Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Loss
Eduardo’s POV Squeezing my eyes open, I took in the unfamiliar sight of the large monochrome room and it's antiseptic smell.Only then did something register in my head; I was in a hospital.Looking to my left, I saw a beeping machine as well as an IV stand, and to my right, a middle-aged woman who was dabbing at her eyes with a tissue as she conversed with a woman whose back was facing me.The middle-aged woman was the first one to notice me and she screeched as she rushed to my side. “Oh my goodness, you are finally awake. How are you feeling?”My brows furrowed in confusion as I racked my brain, trying to decipher who the woman was.The other woman, a tall blonde, gazed at me tentatively. “Why are you looking at us like that? Don't you know who we are?”“In all honesty, I don't,” I whispered. “Who are you?”Falling to the floor in a fit of tears, the middle-aged wailed as she looked at me then shook her head in pity.“Please calm down, ma,” The blonde told her. “I will go and get
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Heartbroken
Jocelyn’s POV “Mr Hathaway of New Bloom Insurance wants me to set up a lunch meeting between you two,” Amelia's voice wafted into my ear as I reviewed some documents. “Apparently, he wants to get your investment in his new start-up.”“Tell him that I'm not interested,” I said. “Next.”Turning off her iPad, Amelia gave me a pointed look. “Pardon me for asking you this, ma'am. But are you even listening to me?”“Of course, I am,” I replied. “What sort of a ridiculous question is that?”“You are still thinking about Eduardo Lopez, aren't you?” Amelia sighed. “I noticed how spaced out you were throughout today's meeting but I decided against bringing it to your attention.”Placing my head in my hands, I inhaled sharply. “I'm going crazy, Amelia. I don't know what to do. Nothing even makes sense anymore.”Untucking a chair from my desk, Amelia sat in front of me. “Did something happen?”“Amelia, Eduardo has amnesia,” I said, feeling choked up with unshed tears. “He can't remember anyone o

Eduardo’s POV I have to attend to an important issue right now,” Mum said, as she grabbed her purse. “So I will have to leave you with Olivia. Sofia should be back any time from now.”“Alright.” I replied.“Bye, gangan,” Olivia waved cheerfully at her.“I will see you soon, dearest,” Mum said, pressing a kiss to her forehead.And with that, she exited the room, leaving Olivia and I to wallow in the awkward silence.A week had passed since I regained consciousness. Within that period, I had found out little to nothing about myself.Mum and Sofia would change the topic whenever I asked either of them for any information about myself other than my name.Yesterday, I met Olivia for the first time, and I had been shockingly drawn to her, just like I had been enamored by Jocelyn.For some reasons, my heart yearned for Jocelyn to pay me another visit.Ever since the day I saw her, I could barely get her out of my mind, and I found it utterly confusing, given what mum and Sofia had told me a
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Relocation
Jocelyn’s POV “I got it,” I said, removing the last of mine and Henry's luggage from Nancy's car booth.We were currently at the airport where Henry and I would catch a direct flight to Australia, leaving everything and everyone behind.A week had passed since I went to give Eduardo the flash drive, in hopes that watching our sweet moments together would help him regain his memories.However, I was yet to receive a feedback from either him or the nurse.Three days ago when I went to visit him, I wasn't allowed to see him. When I asked the nurse about his condition, they told me that he was still the same.Which meant either Agnes or Sofia had found the flash drive and had disposed it.Now, I knew there was no hope anymore.I could already envision Agnes and Sofia taking Eduardo faraway and further poisoning his mind. It hurt me so much that I could barely do anything to help.The whole thing felt like a nightmare that I desperately wanted to wake up from.“You are really doing this,
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Reunited again
Eduardo’s POV My heart hammered against my chest as Rafael brought the car to a stop in front of the parking lot.I wasted no time in hopping out of the car. “Good luck, sir,” Rafael said, handing me the car keys. “There's something I need to take care of at the company.”Slapping his back, I said. “Okay, thank you so much, Rafael.” “You are welcome, sir.” He said, before leaving.Inhaling sharply, I gazed at the large expanse of the airport before going in.“Flight 127b will start boarding in thirty minutes. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that we may have caused.” The flight announcement came from the speaker.That was Jocelyn's flight, a voice in my head supplied as I looked around, desperately searching for Jocelyn and Henry.Although I was slightly relieved that I still had time to find her, the fact that she was still not answering her calls made my heart race with several thoughts.What if she had decided to board an earlier, last-minute flight?Sighing heavily,
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Dinner date
Jocelyn’s POV “I don't like that man but he makes you happy so I have no choice but to,” Nancy muttered, as I cinched my bracelet around my wrist.“Thank you for considering my happiness, Nancy.” I said, to which she shrugged.“You are welcome, Josie.” Running my hands down my hips, I stared at my reflection, wondering if my dress wasn't too tawdry for a date.It was a red figure-hugging dress with thin straps for arms and a short frill at the knee where it stopped.“You look good by the way,” Nancy said. “I hope you have fun.”“I hope so too,” I said, my heart slamming against my chest in anxiety. “This reminds me so much of our first date. I had been so anxious that I had nearly stood him up.”“Really?” Nancy asked, as we both walked out of my room.“Yes,” I replied. “Back then, I was a one-eyed outcast who couldn't believe a perfect man like Eduardo was in love with me.”“Aw,” Nancy mused. “Now I can't even be mad at him anymore seeing how in love you seem whenever you speak abou

Our tongues danced sensually in each other's mouth as our clothes bodies humped, initiating the artful process of lovemaking.Pushing the door open, Eduardo flicked the lights on. Moaning into his mouth, I sort for his erection which was poking my hip, further intensifying the heat of lust simmering within me.“You are gorgeous,’’ He whispered into the kiss. “Fuck, I can't wait to be inside you.”“W-Why are you waiting then?” I asked, throwing my
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Spending time together
Eduardo’s POV “Hi, Eduardo,” Ivy's voice came from the other end as I placed three bottles of wine on the table.“Hey, how are you doing?” I asked, assessing the wine bottled and pondering which was the best choice to gift Jocelyn out of the three.Last night, I was stunned when I got a text message from Jocelyn, detailing how she intended on telling Henry who I truly was. And ever since then, I had been nervous.But in a good way.I highly looked forward to being the best father that could ever be to Henry. I had missed out on five whole years and I knew I probably had big shoes to fill and I intended on doing the best I possibly could for my son.“I'm fine,” Ivy said. “By the way, your whole amnesia period was crazy. Thank goodness I didn't find out about it until everything was over. I would have lost my mind, genuinely.”Chuckling, I returned two bottles of wine to the fridge. “Looking back, it seems funny but at that period, it really wasn't. I had no idea who I was or who I lov

Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Sick
Jocelyn’s POV I winced as the back of my head tightened with an excruciating ache, stifling the urge to groan in pain.“The sales memo and the quarterly report were thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by me yesterday, so everything should be perfect,” The team leader of sales department, Micheal Gould, said into the microphone, aggravating my migraine.“Okay, that's good.’ I forced myself to say, balling my hands into fists and placing it on my lap.I couldn't help but wonder why I had such a bad headache that afternoon, as the voices in the conference room blurred, and the sound of my heart thumping filled my ears.My mouth was hot, my lips numb, and my body warm as the ache intensified.I had woken up hale and hearty today, excited for the start of a new work week, and mine and Eduardo's impending dinner that was supposed to happen later today.But given how I seemed to have fallen ill all of a sudden, I knew the dinner would likely not happen anymore.The mere thought of it was beyo
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Meeting the parents
Eduardo’s POV “It's been less than a year since I left yet it feels like a decade has passed,” Jocelyn said, one hand out of the window and her eyes squeezed shut as the wind tousled her long, auburn hair.Even though she couldn't see it, I darted her a smirk before turning my attention to the road.We were currently in Australia for the week, as Henry and Olivia were currently on summer break.Jocelyn and I had decided to take them to Australia, mainly because we wanted to expose Olivia to the country and stuff.Due to the sick plan Nancy had pulled, she had been unable to spend time in Australia with her mother and sibling.Although that was in the past now, I couldn't help but feel vitriolic anger toward both Nancy and Sofia whenever I thought about it.But as Jocelyn had told me the other day, focusing on the bad things that happened in the past instead of being pleased and grateful with one's current situation, wasn't the right thing to do.I had Jocelyn and my wonderful childre
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Birthday

We promised to focus on the positive part, didn't we?” I chided myself, using the back of my hand to wipe off my tears.Just then, the bathroom door creaked and Eduardo walked out.“Babe, what time are we picking up the cake? Ivy s-” He began to say but stopped when he sighted me.Sighing, he closed the di
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Gratitude
Jocelyn’s POV “Ivy, you know I will never judge you, right?” I asked her.“Yes, I know. Where's this coming from?” She replied with a question of her own which made me huff.“Cut it out, Ivy. It's been three weeks since you told me about whatever happened between you and Brian at the wedding,” I said, and she sighed. “Ever since then, you have been seemingly avoiding coming over to our place. What is going on, Ivy?”There was silence for a couple of moments that I almost thought Ivy had hung up on him.As I removed my phone to check if the call was still ongoing, she sighed again. “I will tell you everything in due time, Josie. It's kinda a serious matter.”“Are you pregnant and he's refusing to accept it?” I blurted out the first question that came to mind.“No, of course not,” She replied, sounding amused. “We had sex that night.”“Oh,” I said, suddenly at a loss for words.I mean, it was very evident, given the sexual tension between them that something like that may or may not ha
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Sports day
Jocelyn’s POV “Is everyone ready?” I asked Amelia as I swiped my lipgloss across my lower lip.“Yes, ma'am,” She replied. “Alright then. Let's be on our way,” I replied, stowing the lipgloss away into my drawer. “This meeting has to end in thirty minutes. Forty five max.”“Oh, are you going somewhere, Miss?”“Yes. Today is Sports day at the kindergarten and my children will not forgive me if I fail to show up,” I divulged. “I already missed their final practice last week because I had to close the Braxton deal.”“Perhaps we should just postpone today's meeting then.” Amelia suggested, and I shook my head in negation.“No, we can't do that. I have been postponing this meeting for three months now,” I replied. “I want to get it done and over with. Plus work starts at the sight in about a week from now.”The meeting was to discuss my latest area of investment; the wine industry.I had taken an interest in the industry after I mistakenly made a bottle of grape wine. On the day, Henry a

Some crackers or dates perhaps.”“No, it's fine. Thanks again.” He replied, before pouring himself a cup of tea.After spending two splendid weeks in Chile, Jocelyn and I were finally back to America.About a week ago, Brian also finalized his relocation to America.Today was saturday, which meant the three of us were free from work, so we had time to just lounge and talk about everything.Currently, we were sitting on the balcony and having tea and snacks.As Ivy was on duty at work today, she couldn't join us. But according to Jocelyn who she texted some hours ago, she would join us if she managed to get off work early.“So, how's America treating you, friend?” I asked Brian as he placed his cup on the table.“Surprisingly nice,” He replied. “I've managed to finalized a lot of deals in a week.

Jocelyn's POV “As my lady pleases,” Eduardo said, before placing me on the floor. Arousal pooled within me, mixing up with my blood and flowing through my veins as Eduardo knelt in front of me, his arms hooked around my waist and his lips pressed to my navel. Instinctively wrapping my hands around his head, I threw my head back in pleasure even though Eduardo was yet to touch me. The pure, undiluted sensation of his skin on mine was enough to send me tipping over the edge. Repressing the urge to have a premature orgasm, I fluttered my eyes open and looked into his, melting at how sexy his lust-addled grey eyes looked. Pressing another kiss to my navel, Eduardo ran his hands from my ass cheeks to my back down and rested on my ass before he stood up, lifted me bridal style and pressed a kiss to my forehead. Thereafter, he placed me on the bed, intense arousal glinting across his grey eyes as he withdrew from the kiss to plant a kiss on my boobs. Looking into my eyes, he moved do
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Honeymoon
Eduardo’s POV “Are you really still not going to tell me where we are headed?” Jocelyn whined, as we headed into the hangar, where we were to board my private jet to our honeymoon location.Ivy and the kids had come to see us off minutes earlier and were probably on their way home now.“You really don't want this to be a surprise,” I huffed. “Guess where we are going.”“France?” She said, tone set between a question and an utterance.“You suck at playing the guess game,” I teased her, and she hit my bicep. “Okay, I'm sorry.”“Tell me already, Ed.” Jocelyn whined again, and I sighed.“We are going to Chile.” I replied, to which she gasped, hands clasped over her mouth.“You are joking.” She whispered, and my heart cut as I couldn't make out her expression at that moment.Fuck, what if I had chosen the wrong place?I had opted for Chile because some time ago, Jocelyn told me that she'd like to go on a vacation there one day, and since we had gone to all her dream countries, I had picke
Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me Wedding night
Jocelyn’s POV “Bye, Jocelyn. Bye, Eduardo,” Ivy waved as my husband and I entered the car. “We will see you soon.”“Alright, thanks. Don't forget to call us right away if the kids are too much to handle.” I said, to which she scoffed.“Come on, Josie. I can look after my babies very well, so don't think about anything and just focus on having fun.” She said, winking, which made me blush.“Bye, Ivy.” Eduardo said, cinching his seatbelt. “We will be sure to take your word and have a lot of fun.”Thereafter, he drove off and I watched Ivy wave after our moving car, through the sideview mirror.“My beautiful wife,” Eduardo said, taking his eyes off the road to look at me and take my hand in his free one. “I still can't believe that you are mine even though we exchanged rings a couple of hours ago.”“Are you drunk?” I asked.“Do I look drink?”“No,” I replied. “You are just cheesier than usual.” I teased him, and he chuckled before pressing a kiss to the back of my hand.“But honestly spe
