Evil Ex Wife A car crash landed me smack dab in the middle of a cheesy romance novel , as the villainous ex wife of the rich and powerful CEO .
Remembering the original characters tragic ending , I signed the divorce papers faster than you can say alimony .
My ex husband , Jason , his face went dark .
Ashley , he said , his voice .
like ice , are you absolutely sure about this ? My heart skipped a beat , and I clutched my purse tighter .
Hell yeah , I was sure .
That sweet , sweet settlement money ? I wasnt giving a cent back .
It took three days in the hospital bed to accept the reality of my situation .
Me , Ashley , a regular college student , was now living the life of a walking cliché in some ridiculous romance novel .
I was the ex wife , spoiled rotten and used to getting my way thanks to my familys fortune .
Id fallen head over heels for Jason , the classic handsome , talented , but poor as- < dirt hero , at freshman orientation .
Id chased .
him relentlessly , manipulating him into marrying me .
Jasons dad was deaf , his mom was on dialysis , and hed only married me because he was desperate for the money to pay her medical bills .
Five years of marriage saw Jason rise from a nobody to a business tycoon .
Our relationship .
however , tanked .
He was slipping out of my control , but I was too clueless to notice , still acting like a spoiled brat .

Until I pushed his true .
love , Melissa , down the stairs , breaking her leg .
Thats when Jason finally snapped and filed for divorce .
And thats when I got hit by a car .
Jason showed up on the third day , tossing the divorce papers at me .
Ashley , hed said , his voice dripping with disdain , havent you caused enough trouble ? Despite his coldness , my heart did a little flutter when I saw his face .
I had to give the original Ashley credit was seriously hot .
Then I glanced at the the guy < settlement amount and nearly had a heart attack .
Holy crap .
I was rich ! My family had money , sure , but I had a younger brother , so inheriting the family business was out of the question .
Jason , on the other hand , had built a serious fortune in just a few years .
The divorce settlement was insane .
Karma , apparently , was a bitch , and I was reaping the rewards .
After calculating my newfound riches , I fought back a grin , pretending to be heartbroken .
Okay , I whispered , Ill agree to the divorce .
Jason was taken aback .
He clearly hadnt expected me to cave so easily .
But I wasnt going to miss this opportunity ! Before he could change his mind , I scribbled my signature on the dotted line .
He frowned .
suspiciously .
You … I turned away , dabbing at nonexistent tears .
Ive thought it over , Jason .
Lets just … let each .
other go .
He stood there silently for a long moment .
I was about to crawl back under the < covers and count my money again when I realized he was still staring at the signed .
papers .
Arent you leaving? I asked .
He looked up .
Shouldnt you , uh , go see Melissa ? Her leg .
is still healing , right ? His face darkened .
I got a little nervous .
Was he having second thoughts about giving me so much money ? Tool late , buddy , Id already signed ! Besides , with me being so understanding and all , he practically owed it to me .
Back in college , Jason had a the one that got away Melissa .
The polar opposite of the spoiled rich girl , she was sweet , gentle , and understanding .
She came from a single parent family and struggled financially , but she was smart and driven .
She and Jason were cut from the same cloth , kindred spirits .
If it hadnt been for me , they wouldve been together , building their happily- ever after .
Id ruined that .
The original Ashley was insanely jealous of Melissa , constantly harassing her , culminating in the infamous .
stair pushing incident .
Thats when Jason < finally dumped her for good .
It didnt take a genius to figure out that , having pissed off both the hero and the heroine , my future as the villainous ex wife was bleak .
So , yeah , I was taking the money and running .
Jason finally stormed out .
I let out a breath I hadnt realized I was holding .
Someones got a temper … But the thought of all that money quickly cheered me up .
I grabbed my phone and started browsing online , planning my post- hospital shopping spree .
Then , a text from Chad popped up .
Heard Jason finally dragged himself to see you ? Classic Chad , my childhood friend and resident party animal .
He never liked Jason , and the feeling was mutual .
Especially after Jason and I got married , their families were forced to interact more , and Chads grandpa never missed an opportunity to compare Jason unfavorably to Chad .
Chad thought I was crazy for marrying Jason and kept telling me to dump him .
He was obviously texting to gloat .
Did I care ? Hell no .
I was too < Yeah , I typed back , attaching a picture of the signed divorce papers .
Single and ready to mingle .
Dinners on you .
Chad : ??? He called me immediately .
Are you insane ?! Geez , talk nice .
Heading to the courthouse as soon as Im discharged , I said .
Thankfully , the car crash wasnt too serious , just a mild concussion .
Dont you have a little something to celebrate with ? Chad paused , then chuckled .
Alright , alright .
What does the newly single Ms.
Moneybags have in mind ? Heard you opened a new bar ?
