All Chapters of My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back: Chapter 51 - Chapter 57

“Replace me with Cara!” “No” his reply was cold and calculated. It was just the both of us in his office, just after the meeting had ended and I trailed behind him to his office while every other person dispersed to their various cubicles in hushed silence. He sat on his chair, arms folded and stared at me with an amused expression – I was livid well not exactly livid but something close.“What do you mean no?” I shot at him and he shrugged “This is my company and I’ll appoint whomever I deem fit for any task, you won’t tell me what to do Jessica Peters just because we've had history” he shot back at me with a serious expression on his face“I-m not – I’m just – just pick her instead she’s dying for an opportunity like this” I said instead but Parrish still bore that smirk and now he unfolded his arms and leaned forward on the table.“Do you know how important the banquet dinner is? How prestigious it is? It is graced by the top 1% percent of the corporate world. You have an opportu

There were voices around me or so I thought, it was probably my imagination, masculine but speaking in hushed tones. I could feel a dull ache festering at one side of my head while I tried to figure out what was happening to me, where was I? Last I remembered, I had gotten into a fight with Nathan and I had stormed out of the house, I was supposed to meet up with Parrish to plan the banquet dinner and – the memory hit me and terror seized me suddenly as I remembered the figure that grabbed me and placed a sweet smelling handkerchief around my nose. I blinked in the darkness, trying to make sense of my surrounding but I couldn’t see a thing. I whimpered in fear and stretched out on the cold cemented floor, trying to get to my feet but my hands were tied in front of me and that was when it dawned on me, someone had kidnapped me – I was in danger.I screamed “Help!” my voice rang in the dead silence that I could hear the echo, my heart beat rose to a frenzy that I feared it might pop ou

PARRISH'S POV“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I pulled away from Cara, my eyes shooting open instantly and sending a death glare her way“Isn’t obvious?” she said, still crowding my space and attempting to go for another kiss but I held her wrist and stood up now“Isnt what obvious?”“That I want you” she finally spat out and silence that followed was loud. Me staring at her with an unbelievable look and she holding my stare with a hopeful look.“Are you out of your mind? I’m your boss” It was surprising that I had to remind her and I felt a deep irritation run through my bones“That fact doesn’t seem to matter when it comes to Jessica” she said and my mouth fell open instantly, suddenly short for words.“What – ”“I see the way you look at her, nothing gets past me in this office boss” she said now, anchoring on the table and throwing my sultry gazes that I found ridiculous, this whole situation was ridiculous and there was only one situation I was worried about – Jessica

JESSICA’S POVIn as much as I wanted to be out of there, I needed to be cautious. I didn’t have the slightest inkling to where I was, or how many people were out there watching guard. I paused for a minute, listening for the sound of any footsteps or the loud whispers of the deep baritone voice of men discussing but only a silent echo returned back. Then I took the sharpest curve right, down a winding corridors with wet floor and a faint flickering bulb. The corridor smelled of damp walls, mold and sweat, anchoring to my nose like a bad odour as I scurried my way out. My heart pounded in my chest as I prayed silently to find a door or anything that will lead me out of this hell hole.I walked briskly but smoothly until I saw what looked like a corrugated gate left slightly ajar and I let out a sigh of relief as I slowly approached the gate with my heart stuffed in my mouth, my breath shallow and the cold wind blowing against the dirty silk top that still clung to my skin. I slipped pa
