BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO - CHANGES
Cassy POV“You’re becoming a kissing monster,” I said in reproach when Caleb pulled back from our kiss. “Because you are that kissable!” He said, touching the tip of my nose with his index finger. I giggled, and he held me for a second longer in his arms before releasing me. The grin never left his face, and it was such a wonderful sight!Caleb was always serious. Even at the beginning of our affair six years ago, when I used to work for him, I never saw Caleb this open with his feelings. And he was never this happy.I love seeing the changes in him. Sometimes, I wondered if something happened to him during our three-year separation. The change was so drastic. A complete 180-degree turn. But what am I complaining about? There might be some glitches in our relationship now, but I think it could very well work out in the end as long as we both strive hard to make it work.The kids were still busy with the activity books when we emerged from the walk-in closet. “Wax, Oaks, let
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-THREE - HAPPY TEARS
Cassy POVCaleb stroked the rubber band he put on my ring finger earlier with the tip of his finger. “I was surprised Oakley did not comment about it during breakfast.” He commented. I smiled when he took my hand, intertwined our fingers, and placed it on his thigh.“Your hands feel clammy,” Caleb commented.I pressed my lips together and nodded. We were already inside the van that would bring us to the courthouse. We were sitting on the front with Caleb manning the steering wheel. From time to time, C would release my hand when he needed it for the gear stick. When the van stopped at a red light, Caleb leaned close to whisper in my ear. “Are you worried?” I shook my head. “I had long ago accepted that your mother and I would never have any relationship besides being in-laws. I was more worried about the kids and my parents’ reaction if your mother starts acting up.” I whispered back. Caleb squeezed my hands. “Don't worry about Wax and Oaks. The courthouse has an indoor p
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR -ROSALIE KINGSTON PIERRE
Cassy POVI could not help feeling emotional at the scene.I never had the chance to get to know Judge Kingston.He was never present in Caleb’s life before, but I could feel his sincerity in wanting to make amends, and meeting the children was the first start.I also could not entirely put the blame on his father. Caleb, as I understand, continuously refused to have any sort of relationship with his parents after they divorced.Maybe it was his way of venting out his anger.I don’t know. We hadn’t talked about it.Nonetheless, it was a sight to witness! Judge Kingston looked dotingly at Oakley when she pulled away from the embrace.“Daddy cried when he saw me at the airport, too.” Oakley volunteered.I looked at Caleb whose ears were red when he heard wha
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE - THE CONFRONTATION: ROSALIE KINGSTON'S WAY
Cassy POVThe staff guided Rosalie Kingston Pierre to the chair directly opposite Caleb and me.Her gaze swept on me frostily. Her look made me feel a little stuffy inside. Caleb, all the while, kept stroking my ring finger with the rubber band as a quiet assurance. I watched as Mrs. Kingston placed her well-manicured hands atop the table, one after another, and pinned Caleb with a glare. “I thought you don’t want me near you. Why summon me here?” There was so much hurt in her voice that I remembered what Judge Kingston said to Oakley earlier. Rosalie loves her son. Caleb’s body became rigid. The hands that gripped mine hardened in tension. “If it were up to me, I do not want anything to do with you after the stunt you pulled, but my in-laws wanted this meeting,” Caleb explained and gestured to my parents. “What for? So, you can gloat?” Rosalie cast a frosty glare at my mother, who looked taken aback by the unexpected attack. My mother clung to my father’s hand, and her reacti

BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN - PAIN SHOULD MAKE US BETTER, NOT BITTER

BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-NINE - STOP THE HIDE AND SEEK
Amanda POVWhen we got off our high, I turned to him to ask languidly.“I thought you left for work?”Adam, since the day he kidnapped me at the airport, had been coming home to me every night. He spends the night and makes love to me without saying anything. By morning, he would leave.We didn’t get back. He never implied anything to clarify what was happening between us, but I was hoping and dreading it, at the same time.Instead of replying to my question, Adam grunted and rolled off from me. Then, he settled on his back.I watched him longingly and felt a pinprick of pain in my chest.So near, yet so far.Adam is like my moon. He was so near. I could almost touch him, but when I reached out my arms, he was unattainable. So far.Adam again rolled on the bed. Now, he was lying face down on the bed. His hand moved to my chest.

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
