Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband

07 Feelings Resurface

07 Feelings Resurface (Jayden)

Something about Winona's picture with her bright, warm smile and her shining, proud eyes triggered something inside of me.

I had to see her again. Even if she'd been on the bottom of the list. Also I wasn't surprised to see her at the top. For some reason I knew she would be the best at what she did. Something deep inside me told me she always was. As soon as I laid eyes on her I was not going to take no for an answer. He kissed and I saw her gently push him away. There's a feeling inside me even now I don't understand. Why him touching her should bother me, I don't know. It doesn't, it was just the shock of running into her again. I flick up her picture on my screen,

Another vision flashes into my head: Winona, her smile was even brighter than the picture on my screen. She's laughing and I'm spinning her around.

A sharp pain hits inside my head. Damn, that hurts so bad. Maybe I should go see the doc. They did say may have issues, especially if I started remembering. Am I starting to remember or is this just stuff I've dreamed? I'm not sure.

Ashlyn knocks lightly on the office door. I shut down the picture of Winona and told her to come in.

"Have you had a chance to look at the venues?"

"I was just going through the list," I lied. "Do you have any preferences?"

My hesitation at making decisions has made her very nervous I think.

"You mother thinks we should go for the most expensive one because there's plenty of room and it's all inclusive."

"I'm not marrying my mother, though, am I? What do you prefer?"

"I prefer you tell me what you want. Then I know that it's what you want, not just what I want. We're at team, aren't we?"

I get up

and walk to her. "Of course we're a team. I love you Ashlyn." I take her in my arms and I feel the tension drain from her. "But... I do have business I need to take care of. Digital marketing has been costing me millions and I can't let that continue. I want everything to be running smoothly so I don't have to worry when we go on our honeymoon."

"You work so hard. You know, I couldn't care less if we just eloped, as long as we're married that's all that matters."

A pain shoots through my head again and I groan and grab my forehead. Elope. A flash of Winona staring up at me, a flash of happiness, then it's black again.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ashlyn steps back and grabs my hand. "Is there anything wrong? Did you remember something?" 1

I know she always used to fear my memory coming back before we got engaged, when I was still legally

married to Winona. Although she said back then she would leave without any fuss if I chose Winona, Ashlyn and I are engaged now and planning a future.

I can't imagine she's going to be happy about me remembering anything about having feelings for Winona, but I am a man of honor and I can't just marry her if I'm starting to remember. I need to know I am making the right choice. "I'm not sure. I think I need to see my doctor."

Her expression drops into a frown and I see her eyes shine with tears. "Of course. I'll make you an appointment."

"I need to tell you something else. The new digital marketing firm I'm considering. It's Winona's company."

"What?! How? Have you been looking for her?"

"No. It was just a coincidence. But I have been to a meeting with her and her partner and I'll be seeing her in my office tomorrow to go over the details." 1

"I think this is the wrong choice. There must be other companies."

My temper flares a little. "Brennan Industries only works with the best and it's not just my decision. The board will always choose what's best regardless of personal circumstance. It's been years, why would you be worried now?"

"I'm not worried. Just about you. I don't want to lose us but I want you to be okay medically too."

"I don't want to hurt you, Ashlyn, but I need to know if these are memories or just stress from everything. I want to marry you knowing we can have a long and happy life together without this damn memory thing hanging over us."

Truthfully, I need to sort out why I felt so drawn to Winona when I saw her in person again and why I hated seeing another man touch her like that. She is coming to another meeting tomorrow. She said she wasn't signing any contract until we spoke in private.

I have to admire her guts in standing up to me. If that had been anyone else, I'd have never done business with them again.

Do I have feelings for Winona?
