Dillon’s POV

She was so cute when she ate soup, Cassandra. I watched her from my bed as she tried to delicately slurp the soup from the spoon, dripping some onto her chin. I’d been bracing myself for the conversation we just had for days, ever since I learned that it was Laura who had swooped in and given me the blood I needed for my transfusion.

I hadn’t even seen her, though, Laura. She left long before I was awake that night. She just sort of slipped in and slipped out, just like she had all those years ago. Or at least, that’s what it felt like.

I rarely thought about those days. Sometimes it felt like it hadn’t even happened. One minute, I was flirting with a pretty woman at a law school mixer. And the next? I was sitting in a café being told I was going to be a father. I’d been so caught off guard, so overwhelmed. And then I’d been overjoyed.

That was the part I left out while I told Cassandra the story.

The news that Laura was pregnant had hit me like a bolt of lightning, but on

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 447: Jordyn’s? Dillon’s?

    Cassandra’s POV A few days later, the doctor confirmed what I already knew. I was pregnant, and roughly two months along according to the ultrasound. Secretly, I’d been hoping that maybe the ultrasound would reveal that I was further along, although I knew that wasn’t possible given the date of my last period. So it was true. I had a baby growing inside of me and I didn’t know who the father was. This, of course, caused me a lot of stress. How could I have let this happen? I never thought, in a million years, that I’d be in a position like this. And I had no idea what to do about it. Should I tell Jordyn? Should I tell Dillon? Should I wait until I find out who the father is? I was pretty sure it was Dillon’s. Confident even. I mean, it had to be. What had happened between Jordyn and I was a mistake. We’d only slept together once. Probability was on Dillon’s side.

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 446: Or it Could Be…

    Cassandra’s POV “Holy shit,” Stella said. “Holy shit,” I repeated. True to her word, Stella had shown up this morning with not one, but eight pregnancy tests. “Just in case,” she’d winked at me. I’d taken the first one and watched in shock as the two pink lines appeared. “Give me another one,” I’d said. I’d taken that one and it had shown the same two lines. “One more,” I’d demanded, holding out my hand. Except that I couldn’t pee, so we had to wait. That test had been the same. So had the next three. We’d basically spent all morning and afternoon taking pregnancy tests because I wasn’t willing to believe the results. But now we were standing in the kitchen, with seven positive pregnancy tests all lined up in a row. There was no way to deny this. I was pregnant. “How do you feel?” Stella asked, as we stared at the tests.

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 445: Stella’s Theory

    Cassandra’s POV I turned away from the toilet bowl and wiped the cold sweat off my forehead. “What?” I asked. Stella stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She joined me on the floor, sitting with her legs crossed. My nausea had passed and I felt much better. But I was struggling to understand what Stella had just said. Morning sickness? Isn’t that what pregnant women have? “What are you talking about?” I repeated, the taste of vomit sharp in my mouth. She handed me a tissue and I wiped my face. “I know you think this is some sort of strange stomach flu, Cass,” she said gently. “But I wager that’s what lots of women think. At first. Before they find out they’re pregnant.” That last word hit me like a truck. “Pregnant,” I scoffed. “What are you talking about?” I wasn’t pregnant. Stella was being ridiculous. “The strange aversion to meat? The fati

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 444: Two Months Later

    Cassandra’s POV “Just put the trays, over there, on the counter. Make them look nice please. This party is really important to me,” I told the caterer. She nodded and set about putting out the trays. I glanced around the kitchen, making a mental check of things as I did. Then I wandered into the living room. The banners and balloons were all in place, and I was pretty proud of how it all looked. The piece de resistance was, of course, the banner I’d had speciality made from a custom signage store. Every time I looked at it, my breath hitched in my throat. “Congratulations Stella,” it read in big block letters. “You kicked cancer’s ass.” It had been a miracle. That’s how we all felt. Stella had her double mastectomy and then went straight into aggressive chemo. Her odds weren’t great, that’s what we’d all been told. But doctors only look at figures and facts. They base their od

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 443: Confessions

    Cassandra’s POV I knew that telling Dillon was going to be hard. I just needed him to listen to me. If I could tell him everything from my point of view, maybe he’d understand, just a little. “I thought you’d slept with Laura,” I said. Dillon walked away from me and went to the window, his back turned to me. “I honestly believed that you’d cheated on me,” I told him, fixed to my spot. “So you cheated on me,” he said, his voice dry. “An eye for an eye, is that your story, Cassandra? I hurt you so you wanted to hurt me?” I didn’t know what to say to that. It was partially true, I supposed. But there was more to it than that. I’d been so hurt, so heartbroken. And Jordyn had…I don’t know. He’d offered me a sense of comfort that I needed. But how could I explain that to Dillon? “Anyone but Jordyn,” he spat out. He ran his hands through his hair. “Literally anyone, Cass. ANYONE but Jordyn.” H

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 442: I’m Sure

    Cassandra’s POV I regretted it immediately. The moment I woke up beside Jordyn, naked in bed, I panicked. What had I done? Holy shit. I’d…I’d slept with Jordyn? Memories from the previous night washed over me. A flicker of what I’d once felt for him came back to me as I watched him sip his tea. I remembered what his lips felt like on mine, what his hands felt like on my body. And I was so distraught, I was in so much pain, I just wanted it to go away, even if just for a little while. Jordyn could take away my pain. That was all I cared about in that moment – feeling something other than what I was feeling. We almost kissed, but then he gently removed my arms from around his shoulders.He took a step back and then, out of nowhere, he’d professed his love for me. That had caught me really off guard. I’d had no idea that Jordyn was still holding onto feelings for me. I’d honestly thought that all o
