Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs! : Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

ASHLEY'S P. O. VEIGHT YEARS AGO. There's something about the guy mowing the lawn that made my breath catch every single time. Mother thinks I skipped golf with her and father today because of my period cramps, she doesn't know it because I just want to sit at my window and watch him as he works. He paused to wipe sweat from his face with the back of his hand, and the muscles in his biceps flexed. My heart began beating fast, Is he going to do it again, take off his shirt and tuck it in his back pockets? I turned towards my bedroom door to make sure it was locked, I couldn't risk anyone coming in to meet me drooling over the man from Pleasure Grove. I held my breath and then....he peeled off his shirt.“Wow,” I whispered dreamily, nearly licking my window as I pressed my face against it. My chest rose and fell with my shallow breath.“Kellan,” I whispered his name with reverence. Months ago, I heard the cooks and helpers talking about him when I went to grab some fruit from the

KELLAN'S P.O.VAshley was the death of me.Ashley in that dress—my last breath, my ultimate undoing.But Ashley saying yes to a kiss? Even though she may hate me, that was the end of everything I feared, and the beginning of everything I hoped for. She was still my Ashley. My wife, the woman I'll do anything for. “Only one kiss and you'll leave me alone, Kellan,” she said with a flat voice and cold eyes. “I mean it”My throat tightened. “Yes,” I lied. The hell I would. Ashley and I were the endgame; she will be the mother of our children, we will grow old and gray together, slow and happy and we were going to have a big family.It was Ashley or no one. I had never fallen in love before Ashley, and falling out of love wasn't an option, nor was being with someone else.“Just one,” I murmured. Not one kiss, but just one chance to prove that I can be better, that I will never put her second, that I still love her with everything in me.Her eyes narrowed slightly in contemplation, whil

ASHLEY'S P.O.V‘Kellan Langston, founder and CEO of Lockra, ranks among the top three in home security innovation. The story of the twenty-nine-year-old entrepreneur is both inspiring and poignant. Raised by a single father in a crumbling home in Pleasure Groove, Dallas. Kellan dreamed of something more...’“Boooo,” Jackie sneered, throwing popcorn at July's television.I hugged the throw pillow, watching as Kellan came up the studio set, as handsome and neat as ever. His eyes shone with pride, not the dullness that was there three days ago while he mowed the lawn.“Who would you want to attribute your success to?” The interviewer on screen asked Kellan, looking at him with that face of feminine appreciation he always pretended not to notice.Kellan's dazzling smile lit up. “I would like to appreciate my amazing wife, Ashley Langston.”He looked directly at the camera, and for some reason, I felt like he could see me through it.I sat up straighterKellan's voice dropped to something

ASHLEY'S P. O V“Twelve weeks pregnant..” I echoed in a hollow voice, repeating the doctor's words. Doctor Liam nodded, glancing between me and the monitor. “Try to relax, Ashley.” He said, gesturing to the monitor where my heart rate was climbing. The rhythmic beeping had turned frantic. “Your heart is racing.”I brought a hand to my throat, rubbing the tightness there. “I think you're mistaken, Sir” Doctor Liam gave me a soft smile. “Those were your cousin's exact words when I told her”I kept on rubbing my throat, even though it was burning now. “No offence sir, but that's because you are. I was pregnant” A lump clogged my words, and I swallowed the giant ball. “I was pregnant, but I lost the baby.”I watched Doctor Liam's face for any flicker of surprise, but he nodded calmly.“I am aware.” He said “I performed a scan”My brows drew together in confusion. I glanced out the window, to make sure that the sky was still blue and the world was real “Then make it make sense,” I s

KELLAN'S POV I paused outside my office door Ashley was in there, waiting for me. My heart was in my throat, my emotions spilling. The tightness stretched over my body. I rubbed the place where my chest was heaving. I couldn't breathe. If Ashley is here, that means she has forgiven me. Right? I couldn't accept any other alternative. I closed my eyes tightly. I could see her, beautiful, the way she smiles not just with her lips, but her warm chocolate eyes, her golden brown hair framing her face. The most beautiful person I have ever seen. I fisted the shirt over my chest, willing myself to breathe, to calm down, and go meet her. My wife. The ring in my pocket felt heavier than usual. I dipped my hand in and felt the cold jewelry. I was dying to see her with her ring again. Maybe it will be today, maybe she's here so we can go home together. I opened the doors Then, I stopped breathing. Did I say she was the most beautiful person I have ever seen? That didn't d
