Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorce and Regret, His Ex-wife is a Billionaire: Kabanata 421 - Kabanata 430

Dillon’s POV I was gutted. I opened my mouth to speak, but just then, the lights went out. “Come. This way,” I heard Laura whisper in the darkness. I felt her tugging at my pajama shirt. Then I heard a door creak open. I followed her blindly, and when the lights came back on only moments later, we were in a hallway. “I need to go back,” I said. But she shook her head. “No, you need to vent. You need to sort through that text message. And you need to come to terms with the fact that Cassandra did something in Paris that she shouldn’t have done. Do you really want to do all of that in there? With all those people around?” I didn’t. I felt like I was on the verge of tears, as well as on the verge of hitting something. “It’s your best friend’s wedding,” Laura said. “Come for a walk with me. Give yourself a moment to calm down and clear your head. I can’t make you feel better, but I can help you get yo

Cassandra’s POV I avoided Dillon for the rest of the night, but I plastered a smile on my face for Stella. Dillon and I could sort everything out later. I was sure of it. In the meantime, I had to do my best to have as much fun as I could for the rest of the night. So I slammed back a glass of champagne and hit the dance floor with Jordyn and Cameron. Laura kept lurking around Dillon, but I never saw them alone together for the rest of the night. I HATED that Laura had born witness to our fight. She’d see it as an opportunity to get closer to Dillon. But I couldn’t think about that right now. Stella and Cam cut the wedding cake, and just like out of a movie, she smeared icing all over his face. Which prompted him to chase her, right outside, into the snow. The band played on. People danced. People ate. People drank. I managed to put everything aside and just enjoy what was left of the evening. Even though I felt a stab

Cassandra’s POV None of us wanted the night to end. We stood and watched the sunrise, plastering the sky in pastels. Jordyn put his arm around my waist and I rested my head on his shoulder. Cam stood behind Stella and wrapped Stella in an embrace, his arms secure around her chest. The bonfire had been the perfect ending to the night. We were all a bit tipsy off champagne and dozy from lack of sleep. And as the daylight came, we all realized what a hot mess we were, in our pajamas. Stella and I had makeup smeared under our eyes from crying and our hair was a disaster. But this only made us laugh even louder. We sat back down by the fire, to watch the last embers burn themselves out. We talked about the wedding, and the rainstorm, the snow, the power outage. Jordyn and I played tic tac toe in the sand with a stick while Cameron and Stella dipped their toes into the ice cold ocean. We were all a bit giddy and punchy, but still, we lingered.

Cassandra’s POV The moment I was out of the hotel room, I started shaking. I leaned up against the wall to steady myself. Scenes from the room spun through my head. The crumpled up silk nightie. Dillon shirt. Laura’s slippers. The condom wrapper on the bedside stand. Oh god. There’d been a condom wrapped. I could see it now in my mind’s eye. I’d probably just been too shocked to register it before. The ground felt unsteady under me. The image of Laura, with her naked breasts sitting in bed with Dillon was so fresh and raw in my mind. I squeezed my eyes shut, but I couldn’t get rid of the image. I doubted I’d ever be able to unsee what I saw. That moment would haunt me forever. I was sure of it. How could Dillon do this? And why? I mean, I knew that Laura was probably coming on strong, but I’d trusted Dillon. And yes, I’d been really attracted to Sebastian and hid the truth fr

 Dillon’s POV            Cassandra wouldn’t talk to me. I tried calling her and texting her but she wouldn’t respond. I was a hot mess. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t even think.           After the hotel, I went back to the estate hoping that Cassandra would do the same. But the estate was empty. I had no idea where she was.Two days passed and nothing. I called Cameron and Stella.They wouldn’t take my calls either.
