Choosing My Billionaire Husband Eighty-nine
At that moment, I was filled with so much hatred for my mother, for what she had done to the man she had vowed to spend forever with. How selfish could she be? “It'll be okay,” I told him, awkwardly reaching out to pat his shaking back but backing out at the last second. I didn't have that kind of relationship with my dad, unfortunately. He kept his head turned down for several more minutes and I waited for him to cry it out. I was mad at my mother for leaving my father, but I was also disappointed in her for leaving me as well. Something this life-changing had happened and she never bothered to reach out to me, even if it happened to be by text message. “It hasn't been, but I believe you,” he said finally, raising his head and giving me a weak smile. Apart from his red-tinted eyes, there were no other signs he had been crying. “Let's discuss something nicer,” he said, tapping the chair and sitting up straight. “How does it feel to be back?” “Great,” I replied honestly. “It’s gre

I rolled my eyes. I was tired of hearing the same word, ‘safe’ and having everyone tell me who I was safe with and who I wasn't with. First Davis didn't think I was safe with Kayden then Kayden didn't think I was safe with Davis and now my dad of all people was telling me I wasn't safe with my own husband. I didn't act surprised or offended. I stared at him and waited for him to continue. That was not the reaction he had expected. “I'm serious, Cassie. I know you just got back together with him but if I had known that was the plan, I would have stopped you long before.” “Ok, and?” I asked him, getting irritated. He sighed. “I know you think he loves you but he really doesn't. He still needs you for the same reason he married you in the first place. The reason in the contract you don't want to read. I can get it for you if you like…” He started to get up, probably to go in and bring out the contract which I had begged him to let me see in the past but he had refused me. “Can you j

I stood next to the car and stared as my heart race quickened, watching everything unfold like it was not my house, but the house of someone else.. There was so much going on, so much commotion. The grim faces of everyone on board was a clear indication that something terrible had happened here. I left just little over an hour ago, leaving only Gloria in the empty house. When did this happen? What if something bad had happened to Gloria, I thought, as my heart race quickened to a point I thought it would pop out of my chest if I didn't quell my curiosity. I knew why I was hesitant to find out. I didn't like the way Davis was being interviewed by those men. My mind was painting the worst scenarios and it wasn't helping at all. What if he had done something to her? That was absolutely impossible. Davis did not look like a guilty man, but he never did even when he was. I didn't see Gloria anywhere and at that moment, my eye caught some movement in the ambulance. The door opened and I

I twisted and turned all night on my bed, barely able to get an hour’s rest in general. I had a feeling Davis had trouble sleeping too because I could feel him breathe and his breathing was not steady. I should have known our long streak of happiness was suspicious. Something bad was bound to happen. The next morning, neither of us were ready to get out of bed. Even though I wasn't asleep, I remained on the bed, staring at nothing in particular. Getting up and starting the day would mean facing the real world. I didn't want to know what the real world had in store for us yet. I wished I could just pause everything until I was ready. A hand on the exposed part of my stomach, pulling me closer made me know Davis was awake as well and in the same condition as I was. He turned me to him, pressing his face against mine, letting me know without speaking how tense he was and how he wished he could run away from all of this as well. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he held my waist. W

"This is the latest one,” Quinn told me as I started to read the News.‘Crazy Ex: Murder or Sui**de?' the caption read. "A few hours ago, it was reported that Vera Monroe ended her own life right in front of the home of California’s own billionaire Davis Monroe, who happens to be her ex. This occurred just a few days after the CEO’s estranged wife returned and it is not far-fetched to suspect the competition pushed probably pushed his ex trophy girlfriend to her limit. Exact details are not known of how exactly it happened or which part of the house she was in when it happened. Davis and his wife have refused to provide any context whatsoever and have been reported to have released the guards who are the major suspects in this case. It is difficult to ascertain if truly, our society’s beloved Vera was really nothing but a ticking time bomb with mental issues or if our city’s most powerful man is hiding something. After all, this wouldn’t be the first time he has tried to cover up som

By the time we were done preparing the farmhouse, filling it up with supplies, and making sure it was fit enough to be lived in, it was already evening. We were so exhausted that we went to bed right after having dinner. When I opened my eyes the next morning, it was so bright out that I began to wonder how long I had slept. I stretched and yawned, my hands freezing midair when I discovered Davis was not in the room with me. Dread washed over me for a second when I remembered how he had left me all alone here the last time, but I shook it off. There was no way he could do that again.I put on a pair of slippers by the side of the bed and went downstairs hoping to find him, but the perfect view of nature momentarily distracted me. The outside was perfect. The view of the grasses close by, the crops arranged in beautiful rows, and the trees whose branches moved to the flow of the early morning wind made me realize what I had missed at the mansion. Where there was a fence ending the lim

"No,” I muttered, blushing like a fool. I was a little worried by how excited I was about all of this. He spun me around and looked in awe as I turned, like he was only seeing my body for the first time. “You’re literally perfect,” he praised, licking his lips. Emboldened by his praise, I clung to him and began to kiss him deeply and he didn’t try to stop me. I lifted my leg and he held it to his side, pressing into me so I could feel the hard evidence of his erection. I don’t know how long we made out in the open, but a while later, I still couldn't get enough of him. There had to be something in the air outside that was making us so wild. We tumbled in the grass, holding onto each other and rubbing bodies under the watchful eyes of the sun, yet it didn't feel weird. I didn't feel the least bit ashamed. With him next to me, I was just so convinced nothing terrible could possibly happen. Suddenly, he froze and when I asked him what was wrong, he simply got up and asked me to joi

"I'm sorry, Cassie,” he said, getting into the car with me when he realized my mind was made up about leaving. “Please…”“Just drive!” I snapped. I was more annoyed at my father for his scheming than I was at Davis, but there was no way I would tell him that. I was so angry, I wanted to jump out of the car just so I wouldn’t remain in the same space with him. But I had to return home somehow. His closeness made my blood boil and the more he kept trying to talk to me and steal glances at me, the angrier I became.To be honest, I had expected worse. What he had done was messed up, but the picture my father had painted of him was way worse than what he had just told me. If what he confessed was what was truly in the contract, then why had my father been so hell-bent on giving me the contract to read when he knew his part in the whole matter would only make me hate him more? None of it made any sense. Unless Davis had just bent the truth to make himself look less bad. But why would he

Choosing My Billionaire Husband Final Part
Five years later: Cassie’s POV:I stared into the glittering eyes of my baby girl as she struggled to make them stay open while I read her a bedtime story. She was just as stubborn as her father, fighting sleep even though that was what she needed. “And they lived happily ever after, the end,” I said. By the time I was done with the bedtime story, sleep had won. Although my daughter was asleep, I couldn’t stop watching her I rubbed her head and stared into her face, smiling when I saw the close resemblance she shared with her father. “You’re lucky I married a handsome man,” I whispered, still not ready to leave my baby girl’s side. “I love you,” I said and kissed her on her forehead, before turning to leave the room. “Jeez!” I gasped when I saw Davis standing by the door with his hands in his both pockets, smiling down at me. I turned back immediately to see if I had woken Ivory up, but luckily she was such a deep sleeper. “You scared me,” I whispered. “Come,” he said, stretchi

Davis’s POV:Do what’s right. I knew what that meant, and I didn’t like it. But she asked me to do it for her. How could I possibly say no to her? There was nothing I couldn’t do for her. I realized that now. The fact both warmed and scared me. Never had anyone had this much power over my choices but I had to admit it did feel strangely good. Here I was, driving down to meet Kayden, but this time with a different intention from what I would have liked to do. I was quite surprised to still see him there, sitting on the same swing bench he had been sitting on several hours ago when I found my wife next to him. This was going to be extremely difficult. I took a deep breath. I had to be really careful not to flip out and ruin the whole plan. “This is for you, baby,” I whispered to myself before leaving the car. Kayden flinched a little when he saw me approach, but when he saw there was nowhere to run, he remained where he was sitting and pretended to look unbothered by my presence

Davis’s POV: I don’t know how long I was passed out for, but when I woke up, I found myself alone in a big bland room that had no windows. It didn’t take long for everything to click into place. Even though my head was pounding like it was about to explode, I could still put the pieces together. I had been kidnapped. It was a bit embarrassing though. I was supposed to be experienced and intelligent. How could I have let myself be tricked so easily? I remained on the floor where I was and hoped my head would stop hurting so bad. What happened to using chloroform to make me unconscious? Why did my attacker have to go old school and knock me out with a blunt object? It felt personal, like whoever had done it, purposely wanted me to feel pain. I should have never underestimated him. Of course the timelines clicked in place. Why did I let Lisa come with me? He had cleverly used her to get to me. Now I was here, I wondered what he planned to do with me. He had almost taken my life the

Davis’s POV:Surprisingly, my relationship with Cassie changed for the better after my few hours stay in the hospital. She felt terrible for what she had done, but the action made her see how dangerous it was to believe one side alone. It was just as I suspected. Her father had gone ahead to change the contract entirely. It had nothing to do with money because I had given him more than enough money to start something for himself. He was not unreasonably wicked either, so it had to be something else. When I read the fake contract and found how Kayden’s greatest qualities were mentioned over and over, I knew who was responsible. Simply knowing with no proof though, was not enough. I had to teach that scoundrel a lesson or he would just disappear for a while and return again to be a thorn in our flesh. Fortunately, Cassie had been easy to convince. I think it because she felt terrible after sending me to a hospital, even after I assured her continually that it wasn’t her fault. I di

If I said I knew what I was doing, I would be lying. I was in the car with Rufus, who was taking me to only God knows where, and I had no idea where Davis was or how he was doing. After everything that had happened these past few days, I had disassociated a little from reality and this was proof of that fact. There was nothing I could do except sit and watch after all. Look where trying to act on my own had got me. “I just got off from a call with the boss,” Rufus said, swerving to the right. “He says I should take you to meet him at Palm Greens.” I turned away, distracting myself with the view of the palm trees and other cars we passed. I didn’t know where Palm Greens was. Maybe it was the place where he had captured Davis and the others. I didn’t want to think about it. I couldn’t bear to see my husband in that position again, or worse, Lisa. A feeling of dread washed over me as I began to realize just how serious this was. Kayden did not believe he had done anything wrong. I w

I waited until Rufus was completely out of the house before speaking. I didn’t have a plan yet, but I wasn’t dumb enough to follow him to meet Kayden. Who knew what that psychopath would do with me? “Leave, now,” I told my father as I untied Gloria from the chair. My father stood still as if he hadn’t heard me. I really didn’t have the time for this. “Why are you still standing there?” I asked him. “Hurry up so you both can leave while you still can.” “It can’t be that easy, Cass,” he said. “He’ll find us soon enough or Kayden will send someone else after us.” I groaned in frustration. “So what do you expect me to do? Follow him?”“I’m not saying that, but…”“You want to die!” I screamed, running my hand through my hair, a habit I had learned from Davis. “Isn’t it better to try than to just stand around and wait to be killed? I don’t know what you expect me to do, but I’m not following anyone anywhere. We’re all escaping one way or another and it’s fine if you don’t want to follo

As this was not the first time I had walked away from my father in anger, it neither felt good nor painful. I was just tired of the whole thing. I had no idea what was going on inside or what he was trying to hide, but at this point, I no longer wanted to find out. He was old enough to deal with his issues on his own and I was done being on the receiving end of his selfishness. He didn’t try to stop me and that was a clue that if he left the house, something bad would probably happen to him. Come to think of it, ever since I returned to California, I didn’t think he had ever left the house. I was tired of overthinking and watching my every step. I was tired of second-guessing my place in everybody’s life and wondering who was secretly a traitor and who wasn’t. I just wanted to live my life normally and peacefully, but my ex-boyfriend had made it his mission to make me keep looking over my shoulder. I wished Kayden could just disappear somehow. I didn’t care how, I just wished he an

Before I could say anything in response, my phone began to ring. I saw it was a call from Kayden and I froze. I let it ring and go to voicemail, because even though I was mad at him, I could still remember what he had done to me and I wasn’t sure I wasn't ready to face him yet. “Who was that?” my father asked, craning his head to look into my phone. “No one,” I said quickly, reducing the volume of my phone and placing it in my bag. “You asked how we can know for sure whether Kayden was the reason I lost my baby or not?” I asked him, giving him a chance to take back his words. He looked away. “It may not have been him. The baby may have already been weak…i don't know how these things work but…” “I just told you he kicked me repeatedly on the stomach and I started to bleed. You're telling me I should believe the kicking had nothing to do with me losing my baby?” I asked, now more disappointed than ever. Even if he was being forced to do this, what could be at stake for him to say su

“Cassie dear. I'm so happy you're here,” my father said, looking from side to side after I showed up at his door unexpectedly. “Come on in.” I took my steps in carefully, sucking in a breath to remind myself I needed to remain as calm as possible. “Sit down,” he said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. “What would you like to drink?” “Nothing. Don't worry yourself.” He nodded and sat down facing me. I glanced around the room to ease some of the discomfort I was beginning to feel. “I see you cleaned this place up.” “Yeah, my…yes I did,” he said. “I'm sorry for your loss.” We sat in awkward silence for more moments as I tried to gather my thoughts. It had been three days since Davis was discharged from the hospital and the press had been on our necks ever since. I didn't know what they were talking about because I had blocked every single news outlet from my phone. That wasn't a lasting solution, but it was working for now. On the other hand, my father had probably been swall
