Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex Stay away from us
Helen's POV"So," Lucy said. "What are you going to do now?"I had just finished narrating how I had seen Fernando again that day, and how the sight of him had dampened my mood.Lucy was currently out of town, so I had to settle for calling her because I was desperate to share the latest development with her.And yes, I couldn't wait until she got back.The anxiety rippling through me in vicious waves was bound to make me crazy if I kept everything to myself until I could contact Lucy physically."I'm resigning, what else?" I scoffed. "I can't believe I've been surviving on his money indirectly after making a pact with myself that I was never gonna need his stupid money."The thought caused anger to boil within me as I tightened my grip on Ethan's small hand.We were currently at the mall shopping for groceries and a super mario game set for Ethan."That aunty Lulu?" He asked, eyes glistening with childlike innocence."Yes, baby," I found myself grinning from ear to ear, despite the i
Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex Resignation
Fernando's POVAs I knotted my tie, a knock came on the door."Is that you, Clara?" I asked, as if I was expecting someone else"It's Clara, sir," The person affirmed. "I wanted to tell you that breakfast is ready.""Okay, I will be done in a few." I said.Afterward, I heard the sound of her feet padding away.Clara was a middle-aged woman who I had hired as my private chef upon my arrival in Australia.The penthouse I had bought to reside in throughout my stay in Australia wasn't as large as my mansion in New York, although it was quite spacious.It had four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, a private gym, a TV room, and three kitchens.I hadn't hired a maid or a butler because I wanted to navigate life on my own.Mother had spoiled me too much since I was born; I had been too accustomed to having people at my beck and call all the time.It was time I knew how to figure stuff out on my own.But because I didn't have the slightest idea of how cooking worked, I had hired Clara.F
Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex Misfortune
Helen's POV"Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm here to tender my resignation letter." I said, outstretching the envelope containing the said letter.Fernando steered his gaze from my face to the letter, without collecting it, causing me to bristle with irritation."How's Ethan doing?" He suddenly asked, to which I scoffed."My son's life is none of your business, Fernando," I said. "I don't see why you're asking me that question like we're close friends when we're not." I spat, sidling past him to place the envelope on his desk."Helen, please let's sort this out. There's no use bearing grudges toward each other forever. Let's iron out this issue with maturity." His husky baritone came out in a rumble, as he grabbed my arm."Let go of me," I glared at him."Oh," He said, withdrawing his hand from my arm. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that."Ignoring his apology, I folded my arms across my chest and chortled mirthlessly."You want us to resolve this issue with maturity, huh?" I scoffed
Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex What’s wrong?
Fernando's POVI watched the confusion on Helen's face morph into trepidation as she began shuddering, even though the heater was on.Had something happened to Ethan?I had heard her ask the person on the other end of the line that same question before panic engulfed her."Oh, God," She whispered, fear conspicuous in her voice. "I-I'll be there soon." She stammered, before ending the call."Is everything alright with Ethan?" I asked, and she darted me look that was set in between hesitation and fear.I knew then that my suspicions were right; something had happened to the boy."I-I need to go now," She uttered, and dashed out of my office. I trailed behind her, ignoring the way people stared at me."Stop following me. I can handle myself." She yelled, as we both walked past the doors of the company."You are clearly not in the right condition to drive. Please let me give you a ride." I offered, watching her unlock her car."I don't need your help," She snapped, as she got in. "Just l
Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex He needs a surgery
Helen's POV"Oh, babe," Lucy cried as she pulled me into a bear hug. "I'm so glad that you're finally here."I could only weep harder as I buried my head into the crook of her shoulder.My entire body convulsed with dread as millions of scary thoughts raced through my mind, with the most prominent one being the thought of losing my son.I couldn't even imagine what I would do with myself if that happened.Although I hadn't expected him, Ethan had given my life a whole new meaning.He was the only reason I existed and got out of bed everyday.I was too far up in my head envisioning horrendous images that I didn't even realize that I had started hyperventilating until Lucy's voice rang in my ears."You're having a panic attack," She said, gripping my arms. "You have to stay strong for Ethan, alright?""Y-Yeah, I know," I nodded, still trembling slightly.Lucy regarded me for some minutes, worry tinged with pity evident in her eyes before looping her arms around me again."Let's go in,"
Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex Devastated
Helen's POV "The doctor will see you now," A smartly-dressed young nurse said and promptly took her leave before I could utter a word.My heart jubbered in my ribs in anxiety as I shakily stood up from the bench."You are worrying again," Lucy uttered, taking my hand into hers. "Everything will be fine, my friend. I'm sure of it."In response, I managed to dart her a lopsided smile as we walked down the hallway to the doctor's office.Two days had passed since Ethan was admitted in the hospital and diagnosed with aplastic anemia.And in those two days, I had only eaten and taken my bath once, and even the food had been a slice of bread and a bottle of soda, nothing more.In all honesty, Lucy had forced me to perform both tasks because she knew that if she hadn't, I would have remained glued to Ethan's bedside checking on him every second.I had also not gone to work in two days nor had I called in to take a sick leave.It was then I remembered that I had tendered my resignation lette
Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex Let me help you
Fernando's POV "What's up, Roman?" I asked. "How are you doing? How's everything over there?""I'm alright and everything's good. How are you?" He inquired. "Have you managed to sort things out with my sister in law yet?"Scrubbing my face with my hand, I replied. "I'm just here. And by the way, she's not your sister in law anymore, Roman. Did you forget everything that happened?"My brother scoffed. "Of course, I didn't. I have an inkling that she will become my sister in law again very soon."I suppressed the urge to smile and only shook my head, while inwardly hoping that happened soon.But I knew the probability of a snail winning a marathon was far higher than Helen ever marrying me again.Hell, three days had passed since she resigned and rushed out of my office.Although I really wanted to visit Ethan at the hospital to at least know if what was wrong with him was serious, I held back from doing so, because I didn't want to worsen the already sour relationship between Helen an
Goodbye, My Despicable Billionaire Ex I don’t need your help
Helen's POV The moment I saw Fernando, my eyes widened theatrically into the size of saucers.I opened my mouth to utter a word but nothing but air came out."Helen?" He uttered, shock tinging his voice.Fuck. I thought, as I fiddled with my fingers.Why the hell was the deity never on my side?Why did I have to encounter Fernando at the damn club?Now, he was definitely not going to back down until he found out what I truly needed money for.Earlier that day when I had gotten an email stating that I had gotten the female bartender job, I had been so elated and relieved that I wouldn't have to bump into Fernando and be asked baseless questions.I guess I had forgotten that nothing in my life never went the way I wanted it to.And based on the way he had spoken earlier that day, it seemed like he was beginning to have some suspicions about Ethan's paternity.Calmly, I wiped my hand on my apron and spread my lips in a smile."Good evening, sir. What would you like to order?" I asked ag
