Jordyn’s POV

The moment I saw my mother, my skin crawled. A flurry of rage rose up in my stomach and I found myself inadvertently clenching my fists. I hadn’t expected to have such a visceral reaction to seeing her.

She had such a smug look on her face and her tone was so derisive. I hated her, I really did, with every ounce of my being.

But when her eyes locked onto mine, I also realized that I loved her too. It was so fucking complicated. Memories of my youth flooded back to me. Christmas morning all huddled around the tree in our jammies. Backyard birthday parties at the swimming pool. She wasn’t a very affectionate person, but there had been times when she’d comforted me, when she’d rubbed a cool cloth over my forehead when I had a fever, or let me climb into bed beside her when there was a lightning storm.

And yet…

That same woman had tried to kill her own father. She’d manipulated and blackmailed Ellie, a woman I’d been eng

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 284: No More Storms

    Jordyn’s POV Larry finished and the room fell silent, so silent, that we could all hear the clock ticking. I struggling to process the gravity of the letter I’d just heard. I didn’t know what to think, or what to feel. My grandfather had just laid out all my flaws for everyone to hear. But he’d also pinpointed all my attributes. I’d spent my entire life believing that I had to hide my emotions. I’d gone through great lengths to do it. I’d never really shown Cassandra the sort of affection I’d actually felt for her early on in our marriage. I’d always been stoic when it came to anything intimate or emotional because I carried such a deeply rooted embarrassment over my wild and extreme feelings. I remembered the day I killed the butterfly. I was surprised that my grandfather did too. I’d just been walking in the garden, like any other day, with some of my friends on our way to the pool, when a butterfly had flitted down from a petal

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 283: Letter

    Jordyn’s POV “My dearest grandson, Jordyn,” Larry began reading. I rubbed my hands together, my palms sweaty. Ready or not, I was about to hear the final words of my grandfather, written just for me, and I was overcome with emotion. Next to my father, my grandfather had been the single most important person in the world to me. His death was one of the things that had triggered my nervous breakdown. I’d been sorting through it in therapy, but I still felt a sting in my heart every time I thought about the fact that he was gone. “You only get one shot at life,” Larry continued. “And I’m afraid you’re fucking yours up.” Oh. I hadn’t expected that. That was a little harsh, wasn’t it? Larry only paused briefly though before continuing. “Not to fear though. We all fuck up sometimes. And I want you to know that no matter the mess you’ve made, you can always clean it up. I know you lost your company, Jordyn. You mad

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 282: Stanley’s First Bomb

    Jordyn’s POV Bam.It felt like a bomb has just exploded as Larry’s words hung heavy in the air.Stanley’s words, actually. His final words to my father.We all sat, stunned, grappling to process what we’d just heard.My mother snapped her head up, her eyes liquid with vileness and hatred. She opened her mouth to retort, but Larry shot her a warning look. She snapped her mouth shut, but we could all feel her fury coming off of her in waves.I didn’t quite know that to make of my grandfather’s letter to my father. I was shocked. It had never occurred to me that he’d known, all along, that my mother was a cruel and abusive wife to my father.But of course he’d known. How could he not? My grandfather was no fool, and I guess he’d chosen the time right before his death to let us all know that.Stanley had admitted to wanting Howard to stay, and that’s why he’d never intervened. Even if he had though, I doubt my father would have left. My father’s loyalty was to me. He couldn’t

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 281: Howard’s Letter

    Jordyn’s POV Larry paused after the first few words of the letter. We all sat in stunned silence. To say that wasn’t the intro we were expecting from Howard’s letter was an understatement. The devil? Living in hell? I was shocked to hear Stanley describe his daughter like that. I’m sure everyone was. But none of us dared say a word, not after Larry’s stark warning that if we did, he’d have us removed immediately. Even so, those first few lines set the tone for what was clearly going to be letters full of surprises. Larry continued. “I know you didn’t mean to marry the devil. Vivienne has a clever way of hiding her horns. She’s a master manipulator, and she married you under false pretenses. I saw it. I knew it. I was well aware that my daughter had swindled you. You thought you were marrying someone kind, someone caring, someone you could build a life with. But nothing could have been further from the truth

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 280: He Changed The Will?!

    Jordyn’s POV My eyes flew open in shock. Right before he CHANGED the WILL? The room fell dead silent as we all processed what Larry had just said. Larry waited patiently for us to absorb his shocking words. My grandfather changed his will? The night before he died? At the last very last moment? That wasn’t like my grandfather at all! He’d been a very meticulous man, always one step ahead, always planning. Changing his will at the last moment was such a spontaneous thing to do. It didn’t make sense. My mind reeled as I sat there, bewildered. Why? Why would he do that? What could have possibly caused him to make a last minute change to a will he’d surely had finalized months, if not years before his death. I mean, it wasn’t like this was some small thing.This was his WILL! This was the document that would determine who received all his assets, who would have his empire. His company, his estate, al
