Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife Chapter 23
Thank God Grey's gone, I thought to myself, heaving a deep sigh of relief as I watched his car drive away. Pulling the heavy drapes back into place, I moved across the plush carpet and slumped onto the couch before my weak legs could collapse.After what transpired between us last night, I didn't have the courage to face Grey. I'd been fierce, wild, and drunk. Thinking about how I acted last night made me want to sink into a hole and stay there for the rest of my life.Ashamed of myself, I buried my hot cheeks in my palms as the memories of last night played inside my thoughts. Removing my hands from my face, I fished my phone out of my bag. I forgot to inform Celine about where I went last night. I was sure she was worried, wondering if something bad had happened to me.Biting my lips while guilt ate at me inside, I dialed her number. It was answered on the second ring.“I'm glad you finally called,” Celine said before I could even say hello.“Did something bad happen? Is Mom alrigh

Minutes passed by, and the Chevrolet finally pulled to a stop in front of a cozy coffee shop. The place was famous for its cold and hot beverages. I’d never been there before, though. It was my first time setting foot inside.We entered the upscale door in silence and found a spot to sit down. The table near the glass window was perfect. It was far from other tables, and no one nearby would overhear our conversation.Placing my suitcase on the floor, I lowered my backpack on top of it before I occupied my seat. Natalia took the chair opposite mine.A female server came to our table and asked for our order. Natalia ordered iced coffee, a low-calorie drink I expected her to choose, while I ordered hot chocolate. Natalia paid for the drinks. I insisted on paying for my own, but she refused. She stressed it was her responsibility to pay since she was the one who invited me to the coffee shop. To get things over quickly, I allowed her to pay for it. When her iced coffee and my hot choco

“Lia?” he replied in disbelief. After hearing his voice, there was no doubt in my mind that it was Grey.He watched as Natalia crossed the distance between them. “What are you doing here?” he asked when she came to a stop in front of him.“I missed you.” Natalia flung her arms around him, causing his briefcase to drop to the floor. “I came here straight from the airport because I couldn’t wait to see you.” She pressed her lips to his cheek.Grey remained silent. He just kept looking at Natalia's face without any emotion.“I'm sorry for leaving you, honey. I still love you, and I will leave my career in Paris if you want me to. Just come back to me,” she said in a desperate whisper, brushing her generous breast across his chest.He still hadn’t spoken.Natalia’s fingers curled in his hair. Pressing his head closer, she slammed her lips against his. When her hungry lips devoured his, he didn’t resist. Instead, his muscular arms encircled her narrow waist. Possessively, he pulled her eve

Feeling my weakened legs about to collapse, I slumped onto the wooden bench like a melted candle. As I sat down wearily, a mother carrying her one-year-old child passed in front of me. The mother was wearing a pale yellow sundress, and her hair was carelessly swept into a bun at her nape. The proof of tiring, sleepless nights was visibly written all over her gentle face. Despite that, she was beautiful and content with life alongside her child. Her inner happiness reflected in her face. Each time her gaze dropped to the child's face in her arms, her eyes twinkled with warmth and affection that every devoted mother could relate to.The little boy giggled as the mother affectionately rubbed her nose against his. I both reveled in and ached at the sight.The mother entered the door of an upscale establishment that sold baby clothes. She was out of my sight now, but I was still staring at the spot where I had last seen her.I imagined myself as her, holding Dylan in my arms and hearing h

The cab skidded to a stop in front of the house. The first thing I noticed was that Celine’s car was missing from the driveway. She had parked it beside mine yesterday. It would still be there unless she left the house, which she never did without calling me—unless something important came up.Trying hard to keep calm, I made my way to the door while dragging my suitcase behind me. My heart raced inside my chest as I lifted my hand to knock, but no one came to open it for me.“Calm down, Lily,” I repeated the words in my head like a mantra while I opened the door with the key in my trembling fingers.The house was silent when I entered. Aside from that, it was empty too. The color faded from my face as I ran up the stairs, desperately calling Mom's name and Celine's. There was no response, and I felt as though I’d been robbed of breath when I opened Mom's room and saw she wasn't there either.Despite the panicky tears, I pulled myself together and dialed Celine's number. The ringing w

I hadn’t expected Greyson to come to the house, especially after I had gone to great lengths to avoid him, such as hiding behind the couch like a child playing hide and seek to prevent a confrontation between us. But my efforts were wasted because it seemed the devil had followed my trail and come straight to my home to confront me.I swallowed deeply as I met his intent gaze. His eyes were the prettiest I’d ever seen. But sadly, his beautiful eyes and handsome face had been the reason for my tears. If only I could command myself to stop loving him, then I would have been out of my misery long ago. But telling myself to stop my feelings for him was like telling a fish to climb a tree.Distracted by his gaze, my thoughts scattered in the air. I forced myself to look away, but his eyes held mine captive. For a moment that seemed to last an eternity, I found myself lost in them.“Can we talk?” he finally spoke. His voice was soft and almost gentle. It was the first time he had ever spoke

He paused, then added, “You can sit in my car, and I will drive.” He offered, but I shook my head. I would rather drive my own car than sit next to him in a small space.“I will drive my car. You can follow me if you like.” Finality rang in my tone when I said the words. Grey opened his mouth to argue but changed his mind. “Okay,” he curtly replied, letting me go. Without delay, I took the chance to climb into my car and locked the door. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Grey turn toward where he had parked his car. With a quick, long stride, he reached it and climbed inside.I secured my seatbelt before turning the ignition on. The engine roared to life, and I maneuvered the car onto the highway. As expected, Grey’s car trailed behind me.The hospital where Mom was admitted was a thirty-minute drive away from the house, but in less than twenty minutes, I reached the hospital. After parking my car in the parking area, I clambered out and skittered toward the expansive building.Grey

I took a seat beside Mom and held her frail fingers on my own. Seeing her like this broke my heart. “Please recover fast, Mom. We still have to celebrate your birthday next week,” I told her. I wanted to cry, but I didn’t shed a tear, though. Crying is a sign of weakness, and I didn't want Mom to know how weak I was feeling right now.Behind my back, I could feel Grey watching me. He remained quiet as he did so. After a moment that seemed to last an eternity, he finally spoke. “Have you eaten lunch?” he asked as he rose from the sofa.“No,” I replied.“Breakfast?”“No,” I mumbled weakly, and the realization made my stomach growl in response.“I assume you didn't eat dinner last night too?”I didn’t respond, and he took my silence as a yes. Grey groaned in exasperation. “I'll be back,” he said. With a quick, long stride, he reached the door. Then he was gone.Sleepily, I rested my head on the side of Mom's soft bed. Heaving a contented sigh, I closed my eyes. Before I knew it, I fell a

**ONE YEAR LATER**Days had turned into weeks, weeks had turned into months, and the months had turned into a full year, but the bouquet of flowers, boxes of chocolates, and romantic letters never stopped coming. Not even for a single day in the entire year.With the amount of effort Grey had put into his courtship, it was hard not to soften and fall for him even more—especially when he visited home every single day to continue what he called “courtship service,” which included being a gardener, a car repairman, an electrician, a plumber, and sometimes a cleaner.I once told him it wasn't necessary for him to do anything like that since we are in modern times. Men no longer woo women and their families by doing house chores, but Grey was stubborn and wouldn’t stop. He told me it was his way of showing respect and dedication to me as his wife, so I allowed him to continue what he was doing and just enjoyed the moment while he was at it.After his ceaseless dedication, Grey's hard work

A few seconds later, the soft voice coming from the bed made Grey and me abruptly pull away from each other so we could look at the bed. We both saw our son looking at us. My heart jumped, and I immediately went to Dylan’s side and grabbed his hand.“Mama.” It was the first word that came from his lips. The sound of his voice made my heart swell with joy. Despite being away from me for years, he had never forgotten that I was his mother. I was so happy that tears welled in my eyes. From looking at me, Dylan’s eyes shifted to his father. He opened his small mouth and, in a soft voice, mumbled, “Papa.”Grey's throat moved as he swallowed hard. I could tell by the way he sucked in a deep breath that he was trying to contain his emotions. “Yes, my little boy, papa is here,” Grey replied, his voice thick with emotion as he spoke. Crossing the small distance between him and the bed, he gently pulled Dylan into his arms. He was trying his best not to burst into tears, but his eyes clearly sh

“For our children, Lily,” he replied, looking me straight in the eyes.For our children… Yeah, for Isabelle and Dylan… But was that enough reason for me to stay? I thought to myself, wanting to actually hear him say that he wanted me to stay with him because he loves me.Grey continued, “I know if you leave, you will take the children with you, and God only knows how long it will be before you return here so Dylan and Isabelle could be with me again. I know I could visit them anytime if you're in Europe, but it wouldn't be enough for me because I want to be with them all the time… I want them to have a complete family, which I never experienced in my life.” His eyes filled with even more emotion as he said those words.Even though I never experienced having an absentee father and an abusive stepmother raising me, I knew that it wasn't easy. To say it was hard was an understatement. Perhaps ‘hell’ would be the right word to describe the situation.Grey had the luxury that everyone want

The room was quiet and still, and for a moment, I thought I was alone. However, when I opened my eyes, I saw that my whole family was inside the room. The only one missing was my grandmother, Leilani, who I bet wasn’t allowed to leave the house considering the time of the night. Slowly, I got up from the sofa. As I did so, I cast a brief glance at the wall clock and was actually surprised to see that it was past three in the morning, which meant I had slept for a straight two hours. Feeling refreshed despite the short hours of sleep, I felt somewhat relaxed, and as the rollercoaster events of last night rushed into my thoughts, I realized how surreal it felt, as though what had happened was only a dream.My gaze surveyed the room, looking for Grey, but he was not inside Dylan’s room.“Lily,” my mom called after she finally noticed I was awake. Everyone in the room looked at me, and they all wore the same worried expression on their faces. I bit my lower lip at the sudden rush of guilt

Grey said nothing. I expected he would snap and lash out at me for keeping the truth from him all this time, but his silence was the reaction I didn't expect. The lack of reaction on his handsome face filled my chest with tension. I would rather see him angry and furious than see that blank expression on him.I held my breath, waiting for him to say something, but even after a minute passed, he didn't open his lips. The only sound I could hear was the hum of the monitor and the thunderous sound of my heartbeat as I prayed he would express how he felt.Please speak… Get mad at me… Lash out at me… Those were the words I wanted to tell him, but I couldn't let them escape my lips.The silence that seemed to go on forever was shattered when he finally opened his lips. “Why did you keep the truth from me, Lily?”His achingly soft voice left a sting in my heart. I bit my lower lip, folded my hands in my lap, and kept the tears from falling down my cheeks as I replied, “It was the best thing

The police finally arrived. Too tired to even move, I stayed in my place. I didn't know how long I'd been seated on the ground until I heard footfalls approaching behind me. Without looking back, I knew it was Grey. I just knew it was him.“Lily?” His soft voice confirmed my assumption, and he pulled to a stop beside me, kneeling on the ground. I raised my tear-streaked eyes to him and saw panic and fear shining through his hazel-green eyes.“Is Dylan alright?” The words barely emerged from his lips. He looked at me with a wretched expression on his face. That must have been the same look on my face when I first thought Dylan was gone.“He's still weak, but Dylan is alright, Grey,” I replied, warm tears flowing down my cheeks in abundance.Grey slumped beside me. The weight he seemed to carry heavily on his shoulders disappeared as he let go of the breath he wasn't aware he was still holding. His hands covered his face, and he stayed that way for a while.“Grey?” I called weakly, wond

Ash landed on the floor, groaning in pain, blood leaking from the grievous wound in his right shoulder. He thrashed and cursed under his breath as he struggled to stop the bleeding, but the pressure he applied wasn't enough to stem the crimson liquid from flowing.All the while, my hawk-sharp eyes remained fixed on him. Just in case he tried to attack or escape, I'd shoot him—not in the shoulder this time, but somewhere more fatal so he wouldn't be able to move again. My fingers were cold and shaking, yet I didn't move the gun away from him for a second, fearing he would take the chance to grab the weapon from me and reverse the situation.“Untie yourself, Grey,” I told him. My eyes remained locked on Ash as I removed the ring from my finger and tossed it to where Grey was seated. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him pick up the ring, push the button, and the dagger popped up. He began to cut the rope with the small dagger. “Damn, how did you manage to cut the rope with this?” he mu

The shot reverberated inside the room, mingled with the sound of my own horrified scream. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to strike. I even expected blood to flow from my injury, but there was nothing. Counting a few more seconds, still nothing happened. No wound and no pain. Reluctantly, my eyes opened, and I found Ash looking at me with a sinister grin on his face. The terror he saw in my expression pleased him in a horrible way. He crossed the distance between us and pressed the muzzle of the gun against my temple.The moment the cold, hard metal touched my skin, terror swelled inside me until it grew to the size of a monster. I could barely breathe. Without looking in Grey's direction, I knew he was feeling the same way, watching the gun pressed against my temple. The deafening sound of my heartbeat resounded in my ears, and I wondered if the two men could hear it too. Perhaps they couldn't at all, but I felt as though the world had stopped turning, and the only sound I c

My lips began to tremble. The deafening sound of my heartbeat resounded in my ears. This isn't happening, I told myself as my gaze remained locked on Natalia's dead body, which resembled a pale mannequin. She sat upright on the sofa, her long hair cascading down her shoulders and falling to her lap where her fingers were crossed. She looked alive and dead at the same time. I even tried convincing myself that it wasn't her, that it was just a mannequin, but I couldn't fool myself.I swallowed deep and hard. My eyes snapped shut. I counted to ten, then opened my eyes again, but she didn't disappear, which I had expected. She looked so real, and the thought alone sent shivers down my spine because I knew I would end up just like her if I didn't escape from my captor.“Holy shit,” Grey hissed under his breath in pure disbelief as he finally managed to get up and followed my gaze. “It's Natalia… It's not a mannequin like I thought at first,” he added, confirming my biggest fear. I was stil
