All Chapters of Ex Husband's Regret ~ Now He Wants Me Back? : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Jayden's POV. I wondered why I was reluctant to finish up the divorce procedure. I knew I didn't love Danielle. Or was that the case? It couldn't be. A part of me genuinely wanted to cling to her, but I refused to heed to it because I knew she deserved better than I could give her. She needed the money I would give her to present her business ideas and talents to the world. The last thing I wanted to do was come in the way of her shine. "Hello..." I called my lawyer. "After this call, I'll reach out to my accountant. I need everything about the money Danielle is to receive to be finished up before tomorrow ends.""Yes, sir."There. I was done with the one thing that made me feel restless. "Make sure she gets the exact amount I signed." She would instantly become a millionaire the moment the money hits her account. The thought of her winning made me happy. I couldn't wait to see what she would do with the money."Sir, about the rest of the procedure. We need to go on... Make sure the

Danielle's POV. I stood in front of the mirror applying my makeup. The reflection before me was a beautiful woman whose long and full hair was brushed and styled to suit the occasion of the day. Even my outfit told the occasion.Black jean pants, a black crop top and black designer sneakers. It was past eight in the morning and my plan was to grab my stuff from Jayden's. I needed to look my best and make sure that he would be unable to see through my pain, so I added one last accessory to my fit. Dark sunshades. "Can you drop me off at Jayden's, please?" Since Cindy was leaving the house, I asked her for a ride. "Sure." We arrived at Jayden's house when he was about to leave with Katherine. I shot a glance at the duo, refusing to show any emotions. But deep down, I could feel my heart wrench when my eyes met with hers. There was a victory smile on her lips, there was spite in her eyes. The way she smirked when she looked at me. She felt that she had won. Cindy, who wanted to driv

Jayden's POV.Two hours later, when I was done with all I had mapped out to do for the day, I stood from my seat and stretched. I then walked out of my study. Because it was linked to my bedroom, the first thing that caught my eyes was Katherine. She lay in my bed, sobbing. "Kat?" My eyes widened. I approached her. "What's the matter?"She turned away towards the other side of the bed, refusing to look at me. Suddenly, the thought struck me. I had promised to join her in twenty minutes. But instead, it took two hours."Oh, dear." I was sincerely sorry. "I'm sorry. How do I make it up to you?" I joined her in the bed, using my hand to gently tap her back. Even though she still wouldn't look at me, her sob reduced to an almost inaudible whimper. "Do I take you shopping tomorrow? Gucci has always been your brand. I can take you there if you want.""You don't get it, do you?" She turned to face me. Her face was red and swollen. Her lips and eyes were puffy as well. "I don't want your mone

Jayden's POV. I knew that Katherine might never trust me again, because what I did was a big deal. Regardless, I tried to fix things between us. "Katie, I'm sorry."She was silent. I tried to touch her, but she pulled away. "I know this will not make you forget what happened, but I have news that might excite you. For the first time since I began my company, I have been invited to the International Tech Fest. And I want you to be my plus one."That seemed to work. She quickly turned around to look at me. "I don't get what you just said. The international tech fest?""Yes, Kat. I got the mail yesterday. I was planning to surprise you with the news, but I just wasn't able to find the right time." The truth was that I knew how much Danielle had strategized and advised me just so I could get nominated. I felt bad attending the event with a woman who wasn't her. But now that things were sour, I figured this would work.She showered quickly and so did I. In no time, we were at her favorit

Jayden's POV.Katherine marched to the parking lot. I went after her. "Do you wish to leave now? The event hasn't ended, Katie. And it's not wise for me to leave since this is my first time being here.""Okay, then. Stay if you want. I'm done. Her filthy hand on my cheeks is enough insult for one day.""Kat, I'm sorry that she slapped you. She overreacted and that wasn't right.""Is she always that violent?""No. Listen, Katie, the dance is over. The event should be over in an hour or two. Please, stay. If it would cheer you up then I think you should know that Danielle isn't here anymore.""Where is she at?""I have no idea. What matters to me is that you're here with me. Listen, I'm sorry that you both had a clash like this.""You should be ashamed of yourself for not standing up for me."I sighed. "You're right, Katie. I should have defended you. Now, please come inside.""I really can't do that." She was leaning against my car. "Our baby needs us, Jayden. We need to go home to him
