Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs! TWENTY FOUR
ASHLEY'S P. O. V. There was something different about today.I didn't cry during the night, and I actually looked forward to the day ahead. That's what's different. Today, I'd get to see my baby and know if it's a boy or a girl.Something like an excited squeal escaped my lips as I stood in front of the full-length mirror, in only shorts and a bra. My baby bump was growing bigger. I rested my hand on the curve of my belly. My eyes were tired from too much thinking and crying, but I didn't care about that, not today.Today, I chose not to worry over things I have no control over and focus on the brighter side.Am I confused and worried about what life will be like for me? YesAre my feelings spiralling, do I sometimes regret forcing Kellan to sign the divorce and other times applaud myself for doing just that? Also yesBut would I let myself keep on drowning in things that have already happened? NoI'm going to be a mother, that is all that matters.My stomach fluttered just thinking

ASHLEY'S P. O. V Sometimes, the hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to let them go. And that was what I did, I let Kellan go, now I'm all alone. Lying down in bed, staring at the ceiling, asking myself too many ‘what ifs’ What if I had just told Kellan about the baby? What if he finds out and hates me for it? What if I can't raise this child myself? What if this baby dies too? Too many thoughts sit with me in this silence. It's been four days since I walked out of Kellan's office. Four days since I went in there, and broke us both more than we already were What if Kellan isn't holding up well? I can't get over the hurt and pain on his face, the way Kellan held me with trembling fingers and kissed me softly. Against my will, tears slipped down my cheek, warm and wet. I glanced over to my right side, where the divorce papers were sitting on top of my vanity. I haven't sent it to the lawyer Yet I should be happy, right? I should be celebrating because this was

ASHLEY'S P. O. VI'm sorry.I'm so sorry Kellan.My heart kept apologizing, but my face remained impassive. If I flattered, If I let the barest flicker of emotion show on my face, Kellan wouldn't agree.My throat was tight with unshed tears. I didn't want to go to him, to give him this ultimatum, but I knew Kellan; he was stubborn, very much so. This was my only card to play.But it was killing me with every breath.Kellan looked up at me with glassy eyes. My heart constricted in my chest. This hurts, so much. Seeing Kellan like this. It broke me, ripped my heart to pieces.“Ashley?” Kellan called, my name cracked on his lips, pain so evident etched on his face. I have seen Kellan happy, I have seen Kellan angry, I've seen him sad, nonchalant, and neglectful, too.But this...? This was a man whose soul was breaking, a man who was falling down, with no one to hold him up, because I pushed him myself.I'm sorry. I am so sorry.I tried to maintain my aloof mask, but Inside I was crying

KELLAN'S POV I paused outside my office door Ashley was in there, waiting for me. My heart was in my throat, my emotions spilling. The tightness stretched over my body. I rubbed the place where my chest was heaving. I couldn't breathe. If Ashley is here, that means she has forgiven me. Right? I couldn't accept any other alternative. I closed my eyes tightly. I could see her, beautiful, the way she smiles not just with her lips, but her warm chocolate eyes, her golden brown hair framing her face. The most beautiful person I have ever seen. I fisted the shirt over my chest, willing myself to breathe, to calm down, and go meet her. My wife. The ring in my pocket felt heavier than usual. I dipped my hand in and felt the cold jewelry. I was dying to see her with her ring again. Maybe it will be today, maybe she's here so we can go home together. I opened the doors Then, I stopped breathing. Did I say she was the most beautiful person I have ever seen? That didn't d

KELLAN'S P.O.VTime had always been something fleeting for me.Twenty-four hours in a day felt too small for all that there was to do, especially with a company like Lockra, where we were constantly on our toes; twenty-four hours a day passed in a blink.But since the miscarriage, since Ashley asked for a divorce and threw her ring at me, every hour was a stretch.Every second weighed down on me, a day felt like a decade, and every minute spent without Ashley felt like being on life support.Painful and slow with the knowledge that I might dieConferences no longer held their appeal, interviews bored me, I no longer stayed overnight at the office, I no longer worked like a machine.Every night, I'd go back home and lie on our bed, wishing she were there with me, and every night I spent alone, I regretted how I failed her.Her things are still intact, just the way she left them. Ashley's clothes are still in the closet, her kitchen utensils well placed, her makeup on the vanity.Everyt

ASHLEY'S P. O V“Twelve weeks pregnant..” I echoed in a hollow voice, repeating the doctor's words. Doctor Liam nodded, glancing between me and the monitor. “Try to relax, Ashley.” He said, gesturing to the monitor where my heart rate was climbing. The rhythmic beeping had turned frantic. “Your heart is racing.”I brought a hand to my throat, rubbing the tightness there. “I think you're mistaken, Sir” Doctor Liam gave me a soft smile. “Those were your cousin's exact words when I told her”I kept on rubbing my throat, even though it was burning now. “No offence sir, but that's because you are. I was pregnant” A lump clogged my words, and I swallowed the giant ball. “I was pregnant, but I lost the baby.”I watched Doctor Liam's face for any flicker of surprise, but he nodded calmly.“I am aware.” He said “I performed a scan”My brows drew together in confusion. I glanced out the window, to make sure that the sky was still blue and the world was real “Then make it make sense,” I s
