The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Dinner Time
The Johnson family began to arrive at the Mitchell mansion and were welcomed by y2yttthe golden hue of the sun as it began to set on the building in front of them. Jessica, sitting with both hands crossed at the back of her father’s G-wagon, could feel the ominous sensation in the air as they arrived. She wished she could be as calm and poised as her parents were while their feet echoed on the marble floor as they walked in to where Mr and Mrs Mitchell stood to welcome them.“Welcome, Joe. It has been too long.” Mr Mitchell greeted, shaking the hands of his long time friend.“It has. I was so happy when I got the invitation.” Joseph lied, trying his best to not act angry at what his son had done to his daughter. They needed this night to go well so Jessica could leave the country without any hiccups.“We’re so sorry about everything. That’s why we decided to invite you and your family over, when we heard the news.” Mrs Mitchell walked over to hug Janet, squeezing her in her arms like

Jessica stood at the airport terminal, her heart beating in her chest as her parents stood by her in the midst of the active individuals who were either returning or traveling to their destinations. Her father, Joseph Johnson, held her on her suitcase, a part of him unwilling to let her go. Her mother, Janet, kept fussing about the coat she had picked out to wear for this trip. The chilly in the airport sipped into the terminal from the automatic doors that had placed been at different locations. “So are you ready? Italy will be a great start for you, Jess.” Janet said, smoothing the invisible creases on Jessica’s coat. Jessica let out a smile, though her heart was heavy with this decision to move to Italy. It was supposed to be an escape for her, the fresh start that she needed for her life. Five years in a loveless marriage where she was never recognized was enough to make her want to take retreat.“Yes, mum. I know and I’ll ensure that you both are able to visit as soon as possib

“Benevento, signora Jessica.” The driver at the airport terminal greeted her with a smile on his face as he got her suitcase and put them in his vehicle. His sleek black uniform and cap shone brightly against the beautiful morning sky in Italy. “Ahh, my bad. I am your Carlo, your personal driver in the city of Florence.”“Grazie” Jessica answered, remembering the word she had learned during her flight to Italy. It was still shaky but she had put in a lot of effort to practice for this new phase of her life. The long flight to Italy had been exhausting and draining but the beautiful landscape in the city of Italy took it all away as she watched her spirits begin lifted.“Long flight?” Carlo asked with another smile on his face because he recognized the tired look on her face. It was the same with the numerous passengers he worked with everyday outside the airport.“Yes, Carlo. Very long if I must say.” Jessica said, still taking the wonderful structures in front of her in the city of

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

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
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Two Lips
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
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Hey, Kiddo
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
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon War's Looming
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 Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Bail Time
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
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Home Coming
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
