Cassandra’s POV

“So other than some proofs on some of the pics, we’re good to go for the launch?”

“You bet,” Jordyn replied.

I was at my store on a Zoom call with Jordyn. We were finalizing the details for the upcoming launch. A swirl of excitement ran through me.

I had my ten original dresses all set to go for the launch, with many more on the way. Jordyn had done a fantastic job of marketing Petals in Bloom as a high-end designer brand. I was actually amazed with his branding and social media campaign.

I’d hired five staff members, all of them carefully curated, and all of whom could speak English, although my new hire spoke with such a heavy accent I could barely understand. She was a whiz though with a sewing machine, so it was worth the hassle of asking her to repeat things from time to time.

“I don’t want to pry,” Jordyn said, his tone shifting. “But Cass, is everything okay out there in Paris?”

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 486: The Next Week

    Cassandra’s POV He stepped away from me, finally. I licked the blood from my split lip. I could already feel my face swelling from where he’d made contact. He’d hit me. He’d actually hit me. I couldn’t believe it. I was struggling to process it. “Please,” he said, his voice cracking. “I’m so sorry. Let me see. Oh god, I’m such an idiot. I don’t know what came over me. I’ve never done anything like that. Oh shit. You’re bleeding.” I turned my head then to face him. He had a sincere look on his face. He looked terrified by what he’d done. I didn’t care though. ‘Is he isolating you? Because that’s a sign of an abuser.’ I remembered Stella’s words. She’d seen what I hadn’t been able to see. And she’d seen it very, very fast. Sebastian was controlling. He was possessive. He was trying to isolate me from my friends and family. He stalked me everywhere I went. And now?

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 485: The Unthinkable

    Cassandra’s POV His tone made me recoil. “I…I texted you,” I stammered. “I drove Stella to the airport to say good bye.” “You were supposed to come with me, to a brunch,” he said, his voice low. “Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to cancel at the last minute?” “You didn’t have to cancel. You could have gone without me?” He was glaring at me, his hands at his side. I took another step back instinctively. “No, Cassandra, I can’t go without you. You are my girlfriend. You are expected to be there. I told you this would be too much for you. You need to get your priorities straight.” I didn’t like his tone. He was chastising me. “I’m allowed to take my friend to the airport,” I said. “Your friend?” he laughed derisively. “She’s a fucking joke, Cassandra. She swears like a sailor and has absolutely no class. I tolerated her during her visit, but those aren’t the type of people you c

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 484: Stella’s Words

    Cassandra’s POV Sebastian didn’t spend a ton of time with us during the rest of Stella’s visit. He kept making up excuses as to why he couldn’t join us, which I found a bit off-putting. And the time he did spend with us? Well, let’s just say he wasn’t exactly charming. I started to see glimpses of what Stella was talking about. He DID always seem to have his hand on me in one way or another. He was a bit bossy, always ordering for me. We went to the Louvre together, and when Stella declared that she liked a painting, he scoffed. Basically, he made absolutely no effort with Stella. During a trip to the theatre one night, the paparazzi was there. It was the grand opening of a new theatre, and they’d caught wind that we’d be there. Stella was delighted, and she faced the cameras, her hand on her hip, a radiant smile on her face. Sebastian pulled me towards him and turned us to face away from Stella. Stella noticed this, b

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 483: Is He Isolating You?

    Cassandra’s POV Stella and I took our seats at a lovely little café that was open late. We both opted for a decaf coffee with a shot of liquor, a dessert coffee so to speak. We’d barely taken our seat when Stella started. She held up her hand as she spoke. “Look,” she said, sighing. “I know that it’s entirely possible that I caught him on a bad night, like he said. But Cassandra, as your best friend, I have to be completely honest. It’s also entirely possible that Sebastian is a controlling asshole.” Her words hung in the air between us. “He’s not though,” I shook my head. “Not normally. He’s usually very…attentive and charismatic.” “Attentive? Or controlling. He orders for you? Every time you’re out? Really Cass? And I swear, he had his hand on you the ENTIRE night. Like you were some sort of property.” I didn’t like where this conversation was going. “You don’t know him,” I told her.

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 482: Sebastian

    Cassandra’s POV Sebastian introduced himself with a smile and pulled out both of our chairs. He started off as his usual self, but somewhere about halfway through dinner, his demeanor changed. Stella and I chatted happily, telling him old college stories and stories about our travels. But as we chatted, he seemed to become more and more brooding. Stella asked him direct questions, with only answered with a curt yes or no. And he made no effort in joining in the conversation. Instead, he seemed almost haughty, or bored. He had already ordered us appetizers, so when it came time to order the main course, Stella stared at the menu, a confused look on her face. “It’s all in French,” she said. “I don’t know what any of this is.” “Sebastian can order for all of us,” I smiled brightly. “Um, okay, I guess. But what if he orders something I don’t like?” “Good point. Here, let me see the menu. We can share

  • Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire   Chapter 481: Stella’s in Paris

    Cassandra’s POV Stella loved the designs, as I knew she would. She was very impressed by the entire store. She met some of the staff before I told them to take off early for the weekend. “This is…this is amazing,” she said, fingering the soft lace of one of my designs. “It’s more than I imagined. It’s…perfect.” I nodded enthusiastically. I still couldn’t believe Stella was actually standing right in front of me. And she looked great. The pink was back in her cheeks and she’d put on some weight, so she didn’t look so frail. She was waiting for her breast reconstruction surgery, and in the meantime, she was wearing nice, thick, padded bras. Her hair was still glowing back so she was still wearing wigs. But her eyes sparkled. It was an entirely different person than the one I’d left back home a few months ago. She looked like her old self again, and nothing could have made me happier. After we’d had a good tour
