The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon HAPPY FAMILY
The clinking of cutlery against plates filled the quiet dining room until Avery bowed her head down, small fingers folded together to pray. “Thank You, God, for the food,” she said softly, eyes squeezed shut. “And thank You because Daddy is finally eating with us tonight.”Jessica’s throat tightened. Her daughter’s prayer was so innocent, so disarming, yet it hit her in the face with the force of a tidal wave. She kept her gaze fixed on her plate, lips pressed together, while her chest was filling up with emotions that she refused to show.Ethan glanced at Jessica, a flicker of something unreadable in his expression before his gaze shifted back to Avery. “Amen,” he said quietly.“Amen,” Jessica echoed, forcing her voice steady.The three of them dug their cutlery into their food, silence stretching thin until Avery perked up, her eyes bright with curiosity. “Daddy, can you tell me a story about when you were little? Maybe when you did a school project with your dad?”“Avery,” Jes

The kitchen smelled faintly of coffee, its warmth blending with the sharper tang of lemon dish soap that had been used earlier. Sunlight slid across the table, hitting Jessica’s open laptop. On the screen, a cheerful blog displayed rows of “Budget-Friendly School Fair Projects,” each photo showing smiling parents and kids holding popsicle stick crafts, paper crowns, or jars of homemade slime. That was the pace she wanted she wanted Avery to go in, something manageable, affordable, and something Avery could proudly say she’d done herself.The front door creaked open.Jessica glanced up to see Ethan step inside, holding a sketchpad in his hand, the faint scent of rain clinging to his jacket. His hair was damp at the edges, and there was an energy about him for some reason. It felt bright for this early in the day.“I’m right on time,” he said with a smirk, as though punctuality was a personal victory to him that meant something.Jessica didn’t look away from the laptop. “You want a

Jessica nudged the car door closed with her hip, juggling a paper cup of coffee in one hand and Avery’s purple backpack in the other. The school’s front walkway still glistened from last night’s rain, the air cool and smelling faintly of wet pavement and pencil shavings.Avery skipped a step ahead, humming some tune only she knew from one of her TV shows. Jessica followed, sipping her coffee, already mentally mapping out her day. She was going to do some laundry, a client call, and groceries, but it all disappeared when a voice called out.“Morning, Jessica!” Mrs. Diaz, who always wore a smile of sunshine on her face and warm cardigans, waved from near the classroom door. “Don’t forget, the parents’ meeting with the school staff starts in a few minutes!”Jessica froze mid-step. “The what? A meeting?”Mrs. Diaz’s eyebrows lifted in mild surprise. “Yes, for the Parent–Children Creativity Fair. It’s today in the school’s auditorium.” She gestured toward the double doors down the hall
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon AMUSEMENT
Jessica woke before the alarm, the pale morning light pooling across the bedroom wall. Avery was curled against her, her little fist resting near her chin, the purple wristwatch gleaming faintly in the soft light.Jessica’s eyes lingered on it, the small, shining circle that had made Avery beam last night — and the words from her daughter’s dream echoed like a quiet knock inside her head. ‘Daddy left just like Uncle Ricky did.’Her chest tightened. What if he does leave again? The thought came uninvited, dragging with it a heavy ache. What if I’ve just opened the door for him to hurt her in the same way he hurt me?“Good morning, Mommy.” Avery’s voice was still groggy, breaking Jessica’s thoughts.Jessica smiled, masking her worry immediately. “Morning, baby.”Avery sat up, holding her wrist toward Jessica like she was hiding treasure. “Look! Still here!”Jessica chuckled, though it came out softer than she intended. “It’s not going anywhere.” She smiled at her because last nigh

Jessica walked back and forth the entire length of her parents’ living room, her bare feet sinking into the rug’s fibres, but the soft texture did nothing to calm the restless storm happening in her heart. The air felt thick after Lois left, almost as if her friend’s presence had been holding back the tide of disappointment, and now that she was gone, it was free to wash over her once again.She hated the sting from yesterday, hated that it still sat like a stone in her chest. But she refused to let it spill into Avery’s world.This couldn’t continue happening.Grabbing her phone, she inhaled slowly, dialled a number and pressed it to her ear.Ethan picked up on the second ring. “Jessica...”She cut in, her tone steady but firm. “I’m not calling to talk about yesterday. I’ve made a decision.”A beat of silence. “....okay.”“I’ll allow you to be in Avery’s life,” she said, pacing again, “but there will be conditions guiding this. Strict ones. Scheduled visits only. You don’t jus
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon TOO LATE TO APOLOGISE
The house was still when Jessica woke up from sleep.The sun hadn't fully come up, but the soft glow of morning filtered through the curtains, casting gentle light across her bedroom floor. A quiet stillness filled the air, not the peaceful kind, but the heavy kind that comes after something has shifted.Jessica pushed the blankets aside and walked barefoot down the hallway. From the staircase, she could already see the soft flicker of the television lighting up the living room.Avery sat curled up on the couch, wrapped tightly in her bunny-print blanket. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, but her usual joy was gone. She had no giggles, no funny commentary. Just silence.Jessica approached quietly and lowered herself beside her. “Hey, baby. You’re up already?” she said, brushing a strand of hair from her daughter’s cheek. “Did you sleep okay?”Avery shrugged, her shoulders barely moving beneath the blanket. “I guess.”Jessica studied her for a moment. No mention of Ethan or questions
