The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Betrayed by a kiss
"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 Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Unexpected Guest
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 Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Broken Vessels
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
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Daddy?
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

She had been at the office, longer than she had planned, but the meeting was crucial as she was preparing to open another branch of her company in Los Angeles. 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. He looked, finally taking notice of her, and welcomed her with a gentle smile."She's asleep?" Jessica wondered, her voice as low as a whisper, pointing towards Avery's room which was down the hall.Ricky nodded, dropping his feet down to the floor and sitting straight. "Yeah. But she tried her best to stay awake for you. Asked me at least three times when you'd be back from work."Jessica closed her eyes tig

“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

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
The Billionaire's Ex-wife is a Fashion Icon Bonnie meets Clyde
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

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 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.

Jessica sat right on the edge of her daughter's bed, watching her prepare her blankets so she could snuggle into them. 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
