The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 186: Such a brave girl who deserves the world
Ella POVThe days following Theo and Ben’s deaths were a blur of grief and determination, each moment heavy with the weight of their loss. Shawn and I had cut our honeymoon in Bora Bora short, the idyllic turquoise waters and starlit nights replaced by the harsh reality of Chicago’s gray streets. The news of the car crash—Theo and Ben trapped in an explosion that stole them both—had shattered us, leaving a void that no amount of tropical beauty could fill. Lily was heartbroken, her bright energy dimmed as she grappled with losing her best friend, Ben, and her beloved “Uncle Theo.” I held her through her tears, my own heart breaking for her, for Milla, for the family that had been torn apart. But beneath the grief, a fire burned in me—a need for justice, for answers, for someone to pay for this unimaginable tragedy.Shawn and I didn’t hesitate. We hired the best private investigators in Chicago, a team known for their relentless pursuit of the truth, and tasked them with digging into
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 185: Milla Gale
Ella POVThe news of Theo and Ben’s deaths hit me like a tidal wave, shattering the idyllic peace of our Bora Bora honeymoon. Shawn and I had been lounging on the deck of our overwater bungalow, the turquoise lagoon stretching out before us, Lily napping inside after a morning of splashing in the waves. When Celeste’s call came, her voice tight with urgency, the world seemed to stop. “Ella, it’s Theo,” she’d said, her words trembling. “He’s been in a bad accident. It’s serious.” But it wasn’t just serious—Theo and Ben were gone, killed in a horrific car crash, an explosion that left nothing but grief in its wake. My heart broke for Milla, for the little girl who’d lost her father and her brother, the two people she loved most in the world. I couldn’t stop picturing her face, her big brown eyes filled with tears, her small frame trembling with a loss too big for her to bear.“Shawn, we have to go back,” I said, my voice cracking as tears spilled down my cheeks. I was sitting on the e
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 184: This is not what I planned
Amanda POVThe dim glow of my phone screen was the only light in the living room, casting harsh shadows across the furniture as I sat on the couch, my fingers wrapped tightly around the device. The house was quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against my skin, amplifying the anticipation twisting in my gut. Jorge, the guy I’d hired to tamper with Theo’s car, was supposed to text me any minute now, confirming that the job was done, that Theo was out of my life for good. I needed this to work. Theo deserved it—after everything he’d done, trying to take Milla and Ben from me, acting like he was the better parent, the better person. He’d betrayed me, humiliated me, and now he was trying to steal my kids. I wasn’t going to let him win.I glanced at the clock on the wall, its ticking a faint rhythm in the stillness. My hands were clammy, my heart racing with a mix of nerves and excitement. I’d been planning this for days, ever since that humiliating confrontation at Theo’s
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 183: The revolt
Theo POVLife had finally started to feel like it was mine again, like I’d clawed my way out of the darkness and found solid ground. After everything—Marcus’s betrayal, Amanda’s cruelty, the years of lies and pain—I’d somehow come out on the other side, stronger, with a future I could actually believe in. Working for Shawn had been a game-changer, a job that not only paid the bills but gave me purpose, a sense of pride I hadn’t felt in years. The office was a bustling hub of activity, all glass walls and polished floors, a far cry from the chaos of my past. More than that, though, the custody battle for Milla and Ben was finally tipping in my favor. Amanda’s outburst in front of Cassidy Hamilton, the child welfare counselor, had been the nail in her coffin, proof that she was unfit, unstable, a danger to our kids. I wasn’t fighting for custody out of spite—I wanted Milla and Ben to have a life free from her toxicity, a home where they could feel safe, loved, and heard.That afterno
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 182: Our honeymoon
Ella's POVThe turquoise waters of Bora Bora lapped gently against the wooden stilts of our overwater bungalow, the sun casting a golden glow across the lagoon, painting the horizon in hues of pink and orange. Shawn, Lily, and I had arrived in this paradise a few days ago for our honeymoon, and every moment felt like a dream, a world away from the chaos of Chicago. The air was warm, scented with hibiscus and salt, and the gentle rustle of palm trees outside our open-air deck was a soothing backdrop to our days. From our bungalow, we could see the majestic Mount Otemanu rising in the distance, its lush green slopes framed by a sky so blue it seemed to stretch forever. This was our escape, our chance to breathe, to revel in our new marriage, and to make memories with Lily as a family.Mornings started with Shawn and me waking to the soft light filtering through the gauzy curtains, the sound of waves pulling us from sleep. We’d lie in bed, his arm around me, my head on his chest, lis
The Billionaire's Ex-wife Never Looks Back 181: You can't win
Amanda's POVThe afternoon sun filtered through the lace curtains of Milla’s bedroom, casting delicate, shifting patterns across the pastel walls, a soft beauty that felt like a mockery of the storm brewing inside me. I stood in the doorway, my arms crossed tightly, my frustration already simmering as I heard my daughter’s voice, bright and animated, talking on her phone. “Is it really true that you and Uncle Shawn got married out of nowhere, Aunt Ella?” Milla said, her smile wide, her eyes sparkling with that hero-worship she reserved for Ella. “That’s so romantic! Did you wear a big dress? Oh, tell me everything!” Her words twisted the knife of jealousy in my chest, sharp and bitter. Milla, with her boundless adoration for Ella, hung on every word Ella said, every story of her perfect life, her perfect love, her perfect everything. To Milla, Ella was a role model, an inspiration, the woman she wanted to be. Me? I was just her mother, invisible, ignored, never good enough. I’d sp
