CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE - FACING A NEW REALITY
Tory POV
A lone tear escaped my eye.
How can I make him understand that in order to stay this long on my feet; that in order to keep on fighting, I had to bandage all the scars in my heart with steel, making it hard?
Tony and I stared at each other for how long, I don't know.
It was like our eyes were talking with each other, saying things we could not utter with our lips.
My chest felt stuffy. The air around us became stuffy as well making it hard to breathe.
“I am sorry for hurting you, Tory.” Finally, his lips formed the words.
And while I heard his words, tears streamed down my face relentlessly.
I do not know what is happening to me. I thought I already cried all the tears I needed to shed. But what is this?
Why is this h

Tony POVI don’t know what made me break down right now. It must be the look on Tory's face. There was so much sadness… and acceptance. And that look bothered me, bordering on paranoia. I never had one until I confronted my issues with Tory. Now, as I looked at her, I felt Tory was slipping away from me, and if I did not fight for her, she would be gone forever - Tory and our child. Tory was slowly drifting away, and if I acquiesced to her demand, the tide and the wind would carry her someplace where I could not follow or find her. “I was a fool, Tory. I tried to bury the anger toward myself and lashed out at you. Because come to think of it, we are in this together. We are one in our brokenness.” “Every time I lashed out at you, the backlash to myself was double. Every time I unleash cruel words towards you, it was like it bounced back to me, and it landed on my face harder than when I hurled it at you.” “I am punishing you, but in truth? I was punishing myself. I denied

Tony POVI could not believe what I was hearing.Tory is giving us a chance!It’s so f*cking unbelievable!I stared at her. I find it hard to digest what I heard. I needed to clarify.“What does it mean exactly? Do you want us to make our relationship work??” Hope burgeoned in my chest.I know I was never deserving of Tory’s love, but I will try to show her every second that I am not going to waste this chance. I will prove to her that she is worthy and more.She shook her head. “We don’t have a relationship, Tony.” She mumbled almost inaudibly.My face fell.Tory is right.I realized ruefully we never did have one.We only have the babies to connect
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR - MOMMY'S CRUSHING ON YOU!
Cassy POVThe first thing I noticed when the children emerged from the kitchen with Tory was her red puffy eyes. Immediately, I threw Tony an accusatory look, which he deftly interpreted. He shook his head as if to deny the censure in my eyes. I clamped my mouth shut, not wanting to start an argument because although Tory's eyes were swelling, she looked at peace and contented. The glow in her eyes was unmistakable. I could only guess what happened in the kitchen and hoped that they already resolved their issues. Tory deserves to be happy. She deserves a man who will love her and make her his queen. "Aunt Tory, when is your baby coming?"Oakley asked, disrupting me from my musings. "The baby needs to grow first. When Aunt Tory's tummy grows bigger, it is a sign that the baby is ready to pop out." Tony explained. He sat on the couch opposite Tory because the two kids planked her, one twin on each side of her, and would not stop asking so many questions. "How many days?" Oak

Cassy POVCan 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

Cassy POVCaleb’s upper body bobbed up the surface while Joachim swam away from him. He brushed his dripping hair back, looking like a Greek god.My jaw almost dropped at seeing his broad shoulders and chiseled abs, knowing how hard it felt to my hands.But my sudden fascination with his body was broken when he turned to Oakley and saw the damage he created.My baby girl was drenched from head to toe.I could feel how hard Caleb was trying to keep a straight face, knowing Oakley hated it when she was being laughed at.His amusement and the way he struggled to contain that amusement was infectious.I can’t imagine the control it took him while I clutched a hand to my chest, holding back my laughter, but it came out as a snort.“You f*rted, Mommy!” Oakley accused, wagging her fingers at me as if I did something horrible.“I didn’t Oakley.” I denied it, biting my lips and shaking my head no.It was a struggle to keep up a straight face.It was a good thing Oakley was no longer interest
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
