She flinched. Her body recoiled when she heard the words, I love you.
Cassy shook her head and tried to step back, but I wouldn’t let her hand go.
In the end, I pulled her body to me and held her in my arms.
The tighter, the better.
At first, she was struggling against me, but when she realized I had no intention of making her win, she let her body go limp.
Then, her shoulders shook.
I heard her cry, and my heart broke countless times, hearing how the sound seemed to be torn out of her.
Cassy was having a hard time digesting my words.

BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX - TWO OPPOSING VIEWS
Cassy POV While I listened to Caleb, I realized all this time, we had a contrasting take on what had transpired within our marriage. His version was quite different from how I perceived it. “That is not how I remembered it, Caleb. You were devastated when Amanda turned you down.” Caleb shook his head. He seemed lost in space while I waited for him to gather his thoughts. It was a long time before he composed himself. Under my watchful gaze, he unconsciously picked up his water glass to sip from it. When he placed the glass back on the table, he rested his hands on the table, our fingers touching. At one point, he let his index finger move and caressed the back side of my hand. “I don’t know if this makes sense, but it was my guilt. It overrides my thinking process. It was not to excuse my behavior back then, but sometimes we were so set on doing something that when it backfired on us, or it got derailed, we felt out of balance.” I nodded, prodding him to go on. “That’s

Tony POV“Hello, Tony.”When Cassy answered my frantic phone call, I hesitated briefly, but then I looked at the crumpled sheets in my bedroom and took a deep breath.“Have you heard from Tory?” Her name sounded weird, coming out of my lips.Cassy must have felt the same because she became quiet all of a sudden. It was like she could not believe what she was hearing and proceeded to clarify,“Sorry, are you asking me about Tory Brent?”The confusion in her voice was unmistakable. I could not blame her.It was the first time I called her to ask for Tory’s whereabouts when in the past, I us

Tony POV“Where are you going?” I asked when I noticed her tiptoeing out of my bedroom as the first rays of sunlight hit the open windows and landed on my face.It was what woke me up.My hands groped the other side of the bed to feel my companion and encountering an empty, cold space had me bolting out of bed. And that was when I saw her.Tory’s hand was on the knob, ready to twist it open when I asked her.Jolted, she turned around to watch me get up from the bed naked.I saw her gulp.“Will you cover yourself?” She said waspishly.I thought she was being coy, so I teased her.“What’s the use of getting dressed when you have already seen all of me and feasted on every square inch of my body last night?”She blushed at the reminder. But then, she turned again to face the door. This time, when her hand connected to the knob, she pulled it toward her. The door opened, and she stepped out.“Where are you going?”Now that her actions fully registered, I dared to ask.“We haven’t talked

It appears like they had an argument. He was looking for Tory.”I saw Caleb nodding with a hint of a smile curving the corner of his lips.“Why are you smiling? There’s nothing funny.” I said snarkily, still miffed about my conversation with Tony while feeling protective of my best friend.The man could be so blind sometimes.This time, Caleb was truly smiling when he spread his arms. “I could sense romance brewing between them so that means one man is off your radar. That is good, right?”He expounded by wiggling his eyebrows at me which actually surprised me, exposing a playfulness to his side that I never knew existed. The Caleb I knew was never this playful. He used

Caleb POV “Sir, the documents you requested are already here.” I pulled away from Cassy to answer my assistant, Gordon’s, phone call. “Okay. Wait for me at the office. I will be there in a while.” Cassy looked at me after I casually put the phone back in my pocket. “You have to go.” She told me. My heart constricted when I detected a hint of longing from her voice. It made me want to stay. I watched when Cassy stood from the couch and walked nonchalantly to her desk. She folded her legs and propped one knee on the seat of her swivel chair before carefully scanning the documents on her table, perusing them. Reluctantly, I pulled my gaze back to look at my watch. “Yeah. I have to go. I have a meeting in a while. It will be done by lunch.” “So?” She inquired, still not looking at me. I smiled. My wife does not want me to go. I thought to myself. Slowly, I walked until I reached her desk to grab her by the waist before turning her body around to face me. I hoist

BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED NINE - BABY NUMBER THREE
Cassy POVDuring the party, I could feel that something was bothering Caleb. It's not that I was suspecting him of anything. It was more like I was just puzzled at the antsy behavior. From time to time, he would leave me to talk on the phone, and my lips formed a straight line in displeasure. I am sure it was business, but can’t he postpone business for a while to enjoy the children’s party?“You look lonely, babe. Where is your husband?” Reynold approached me when he noticed I was standing alone in the corner, watching the event while my husband was out of sight. Caleb just stepped out of the room, purportedly to answer Gordon’s call, and it is honestly pi*sing me off. I shrugged my shoulders and looked murderous. The day began magnificently. Caleb and I rose before dawn and tiptoed our way to the twins' bedroom to spruce it up with birthday decor. We wanted to surprise the twins, and we did!The smile on their faces was priceless. Caleb and I could not contain our tears whe

Cassy was surprised but did not remove my arms around her waist while we talked to my best friends. This alone made me shoot Greg a gloating look. If I didn’t need them for my proposal later, I wouldn’t have invited them, especially Greg, but they are the only people I could rely on.A crowd gathered around us, and my two best friends entertained them, allowing Cassy and I to extricate ourselves from the circle to welcome Adam and Cassy’s friends as they trickled in one by one.
