บททั้งหมดของ Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

Jordyn’s POV“You did it!” Ellie squealed, clapping her hands together like a child. “Thank you thank you thank you! That lace will be so amazing for my wedding dress. You have no idea.”Ellie leaned into kiss my cheek but I leaned away from her. She was grating on my nerves, as usual. When she found out I was going on this cruise, she insisted she come. I tried to tell her that I was going for business, not pleasure, but she threw a fit and then pouted for three days!“How will it look if you don’t bring your fiancé?” she had demanded the night I told her, slamming the salad tongs in the salad bowl like a woman possessed. “I mean, come on Jordyn. People will talk. You have to bring. I’ll make it worth your while.” She gave me a sly, sexual smile, and I knew what she was insinuating. But a blow job wasn’t worth the hassle of having her tag along on the cruise. I honestly really did just want to focus on my work there. I knew the cruise would be full of business execs and CEOs and I wan

Jordyn’s POV At first, I was stunned. I couldn’t believe Cassandra hadn’t accepted my gift! Couldn’t she see that I was only trying to help her? She was an assistant for crying out loud. She couldn’t afford to spend fifteen thousand dollars on a roll of fabric.I knew from the moment she saw the lace that she wanted it. I didn’t really know much about the lace, but I knew it was rare and I could see the look in her eyes. So when she started the bidding, I knew what I had to do. I would win the lace for her. I didn’t know what she wanted to do with it. I mean, she wasn’t exactly a designer herself or anything. Maybe she planned on getting someone to make her a dress? It didn’t matter. All that mattered was that she wanted the lace and I was in a position to give it to her.But when the staff placed it down at her feet, she refused to accept it!Anger boiled up inside me. Ellie was yipping away at my side, complaining about what I’d just done. Ellie assumed I was buying the lace for her

Jordyn’s POV I saw Cassandra the moment I walked into the banquet. She was sitting with that damned boyfriend of hers again, and I watched as various people approached her table. They were networking with Stella, since she owned Hot House Flower, but I couldn’t help notice that Cassandra was basking in all the attention. She collected their business cards and tucked them away into her purse. Stella had mentioned that Cassandra had taken over some of the chief designer’s duties while she was away on personal leave. I was proud of Cassandra for stepping up and taking on more responsibility. I hoped it didn’t go to her head though. The Hot House Flower Chief Designer would be back soon enough and Cassandra would have to step back down to her assistant position.In the meantime, though, it looked like Cassandra was having the time of her life. I sat at a table, absently chewing on my filet mignon and crab legs. I was approached too by my fair share of business execs, and I was polite and

Cassandra’s POVStella and I had more business cards than we knew what to do with. By the end of the banquet, I was feeling pretty wiped so I decided to go for a walk to get some fresh air. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the amazing night and all the incredible things that had happened. Stella, Dillon, and Cameron decided to go to a late night karaoke bar. I told them I’d meet up with them in a bit.The night was stunning. I mused at the star-speckled stars and the dark, expansive water below. The air was comfortable with a warm breeze blowing off the water. The deck was fairly empty, with just a few people strolling by. But as I approached the front of the deck, I heard someone sniffling.I turned to see a woman crouched near the railing, her knees drawn up to her chest, her head in her hands. As I approached, I recognized her from that afternoon. She was Brock’s wife, the man who was having the affair with Ellie.Her exasperated sighs and tear-stained face could only mean o

Jordyn’s POV“Oh my God! Cassandra!”I whipped my head towards the loud male voice that had just ripped through the air and saw that it was Dillon. He had appeared out of nowhere. I tried to get loose from Ellie’s grip but she held me back.“Please, help me,” Cassandra cried out. She was gripping the railing, but even from where I stood, I could see that she was losing her grip. Dillon barreled towards us just as one of Cassandra’s hands slipped. She was now only holding on with one hand. Her body flailed in the wind. Any moment now, she’d lose her grip and go cascading into the dark water below.“Hold on,” I hollered, my voice breaking.Dillon blew past us and leaned over the railing.“It’s okay, Cass,” he said, his voice surprisingly steady. “I got you.”I watched as he pulled her up and over the railing. They collapsed onto the deck. Ellie let go of me and glared at Cassandra and Dillon. Just then, Cameron arrived, followed by security personnel.“We came looking for you when you
