BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE - I DON'T LIKE YOU, TOO
Tory POVWhen Caleb took Cassy away after dropping the bomb that they were married, the entire club became silent.It was a you-could-hear-a-pin-drop kind of silence. That kind of silence.Then, it became a bedlam right after.Everyone started talking. They could not understand what had just happened.Caleb is one of the most outstanding bachelors out there, and people knew he and Amanda Hayes were engaged for a while.Then, here comes a nobody whom he claims as his wife. Of course, people will start talking. Everyone was so generous with their opinion; you would think all of them were flawless the way they dished out unsavory things against my best friend when they did not know her at all.Talk about judgment!I hate it when people talk about Cassy like she was some kind of gold digger without knowing her full background.I heard some girls saying that the reason Caleb hid her was because she was someone unworthy of his stature. I would like to refute them, but it was futile. People
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX - UNINVITED GUEST
Cassy POVMy mood instantly plummeted outside the police station and went downhill from there. Without waiting for Tory, I climbed the short steps to the apartment.The nanny greeted me. She assured me that the kids were still sleeping. Even so, I wanted to see them.This was the first night I stayed out late; leaving them in the care of someone other than my family or close friends felt strange.So, after paying the nanny and letting her out of the door, I charged up the steps to the children's bedroom. They were both sound asleep. I tiptoed inside the room to hover from their bed, watching their chest rise and fall in rhythm.Getting my fill, I kissed them both on the forehead before getting up and going out of the bedroom, making sure I pulled the door shut on my way out.I went downstairs to the waiting Tory, surprised when she was not there, and in her place, I found Tony sitting calmly by one of the couches.Frowning in confusion, I asked, “Where is Tory?”Tony shrugged his s
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN - WANTS TO PLAY DADDY
Cassy POVThe whole morning, Caleb attended to the kids. Oakley warmed up to him immediately.I could not blame her. Even before we came here, she would often ask about her father, and she was so vocal against Tony. That clued me in on her stand on meeting her daddy.But looking at Joachim, I could not say he shares his sister’s feelings.He sat beside me the whole breakfast.“Joachim, do you want more?” He asked our child, who simply shook his head in reply.His twin sister makes up for the lack of enthusiasm on his part. Oakley quickly volunteered.“I want more.” Then, she smiled like a cherub to her dad.Watching Caleb, I could not help but smile secretly at the stunned look on his face.He was enamored by his little girl. I could tell by the few interactions he had with her.Well, very few could resist Oakley if she turned on her charming self on the full. This morning, it was switched to full blast. It was amusing to watch Caleb looking rattled at Oakley's every request. “Wate
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT - SURPRISE VISITOR
Inside the car, I did not look back and just sat primly on the back until the cab pulled outside my apartment. After paying him generously, I got out to meet the representative from the car shop.He was waiting in the curb with my newly purchased car.He handed me the necessary documents for the purchase, the car’s key and registration.When he left, I took the wheels and drove it to CB Publishing.The guards stood at attention when he recognized me. As usual, they greeted me courteously and let me pass. I passed by the same receptionist at the reception area. This time, she greeted me with a warm smile.I smiled back, indicating I didn’t take to heart what happened yesterday.Just as I was about to board the elevator, Norma came rushing out.“Cassy! You are here!” She grabbed me by the arm and drew me inside the waiting elevator. She must have been expecting me, and the guard tipped her off my arrival.“I heard about the incident yesterday. Why didn’t you tell me?” She asked aft

I was seething by the time I went inside my car. With my hands on the steering wheel, I backed out of the parking lot without checking on Caleb’s car, not caring whether he was following as he said. I drove fast, too. Fifteen minutes, and I was already parking my car on the school grounds. I went out of my car and walked the short distance to the twins’ classroom to wait outside. Joachim was the first student to get out of his class. He walked leisurely to my side. “Where is your sister?” I asked. He motioned in the direction of their classroom. “She'll be out in a moment.” True enough, a quick look at the door opening showed his little sister getting out of the classroom. She was struggling with her backpack, but a tall man strode in her direction to help her. He took her backpack from her. Oakley smiled when she identified the man. “Daddy! You came!” Everyone around us gasped when they heard Oakley address the man. There were some buzzing sounds when they started to w
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER SIXTY - OF LOCKS AND LOSING CONTACT
Cassy POV I started to shake my head when Caleb assisted the two kids in the back passenger, surprised he was ready with child seats for them.That impressed me. I thought the billionaire playboy would not know anything about them and would come in unprepared.Then, he closed the door and opened the front passenger door for me. That pulled me from my trance.I shook my head, intending to get to my car.I changed my mind; I did not want to ride with them.Their talk about family and the mansion where Caleb and I used to live opened a can of worms I would rather keep unopened.Then, I heard Wax and Oaks calling out to me from the backseat.“Mommy!”“Mommy, get in!”“The kids are waiting. Do not disappoint them.” Caleb whispered in my ears.The reminder made me change my mind.I hurriedly got inside Caleb’s car so as not to give myself another chance to change it again.Caleb bent to assist me with the seatbelt, but I grabbed it from him. “I can do it,” I said in a slightly harsh voic
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE - GETTING HIS WAY
Cassy POVCaleb played with the kids after dinner.Oakley was in seventh heaven when she learned that her father would be tucking them to bed.“Why can’t you sleep here?”I overheard Oakley ask while they were climbing the stairs to their room.Caleb's eyes darted in my direction, but I didn’t rescue him from Oakley’s question.It was his choice that we ended up like this in the first place.I let him parry Oakley’s incessant questions for a change until he ran out of excuses. Let him deal with his daughter.When they were out of my sight, I finished tidying the kitchen.I scraped off food from the dishes before loading them on the washer.Then, I packed the excess food and put a thin plastic wrap to cover it and reheat it the next day.Then, I started checking our stocks and went to the adjoining pantry, where I found an assortment of beverages.One particular beverage caught my attention, made with the best Californian grapes. It came in a box with two wine glasses.I took the wine
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO - MR. AND MRS. KINGSTON
Cassy POVI was seething in the car while Caleb grinned like a Cheshire cat.“Why are you smiling, Daddy?” Oakley asked curiously at her father’s happy mood.I retreated into the far side of the car. My face almost kissed the window, trying to put as much distance between us in the cramped space.On the other hand, Caleb was smiling.Who wouldn’t when they got their way, after all?Caleb did a fast one on me, taking advantage of my sleep-hazy brain to trick me into agreeing with him about Mrs. West.I already declined the earlier offer of Mrs. West’s services because I d

BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED TEN - BILLIONAIRE EX WON ME BACK
Cassy POVCaleb spun me around in excitement, and I squealed in delight. When the children noticed what we were doing, they abandoned the toys scattered in the playpen to run toward us. “What’s happening?” Oakley asked.From the background, I could hear my mom tell her. “You and Joachim will have a baby brother or a sister soon.” “Oh!” Oakley sounded surprised.By this time, Caleb had already put me down, and I was watching the enraptured emotion on my little girl’s face. A grin worked its way to her face, making her more beautiful in my eyes. She took her brother’s hand excitedly. “We are going to have a baby! Yay! I am going to be a big sister!” Oakley and Joachim jumped at the news. They were clapping, and so were everyone around us. Even Rosalie Kingston Pierre looked at us with a wistful smile. Greg and James, Caleb’s friends, proposed a toast.“Congratulations on the baby!” They both shouted and tapped their glasses with spoons.It created tinkling sounds that gave off
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
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHT - A DAY OF SURPRISES
Caleb POVWe started milling around, stopping by some tables to talk to some parents. From the happiness wreathed on the children’s faces, I could see that everyone was having a good time. My two best friends arrived, and I immediately snaked an arm around Cassy’s waist when I noticed Greg smiling at her. I still hadn’t forgotten what he told me before - that he had a crush on my wife. 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. Martin Crest, Cole Higgs, and John Collins came in one after the other, bearing boxes of gifts for the twins. When Joach

Her little hand started caressing my face.“Thank you, Daddy! I love you!” Oakley declared.My shoulders started to shake. I don’t know what I did before to deserve these children, but I was so happy.“I love you, too, Oakley. You, Mommy and Joachim, are Daddy’s treasures.” I admitted and realized that my voice sounded guttural, even to my ears.I looked at Cassy and saw her smiling through her tears.I don’t think I will ever

Dad helped him, too.They both ran to the door, trying to open it. They both jumped, hands touching the knob, but since they were not tall enough, they could not turn the knob open.
