"You are almost thirty, yet you are acting like a child. If you do not want her, why get her pregnant the second time?”
“You could have used protection. You were no longer nineteen. You are twenty-nine. You should have grown some sense by now.”
“But what did you do?
“Don't come running to me if one day when some man snaps Tory up and makes her his queen because she deserves it and more.”
It was the first time my best friend talked about Tory that way. I never thought he would notice Tory's attractiveness because Adam had always been hung up on one girl. But now, something in the way he said her name caused an alarm.
“Tory is beautiful, intelligent and successful. She's hot, and she can have any man she wants.”
The knowledge shook me. The fact that my best friend could talk about Tor

She had a disturbed sleep.Without any other thought, I climbed into bed and wrapped my arms around her. She turned to me, and I could hear her soft whimpers.Even in her sleep, she was crying.I want to make Tony grovel. Beating him was not enough.But when he requested to see her, I could not say no. Something in his eyes told me he was hurting, too.I called my brother to check on him and maybe talk some sense into him. Then, I drifted off to sleep.It was a few hours later when my phone rang. It was Caleb.“Hello, sweetheart. How are you and Tory?”Coming from sleep, I was dazed when I sat up and leaned on the board to talk to him.I checked on Tory. “She’s still asleep.

She was now sleeping soundly.I looked at the time.She already missed dinner, but I did not have the heart to wake her up. She needed sleep more than anything. I lay on the bed beside her, and that was when I started to miss Caleb. Still, I do not want to leave Tory alone in our room. Her emotional state bothered me. It felt to me like yesterday her dam burst, and it was the first time she let herself cry so much.I tossed and turned on my bed, finding it hard to get to sleep.I yanked the pillow from under my head and pulled it to my nose to take a whiff. My nose twitched, searching for the manly scent that I had been used to.But it did not comfort me like his presence would.Unable to control my yearning for my husband, I crept out of bed, careful not to disturb Tory.On tiptoe, I walked to the door.The lock loosened, and I stepped out eager

Honest? You look like h*ll."Tory's puffy eyes were a dead giveaway."But don’t worry, I already fixed the guy for you. I gave him two powerful punches tonight. Consider it as having your grievances avenged.”Adam sounded flippant, but I knew it was not easy.Tony must have broken the last shred of control my brother has to arrive at that point. Adam is the most patient and understanding man I know.He never judges and would choose to maintain the peace rather than sow discord.He saw the food laid out on the table and went to the drawers to get a plate and cutlery for himself.Then, he sat beside Tory.He ladled the soup, put it into

I bided my time, waiting for Adam to leave.It had been hours, but there was no sign of Adam leaving. Until, all the lights inside were turned off, cloaking the house in darkness save by the light from the streetlamp and the moon.Everything is quiet. What Adam said to me earlier sobered me up. What if some man found Tory, and she fell in love with him?I shook my head to erase the image of Tory and our child living happily with another man. No! I cried vehemently!My eyes shot open, and my fingers rubbed that part of my head that got knocked accidentally on the overhead hand grip when my body jerked in sleep.Light permeated the car, and it was then that it dawned on me it was morning.

Oakley's comment snapped me to attention.The little girl hit the nail on the head. I had been asking the same thing.Why is Adam taking Tory away?Last night when he got so angry with me, he said he likes Tory.

He looked like a child whose favorite toy had been taken from him. Now, he was running after them. I didn’t know how this drama would unfold, and I could not wait at how it would play out. Without thinking, I ran after them. Surprise was etched on my face when I saw the disappointed look on Tony. My brother ignored him and took Tory away. “Oh my!” I clamped a hand over my mouth, eyes wide in disbelief. “Are they gone?” I heard Oakley ask in disappointment. “They didn’t even say goodbye,” Oakley added. I watched the dismay that covered her face and hunkered down before her. I wiped her mouth and with it, the cute pout on her lips. “They were in a hurry, Oaks. Don’t worry, they will come back.” “I hope so. Unca Adam said he brought something for me, but he forgot.”“Oh. I am sure he will bring it back next time.” I promise

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

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.
