last update Last Updated: 2025-04-21 11:35:04
Cassandra’s POV

It wasn’t until a week later that I finally got up the nerve to ask Dillon about his ex-wife, Laura. Dillon had been recovering for the better part of the week, and I didn’t want to disrupt his progress. He was mostly asleep anyway, drifting in and out of dreams, seeming a bit dazed and confused. So I waited until I felt like he could handle the emotional weight of the conversation.

“Hello beautiful,” Dillon smiled at me as I came into his room. Cameron and I had been taking shifts at the hospital, making sure that at least one of us was always there for him, although, in all honesty, I was there the most.

He was sitting in his bed, looking quite good. The color had come back to his face and he was no longer hooked up to the machines. He wasn’t quite well enough to go home yet, but he’d been transferred out of intensive care and now had a room with a window. He’d still need to stay another week or so in the hospital so he could be monitored, but he looked more like hims

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 173: The Kiss

    Cassandra’s POVI felt an explosion rip through my body as his lips pressed into mine. Dillon had taken me by surprise, showing up at my bungalow in the middle of the night like this. But the moment we kissed, all I could think about was how badly I wanted him.Our lips parted and our kiss deepened. He curled his fingers into my hair.“Cassandra,” he whispered in between kisses. “I love you.”He moved his lips to my neck and I let my head fall back. I pressed into him, digging my fingers into his strong shoulders and back. I could feel the heat of his chest through his clothes. An ache sparked deep in my stomach, and then between my legs. I craved him.“I love you,” he said again, tracing kisses all along my neck. He brought his lips to my ear. “God, I love you. I love you so much.”We were both breathing heavy. For a moment, I couldn’t believe this was really happening. Was I actually kissing Dillon? His words made me weak in the knees. He lifted me up then. I wrapped my legs around h

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 172: She's perfect

    Dillon’s POVI was mildly disappointed when Cassandra had to take Stella back to the room, I’m not going to lie. But I completely understood. Stella was Cass’s best friend, and I knew Stella would do the same for her. So once again, my dreams of the perfect moment on the beach were dashed.Cameron wasn’t the least bit upset though. He was rearing to go, so off we went, to a bar. We decided there was no point in staying at the dance, since we no longer had anyone to dance with. And honestly, it was getting a bit too hot out there, with the warm tropical breeze AND the bonfire. So we went inside where it was air-conditioned and chose one of the many bars.The one we went to wasn’t too busy, so we sat right at the bar.“Two whiskeys. Neat,” Cameron said to the bartender.“You know I’m not a big fan of whiskey,” I started to remind him, but he cut me off.“You are tonight, my friend,” he said with a mischievous smile.I wasn’t sure about this. Cameron clearly looked like he wanted to ‘tie

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 171: Can’t wait anymore

    Cassandra’s POVThe moment we were back in our bungalow, Stella ran for the bathroom. I heard her vomiting as I took off my shoes. I was sympathetic, even if she was ruining a romantic evening with Dillon. She'd had a bit too much to drink and now she felt like crap. I’d been there. It sucked.So, I went into the bathroom and knelt down beside her. I held her hair back while she vomited again. I winced at the acrid smell of her vomit, but I rubbed her back.“The drinks taste way better going down than going in,” she said.“I know,” I chuckled. “It’s okay. Just get it all out.”“I ruined your night,” she said, resting her cheek on the toilet seat.“Oh honey. No. Don’t put your face on that. Here.” I grabbed a face cloth and put it on the toilet boil.“I think I got a little drunk,” Stella said. She looked at me, frowning. Her mascara was smudged all over her eyes and her lipstick was smeared. Her hair hung around her cheeks, damp from the cold sweat of throwing up.“I think you did too,

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 170: A Waltz

    Cassandra’s POVI placed my hand in Dillon’s and he led me onto the dance floor, just as the song switched to a slow song.“Well, look at that,” he smiled, acknowledging that the music had changed. “It appears fate is on our side tonight.”I nodded and he placed his arm on the small of my back. I went to wrap my arms around his neck, like I always did when I slow dance, but he stopped me.“No, here, Cassandra,” he said, holding up one of his hands. “Put your hand on my shoulder, like this. And then put your other hand in mine.”It was a waltz position. I knew it from my cotillion, when I’d ‘come out’ to society as a young woman. It was a time-honored tradition, and my mother had made me do it. It was a silly ritual, where young women wear fancy dresses and are ‘announced’ in front of a large crowd of super wealthy people also wearing fancy clothes. I’d rolled my eyes at the whole thing, but part of the process had been learning how to waltz. So I knew the position Dillon and I were tak

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 169: Bonfire on the Beach

    Cassandra’s POVThe afternoon flew by, as did the early evening. We all just sort of hung out together on the beach, resting and relaxing. We’d had a really busy past couple of days, and we all needed the downtime.The resort was hosting a big beach dance that night, complete with bonfire, so we had a quick dinner together, then went back to our bungalows to shower off and get changed.Two hours later, we were sitting at a table right on the beach. The resort had gone all out, and there was a massive bonfire burning beside us, the flames licking the night air. Stella and I had been given another lai when we arrived, as well as flower wreaths for our hair. The dance featured entertainment before the actual dance started, and we all watched the Polynesian entertainers in complete awe. Some of them twirled fire sticks, while some danced. Others drummed, a steady, rhythmic sound that became almost hypnotic.We sipped our drinks, but I couldn’t help notice that Stella was sipping hers a lit

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 168: A Heart Felt Convo

    Dillon’s POVI was surprised that the girls didn’t want to swim with the sharks. As soon as I heard about the excursion, I signed us all up, thinking it would be a fun adventure. But clearly, the girls had other plans.“Don’t worry about it,” Cameron told me as we got to the cove. “This isn’t their sort of thing. No big deal. I’m super excited to see some sharks.”I shrugged.I guess Cam was right. I mean, I was trying to impress Cassandra at every turn, but I should have known this wasn’t something the girls would appreciate.Or want to do at all.I was glad Cameron did though. Because honestly, I really wanted to swim with the sharks.We saw a total of two sharks. Tiny sharks. Like baby ones. It was a total let down.“That’s it?” I asked the tour guide when he told us it was time to go back. “I feel like this was advertised as something it’s not.”“I don’t control the sharks,” he shrugged. “Sometimes they’re here, sometimes they’re not. At least you some though.”“I guess,” I shrugge

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 167: Swimming With Sharks

    Cassandra’s POV Snorkeling.That was Dillon’s big surprise of the day.I had to admit, I was a little hesitant at first. I wasn’t the strongest swimmer, and I felt ridiculous with snorkel and mask on my face. I didn’t even really like fish to be honest. But we were with a guide who specialized in this sort of thing and he assured us it would be a blast.Plus, Dillon was so excited. He was chatting away with Cam about all sorts of different fish. So, I decided to be positive and embrace the experience.The snorkeling was within walking distance of the resort. There was a special area where, apparently, an abundance of sea life made a daily appearance.I tried to put on my mask, but my air pipe thingy kept pointing downward instead of up.“Here, let me,” Dillon chuckled, his green eyes sparkling. He took the mask off my face and then fixed it. He put it back on me. It smushed my cheeks.“Better?” he asked, taking me by the shoulders.I swooned.“Uh huh,” I said through my mask, giving h

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 166: Morning Musings

    Cassandra’s POVI slept like a log. Even though I hadn’t wanted the night to end, I was exhausted from the long day. I didn’t even realize how tired I was until I climbed into bed. The down comforter and high-thread count sheets beckoned me to sleep.I woke up to the early morning sun flooding through our massive windows. For a moment, I forgot where I was. But then I looked out at the ocean.Right. I was in Bora Bora.Bits and pieces of the night before flashed through my mind. Our wonderful dinner, the walk on the beach. The feel of Dillon’s fingers on my cheek as he brushed the hair off my cheek. Then the karaoke bar and his song.“I plan on touching you plenty.”I bolted upright.I was in love with Dillon. And he had flirted with me. Stella had cut our conversation on the beach short, but I was pretty convinced at this point that Dillon felt the same way about me. I smiled languidly to myself and stretched my arms over my head.Last night, I’d been a little worried that maybe Dillo

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 165: The Realization

    Cassandra’s POVDillon finished the song to raucous applause. Cameron and Stella leapt to their feet. I stayed fixed in my chair, stunned by the realization I’d just had.I was in love Dillon. The words swam through my mind. I mean, I knew that I had feelings for him. Intense, deep feelings. And I knew that I was very sexually attracted to him. I also knew that I cared for him very deeply. And yes, I knew I loved him. When he’d been shot and I’d sat with him in the back of the ambulance, my heart had ached thinking I might lose him. I’d been a complete and utter nervous wreck at the hospital, waiting to see if he would live or die.So of course I loved him.I just hadn’t realized I was IN love with him.Dillon came back to the table, his cheeks flushed, a broad smile on his face.“Well?” he asked, looking at me. “What did you think? Did I do your favorite song justice?”That was an understatement. His voice echoed through my mind, the look in his eyes as he sang. I suddenly felt very
