Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

The diamond necklace Jayden boughtfor graduation. Of course, he wouldn't remember it. But Ashlyn. knows

exactly what she's doing. She's unbelievable. She has him, why rub it in my face? | swear this woman is a few

sandwiches short of a picnic.

| just can't understand why she can't just leave it alone. Her jealousy is next level. Surely Jayden can see what

she's like. If he ever got his memories back, he'd know for sure how manipulated he is.

I'm not going to give her the satisfaction of mentioning it and having her think I notice or care about her choice

of dress or jewelry.

Instead, | smile. "There you two are! This night is so fantastic. It's good to be back really. | don't know why |

waited so long." Okay, so maybe that was a little immature but what the hell. "Jayden, thanks for the welcome

party, Phillip is a bit late but on the way." "You look stunning. Winona." Jayden says, and his eyes look a little

distant for a second.

My mind flashes back to the way he'd danced slowly withat prom. Holdingso close and murmuring in my

ear...

"You look stunning, my darling." He nuzzled my ear and we melted into each other with a magical kiss. Red is

your color. The color of molten lava, which is how hot | am for you right now."

| knew | was ready, and | knew we'd spend the rest of our lives together at that moment. | whispered into his ear,

"your tux looks great too, can't wait to see it on the floor."

He chuckled and nuzzled my neck. "Hey, that's supposed to be my line! Let's get out of here early.

Ashlyn's sharp voice dragsback to reality.

"Oh, Winona, My goodness, it's been so long. Welcback," she says with fake sincerity while making her

massive engagement diamond on her left hand show. +25 DONUS

| can't even be bothered to play these stupid games. "Ashlyn. You two look amazing. Great to see you as well.

We were just talking about catching up sometime. | hope you'll join us

Ashlyn looks a little surprised by my offer but she doesn't argue. "That would be fun, | think. What do you think

my darling?" she asks Jayden but he isn't listening, he's staring over my shoulder. "Darling?" Ashlyn repeats and

touches his arm.

Jayden looks at her, "oh, sure thing. Love to."

| wonder if he's even heard the conversation and | look behindto see what Jayden was staring at and

| see Phillip holding court and looking super-hot in his very tailored tuxedo that shows every outline of his fit

body. | smile as he looks up atand waves. He excuses himself and comes over.

Well, well, is Jayden jealous? Maybe | can have a little fun in that case. Show Ashlyn how little | care about what

she has going on inside her head at the stime.

"Winona, I'm so sorry I'm late." He leans in and kisses my cheek and I link my arm through his. "Traffic and in a

strange town."

"No problem. I've been playing catch up with sold friends."

He reaches out and shakes hands with Jayden. "Mr. Brennan, thanks for the party. We both appreciate the formal

welcome."

"CallJayden when we're not in the office. This is my Fiancée, Ashlyn."

"Nice to meet you, Ashlyn." Phillip shakes her hand lightly.

| can see Lisa is staring open-mouthed at Phillip because he's really cover-model perfect. This is my chance. |

only hope Phillip catches on.

"Lisa and Lance, this is Philip. A partner in the firm | started and have just sold to Brennan Industries and my

partner in life."

I'm not sure if Ashlyn looked relieved or suspicious. Jayden's mouth drops open a little. But Phillip didn't miss a

beat and went along with me. "We're both happy to be here. | hope we can really be an asset to the business

and that | get to know you all as well as Winona does. She was quite excited about coming back."

Lisa smiled and shook his hand and gave him a small hug. "So wonderful to meet you, Phillip. | hope we get to

know you better very soon. | think we should all go to the club soon."

Lance shakes Phillip's hand and claps him on the shoulder. "Glad to have you on board. Are you a basketball man

or football man?"

"Basketball. Lakers."

"Hah! I'm a Lakers man too. We're going to get along fine. We should go catch the gnext week, | have

tickets."

"I won't say no to that."
