All Chapters of Ex-Husband's Regret: Inlove with my Sister's Billionaire : Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Jasmine.“You’ve got beautiful eyes,” a voice said, pulling my attention back into the coffee shop. I instinctively turned, the sight of the divorce papers on the table making my smile feel like a stiff, cold thing.My gaze landed on a tall man with broad shoulders, dressed in a black classic suit. His slicked-back black hair framed moon-grey eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard shadowed his jaw. His Adam’s apple dipped as he spoke, and the air between us thickened with his beast-musk cologne, a scent far too intense for a place like Maison du Café.“Thank you,” I responded, hoping the politeness was sharp enough to cut the interaction short. I needed to continue enjoying the view of people needlessly walking past the street light, anything to avoid the decision waiting for me in bold ink. But he didn't move. He leaned a hand on the back of the vacant chair across from me, and the moongrey of his eyes darkened as he looked not at my face, but at the sheaf of documents lying between us.I

Jasmine“Mirror, mirror on the world, who’s the prettiest of them all?” “Me… Dad, me,” Blair’s voice echoed through the house as she screamed and ran around the kitchen. I had been standing in front of the freezer staring at the can of corn, not knowing why I was here in the first place. Glavin, my husband… Cashmere’s words kept echoing in my head, and all the surrounding noise faded. I had a million questions, but the one that made my chest tighten the most was why?Why the hell is this happening to me? I don’t understand… was it a coincidence or are they messing with me? A cold rushed through me as someone’s palm wrapped around my wrist, pulling me back to reality. “Are you okay? You suddenly look pale, and you’re sweating. Jas, the AC is on, isn’t it?” Cashmere asked, her brows furrowed as she raised a hand to touch my temple, but I caught her wrist before she could. “You don’t seem happy to see me. Is this because I didn’t keep in touch when you gave me the go-ahead to live

Galvin **Thanksgiving Night.**“Was it really necessary to invite the whole town’s elite and their families, Cash?” I asked, as Cashmere adjusted my tie. Just like every day, we become the perfect couple when there’s a crowd, and here we are standing at the entrance of the ballroom, greeting every couple who walks in. She had changed the Thanksgiving ball to a masked theme at the last minute. And when it came to Cashmere, even the smallest alteration carried a hidden agenda. I knew I had to buckle up. Who knows what she’s up to this time? There were large cameras everywhere and blinding flashes of light as they took pictures. I thought coming to the small town of Oakridge, I would be free of the press, but Cashmere lived for the publicity. “What do you mean, Bear? We’re like gods, and the town press are already here to see the family Galvin Walton is married into,” she breathed, forcing a smile and turning to stand beside me as the next couple walked in with their kids. “I can’t

Jasmine“What?” I spat back, the words slipping out of me defensively. Being called ‘That’ sounded like an insult, and it made me feel tethered back to Edwin. “Leave us,” he ordered the waiter, who only nodded and lowered his head as he walked past me. I paid no attention to him; my gaze was fixed on Galvin. I heard the large door shriek as it closed shut, leaving us both inside. Although I couldn’t quite see his eyes over the flickering, dim light and his mask, I could tell something had changed between us. He slowly took off his mask and brushed his fingers over his hair, slicking them back as he exhaled deeply. “If you aren’t stalking me, then how did you find your way down to this particular cellar at this particular time?” he asked coldly, taking a step forward. “You want me to believe it's a coincidence?” My heart hammered in my chest. “W… what are you talking about?” I stuttered, clenching my fist and refusing to step back. He walked until he was standing right in front

JasmineThe walls felt like they were closing in on me, and all the voices turned into static noise. Was there really footage from that night? The question plagued my mind as their murmurings continued.I blinked really hard, trying to ground myself and stay in the moment. It took everything inside me not to look at Galvin because it would one way or the other tip anyone off, since they keep staring at me like a hawk. “I can’t believe someone would be as clumsy as tipping over the entire shelf. One of the waiters had said he saw a masked male and later on a female walking out of the staff quarters…” Cashmere added.“And it's really worth ten million?” my mother’s voice came. “The invoice is still coming in, but that's the total so far,” Cashmere responded.“Do you think it was two people getting in on it?” Audrey chuckled. “I can imagine them running away from your cameras, I mean… give people some breathing space, Cash. I felt like I was attending a state's gala.” “If you had so m
