Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 072
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

AVA'S POV "You're walking," I interrupted him, my voice icy. "Ava, I..." "Don't you dare," I yelled, stepping closer. "You've been lying this whole time, haven't you?" Jason sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "It's not what you think..." "Then explain it to me!" I cut him off, my voice rising. "The doctor said you were fine, Jason. So why the wheelchair? Why the act?" I could barely look at him as he tried to explain himself. His voice sounded desperate, but I wasn’t interested in hearing any more excuses. “Ava, I didn’t mean to lie about my recovery,” he said, his eyes filled with something I couldn’t quite place guilt maybe. “I just didn’t want you to leave me. I didn’t want you to think I didn’t need you anymore." His words hung in the air, but they didn’t reach me. I couldn’t hear him, not over the pounding in my head. All I could think about was how he had kept me in this house, playing on my feelings, making me care for him when all along, he was perfectly f

AVA’S POV The annual company activity day was here again. It was a day most employees of Campbell Group look forward to. This tradition had been in place long before Jason became the CEO and it was something everyone anticipated every year. Normally, I would have been excited about some days away from the usual hustle and bustle, but not this time. This year, the company was heading to the Sheraton Hotel, one of the biggest hotels in the City. The hotel was famous for its breathtaking ocean views, but what made it more interesting was that it was owned by Kevin. Ever since I walked out of Jason’s house, I’d avoided him as much as I could. At work, I only spoke to him when it was strictly business, and even then, I kept our interactions short. He had tried several times to reach out to me, but I refused to listen. He knew better than to involve Sally, as she would speak to him rudely, even though he was our boss. Laura, of course, was thrilled. I could see it in her smug smi

JASON’S POV My heart skipped a beat when Ava entered the ballroom and our eyes locked. She looked away almost immediately, but I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was looking nothing short of stunning. The way her black dress hugged her body, and the way her hair flowed down her shoulders made everything inside of me tense. My heart raced. She wasn’t just beautiful, she was perfection. It was like she’d stepped out of a dream, and I couldn’t breathe. But there was something else in me too. Something dark. I hated how my chest tightened every time I saw her looking at someone else, laughing with someone else. It was like a constant ache, a reminder of how I’d lost her. I stood there, watching her take it all in, her eyes scanning the room. Then, I saw it. She smiled. But not at me. She looked shocked at first as if she hadn’t expected to see the person here. I followed her gaze, and it wasn’t hard to figure out who she was looking at. It was Alex. I couldn’t stop th

LAURA'S POV I couldn’t stand the way Jason kept his eyes glued to Ava. Every time she laughed with Alex, I could see the jealousy burning in his eyes. His grip on his glass tightened, his jaw clenched. He was trying so hard to hide it, but I saw it all. It was pathetic and annoying at the same time. I was sitting right next to him, but it was like I didn’t even exist. He didn’t even spare me a glance or respond to me. Why does she always get all his attention? Why can't he just forget her? I wanted to yell at him, but I kept it inside. Instead, I turned my gaze to Ava, sitting there so calm, drinking water like she was so perfect. She thought she was better than me, didn’t she? I couldn’t stand it anymore. I leaned in closer, making sure my voice was loud enough for everyone nearby both those standing and the few seated to hear. “Ava, why are you drinking water at a cocktail party?” I asked, my words filled with venom. “Shouldn’t you be drinking something like wine? Or at

AVA'S POV Last night had been one hell of a night. I had avoided Jason all through, I didn’t want anything to ruin my evening, so I focused all my attention on Alex. I didn’t even realize when Jason and Laura slipped away from the party. It didn't matter I told myself it was just one more thing that proved he wasn't going to change and that he didn't deserve a place in our lives, mine and the baby's. Somehow, I was grateful Alex came to the party. His presence was like a balm to my bruised heart. Talking to him made me forget everything that was bothering me, even making me laugh wholeheartedly. I can’t even remember the last time I felt that good. Alex was indeed a perfect gentleman who knew how to treat a lady properly. Sally knocked on the door, snapping me out of my thoughts. “Ava? Are you awake?” I winced from the pain in my head. I didn't know why it hurt so much since I hadn't drunk any alcohol last night. "Yeah, come in." She pushed the door open and stepped ins

AVA'S POV It had only been a minute since I’d passed his room and seen Laura lying on his bed dressed in a seductive nightwear and now here he was, in my room, asleep, as if nothing had happened. I didn’t know what to feel – anger, confusion, or something else. But one thing was for sure: I was pissed. How dare he lie in my bed with his filthy body? I couldn’t take it anymore. My hand moved before I even thought about it, and I slapped him hard across the face. The sound of it echoed through the quiet room, sharp and deafening. Jason shot up in bed, his eyes wide with shock, trying to process what had just happened. The look on his face showed he couldn't believe I could slap him. "Ava… what..." His voice was still heavy with sleep, and he rubbed his cheek where I’d slapped him, looking at me like I was some kind of puzzle he couldn’t figure out. I crossed my arms, trying to keep my cool, but it was hard. I could feel my fist clenching, the anger I felt was boiling inside

LAURA'S POV Jason’s words echoed in my head, each word felt like sharp blades cutting through me. For a second, I thought I’d heard him wrong. But no, the truth was painfully clear. He had just announced his marriage to Ava in front of the entire company. My hands gripped the edge of the table so hard that my knuckles turned white but I forced my face to remain calm, even though anger was building up inside me like a storm. How could he do this to me? Humiliate me like this? Everyone in the company thought I was his secret wife. Now, what would they think of me? A mistress? A desperate woman chasing another woman's husband? My jaw tightened, and my nails dug into the table. The dining area buzzed with whispers and shocked murmurs, but all I could hear was the pounding of my heart.After refusing to touch me last night and even calling Ava's name while drunk, as if that wasn't enough he had to do this to me. Jason stood there, calm and collected like he hadn’t just shattered m

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

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
Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 089
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
Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 088
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. I had hid
