knew he was going to collapse so I tried

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 377: A Dangerous Game

    Cassandra’s POV I was laying in the gorgeous bed in the stunning guest suite perusing my phone. Jordyn and I had been told that breakfast would be served at 9:00am, which still gave me an hour to get ready. We’d stayed up late last night, chatting in the parlour. Sebastian had been there too, but he hadn’t contributed very much to the conversation. Blaire had talked away animatedly, asking all about the expansion of Hot House Flower. Every so often, I’d caught Sebastian looking at me, a bemused smile on his face. I’d quickly looked away. I was really pissed at him for ditching me in the maze. But whenever I thought about the maze, the memory of his finger on my wrist attacked my mind. “These wrists were made for diamonds,” he’d said. Something about the way he said it still sent shivers down my spine. Jordyn had sat protectively beside me. It was clear that he did NOT like Sebastian. He caught Sebastian lookin

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 376: Lost in the Maze

    Cassandra’s POV I looked left and then right. Had I been down this corridor yet? My heart was hammering in my chest. I felt the walls closing in on me. ‘Just breathe,’ I told myself. ‘You’ll find your way out if you just stay calm.’It was almost dark and I’d been trying to get to the middle of the maze for at least twenty minutes now. But every corridor I went down just led to another one, and I was pretty sure I’d circled my way back to the same place several times now. He’d ditched me! He’d fucking disappeared and ditched me! I tried to catch up to Sebastian, but I couldn’t find him. Who does that? Who just leaves someone all alone in a massive maze when it's getting dark? Any ‘thoughts’ I’d had about Sebastian had flown right out the window by now. He was an arrogant asshole. He’d left me all alone to traverse this maze, knowing it was getting dark. The corridors were spacious enoug

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 375: Made For Diamonds

    Cassandra’s POV I resisted the urge to scoff at Jordyn. Be careful? Of what? Getting lost in a hedge maze? It was a strange warning with an ominous tone. Ahead of me, Sebastian had stopped. He was waiting for me to catch up. The maze was enormous, with walls at least twenty feet high. Jordyn and Blaire were already entering the maze by the time I got to Sebastian. He didn’t say anything. He just looked me up and down, as though he were examining me. I felt uncomfortable under his intense gaze. I couldn’t help but notice again how handsome he was. I’d actually never seen anyone that looked like him before. He had an easy, confident swagger about him that only amplified his good looks. I realized that the reason I found him so attractive likely had to do with the fact that he was French, living in a palace, and the daughter of a Dutchess. A Dutchess whom I just happened to like very much. “Shall we go in?” I a

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 374: First Impressions

    Cassandra’s POV Mother? So this was Blaire’s son I realized. I found that strange since he looked NOTHING like Blaire. Blaire was light, with platinum blonde hair that was so blonde, it was almost white. Her eyes were a deep green. She was light; this man was dark. But Blaire laughed at his comment. “Cassandra, Jordyn, this Sebastian, my son.” His eyes were still locked on me. He nodded. “Pleasure,” he said. Then he picked up his wine glass and took a swig. He placed it back down and made a sweeping motion with his hand. “Welcome to….all this.” “They’ll be joining us tomorrow night for the Masquerade Ball,” Blaire continued as the waiters set down another course. Filet mignon with a side of asparagus. “Lucky them,” Sebastion said sarcastically. “Come now, love,” Blaire said, her voice light. “You used to love the masquerade ball.” “Love is fleeting,” he replied, turning his eyes to Blai

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 373: Sebastian

    Cassandra’s POV An hour later, we were seated at a formal dining table with more waiters attending to us than a full out gala. Jordyn and I had been given the grand tour of the palace, or well, part of it. The important parts, according to Blaire. We’d seen the rest tomorrow. Then we’d been sent to our separate rooms to dress for dinner. I’d chosen a long, floor length gown and Jordyn had chosen a crisp, black suit. We both looked quite dapper, if I did say so myself. Rhett had escorted us to the dining hall, which was bigger than our entire new office back home. Everything about the palace felt larger than life, and I had to literally stop myself from walking around with my mouth hanging wide open in awe. Jordyn had laughed several times at the Blaire’s strange way of speaking. She’d called me a sun-kissed daisy in the rain, whatever that meant. But I told Jordyn he’d get used to it. It’s just the way Blaire was. And sure enough, but by the

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 372: The Palace

    Cassandra’s POV “Come on. What else do we have going on? It’s a palace!” I’d hung up with Blaire Montgomery, who had learned that I was in Paris and called me immediately. It hadn’t even occurred to me to call her to tell her that I’d be in town. Of course, she insisted that we both come and visit her. She was sending a car for us first thing tomorrow morning. All I had to do was text her the address of my villa. I told her we could only stay a couple of nights. She’d said it was better than nothing. Jordyn was hesitant though. “You barely know her,” he said. “And now you want to get in a car with some stranger and go god knows where?” “I do know her,” I protested. “She’s a client and a friend. I had lunch with her a while back in the city when she was there for some sort of gala. She’s a riot, really. A wonderful person. And she’s a dutchess. She’s legit royalty, Jordyn. Stop making it sound like she’s some sort of mu
