My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back CHAPTER 18
*Present*My eyes shot open with Parrish’s last words to me clouding me head, and when I realized the bed was empty and Nathan didn’t come home last night, I began to panic. I sat up suddenly and running my hands through my already messy hair, I picked up my phone from the bed side table and called Nathan countless time but each time it kept going to voicemail.My heart pounded in fear, I didn’t want to lose Nathan, I didn’t want to throw everything we had away, everything we had built so far. “Nathan pick up please.” I cried into the voice but instead the metallic voice of the receiver screamed back at me.I jumped down from the bed and dressed up for work but firstly I had to see Nathan and I knew the only place he’ll be will be by that time in the morning would be at the law firm so I took a quick uber before I went to work. As I stepped into the grand lobby of the law firm, the polished marble floors reflecting the soft glow of chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling. The air bu

JESSICA’S POVIt was supposed to be just one movie, but I wasn’t ready to face the broken reality that was my life yet. So, I saw another movie and then another movie, then another until my eyes were sore and my head was full with over thinking and longing for the cute and cringey romance movies i had just stuffed myself with. I stared at the screen of the fourth movie I was watching and when I peeked at the digital watch on my wrist, it was way past 9pm, truly time flies when your life was falling apart. I felt broken still, and no amount of sugary and buttery popcorn was going to take the pain of Nathan giving up on me – on us. My eyes started filling up with tears again after the credits started rolling and I realized I had to go back home to an empty house and there won’t be no Nathan seated at the desk in the corner and going through case files.I wiped the tears from my eyes and headed outside where the cool breeze swept through my face and drying my tears. It was freezing in th

I stepped into Parrish’s house and I was immediately engulfed by the sereneness of it all, the neutral colored curtains draping softly to the floor adding to the warm glow that the cream colored walls provided. I took it all in as I walked in, Parrish’s hands placed on the small of my back.“You have a – lovely space.” I said to him.“Pretty small isn’t it?” he said and I shrugged.“I mean for a billionaire – it’s pretty small.” I chuckled walking further into the house and dropping my bag on the table in his dining room while he followed suit behind. He took off his suit jacket and rolled his sleeves to his forearms and revealing some set of muscles that pulsed with each movement he made and I gulped, pulling my eyes away from and concentrating on scrolling through various apps on my phone, I so did not want to look at him.“Do you want something to drink?” he looked at me, his eyes scanning through the mini bar at the corner of the room.“Something strong.” I suggested because that

JESSICA’S POVMy head pounded mercilessly as I opened my eyes, suddenly greeted by the blinding morning light filtering through the unfamiliar room. It took a moment for my blurry vision to adjust, and comprehension slowly tricked in, panic surged through my veins.I sat up suddenly with my eyes roaming around and trying to make sense of my surrounding. I was definitely hangover and the sheer intensity of it made me feel as though a freight train ran straight through my skull. Images of the previous night flickered in fragment and mingling with a haze of alcohol-induced confusion. What the fuck have I done?As I pushed aside the tangled sheets and stumbled towards the door, a wave of mortification washed over me. The memories were tricking in slowly, my mind replaying the embarrassing moments like a cruel movie reel. I had come back with Parrish to his house to look over my presentation slides which we ended up not doing at all, but instead I got insanely drunk and wanted to have sex

My heart pounded in desperation as I raced towards Parrish, and there was desperation fueling my every step. As I reached him, breathless and shaking, our eyes locked in an intensity that spoke volumes. The air crackled with a certain electric anticipation, a magnetic force drawing us closer and pushing towards the edge of the forbidden. Without a word and without a second thought, our lips crashed together in a desperation that sent shockwaves through my entire being. The kiss was fire that blazed, its flames consuming every ounce of rationality and restraint.Parrish’s kiss was delicious, his lips moved against mine with an intensity that resonated deep within me soul. There was the taste of longing at the tip of his tongue, and he gently slipped it into my mouth like a bad decision and I was more than too happy to oblige.“We shouldn’t be doing this.” I breathed into his mouth.“Right.” he echoed back, grabbing my hair gently with one and the other cupping my face as he traced kiss

“Did anyone see me? I said to Parrish as I hurriedly hopped into his car after I made him park a few blocks away from his company because I didn’t want anyone to see me leaving work with him.“I doubt,” he said, “Because suddenly everyone is interested in seeing who you get off work with.”I smacked him playfully, “A lot of busybodies you have as employees sir.”“I don’t care about that.” he said.“Well you should and I don’t want anybody to find out that we’re, well you know – fucking.”Parrish chuckled as we got down from the car together and he walked over to take my hand in his as we walked into yet another fancy restaurant with bright golden chandeliers, waking those damn butterflies that I wanted to stay dormant but I stepped dead in my tracks just at the door of the restaurant and looked up at him.“What’s the matter?” he asked in that husky voice of his.“I mean I don’t want to sit down at another fancy restaurant and just – eat. That’s boring.” in all honesty, I found zero ex

Apart from the innate curiosity that occupied my brain to know what Parrish had been up to all these years, I couldn’t emphasize enough on the warmth that enveloped me when my eyes met his as I stepped out dressed in this wedding dress. He walked over to me, gently caressing the lace that adorned my shoulder. The touch sent a shiver down my spine and ignited a simmering passion within me and in that moment the world seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of us – lost in a intoxicating haze.“I can’t seem to pull my eyes off you Jessica.” Parrish’s touch lingered in every pose, his hand finding its way to the small of my back or fingertips lightly grazing my cheek, I could feel the chemistry crackling between us, my heart bursting, and my stomach fluttering. We giggled like children and held unto each other a little bit excessively.“Now look at her, like she’s the only person you’ll rather look at.” the photographer said and without hesitation Parrish turned to me, and I looked up

Jessica’s POVSome drunken years agoIt was Parrish’s birthday dinner and Parrish had invited me alongside his father and his estranged mother and after that he was throwing a party at some fancy hotel. At this time Parrish and I had been going out for exactly three months and somehow I could feel it in my guts that the honeymoon phase was slowly fading out, but yet I chose to ignore, to push it to the back of my head and not talk about it with Parrish.I was seated at the restaurant dressed in a red fancy dress that I had picked off a boutique even though it was slightly above my budget, Parrish was seated beside me but dressed casually in a black t shirt and some cargo pants with his eyes fixed on his phone, then there was his Mr. Holmes seated opposite us with an empty seat beside him because we were all still waiting for Parrish’s mother. As usual, Mr. Holmes always looked sharp, crisp suit with a bald shining head but seemed to even add more to his mysterious allure.“Nice to mee

The first thing I noticed when I woke was the glaring white of the ceiling tiles above me. My head was pounding, a dull throb that matched the steady beeping of the heart monitor beside me. My left arm felt like it was on fire, the sharp ache traveling all the way up to my shoulder with every shallow breath I took. I turned my head slowly, grimacing at the tug of the IV taped to my hand, and tried to sit up.“Jessica!”The voice startled me. Before I could move any further, someone was by my side, their hands hovering as if afraid to touch me. Blinking against the bright overhead lights, I finally focused on the face leaning over me.Parrish.His dark hair was disheveled, as though he’d run his hands through it a dozen times in frustration. His sharp features looked haggard, the stubble on his jaw more pronounced than usual. His eyes—those piercing, intense eyes—were clouded with an emotion I couldn’t immediately place. Worry? Guilt?I stiffened, the tension in my body making my arm th

PARRISH’S POV“Here’s spider” I called in a dramatic tone and entering the scene right on time from where I had watched it all unfold. My chest still tightened and a surge of anger rush through my veins when I saw Jessica’s hands saely tucked in that guys hold. I didn’t really know who he was but apparently he owned the restaurant Jessica worked in, how convenient was it? Even when I had walked in to the ceremony and seen him pull her protectively to his side, his suddenly meeting mine and smirking at the obvious annoyance that struck across my face. I could smack him, fly to him with my fist itching to push his proud jaw but I managed to hold myself back. I knew why I was here and it wasn’t for a bloody fundraiser, I wasn’t even invited but this was the only chance I had to save her – the love of my life from what Mr. Venza and my father were planning.How did I find out? It was an easy sunny day and I had decided it was a good day to finally accept my father’s invitation to the gold

The bell tower chimed, cold breeze blew and my exposed skin swelled with goosebumps. I tried to find any point of escape but from the looks of it there was no way I was going to outrun any of these hard looking men without either getting gunned down, or getting grabbed immediately because I wasn’t covering any reasonable distance in these heels. Why did I choose to wear these length on a day that I knew that my life was most likely going to be in danger. I knew it, I called it, I senses it but still I was the most unprepared for it. But another note, what could I have done to prevent it?‘Maybe stay at home’ a tiny voice sliced through my ears and I rolled my eyes at my own thoughts. What if whoever it was came to find me at home and I was home alone with no one to protect me, no one but my fragile self who couldn’t even kill a roach.“What’s going on?” I manage to croak out to Matteo who even seemed as confused as myself, but he pushed me conveniently behind me and he stood tall to f

The second rose weighed heavily on my mind while I sat numbly in the cab home. As soon as I stepped inside my apartment, I placed it next to the bouquet from the previous morning. The fresh bloom stood out starkly against the older flowers, both beautiful and unsettling. Why did I bring it home with me? I wasn’t sure but somehow it felt like a puzzle itching to be solved, it felt like someone was baiting me, setting an obvious trap and hoping that I was stupid enough to fall.I sat at my kitchen table with both notes laid out in front of me. The first note, with its chilling message—"Don't think I've forgotten about you, Miss Jessica Peters"—and the second, more elegant but equally cryptic—"See you at the fundraiser."The handwriting on the first note was more refined, with graceful loops and flourishes, while the second note was plain, almost hurried. Despite their differences, both notes carried a similar weight, a sense of being watched, of someone out there knowing more about my l

Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you Miss Jessica Peters.The words seemed to echo in the silent room as I read the words over and over again in my head, trying to fix the invisible dots together. Who could have sent this? I turned the card over a few times and when no clue was forthcoming to my brain, I took the bouquet inside and I dropped it on the counter in the kitchen.The next day, I got ready for work, slipping on a pencil gown and tying my hair up in the sleekest ponytail my hands could do, a little red lipstick and a dab of sultry perfume adorning my neck and wrist. Walking into the restaurant that morning, it was still quiet and devoid of patrons giving us time to put everything together and prepare for the day. The familiar scent of rich sauces and freshly baked bread reached my nostrils as I made my way to the kitchen.But as I moved through the kitchen, I felt the tension immediately. There was Matteo, at the counter, reviewing a file and I paused. What was he doing here
My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back CHAPTER 92
JESSICA’S POVThe cold night’s air felt like a splash of cold water on my face, the street light cast long shadows on the pavement where we stood and it created a cinematic glow that only heightened the gravity of the vengeful kiss I shared with Matteo.I reached up, my fingers trembling slightly as I touched Matteo’s face, drawing him closer to me. His lips were soft and surprisingly gentle when they met mine. At first, it was slow – tender and a careful dance of sweetness that contrasted sharply with the whirlwind of conflicting emotions that I was feeling at the moment. But the tenderness didn’t last – the kiss deepened. Matteo’s hands sliding around my waist, pulling me dangerously close. The sweetness gave way to growing hunger, a wild intensity that made my heart race and my breath catch in my throat, although the fire that burned inside of him probably stemming from lust and desire, but mine burned from a place of anger and revenge.His kiss was no longer gentle; it was fervent

JESSICA’S POV“It didn’t mean anything Jess – I swear” Parrish was saying to me but I was barely looking at him even though I allowed his words to diffuse through me – instead of sadness or any sort of mushy emotions I was seething with anger.“I was drunk – lost – confused and I was grieving – and I – I – I just needed someone to talk to”“You could’ve talked to me!” I yelled at him “I was right there – begging you to talk to me, begging you to see me but you got into your car and went to fuck my best friend”“No it’s not – it’s not like that. It wasn’t that easy, I didn’t want to hurt you anymore and – ”I scoffed this time, interrupting his words “That’s all you ever do Parrish – hurt me and hurt me over and over again”“You were not supposed to find out this way” Parrish said with a sullen expression. His face was drawn with guilt and I could see his eyes sag with exhaustion.“It doesn’t change the fact that it happened” I said back “You slept with her, you fucked her while I was
My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back CHAPTER 90
SOME DRUNKEN YEARS AGOPARRISH’S POVI remember how it felt – the days leading from Jessica father’s death. I had been so ridden with guilt that I could barely look her in the eye.“Nothing good is going to come out from you still seeing her – end it now” my father had said to me but it was easier for him to say when he didn’t understand the circumstances surrounding it. She was carrying my child – a fact that I never told my father. How could I just leave her?I knew I was pulling away when she needed me to from but subconsciously and consciously too, but in a fucked up way I wanted her to hate me and break up with me. But everything started falling apart when she woke up in the middle of night with blood pooling between her legs. I had jumped up in a fright, silently praying that it wasn’t more serious. But when the doctor had spewed the words ‘miscarriage’ – I felt liberated.It felt like there was nothing else tying me to her and it’ll be easier to let go but still – I couldn’t. I

PARRISH’S POV“Oh damn” I exclaimed as I peeked at my watch to find out I had drowned myself in work way too long this time, it was crawling late into the night but I was still seated at my desk pushing myself into files that didn’t need my attention at all. But it was the only way to keep her out of my mind – damn it was even harder to say her name. I fucked, I knew I had fucked up but I never thought she’d find out what happened all those years ago. When Sophie had called me with panic in her voice and all teary, I knew that it was over – I was going to lose her for good. When she texted that we were done, I figured that it’d be for the better. I had done so many things to hurt her, so many unexplainable things that were unforgivable. So I figured, maybe we weren’t meant to be, maybe I was just a passing figure in her life that was created to hurt her and that thought alone nearly drove me over the edge of insanity. But that was what I did – I let her go.I glanced at my phone for w
