Semua Bab Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs! : Bab 151 - Bab 160

ASHLEY'S P. O. V. There was something different about today.I didn't cry during the night, and I actually looked forward to the day ahead. That's what's different. Today, I'd get to see my baby and know if it's a boy or a girl.Something like an excited squeal escaped my lips as I stood in front of the full-length mirror, in only shorts and a bra. My baby bump was growing bigger. I rested my hand on the curve of my belly. My eyes were tired from too much thinking and crying, but I didn't care about that, not today.Today, I chose not to worry over things I have no control over and focus on the brighter side.Am I confused and worried about what life will be like for me? YesAre my feelings spiralling, do I sometimes regret forcing Kellan to sign the divorce and other times applaud myself for doing just that? Also yesBut would I let myself keep on drowning in things that have already happened? NoI'm going to be a mother, that is all that matters.My stomach fluttered just thinking

ASHLEY'S P. O VJackie, July, and I stood outside the building. The sun beamed down on us as we squinted our eyes and looked up and up and upJuly scratched her scalp, her whole face was red from being under the sun for too long, but she was too stubborn to get under a shade “So....it's a six-story building. Okay”Jackie slipped her hands into the pockets of her jeans, her eyes slowly taking in the reddish-brick exterior and pale stone trim. “And the apartment available is on the sixth floor, Ashley have you considered how inconvenient it might be to carry groceries up there with your pregnancy” Jackie pulled out one hand and stretched it up for emphasis I chuckled, then paused as my hand instinctively went to the curve of my belly. “It's a baby Jackie, not a disability, and besides I'll use the elevator. That's what they're meant for”Jackie shook her head like she couldn't comprehend what I was saying. “What if the elevator breaks down and you have to hurry to the hospital for som

ASHELY'S P. O. VThe envelope in my hand felt heavier than normal paper should.I've had it for weeks, I made Kellan sign this, but somehow, I hadn't been able to take it to my lawyer so the divorce process could be finalized.But now that I was getting my apartment and fixing the pieces of my life, I couldn't drag this longer anymore.Kellan and I were done. Period.A hard swallow worked its way down my throat as I held the envelope to my chest. The office was surrounded by charts and some pictures of my lawyer from when he was in law school, It smelled like legal ink and air conditioning.The door behind me cracked open “Ah, Ms Ashley. Sorry to keep you waiting” He greeted, turning around his chrome desk to take a seat “It's no problem, I haven't been waiting for long” I replied quietly.He leaned back into his seat, his eyes being his glasses sharp and assertive. “I see you've gotten Mr Langston to sign the divorce,” he said, nudging his chin to where I held the papers too tightly

ASHELY'S P. O. VTWO WEEKS LATER“So you're telling me the landlord upgraded the flooring, the wiring, even the appliances.” Jackie drawled, earning her an eye roll from Sydney.The elevator pinged and stopped on the sixth floor., I reached into my coat pockets to bring out the keys to my apartment—4C.July was the first to step out of the elevator with a box in hand, every one of them, July, Jackie, Beulah, Gwendie, and Sydney all had a box with them.I had wanted to carry some from the van downstairs, but July feigned a glare my way, and Sydney had launched into a full-on health speech on why I shouldn't be lifting heavy objects.I loved and appreciated how they cared for me, but sometimes it was too much. I'm just nineteen weeks gone, not two days to labour.“Yes,” I answered Jackie's question. She had been surprised that the new landlord had the apartment cleaned and fixed and yet didn't raise the rent.Jackie gasped “Unbelievable”“Maybe he's just being generous” Beulah chipped

ASHLEY'S P.O.VI felt his breath on my neckHotBurning Scorching “Yes,” I whimpered, fisting the sheets by my side. “More.” His weight pressed me down, his fingers teasing the inside of my thigh, sweetly, slowly but not where I needed it. “You like that, love?” Kellan purred into my ears. My back arched and I managed a nod. It was dark in here, so dark I couldn't make out anything except the softness of the sheets, his silhouette hovering over me, and the need pulsing between us.My words came out in a breathless pant “Yes. Please” Even though it was dark, I swear I could see his wicked smile. Kellan leaned down and slanted his lips on mine, kissing me deeply, passionately.His tongue swept across the roof of my mouth and I met his with equal energy. God, I forgot how he kissed me, the way he made everything around us fade, till there was only me, him, us, and the pleasure we give each other. “Kellannn,” I moaned against his mouth. Again, he smiled, and my stomach fluttered.
