Jessica sat in her family’s spacious living room, one of the many that they owned in their family estate. She was lost in thought, absentmindedly drawing out the outline of her tea cup while she sat. She had returned from the café a few hours ago, but her mind was still replaying all the events that had happened in there. It had gone worse than she had prepared for mentally and emotionally.

Her parents both walked into the room, returning from an errand they had to run. They watched as their daughter sat unaware that they had walked into the room as she held her tea cup tightly. Janet, her mother. quickly took a seat which was opposite to where Jessica sat while Joseph chose his comfy armchair, watching their daughter entirely before she recognized their presence.

“Earth to Jessica!”

“We’ve been watching you for a few minutes and you didn’t realize that we had come into the room.” Janet finally spoke, breaking the silence and making Jessica conscious of her surroundings.

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon   PURPLE RAIN

    The sun hung low in the sky as Ethan’s car pulled into the driveway of Jessica’s parents’ estate. The familiar house stood still and quiet as they drove in. Her parents were away on a weekend trip, and only the staff remained home to take care of everything. The heavy front doors creaked open as housekeepers stepped outside, ready to assist them with whatever they needed.Ethan shut off the engine and glanced at Jessica beside him. She was quiet, her arms crossed and eyes forward.He got out and circled the car to open the backseat door. Avery was already unbuckling her own seatbelt, her little fingers fumbling with the latch.“Can you carry me, Daddy?” she asked with her soft voice, eyes hopeful.Ethan froze at her words.Jessica stood still, watching the scene unfold in front of her.He glanced at her, uncertain and asking for silent permission from her.She hesitated...then gave a short nod to him.Ethan's chest tightened. He reached into the car and lifted Avery into his a

    A soft gasp broke the stillness of the hospital room.“Mommy?” Avery’s tiny voice echoed under the dim light, her eyes fluttering open as she looked at her environment.Jessica’s eyes snapped open as if she’d been holding her breath while she was sitting and sleeping. She bolted upright from the chair beside her daughter’s bed, blinking through the haze of exhaustion she was feeling.“Avery?” she whispered, stumbling to her feet.“Mommy!” Avery beamed with joy, slowly lifting her arms up.Jessica reached her in two strides, hugging her daughter against her chest as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Oh, my baby. You’re awake, you’re really awake.”Avery giggled softly, her arms barely strong enough to cling to her own mother’s neck. “Mommy, why are you crying.”Jessica sniffled, pressing her lips to her daughter's forehead. “I thought I was going to lose you, my love. I thought I’d never hear your sweet voice again.”“But I’m okay,” Avery whispered to Jessica, her small fingers gently bru

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon   For Avery

    Jessica sat beside her daughter’s bed, her fingers gently tracing slow circles over the back of her tiny hand. The steady beep of the heart monitor filled the room, grounding her against the swirl of emotions causing turmoil inside of her.Ethan entered the room quietly, a paper cup of coffee in his right hand. “Figure you may need this,” he said, offering the cup to her.Jessica blinked at him, then took the cup. Her fingers brushed his, sending an unwanted shiver down her spine that had nothing to do with the cold hospital air. “Thanks,” she whispered slowly.He pulled a chair beside hers, settling down without saying another word. For a while, they just sat there, the low hum of machines the only sound between them.Jessica broke the silence first. "When did everything between us get so... complicated?"Ethan leaned closer to her, resting his elbows on his knees."Maybe when I stopped seeing you as someone who was enough for me," he said after a beat.Jessica stared into her coffee

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon   Goodbye, Finally

    The screen on Ricky’s phone dimmed, but the words from the text had been seared into his mind; Jessica curled up against Ethan, her hand resting on his; the intimacy he saw was impossible to ignore.He had come to the hospital with his heart racing, fear on every step he took, worried about Avery even though he and Jessica had just had an argument.Now, all he could feel was cold.The burn of betrayal wasn’t loud or fiery. It was still, quiet and creeping. Like a crack beneath the surface of something he’d convinced himself to forget. Deep down, he’d always known. But tonight made it real to him.His feet moved before he made the conscious decision to step back into the hospital.The door stood slightly ajar. Beyond it, the soft sound from Avery’s heart monitor pulsed like a clock to king down.Jessica stirred when the door creaked. Her eyes opened up slowly, then they widened as they landed on Ricky. She sat up fast, pushing herself out of the chair. “Ricky,” she whispered, alr

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon   Farewell Lullabies

    The rhythmic beep of the monitor was the only sound coming from the hospital room for a long while. Jessica sat next to Avery, her fingers brushing back the damp strands of her hair. She’d been humming, soft, quiet, just enough to soothe her little girl. The tune wavered here and there like her voice was on the edge of breaking forever.Ethan stood near the window, arms folded, watching both women.“She’s holding steady,” the doctor said to both parents, stepping into the room. “Her fever’s under control for now, but we want to keep her for observation. Her blood work shows signs of a viral infection, most likely the flu, but we won’t know more until the test results come back.”Jessica nodded, barely looking up at the doctor. “How many days?”“Two to three, minimum. She’ll need rest and fluids going into her. We’ll monitor for any secondary infections, just to be safe, so she doesn’t have to come back here.”“She’s going to be okay?” Ethan asked, his voice sounding tight.The

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon   Fast and Afraid

    “Come on, Jess,” Ethan’s voice was tight with panic as he yanked open the car door. Jessica didn’t need to be told twice. Her heels barely even hit the floor before she was inside his car, slamming the door behind her. Ethan was already behind the wheel, his jaw locked, eyes cold and focused like a missile locked on a target as he reversed with a sharp turn.Her heart was already racing, but it slipped entirely when he blew through a stop sign on the road without slowing down.“Ethan!” She gaped, grabbing the dashboard.“Sorry, I’ve got this.” He said voice clipped. “I’m not wasting a damn second of our time.”Jessica twisted in her seat, fingers brushing Avery’s cheek. Her daughter’s head lolled in her arms like a doll, her skin flushed, her breath shallow and fast. Just as fast as they had returned to the house to get Avery.“Avery, baby, can you hear me?” she whispered, moving a strand of her daughter’s hair behind her ear. “It’s Mommy. I’m here for you, sweetheart.”Avery’
