Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs! THIRTY
ASHELY'S P. O. VTWO WEEKS LATER“So you're telling me the landlord upgraded the flooring, the wiring, even the appliances.” Jackie drawled, earning her an eye roll from Sydney.The elevator pinged and stopped on the sixth floor., I reached into my coat pockets to bring out the keys to my apartment—4C.July was the first to step out of the elevator with a box in hand, every one of them, July, Jackie, Beulah, Gwendie, and Sydney all had a box with them.I had wanted to carry some from the van downstairs, but July feigned a glare my way, and Sydney had launched into a full-on health speech on why I shouldn't be lifting heavy objects.I loved and appreciated how they cared for me, but sometimes it was too much. I'm just nineteen weeks gone, not two days to labour.“Yes,” I answered Jackie's question. She had been surprised that the new landlord had the apartment cleaned and fixed and yet didn't raise the rent.Jackie gasped “Unbelievable”“Maybe he's just being generous” Beulah chipped

ASHELY'S P.O.VI stepped out into the street, the cool evening breeze made me smile.Today I went to the doctor's. He confirmed that my little girl was strong and healthy, and there was nothing for me to worry about.Every now and then, I have this fear eating my insides that I might lose my baby girl too, but whenever I come to the hospital, Doctor Liam always clears my doubts away with the most encouraging words since he's aware of my miscarriage and fearsHe gave me some prescriptions to take, I thanked him, and left. I was dying to go shopping for baby things, but the girls said it would be best if I did so after moving into my new apartment at the Briarwood. I agreed with them too.My plan to move out was already in motion. I had signed the lease, and it was left for me to get a cleaning agency to clean up the place and fix some broken stuff, then I could move in.I stepped out from the hospital's sliding door and flagged down a cab. I was supposed to go home to July's and rest,

ASHELY'S P. O. VThe envelope in my hand felt heavier than normal paper should.I've had it for weeks, I made Kellan sign this, but somehow, I hadn't been able to take it to my lawyer so the divorce process could be finalized.But now that I was getting my apartment and fixing the pieces of my life, I couldn't drag this longer anymore.Kellan and I were done. Period.A hard swallow worked its way down my throat as I held the envelope to my chest. The office was surrounded by charts and some pictures of my lawyer from when he was in law school, It smelled like legal ink and air conditioning.The door behind me cracked open “Ah, Ms Ashley. Sorry to keep you waiting” He greeted, turning around his chrome desk to take a seat “It's no problem, I haven't been waiting for long” I replied quietly.He leaned back into his seat, his eyes being his glasses sharp and assertive. “I see you've gotten Mr Langston to sign the divorce,” he said, nudging his chin to where I held the papers too tightly

KELLAN'S P. O. VNumbness was a good thing.A safe thing.And to stay numb, I worked myself past possible limits. I reached exhaustion, and I worked past it, like a mindless machine. I was skipping meals, living off caffeine and fury and....pain. For someone like me, someone who lost the most beautiful thing in his life, there were no breaks for me. Sleep was something I couldn't afford.Day after day, I just... worked.It was the only way I knew how to survive since Ashley left with my heart in one hand and divorce papers in the other. Working was what got me into this mess, it was also the only thing that kept me from feeling everything I didn’t have the courage to feel.A few days ago, I passed out right here in the middle of my office. I woke up ten hours later with a stiff neck, pins and needles pricking me everywhere, and absolutely no memory of falling asleep.That was good too. Safe.It was better than dreaming of Ashley. It was better than seeing her face on every surface,

ASHLEY'S P. O VJackie, July, and I stood outside the building. The sun beamed down on us as we squinted our eyes and looked up and up and upJuly scratched her scalp, her whole face was red from being under the sun for too long, but she was too stubborn to get under a shade “So....it's a six-story building. Okay”Jackie slipped her hands into the pockets of her jeans, her eyes slowly taking in the reddish-brick exterior and pale stone trim. “And the apartment available is on the sixth floor, Ashley have you considered how inconvenient it might be to carry groceries up there with your pregnancy” Jackie pulled out one hand and stretched it up for emphasis I chuckled, then paused as my hand instinctively went to the curve of my belly. “It's a baby Jackie, not a disability, and besides I'll use the elevator. That's what they're meant for”Jackie shook her head like she couldn't comprehend what I was saying. “What if the elevator breaks down and you have to hurry to the hospital for som

ASHELY'S P. O. VI needed a nurseryWhich meant I needed an apartment.Which also meant, I needed an apartment far from where I could bump into Kellan since I wasn't ready to face him and tell him about the baby.July had been a big help to me, letting me stay longer than I probably should have, but now that I was going to have a daughter, I couldn't keep inconveniencing her, even though she says otherwise.Which was why I was scrolling through listings on a real estate site at eight in the morning, a tablet in one hand and a half-melted smoothie in the other.July was still curled up asleep on the couch, one hand resting on top of the couch while the other tucked under a fluffy throw pillow. July worked in a marketing department and had come home last night extremely tired, She crashed on the sofa and hadn't gotten up since, We would have woken her up, but luckily she's on leave for the rest of the week.I leaned back into the other couch, Jackie by my side as we browsed through apa
