All Chapters of My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

My heart pounded in desperation as I raced towards Parrish, and there was desperation fueling my every step. As I reached him, breathless and shaking, our eyes locked in an intensity that spoke volumes. The air crackled with a certain electric anticipation, a magnetic force drawing us closer and pushing towards the edge of the forbidden. Without a word and without a second thought, our lips crashed together in a desperation that sent shockwaves through my entire being. The kiss was fire that blazed, its flames consuming every ounce of rationality and restraint.Parrish’s kiss was delicious, his lips moved against mine with an intensity that resonated deep within me soul. There was the taste of longing at the tip of his tongue, and he gently slipped it into my mouth like a bad decision and I was more than too happy to oblige.“We shouldn’t be doing this.” I breathed into his mouth.“Right.” he echoed back, grabbing my hair gently with one and the other cupping my face as he traced kiss

Apart from the innate curiosity that occupied my brain to know what Parrish had been up to all these years, I couldn’t emphasize enough on the warmth that enveloped me when my eyes met his as I stepped out dressed in this wedding dress. He walked over to me, gently caressing the lace that adorned my shoulder. The touch sent a shiver down my spine and ignited a simmering passion within me and in that moment the world seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of us – lost in a intoxicating haze.“I can’t seem to pull my eyes off you Jessica.” Parrish’s touch lingered in every pose, his hand finding its way to the small of my back or fingertips lightly grazing my cheek, I could feel the chemistry crackling between us, my heart bursting, and my stomach fluttering. We giggled like children and held unto each other a little bit excessively.“Now look at her, like she’s the only person you’ll rather look at.” the photographer said and without hesitation Parrish turned to me, and I looked up

Jessica’s POVThe car ride to the party venue was painfully quiet and Parrish had his jaw fixed the whole time and his eyes set on the road as he drove. I fiddled with my fingernails, my brain racking for something – anything at all to say to ease the tension that was already brewing within us and from my point of view, Parrish wasn’t making any effort at all.“Are you going to say something?” I managed to voice out but I was only met with silence, until some moments later and he said.“Not right now Jessica.”“Fine.” I agreed and soon enough we arrived at the location for his party which was already jam packed with people. There were people jumping in and out of the pool, staggering in and out of the house drunk and confused. I could already spot some couples way too freaky to be in public.The moment Parrish and I got down from the car, he had the largest smile plastered on his face like he wasn’t just upset and brooding. Immediately, everyone rallied around us wishing him happy bir

The hurt lingered, like a dull pain that refused to dissipate alongside with my refusal to believe that Parrish ignoring me was intentional. I stood on that podium trying with everything in me to avoid the blankness in Parrish’s eyes as I delivered my pitch. He looked at me, our eyes jammed countless of times but there was no emotion there and most times he would lean over to Celeste who was seated beside him, whispering in her ears and she’ll giggle with her hands over her mouth. My face heated up with rage and jealousy as I watched them and at the same time tried to stayed focused, and even when I rounded up my pitch, he hadn’t noticed, he was looking at her when he was supposed to be looking at me.I wrapped up the presentation followed by the applause of my colleagues and that was when Celeste looked up at me, indifference in her eyes and she smiled.“Lovely, just lovely – Jessica Peters is it?” she said, her Russian accent flowing smoothly on her tongue and smiling at me like she

PARRISH’S POV“You know, I really wish I could permanently move to California instead – ” Celeste was saying to me while we were seated having lunch together but I was barely listening even though I was staring intently at her. I was looking at her, but my thoughts were filled with Jessica. She must’ve left for Florida already, and I couldn’t help but think about her last words to me*I can’t do this with you**Maybe I do need this time away from you.I couldn’t think of anything else, I couldn’t do anything else because everywhere I turned something reminded me of her, and somehow I was sick of it – sick of missing her when in reality, I knew I should be staying away from her. My father’s words rang in my head, I hated that man but somehow he always seemed to slap reality back into me. I have a dark past that I had been trying to escape, to run away from, one that involved Jessica and part of the reason why we can never work out, and Jessica can never find out*How do you think she’
