"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

The morning sun made its way into the Johnson household through the large windows that had been placed at different strategic locations, casting a glow over the family members who had gathered at the breakfast table. The air was still heavy with flashbacks from the previous nights in the minds of Jessica and Ricky, the grandest party where Griselda had finally unveiled herself to the rest of the world. The tension between them was real yet it was unspoken of.Jessica sat in with the family, this time she was quieter than usual, her still fixed on the toast bread on her plate. The previous night had been more draining than she had expected it to be, the entry of Ethan back into her life with Olivia still by his side, unlike the news she had seen online, had brought back memories that she had hoped would remain buried for life.Janet, who was always to break any silent family gathering, took one more sip of her tea before setting the cup down in a manner that would capture everyone's

The entire Johnson household was quiet as the family finished breakfast. Jessica could barely focus on the meal in front of her or the conversation that they were having. Ethan was at the gate, and this ominous presence continued to disturb her while she sat there. She had tried her best to forget about him after what she saw last night, to push him far into the deepest and darkest corners of her mind. And now, he had brought himself to her family's doorstep, without an invitation."Is everything alright, Jess?" Ricky asked with a soft voice that was filled with concern for her. He leaned in closer to her, his hand drawing close to hers on the table.Jessica blinked, coming back to the reality she had tried to avoid, forced to make a fake smile to everyone on the table. "Yeah. I will be."Janet, watching her daughter with narrowed eyes, took a sip of her tea and dropped her cup down gently. "Maybe it's time you settled things with Ethan, dear. I want you to live the fullest life an

Jessica's heart froze immediately as she heard her daughter's tiny voice call out from behind her. Avery, with her brown eyes, stood at the breakfast table, clutching her purple doll to her chest. 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 silence filling Jessica's room was thick as she stared at the number on her phone, her thumb hovering around Ethan's number. She'd been fighting the decision to reach out to him for hours, her mind was tangled in doubt and fear. Yet, somewhere, deep down, she knew the truth was going to out. 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. Just pick a time and a place, I'll be there."

Ethan couldn't help but let out a big smile on his face as he watched his daughter, Avery, dig into her ice cream cone, her eyes firing up with every bite that she took. They were sitting on a bench a few steps away from a small ice cream shop in the city, spending quality time together sd father and daughter. 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." He held up his cone, sniffing it dramatically before taking

The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Jurisdictions
The office was just as sleek and fierce as Lois herself. Polished dark wood filled most of the space, from the shelves that held legal books and tomes to the expensive desk that kept Jessica away from the woman who was there to help her save her daughter. Jessica adjusted the strap of LV purse nervously as walked inside. The air smelled of leather and freshly brewed coffee, and the morning light coming in from the talk windows felt more sterile rather than warm.Lois glanced up from her Lenovo laptop, her glasses perching down on her nose. “Jessica,” she said, standing to give her a welcome hug. Her handshake was firm, her countenance welcoming and soothing. “Thanks for coming just in time. Take a seat. We are going to be discussing a lot today.”Jessica sat across from Lois’s desk stiffly in her chair, the smoothness of the leather gracing her palms as she held onto the armrest. She nodded silently, her throat feeling itchy as Lois began to shuffle a huge of papers.“I know this isn’
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Man Vs Mind
The quiet singing of birds settled over Jessica’s house like a blanket, comforting yet very heavy. She stood at the large window in her living room, holding a coffee mug in both hands. Steam rose into the air in tiny wisps, curling up as the sunlight formed different patterns on the marble floor. It should have been a peaceful moment for her, but her mind would let her be, her thoughts moving between her unexpected visit from Ethan last night and her new relationship with Ricky.The sound of hesitant movement behind her caught her attention. She turned around to see Ricky walking into the living room. His expression was guarded, but he smiled at her. He picked up his mug, though, from the way he took his eyes away from her, it seemed like the drink was just a little excuse to occupy his hands and keep them busy.“Morning,” Jessica said, offering him a small smile in return.“Mor..morning,” he said, clearing his quiet voice. He crossed to the other side of the room, taking a seat on th
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Time's Up
The sound of the doorbell echoed through the Johnson house, pulling Jessica from her thoughts. She glanced at the clock on the kitchen wall to see that it was 8:47 p.m. Too late for casual visitors to stop by. Avery was already tucked in bed, and Ricky had left an hour ago to go get some documents from his apartment.Her stomach began to twist as she walked to the front door to find out who it was since the camera room was far from where she was. She peered through the peephole on the door, she froze when she recognized the face.Ethan.For a moment, Jessica considered not walking back to the kitchen and not answering. Her fingers hovered over the lock for a moment, but the second ring felt more insistent than the first, it destroyed her indecision. She unlocked the door and opened it just enough to lean against the frame, blocking his view of the rest of the house behind her."What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice clipping.Ethan stood on the front porch, his hands buried in

Jessica faced the clock as she quickly hurried down the hallway, the sound of her wedge heels echoing against the floors. "Avery darling, we have to go! We are going to be late again!" she called out to her daughter, trying her best not to sound impatient.From the bedroom door, Avery appeared tightly holding her backpack, her tiny face looking all confused. She pointed at the tall man standing near the door. "Why does he always have to follow us around, mummy?" she asked, her tone showing frustration. "I don't need him watching me all the time, mummy. Please."Jessica crouched down to her daughter's level, smoothing a hand over her little head. "He's here to make sure that you are safe, sweetheart," she explained softly. "You know how we have like an extra seatbelt when we drive or the alarm system at home? It's not because anything's wrong, it's just... important to be ready for such situations."Avery looked at Kyle, the new bodyguard, who stood like a shadow near the front door wi

Ethan sat in his office, letting the weight of the past weeks press on him like an iron blade. The only photo of Avery that he had managed to get from the last time they hung out seemed to mock him as it lay on his desk, her tiny smile frozen in time for him to stare at whenever he wanted. A complete contrast to the storm that he had just unleashed into her life. He pressed his palms on his face, trying to breathe through all the anger and guilt that he was feeling. Jessica's voice from the phone call began to ring in his ear; "Best for Avery? You think dragging our daughter into a custody battle is what is best for her?"His door creaked open, but Ethan didn't look up to see who it was. "Not now, Carla," he said, believing it was his assistant that had walked into his office."Carla? That's new." His father's voice, came into the room steady and authoritative, it sent a chill down Ethan's spine when he recognized who it was.Ethan straightened in his chair as his father, Richard, wal

Jessica slammed the room door behind her, the sound echoing loudly through the quiet house. She barely registered in her mind the glow of the living room lamps or the humming coming from the dishwasher in the kitchen. The tension weighing heavily in her chest grew tighter with every passing second she spent, and she paced right in front of the couch, her heels hitting the hardwood floor.Ricky walked with her inside, setting down his keys on the side table. "Jess, I need you to breathe.""Breathe?" she sneered at him unconsciously, spinning on her heel to face him head-on. "How do you expect me to breathe knowing that the woman who kidnapped my child is somewhere out there?" she asked as her hands flew up in the air. "Goddamnit, she took my child, Ricky! And now she's walking around town like nothing had happened."Ricky ran his left hand through his hair, frustration showing on his face. "I get it. Believe me, I understand. But yelling at me isn't going to solve the problem. Running

The sunlight filled the living room from the windows, casting a glow on Avery's little face, who was curled up and playing with her stuffed bunny. Jessica sat nearby, her laptop on her knees as she typed while her other eye remained on Avery. Though the nightmare of Avery's kidnapping had been solved three days ago, Jessica still carried the weight of it. She glanced at her phone, which sat on the coffee table. Another call from Ethan. The sight made her jaw tighten and her fists squeezed."Mommy?" her daughter's soft voice broke off her thoughts. "Can I get a snack?"Jessica faked a smile, closing her laptop and setting it aside. "Sure, sweetheart. What do you want to have?""Peanut butter and jelly?" Avery asked, her tiny face lighting up as she hoped her mum would agree.Jessica ruffled her daughter's hair and headed straight into the kitchen, grateful that was alive to make requests. There she was, spreading the peanut butter on a slice of bread when her phone buzzed one more

Back at her parent's house, Jessica paced around the living room, her phone fixed tightly against her ears. Ricky stood close by, coordinating with his private investigator on the matter. Janet and Joseph both rested on the couch, worry visible on their faces. Ethan, who had shown up after multiple furious phone calls from Jessica, leaned against the wall, feeling guilty that he had teamed up with Olivia."The police are en route to the location," Jessica said, immediately ending the call. "They just found the house that Olivia is currently hiding in. It's on the outskirts of the city so it might take a while to get there." She threw her phone onto the nearest table by her side, her hands trembling with fear."We need to go," Ricky said with a firm voice, grabbing his jacket as he got to his feet."Wait, Ricky. Leave this for the police." Janet protested, standing up to her feet to reach him. "Jessica, you can't run head-on into a situation like this. What if something happens to you?
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon You Can't See Me
Jessica sat across from Lois, their lawyer, her gaze being distant as she tried to organize the documents that had been spread across the table. The office, with its well-polished furniture and perfectly set up shelves, for some reason, felt very oppressive today. Ricky sat next to Jessica, tapping his pen on the table in front of him while he waited."Jessica." Lois began, finally breaking the silence that engulfed the room. "We need to try to focus on building a case that focuses on Avery's well-being as a child. This kind of case can get ugly quickly, and Ethan's team will most likely play dirty and try to attack the fact that you hid Avery away for years. We need to be ready for that."Jessica folded both of her arms, her facial expression remaining resolute. "Let them. I'll narrate everything to the court so they understand my point of view. Ethan had no right to know about Avery. He didn't care one bit for me and he sure didn't care about the idea of me having a child when he ki
