All Chapters of Winning My Angry Ex Back: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Ashley's POVI met Jeff at a time in my life when the future seemed bleak and uncertain. I had moved to a new city in my quest for greener pastures and had been there for almost two years. To come here, I had to leave my best friend, Janet, in the town I lived in before, so I was all alone here.I had always been a loner. Being an orphan with no living relatives, or at least, none that you knew, would do that to you, but still, it hurt so much to have to leave Janet. I had gotten so used to having her in my life.What made my decision to leave my comfort zone hurt even more was the fact that all the while I had been here, nothing seemed to be working well for me. It got to a point that I was even beginning to regret leaving the city where I had grown up, and I started thinking of moving back there.I hadn't realized how difficult it was to start afresh. Needless to say, but when I moved to the city, there was no way I could afford to stay in a relatively good area, so of course I hea

Ashley's POVThe new thing that troubled me about Jeff was the fact that he never spoke about his family, not even once throughout all the time we dated. At first, I didn't notice this, or maybe I did notice it, but chose to turn a blind eye to it.For someone like me who had always dreamt of having a family, and while I was growing up, wished that I knew and lived with my real parents, this was very concerning, and it bothered me more than I cared to admit.I tried not to let it bother me, because I knew it was his choice to tell me about them or not. However, as time passed by, it became impossible to ignore the fact that he purposely changed the topic whenever I asked about his family, and of course, never brought them up on his own.For my part, I was an open book to him, and I always told him about how I didn't know who my parents were, but wished that I did. Naturally, I wanted to know more about the person that I was dating, but whenever I asked, casually at first, then more in

Ashley's POVOn this particular day, two of the thugs came and, as usual, they started to cause trouble. For the first time since these thugs decided to start picking on me, Jeff ignored my warning not to pay any attention to them.He told them off, and as though that was exactly what they had been waiting for, they used that opportunity to take their nuisance a step further and approached him boldly.“And what if we don't stop, big boy? What are you going to do, then?” One of them asked belligerently.My heart began to pound immediately. I hated receiving unwanted attention, especially the troublesome kind. The fact that there were two of them made me uneasy as hell.Jeff ignored him, and this seemed to piss off the guy. He got right into Jeff's face, placed his hand on his chest, and shoved him hard. He and his companion were clearly trying to start a fight, and that was exactly what Jeff gave them.Jeff shoved the guy back even harder, so that he landed square on his butt right the

Ashley's POVThe lady cleared her throat to speak, and tears filled her eyes. “We were just minding our business when he passed by us. I don’t know him or anything about him, but clearly Justin and Dave knew him, because even though they didn’t say anything to him, he stopped them and called them bloody cowards. Even after that, they still ignored him, but he called them little scared boys who had run back to their mummies with their tails tucked between their legs after he dealt with them.So they became angry and insulted him in return. Then he got mad, hit Dave, and began to beat him up, and of course, Dave tried to defend himself, but he wasn't doing a very good job of it. Justin tried to help him, but it was that man who started the whole thing. I wouldn’t have gotten involved, but he had beaten up Dave very badly, and Dave was now lying on the ground, unable to move. I think he broke his jaw and his nose, and also cracked his ribs.” She paused, shuddering as the tears began to s

Ashley’s POVA flashy car was idling and waiting for us outside. Even though the man who held my arm was dressed respectably enough, like someone rich, I still did a double-take when I saw the kind of car these people came in.How on earth could ordinary thugs have the money to drive this sleek and expensive-looking car? I hesitated for the fraction of a second, but the man who had his hand on my arm pulled me more insistently towards the car.Some of my neighbors had gathered outside and were now watching the small scene in fascination. I knew that I would be the subject of juicy gossip for the next few days to come.Since I was so embarrassed for the neighbors to see me in this situation, I lowered my head and allowed the man to lead me towards the car.He opened the passenger door for me, like a true gentleman, and I got in and looked around. It was a spacious car, and it smelled really nice.Still, I had a really uneasy feeling about all of this, and I couldn’t wait to sign the un
