Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs! SEVENTY THREE
KELLAN'S P.O.VMy fingers loosened by my side, and my body went liquid and tight all at once.I just stared and stared.I didn't know how or when I crossed over, but I soon found myself standing in front of a nursery.A pink nursery Something in my heart leaped, then shark then exploded.A girl.The little crib, the blush pink curtains, and the pink and white walls all began to blur. I swallowed the lump in my throat, willing myself to breathe.I hadn't expected it to hit me like this. I didn't know my heart would constrict this tight at the sight of a room. No. It wasn't just any room. It was more. I didn't know how long I stood there at the doorway of Ashley's nursery, but I felt her when she came to my side, felt her soft fingers thread through mine, and squeezed tightly Then I looked—at her. I looked as if I could already see the daughter she was carrying.Ashley's eyes were a mirror to mine—glassy too. Her lip quivered a bit and her expression bordered on sadness and something

KELLAN'S P.O.VThe soft thud of Ashley’s door closing was a stark contrast to the way my heart pounded in my chest.My fingers balled by my side with the strain of keeping myself in check. I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night, not when I was deeply aware that Ashley was finally, finally home. Under the same roof with me, after over five months.She was home. And I plan on making her stay.It had been impossible to close my eyes and give in to sleep when every part of me was restless, burning. I lay in my bed—our bed, staring at the ceiling, wishing I were with her instead.I can still taste our kiss from last night, still see how her eyelids had fluttered so beautifully, she looked like an angel. I wanted that moment to stretch on into eternity. I wanted to hold her closer to me, I wanted to do so much more.And that wasn't right. I shouldn't be having these burning feelings, not now at least. So I tried, to push my desires to the back of my mind. I called my PI, checked on my fat

ASHLEY'S P.O.VThe next day, after I had bathed and dressed in one of my loose-fitting dresses that Kellan surprisingly still kept, we drove to the Briarwood.The silence in his car was heavy with words we had not dared to speak to each other. When I had worked up enough courage this morning to come out of the room, my jaw nearly met the floor.Kellan had hung up my pictures.... everywhere.The living room, each hallway, felt like a shrine raised up in my honor. I didn't know what to make of it, so I pretended not to acknowledge and asked him to drive me back to my apartment.No. Not to stay, I had explained after he went frighteningly still, but go bring some bags and other important things I needed. Kellan had explained that the fire had not been an accident at all, and that put a chill in my spine.I didn't dare tell him about Genevieve. I should have, but I didn't.Telling him about Genevieve meant telling him about our baby. And if he knew now... I didn't let myself think about

ASHLEY'S P.O.VI was breathless.Energized, filled, and breathless, but still, worriedWarning bells rang in my mind, filing me with a sense of dread and danger. A sound of mild exhaustion slid out from me as I brought a hand to touch my lips.Kellan and I had kissed for what could be minutes or hours even. I could still feel his lips on mine, still taste him on my tongue. I could still feel the way his hands held my face and stomach while he kissed me.Kellan had pulled back, his eyes full of love and wistfulness and gratitude, then he said “Eat...and stay” and with that, he left, taking away the warmth and comfort of his presence I almost, almost called out to him. I almost told him to stay with me, but words failed me and I watched as he walked out the door.Stay.My cheeks warmed at the thought as I propped one strawberry from the tray into my mouth. Kellan had made me toast and scrambled eggs, and added a bowl of fruit too.It was good, but the taste barely registered in my head

ASHLEY'S P.O.VIt was the scent of something new yet sweetly familiar that woke me up.I blinked, trying to take in my surroundings. Where was I?The walls weren't white, and I couldn't smell antiseptic in the air. My heart calmed down, I didn't even know it was racing like that. Instantly, my hand moved to my stomach, touching and caressing the curve of it lightly. As if sensing my worries, my little girl kicked me, giving me the confirmation that she was still there, still here with me, healthy and safe in mommy's stomach.My eyes fluttered closed in relief and thanks. Trapped in that elevator is something I never, ever want to experience again. For some few minutes, it took me back to that day of the miscarriage, that was how I felt—trapped.I proped one elbow down on the soft linen, the sheer comfort of them made me sigh. Slowly, my vision began to clear as I took in the large bedroom of grass green and cream colour. The walls were done in a soft milky color, complemented by curt

KELLAN'S P.O.VThe floor beneath us dropped and....“Aaaahh” Ashley screamed, a sound that pressed into me harder than the straps and rope around my body. Her nails dug into my back while she held me tighter “Shhh. It's okay. It's okay” I whispered, my words steady despite the situation. Ashley shook her head against my neck, sobs shaking her body, and hot tears dropped on my skin. “We're fall..fallling” The lock of my arms around her tightened. I pressed my lips against her hair, muttering soft, soothing words. “We're not. It’s just a slip. I’ve got you.”The elevator groaned again, but it wasn't anything threatening, the car just slid a few inches down. Her sobs seemed to die down, but she didn't raise her face, didn't look at me. “We're...not?”Above us, the firefighters began pulling again.I focused on her breath, her warm tears, the sound of her sobs, and the feeling of completeness from having her in my hands again.I placed another kiss on her hair. My heart was shredding
