The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 150: The cherry on the cake
Ella’s POVThe hospital was a whirlwind of activity, as always, the steady hum of beeping monitors and hurried footsteps filling the air as I slipped into the staff lounge for my five-minute break. My phone was pressed to my ear, Celeste’s voice bubbling through with her usual enthusiasm, her words a bright spot in the chaos of my shift. I sank into a worn-out chair, a paper cup of lukewarm coffee in my hand, and let her excitement wash over me.“Ella, I’m so happy for you and Shawn!” Celeste gushed, her voice practically vibrating with joy. “I always knew you two would end up together. You’re so perfect together, like, made for each other, I swear. I’m obsessed with you as a couple!”I laughed, her exaggerated enthusiasm warming my heart. “You’re ridiculous, Celeste,” I said, grinning as I sipped my coffee. “But I love you for it. Thanks for being so excited.”“Excited? I’m over the moon!” she said, and I could practically see her bouncing in her office chair. “You and my cousin ar
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 149: Deeply in love
Ella’s POVThe night air was crisp against my skin as Shawn and I lingered on the picnic blanket, the stars above us shimmering like scattered diamonds. The fairy lights I’d strung up for our special dinner cast a golden glow, illuminating the remnants of our meal—empty wine glasses, scattered rose petals, and the faint scent of chocolate tarts lingering in the air. Shawn’s arm cradled my head, his fingers tracing slow, tantalizing circles on my bare shoulder as he pointed to the sky, naming the brightest stars after me. “That one’s Ella,” he murmured, his voice a low, warm caress, “because you’re the brightest light in any room, anywhere you go.”My heart fluttered, a rush of emotion swelling in my chest, my eyes prickling with unshed tears. “You’re ridiculous,” I whispered, my voice thick with love, a smile tugging at my lips. “But I love you for it.”He rolled onto his side, propping himself on one elbow, his blue eyes catching the starlight, smoldering with a tenderness that ma

Ella’s POVThe hum of the car’s engine filled the quiet as Shawn drove us away from Marcus’s building, the city lights blurring past in a kaleidoscope of neon and shadow. The weight of leaving Lily with Marcus lingered in my chest, a mix of hope and unease that I couldn’t quite shake. Shawn’s hands gripped the steering wheel, his jaw tight, and I could feel the question coming before he even spoke.“You sure it was a good idea leaving Lily with Marcus?” he asked, his voice low, his eyes flicking to me briefly before returning to the road. “I mean, I get that he’s her dad, but we could’ve called Celeste. You know she’d love to hang out with our girl.”I sighed, leaning my head against the cool window, the city’s pulse a faint vibration against my skin. “I know,” I said, my voice soft but steady. “I’m worried too, Shawn. When we got there, Marcus reeked of cigarettes and cheap perfume.Probably from whatever woman he was with before I called him. It’s not exactly the picture of a stabl
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 147: My daughter, my cure
Marcus’s POVThe engine of my car was still ticking as I pulled into the parking lot of my building, the city’s neon glow reflecting off the hood. My hands gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles white, the weight of the day still pressing down on me like a lead blanket. The cigarette I’d smoked on the drive hadn’t done much to dull the ache in my chest. I was a mess, unraveling at the edges, but I didn’t have time to fall apart. Ella’s call, asking me to take Lily for the night, had pulled me out of Vanessa’s apartment and back into reality, forcing me to shove my chaos aside for my daughter.I spotted Ella’s car parked near the entrance, its headlights cutting through the dusk. As I stepped out of my car, the passenger door flew open, and Lily came barreling toward me, her little legs pumping, her curls bouncing under her sparkly headband. “Daddy!” she squealed, launching herself into my arms. I caught her, her small body colliding with mine in a hug so tight it squeezed the air f
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 146: Até my limit
Marcus’s POVThe afternoon sunset barely filtered through the heavy curtains of Vanessa Monroe’s apartment, casting a dim, hazy glow over the tangled sheets where we lay. The air was thick with the scent of sweat and cheap perfume, the kind that clung to your skin long after you left. My body was still buzzing from the frantic, almost desperate sex we’d just had, like two animals lost in a haze of need, no tenderness, no connection, just raw release. Vanessa was sprawled beside me, her blonde hair fanned out on the pillow, her breathing heavy as she stared at the ceiling. I didn’t care what she was thinking. I didn’t care about her at all. This was what I needed; I just needed sex, mindless and consuming, to drown out the noise in my head.I’d called Vanessa because she was easy, predictable. She didn’t expect anything from me, and I didn’t have to pretend. It was a transaction, it was sex for money, no strings, no feelings. She hated me, and I knew it, but that didn’t matter. I pai
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 145: There's no beauty in this
Theo’s POVThe drive back from the amusement park was filled with the kind of warmth that only a day with my kids could bring. Milla and Ben were sprawled in the backseat, clutching their oversized stuffed animals, a tiger for Ben, a glittery unicorn for Milla, giggling about the roller coasters, the cotton candy, and the epic bumper car battle where Milla had declared herself the undisputed champion. Their laughter was a balm to the raw edges of my heart, still stinging from Amanda’s text earlier: “I know you quit. You’d better find somewhere to live. We’re done.” I’d pushed it to the back of my mind, determined to give my kids a day free of the chaos that had become my life. The memory of their joy, their carefree smiles, was worth every second of uncertainty I faced now.As we pulled into the parking lot of our apartment complex, the sun was setting, casting a soft orange glow over the buildings. Milla was recounting her victory on the ring toss, her voice animated, while Ben in
