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

AVA'S POV The moment Laura walked out of the dining area, the room grew quiet, but the silence didn’t last long. Everyone’s attention turned to me. I could feel their eyes on me some envious, some whispering to the person beside them. "So Ava is the CEO's wife? OMG! That's so shocking. She's so lucky," a colleague whispered to the next person sitting beside her. I'm not sure how I even heard that since they were whispering but somehow I did. It's one of those strange things about me being able to hear whispers that no one else can. But no, she was wrong. I wasn't lucky at all. I thought I was but the past few months have made me realize I wasn't. Their stares felt heavier than ever, making me want to shrink into my chair. Jason's eyes met mine for a brief moment but I quickly looked away. Wait... was this what he meant by proving he loves me? Announcing our marriage now? It was too late. His words didn’t mean anything to me anymore. Nothing he did could change my mind.

AVA’S POV I ignored him and walked past him with steady steps. Sally stayed right beside me. I could feel his eyes on my back, heavy and intense, but I refused to turn around. A few months ago, I would have hesitated, unsure of how to act around him, afraid of upsetting him. But not anymore. I had accepted things as they were. Jason could stare all he wanted, but I wasn’t going to react the way he expected. As we reached the volleyball area, the sound of laughter and cheering filled the air. The golden sand was warm beneath my feet, and for a moment, the lively atmosphere made me feel lighter. “Ava.” I looked up to see Alex approaching with a relaxed expression and a smile etched on his face. “How are you feeling?” he asked, his voice warm with concern. “Are you okay now?” I tilted my head slightly, surprised by his question. I didn’t remember telling him anything was wrong with me. But then I recalled – at the cocktail party, he had noticed how tense I was, and I had

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. I had hid

JASON'S POV The moment Ava barged into my office, I knew something was wrong. She didn’t knock. She didn’t wait for permission which was so unlike her. She just walked in like she didn’t care about anything or anyone anymore. It had been days since I last heard from her. Since I last saw her. The last time was at Kevin's hotel and after that day she went MIA. Even the last time I spoke to her on the phone, she hung up in my ears. I was worried because she looked… different. Her face was pale like all the blood in her body had been drained, her eyes empty, her shoulders stiff. There was something cold about her and it caused my heart to ache.What happened to her? For a brief second, I thought she had come to apologize to Laura, finally saying the words she should have said days ago. But then she pulled out a paper from her bag and dropped it right in front of me. I frowned and picked it up. One glance at the bold letters at the top, and my heart skipped a beat. "Resign
Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 086
AVA'S POV Jason’s words rang in my ears. My breath caught in my throat, and my fingers tightened around the phone, while the other hand dug deep into the hospital sheets. Owe Laura an apology? For what? I lost my baby. My child was gone forever. And he had the audacity to call me and demand that I apologize to Laura? “Laura almost lost her child because of you, Ava,” he continued, both his voice and his words piercing my soul. “You should do the right thing and apologize to her.” Laura almost lost her child. Almost. But I lost mine. I lost my baby. Why should I be the one to apologize when I did nothing to her? She was the one who bumped into me on the volleyball court and fell. I didn’t touch her, I didn’t push her. I was the one the ball hit hard on the belly, not her. So why should I apologize? And somehow, she was at fault. If she had stuck to her position on the court, maybe all of this could have been avoided. But I didn’t blame her because I knew it was an accid

AVA'S POVI felt a dull throbbing ache in my head as I slowly opened my eyes. My body felt heavy as if I had been asleep for days. The bright lights stung my vision, making me blink a few times before my surroundings became clear – I was at the hospital. The first thing I saw was Alex. He was sitting beside my bed, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands folded together. His face was tense, his eyes dark with worry. He looked like he hadn’t moved for hours. My throat felt dry, and I swallowed hard before speaking. “Alex…” My voice was weak, barely above a whisper. His head snapped up the moment he heard me. He let out a deep breath of relief and his shoulders fell as he leaned closer. “Ava… You’re awake,” he said, his voice filled with emotion. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my stomach, making me wince. “Careful,” Alex said, reaching out to help me. “Don’t push yourself too much.” Before I could say anything else, the door burst open, and Sally came in
Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 084
ALEX'S POV I didn't think. I didn't hesitate. The moment I saw Ava collapse I ran, ignoring the pain still aching from the impact of the ball Jason threw at me. She lay motionless on the ground and my heart stopped. She was pregnant...I knew she was pregnant. And now, with everything that had just happened, I couldn’t stop the fear that gripped me. I was scared for her. I was scared for the baby. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Jason. He had walked right past Ava, leaving her on the ground like she didn’t matter with Laura in his arms. Who does that? Ava was his wife – his wife! And yet, he left her lying there like she was nothing. My jaw clenched. How could he see her on the ground like this and still choose Laura? I couldn’t make sense of it. Ava had told me Jason didn’t know about the baby. But even so, it didn’t explain why he’d left his wife behind, lying on the sand, and rushed to tend to Laura. Even now I wouldn't be surprised if Laura was pretending to be
Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 083
AVA'S POV I walked back to the beach with Alex and Sally after helping Alex with his injury. My heart still felt heavy from what had happened earlier. I knew Jason had deliberately hit the ball so hard towards Alex to hurt him, and I had a feeling it was because of me. That's why I felt responsible for making sure he got treated. But now, as I glanced at Alex beside me, I could see he was still in pain, even though he tried to act fine. “You really should be in bed resting,” I said, frowning at him. “I told you to stay back.” Alex chuckled lightly, shaking his head. “And miss all the fun? Nahhh...I’ll be fine, Ava.” I sighed, knowing there was no point in arguing. He was stubborn, just like Jason. But at least Alex listened sometimes. Jason… Jason only does what he wants, without listening to anyone. The crowd on the beach was still gathered around, some playing, some talking while others were relaxing and enjoying the cool ocean breeze. Alex excused himself and went to joi
Goodbye, Ex-Husband, Next Please CHAPTER 082
JASON'S POV I stood there, frozen, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. Ava my wife had yelled at me in front of everyone – in front of my employees. Not just yelled at me, but looked at me like I was nothing like I had done something unforgivable. And all because of Alex Grey. I could still see it so clearly. The way she rushed to his side, the way she touched him, the way she helped him up like he was the only one that mattered. And worst of all she didn’t even look back at me. How could she tend to another man that way in my presence? I had just revealed to everyone that she was my wife and she does this in front of the same people I just told about our marriage. Lines creased my forehead as anger boiled beneath my skin. The whispers around me were getting louder, but I couldn’t make out the words. I didn’t need to. I knew what they were saying. I gritted my teeth, my jaw tightening. I wanted to shut them all up, to make the
