Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife Chapter 99
I looked at him with my mouth slightly parted open. He always surprises me with his sudden and unexpected questions. I take so much time answering him, fearing my tongue might slip and he would discover the truth if I'm not careful with my response. I swallowed hard. Summoning my voice, I replied, “No, he isn't.”“Are you in love with him?” he asked without looking at me, his soft voice thick with resentment.I could lie at that moment, but I chose to tell the truth and said no. “I will eventually learn how to love him back in time,” I added, much to his chagrin. *Just like the way I'm learning to stop loving you right now,* I honestly thought to myself, feeling so damn lucky he couldn't read my thoughts right now.“Now that I know you aren't his yet, I'm letting you know I'm not going to give you up, Lily. I will fight for you with all the strength and every single ounce of willpower I possess. I will fight for you until you make your decision, and only then will I stop pursuing you

Grey came to my parents asking for their permission to court me while on his knees? Unbelievable! I thought to myself. Wonder, alarm, excitement, and wariness came crashing down on me all at the same time. I looked at Mom and found her giving me another of her mysterious smiles.We finally finished arranging the roses in the vase. Mom rose from her seat and placed the antique vase in the center of the glass table before sitting beside me on the plush sofa. Taking my hand, she spoke, “I only want you to be happy, Lily. And I can see how happy you are when you're with him, even though you try so hard to conceal how you really feel. I know deep down you still love him, but you're afraid to get hurt again. But even though we said yes and allowed him to court you, at the end of the day, you're the one who decides if you will accept him or not in your life. I'm simply telling you to give the man a chance, then make his courtship a living hell.”I looked at Mom with a puzzled expression. Did

I made a beeline straight to the kitchen. The mouth-watering aroma of dishes wafting across the kitchen permeated my nostrils. Instantly, my stomach growled in hunger, reminding me I hadn't eaten anything yet. Grey was temporarily forgotten; breakfast was all I could think about for now.A young female servant saw me and gave me a polite smile, which I responded to with equal warmth. “What would you like to have for breakfast, Miss Lily?” she asked as she washed her hands in the sink.“I'll have a vegetable sandwich, yogurt, and a glass of milk,” I replied shyly. I wanted to help her prepare my breakfast, but Isabelle was with me, so I could do nothing but watch. I still wasn't used to the idea of having a servant prepare breakfast for me, but Mom and Dad made sure I was well taken care of.“I feel like eating something sweet. I want to have some fruit if we have any.” Grace made her way to the refrigerator and pulled it open, revealing a wide selection of fruits. “We have apples, av

Attached under the message was the address of a street. I immediately knew where it was. Though I'd never been on that street before, I knew it was located on the outskirts of town, and it was a two-hour drive away from the house. Only a few houses stood in that area since it was far from civilization. The houses were situated far from each other, and if something bad happened, there would be no one around except for the vast array of tall trees that surrounded the area. Finding help would be impossible. Indeed, it was a perfect place to lure someone and commit a crime without anyone noticing. Someone could just toss a dead body in that street, and no one would even notice it for years. My grip tightened around my phone. Dylan's life was at risk! What if whoever sent the message was telling the truth and he held Dylan captive? It was my only chance to see my son alive. But then, a huge doubt crept into my mind, telling me that whoever sent me the message could be lying. He was a st

A long pause lapsed between Grey and me as we exchanged horrified glances. The only sounds we could hear were Dylan's tearful cries on the other line. I pushed away the urge to burst into tears and gathered my resolve to speak up. “D-Dylan, Mommy is here… Please stop crying,” I softly whispered. Unable to control my emotions any longer, tears fell down my flushed cheeks like waterfalls. “Everything will be alright, honey… Mommy will come to get you,” I added, biting my lips to suppress the wretched sob escaping my lips.“Do you believe me now, Lily?” the robotic voice asked as Dylan's tearful cries slowly faded into distant whimpers until his voice couldn't be heard anymore.Panic rose inside me when I could no longer hear Dylan's voice, even from a distance. “What did you do to my son, you bastard?” I hissed under my breath, wishing lightning would strike and kill him instantly.“He's so noisy. I just made him fall asleep for a while. Don't worry, he'll wake up soon, just in time for

The evening I dreaded the most finally came. I took a deep breath and looked at Mom while she helped me pack a few of my personal things, which consisted of a couple of clothes and toiletries. Watching her made tears cloud my eyes.I told her I had a sudden and unexpected out-of-town business trip and that I had to leave tonight. She instantly believed me without asking further questions. She even helped me prepare what I would need for my so-called trip, despite my insistence that I could do it on my own. So here she was, helping me prepare my things for an out-of-town business trip that didn't even exist.I hated lying to her, but it was the only way I could leave the house without making her and the rest of my family suspicious.“I'm done,” Mom said, looking at me with a satisfied smile on her lips. “Are you sure you haven't forgotten to bring anything with you?” she asked. The smile on her face was replaced with worry.She was like an overly worried mother sending her daughter on

We were halfway to our destination when I pulled my car to the side of the road. Grey parked his car in a safe spot before he emerged from inside. With quick, long steps, he crossed the distance between us, reached my car, and climbed inside. Once he was settled and comfortable in his seat, he gestured for me to continue driving.Obediently, I maneuvered my car back onto the road and continued to drive quietly. Grey fished his phone out of the pocket of his black hoodie jacket and called someone. Despite not being able to hear the other side, I knew what the conversation was about. He was calling a friend to take his car where he had left it, using the duplicate key.After he told the person on the other line about the location, the call ended. He returned the phone to his pocket. The inside of the car went silent throughout the trip. We were both tense, and our minds skittered to faraway places to even start a conversation.I couldn't shake the feeling of dread swelling inside me. I

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

Billionaire's Pregnant Ex-wife Chapter 114
**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
