BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR - HOOK, LINE AND SINKER
Cassy POVI looked in Tory’s direction to confirm. She only nodded shyly before looking down, but not before I saw the usual sadness I gleaned from her eyes when she looked at Tony every time she knew he was not looking.It was pathetic.My friend looked vulnerable, like any moment she would snap, but then the production coordinator clapped his hand to get our attention.When Tory snapped her head back, she was all smiles. It made me think that the desolation I saw flashed before her eyes was just a figment of my mind.I shook my head.I could not be mistaken.Tory and I have been friends since we were young, and apart from that brief moment when she dropped out of school when we were sixteen, we had been inseparable.“Ms. Brent, Mrs. Kingston?” The coordinator led us outside the house.It took me by surprise when I found that our gazebo had been transformed into a magical place.So, this is where Caleb chose to do the interview. It was a good choice. I nodded in my head my silent app

Cassy POVI squeezed his hand to tell him that I appreciated the honesty. All the while Tory gazed at us, a soft expression laced her face.Caleb lifted my hand and kissed it.Tory looked away; her expression was one of wistfulness.I followed the direction her eyes went, and I found her gazing at Tony and the children.A wistful smile lingered on her face as she focused her glazed eyes on them.I do not know what Tory thinks while watching Joachim and Oakley interact with Tony.The kids maintain a wonderful relationship with Tony being their godfather. He was also patient with them and truly liked them.Then, I caught Tory gripping her hands together. I don't know what was on her mind, but I decided my best friend and I needed to have a heart-to-heart talk now. She was hurting, and knowing she had no one to back her up made me want to hug her tight.Tory had been estranged from her parents since she returned from her unannounced vacation to Canada when we were sixteen. She lived of

Cassy POV“Let’s talk,” I told her and saw the color drain from Tory’s face.“Cassy…”“Don’t Cassy me. I had been trying to keep my distance, respecting your privacy. I can not force you to share your secrets with me, but I could see you hurting. I have to step in.”Tory looked down. I can not pin her with my gaze. But before she concealed her face from me, I was able to see the swirling emotions in her eyes.Her body stiffened, and it was like she was erecting a wall to surround her – shielding her from my hawk-like eyes.I gazed at the top of her head, trying to get into her.Tory had to snap out of that perfect shell she surrounded herself with. She had to cry.“You are my best friend, Tory, and seeing you hurting wanted me to scratch Tony’s eyes. I knew he was the reason for the pain you were carrying over your shoulder for years, and I want you to let it out.“I won’t judge. I won’t criticize. I am only here to listen, and if you need to cry, then you can use my shoulder.” I t

Cassy POV“So, I tried tracking her down. My father put her up for adoption. Even when I was still pregnant with her, my father kept harping about her existence tarnishing his name. He wanted me to abort the baby.“He said he was giving me a clean slate to start over with my life.A baby would only complicate my life.How can I take care of the baby when I was just a child myself?“But I could not do it. That is my baby.“I told him I aborted the baby and went somewhere far away. But my father tracked me down. I was due to give birth when he found out.“When I gave birth, they induced me to sleep. And when I woke up, my father said the baby died a few minutes after it was born. He then presented me with a lifeless child, but I did not believe him. My child was not dead. It couldn’t be dead.”Tory stared off into space.My heart went out to her.She looked lifeless.I remembered that night eight years ago, and something clicked in my brain. “When was her birthday?”“Third of November

Cassy POVCaleb winced. He noted the venom in my eyes and took my hand.“I am not your enemy. Why are you shooting me down?”It was my turn to look contrite. “I am sorry.” I turned my head to the second-floor landing and saw Tony standing there, hands in his front pockets, staring at me.“Why you!”I marched up to him, hands clenched into fists.Stopping short when I got near him, I raised my fists to pommel into his chest.I was so enraged.“You good-for-nothing a*sh*le! You’re selfish! Ruthless!” I hurled every derogatory w

Tony POV“I knew I would find you here.” I looked up from the glass of vodka I was sipping from to find the owner of that voice.I snorted when I found him standing behind me.“Did your sister send you?”Adam nodded before taking the bar stool next to me. “Yeah. She told me about what happened this morning.”“Your sister hates me.” I groaned and took another swig from my glass.Adam signaled the bartender to serve him the same drink, and while waiting, his eyes pierced me with a thoughtful gaze.“Are you really more concerned about my sister’s feelings, or are you still in denial?”My forehead creased.I put the glass down on the table to turn sideways and face Adam.“What am I going to deny? Cassy has always been special to me. I have loved her since she was a kid.”Adam snorted. “Such devotion.” The sarcasm was not lost on me.I glared at him. “You knew me. For years, it has always been Cassy. I never looked at any girl except her.”“Yeah, but you b*nged her best friend.”That l

Tony POV"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

Cassy POVAfter Tony left, I went back to the master’s bedroom and closed the door behind me.I padded to the bed and just watched my best friend. Tory was frowning in her sleep. 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 must have been too tired.”“Do you want me to send you dinner, or are you joining us?”I decided to join them so I could check o

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

Caleb POVWarmth filled my heart as I listened to Oakley divulge their wish for everyone to hear.My chest felt stuffy when I learned that their wish was me.Even though they did not know me or had no idea about me, my kids longed for me like I longed for them the past years.“I am happy, too,” I responded before grabbing them to kiss the top of their heads.Oakley climbed into my lap. 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

Dad helped him, too.They both ran to the door, trying to open it. They both jumped, hands touching the knob, but since they were not tall enough, they could not turn the knob open.
