CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE - IDYLLIC AFTERNOON
Cassy POV
Can the floor gobble me up? Or can I be an Ostrich so I can stick my head on the ground to avoid looking into Caleb’s eyes?
When he heard Oakley divulging my top secret, Caleb tried so hard to keep the smile off his face, but he failed miserably because his eyes wouldn’t keep up.
It glowed when he took cognizance of what Oakley said.
“So, you had a crush on me when you were five.” He stated rather smugly.
“Don’t you dare laugh,” I warned, squinting my eyes.
Thankfully, he was able to suppress himself from smiling, but I could see it was a struggle from the way the corners of his lips extended.
“You are laughing at me!” I accused him, smacking his chest with the back of my hand.
Caleb dodged by tucking his tummy before c

BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN - THANK YOU!
Caleb POV“Are you okay?” I asked Cassy. We were in bed. We already put the kids to bed ages ago.Still, my wife tossed and turned on her side of the bed, and I had a good idea of what was bothering her. I wanted to assure her that tomorrow was going to be alright. But knowing my mother’s track record, I could only predict the worst. So, I did the only thing I knew that would calm her. I pulled Cassy to my side. She scooted closer, allowing me to cuddle her in a spooning fashion - with her back to my front and my arms wrapped around her. She sighed as she burrowed in my warmth. At first, our closeness made me aware of how tense her body was, but gradually, the tension eased, and she began to relax. “You know I wouldn’t let anything happen to you, right?”“You might change your mind.” She admitted meekly.“I thought we were past that?” I asked. I could have taken it out against her but couldn't, knowing how often she dealt with it in the past.She shook her head and pulled my a
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT - PARANOID
Caleb POVI woke up that morning feeling refreshed. I looked to my side, and tenderness assailed me when I saw my wife’s sleeping face up close. Cassy is sleeping with half her face resting on the pillow, allowing me a good look. Last night, I felt her apprehension. She was anxious about what would happen today, and it made me resolve to do something about it. I got up from bed, seeing that she was still asleep. I do not want to wake her with my nose. After sliding my feet into my house slippers, I grabbed my robe that I left hanging on the back of a chair to do it. Taking my phone from the bedside table, I walked the short distance to the door leading to the balcony. When I got out, I started calling a number. It answered on the first ring. “Sir?” “Gordon, I need you to up the security detail for today. My family and my in-laws are meeting my parents at the courthouse today. Make sure we have enough men to watch. Detail enough people, I don’t care, so long as they can k
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE - MY CALM, MY PEACE, MY HOME
Caleb POVGetting back into our room, I found Cassy sitting on the bed. Her eyes which were previously glued on the phone, lifted in my direction. It was not so hard to hazard a guess as to who she was talking to before I arrived. A smile formed on my lips as I watched the light in the light shone bright in her eyes. Even at this distance, I could hear Oakley's loud voice as I stared at the phone in her hand. But Cassy stole my attention when she waved at me. Her smile made my heart stop for no apparent reason. Absent-mindedly, I waved back. "Kids, I am hanging up. Daddy is here." She said on the line, pulling me out of my trance. I heard the kids say their goodbyes before Cassy hurriedly put the phone down. She lifted the sheet covering her legs and swung her legs out of the bed. Knowing her intent, I started walking. We met halfway. I stopped in front of her."Good morning, sweetheart." I greeted, bending my head to give her a chaste kiss.Cassy tiptoed to meet my lips. The
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY - WEAK KNEES
Caleb POVI felt Cassy's body relaxing against mine, but it was not enough to make me complacent about our situation. We still have a lot to work on.My talk with Greg came to my mind. I knew it wasn't the right time because we still had to deal with our parents. I have no problem with the Burkes. Apart from Ellen's silent treatment earlier - which she solely directed at Cassy - I can safely say that Cassy's parents are more reasonable and open to accepting me in their fold.Still, when I said I wanted to earn Cassy's trust, it also meant earning her family's trust in the process. My relationship with Adam is slowly progressing. Now, I am working on my relationship with her parents. It was Cassy's relationship with my mother that bothers me. It would certainly ruin the trust that the Burkes placed in me if they knew how harshly and unfairly my mother treated Cassy now or in the past. To cap it off, I felt Cassy seriously needed my assurance.Not wanting to disappoint her, I cup
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-ONE - MORNING WITH THE KIDS
Caleb POVCassy is this life's gift to me that I don't think I would ever deserve, but I will be forever grateful. I was about to kiss her when we heard a commotion outside our door and Oakley's muffled voice calling out to us. "Open the door! We're here!" We smiled at each other before I trotted to the door, where I opened it a crack. As usual, our Oakley acted like she owned the place. She flung the door wide open, ignoring me. Her eyes lit up when she saw her mother. "Mommy!" Oakley cried and raced to her waiting mom. My son did the same. He ran behind his sister toward their mother.The gamut of emotions flitting across Cassy's face at the sight of our kids was marvelous to watch.I was standing by the door awestruck as I watched them. Oakley sat on the V of her mother’s legs while Cassy pulled her hair with a brush to tie it in a ponytail. Joachim, on the other hand, made himself comfortable in our bed. He was lying on his side, playing with his Rubik’s cube. “Mommy,
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO - CHANGES
Cassy POV“You’re becoming a kissing monster,” I said in reproach when Caleb pulled back from our kiss. “Because you are that kissable!” He said, touching the tip of my nose with his index finger. I giggled, and he held me for a second longer in his arms before releasing me. The grin never left his face, and it was such a wonderful sight!Caleb was always serious. Even at the beginning of our affair six years ago, when I used to work for him, I never saw Caleb this open with his feelings. And he was never this happy.I love seeing the changes in him. Sometimes, I wondered if something happened to him during our three-year separation. The change was so drastic. A complete 180-degree turn. But what am I complaining about? There might be some glitches in our relationship now, but I think it could very well work out in the end as long as we both strive hard to make it work.The kids were still busy with the activity books when we emerged from the walk-in closet. “Wax, Oaks, let

Cassy POVCaleb stroked the rubber band he put on my ring finger earlier with the tip of his finger. “I was surprised Oakley did not comment about it during breakfast.” He commented. I smiled when he took my hand, intertwined our fingers, and placed it on his thigh.“Your hands feel clammy,” Caleb commented.I pressed my lips together and nodded. We were already inside the van that would bring us to the courthouse. We were sitting on the front with Caleb manning the steering wheel. From time to time, C would release my hand when he needed it for the gear stick. When the van stopped at a red light, Caleb leaned close to whisper in my ear. “Are you worried?” I shook my head. “I had long ago accepted that your mother and I would never have any relationship besides being in-laws. I was more worried about the kids and my parents’ reaction if your mother starts acting up.” I whispered back. Caleb squeezed my hands. “Don't worry about Wax and Oaks. The courthouse has an indoor p
