“Please! Jason! Pick up the phone!” Finally, someone picked up, but it wasn’t Jason. “Didn’t Jason tell you that he has no time for you today? He’s busy. Why do you keep calling?” The voice on the other end was Laura, Jason’s ex. The realization that Jason was with her while I and his unborn child were battling for our lives after an accident was a betrayal too painful to bear. If I survive, can I ever forgive him?

Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 0238
JASON’S POVI got back in the car, slammed the door, and just sat there for a second, breathing hard. My hands were shaking, my pulse hammering in my throat. But I didn’t have the luxury of falling apart. Not now. Not with the kids missing. Not with Ava crying like her world had just collapsed.I snatched my phone and called Ben.“Track everyone Julian Taylor’s ever worked with,” I said the second he answered.“Sir..."“I don’t care how long it takes,” I snapped. “I want names, burner phones, past employers, hidden assets, offshore accounts – everything. Start now.”There was a short pause. “Alright. I’ll dig in.”I didn’t wait for more. I tossed the phone onto the passenger seat and started the engine. One place hit me like a lightning bolt – the old hideout on the outskirts of town. A run-down storage facility Julian used to use back when he still operated in the shadows. Quiet. Secluded. The kind of place you’d only find if you already knew it existed.Julian always thought he was

JASON’S POV I was going through the last batch of contracts on my desk when my phone rang. Ava’s name flashed on the screen. A smile crept onto my face. I sat up straighter, ready to hear her voice – maybe she wanted to talk, maybe even apologize for this morning. I tapped the green button and held the phone to my ear. But what I heard wasn’t her voice. It was sobbing. Broken. Like her whole world had collapsed. “Ava?” My heart dropped. “Ava, what’s wrong?” More sobs and shaky breaths were what I heard before she started talking. “J-Jason… I—I can’t… I can’t find them…” “Find who?” My chest tightened. “Emma and Mason,” she choked out. “They’re gone. Jason… they were kidnapped.” I froze. For a second, I honestly thought I heard her wrong. “Wait...what?” Her crying grew louder. She could barely breathe, let alone speak. I shot up from my seat, already grabbing my jacket. “Where are you?” I asked quickly, my voice sharp. “Ava...tell me exactly where you are.” “Ice cream shop…

AVA'S POV I didn’t even stop to grab my coat. I just ran. My heels clicked loudly through the building, echoing off the walls as I bolted toward the parking garage. My chest felt tight. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking. I couldn’t catch my breath, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care about anything else. My babies were missing. “Sally, stay here!” I shouted, hearing her footsteps behind me as I neared the elevator. I turned just enough to look at her, my voice trembling. “If both of us leave, who would monitor the company." “Ava..." she started, eyes wide. “I’ll call you if I hear anything. Just… please,” I begged. “I need you to stay calm. I need you here.” Sally nodded, even though I could see how scared she was. Her lips trembled as she said, “Call me. The second you know something. Please.” I didn’t wait. I didn’t say anything else. I ran to my car, yanked the door open, shoved the key in with fingers that didn’t want to work, and backed out so fast I almost scraped the wall.

AVA'S POV Work should’ve been enough to keep my mind off things. I had meetings stacked back-to-back, new sketches to review, and a supplier call I’d been putting off for days. But even as I flipped through fabric swatches and nodded through presentations, I kept thinking about Alex’s face this morning. The disappointment in his eyes. The silence when he turned and left. I messed up. I didn’t mean to lie… well, maybe I did. But not to hurt him. I just didn’t want things to be complicated. Mason begged Jason to stay the night, and I couldn’t say no. Not after everything the little boy was going through. But when Alex showed up early this morning… and Jason walked down the stairs in my pajamas? God. That moment is stuck in my head like a bad song. I’ve been calling Alex since I arrived at the office. But he hasn't been answering. No texts. Just silence. My phone was sitting right next to my laptop, and I kept glancing at it every five seconds like I expected it to magical

JASON’S POVAva practically shoved me out the front door the moment Alex left with the kids to drop them off at school. I knew I pushed too far. She told me not to come downstairs. Told me to stay put until Alex was gone. But I did it anyway. And I’d do it again. Letting him see me in her pajamas was the point. He needed to get the message – loud and clear. He wasn’t the only one sticking around when things got tough. He wasn’t the only one who could be there for her.I also could be there for her.But damn, she was mad. “Jason, what the hell were you thinking?” she snapped, barely keeping her voice down. “I asked you to stay upstairs till he leaves.” “I know,” I said calmly, brushing lint off my borrowed shirt. “But I figured he’d want to see me. Since he’s so interested in what’s going on here.”I could see the shocked expression on her face at what I just said. "So, you didn’t come downstairs for your phone – you just wanted to show Alex you were here? And not only that,

ALEX’S POV When I walked into Ava's apartment that morning, the first thing I noticed after I sat down was the phone on the couch. It wasn’t Ava’s. Hers had a pale pink case, always a little scuffed at the edges from being tossed into every purse she owned. This one was black. Sleek. Looked like the kind of phone a man would own. The type that never had a fingerprint on it, always fully charged. I stared at it for a second too long. I asked Rose who owned it but she said she had no idea why do I feel like she's lying? Then Mason peeked over my shoulder and said casually, “Maybe it’s my Dad’s.” I turned slowly, and my heart stopped. "Your dad?” “Yeah,” he said with a shrug like it wasn’t the most earth-shaking sentence in the world. The only person he calls his dad is Jason. "He’s here.” “Uh-huh,” he nodded, then bit into his waffle. Before I could even process that, Emma ran past me with syrup on her chin and added, “They were watching old sketches on the bed!” The
