BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE - I HATE YOU, CALEB KINGSTON
Cassy POVThe next morning, I heard a commotion from outside, prompting me to wake up. There was a shouting match, and the mention of my name forced me out of bed. I hurriedly padded through the floor and went to the window, drawing the drapes back to get a glimpse outside.My eyes widened when I saw my ex-husband calling out for me. He looked unkempt, unlike the usual pristinely groomed Caleb Kingston I know. “Cassy. I know you are here. Please, let us talk.” Desperation filled his voice. Adam’s friends held him back. There were four men, including my brother, and he was only one. I was surprised he came in alone. With his money and connections, I think he could have mobilized an army to face my brother’s wrath. But he didn’t.I sighed. Caleb Kingston could be stupid sometimes. Didn’t he realize that he was outnumbered? What if Adam's restraint slipped? Caleb would be black and blue after Adam was done with him. “Cassy. Please, let us talk!” “Will you cut it? I told you C

Cassy POVCaleb rubbed his cheek slowly while his eyes locked with mine.“I am not engaged. I cannot be engaged.” He insisted.The quiet insistence in his voice tinged with the seriousness in his eyes, did not calm the storm in my heart. It had the opposite effect.It made me furious!How dare he!I pressed my lips together, fed up with his cruel games.We both knew the score. But if Caleb wanted to continue lying, that is not going to be my problem anymore.I already gave him a chance to thresh out the loose ends between us because I believe we both need closure to heal and move forward. But if Caleb insisted on lying to me. Then, there was nothing I could do about it.I can ditch the closure goodbye and never look back.Today, Caleb made me realize that there is no sense in asking for closure with a man who toyed with your feelings and lied to you all through your married life.It is no longer important for me to close this chapter between us because I figured there was nothing t

Adam POVOnce the door closed on us, I let the anger inside me loose. It had been simmering inside me since we brought Cassy to the hospital. Now that Cassy was being attended to, I could no longer hold myself and vented on Caleb since he was the root cause of all this mess. When he turned around, my fist was already waiting for him. It contacted his face.I watched his face contort at the impact before skidding to the floor. He landed with a hard thud on the wall.Tory cried. Her mouth hung open in shock.Cole and Martin, on the other hand, acted quickly. They grabbed both of my arms to restrain me."What did you do to her, you b*stard!" I spat out, struggling from the grappling hold my friends had on me.The worry never left my face. I knew this b”astard must have said something to agitate Cassy. My sister would not react so strongly if Caleb did not say anything to make her so angry. This is what I had been afraid of. Tony already advised Cassy to take care and as much as pos

Caleb’s POV“We did procedural sedation on her to keep her calm. She was afraid and distressed earlier. She thought she would lose the babies, and it would not help in her condition. We are doing everything we can to save them.” Dr. Tony Richardson explained, but my eyes never ventured away from Cassy’s face.She looked so vulnerable and thin – paper thin – like a wind could blow her off.“And?” I asked.Tony seemed to know what I needed to ask but never dared to voice out because a sudden lump formed in my throat, blocking my vocal cords.He straightened from his seat, hands linked together, placing them on top of a retractable desk before pinning us with his penetrating gaze.

Cassy POVAs I read the news about Caleb's trip outside the country with Amanda Hayes, everything suddenly fell into its right place.I called Tory, and she answered almost immediately.“Babe, how are you?” She was speaking aloud, giving me the idea that she was out of the studio and covering an event.Ignoring her question, I launched into questioning of my own. If there is anyone who can clarify this with me, it is Tory. She would not embellish the truth to caution its impact on my heart. To Tory, a spade is a spade.Besides, my concern is up her alley. "Is it true what the news said? Caleb Kingston left for another country with Amanda Hayes?" My voice trembled, but I quelled the nervousness inside.It was now or never.It's not that I do not trust Adam. I only want someone to collaborate on his story.Tory did not speak.Her silence speaks volumes.The awkward silence stretched before us.“I am sorry. The networks had been going gaga over this news for days. It caused mayhem.”

Cassy POVI paused when I felt a kink in my back and worked on it by stretching my arms upward.My gaze landed on the French windows of my room. It surprised me to learn that it was nearly dusk.The sun has come and gone without me realizing it. That's what happens every time I write. I was like the world fades and time stops.A knock sounded on the door before Tony poked his head in.I put my laptop aside and beckoned for Tony to come in.“You are late?”Tony smiled at my sulking tone. “I had to tie up some loose ends in Glendale. Do not worry. From this day until you give birth, I will be around."

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

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.
