Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Tony POV
After the two orderlies transferred Tory to her suite, I thanked them and closed the door.
I sat beside Tory on her bed, careful not to press on her but very much wanting the nearness to assuage the need in my heart.
I held her hand – the one without the IV drip - enclosed it with both of mine and watched the pallor on her face. It has not receded until now.
Her eyes were puffy from too much crying.
“Ung…” She whimpered, and I quickly patted her hand to offer comfort.
Fear still engulfs my heart until now. There was a

Tony POVTory slapped my hand away after she delivered those words that rocked my world.She said it with so much finality that it left me in despair.I never claimed to be a good person. I had my heart broken in the past and broke hearts in the process, including the heart of this woman before me. But I never felt so much desperation and regret as I feel now.“Tory…” In a fit of desolation, the only thing I did was call her name softly.I closed my eyes, trying to control my raging heart. Fear has overtaken my senses, but I cannot force Tory. I can only make her see my point.

Cassy POV“Adam, where have you been? I have been trying to call you, but your phone’s off.”“Sorry, something came up.”There was an odd inflection in his tone that made me nervous.“Did something happen? Tory? Where is she?”Adam sighed. “I think I overdid it. Tory is in the hospital. She might lose the baby.” I heard him groan and felt scared.Adam was never like this. He was my bulwark, my strength. But now, I could feel like he was feeling lost.

Cassy POV“Adam, you know you can't. You do not love each other. Marrying Tory would only create a bigger mess.”“But I want to take care of Tory.” His insistence was admirable, especially when he juts his chin like Joachim.“Do you love her?”Adam was silent. He sighed, and I understood the turmoil churning inside him.“You know I don't believe in love. Not anymore. I don't trust any woman either, except Mom, you and Tory.”I bit my lip at the bitterness in my brother's voice. I knew how he had been hurt in the past, and
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTY-NINE - COINCIDENCE OR WHAT?
Adam POVI watched the twins as they ran to their parents and smiled. I was about to follow them, but then my phone rang.“Jared. Sorry for not taking your calls earlier.”“Sir, I sent you a document.”“What about?”“Former Mrs. Kingston, mother of Mr. Caleb Kingston, went online and debunked Mr. Caleb’s claims about his family. She said that the only daughter-in-law the Kingstons recognized was Amanda Hayes.”I was silent for a while.“How’s it going? Was it bedlam on the internet?”“No, sir.Mr. Caleb imposed the necessary measures. I just wanted you to know in case.”I nodded. “Good job, Jared. Thanks.”When I ended the call, I watched my sister and her husband interact with each other and their children. I saw that they were taking the recent complication calmly and realized that their relationship was now on solid ground.It was all because Caleb tried his best to win her back. He let Cassy heal and then came back to win her over.“Daddy! I see Grandpa and Grandma!” I hear

I am sure of it.She must have wound up on the news that Caleb was here.If she aims to make another problem for my sister and her husband, then she had better think about aborting her plans because I won't let her.I will not let Amanda Hayes break my sister’s newfound happiness.It was also then that I dropped any intention of marrying Tory.Cassy is right.Let Tony and Tory settle their differences within them. I would only muddle the situation if I came right between them.

Adam POVWithin seconds, Amanda was lying on the bed while I hovered over her. Our hot breaths mingle.My hand lifted and clutched the neckline of my shirt from the back, hurriedly pulling it off me, wanting skin-to-skin contact.Amanda must have felt the same. She was pulling at the buttons of her dress when my hands replaced hers.“Don’t.”Confusion swirled in her green eyes when she looked at me.And I was quick to explain. “Never undress for a man. Make a man undress you.”Color filled her cheeks, eliciting a satisfied smile from me.Slowly, I tackled one button after another. My eyes widened every time I uncovered her skin until her pink brassiere peeked out from my view. It barely covered her twin globes and I stared at the swell of her bre*sts remembering the last time I saw her like this – bared for my satisfaction.Without conscious thought, my hand lifted as I let the tips of my fingers roam over her nude alabaster skin.Heaven!I took a heavy sigh, trying to rein in my em

Adam POVWe ended the call. Oakley said goodbye and made smooching sounds. I laughed despite the predicament I was in, ignoring my blue b*lls.If my friends were to get wind of this, they would be laughing their heads off.I was so near, but then Oakley’s bad timing for a call c*ck blocked me.I walked back to the bed, conscious of Amanda's stare. She was studying my body. I stood proud, noting the admiration in her eyes.I propped my knees on the bed and crawled to her.“I guess this is it, huh?” She asked, biting her lip.“Sorry, I have to leave,” I told her regretfully, but she was one step ahead.
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDFRED FIFTY-THREE - WHY WON'T YOU STAY WITH ME?
Tony POVStay.That was what Adam said, but how can I when Tory kept pushing me away?One big word, but why is it so hard?“Is the water too hot?” I asked after Tory took a sip from the glass of warm water I got from her.She shook her head but did not say anything more. She was just looking into space. I have wanted to be inside her brain to know what she was thinking.She cupped the mug with both hands and subconsciously ran her thumb over the side.Finally, she looked up to me.“Why are you still here?”I shrugged my shoulders.“You are here.” I pointed out, hoping to get a reaction from her, but she did not respond.She stared long into the mug like she was investigating its contents. Then, she lifted her head to look back at me.“You have patients to attend to. Why stay here with me? You are busy. Get busy and do your thing.” She was trying to shoo me away, but I held my ground.I promised I would stay, and I will. Even though Tory pushes me every time.“I already applied for

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

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
