All Chapters of My Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

It was pretty fast and no, we weren’t going that far. Parrish circled the stony driveway of the Lexington building with so much finesse that was it damn near impossible to miss the flex of his muscle from his rolled up shirtsleeve. It was 8am in the morning Parrish, why are sleeves rolled up? I closed my eyes to push the dirty thoughts away, thoughts of those manly fingers wrapped around my neck with his muscles equally flexing in the process.“Are you okay?” his voice suddenly panned out while he parked his vehicle and I turned to briefly to face him, his sweet eyes – oh bless him! He didn’t know the thoughts that were running through my head about him just innocently sitting there and gripping the stirring wheel that hard. As if by chance, his eyes drifted to my scalded hands that still burned red and while he grabbed them softly, I winced at his touch and I wasn’t sure if the sudden shiver was from the intensity of his touch or the radiating pain that shot up my arm from the burn.

My eyes widened in surprise when Kyle pulled up at a private beach resort. I stared at the wide expanse of land filled with white sand and overlooking the water that shone blue under the scorching sun.“Parrish what – what are we doing here, I don’t even have shoes on”He smiled sweetly and looked at my feet “I mean what’s the best place to be at without shoes on and zero judgement”I held his gaze with a fluttering stomach “Zero judgment? There’s no one here” He chuckled “I rented it a long time ago, I saw it online and I wanted to bring you here”My heart fluttered plus the way his eyes roamed, searching deep for things I wanted to stay hidden but he had his way of fishing them out of me. “Why?”“You love the beach, it’s your favorite place to be” “But it’s barely 10am, who goes to the beach at 10am on a Monday morning?”“Apparently us” he said it so matter of factly that it was difficult to dispute“Come on let’s go” he gestured and I alighted from the car the same time he did an

*Confirmation for Lexington hall has been confirmed – check*Please approve the open bar for the banquet dinner - check*Sent out invites to all eligible corporate companies and their top employees for the occasion – check*Sent out request to the florist and interior décor - check“Jessica, we have more names for more invites. I sent them to your email” Cara called out to me from her cubicle and I threw an absent-minded nod at her. My head was swarmed and I could barely stay focused. It was one thing to multitask but it was an entirely different to multitask while your mind stayed occupied with so many other things – example finding out Nathan had been unfaithful. It had been at least a week since I stumbled on his phone but I had kept my findings to myself. I had pretended everything was and got into bed with him that night, my hair still full of beach sand even as he pulled me close in a snuggle, whispering in my ears*“I’ve missed you pumpkin”I had stayed quiet, not because I had

Everyone stared in on us as Nathan and I stood in a staring match and not taking our eyes off each other, his look more pained and mine more anxious. I wanted to be out of here, away from this party and away from Nathan.“You were cheating before Parrish even came into the picture, so maybe the problem isn’t me”“That didn’t mean anything – it was harmless flirting Jessica” he tried to defend but his defense was weak at best.I shrugged, I was exhausted, truly I was and my shoulders sagged as a result, a dull ache was begginning to develop at one side of my head “That’s fine but it doesn’t change anything Nathan – I can’t do this and that's it”I saw the slow panic rise on his face at the seriousness of my tone “Why now, out of all the times, why did you choose now to embarrass me. Why did you let it get to this stage”“I’m not trying to embarrass you, I just want what’s best for me – for us”Nathan gave a dry laugh, and running his hands through his hair in a frustrated manner “Just

PRESENTPARRISH’S POVThe night of the banquet dinner, it was going to be explosive. I had made sure to adhere to every detail to make this night the best the corporate world in California had seen, but at the same time this was the night I was going to profess my love to Jessica. It was going to be a delicate gesture, after the event was over and I would ask her to dance to me, while I whispered in her ears how much I truly loved her. Even though, the guilt of my dark past nagged at the back of my head I tried to ignore it, she didn’t have to know that, she didn’t have to find out.I was dressed smartly in a crisp suit tailored to perfection and it was perfunctory to stand outside and welcome the guest after their pompous run with the red carpet, the buzz outside was a bit chaotic but I knew why I stood out, I was waiting for her. Jessica was supposed to be here a long time ago to welcome guest with me, but an hour had passed and even two but I hadn’t caught a glimpse of her yet – sh
