CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN - TONY'S SHUTTING UP
Tory POV
In any other circumstances, his message could have sent me to the moon, but I know the reason for the behavior was something else.
Tony did not want to be with me because he wanted me.
He only wanted me to be with him to ensure that he could see his child once I gave birth to it.

Cassy POV“Whose house is this, Daddy?” I heard the excitement in Oakley’s voice when she asked Caleb after the car pulled to a stop in front of our mansion. It was my turn to look questioningly at Caleb. The last time we went here, this place was undergoing renovations. “This is our home. The house where Mommy and Daddy used to live before you were born.” He told them, breaking into my thoughts. “Is it finished?” Confusion laced my voice, repeating what Caleb told the kids.Caleb nodded, winking at me. “I had the Master’s bedroom soundproofed with double-lock doors.” He informed me in a subdued tone, eyebrows wiggling. The naughty gesture made my cheeks hot while butterflies slowly fluttered in my stomach. He did not touch me. He only sent me a look, but it sent a special message that only my heart could decode. It sent a special signal to my body - filled with fire and sizzle!The temperature inside the front cabin subtly changed while Caleb shot me with his warm gaze, full o
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACKÂ Â Â CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY - MOMMY AND DADDY'S SECRET
Cassy POVOakley and Joachim were inside their room when we joined them. Caleb had them share one room in the meantime but installed a partition to give them privacy. The kid’s beds were structured to form a cute pink and blue house with a stair, a small railed deck, and a window.“Mommy!” Oakley waved at me, poking her head on the pink window directly above her side of the bed. Joachim did the same.The kids were all smiles as they went up and down the small stairs that also served as drawers for the children's stuff.On the other side of the miniature roof is a small slide. The kids were busy going up the stairs and sliding one after the other.Their giggles and glees warmed my heart, putting a smile on my face.Caleb cupped my chin and caressed the soft skin of my cheek.“I can’t wait to make love to you.” He told me.His eyes blazing in excitement. His nostrils flared, and his eyes grew warm as he gazed at me.The promise in his eyes sent shivers down my spine. I remembered the
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACKÂ Â Â ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE - INTERVIEW DAY
Cassy POVThat night, we put the kids to bed.“Goodnight kids,” Caleb said, tucking them into bed, but Oakley was fast.She grabbed Caleb’s hands and pulled him to the wooden bench at the bottom of the window.Next, she took a picture book from her bag and ran to her father, placing the book in his waiting hands.“You wanted me to read you a story?”“Uhuh!” She nodded before tucking her little body on her father’s left side.Caleb groaned. Throughout the dinner, he kept whispering to me how he was anticipating the alone time, but Oakley was making him wait.I laughed, prompting Caleb to tug at my hand and make me sit beside him.“Caleb!” I shrieked, but Caleb only wrapped his free arm around my waist to pull me to his side.Joachim, on the other hand, sat on his sister’s side, listening while his hands were busy twisting his Rubix cube.Then, he started reading.“Once upon a time, in a land far, far, away….” He droned on.Every time Caleb had to turn a page, he would nudge me because

Cassy POVRing!Ring!Ring!The noise coming from my phone woke me up. Wearily, my hands groped the nightstand and groaned when my muscles creaked in protest.I felt like a truck had run over me.The call persisted, and when the tip of my fingers touched my phone, I latched on it quickly to place it on my ear.“Hellow!” I croaked.“Mommy! It’s Oakley. We have been banging on your door endlessly, but it won’t open. What is wrong? Where are you and Daddy?” I heard the panic in her voice, quickly brushing the haze of sleep. Brushing back the strands of hair that fell into a curtain covering my face, I glanced at the bedside table to check the time. My eyes grew wide in panic when I noticed the time.“Caleb! Wake up!” I nudged him none-too-gently as I shoved the comforter away from my body.I swung my legs over the bed, my feet reaching the floor where they landed on my house slippers. I slipped them on and hastily ran into the bathroom to shower and change.Caleb has just woken up. He

Cassy POVThe kids were still in their pajamas, so I took them to their room to shower and change.One of the nannies Caleb hired when we moved in helped me. When Oakley and Joachim emerged from the bathroom in their matching terry-cloth robes.They raced in my direction, embracing each of my legs when they reached me.I pat them dry, working on rubbing their fragile skins gently.I let them choose what to wear. Oakley chose a white Charlotte dress with a floweret at the waist. She partnered it with a brown mid-calf boot that looks good on her.Joachim, on the other hand, chose a formal vest suit in white and navy. He also partnered it with a brown mid-calf boot for boys that matches what his sister wore.I sat Oakley on my lap and started braiding her hair to create a crown on her head.After I finished with her hair, Oaks quickly ran to our room with Wax. I followed them.When we reached the door, I opened it to find Caleb looking dapper in smart casuals. Oakley pranced around hi
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACKÂ Â Â CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR - HOOK, LINE AND SINKER
Cassy POVI looked in Tory’s direction to confirm. She only nodded shyly before looking down, but not before I saw the usual sadness I gleaned from her eyes when she looked at Tony every time she knew he was not looking.It was pathetic.My friend looked vulnerable, like any moment she would snap, but then the production coordinator clapped his hand to get our attention.When Tory snapped her head back, she was all smiles. It made me think that the desolation I saw flashed before her eyes was just a figment of my mind.I shook my head.I could not be mistaken.Tory and I have been friends since we were young, and apart from that brief moment when she dropped out of school when we were sixteen, we had been inseparable.“Ms. Brent, Mrs. Kingston?” The coordinator led us outside the house.It took me by surprise when I found that our gazebo had been transformed into a magical place.So, this is where Caleb chose to do the interview. It was a good choice. I nodded in my head my silent app
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACKÂ Â Â CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE - LET'S TALK
Cassy POVI squeezed his hand to tell him that I appreciated the honesty. All the while Tory gazed at us, a soft expression laced her face.Caleb lifted my hand and kissed it.Tory looked away; her expression was one of wistfulness.I followed the direction her eyes went, and I found her gazing at Tony and the children.A wistful smile lingered on her face as she focused her glazed eyes on them.I do not know what Tory thinks while watching Joachim and Oakley interact with Tony.The kids maintain a wonderful relationship with Tony being their godfather. He was also patient with them and truly liked them.Then, I caught Tory gripping her hands together. I don't know what was on her mind, but I decided my best friend and I needed to have a heart-to-heart talk now. She was hurting, and knowing she had no one to back her up made me want to hug her tight.Tory had been estranged from her parents since she returned from her unannounced vacation to Canada when we were sixteen. She lived of

Cassy POV“Let’s talk,” I told her and saw the color drain from Tory’s face.“Cassy…”“Don’t Cassy me. I had been trying to keep my distance, respecting your privacy. I can not force you to share your secrets with me, but I could see you hurting. I have to step in.”Tory looked down. I can not pin her with my gaze. But before she concealed her face from me, I was able to see the swirling emotions in her eyes.Her body stiffened, and it was like she was erecting a wall to surround her – shielding her from my hawk-like eyes.I gazed at the top of her head, trying to get into her.Tory had to snap out of that perfect shell she surrounded herself with. She had to cry.“You are my best friend, Tory, and seeing you hurting wanted me to scratch Tony’s eyes. I knew he was the reason for the pain you were carrying over your shoulder for years, and I want you to let it out.“I won’t judge. I won’t criticize. I am only here to listen, and if you need to cry, then you can use my shoulder.” I t
