AVA’S POV

I turned in the direction of the voice just in time to see my father-in-law, Richard, walking up to us with a concerned expression.

He was wearing designer glasses and a floral shirt. He had clearly just gotten back from the island getaway he posted on his Instagram page where he had likely been cavorting with women.

A typical playboy or should I say playman who refuses to outgrow his frivolous lifestyle even in his fifties.

Like father, like son.

The difference was that Jason enjoyed keeping both a wife and a mistress, while his widowed father didn’t want to remarry and preferred the company of multiple women without strings attached.

Laura immediately wiped away her fake pout and switched to full damsel-in-distress mode bursting into tears. “Dad,” she said softly, her voice trembling ever so slightly.

“Jason hasn’t been taking care of me at all. I’ve been feeling unwell for days, and he just…” She paused, glancing at Jason like a wounded bird.

My stomach churned at her w

    AVA'S POV My breath ceased and my heart sank. Why did we happen to bump into her? I almost didn't dare to meet Jason's gaze, afraid that the doctor might blurt out something more that would be disastrous with no remedy, I spoke first. “ Doctor, yes he's my husband,” I continued, a bitter laugh escaping my lips, “But we’re getting a divorce soon. And he didn’t come because of me, he came here for a prenatal checkup with another woman. Laura, that's her name, she's the major reason why we'd be divorcing soon.” The words tasted like ash in my mouth. I know I shouldn't be telling the doctor who was practically a stranger about my personal life but I needed her to know why she shouldn't mention the reason I came to the hospital. Jason’s face paled, and his mouth opened, but no words came out. I could see him struggling to hold onto his composure, but it was too late. The truth was already out. “I didn’t specifically come with Laura,” Jason said quickly, almost defensively. “But you

    AVA’S POVThe following day, I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau in a cab because my car had suddenly developed a fault. I stepped out and glanced at the building. The sight of the building felt like a confirmation of what I’d been preparing myself for a painful but necessary step toward reclaiming my life. My hands clutched my bag tightly as I took a deep breath, steadying my nerves. Sally had been kind enough to wish me good luck through a text. Little did she know, there was no luck in divorcing someone who had once been your entire world. Leaning against the wall, I checked my wristwatch for the third time in five minutes. Jason was late. Again. I wasn't surprised, but still, it annoyed me. I felt my frustration growing as the minutes ticked by, and still he was nowhere in sight. Where the hell are you Jason? I didn’t want to dwell on his habit of keeping me waiting, it only reminded me of all the times I had waited for him in the past few months. For his attention,

    AVA’S POV I slowly opened my eyes in an unfamiliar environment. The bright light above made my head throb, and I blinked, trying to focus. My heart raced as memories from the accident came rushing back. Jason… He had stepped in front of the car to save me. I tried to sit up, but my body ached, and I noticed an IV in my arm. I was in a hospital bed. The nurse standing beside me smiled softly. “Miss, you're awake,” she said, her voice calm. Noticing the look of worry on my face, she said "You’re safe, and so is your baby. There's no need to be worried.” I blinked, the words slowly sinking in. My baby… and I was okay. But Jason… My eyes filled with tears as I remember Jason lying in a pool of his own blood. "What about the man? I'm sure he was brought here with me. How is he, nurse?" I asked in a quiet voice, laced with fear.I prayed silently that nothing serious had happened to Jason because I didn't think I could live with myself if it had.The nurse’s smile faded a little

    LAURA'S POV The moment Grandpa’s angry words left his lips, my chest tightened, but I forced my face to remain calm. I could feel his eyes boring into me as he asked again, “Laura, didn't you hear me? How did you know about this? Who told you?” I swallowed hard, trying to look upset and worried instead of guilty. My hand tightened around Jason’s limp one, the sight of him hooked to those machines made my heart race. Not with worry for him – but for myself. If Grandpa finds out that I was the reason his favorite grandson is lying here unconscious – I'm finished. He might not have reacted when I left him in Jason's office struggling to get his pills but when it comes to Jason Grandpa would bury me ten feet deep. I lowered my gaze, pretending to be hurt by his tone. “I… I just wanted to see him,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “When I heard about the accident, I couldn’t stay away. Jason means so much to me…” Grandpa’s glare didn’t soften and I knew he wasn’t buying it. “I as

    AVA’S POV It had been three days since the accident, and Jason was still unconscious. Every moment felt like it lasted forever. Even the driver who had caused the accident still hadn't been found. I sat by Jason's bed, my fingers shaking as I touched the back of his hand. It felt cold, lifeless – so different from the Jason I knew. The beeping of the machines filled the room, reminding me how close I came to losing him. To losing the father of my unborn child. Guilt pressed down on me. The accident kept replaying in my mind, no matter how hard I tried to forget it. If it wasn’t for me… if I hadn’t stormed out of the civil affairs bureau, Jason wouldn’t be lying lifeless here now. I lowered my head, and tears came before I could stop them. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, my voice so quiet. “I’m so, so sorry, Jason.” As tears fell down my face, I felt a soft touch on my head. I froze in surprise, then looked up slowly. Jason’s eyes were open, still blurry but clearly awake. His

    AVA’S POV For a moment I couldn't breathe. It was like everything around me had frozen. Welcome home! Was she… was she staying in Jason’s Villa now? I could feel my hands gripping the wheelchair tighter. My chest tightened as the thought took over my mind. So, he couldn't even wait for us to fully divorce before bringing her in. I wasn't angry I had already come to terms with the fact that Laura would always be involved in Jason's life. I was just disappointed. But Jason’s voice broke through my racing thoughts. “What are you doing here, Laura?” His tone wasn’t warm or welcoming, just tired. I blinked, surprised. He didn’t sound like someone who had invited her. Laura’s well-rehearsed smile didn’t falter as she stepped aside, holding the door open for us. “I heard you insisted on being discharged today,” she said smoothly. “I thought I’d come and help. I even cooked for you.” Help? Cook? What a good Samaritan she was pretending to be!"Besides, how did she know he in

    JASON'S POV The room felt suffocated like all the air had been sucked out. My chest tightened as I looked at Laura. She stood there, arms crossed, with a bitter smile on her face. I couldn't believe she could ask me to choose between her and Ava. As much as I care for her, I couldn't choose her over Ava. I had even purposely asked to be discharged from the hospital so that I could create an opportunity for Ava to come back home with me using the excuse that she needed to take care of me because I almost died saving her. It's not that I blame her for the accident, I would willingly risk my life to save her over and over again. I just needed her close to me again and wanted to make her change her mind about divorcing me. And now Laura was asking me to make a choice? It should be very obvious to her who I would choose but that's Laura for you always gambling chances. Since she was the one who suggested I make a choice she shouldn't be pissed with the choice I'd be making and

    AVA'S POV It had been a week since Jason was discharged from the hospital, yet he still relied on the wheelchair. The doctor had made it clear that nothing was wrong with his legs anymore. But Jason continued to act as if he couldn’t walk. At first, I wanted to believe there was a valid reason for his behavior that maybe he still couldn't feel his legs, but as the days went by, doubt began to creep in. What if this was just a game and he was pretending to make me stay here with him longer? I couldn’t sit by and let him lie to me any longer. I had to know the truth so I devised a plan. Early that morning, I walked into the kitchen where Nina, a newly hired maid who had started working for Jason after I left him to stay with Sally, was preparing breakfast. Jason was still fast asleep in his room. “Nina,” I said softly, keeping my tone casual and low – not that Jason would be able to hear me from his room though. “Yes, ma’am?” she answered, turning away from the sink to face

    JASON’S POV The words hit me like a brick to the chest. Ava lost her child because of me? I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. My whole body went cold, my mind blank. Ava was pregnant. She was pregnant with our child… and I didn’t know. I stood there, frozen, staring at Alex, then at Ava. My heart pounded so hard it hurt. This couldn’t be real. Maybe I was dreaming. Maybe this was some kind of twisted nightmare. But it wasn’t. I looked at Ava, waiting for her to deny it. Waiting for her to tell me Alex was lying, that this was some kind of sick joke. But she didn’t. She just sat there, her face pale, her eyes filled with so much pain that it crushed me. Her cheeks streaked with tears, her lips pressed together as if she was holding back a sob. My stomach twisted. I felt sick. “Ava…” My voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper. “Is it true?” Ava didn’t answer right away. She just inhaled shakily, her arms tightening around herself like she was trying to hold

    ALEX'S POV Jason’s words made my blood boil. I had been standing there, trying to stay calm, trying to hold myself back, but the way he was blaming Ava like she was the villain in all this was too much. Laura was the one who had started this. Laura was the one who grabbed Ava first, who pushed and poked until she got the reaction she wanted. But Jason couldn’t see that. He was too blind, too caught up in whatever web of lies Laura had spun around him. And now, after everything Ava had been through, he was here, pointing fingers at her. I clenched my fists tightly my fingers digging deep into my palm. How could he not see it? How could he not realize what was happening? Laura played the victim so well. She cried she acted helpless, and Jason fell for it every time. Meanwhile, Ava...who had already lost so much was standing here, trying to hold herself together while Jason tore her down. It made me sick. It made me furious. I just couldn't stand it anymore. Jason was

  • Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please   CHAPTER 094

    JASON'S POV I stormed down the hallway, my blood boiling. I couldn’t believe what just happened. Couldn’t believe that Ava had pulled Laura into the pool with her. Laura was pregnant. Pregnant. And Ava still had the heart to do such. I shoved the guest room door open without knocking. Ava was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a towel, her wet hair sticking to her face. Alex stood near her, his arms crossed like he was ready to play hero again. Kevin had dragged Sally out the second I walked in. “What the hell is wrong with you, Ava?” My voice came out sharp, cutting through the tense air. “Laura is pregnant, and you still had to drag her into your mess?” Ava lifted her head slowly, her expression one of surprise. Then, she let out a cold laugh. “My mess?” “Yes, your mess!” I snapped. “You couldn’t just walk away, could you? You had to make a scene like you always do.” Her eyes darkened. “You weren’t there, Jason. You didn’t hear what she said to me.” “I don’t care wha

    AVA'S POVThe moment my body hit the water, everything became a blur. Cold. That was the first thing I felt. The shock of it stole the breath from my lungs, and for a second, I couldn’t move. My dress became heavy, dragging me down, and my arms flailed as I fought to stay afloat. I could hear muffled shouting above me, but the water swallowed the sound, making everything feel distant. Then strong arms wrapped around me. I was being pulled upward, my head breaking the surface. I gasped, sucking in the air like I had been drowning for hours. Water dripped from my hair into my eyes, blurring my vision, but I didn’t need to see to know who had saved me. “Got you,” Alex’s voice was close, his grip firm as he pulled me toward the edge of the pool. At the same time, I heard another splash. Through my dazed state, I realized Jason had jumped in, too. But he wasn’t reaching for me. He was pulling Laura out. Of course. Alex lifted me effortlessly, guiding me to the pool’s ed

    AVA'S POV My whole body froze, my fingers clenched so tight around my drink that I thought the glass might shatter. I had told myself I was prepared to see them again someday. But not tonight. Not when Kevin had promised me they wouldn’t be here. Sally noticed them at the same time I did. “What the..." she started, her voice rising in anger. She turned to me, her eyes flashing. “Ava, I swear, I will drag that woman out of here myself.” She was already moving, ready to storm toward Laura, but I caught her arm. “Sally, no,” I said, my voice low but firm. She snapped her head toward me. “Ava, don’t do this. You know I won’t let her stay here. She has no right to be here when she wasn't even invited by Kevin." I swallowed, my throat dry as sandpaper. My whole body was shaking with rage, but I tightened my grip on Sally’s arm. “You promised me,” I reminded her, my voice barely above a whisper. Sally’s jaw clenched, and for a moment, she looked like she might ignore me. B

    AVA'S POV Kevin’s birthday party felt like the last place I should be. I didn’t want to go. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor, my hands gripping the fabric of my dress. My stomach twisted, a sick feeling rising inside me. The thought of being around people, smiling, pretending everything was fine it felt impossible. Because everything was not fine. I had lost my baby. And I knew who took it from me. Laura. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to push the image of her away, but I couldn’t. Her smirk, her mocking voice, the way she looked at me like she had won… it haunted me every night. She knew what she had done, and she was proud of it. I had told Sally everything. Every single thing after I came back from Jason’s house that day in tears. “She killed my baby,” I whispered, breaking down in her arms. Sally had been furious. She wanted to go after Laura, to tear her apart. But I grabbed her wrist, shaking my head. “No, Sally,” I said firmly, wiping my tears with

    LAURA'S POV I watched the door slam shut behind Ava. The moment she was gone, a slow smile spread across my face. She looked completely broken when she left. She came in thinking she could just take her stupid documents and go, but no. She walked out with something heavy crushing her heart. And I was the one who put it there. I could still see her face in my mind, so pale, so shocked, like she was about to fall. Her hands were shaking, her voice was weak, and she was crying like a baby. Good. That was what she deserved. I had waited too long for this moment. I had spent too much time watching her act as if she belonged in my world like she had a right to be with Jason. She took a lot from me… she took Jason, my position at the company, the life I was supposed to live. But now? I took something from her. Something she could never get back. Her baby. And the best part? She knew I did it. She knew, but she could do nothing about it. Why? Because there was no evidence. It was

    AVA’S POV I felt all the blood drain from my body and I felt like jelly as my bones weakened. The room tilted, and it felt like the ground beneath me was being ripped away. My chest tightened, and my breath caught in my throat. What was she saying? She made me lose my child to teach me a lesson? Who does that? I had left Jason for her... I had even served him divorce papers which she somehow knew of so why then did she have to kill my baby? Why...my baby? Tears stung in my eyes threatening to spill. "You…” I couldn’t finish the sentence. I couldn’t even form the words. It felt like a large lump had stuck to my throat making it impossible for me to speak. “Oh yes,” Laura continued, her voice getting colder. “I made sure that ball hit your stomach." She took a step closer, her smile widening with every word. “You should’ve known better than to get in my way.” "So that was the consequence of your action...your baby had to pay the price for you. I am kind-hearted am I not? A

    AVA’S POVIt had been days since I walked out of Jason’s office. Now, I stood outside his house, staring at the door, my stomach twisting into knots. I shouldn't be here, I know. I didn’t even want to be here. I had sworn never to come back.But I had no choice.When I packed my things after finding out Jason could walk and was pretending, I was pissed and left in such a hurry that I forgot to take along some important documents – designs I had worked on for weeks.They weren’t just replaceable papers so I couldn't abandon them. I needed them. That was the only reason I was standing here, forcing myself to take a deep breath and ring the doorbell.Still, I hesitated.Going back inside felt like reopening a wound that hadn’t even started to heal. The memories of Jason, of everything we had, of everything I lost they were all waiting for me behind that door.I would have asked Sally to help me get the documents instead of coming myself but only I knew where exactly they were.
