All Chapters of Winning My Angry Ex Back: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Ashley’s POVFor several minutes after I woke up, I didn't move. In fact, I didn't even open my eyes. I just lay there in bed, feeling warm, so comfortable, and acutely aware of the steady rise and fall of Jeff's chest beneath my cheek.The memory of the previous night slowly flitted through my mind as I lay there, content. I couldn't get over the way Jeff had held me like he didn't want to let me go.As this thought flitted across my mind, my eyes fluttered open and landed on the digital clock in the room. It was already dawn.Jeff’s arm was draped around my waist, and my head rested on his warm chest. In fact, I could hear his slow and steady heartbeat.I didn’t get up or move. For a moment, I let myself enjoy the moment and pretended, just for a moment, that it was real.I let myself pretend that I wasn’t Jeff’s employee, and neither was I the woman whom he cheated on and forgot about because of another woman years ago.I also pretended that I wasn't the woman who had once sworn th

Ashley’s POVJeff got up and strutted towards me until he was in front of me and looking down at me. It took all the willpower I had in me to resist delivering a resounding slap to his smug face.For several moments, neither of us said anything. I stared back directly at him, whereas before I would have caved and looked away. Something akin to admiration flashed in his eyes when I stood my ground without flinching.Finally, he sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm sorry, Ashley. I shouldn't have said all of that. The last thing I want is to make the work environment toxic for either of us. I had already sworn not to mention the past any longer before now, but something about the way you left without a goodbye just triggered me. I won't mention it again, I promise," he apologized.The apology didn’t appease me in the slightest. He was the one who opened the can of worms, and now I was sufficiently mad that I was not about to let him close it without saying what was on my mi

Ashley’s POVNeither Jeff nor I moved. The knock came again, firmer and louder this time around. When we didn’t answer, the door opened slightly, and one of Jeff's workers poked his head in."Sir, we need you in conference room B. The investors are asking for you," the man said.Jeff didn't break eye contact with me as he replied to the man, “I’ll be there. Just give me five minutes,""I'm sorry, sir, but they’ve been waiting for quite a while already, so I don’t think it’s good to make them wait any longer. We didn't want to disturb you until we had to do that," the man said again. I remained silent, thanking my stars for this timely interruption.A muscle ticked in Jeff's jaw as he realized that he had no choice but to end this conversation right now. His gaze was fixed on me the whole time, while I pretended not to notice.“Fine, I'm coming,” he said at last.The door closed as the man retreated, and I looked up at Jeff again to find him still watching me with that penetrating gaze

Ashley’s POVI knew Will's schedule for Mondays like the back of my palm. Ever since he opened his new company ... the one he had gotten pissed at me for refusing to join, he always worked late every Monday.He would hold board meetings trying to strategize on how to quickly get to the level of Jeff's company and even overtake it.Now that we were no longer together, I could clearly see him for what he was. He was obsessed with Jeff and being better than Jeff, which was why he was very pissed that I preferred working for Jeff.He stayed late at the office every Monday, long after every other employee had gone home, and then after that, he went for drinks with his friends.So I knew that he wouldn't be home until at least nine, or maybe even later, which was perfect for what I wanted to do.Not long after, I got to his compound. The gates opened smoothly when I punched in the code, which meant that he hadn’t changed them yet.Well, that was good. As for me, I intended to change my lock

Ashley’s POVI wasn't that surprised or hurt, per se. It wasn’t the first time that Janet had acted irrationally after falling in love with a man, after all. It was sort of her modus operandi.It was such a pity that this time around, however, the man in question had involved both of us in his crap, and now she was determined to hate me for it.In the past, when she got herself into a situation like this, I had always been the one to pull her out of it, but now, I was smack in the middle of it.“So you're just going to continue staying here?" I asked her, but I already knew the answer."Yes, I am. It’s very big and very nice, and besides, it’s my boyfriend’s house.”“Boyfriend???” I exclaimed.“Yeah, don’t sound so astonished. Will formally asked me to be his girlfriend just last night, and of course, I said yes. He took me out to dinner, with candlelights and all, and asked me properly."For a moment, I thought, genuinely, that I had misheard her. Had the accident, perhaps, screwed w
