The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 134: I'm Done
Theo’s POVThe sterile hum of the lab’s waiting area buzzed in my ears as I sat, my leg bouncing restlessly against the linoleum floor. I’d dropped off the hair sample from Milla’s brush two days ago, and the wait for the DNA test results was eating me alive. Every minute felt like a lifetime, the uncertainty gnawing at my core. Was Milla mine? Was Ben? The suspicion that Amanda had betrayed me with Marcus had been a quiet poison for years, but now it was a roar I couldn’t ignore. I hadn’t told anyone—not Ella, not my parents, and definitely not Marcus—about the test. It was my burden to carry, at least until the truth came out.But sitting in that waiting room, staring at the generic motivational posters on the walls, I knew I couldn’t keep living the way I had been. Working as Marcus’s assistant, swallowing my resentment every day just because Amanda insisted it was a “good opportunity,” was suffocating me. She’d pushed me into that job, claiming it was for our family’s stability

Celeste’s POV“Your apartment’s actually pretty nice,” I commented with a little laugh, glancing briefly at Marcus Carter’s bedroom.I was lying in bed with him, completely naked, his bare body wrapped around me from behind. We’d just made love passionately, well after we’d both left Ella’s place. There was so much chemistry between us that we clearly couldn’t resist. Before I knew it, we were in his apartment, kissing like mad, tearing each other’s clothes off in a frenzy as he carried me to his bed.Now that the desire was fading, replaced by intense waves of pleasure, I could feel the weight of my choices settling on my conscience. I mean, I’d promised Ella that it had only been a one-night thing with her ex-husband, nothing more. Yet here I was, doing it again, and every time I looked at him, I felt something so deep inside me that I refused to let take root.Marcus laughed, a bit embarrassed. “The compliments go to the interior designer my company hired. I had nothing to do wit
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
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 138: we will be okay
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
