The Billionaire's Ex

***Staring back at the couple who were standing on the balcony of an apartment, was the beautiful sky. The stars sparkled bluntly at them without shame and they never took their eyes off it too.It was the beginning of the new day that had begun their one-year anniversary. They decided to spend it together, as a couple that they were. Ashton and Thea,In a few weeks, they were to be wedded as one, forever. Ashton swept her hair over allowing cool air brush her exposed shoulders, then he placed a necklace on her. The diamond glittered in the night, twinkling along with the stars. He could feel her smiling from behind. He had in mind that she loved these kind of presents and that was what he always showered her with.There came a time where she once refused to accept anything from him but he always made her accept them. No matter what she says. He liked her to feel special, to feel that there was no one else but her and he prayed she thought the same.He finally turned her to face hi

(Australia, 11pm)Stirring, Thea held up the beautiful silver necklace that was her favorite. What she never chose to sell even though it was very expensive.The shape of the moon adorned with diamond stared back at her."You are the moon and I am the sun, do you remember?" Ash said. She was his moon. Was! She was pretty sure he hated her now. He was disgusted with her. She was sure that he wanted nothing to do with her now after that day. But everything was her fault.Everything happened so much like a nightmare. If she had accepted that the child was his, then he would know that she went as far as working at a club to raise money for her mother's drugs. But she didn't want to take the risk.Constantly, her mother reminded her that she didn't make the best decision that evening. She should have told Ashton the truth. But she was so concerned about what people thought about her. That she was only in a relationship with him because of his money.She did infact say to the family that t

---Freya dialed a number and placed the phone to her ears. Her fingers were tapping nervously against her purse. She had a thing with patience. She never liked to be kept waiting and he knew better than to keep her waiting.It was unconscious that her eyes found another who had been trying to get her attention for a while she had been there. He waved again before signaling for her to come outside. "About time," she muttered. She stood and walked away from her table and stepped out of the restaurant as he requested. Her eyes searched for the man that grabbed her attention a while ago. He no longer stood in his former position as if he didn't want to be seen. She found him leaning on the wall of the building close by. The young man smiled at her and she let out a sigh of relief.---"Sir, I've got the report from Mr Frederick," Samuel said as they walked hastily into the company."Good let me take a look," Ashton told him, and received the file from Samuel. Never pausing, he flipped

"Hey, wait up!" The girl kept on going, increasing her pace instead. "Hey Thea, stop ignoring me, okay?" "Thea!" He gripped her arm and she was quick to recoil from his touch. His grip was strong, strong enough to keep her from leaving."What do you want? I've told you countless times, I don't have feelings for you, Ash.""Really," he moved closer to her, matching her stare. "You don't have feelings for me?" He asked with a smug look.She scoffed. "Why would you think that in the first place? I'm not like the other girls that swoon over you so easily, Ash-ton. And might I remind you, I'll never make that mistake. Now let go of me!"Something snapped in him and she could feel his jaw tighten. He pulled her closer, very close, so that their noses were almost touching and she gulped nervously. "No," he simply said. "You say you feel nothing for me yet your heart wants to jump out of your chest anytime you see me," She furrowed her brows in confusion. How'd he know? Oh my goodness, Jen

"Miss Kennedy, in my office now!" Ashton ordered through the telephone and Thea practically ran to her boss's office. "Yes, Mr Ryder, you sent for me?" She said immediately. She stood before him. He raised his head from the paper he was holding in his hands. "What says the time, Miss Kennedy?" He asked. "I'm afraid I don't have a watch with me sir," she said. Relaxing back on his chair at her words, he said, "How is it possible that my own private secretary doesn't even have a watch to call her own." "Well, I had one before but it stopped working a long time ago and I didn't have the time to get it done," she told me. "Not that I care about your watch replacement, Miss Kennedy, but you always need to give me my coffee. I usually send Miss Weston, but she has a lot of work at hand. Besides, it's your responsibility, isn't it?" "Yes sir, I'll go get your coffee," she said without hesitation. Her eyes lingered on him longer than intended. He raised a brow at her in curiosity. I
