She was still dressed in her pajamas, an innocent expression on her face as she was completely unaware of the grief between her mother and the tall, muscular man standing next to her.Ethan's eyes moved from Jessica to the little girl who had just run into the room, his brows narrowing in total confusion. He opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't find the words. His gaze shaking as he tried to process everything that was unfolding in front of him."Mummy?" Avery asked again, still wondering why her mother had been raising her voice.Jessica quickly crouched down to her daughter's level, her back against Ethan so he wouldn't get a good look at her face. "Everything's fine, my love. Do you mind going back to your room to play? I'll be with you soon."But Avery wasn't hearing anything she

The longer she continued to keep Avery away from him, the worse it was going to be when it finally occurred.Taking one deep breath, she hit the call button on her phone. The line rang immediately, causing her heart to pound in her chest with each second that passed. Finally, she heard his familiar voice pick up the phone."Jessica?" Ethan's voice called out, bracing himself for whatever she had to say to him."Hey, Ethan.." she began, swallowing a huge lump of fear in her throat. "I need us to talk and it has to be somewhere private."There was a pause on the other side of the call, and then his voice returned. "This is all I've wanted, Jess.

For the first time, he was looking at his daughter and having her by his side since she was born five years ago."Do you always order strawberries?" he asked curiously as she tried to get to know more about her, noticing the ice cream smudge on her chin.Avery nodded with much enthusiasm, licking her cone to show him how much she liked it. "Uh-huh! Strawberries are my favorite." She looked up at him, meeting his curious gaze. "Mum says I should always be polite, so what's your favorite flavor?""I'm more of a chocolate person," Ethan replied, smiling from ear to ear. "I like mine extra dark, just like this right here."

Still, she felt some guilt knowing that her daughter must have waited for her the whole day.She walked gently down the hallway, passing the large living room where she spotted Ricky, his feet were on the coffee table, the soft glow from the lamp casting its shadows across the room.

“Jessica, the next LA expansion for the company is going very well.” Mark, her new project manager began, his voice strong and confident. “Good, but let’s try to focus on our brand’s consistency no matter what.” Jessica responded, shaking her head as she encouraged the team. “We can’t let our LA branch feel left out from our core values and mission.”“Right.,” Lisa chimed in, a new member to the team. “I’ve created a list of potential influencers that can help solidify our online presence. This is one of the smartest way for reaching out to the LA crowd.”Jessica let out a big smile, preparing to reply, when the glass door of her office suddenly swung open, and she froze in her seat. Ethan stood there, hair scattered and visibly drunk, leaning heavily on the door frame so he wouldn’t fall to the ground. His eyes were red, and the smell of alcohol reeked from his body.“Ethan?” Jessica’s voice returned to her, feeling surprised and shocked, while the various members of her teams excha

After a long, especially with her ex-husband, Ethan's unexpected visit to her office, this was what she considered a peaceful moment.Avery's room was a girly mix of pinks and some purples here and there, decorated with fairy lights that glittered all day, some stuffed animals on the bed, and a shelf that contained all her favorite books that she loved to read before going to bed. Jessica stretched out her hand to pull the covers to her daughter's chin, smiling at her as she prepared Avery for bed."Mommy, will you tell that story where the princess gets to build her castle?" Avery asked politely, her eyes still sparkling with excitement.Jessica laughed softly. This story had gradually bec

Jessica sighed deeply as she walked right into the door, the weight of the previous week still heavy on her shoulder. Ethan's visit to her office had just found its way back to her mind, and the more she tried to let of it, the more she found herself haunted by the thought. Returning to work would always give her a temporary place to escape from everything, but every moment since she found her office, has always been one that brought her the same unease.She placed her Gucci bag on the countertop and walked into the kitchen, hoping to get something to eat and retire to bed without much conversation. But Ricky was already staring at her from across the room, his eyes narrowed in on her, and concern filled in his eyes."Hey," he said quietly, trying not to startle to her. "Long day?"Jessica hugged him, managing to reply with a smile on her face as she let go immediately. "Ueaj, something like that."Ricky watched, his gaze searching her entire countenance.

The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Winter Wonderland
Jessica buttoned her little girl's thick coat and adjusted the scarf on her neck, the frosty air coming through their breaths as they stepped out into the noisy and bustling streets in their car. The sidewalk was packed with snow, festive lights adored the windows of every shop they could see. It had been months since had given herself time to relax, and Avery's excitement was just too contagious."Mommy, please can we go to the toy store first?" Avery begged her gloves hand pulling on Jessica's coat.Jessica smiled, blowing away a strand of hair from her face. "We're for clothes, Avery. But I promise, if we finish early, then we can go look at toys that you like."Avery's face lit up with excitement, and she skipped along beside her mother as they entered a chic boutique filled with winter wear for the season. Jessica let her daughter wander ahead of her, her eyes glowing as she saw the colorful display while she inspected the racks of coats.Her phone buzzed in her pocket, pulling a

Jessica leaned back on the cream coloured sofa in her parent’s living room, the envelope that she had received from Ethan’s lawyers lying on the coffee table untouched. The legal notice couldn’t feel more heavier than this, it was like a boulder had been dropped on her thoughts.Her mother, Janet, sipped on her ice tea, her eyes fixed on the document. “Hmm, custody battle?” she repeated to herself, her voice barely audible to others.Jessica nodded, her hands folded together. “So Ethan really wants Avery, Or at least, Olivia has gone and poisoned his mind. I’m sure she has her hands behind all of this.”Her father, Joseph, leaned closer, the look on his face very stern. “This man has no right to do this. After being absent for many years, Jessica. How dare he! When you’ve been the one raising Avery, alone. This is just absurd.”“I know.” Jessica said, her voice cracking as she spoke. “But after many years of knowing Ethan, I’m sure he is going to try to do everything that he can

Jessica gently unfastened her daughter’s coat, her hands shaking slightly as her thoughts continued to cause chaos in her mind. The boutique encounter with Olivia had thrown her off balance more than she wanted to admit.“Mommy, can I have my hot chocolate now?” Avery asked, her voice cutting through Jessica’s clouded mind.Jessica managed to smile at her, brushing back the strand of hair on Avery’s face. “Of course, sweetheart. But first, go wash your hands and I’ll go in and make it extra sweet for you.”As Avery skipped towards the direction of the bathroom, Jess exhaled for a moment, her chest tightening up.Ricky stepped into the room, his sharp blue-coloured suit, which was wrinkled from a long day of work. “You’re late.” He said with a playful tone before he noticed the look on her face. “What’s wrong?”Jessica hesitated, glancing towards the bathroom to make sure that Avery would be unable to hear anything. “You wouldn’t believe that I ran into Olivia today.”Ricky’s jaw dropp
