BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR - I'M SORRY I WASN'T THERE
Tony POVTory stopped what she was doing and looked pointedly at me. She struggled to control her patience; I could see that when her brows knitted without warning.She used to do that when working on something in her head. I am just glad she did not cut my head off with a scream. This Tory in front of me was different. Maybe it was the pregnancy. She was more brooding and silent when she learned she was pregnant. Or it might be due to the pain I caused her. I gritted my teeth, blaming myself, but I could not let this topic go. I had to be shameless. I had to rile Tory, or she might go into depression. “I want to take care of you and the baby. I am worried.” She scoffed. From the way I looked at it, her stance had not changed since the last time we had our talk. She would rather have her peace than stay with me. “No, Tony. We already talked about this. I need to get away. To sort myself.” “But you are pregnant. What if something suddenly goes wrong?” Fear etched into my fac
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE -BRAVE
Tory POVIt was a relief to unburden the pain and the guilt that has festered me for years. I thought I already unloaded all that stuff when I disclosed this deep dark secret to Cassy, but maybe it was not enough. Tony needed to hear it. There were like chains that bound me to endless despair and solitary aloneness. I felt lost for a long time, but when Tony held me like this, I felt cared for. He understood my pain. Maybe because the child was both from us. I could feel the sense of loss that matches mine when I looked in his eyes. Gone was the accusation, hatred and blame I used to see from his expression, replaced by understanding and compassion. How I longed for years to tell him the truth, but faced with animosity, I would often step back and retreat. “So many times, I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid.” I admitted and held on to his shirt. “I am sorry you feel that way. I was selfish, Tory.” There was derision in his voice and I was quick to stop him. “Don’t.” I t
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SIX - HOSPITAL DISCHARGE
Tory POVBut like a coward, I brushed the thought aside. I could have been mistaken. I shook my head to dispel this notion in my head. It was not good that I was getting way ahead of myself once again. Tony may have understood the pain that bound me like a chain through these years. He may care for me as the mother of his children, but he was not in love with me. I was so ashamed to be thinking and being affected like this. I should know better. Accepting this truth was a bitter pill to swallow, but beneficial, too, for my peace of mind. I cannot let myself assume. Action without words is nothing. Assuming things without confirmation only causes confusion and heartache in the end. It is best to surround myself with a protective wall because my heart has already been shredded into tiny pieces. Another tear, and I don't know if I can still take it. I have to admit, it was nice having someone to share the burden with. It was nice having two strong male arms and a chest to lean o
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN - WORK TO FORGET
Tory POVAdam did not stay long.He dropped us off at my apartment, to which I was surprised to note that he knew, and then he left.When he was gone, Tony helped me inside. He asked someone from the reception area to help us with our luggage while he helped me walk. I wanted to assure him I was alright, but I didn't want us to argue in front of a stranger, so I kept mum about it.When we reached my unit, I watched as Tony fuss around the house and noted that he placed his bags alongside mine inside my room. "Tony, you are not going to live here," I told him outright, horror in my face. I thought we already discussed this. I am going to live alone, away from him. He nodded. "Yes. I will take this with me when I leave." He said, motioning to his bags resting on the floor. His confirmation made me heave a sigh of relief. I watched him unpacked my bags. He was pulling out my underwear from inside, and I started balking at the contrast of my lacy underwear in his capable hands. "
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT - LOOKIING FOR THE LOST DAUGHTER
Tory POV“Yes!” I shot back with urgency, wanting him to see that it was pointless to pine away. Work opened my eyes to the realities of life. It made me see life in a whole new perspective. Or maybe it was the pain that did it. I don’t know anymore. My mind wandered, hoping to grab an idea out of thin air – something to keep Tony and me occupied while my head was in shambles. My gaze landed on my phone, and I remembered. “Reynold. We can ask for his services. He will help us.” I saw him frown.“And what’s with that guy? Why bring him up in our conversation?” Tony looked vexed and clueless. I took advantage of his momentary confusion to add, “You said we would check on our baby?” I raised a brow, pointing that out. Tony relaxed, and his eyes turned bright. “Yes, we will.”I nodded. “Then, call Reynold. He can help us. I already used his services eight years ago. He knows where to start.”Tony’s frown deepened. I could sense the distaste for Reynold in Tony’s expressi
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE - WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO?
Tory POVTony followed my hands. “Are you hurt?” He sounded alarmed, and I almost laughed at his expression. He looked constipated. I looked at my hands, slowly caressing my stomach, and shook my head. “No. I just want to assure myself that this is real. We are going to look for our first child.” I told him wistfully. Tony nodded. He seemed to understand my feelings even if I did not tell him. He stands up. “Rest. I will just be outside. If you need anything, tell me so I can get it for you.” He walked through the door and was gone.When he left, I received a call from Cassy. I picked it up. “Cassy!” There was a momentary silence before I heard Cassy’s voice. “You sounded happy. Did something good happen?” She probed. I launched into a monologue, telling her about Tony and I’s plan to look for our child and maybe reconnect with her. “That’s good Tory. I am glad you told Tony.” There was another pause. “So...How are you and Tony? Did you patch things up?” I bit m
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIXTY - SORRY, MOMMY!
Cassy POV"Who were you talking to?"I turned around abruptly after hearing Caleb inquire. As usual, my heart did little flip-flops at the sight of him. He's wearing casual clothes. The way the shirt clung to his body, defining his broad shoulders and flat abs, makes me want to run my hands on them. Thankfully, the kids were in attendance, distracting me from my lewd thoughts. They jumped from the couch to run to their father. "Daddy!""Daddy!" Joachim and Oakley cried excitedly at the same time. They were like two whirlpools of energy slamming Caleb's muscular body. Caleb held his arms sideward to catch them, eliciting giggles and cackles from the two. "What were you up to?" He asked them, pulling them up toward his chest to hug them. "We were talking to Aunt Tory just now. She was out of the hospital, and we were going to see her tomorrow." Oakley reported. Caleb put them down when they squirmed in his arms. Then, he put his hands on top of Oakley's head, rubbing it ge
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE - OUTSMARTED BY A THREE-YEAR OLD
Cassy POVI saw my mother’s pupils dilate as her eyes widened in shock when she saw me kneeling on the floor and resting my hands on her lap. I used to do this when I was a kid. I was a recalcitrant child, often disobeying my mother when she wanted me to act like a girl, insisting that I should be one of the boys and following after my big brother, much to our mother’s horror and dismay. Ellen Burke wanted a lady for a daughter, but what can I do? I love being with my brother and his friends. We often climb trees, play in the sun, and hose each other down to cool off on hot summer days. She finally gave up when I was often lonely, spending time alone in our mansion. “Sorry, Mrs. Burke.” I heard Caleb say.To my astonishment, Caleb joined me. He knelt beside me with a pleading expression on his face. He squeezed my hand, assuring me that we were both in this together. “What are you two doing?” Ellen Burke gathered herself and exclaimed in shock. She wanted to leave her seat, b
