Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Cassy POV
I was seething in the car while Caleb grinned like a Cheshire cat.
“Why are you smiling, Daddy?” Oakley asked curiously at her father’s happy mood.
I retreated into the far side of the car. My face almost kissed the window, trying to put as much distance between us in the cramped space.
On the other hand, Caleb was smiling.
Who wouldn’t when they got their way, after all?
Caleb did a fast one on me, taking advantage of my sleep-hazy brain to trick me into agreeing with him about Mrs. West.
I already declined the earlier offer of Mrs. West’s services because I d

Cassy POVThe nerve of the man!I looked at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes, but why can’t I believe him?Caleb spun so many lies in the past that I never trusted any of his words.“When we divorced, I already accepted that my children would grow up without their father and I, a husband. Now, you wanted to rectify your mistakes and rebuild our family as if those three years never mattered. What about me? What about all the things I endured in the last three years?”“I moved on. I no longer need you.”I saw his face twitch. Undoubtedly, I hurt him with my words, but we have to set our boundaries here. Caleb is acting too close for my comfor
BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE - SOBER UP
Caleb POV “Don’t chop my head off!” James said while we were having a few rounds of beer in my bar. I already sent Cassy and the kids home after a two-day stay at the resort, but I was restless and anxious. When Greg invited us for a drink, I was about to decline but later changed my mind. Maybe, a few drinks is what I needed to clear my head. But hearing him talk about Cassy made me see red. “Calm your t*ts man. I was just impressed with your wife, nothing more. Cassy was truly savage out there, even you know it.” James added. We were talking about Cassy’s marvelous wakeboarding skill back at the resort and James’ reaction to it. I hate to admit it, but James was right. I remember when the kids and I started looking for her, and James told us that she enrolled in a wakeboarding class, I was in so much hurry. My heart raced wildly in my chest. I thought she was doing it recklessly out of anger. Panic and fear mingled as I rushed out, kids in tow. I ran to the beach, bu

Cassy POVI just left the children’s room and accidentally looked at the time on the wall clock at the end of the hallway.The long hand was pointed at the number ten, while the shorter hand was just past the number twelve.I got down expecting to see Caleb, but he was nowhere in sight.I sighed, knowing he already left without informing me.As if by tacit understanding, after we arrived from our two-day trip from his resort, Caleb attended to the kids while I stayed in my bedroom.I did not manage to go out of my room to join them for dinner. I got busy with my laptop reading all the notes Norma sent me last week for the annual investors&

It could not help from beating wildly in my chest.It almost hurt.“Happy Valentine’s Day, baby.” Caleb strode quickly to us and knelt in front of his daught

My breath hitched.I vaguely remember Tory bringing a bouquet into my hospital room when I first came to.Before she came in, there was a noise, and it sounded so much like two people arguing.It did not matter back then, but now….“Adam threw you out, didn’t he?”Caleb nodded.“He learned that I paid the hospital a hefty donation to allow me access to the delivery room.” He laughed awkwardly as if the reminder embarrassed him.I grappled with the new information.He was there.The realization hit me so hard

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

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.
