Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Dillon’s POVShe 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

Cassandra’s POVI closed down my computer for the day, happy to be done work for the day. I was bringing Dillon dinner at his house, even though he was more than capable of cooking again. He’d been home for over two weeks now, and he was back into his old routine, with a few modifications. He still had to take it easy when it came to physical exercise, and he wasn’t supposed to work too much, but he was getting better day by day.I brought him supper every day after work. It was the least I could do, since he’d looked after me when I was ill. Besides, I liked being at Dillon’s house, and I looked forward to it every day. Honestly, I think he liked being taken care of, which was why he hadn’t offered to cook dinner yet. He was milking it a bit, the whole ‘me looking after him’ thing. I was happy to do it though. It felt nice, taking care of Dillon after everything he’d done for me.We’d talked about having me stay with him, at his house, while he recovered. But I ultimately thought it w

Cassandra’s POVI asked the person on the phone to clarify. What did she mean Jordyn hadn’t paid the bill! I asked for the amount of the bill and balked. It was a massive amount of money, since the venue included décor, food, lighting, and drinks. Jordyn had arranged everything, promising to foot the bill, as per our collaboration. And clearly, he’d spared no expense.Don’t get me wrong, the venue had been magnificent and Jordyn had really outdone himself. But I never, in a million years, would have made some of the choices he had if I’d known we might have to pay for it.I thanked her and told her that I would take care of it. I hung, feeling upset. Hot House Flower didn’t have that sort of money just sitting around. But as co-signers of the event, we were on the hook for the bill if Jordyn’s company reneged on the payment.Which it looked like they were.My mind spun. Sure, we had a company account, but paying off a bill that large would put a massive dent in our company funds, and w

Cassandra’s POVI leapt to my feet. I knew from Dillon’s tone who was at the door. I couldn’t believe it! I rushed to the front lobby and sure enough, there he was, standing with his hands in his pockets and his head bent.“Jordyn!” I exclaimed. “What the hell are you doing here?”“You wouldn’t return my calls, Cassandra. You left me no option. I drove by and saw your car out front and…”“You’ve been stalking me?” I asked, aghast.“No. I was just…trying to find you. I figured you’d be here so I drove by and…”“What do you want?” I snapped. Dillon was holding onto the door, a temperate look on his face. My expression wasn’t so calm though.This was my night. OUR night. It was supposed to be a private celebration with the people I cared most about. Jordyn was the last person I wanted here.“I’m sorry to just barge in like this, I really am,” Jordyn said to Dillon. Dillon shrugged.“It’s not me you have to apologize to,” he replied. “But since you’re here, come in.”Things between Dillon

Cassandra’s POV“Are you crazy?” Stella asked me when I told her about the conversation with Jordyn. It was Sunday afternoon and we taking a walk through the park. Jordyn had scheduled the meeting for the next day, and since I still hadn’t told Stella, I figured I better do it sooner than later.“Why in hell would we merge with his company? We’re doing so good, Cassandra. On our own.”I listed off some of the benefits that would come with a merger, but Stella shot them all down.“Jordyn’s company is huge. It will swallow us. He’ll take control of everything. He’s a greedy mother fucker that just wants to ride the coat tails of our fame right now. He doesn’t care about us, or our brand. Come on, Cass. You’re not seriously considering this?”Well, when she put it like that, yeah, it seemed like a really stupid idea. We paused a park bench and sat down to sip our coffee. Stella looked really cute in a matching track suit, her hair pulled back into a pony tail. I, on the other hand, was we
