All Chapters of Back In The Arms Of My Billionaire Ex Husband : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The ride home was silent, heavy with words left unsaid. Ashley sat with her hands tightly in her lap, staring at the tall buildings and trees passing by the window. Shadows and light flickered across her face, but she didn’t move or speak.Before tonight, she might have tried to start a conversation, a small question about his day, a quiet comment about the weather, anything to bridge the distance. But after dinner, after the way he had left her sitting alone to talk to Reese, she didn’t see the point anymore.From the corner of her eye, she caught him glancing at her. That faint smile from earlier still lingered on his lips. But it hadn’t been for her. She could still see him at the house, leaning slightly closer to Reese, speaking in a voice softer than she had heard from him in months.She had watched the way his eyes warmed, the way his fingers brushed the table near hers as if they shared a secret.He hadn’t even tried to hide it.She wanted to believe it meant nothing, that mayb

Ashley woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar room. Her body ached as she struggled to sit up in bed. She looked around, confusion etched on her face, until her eyes landed on the shredded pieces of lingerie she had worn the night before.She gasped as realization dawned. She quickly glanced under the duvet—there was no need for anyone to tell her what had happened. Ashley smacked her forehead repeatedly, blaming herself for drinking until she passed out.“What do I put on?” she said, her face pale with panic, as she managed to rise to her feet. Her gaze searched the room and settled on a long-sleeve shirt on the couch.Putting it on, she prepared to leave the room when someone finally emerged from the bathroom. She could hear footsteps behind her, causing her to freeze in place.As she remembered how the person had taken advantage of her drunken state and had a one-night stand with her without her consent, she clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles turned white.With these t

Dante and Ashley sat quietly in his car, parked just across the street from the hospital. Ashley fiddled nervously with her fingers, her gaze meeting Dante for a brief second before she quickly looked away.“You said you wanted to speak to me urgently.”Dante cleared his throat slightly, breaking the odd silence.Feeling his gaze on her, Ashley wished the ground would open and swallow her. If not for the tight situation, she wouldn’t sit in the car of the same man who shattered her into pieces.Ashley licked her lips nervously. “I need your help… it’s really urgent. I have to pay my brother’s hospital bills by tomorrow, and I don’t have enough.”“You know money isn’t my problem. I can help you with any amount you need, but what do I get in return?” he said shamelessly, going straight to the point without hesitation.Ashley’s gaze flickered as his words rang in her ear; she couldn’t believe such words were coming out from Dante. When they were much younger, he used to be shy and respec

“Come see me now or else…” she read aloud.Ashley scoffed, wondering what trick Jude had up his sleeve by sending her a video of her at the club.“What a pathetic move,” she muttered. “What exactly are you trying to prove, Jude?”She shoved her phone back into her pocket, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. The moment he cheated on her, he became no better than a stranger.Ashley walked back into the room, making sure to keep her expression neutral, only to freeze at the sight before her.A young teenage girl was sitting beside Tristian on the bed, her head resting on his chest as he gently stroked her hair with his free hand.Ashley cleared her throat.The girl jolted upright, her face flushing with embarrassment.“Hi, I’m Nyla,” she said, waving awkwardly.Tristian had mentioned Ashley to Nyla countless times, and she had been looking forward to meeting her.She was tall and petite, with delicate skin, a baby face, and fine features. Her youthful outfit matched her

Each passing second only made Ashley feel more tense. “What is it?” she demanded, her heart pounding loudly. “You know Penelope, right?” Dante asked. Ashley nodded quickly. “Yeah, she’s my colleague. Is she the one behind the video?” she asked anxiously. Dante hesitated before nodding. “She’s the one who posted it and sent it to your fiancé, saying—” She cut him off bitterly. “You mean my ex.” A dry laugh escaped her lips. It didn’t surprise her, not after catching Jude and Penelope together at his place the other day. “Don’t worry, Ash. I’ll take care of everything, okay?” Dante said gently, glancing at his wristwatch. If he stayed any longer, he’d be late for work. Not that it really mattered, he was the CEO after all, but punctuality was something he valued. Ashley nodded, emotion rising in her chest. Without Dante, she couldn’t imagine what her life would look like right now. As if reading her thoughts, he gave her a soft smile, took her hands in his, and pressed a
