Ashley’s POV

Her response to my question was that she had finally figured out that she was sleeping on him, and that she loved him very much, and believed that he would make her happy.

"You don't love him, and you'll be miserable with him." I pointed out flatly.

"Really? So who then do you think I love?" She asked me slyly.

I knew what she was trying to do, but I pretended not to, and congratulated her once more, at which point that disappointed look entered into her eyes again.

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   The ambush

    Jeff’s POVThe longer Will drove and the longer I followed him, the more certain I became that this wasn’t just an ordinary outing.Most normal human beings didn’t leave the comfort of their beds in the middle of the night to go on a long drive outside town.If Will had something to hide, then this area would be the best place for him to hide it.The roads were deserted for the most part, except for Will, me, and the occasional vehicle that drove by.If that bastard indeed had Ashley … oh, God, if he did, I would tear him to shreds with my bare hands before the police even had a chance to deal with him!The further we drove, the rougher and narrower the roads became, until the city lights disappeared behind us.I drove with my headlights off, always careful to maintain an undetectable distance from Will. It wouldn't do for him to notice me following him and change his course. By the time he finally slowed down, my heart was pounding. What was I about to find? I eased my car to a stop

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   Suspicious activity

    Jeff’s POVThe closer I got to Will’s neighborhood, the more I began to question my sanity. What the hell was I even doing going here at this time of the night?What on earth was I going to do when I finally arrived at his neighborhood? Drive up to his compound, knock on the gate, and ask him to let me in at this time of the night, as if we were best friends? That was preposterous.Even if I could actually knock on his door, what would I give as my reason for doing so, especially at this time of the night? That I wanted to check his basement to see if he was hiding Ashley in there?I shook my head tiredly. This whole endeavor of mine tonight wasn’t just ridiculous. It was worse than ridiculous.If anyone found out that I had driven all the way here in the middle of the night and just lurked around Will’s neighborhood and house like a damn stalker, I would look completely unhinged.And maybe I had actually come unhinged from lack of sleep. After all, throughout these past days since As

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   Renewed hope

    Ashley’s POV “Well, they would want to trail you for several reasons I can think of off the top of my head. For starters, you were fucking both friends, one of whom was your supposed girlfriend, and then they caught you, after which you proceeded to house one of them. You opened your mouth to inform the police that you think both women were abducted from your residence.”“And so wh …”The man cut him off. “You keep taking unnecessary risks, like taking pictures of that woman and sending them to her boss, when the original plan was to off both women, stage their deaths, and forget about it. How long do you think the lie you told everyone about them being addicts is going to hold, especially if you keep sneaking around this place in the middle of the night like a damn thief? All that’s needed is for some nosy paparazzi or the police to follow you here, and the rest will be history.”My heart started beating fast with hope as I listened to the conversation. Will remained silent to all

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   The disagreement

    Ashley’s POVIt couldn’t have been more than a few days since I got locked up in the dungeon, but somehow I had lost track of time and didn’t know exactly how many days it had been.I had stopped crying. Crying didn’t do me any good. It only showed them how weak I was and made them go after me all the more like the bloodthirsty demons they were.Ever since Janet breathed her last, I had become empty, for lack of a better word. It was hours after she died before someone came to remove her body.I didn’t bother to look up when heavy footsteps echoed outside the cell, and the door creaked open, because I already knew why they were here.I was still sitting in the same position that I had been sitting for hours, holding on to Janet’s hand.The guard who opened the door came over to check on Janet, no doubt already knowing that she was dead.“Move,” he ordered me in a bored and annoyed voice, as if he was annoyed that Janet had had the nerve to die and give him the unwanted job of having t

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   A sense of urgency

    Jeff’s POVI scoffed under my breath, my grip tightening around the remote. I was a hundred per cent sure that this bastard was laying it on thick, yet none of the people who were interviewing him could see through him.The whole sad bit he was trying to portray felt rehearsed to me. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had stood in front of the mirror and practiced the exact way to look devastated.“There’s just something off about this guy,” I muttered.Eliza glanced at the screen, then back at me. “Off? How do you mean?”“Can't you see how fake he looks? He’s clearly overdoing the sadness and guilt. It doesn’t feel real to me.”Eliza directed her gaze back to the television and studied Will for a moment, but after a few seconds, she shook her head, unsurely.“I don’t know, Jeff. He seems genuine enough to me.”“Really? You don't think he's pretending and laying it on thick?” I asked her, frowning.“No, I don't. If something like that really did happen in his house, it would make

  • Winning My Angry Ex Back   The declaration

    Jeff’s POVI went to my family home with Eliza, Jack, and Aurora. I had been here only once or twice ever since my dad died, because each time I came here, I was reminded of nothing but sickness and death … those of both my parents.This time around, though, it was different. Being here with my sister and the kids took my mind off things, at least to an extent.Luckily enough, Aurora took to Jack, and when she woke up, they began playing together like old friends, although the sadness was still evident in her expression.My gaze drifted away from the television, landing on the far side of the room, where they were currently playing. They were sprawled out on the floor, surrounded by the building blocks and other toys and games.Aurora’s earlier distress seemed to have disappeared, at least for now, for which I was most grateful.A small smile tugged at her lips as she carefully stacked one block on top of the other, while Jack animatedly tried to outdo her with an even taller structur

    Tom’s POVWhen I woke up, I found out that I was locked up in a cage … yes, you read that right. I was locked up in a bloody metal cage, like some feral wild animal, with no idea of what on earth I had done to deserve such ill-treatment.The cage barely contained me, having barely enough room for m

    Jeff’s POVI handed him the small present that I brought for him, and he took it from me gratefully with a shaking, bony hand. His voice was weak, but unmistakably warm when he spoke. “Thank you, son. Jeff ... you came ... I’m so glad you did. I didn’t think that I would see you again until I

    Jeff’s POVThe drive down from the hospital to my family’s house felt longer than it actually was. The streets we drove past looked strange, yet at the same time familiar.This was a quiet, sleepy, rich neighborhood, so there wasn’t much to see other than sprawling mansions. Several years had passe
