My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back CHAPTER 51
“Replace me with Cara!” “No” his reply was cold and calculated. It was just the both of us in his office, just after the meeting had ended and I trailed behind him to his office while every other person dispersed to their various cubicles in hushed silence. He sat on his chair, arms folded and stared at me with an amused expression – I was livid well not exactly livid but something close.“What do you mean no?” I shot at him and he shrugged “This is my company and I’ll appoint whomever I deem fit for any task, you won’t tell me what to do Jessica Peters just because we've had history” he shot back at me with a serious expression on his face“I-m not – I’m just – just pick her instead she’s dying for an opportunity like this” I said instead but Parrish still bore that smirk and now he unfolded his arms and leaned forward on the table.“Do you know how important the banquet dinner is? How prestigious it is? It is graced by the top 1% percent of the corporate world. You have an opportu

“I’m not doing this with you right now Nathan” I looked at him, suddenly feeling exhausted.“Yes you are” he stood up and grabbed my arm the same way Parrish did except there were no butteflies just a slight annoyance that was raking up my body as Shawn pondered me about my job. I knew he was insecure about Parrish and in all honesty, he had every right to be“What the hell am I supposed to do after I quit my job, stay at home and cook dinner for you everyday?”“You could get another job” he said it so easily like he had everything planned out to the T, and he was just letting me know out of due formality and I was in fact supposed to listen to him “There’s an opening at a consulting company I know – ”“No stop” I stopped him before he went any further and he seemed genuinely confused why I wasn’t keen on his idea, well for starters it was ridiculuous“Or a fresh start, what do you think of moving again? Europe? It’ll be good for us after the wedding and we could get a house with a ba

There were voices around me or so I thought, it was probably my imagination, masculine but speaking in hushed tones. I could feel a dull ache festering at one side of my head while I tried to figure out what was happening to me, where was I? Last I remembered, I had gotten into a fight with Nathan and I had stormed out of the house, I was supposed to meet up with Parrish to plan the banquet dinner and – the memory hit me and terror seized me suddenly as I remembered the figure that grabbed me and placed a sweet smelling handkerchief around my nose. I blinked in the darkness, trying to make sense of my surrounding but I couldn’t see a thing. I whimpered in fear and stretched out on the cold cemented floor, trying to get to my feet but my hands were tied in front of me and that was when it dawned on me, someone had kidnapped me – I was in danger.I screamed “Help!” my voice rang in the dead silence that I could hear the echo, my heart beat rose to a frenzy that I feared it might pop ou

PARRISH'S POVIt was eerily quiet when I punched my pin into the security keypad of my company, which seemed a bit weird because Jessica was supposed to be here but still the security system hadn’t been activated yet. A sense of unease settled at the pit of stomach as I stepped further into the silence, trying to sense her but I had walked halfway through and there was still no sign of her, maybe she took a short detour here – *or maybe something happened to her.* I shut the memory away before I could ponder further it, instead I whipped out my phone to call her, it rang for only a short second before it went straight to voicemail.Just then, as if my coincidence, I spotted Cara approaching from the door and walking towards me down the hallway, she had a confused expression on her face mirroring my own expression and she would be in no way to explain the dilemma I was currently going through.I wasn’t sure if she could detect the surprise on my face at her oddness of being here, if sh

PARRISH'S POV“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I pulled away from Cara, my eyes shooting open instantly and sending a death glare her way“Isn’t obvious?” she said, still crowding my space and attempting to go for another kiss but I held her wrist and stood up now“Isnt what obvious?”“That I want you” she finally spat out and silence that followed was loud. Me staring at her with an unbelievable look and she holding my stare with a hopeful look.“Are you out of your mind? I’m your boss” It was surprising that I had to remind her and I felt a deep irritation run through my bones“That fact doesn’t seem to matter when it comes to Jessica” she said and my mouth fell open instantly, suddenly short for words.“What – ”“I see the way you look at her, nothing gets past me in this office boss” she said now, anchoring on the table and throwing my sultry gazes that I found ridiculous, this whole situation was ridiculous and there was only one situation I was worried about – Jessica

PARRISH’S POV“I need to know what’s going on or I’m calling the police” Nathan kept hounding me when I just needed a moment to think. This time I wasted no time in snatching off his cracked iphone from his hands as his fingers hovered over the dial button and I grabbed him by his shirt.“You can’t call the bloody police – you don’t know who these people are and what they deal with, you cannot involve the police. Do you understand the words that are coming out my mouth?”Nathan shoved me away “Why is Jessica is involved in that, what kind of sick shit do you have going on that leads to my girl getting fucking kidnapped” then he scoffed, with me suddenly getting annoyed as the words *my girl* rolled seamlessly off his tongue, no she’s not your girl – she’s supposed to be my girl.“And why shouldn’t I involve the police? You’re scared you’re going to get caught up on it and just maybe you’ll go to jail for the crimes you actually committed” his stare was poisonous and I clenched my fis

JESSICA’S POVIn as much as I wanted to be out of there, I needed to be cautious. I didn’t have the slightest inkling to where I was, or how many people were out there watching guard. I paused for a minute, listening for the sound of any footsteps or the loud whispers of the deep baritone voice of men discussing but only a silent echo returned back. Then I took the sharpest curve right, down a winding corridors with wet floor and a faint flickering bulb. The corridor smelled of damp walls, mold and sweat, anchoring to my nose like a bad odour as I scurried my way out. My heart pounded in my chest as I prayed silently to find a door or anything that will lead me out of this hell hole.I walked briskly but smoothly until I saw what looked like a corrugated gate left slightly ajar and I let out a sigh of relief as I slowly approached the gate with my heart stuffed in my mouth, my breath shallow and the cold wind blowing against the dirty silk top that still clung to my skin. I slipped pa

PARRISH’S POV“I think I’m ready to find my father’s killers – ” she said, the words bounced off my brain as I was unwilling to understand a large part wished I hadn’t heard it but then she added“Would you help me?”My chest tightened with the overwhelming allure of guilt. I looked into her eyes unconsciously, and they were filled with some kind of hope that felt impossible to diminish. Only then did I pull my eyes away, only just properly the weight of her request when somehow the truth was just sitting before her. I shook my head instead and pulled her closer by her hands“How about we make sure you’re okay first” I said instead hoping it will derail her thoughts even if it was just for a little bit.“I’m fine, I – ”“No you’re not, and we’re dropping by the hospital first” I said cutting her short and her instantly went up to her face to touch a gash the struck across one side of her face with with dried blood plastered around it. How could she still look so beautiful even in the

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
My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back CHAPTER 94
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

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
