The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 141: This could be our new beginnings
Ella’s POVThe soft light of Sunday morning filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the bedroom. For once, I had no appointments at the hospital, no urgent calls pulling me away, and the relief of that freedom settled over me like a cozy blanket. Shawn and I had decided to linger in bed, our limbs tangled in the sheets, the quiet hum of the city outside a soothing backdrop. The chaos of Lily’s birthday party yesterday felt like a distant storm, softened by the calm of this moment.The door creaked open, and Lily’s giggle filled the room as she launched herself onto the bed, worming her way between us with all the determination of a six-year-old on a mission. “Morning, Mommy! Morning, Shawn!” she chirped, her curls a wild halo as she nestled into the space between us, her stuffed bunny clutched tightly.Shawn laughed, pulling her into a playful hug. “Well, good morning, birthday girl! You trying to steal all the cuddles?”Lily grinned, wiggling closer to him. “Yup! I
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 140: We keep going
Ella’s POVThe hot water of the shower had done little to wash away the weight of the day. I stood under the spray, letting it cascade over my shoulders, hoping it would loosen the tension knotted in my muscles. Lily’s sixth birthday party had been moments of pure joy tangled with conflict, from Amanda’s venomous exit to Lily’s outburst with Milla to the parents’ cutting remarks as they left. And then there was Marcus and Celeste, their charged glances and near-kiss on the balcony still lingering in my mind like an unwelcome guest. Shawn had told me to rest, to take a moment for myself, but my head was too full, my heart too heavy with worry for my daughter, for Celeste, for the fragile peace we were trying to build.I wrapped myself in a towel, my wet hair clinging to my neck, and slipped into a soft robe. The apartment was quieter now, the chaos of the party reduced to a faint hum of cleanup from the living room where Shawn and my dad were still tidying up. I should’ve been out t
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 139: Changes
Marcus’s POVThe hum of the party had faded, leaving the apartment quieter, though the remnants of Lily’s sixth birthday, scattered balloons, crumpled wrapping paper, and the faint smell of cake, still lingered. I’d stayed longer than I’d planned, partly because I wanted to soak up every moment with Lily, partly because the conversation with Ella on the balcony had left me rattled. Her words about Celeste, about not hurting her, had hit a nerve. Ella knew me too well, she knew the trail of mistakes I’d left behind, the way I’d hurt her with my selfishness, my recklessness. But more than that, her concern for Lily’s behavior, the way she’d lashed out at Milla, had stirred something deeper in me. I couldn’t let my daughter grow up carrying the same flaws I had, the ones that had shaped me into someone I wasn’t proud of.My mother’s face flashed in my mind as I walked down the hall toward Lily’s room. She’d always been too soft with me, brushing off my tantrums, excusing my bad decisi

Ella’s POVThe last notes of the birthday song had faded hours ago, and the once-vibrant chaos of Lily’s sixth birthday party was winding down. The apartment, still strewn with streamers, crumpled napkins, and half-eaten cupcakes, felt like a battlefield after the dust had settled. The kids were gone, their laughter replaced by the quiet shuffle of parents gathering coats and gift bags, their faces a mix of polite smiles and barely concealed judgment. I stood by the door, thanking each family as they left, but their words stung more than I’d expected.“That was… quite a scene,” one mother said, her tone clipped as she adjusted her son’s jacket. “Not exactly the healthiest environment for the kids, Ella.”Another parent, a father from Lily’s school, chimed in, his voice low but pointed. “You might want to keep a closer eye on Lily. That kind of behavior… it’s concerning.”And then there was the woman who, with a tight smile, added, “The cake was a bit dry, don’t you think? Maybe next
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 137: The troublemaker
Ella’s POVThe party was at its peak, the living room alive with the joyful chaos of Lily’s sixth birthday. The kids were gathered around the table, their voices rising in a slightly off-key but enthusiastic rendition of “Happy Birthday” as Lily stood on a chair, her sparkly crown tilted on her curls, her face glowing with delight. Shawn stood beside me, his arm around my waist, singing along with a grin that made my heart flutter. My dad was across the room, snapping photos with his phone, his booming laugh cutting through the noise. Celeste was directing the kids like a conductor, making sure everyone got a turn to cheer as Lily leaned forward to blow out her candles. The cake, which was a masterpiece shaped like her favorite cartoon character, was met with gasps and cheers, and as I helped cut the first slices, the room filled with the sweet scent of vanilla and frosting.Lily’s laughter rang out as she smeared a bit of icing on Shawn’s nose, and he pretended to chase her, earn
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 136: I can handle it
Ella’s POVThe apartment was a whirlwind of color and noise, filled with the laughter of children, the chatter of parents, and the upbeat pop music playing through the speakers. Lily’s sixth birthday party was in full swing, and I was running on a mix of adrenaline and joy, darting between tasks like refilling juice cups, directing kids to the craft table, making sure the cupcakes didn’t run out. Shawn was a rock, his easy charm keeping the energy high as he helped pin tails on a donkey poster and tossed balloons with the kids. Celeste was in her element, weaving through the crowd with her usual confidence, making sure everything ran smoothly. But even in the chaos, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude becouse this was Lily’s day, and it was perfect.The door swung open, and Marcus walked in, his arms loaded with gift bags, his security guard trailing behind with even more. He looked almost comical, like an overzealous Santa Claus, his face lit up with a proud, slight
