Dear Ex, I Am Not Your Backup Anymore Chapter 73
Ellie’s P.O.V.An involuntary scream escaped me as I stumbled inside. My back hit the cold wall, and I almost dropped my flowers. “What the hell? Who are you?”The room was pitch-black. I couldn't see anything. The faint click of a switch followed the loud thud of the door, the light flooding the door. I shielded my eyes instinctively, my heart racing as I peeked through my fingers.A glimpse of Zack’s face relieved a part of me. But my fear instantly turned into anger.“You?” I gasped. “Didn't you go to Milan?”“No.” Zack released my wrist and crossed his arms. “Apparently, you were still functioning under the assumption that I wasn't in the city.”I stared at him, struggling to steady my breathing.“What are you doing here? And why did you drag me inside like that?” I clutched my chest. “I nearly had a heart attack!”His gaze dropped to the flowers in my hand. His expression darkened.“Well, I had to come. Who knows what else you're getting

Ellie’s P.O.V.For the first time since the disaster at Expo, I had a reason to smile.Ruby still wanted my dresses!After everything that had happened, I had expected her to cancel the order or demand a refund. Instead, she had sent me a reminder that she was expecting the dresses by noon.Perhaps my business wasn't doomed after all.The next morning, I arrived at the condo I had rented early, carrying the fabrics and designs I'd prepared the night before. Maria was already there, helping the tailors sort materials.“Finally, our boss has arrived!” she announced dramatically. “Everyone, stand straight. The queen of fashion is here.”I rolled my eyes. “Keep talking, and I'll make you stitch every dress yourself.”“Cruel woman.”We had barely started working when the doorbell rang. Maria hurried to answer it. A moment later, she returned with Darren, who carried a tray of coffee and snacks.“I brought refreshments for our hardworking designer,”

Ellie’s P.O.V.“What happened, Ellie? Is everything all right?”Bruno’s question made my heart jump.Zack was still holding my hand beneath the table. I tried to pull it free, but his fingers tightened around mine.The nerve of this man!“Everything is fine,” I said, forcing a smile. “I am just excited. This is my first family dinner since getting married.”Bruno’s face softened. “Of course! My little brother finally got married. We should have celebrated properly.”Beside me, Zack leaned closer and whispered.“See? You can lie, too.”I rolled my eyes.My harmless little lie was nothing compared to the elaborate performance he had staged for months. Zack had let me believe I was married to an old, sick man while I fell for his supposed stepson.And now he expected me to smile and pretend nothing had happened?Dream on, Mr. Walton.Thankfully, the servants began clearing the plates before I could say something that would ruin dinner
Dear Ex, I Am Not Your Backup Anymore Chapter 70
Ellie’s P.O.V.A deep hush fell over the room.Zack stood beside me in a sharp charcoal double-breasted suit, a midnight-blue cashmere turtleneck beneath it. He adjusted his sleeve, revealing a rose-gold Patek Philippe watch. His amber eyes settled on Alice.“What are you waiting for? Kneel.”Alice's face lost all of its color in a split second. She immediately slipped behind Jared, as if he could protect her from the consequences of her own words.I nearly laughed.A moment ago, she'd been ready to kneel for forgiveness. Now that the person she wanted to manipulate had arrived, she couldn't even face him.Among stunned family members, Bruno was the first to recover. He set his champagne flute aside and approached Zack with a broad smile.“Zackary! I knew it. My little brother loves playing games.”Before Zack could respond, Bruno pulled him into a hug.“Welcome back. It's been too long.”I rolled my eyes inwardly. ‘Indeed. Zack loves

Ellie’s P.O.V.My anguished sobs echoed through Maria’s bedroom.If Zack had only lied about our relationship, I would have fought him. Maybe even I would take revenge.But this was so much bigger than a lie. He planned everything meticulously.Zack helped me get over Jared. He tricked me into signing contracts so we could work together. Little by little, he became part of my life until I couldn't imagine a day without arguing with him.And all that time, he knew the truth.I looked at Maria, whose eyes glistened with tears.“For three months, I kept telling myself I was imagining things,” I whispered quietly. “Every time he acted possessive, cared for me, or gave me a thoughtful gift, I reminded myself he was my stepson. I thought I was wrong for even thinking about him… that way.”Maria sighed.“And all this time, he was your husband. You didn't have to feel guilty for having feelings for him.”“Exactly!” I wiped my cheeks. “I started hating

Zack’s P.O.V.Ellie walked through the White Mansion’s doors without even looking back.My fists clenched. Anger and frustration twisted inside me as I watched the woman I had risked everything for walk away as if our time together meant nothing.Theo stood outside, waiting for my command. When he saw Ellie, he hurried after her.“Mrs. Walton, please stop. Why are you leaving us?”He reached for her bag, but Ellie politely pulled it away.“I shouldn’t have come here, Theo.”Then she walked away, her steps firm despite the tears shining in her eyes. Theo looked at her for a minute before rushing toward me.“Boss, Ellie is leaving. Stop her!”“I did.” My voice came out sharp. “She doesn’t want to stay.”Theo narrowed his eyes. “How exactly did you stop her if she’s still leaving?”I shot him a glare, but still, he demanded. “Did you tell her why you lied?” “She didn’t listen.” I looked toward the doors through which Ellie had disap

Ellie’s P.O.V. “Leave? No!” I blurted out before I could organize my thoughts. “Dad, please. Grandma is dead. I don’t have anywhere to go…” But my dad didn’t even let me finish. “You should have thought about it before, Ellie.” His face darkened with fury. “Do you have any idea what you have

Ellie’s P.O.V. The first whisper didn’t reach me. It brushed past me like wind, disappearing under the soft melody of violins and the scent of flowers decorating the grand hall. But the second whisper lingered. And then the third one… grew teeth. “…did you see that?” “…is that really her?” “…p

Zack’s P.O.V. The Hunt family sent a bride to the White mansion? That matter alone was suspicious! I leaned back in my chair, fingers resting lightly against the armchair as the city stretched beneath the glass office of my house. Quiet and controlled, unlike the situation of this arrang

Ellie’s P.O.V. Exhaling sharply, I turned. Zack stood a few steps away, one hand in his pocket, the other loosely holding his phone. There wasn’t a speck of concern on his face. His keen gaze moved over my face, scanning me, as he added casually. “I came to visit Dad. Didn’t realize I had wa
