My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back CHAPTER 30
PARRISH’S POV“You know, I really wish I could permanently move to California instead – ” Celeste was saying to me while we were seated having lunch together but I was barely listening even though I was staring intently at her. I was looking at her, but my thoughts were filled with Jessica. She must’ve left for Florida already, and I couldn’t help but think about her last words to me*I can’t do this with you**Maybe I do need this time away from you.I couldn’t think of anything else, I couldn’t do anything else because everywhere I turned something reminded me of her, and somehow I was sick of it – sick of missing her when in reality, I knew I should be staying away from her. My father’s words rang in my head, I hated that man but somehow he always seemed to slap reality back into me. I have a dark past that I had been trying to escape, to run away from, one that involved Jessica and part of the reason why we can never work out, and Jessica can never find out*How do you think she’

“I don’t give a bloody damn about the weather conditions Captain, I need to get to Florida” I said making sure to include the urgency in my tone and how quickly I need to get to Florida. I couldn’t bear the thoughts of Jessica in the hands of that sleazebag and each passing second I stood there with the phone plastered to ear trying to buttress the urgency of the situation, my anger doubled.I shouldn’t have let her out of sight, I shouldn’t have allowed her on trip. I should’ve told her to stay, that I wanted her stay, that I needed her and now she was in danger – and it’s my entire fault. Of course, the guilt settled in and clouded my senses mixed with a strong feeling of anxiety and trepidation slowly creeping up my stomach and reaching up to grab me by my throat that I almost gasped.“We can find an alternate route that we can take that avoids the worst of the weather – ”“I don’t care Captain, just get me to fucking Florida as quickly as possible, get the jet ready” I said immedi

“Come on, let’s get you out of here” I carried her up, and exited my room while my security was going to hand over Mr. Venzo to the police, I knew it wouldn’t take him long to get out the police but at that moment, I needed him far away from Jessica.“I’m sorry Jessica, I should never have let you leave in the first place” I whispered to her and the moment we got into the backseat of the car, she was all over me in seconds.“I would fucking kill that bastard” I gritted my teeth. Jessica’s had had begun traveling down my chest to get what she wanted but I couldn’t indulge her, not when she was in this state.“Just this once Parrish – don’t you want to continue what your started at the elevator yesterday” her voice was sensual and inviting. My eyes raked over her and I licked my lips slowly, a low growl rumbling in my throat. The gown she wore had began to bunch up to her thighs, exposing her creamy thighs that excited me. Her hair fell about her face and her green eyes gleamed in an lu

*JESSICA’S POV*I woke up in the hazy embrace of an unfamiliar room, my mind groggy and disoriented. My head throbbed as my eyes fluttered open and I fought to make sense of my surrounding. Soft morning sunlight filtered through delicate curtains, casting a warm glow on the soft white painted walls. But as I glanced around, confusion clouded my thoughts, tangling me in a web of uncertainty. I looked at my self and I was clad in a nothing but a loose white shirt that clung to my body, it had a very familiar scent to it and I when I properly came to – it unmistakably smelled of Parrish.How did I end up here, clothed in his scent, in a strange room with no recollection how I got here.I pushed the covers aside, my feet coming in contact with the soft plush carpet that covered the floor. There was a balcony to my right and that was when I noticed a distant silhouette of a man – no not just any man – it was Parrish, and just then like a torrential downpour, the memories came rushing in.M

“He doesn’t have feelings for me – ”“I don’t have feelings for her – ”Ken and I said at the same time but somehow it felt like we were overcompensating. Diana’s deep brown eyes searched mine suspiciously and it confused me because I hadn’t seen both of them in years, since the summer we spent on an island in Europe, but I couldn’t blame her, we all never talked about what happened.The tension seemed to be thickening with every passing second and Parrish stepped in our middle, acting like everything that went down didn’t affect him the most – but that was Parrish, he always wanted to be seen as the Messiah.“Okay, let’s just enjoy the beach now shall we? It’s been years, let’s move on” he said and Diana grabbed Ken’s hands pulling him with her and I moved up to Parrish’s side.“This is going well” Sarcasm dripped from my voice but he pretended not to notice, instead he took my hands and pulled me closer to him.“You know I never really blamed you for what happened then, honestly it

I couldn’t really get into the kiss with Ken, because it didn’t feel like anything. The pretend stars weren’t falling from the sky like sprayed confetti but my eyes had slipped open and I could see Diana, her eyes shooting lasers at us, I nearly smirked into the kiss. I ran my hands over his biceps for her to see only for Ken to even pull me closer to him and I let him because it was even more satisfying to see her face redden with jealousy but it wasn’t long before I felt Ken being pulled away from me and to his feet with a large force and before I could register anything, a hard punch reached his jaw while he staggered to the floor and there was Parrish standing over him with an angry looking on his face.He was going in for another punch when I stopped him.“Stop!” I yelled and this time Diana had reached us and she was charging towards me before Ken had jumped to his feet and stopping her before she got to me.“You fucking love her, why don’t you just admit it?” Diana yelled at Ke

*SOME DRUNKEN YEARS AGOJESSICA'S POVIt was just the day after Parrish had dumped me at his birthday party and a sat on the couch snuggled up in Sophie’s arms as the tears poured out of my eyes. Sophie’s smoothing my hair did little to nothing to calm me down.“You needed to see his face Sophie, he couldn’t even look at me – ” the tears streamed down my face as I recounted the scenario a dozen times in my head.*We’re done“How could he do that to me?” I asked questions that she didn’t have the answer to but she only pulled me closer“He’s not worth it Jess” she counted, her tone was sharp and there was a hint of anger in them and Sophie wasn’t the type to repress her anger, no matter the situation “So basically, his mother was right. He was the type to spiral, you know – sometimes Jess, women can be crazy but there’s always a hint of truth behind all that resentment and anger”I said nothing, I didn’t want to think about him anymore. I sneakily checked my phone and there was a tiny

But relief wasn’t an expression I was willing to express, so instead I attempted to pull my hand away from Parrish’s grip but he only gripped it tighter and his face was set in stone as he looked at me.“Let’s go Jess” he growled and I could barely see his eyes under the dimness of the club light but somehow I could feel the fierce intensity of his gaze on me, I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of giving in so I pulled my hands away forcefully. By this time, Dan had noticed something was wrong and he turned back with a confused expression to find Parrish staring down at him.“Any problem dude?” his voice was calm even though he was returning Parrish’s death stare and subtly so, but Parrish only stayed silent and returning his gaze back to me and I had two options, go with Parrish and hear whatever bullshit he had to say or watch a fight break out in the club – and yes, I was weak so I went with the first option. I threw Dan a quick glance and muttered“I’ll be right back”“Hel

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
