The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Mr Stranger
The beautiful rays of the morning sun waltzed right into Jessica’s apartment, majestically taking over the entire space which welcomed it in through the large widows placed strategically in the apartment. She opened her eyes and studied the entire room since it was her first time waking up in her new apartment in Florence, Italy. Jessica stretched lazily in her medium sized bed, taking in the cool breeze that accompanied the sun like a partner in crime. Florence was going to be her haven for the next few years of her life, a place where would start her life all over, away from the memories in Los Angeles. Here, she could make a name for herself in whatever industry she chose and she would do this while raising a child.Jessica glanced at her clock on her bedside table. “Gosh, it’s already 9:30am. What time did I finally get to fall asleep last night?” She wondered, placing her feet into the comfy shoes that had already been placed by the side of her bed.Her antenatal check-up was in

Ethan Mitchell was found on his king-size bed with every limb of his body spread out. He was tangled in the silky sheets that he had imported a few months ago for his comfort, while the remnants of food and drinks from the previous night still clung to his body. As the early morning sun made its way into his bedroom through the heavy curtains he had hung, he squinted his eyes regretting why it was morning already. To his left and right, lay two women without any form of clothing on them but the mess they had created on his bed; empty bottles of wine, glasses covered in lipstick smudges, and the smell of what seemed to be bodily fluids from a hot night.The door to Ethan's bedroom slammed open, forcing everyone to wake up immediately as they jumped to see a woman standing in front of them. It was Ethan's mum, Victoria Mitchell, standing above them and judging each of them with her dark eyes that were filled with disgust. She took a deep breath in, processing what had become of her son

Ethan quickly splashed water on his cold face, the chill sending jolts through his entire body and bringing back the excitement of last night's party. The person he saw in the bathroom mirror as his reflection made him sad because he had become a shadow of his former self. His red eyes from intoxication, his beard unshaven, and the outstanding smell of alcohol that he could wash off his body despite his efforts to scrub it all away before he met with his grandfather.His grandfather's call earlier that morning had been abrupt and shocking, as it left him no chance to give reasons why he wouldn't be able to make it. Ethan deep down knew that this could be the chance he had spent the last five years of his life waiting for but he couldn't show up and look at a person from a ship wreckage. With such little time, there was only some facial magic he could perform so he wouldn't be late. As he buttoned up one of his numerous crisp white shirts, he couldn't help the nervousness he felt as he

Five Years Later- Jessica's POVJessica pulled her vehicle to the front of her daughter's school, her heart melting as she watched the school authorities bring Avery to the gate where she was waiting. The little girl's hair was completely blonde which was shocking for a girl her age, her curls bouncing as she jumped happily upon seeing her mother's car, her face lighting up with a wide grin. Jessica stepped out of her black vehicle, opening her arms as her daughter hurried into them for a big hug."Mama!" Avery called out at the top of her. "You're here.""Of course, sweetheart." Jessica smiled as she planted a kiss on her daughter's face. "So, how was school today?"Avery jumped on her toes, excited to see her mum come pick her up from school. "It was fun! We made art today, Mum. Painting and playing outside before Miss Nina told us a story about the space in the sky." She narrated, her eyes widening as she twisted her body from left to right because of how excited she was."Can

Jessica sat on her beautiful marble desk which was carved out by one of the best marble artists in Italy while she flipped the new Fashion Daily magazine. She had been offered a front-page spot and was finally getting to see it after many months. Her assistant, Genevieve, had just dropped off a lot of mail, but somewhere in the pile, one seemed to stand out to her. It was different from the others, delicate, purple-colored, and had a crest that brought back memories she had finally buried after a while. Her breath stuck in her throat as she realized that the Mitchell family had finally found her out after five years.It was Ethan's grandfather.She quickly scanned through the contents of the letter in her hand, her heartbeat palpitating as she read each word of it. Ethan's mother was coming up soon and her father-in-law was apparently trying to get a custom-made dress for her as a gift. They had requested no other brand than hers, Griselda, to do the job, so this made Jessica know t

"Can you believe that he asked for a DNA test just a few weeks after the baby was born?" Olivia said letting out a sigh, leaning back into the spa chair as her long nails were being punished. She looked at her friend, Harriet, who sat a few inches away from her, completely engrossed in her phone. "I mean, after everything we had been through together I thought we had each other's trust."Harriet finally looked up with a sympathetic face, still not fully part of the conversation. "Men are dogs and they are all the same. You give them your all and they throw it back in your face like it was nothing.""Not all of them, I must say." Faye corrected from another corner of the room. She wiggled her toes happily as the pedicurist finished another layer of coating her nails with polish. "Harriet's boyfriend spoils her but she isn't telling us about it."Harriet let out a smug smile. "Exactly. Stephen knows everything he needs to know about treating a woman right. I'm not out here like the r

"Welcome back to Los Angeles, Jessica Johnson." Ricky teased, bumping his shoulder into hers as they walked through the airport terminal. His voice as usual was playful, but Jessica could sense the underlying romantic tension between themselves as they made their way towards the fleet of black SUVs. Avery, her five-year-old daughter, held her mother's hand as she bounced excitedly at the sight in front of her."Wow, I haven't been home in years," Jessica muttered silently, taking in the familiar sights in the distance. She could feel a rush of various emotions running through her body as they stood together. "Let's hope nothing soils this moment for us.""Hey, we are here now. Let's enjoy it to the fullest." Ricky said to her, showing her his flirty yet reassuring smile. "Besides, you're not alone this time around. I'm here with you and Avery is also here with you. Right, champ?""Yes!" Avery jumped, smacking her tiny hands into Ricky's as she responded to his high-five.Jessica n

"Remember, tonight you're Griselda," Ricky whispered into Jessica's ear, gently holding her arm as led the two beautiful ladies, Avery and Jessica out of their sleek car, stepping into the grand entrance of Ethan's mother's birthday. The huge mansion was decorated with twinkling lights, everywhere buzzing with chatter and laughter from elites of the city of Los Angeles.Jessica adjusted her black-laced mask, her heart racing in her chest with a steady rhythm that matched every step she took. "I know. Ricky," she replied, even though the tension that laced her voice betrayed the calm, outward appearance she was trying to maintain. "No one's going to know it's me.""Mummy, are we going in now to see more people with pretty dresses?" Avery asked, wrapping her fingers around her mother's hand and pulling it slightly.Jessica glanced down and smiled at her little daughter. "Yes, baby girl. It's going to be a big night with mummy and Uncle Ricky."Ricky leaned closer to her, his voice s

FEW WEEKS LATER“You can’t be serious.”Jessica sighed, placing the phone on her other ear. “Dad, I know this looks right, but Avery wants me to be there.”She heard her father’s disapproving silence stretched for a moment before he finally spoke up. “Jessica, this is Ethan’s family we are talking about here. They will use every opportunity to remind you that you lost custody of your daughter. Even though it’s only temporary.”“I know,” she admitted, rubbing her eyes. “But this isn’t about me. It’s about Avery.”“She’s an only child. She doesn’t understand what this is doing to you.”Jessica swallowed the lump in her throat. She understood what her father was talking about. Every moment spent around Ethan, his world, and his family took something away from her, leaving her exposed.But her little girl wanted her to be present. That was all that mattered.A soft knock at her apartment door made her come back to reality. “I have to go, Dad. I’ll call you soon.”She hung up and pulled op

“No, no, no...” Jessica’s voice trembled as she read through the words again, her fingers holding on tightly around the document as if she would squeeze enough and the ruling would change. Her vision began to blur with tears, her entire body going numb from the shock.“Jessica?” Ricky’s voice came but cautious this time around, the argument between them had been forgotten temporarily. She took a step closer, but she shut it down.“Sorry, but I need to be alone.” She whispered, her voice barely audible to him.“What? Jessica what’s going...”“I said I need to be alone, Ricky!” she snapped at him, her grief and frustration boiling over. Without waiting for him to leave, she grabbed a coat from the rack and stormed out of the house, slamming her door behind him. When he was ready he would leave and lock up.The cold night air hit her cheeks harshly as she walked aimlessly down the street. Her mind was a field of chaos. They had finally taken her. They hadn’t finally taken Avery. The cour

“I hope you haven’t come here to waste my time, Ethan. You know I am really busy.”Ethan exhaled sharply, running his right hand down his face as he chose to sit just across from his grandfather in his office in the Mitchell building. The old man’s piercing grey eyes watched Ethan from his mahogany desk, the weight of his grandfather’s expectations pressing on him like a chain, causing him to keep drowning in a river.“I wouldn’t be here if this wasn’t important,” Ethan replied, his voice controlled but tight as he composed himself in front of his grandfather.His grandfather leaned back in his chair, giving his grandson a listening ear. “Then get straight to the point.”Ethan hesitated for a moment before speaking up. “I would like you to meet Avery.”His grandfather’s expression remained the same when he heard that statement, his eyes gave off no sign of emotions in them. “And why would I do that?”Ethan clenched his fists in disbelief that he was hearing a question like this. “Beca

Ricky waited until the door clicked shut behind Ethan before turning around to face Jessica fully. Hisneus, usually filled with charm and warmth, was cold for the first time. He tossed the bouquet of white lilies onto the kitchen counter, the flowers landing with a loud thud.“You’re sure, huh?” Ricky’s voice was low, edged with something darker than jealousy, something very possessive.Jessica crossed her arms, leaning against the door as she steadied her breath. “What exactly are you trying to imply here, Ricky?.Ricky took a step closer, his jaw closing. “I’m not implying anything, Jessica. I’m just asking why was he here?”Jessica exhaled sharply, her patience thinning. “Because he’s Avery’s father. She’s been through enough today with the court hearing, and he wanted to check on her. That’s all.”Ricky’s laugh was bitter, nothing like the easy charm she’d grown used to. “Right. Just like that? No other reason?”She moved to the living room, putting space between them as she picke

Jessica sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the darkened window. The echoes of the courtroom still replayed in her mind. Avery’s eyes ran over with tears, Lois’s sharp words, and Ethan’s fixed gaze on her. She rubbed her eyes together, trying to push it all away, but the ache was relentless, carving deep into her chest.The apartment was painfully quiet, except for the humming coming from the city beyond her window. Avery had fallen asleep hours ago, holding on tightly to her stuffed bunny with a grip that mirrored Jessica’s own desperation. She thought about pouring herself a glass of wine but couldn’t summon the strength to do so. Instead, she sat in the silence, letting it swallow her whole.A soft knock broke through the stillness of the moment, pulling her from her own thoughts. She frowned, glancing at the clock on the wall. It was past eight. Who would be here by a time like this?She walked barefoot to the door and peered through the peephole to see Ethan standing there.

The courtroom emptied, leaving behind an air of tension that seemed to live out with Jessica as she hastily made her way through the heavy double doors. Her heels hit against the cold marble floor, each step echoing the desperation screaming in her heart.Avery’s cries still rang in her ears, fueling the urgency that she felt. She spotted her daughter in the hallway, her tiny body forced against her grandmother’s tight embrace, hiccupping as the leftover tears ran down her eyes. Jessica rushed forward, her voice filled with regret.“Avery,” she whispered, kneeling. “Baby, I’m so sorry. Please don’t cry anymore.”Avery lifted her face ruined by tears, her cheeks red from the continuous crying. “Mummy...mummy, you were yelling? Did daddy do something?”Jessica’s heart clenched when she heard her daughter’s words. “No, no, my love. Not at all. Mummy wasn’t angry at Daddy. I was...I was upset at something that was happening in there.”Avery sniffled, clinging to her mother’s arm this time

The courtroom had fallen into a session of uneasy silence, the kind that pricked against the skin and made breaths seem shallow. Jessica sat on the witness stand, her knuckles white as she held on to its edges. Gregory Welsh adjusted his tie as he saw this, the perfect example of calculated confidence, his every move deliberate as he moved forward.“Ms. Williams,” he began, his voice still smooth but filled with accusation, “You have still given me an answer to my question.” Jessica’s throat tightened. Gregory’s gaze pinned her on her seat like a predator who finally caught its prey. He continued. “Why did you take Ethan’s unborn child abroad, raising her far from her biological father for five years?” Every eye in the courtroom was fixed on her, waiting to hear her answer, the same one that she hadn’t summoned the courage to give. She glanced at her later, Lois, who gave her a steady nod, urging her to remain calm and answer. But Jessica could feel the weight of judgement coming fr
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Low Blow
The court reconvened shortly after the brief recess, the tension in the air was palpable to everyone. The jury made their way back to their seats, their earlier expressions of doubt surrounding Ethan Mitchell still roaming g in the air. Jessica Williams sat beside her lawyer, Lois, who leaned in and spoke in a low tone.“We’ve started well, Jessica,” Lois said, her eyes narrowing with determination in them. “But now’s where the real test begins. Stay calm, answer the questions truthfully, and don’t let his lawyer try to corner you. We already have momentum on our side, let’s keep it up.”Jessica nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. Her heart began to pound heavily as the judge stepped in, announcing that the proceedings should continue. It wasn’t long before that her name was called. “Ms. Williams,” the court clerk called out to her. “Please take the stand.”Jessica rose, her hands trembling as she made her way to the witness stand. She took the oat with a clear and steady voic

The room fell silent as Ethan Mitchell made his way to the witness stand. His steps were steady and calculated, but his face betrayed the unease he felt in his heart as he sat down, adjusted his tie and took the oat that was administered by the bailiff. The jury watched very closely, their expressions remaining neutral but very attentive, ready to weigh every word that proceeded out of his mouth.Lois rose from her seat, her every movement planned and deliberate. Her navy blue suit remained crisp and sharp, her expression calm but determined to bring Ethan down. She approached the stand, her bind in between her hands.“Mr Mitchell,” Lois began, her voice smooth but having a sharp undertone to it. “Thank you for being here today, we all know how busy you are. I want to just ask a very simple question. Can you please tell the court why your marriage to my client, Jessica Williams, came to an end?”Ethan shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his teeth gnashing against each other. “Our marri
