Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Cassy POV
As usual, when the employees saw us walking together, they would stop to stare.
Automatically, I stepped away from Caleb, but he was faster. He must have guessed my intent when his arm slid off my shoulder before quickly snaking it around my waist to pull me closer, bringing us closer than before.
I turned my head to warn him. Too much PDA could kill.
He responded with a beguiling smile that caused me to lose my breath.
The people around us, mostly girls, had the same reaction as mine because I could hear their collective gasp.
Caleb leaned in to whisper in my ears. “Don’t stare at me too much sweetheart, or I will kiss you here right now.”
Scandalized at the idea, I pressed my lips together, and after throwing him a haughty glare, I stomped away.
Caleb snickered, and his laugh floated around the lobby.
He was still laughing when he caught up with me and snagged my arm.

Cassy POV“You are late!” Oakley demanded when she saw us jogging through the field on the way to their classroom. As Oakley puts it, we were late. Their class had been dismissed fifteen minutes ago, and most of the students were long gone except for a handful whose fetchers had not arrived. Some were in the playground, while others waited on the benches facing the playground. Our children occupy one of the benches.Their teacher sat with them while they waited for us outside. She and her brother were sitting on a bench. Oakley swung her legs back and forth in impatience. After apologizing to their teacher for the inconvenience, we faced our mad daughter to soothe her ruffled nerves.“Sorry honey, we were delayed at the office.” I shot Caleb an accusing look over Oakley’s head, daring him to disagree. If he had not teased me and chased after me all over the house, we would not be this late. Caleb roared back in laughter. The man sure looked happy. Who wouldn’t when he had me i

Cassy POVOur lives were very much okay the past few days.Our relationship improved after that afternoon when Caleb cleared up his secret meeting with Amanda, which spread like wildfire on social media, causing talks about their impending marriage.The issue had blown over, and everything was quiet in a matter of hours.But I have a sneaky feeling that Caleb did something to take down the sites that posted their pictures online because when I tried to search for them again, they were no longer searchable.It takes a lot of money to do that and a good PR team, but I was glad it happened.At least, we got the issue of Amanda covered. After that, it was an idyllic time for us. We were getting to know each other again.Every night, Caleb takes me out on a date. When he said he wanted to earn me, I did not expect that he would woo me this time.But I kind of like the feeling of being pursued. Our date nights were always magical, and the kids would always jump up and down when we left for
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED ONE - EMERGENCY AT SCHOOL
Cassy POVThe pounding sounds on the door resonated in my head like drums beaten by unskilled drummers.Dug!Dug!Dug!“Mommy! Daddy! Open the door!”Coupled with the shrill cries of our daughter, they ricocheted into my ears, creating a banging noise that made my head hurt.“Ugh! It’s Oakley!” I mumbled groggily, arms reaching for the pillow to cover my ears from the blaring sound outside our door.I turned to my side, head under the pillow, when I felt strong arms snaked through my waist to pull me to a man’s body, Caleb’s body.We snuggled together amidst the riot outside our room until Mrs. West intervened. She coaxed the kids to leave with her.“But we are going to be late for school.”I heard Oakley protesting in a loud voice.“Your Mommy and Daddy came in late last night. Let them rest. Roger will take you to school.” Mrs. West soothed the kids in her gentle voice.It worked because I heard the fading sound of their footsteps.Finally, there was some peace.I scooted closer t

Cassy POVSince it was lunchtime, Caleb and I treated the kids out.We passed by the lobby and instantly got the attention of employees and non-employees alike in our little parade.There was a collective gasp when they noticed the children with us.As usual, Caleb carried Oaks in his arms while he held my hand using his other hand.I, in turn, used my free hand to hold my son's little hand as we moved along the large reception area.Oakley waved at anyone who dared to stare, and they often rewarded her with an enthusiastic wave back and doting smiles.Others gushed at her cute expressions, commenting on how charming she looked while her brother walked stoically by my side.At the car, the kids ignored us and got busy when Wax brought out the Rubik’s cube his father gave him last month for Valentine's.While they were busy tinkling with the cube, Caleb maneuvered the car out of the parking lot, and in no time, we were cruising along the highway.Sometimes, I would hear Oaks singing a

Cassy POV“I meant it just as you heard it.” Caleb’s mother replied with a haughty glare in my direction.The challenge in her voice was unmistakable.She was in for a fight.I expected as much. Caleb's mother would not allow anyone to upstage her. She always has to win every argument.I have known Mrs. Kingston for a long time. She is a proud woman, set on her ways, and her opinions are always resolute.I learned early on that she rarely changed her mind about a person or something. Once she makes an opinion, no one can change it for her.So many times in the past, I tried reaching out to her to smooth our relationship, but she spurned my attempts until I came to a point where I did not care anymore. It's useless.We were eyeing each other contemptuously when I heard Caleb calling out from outside.“Sweetheart, what is taking you and the kids long?”I watched the expression on Mrs. Kingston's face change from anger to surprise at the sight of her son.I, on the other hand, felt t

Cassy POVCaleb did not follow us when the kids and I walked out. He remained where he was, piercing his mother with an angry glare.I wanted to call him to follow us. Call me crazy, but at the back of my head, I also wanted to see how he was going to defend us from the nasty accusations his mother hurled ruthlessly at us.Walking the narrow corridor, Caleb and his mother's voices reverberated to my ears. They were now engaged in a shouting match.“Son, divorce that b*tch.”“You better stop this nonsense if you do not want me to forget that you are my mother.”“I won't stop until I shake you off your delusions. That woman does not love you. She was only using you. How dare she foist her children on you.”It hurts to hear her false accusations. But I was glad to know that Caleb was on our side.“If you want proof, my lawyer has the DNA test result. He will get in touch with you later.”This revelation shocked the h*ll out of me!He submits the kids to a DNA test without informing m

Caleb POVCassy’s upper body lifted.She then turned her head over her shoulder to check on me.“Why are you crying?”“I am happy.”She twisted her body to turn around. We were now facing each other.Then, she wiped my tears using the tips of her fingers. She was doing it so tenderly and meticulously that I had to sigh when she retracted her hands and put them to her sides.“You are becoming a crybaby.”She told me after a while.“Yeah. I can’t help it.” I said, agreeing with her.At the same time, I was wiping my face with the back of my hand.Again, Cassy turned her back on me. She pulled my arms to hug her from behind.“Rest. We have an early day tomorrow.” She told me before settling in my arms and burrowing the back of her head in the crook of my neck.Accidentally, I took a whiff and smelled her fragrant hair. The scent calmed me, knowing she was not going anywhere and was resting by my side.I heard her snoring softly and knew that she had fallen asleep.As for me, sleep elu

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

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
