The billionaires heirs Third-person POV Ashley looked around her bedroom, sighing. Her things were packed in brown cardboard boxes sealed with the brown parcel tape she had bought a week before. Her head was still trying to process what had happened the past couple of weeks. The kids are excited to move to Adrian's house, the one they shared when they first got married. Ashley told Adrian after the wedding that if they were to move, they could move back to their old home because she wanted to be near her parents and siblings these final few months. Adrian agreed without hesitation. Ashley wanted one last look at the house where she raised her children. Alone. The house held so many amazing memories and some not-so-nice ones. She was anxious to leave and move here but she knew she had to do it for their children. She didn't know what to do with her medication. Her daily dosage of painkillers was increased and she had been taken off all other medications. They aren't working. Adrian ha
A maid was standing waiting for them at the front of the house. She wore a black dress with sleeves and a white apron. Her clothes were neatly pressed and her gray hair was pinned into a tidy bun on her head.Her smile was warm and inviting. Ashley's feet seemed to speed up at the sight of her."Ashley, welcome home; we have missed you so much." Maureen's arms opened wide and she embraced Ashley in a warm hug. She couldn't help but smile at the woman, who was like a mother to her when she lived here."Thank you, Maureen," she smiled, trying to wiggle out of Maureen's hold."Sorry, hun. Am I squeezing you too hard?" Maureen chuckled lightly, letting go of Ashley. Her eyes roamed her up and down and concern spread across her face.Luckily, Maureen didn't say anything. Her face shifted and her warm smile was back. She looked down at Bella and Ashton, her eyes widening. "Oh, Ashley, they look just like him," she gushed, grabbing the twins in for a hug. They were more than happy to return.
The billionaires heirs Third-person POV Adrian stayed for a while, talking to Ashley lightheartedly but her mind was somewhere else. Her face paled when she looked back at him after he had walked into their room. He had heard Maureen talking about what he had done. Everything she said was true. He trusted Maureen with his life but Ashley's things were all he had left of the love they had once shared."But didn't Tonya move in when you were together?" Ashley asked him. It was something that had been bothering her for a long time. Yes, they should have moved to Greece but she asked Adrian to rather bring them to their old house so that the kids would have a normal life so to speak. She knew this estate would be the best place to raise their children; after all, this is where they both lived happily until that day. She wants her children to be at the place that she once called home. She asked Adrian to rethink moving to another country and said that the kids need stability in their live
"Daddy! Daddy! My room is so cool!" She squealed as Adrian lifted her up in his arms. She wrapped her tiny arms around his neck, giggling as he tickled her under her chin. This is what he has been missing out on. Watching his children grow up all because of those pictures. A scream sounded through the house just after a loud thud.Adrian looked back towards the door and ran out of Ashton's room, still holding Bella, and Ashton was hot on his trail.Maureen's scream sounded again, franticly calling out for Adrian.Adrian felt his heart begin to rise as he reached his room and saw Ashley passed out on the floor and Maureen kneeling beside her, trying to wake her up. He rushes up to Ashley's side and sets Bella down beside him and Ashton comes to stand on his other side."Mommy, wake up." Bella began crying at the sight of her mother lying on the floor."Maureen, call an ambulance and take the kids to the playroom," Adrian instructed, panic evident in his voice. How could this happen?

The Billionaires HeirsAdrian…Everything instantly stopped and went darker when I no longer felt her with me. She could die, and this could be the last time I ever see her. The world didn’t deserve her, and I didn’t deserve her either, but both I and the world, along with our children, needed her. They were still in her room. Somehow I managed to get to the emergency room, but anything after Ashley left my eyesight was a blur. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t hear, and I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t live; all I felt was hurt and fear of the unknown. The pain I was feeling was of the worst kind. The kind that you didn’t know if you said enough, you didn’t know if you loved them the most you could, and you didn’t know if you would ever be able to say everything you wanted to. As I sat down, I felt a hard substance in my pocket and was reminded of what I was going to do before everything happened. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small box. Ashley had been unconscious for two days now
“Come on, son,” she replied, walking away from the room and back into the waiting room. I looked back into the room where Ashley was and my breath came back to my lungs once I saw her vitals normal and the nurses and doctors relaxed since the few seconds I had seen them. I then let my legs follow my mother out to the waiting room, where she was already sitting, along with Jason and Freddie.As I walked into the room, Jason and Freddie looked up at me and immediately stood up, both of them frightened by the news that I was going to deliver.“She is alive,” was all I could give them before I collapsed into the chair next to my mother, emotionally drained and too scared to think of what the future held. “Adrian,” Jason said, making me lift my head up as it was hanging low. I watched as he took something out of his back pocket and handed me a small piece of folded-up paper.“She gave it to me the day before she came to New York. I think she knew and would want you to read it; she told me t
Adrian, my love. I have fully forgiven you for the things that happened in the past. I know this sounds like a goodbye and maybe it is but I want you to know that the last few months I got to spend with you and our children were the best gift I could have ever asked for. If I don't make it out of here alive and I don't get to tell you all these things in person, I want you to know what I was feeling. Please try to find love again. I know it won't be easy to move on from here but the day you do find someone special again, I want you to love her as you will lose her. I know it won't be the same love we used to share but I know it will be even greater because she will be the one who meant your broken heart. I want you to give love another chance after I am gone, because you deserve it.I love you so much, Ad.Your one and onlyAshley.Tears fell onto the paper as I re-read the last few words over and over again. She really did love me and I truly and wholeheartedly loved her with every si
The Billionaires Heirs Third-person POV Ashley's body felt numb. She didn't remember how but she did know she was in the hospital. The handle of the door turned and in walked Doctor Charlene. Her face was solemn and Ashley could already sense what she was about to say."I'm not going to have much longer, am I?" It wasn't a question; it was a statement, and she already knew the answer.Doctor Charlene shook her head. No."Adrian already knows, doesn’t he?" Again, Ashley wasn't asking and Doctor Charlene nodded once again."You can send him in then." Doctor Charlene simply nodded, giving her a half-smile. She understood that she had seen cancer eating Ashley from the inside.Ashley watched as the door opened again. It was Adrian who came rushing in but he closed his eyes as he wasn't ready for what he was about to see. His breathing was uneven, his heart barely beating, his hands shaking uncontrollably, and he could hear his heartbeat in his ear, drowning out all the noise until he he
