CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT - AT THE AIRPORT
Cassy POV
“Adam, you know you can't. You do not love each other. Marrying Tory would only create a bigger mess.”
“But I want to take care of Tory.” His insistence was admirable, especially when he juts his chin like Joachim.
“Do you love her?”
Adam was silent. He sighed, and I understood the turmoil churning inside him.
“You know I don't believe in love. Not anymore. I don't trust any woman either, except Mom, you and Tory.”
I bit my lip at the bitterness in my brother's voice. I knew how he had been hurt in the past, and

Adam POVI watched the twins as they ran to their parents and smiled. I was about to follow them, but then my phone rang.“Jared. Sorry for not taking your calls earlier.”“Sir, I sent you a document.”“What about?”“Former Mrs. Kingston, mother of Mr. Caleb Kingston, went online and debunked Mr. Caleb’s claims about his family. She said that the only daughter-in-law the Kingstons recognized was Amanda Hayes.”I was silent for a while.“How’s it going? Was it bedlam on the internet?”“No, sir.Mr. Caleb imposed the necessary measures. I just wanted you to know in case.”I nodded. “Good job, Jared. Thanks.”When I ended the call, I watched my sister and her husband interact with each other and their children. I saw that they were taking the recent complication calmly and realized that their relationship was now on solid ground.It was all because Caleb tried his best to win her back. He let Cassy heal and then came back to win her over.“Daddy! I see Grandpa and Grandma!” I hear

I am sure of it.She must have wound up on the news that Caleb was here.If she aims to make another problem for my sister and her husband, then she had better think about aborting her plans because I won't let her.I will not let Amanda Hayes break my sister’s newfound happiness.It was also then that I dropped any intention of marrying Tory.Cassy is right.Let Tony and Tory settle their differences within them. I would only muddle the situation if I came right between them.
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE - I LOVE YOU
Adam POVWithin seconds, Amanda was lying on the bed while I hovered over her. Our hot breaths mingle.My hand lifted and clutched the neckline of my shirt from the back, hurriedly pulling it off me, wanting skin-to-skin contact.Amanda must have felt the same. She was pulling at the buttons of her dress when my hands replaced hers.“Don’t.”Confusion swirled in her green eyes when she looked at me.And I was quick to explain. “Never undress for a man. Make a man undress you.”Color filled her cheeks, eliciting a satisfied smile from me.Slowly, I tackled one button after another. My eyes widened every time I uncovered her skin until her pink brassiere peeked out from my view. It barely covered her twin globes and I stared at the swell of her bre*sts remembering the last time I saw her like this – bared for my satisfaction.Without conscious thought, my hand lifted as I let the tips of my fingers roam over her nude alabaster skin.Heaven!I took a heavy sigh, trying to rein in my em
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO - STAY
Adam POVWe ended the call. Oakley said goodbye and made smooching sounds. I laughed despite the predicament I was in, ignoring my blue b*lls.If my friends were to get wind of this, they would be laughing their heads off.I was so near, but then Oakley’s bad timing for a call c*ck blocked me.I walked back to the bed, conscious of Amanda's stare. She was studying my body. I stood proud, noting the admiration in her eyes.I propped my knees on the bed and crawled to her.“I guess this is it, huh?” She asked, biting her lip.“Sorry, I have to leave,” I told her regretfully, but she was one step ahead.
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDFRED FIFTY-THREE - WHY WON'T YOU STAY WITH ME?
Tony POVStay.That was what Adam said, but how can I when Tory kept pushing me away?One big word, but why is it so hard?“Is the water too hot?” I asked after Tory took a sip from the glass of warm water I got from her.She shook her head but did not say anything more. She was just looking into space. I have wanted to be inside her brain to know what she was thinking.She cupped the mug with both hands and subconsciously ran her thumb over the side.Finally, she looked up to me.“Why are you still here?”I shrugged my shoulders.“You are here.” I pointed out, hoping to get a reaction from her, but she did not respond.She stared long into the mug like she was investigating its contents. Then, she lifted her head to look back at me.“You have patients to attend to. Why stay here with me? You are busy. Get busy and do your thing.” She was trying to shoo me away, but I held my ground.I promised I would stay, and I will. Even though Tory pushes me every time.“I already applied for
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
