My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 66-A Familiar story
POV: NicholeGoing out was not part of my plan. Elena left a list quite long on the kitchen counter before she left for home last night. Milk bread, fruit, crackers. She had specifically underlined crackers twice and besides that, the note was simply saying I should eat something real. So I grabbed my bag that Saturday morning, put on a hoodie and sunglasses and told myself I would be in and out in twenty minutes.I was not trying to appear like something. I had not slept well. My hair was loosely pulled back; no makeup, just me and whatever my face decided to do that morning. I moved through the aisles slowly, dropping things into the basket without really reading labels, just trying to get through the list and get back home.Anyway, I stood in the fruit section squeezing a mango, which I knew I was not going to buy, that was when I heard my name from behind. "Nichole?"I looked behind. A guy was standing about a couple of feet away holding a basket with one hand and looking at me
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 65- Something New
POV: NicholeThree weeks have gone by now and I have been noticing some changes in my body. I knew because I stopped sleeping past five. I would wake up every day at the same time, already feeling nauseous, before I even opened my eyes. Sitting on the edge of the bed, squeezing my knuckles against my lips, I waited and sometimes it stayed away and most times I felt a bit funny with my body.If I was honest with myself, I felt it would be stressful , and every single morning I chose that word because it was safer than the other ones I had shoved into my mind.Coffee became the enemy and one morning I even opened the container, smelled it, and immediately felt so ill that I had to clutch the kitchen counter with both hands just to stay standing. That day I decided to drink only water. Cracked plain biscuits while standing at the sink before 7 pm. I put my clothes on and went to work. And I did it all again the very next day.I did not check my calendar or keep track of the days of
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 64- Tonight
POV: Xavier“You're the only thing that isn't a lie.”The words were still in my mouth when I stepped out of the building. I didn't know why I'd said that. The cold hit my face and I kept walking, not because I had somewhere to be but because standing still felt like something I couldn't afford right now.My phone had twelve missed calls already buzzing all through the night, by the time I reached the car.I sat in the driver's seat for a full minute without starting the engine. My hands weren't steady, pressed flat against my thighs and stared at the windshield until the blurring stopped.Then I drove off.The apartment was supposed to be empty. I heard him before I saw him. The low murmur of the television and the way a man settles into furniture that isn't his. I stepped through the door and there was Uncle Victor, seated at the far end of the living room with his one leg crossed over the other and a glass of whiskey already in his hand like he'd been there for hours.He looked up
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 63-The Weight Of Secrets
POV: NicholeAt the little kitchen table, Xavier was sitting right opposite me. He was dressed in the shirt I had kept at the back of my closet for him, but it still couldn't cover the deep blue circles under his eyes. He was frequently glancing at his phone and then flipping it to the table. Whenever the phone vibrated, he almost froze.He is battling a war that I am not part of."You should eat something, " I insisted.I moved a piece of toast closer to him and my voice seemed to be so fragile like a piece of paper.He glanced at the piece of bread. Without responding, he kept twiddling the fingers and tearing the bread into little, uneven pieces. The small heap of napkin pieces next to the plate was growing."I have to be going, " he told me without looking up. "The lawyers, they keep calling since six."I put down my mug slowly as I looked at him. "Xavier please look at me." I said.He raised his face towards me with his gaze without emotion. The comfort from the previous night h
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 62- Drunk On The Wrong Things
POV: NicholeThe night was a nice shade of cold and I really needed it. I kept my door shut all day and my mind made a maze of thoughts with the walls of my flat closing in, so I stepped out and stood on the tiny landing and just took a deep breath. The road down there was almost empty.One car was running by and somewhere two buildings was awayI was shutting the door again and then… I spotted him.I saw someone at the very end of the road, moving and staggering towards my budget building. He looked like a total mess with one shoulder lowered and one hand looking for the wall next to him.I observed for three seconds.After that something about the shoulders made me recognize him and I felt my stomach twisted.I was down the steps before I even thought of going. I could believe who I saw."Xavier."He lifted his head and made an effort to look at my face and his eyes were quite pale, slow and his tie was missing, his collar was open and from two feet away he smelled like whiskey."
My Ex-husband Billion Dollar Mistakes Chapter 61- Two Days To Die
Pov: Xavier The door to the study room where I was swung wide with the authority of a queen entering her court. I didn't need to turn around because the scent of Chanel No. 5 and expensive hairspray filled the room and cut through the heavy smell of my cold coffee. I already knew who it was as my mother walked in.I kept my back to her. I couldn't face her yet because right now, I was already drowning, and I knew she hadn't come to throw me a rope."I heard the news, Xavier," she said with her calm voice, which was always more dangerous than when she was shouting.She walked over to me as I felt her hand on my back with a soft pat, the kind a mother gives a child. "Your uncle told me everything," she continued. "The board is ready to strip the name Harrington from the door. Thirty years, Xavier, of our father’s sweat, his health and his entire life tied to that partnership. You cannot let it go. Would you?”"I'm trying to find another way, Mother," I muttered."There is no other wa
