Semua Bab Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs! : Bab 161 - Bab 170

ASHELY'S P. O. V Kellan couldn't find a way to come back into my life, so he invaded my dream Correction: dreams. Over and over. Multiple times at night, sometimes even during the day. Whenever I close my eyes, he's there. Everywhere. Besides me, sitting next to me, smiling at me. Inside me Deep inside me. I blinked away the growing surge of heat in my body. I couldn't think about that stuff here and not now. I shouldn't be thinking about him at all, so this recent behavior is very strange, which is why I'm here to see Doctor Liam today. I gently sat on the edge of the hospital bed, The room smelled faintly of disinfectant and antiseptics. I patted the curve of my belly, feeling the tiny flutter I've been experiencing for some days now, not quite yet a kick though, but it was evidence that my daughter was doing fine. Doctor Liam was attending to another patient. A pregnant woman too. She had been rushed in here by her husband because she was bleeding and Doctor Liam had to att

ASHLEY'S P. O. V“I don't understand” I whispered. Genevieve blinked and glanced out my window, her eyes unfocused.My baby fluttered, this time more strongly, and I had to drag in a breath after another to calm my racing heart.My legs shook like twigs, and I lowered myself to the couch. “I don't understand,” I repeated, this time so quietly, it was almost inaudible.“I'm telling the truth, Ashley. My cancer's been back for months now,” she said as she dropped to my side on the couch.My fingers went numb, and a strange pressure rested on top of my chest, making it hard to drag in air. I raised my face to meet with hers, and my heart.... broke.We stared at each other, too full of emotions choking us to say anything.“Ho..how long?” I croaked out,“It's been four months since my Doctor saw more traces of the cancer” she admitted.I grabbed my throw pillow and tightened my fingers around it, the pressure in my heart intensified.Genevieve wasn't the best mother, but she was my mother

KELLAN'S P. O. VI tapped on my screen. AgainHer name blinked to life: HomeA hysterical laugh choked in my throat. I had saved her contact as ‘Home’ because, despite everything, she was Home. The place of comfort, where I always wanted to be.The screen went dark again, and I tapped it again. When Ashley called last night, I had left my phone in our bedroom while I took some fresh air on the balcony.It was hard to breathe properly in there, where her presence was still deep in every inch and corner of our home. I had gone back and seen one missed call from Ashley.My heart nearly burst out of my chest, I should have called back, but I couldn't bring myself to. I hesitated, and that felt like giving upBecause I'm a fúcking coward. Because I couldn't bear to hear her say those words to me again, because I was running away from my feelings instead of facing them. Worst of all, I feared that the call had been a mistake.The screen went off again. I ran a hand over my stubble, I was al

KELLAN'S P. O. VThere was no dress code. That was the first thing I noticed when I stepped out of my car. The Lancaster's mansion was grand, not surprising, Charles and I were similar, we preferred that kind of luxury that shouted. The type of wealth that dared you to question it.Vain? I know. But when you've lived as a poor boy who couldn't afford a suit for his own wedding, you'd tend to show offA heavy sigh found its way out of me as I took in the other guests, dressed in different shades of gold, navy, burgundy, and Ivory. Not a trace of emerald green anywhere.Except for me.And Poppy Lancaster.She was already on the front steps, her smile widened when my eyes landed on her, Poppy was dressed in an emerald green gown, her lips were painted red.Red. The colour Ashley was wearing when she shyly offered me a glass of fruit juice. All of a sudden, the person descending towards me wasn't Poppy Lancaster, but my Ashley, Her chocolate eyes shinning bright as she smiled at me.Hom

ASHLEY'S P.O.VMy world tilted off its balance. “Proof?” I muttered incredulously, my shoulder shook with a laugh. “Oh, please, Genevieve, tell me this is one of your stunts?”Her eyes narrowed at me. Genevieve crossed and uncrossed her legs. “I've known for a long time now Ashley. Believe me when I tell you that Kellan Langston has been cheating on you.”Something simmered under my skin, erupted from my veins, and burst to the surface. It was only when I was standing in front of Genevieve, with my heart beating rapidly, chest heaving, and red spots in my eyes, that I realized it was anger and something else... fear.“Do not lie about Kellan like that, you hear me?” I shouted, my fingers curled into fists by my side. “I know him. I've been with Kellan for eight years, and he has never, ever looked at another woman the way he looks at me.”She snorted and slowly pushed off the chair so we were standing face to face. Genevieve and I were about the same height, same build, only I had p
