BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE - WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO?
Tory POVTony followed my hands. “Are you hurt?” He sounded alarmed, and I almost laughed at his expression. He looked constipated. I looked at my hands, slowly caressing my stomach, and shook my head. “No. I just want to assure myself that this is real. We are going to look for our first child.” I told him wistfully. Tony nodded. He seemed to understand my feelings even if I did not tell him. He stands up. “Rest. I will just be outside. If you need anything, tell me so I can get it for you.” He walked through the door and was gone.When he left, I received a call from Cassy. I picked it up. “Cassy!” There was a momentary silence before I heard Cassy’s voice. “You sounded happy. Did something good happen?” She probed. I launched into a monologue, telling her about Tony and I’s plan to look for our child and maybe reconnect with her. “That’s good Tory. I am glad you told Tony.” There was another pause. “So...How are you and Tony? Did you patch things up?” I bit m
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIXTY - SORRY, MOMMY!
Cassy POV"Who were you talking to?"I turned around abruptly after hearing Caleb inquire. As usual, my heart did little flip-flops at the sight of him. He's wearing casual clothes. The way the shirt clung to his body, defining his broad shoulders and flat abs, makes me want to run my hands on them. Thankfully, the kids were in attendance, distracting me from my lewd thoughts. They jumped from the couch to run to their father. "Daddy!""Daddy!" Joachim and Oakley cried excitedly at the same time. They were like two whirlpools of energy slamming Caleb's muscular body. Caleb held his arms sideward to catch them, eliciting giggles and cackles from the two. "What were you up to?" He asked them, pulling them up toward his chest to hug them. "We were talking to Aunt Tory just now. She was out of the hospital, and we were going to see her tomorrow." Oakley reported. Caleb put them down when they squirmed in his arms. Then, he put his hands on top of Oakley's head, rubbing it ge
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE - OUTSMARTED BY A THREE-YEAR OLD
Cassy POVI saw my mother’s pupils dilate as her eyes widened in shock when she saw me kneeling on the floor and resting my hands on her lap. I used to do this when I was a kid. I was a recalcitrant child, often disobeying my mother when she wanted me to act like a girl, insisting that I should be one of the boys and following after my big brother, much to our mother’s horror and dismay. Ellen Burke wanted a lady for a daughter, but what can I do? I love being with my brother and his friends. We often climb trees, play in the sun, and hose each other down to cool off on hot summer days. She finally gave up when I was often lonely, spending time alone in our mansion. “Sorry, Mrs. Burke.” I heard Caleb say.To my astonishment, Caleb joined me. He knelt beside me with a pleading expression on his face. He squeezed my hand, assuring me that we were both in this together. “What are you two doing?” Ellen Burke gathered herself and exclaimed in shock. She wanted to leave her seat, b
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-TWO - SERIOUS TALK
Cassy POVEnraged, Mother scowled while she walked briskly toward Adam. When she reached him, she repeatedly smacked him on the chest out of anger. “How could you use my darling girl on me? I could have a heart attack knowing I had offended my favorite granddaughter!” She muttered while she peppered Adam with hits and blows from her small fists. Adam cried in surprise and cackle with laughter, but he did not dodge Mom’s attacks. “Ouch! Mom! It hurts!” He complained, but he was smiling. It was like Adam was enjoying Mom’s anger. He allowed her to beat him, pretending it hurt, but in truth, it didn’t. He had too much muscle to cushion him from our mom’s feeble blows. But of course, his cry alarmed the children. They run to rescue their favorite Uncle!“Unca Adam!” “Unca Adam!’ Joachim and Oakley cried simultaneously. “Grandma! Stop! You’ll hurt yourself.” Oakley wedged her little body between my mother and her Uncle Adam, causing the former to stop abruptly for fear that

Cassy POV“I am sorry, Mom,” I said, walking near her, leaving Caleb by the door.Mother looked at my father, who cleared his throat. The action distracted me as my gaze went from Mom to Dad.They were making cute little faces with each other like they were on to something. A secret maybe?I had no time to dwell on that when Father beckoned to us to sit on the couches lining the children’s beds.“Sit here.” He told us.I took my seat, and not long after, the cushion beside me sagged under Caleb’s weight.He held my hand when he joined me.The action gave me extra courage. It was a silent message that we are in this together.Caleb’s thumb caressed the indent between my thumb and forefinger. The action was soothing and did something to my insides that distracted me.“I am sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Burke. I am taking responsibility for what happened. You should blame me, not Cassy. I had been too eager to advertise to the whole world about my family that I neglected the most important people

Cassy POVAfter the talk, we had our dinner. As usual, the kids’ chatter filled the table. It was lively and messy, but it was wonderful.I was looking at my family - my parents, brother, children, and Caleb; and felt gladness fills my heart.Despite the non-acceptance from Caleb’s mother, I can say that everything is perfect.I already accepted years ago that Caleb’s mom and I wouldn’t be enjoying a good relationship.

BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE - YOU MAKE ME HAPPY
Cassy POVCaleb threw me on the bed. I let out a shriek and a giggle. He followed by diving onto the bed, landing straight on my body, but he was careful with his weight. He supported his weight with his arms propped up on the bed while our bodies connected. "Sheez!" I saw him shiver. Goosebumps popped on the skin of his arm. I was laughing, lifting my head in invitation. Caleb's eyes darkened. "You are a w*tch, sweetheart. I couldn't explain what you did to me. So addicting." He said, shaking his head in confusion. "Was it a good thing or a bad thing?" I asked dubiously and compounded it with a peck on the tip of his nose. He groaned. "Kiss me!" He challenged. I gladly obliged. I lifted my head, pressed my lips to his waiting mouth, and undulated my body so our lower half bodies pressed tighter. A growl escaped Caleb's lips, cueing me on the state of his control. He grabbed the back of my head and smashed our lips together. I moaned, prodding him to deepen the kiss.
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-SIX - THE MORNING AFTER
Caleb POVI woke up to the incessant ringing of my phone. I took it and was surprised that it came from the house. “Hello?” “Daddy!” It was Oakley. I immediately put the phone away from my ears. Oakey’s voice was so loud I thought I lost an eardrum. With the shock to my ears, all traces of sleep left me. I was instantly alerted. “Yes, baby?” “Where’s mommy? Aren’t we leaving early? We are going to visit Aunt Tory?” I looked at my wife sleeping peacefully by my side. She was lying on the bed, her face burrowed on the pillow, and her long hair made a neat curtain on her naked back. Instantly, tenderness crawled slowly from my heart to my being. I don’t know how to explain it, but I always thank the Lord every day for this second chance. My expression soured when I realized what I had to do that morning. “Mommy’s still asleep, baby. Can you wait for a while?” Oakley sounded disappointed. “But it’s already late. We already ate our breakfast without you.” My chronic complai

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.

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.
