CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE - SHE'S GONE
Caleb’s POV
I don't know what came over me as I strode out of Cassy's room as if in a daze.
My hand connected to my phone, and I started pressing numbers as dread swept over me.
“St. John Hospital, how may I help you?”
“I want to know the exact time Cassy Burke checked out and who fetched her." I barked on the phone.
Startled, the girl on the other line nervously tried to explain.
“I am sorry, I can not provide the information you seek. We at St. John Hospital value our client's privacy. We are not allowed to give away vital information regarding them." She stammered.
Maybe she could sense the authority in my voice and did not want to get herself into trouble.
“Do you know who I am?” I asked as I pressed the down button.
The elevator is taking time to arrive, adding to my frustration.
“Uhm no sir. I-a-am sorry.” The stammer was back.

Cassy’s POV“You should be resting.”I was startled when Tony broke into my thoughts.I did not realize that he had followed me here. “I just came back from hospital confinement where all I did was rest. Besides, I am resting.” I replied, glancing at him before pulling my gaze back to return my focus to the sea beyond.The waves lapping at the beach mesmerized me. The way it pulls in and back as it kisses the sand on the beach creates a relaxing rhythm for me.Tony joined me. He sat on the towel I laid out to sit on, the skin of our arms touching, but neither one of us spoke. We simply enjoyed each other's company and the silence, the breeze, and the waves serving as our background. I sat with my arms wrapped around my bent-up knee, looking to the sea and beyond.“Are you sad?”“Why would I?” I shot back too quickly like I was afraid the facade I kept holding on to would collapse any minute.“Come on kid. We have been friends for years. You can not fool me.”He nudged me with hi
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE - I HATE YOU, CALEB KINGSTON
Cassy POVThe next morning, I heard a commotion from outside, prompting me to wake up. There was a shouting match, and the mention of my name forced me out of bed. I hurriedly padded through the floor and went to the window, drawing the drapes back to get a glimpse outside.My eyes widened when I saw my ex-husband calling out for me. He looked unkempt, unlike the usual pristinely groomed Caleb Kingston I know. “Cassy. I know you are here. Please, let us talk.” Desperation filled his voice. Adam’s friends held him back. There were four men, including my brother, and he was only one. I was surprised he came in alone. With his money and connections, I think he could have mobilized an army to face my brother’s wrath. But he didn’t.I sighed. Caleb Kingston could be stupid sometimes. Didn’t he realize that he was outnumbered? What if Adam's restraint slipped? Caleb would be black and blue after Adam was done with him. “Cassy. Please, let us talk!” “Will you cut it? I told you C

I cannot be engaged.” He insisted.The quiet insistence in his voice tinged with the seriousness in his eyes, did not calm the storm in my heart. It had the opposite effect.It made me furious!How dare he!I pressed my lips together, fed up with his cruel games.We both knew the score. But if Caleb wanted to continue lying, that is not going to be my problem anymore.I already gave him a chance to thresh out the loose ends between us because I believe we both need closure to heal and move forward. But if Caleb insisted on lying to me. Then, there was nothing I could do about it.I can ditch the closure goodbye and never look back.Today, Caleb made me realize that there is no sense in asking for closure with a man who toyed with your feelings and lied to you all through your married life.It is no longer important for me to close this chapter between us because I figured there was nothing t

Adam POVOnce the door closed on us, I let the anger inside me loose. It had been simmering inside me since we brought Cassy to the hospital. Now that Cassy was being attended to, I could no longer hold myself and vented on Caleb since he was the root cause of all this mess. When he turned around, my fist was already waiting for him. It contacted his face.I watched his face contort at the impact before skidding to the floor. He landed with a hard thud on the wall.Tory cried. Her mouth hung open in shock.Cole and Martin, on the other hand, acted quickly. They grabbed both of my arms to restrain me."What did you do to her, you b*stard!" I spat out, struggling from the grappling hold my friends had on me.The worry never left my face. I knew this b”astard must have said something to agitate Cassy. My sister would not react so strongly if Caleb did not say anything to make her so angry. This is what I had been afraid of. Tony already advised Cassy to take care and as much as pos

We are doing everything we can to save them.” Dr. Tony Richardson explained, but my eyes never ventured away from Cassy’s face.She looked so vulnerable and thin – paper thin – like a wind could blow her off.“And?” I asked.Tony seemed to know what I needed to ask but never dared to voice out because a sudden lump formed in my throat, blocking my vocal cords.He straightened from his seat, hands linked together, placing them on top of a retractable desk before pinning us with his penetrating gaze.
