Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 40 - What do you think you're doing?
[Matilda] It's been a week since Kaden's visit and my mind was finally starting to find some peace. Maybe I was just overthinking things Maybe he truly believed me when I said the kids aren't his I took a slow deep breath walking out of my store as I marched to my car. I had lost track of time! I was already thirty minutes late from picking up my kids from school. The more reason to hire an extra hand soon to help in my bakery I slid into my car and hooked my seatbelt, and just as I ignited the engine my phone rang. My lips stretched into a smile as I saw the caller ID. I connected it to my car's Bluetooth and drove off "Look who finally decided to call me huh?" I rolled my eyes even though I knew Leo couldn't see me "I'm sorry baby, I know you're mad at me right now and I deserve any scolding, it's just been a whole lot!" Leo's husky voice echoed through the speakers, making me shake my head, with my eyes fixed on the road "It's fine. I know you're busy," I replied softly, hea

[Matilda] My jaw clenched hard as I tightened my hand on the steering wheel! I couldn't stop the anger that was brewing inside me no matter how hard I tried What exactly was Kaden on about? To the extent of going to my kid's school? Not me thinking that he had backed the fuck down. I fucking knew it, I could damn feel it all this while. My instincts were just all over the place that he was up to something I took a deep breath my eyes shifting to my phone as Leo's call kept coming in "Mummy your phone has been ringing!" I blinked back as Austin said from the back. Taking a slow deep breath I picked up the call and Leo's voice rang out, panic laced in his tone "Tesoro, what's wrong? Why did you hang up like that, is everything okay? Are the kids okay?" Before I could even say a word Austin and Aiden yelled from behind "Mummy is that Uncle Leo?" They screamed from the back and I heard Leo let out a sigh of relief "Aiden, Austin!" Leo called out and they giggled. "Uncle Leo

[Kaden] My hand dug into my scalp as I slid into the backseat of my car "Drive!" I instructed my driver and he ignited the engine driving out of the school compound I know that I needed to get close to the kids but that wouldn't deter the fact that the lady was being careless! If she was handling my kids and made this type of mistake, I would make sure she got sacked from the school It just took taking her to the side and telling her that I'm the uncle to the kids and giving her a seductive look and she lost it and believed me instantly I was even thinking that she would ask the kids if I was truly their uncle but she just stood there staring at me. I had to send her out at some point to get me a bottle of water so I could ask the kids the question I wanted to ask them And I had gotten all the answers I needed "We haven't seen our Daddy, mummy said he works very far away but we have never seen him, can you help us find our Daddy?" The innocent boy had explained to me and

[Kaden]The moment I stepped into my house, I could hear the chaos all over the place, my mother's sharp commanding voice echoing through the walls."You need to stop this nonsense and face the truth!" My mother's voice rang out. "Six years Cherry, how long do you want my son to wait?""You think I haven't tried, do you think we are not trying?"I clenched my jaw, my steps quickening as I turned toward the corner leading to the living room. I took a deep breath as I stepped into the living room, watching the both of them as they exchanged words not even noticing that I stepped in"No, you're not trying enough, it's either you give him a child or...," "That's enough!" I said sharply, their attention snapping towards me in an instant. My eyes flicked to Cherry. "Go upstairs!"She whipped her head towards me, her hand fisting into a ball. "Are you serious right now?""Cherry, I said go upstairs and let me handle this,""Don't you dare tell me to go upstairs like I'm the villain here, y

[Matilda]"So what do you intend to do?" Julia asked. I took a deep breath, cradling my wine glass in my palm before gulping down the contents. The warmth of the liquid did little to settle the unease twisting in my chest"I have no idea, Julia, as much as I try to push it aside, I just can't. Why would he go to my kid's school? I thought he believed me when I said they weren't his and now this!" I said softly, my eyes darting around the restaurant where Julia and I had come out to have some fresh air this eveningJulia exhaled, shaking her head. "He's doing too much,"I shut my eyes, but the smirk on Kaden's face from two days ago replayed behind my eyelids like a tauntI knew Kaden was up to something"I still don't think it's the reason to stop the kids from going to school. That's why you moved to New York in the first place remember? Maybe you should talk to the head teacher of the school and report the incident to them!" Julia mumbled and I stared up at herWhy hadn't I though

[Matilda] "I've been trying to reach you since last night!" I leaned my back on the kitchen cabinet, with my phone pressed on my ear "Sorry love, I'm here now!" Leo mumbled. I could tell he already knew what I was about to ask "Tell me you don't know what I'm about to ask you? When did you do all of that without my knowledge?" I asked and I heard him chuckle "Tesoro, What are you talking about?" "Don't do that Leo, when did you register me on a baking show without letting me know? I got the call yesterday and your name was mentioned so don't lie to me about it," I mumbled and that was when he chuckled loudly "A few days back! I heard of it from a business partner of mine and well I had to fix in one of the most pastry chefs I've ever seen!" My face turned crimson shade as Leo mumbled making me bite down on my lip "I got their message after the call and it doesn't look like an ordinary competition Leo, how did you manage to get me a slot in it? It looks like a show high-e

[Kaden]"You're insane, I said they are not...," Before she could finish her statement, with a flick of my wrist, I threw the envelope to her, watching as it landed on her feetHer eyes darted to it. She stared at me and then back to the envelopeI could feel my anger burning as I chuckled"Go the fuck on and check what that is, you fucking selfish thing!" I roaredShe inhaled deeply, her eyes flickering back to me again before she snatched it off the ground, rolling her eyes, she tore the envelope immediately. Her eyes scanned the paper, a mixture of shock and disbelief danced in her orbs but the next thing she did suddenly caught me off guardShe threw her head back, her hand tightening on the paper as she laughed hysterically, making my brows crease together"This is insane, oh what the fuck is wrong with this man!" Tilda scoffed, shaking her head as she stared back at me. "You think I'll give you a listening ear for this trash. Tell me, since when does DNA happen without both par

[Matilda] "Fuck off!" I shoved my hand away from the bastard in front of me and pushed my door open. I stepped in and banged the door shut My heart was thumping as I clicked on the door, making sure it was locked. I took long strides towards the stairs, heading straight to my room The moment I reached my bed, my body gave out, and I collapsed onto the mattress. Tears poured down my face, ragged sobs shaking my entire frame "No!! No!! This isn't happening!" My heart pounded louder in my ears, as I clutched my chest tightly. He did... He did a DNA test. How could this man? How did I not think about this? My vision blurred as the words on that paper burned themselves into my brain, looping over and over like a curse Paternity test between Kaden Donovan and the twins, Aiden and Austin: 99.98% What does he mean by the hard way? Would he forcefully try to snatch my children from me? I know Kaden Donovan would likely walk out freely with anything, but this isn't happening I d

[Matilda]"What did he mean by seeing you in court, why is he taking you to court?" Leo asked and I took a deep breath trying to calm the way my heart thumped hard in my chest by recalling that statement from LeoI stared up at Leo biting down on my lower lip"He wants the full custody of the kids,""That fucking bastard," Leo growled out, his jaw clenching as he lowered his gazeHe stared up. "Was he aware that you were pregnant?" Leo asked and I shook my head, taking another sip from my wine"I didn't tell him about it,""Why?" Leo asked and I knew that there was no other way around this, I had to tell him everything, the one memory I hated to recall for the past six yearsI stared up at Leo and then lowered my gaze, swallowing the sudden lump that made its way to my throat"If you don't want to talk about it Tesoro, it's fine, you can...,""No I want to," I mumbled fidgeting with my hands. "Our marriage did not start on a good note, I would say he was forced to marry me by his fath

[Matilda]"Please just hear me out Leo," I said softly. The men who had walked out with him made their way leaving and LeoI made to speak but he cut me off"Matilda, I don't want to hear anything from you, is that fucking too much for you to register into your head," Leo snapped. I bit down on my lip, staring at Leo like I was suddenly looking at a different person entirelyI locked my gaze on him, I opened my mouth to speak but shut it back. I wanted to speak with him, I wanted to make him understand, but standing right in front of him, with the way his eyes darkened, I suddenly felt speechless"Since you have nothing reasonable to say then I will take it that I should leave," He flashed me a smile that did nothing to hide the anger In his eyesI bit down on my lip, watching as he made to take a step out"If you leave right now, then I'll take it that you do hate me and love seeing me like this," My voice wavered as fresh tears poured down my eyesLeo stood frozen in the spot, his b
Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 71 - Please hear me out!
[Matilda]I walked down the stairs, my heart skipping with each step I took down. It was barely 9 am but I was already dressed up to leave! Not to my store or any other place but to meet Leo! I couldn't get a wink of sleep last night. The anger In Leo's voice and face couldn't get out of my mind no matter how hard I tried"Mummy, are you going out?" My eyes shifted to my kids who were seated with their teacher in the living room. I walked towards them placing a soft kiss on their foreheads, before bidding them goodbye"I'm leaving," I said to their Nanny, and she gave me a firm nod. A look of worry flickering in her eyes, she made to speak but I flashed her a smile before turning and making my way outI glanced at my phone for the umpteenth time since last night to know if Leo had at least replied to my message but it was still exactly like that! And the worst part is that he read every message I sent and still didn't utter a word. I tried explaining to him that I didn't mean to lie t

[Kaden]"When did you start smoking, Cherry, and who was that?" My voice was low as I asked. I wasn't shocked seeing Cherry smoking because lately, it has felt like I didn't know my wife anymoreShe opened her mouth to speak but shut it back"I don't know what you're talking about," She said, dropping the cigarettes on the floor using her leg to put off the cigarettesI just wasn't in the mood for this anymore, I was beginning to regret coming here to get her in the first place"We're going home, haven't you stayed enough?" I asked, my arms crossed over my chestHer eyes lingered on mine, biting down on her lower lip. "You...I...I mean, no I'm not coming home," Her voice was low, her eyes still not leaving mine, locking her gaze on mine"You are because I'm not leaving here without you," I brushed past her making my way into the room. My eyes moved over to the table, a glass with two bottles of wine and almost three packets of cigarettesI plopped down on the bed, dragging the bottle

[Kaden]"Is that the Leo guy, that handsome tall dude?" Ryan asked as we walked out of the hall towards the lotI glared at him and I knew he caught it as a sign to shut up"If you have nothing to say just shut the fuck up," I gritted out, making my way to my carSo She also didn't tell her little lover about me? I raked my hand through my hair as I pulled my car open and slipped in taking a slow deep breathMonster? The dude's voice echoed all over my head. If I was doubting whether I had crossed paths with him, then his attitude tonight confirmed it allTilda didn't tell him about me! Which meant he had no reason to hate or call me such names. I saw the look in his eyes when he gritted out my name like I had hurt his ego or probably done some hurtful things to himWell, I've done some hurtful things to so many people but I was very sure I don't lay my hands on people who aren't traitors! But Leo, how the fuck can I still not picture where I've seen that dude?"Are you going to star

[Matilda]"I said you should get the fuck out of my car you liar" Leo growled out making me flinch. Tears gathered at the corners of my eyes and before I could say a word tears rolled down my cheeks. Leo's eyes immediately turned towards me, I watched as his eyes softened but were quickly masked up immediately"Matilda kindly step down," He grumbled yet again, I stiffened back my tears reaching out to his hands"I won't leave," My lips quivered as I took a slow deep breath. "Just hear me out please I didn't mean to lie to you, I wanted to tell you I fucking swear and that was the reason I've been trying to see you and I...,""If you could understand that none of these things you're saying are making its way to my ears then I would rather you save your time and step down," Leo snapped, flinging my hands off and the next minute he was pulling the car door open and stepping outI watched as he rounded the car. My heart skipped as Leo reached the passenger seat and pulled it open"I need

[Matilda]"Get the fuck out of my way nuisance," I snapped at the bastard in front of me that wore a smirk on his face. He chuckled, raising his hand as he stepped out of the door. I pushed the door open, raising my eyes to step out only for me to stop in my tracks at the sight before meLeoThe fuck? How?"Leo... Leo?" My heart skipped as I called out his name. His eyes weren't on me Instead he had his eyes fixed behind me watching and just then Kaden walked right out nudging me and I watched Leo's eyes widen"The fuck?" Leo growled out, his eyes snapping from me to Kaden who decided to fucking stop beside me instead of getting the fuck outI watched Leo's eyes darken, his jaw clenching hard as he locked his gaze on Kaden's. The same look he gave him the very first day he saw him at the event"Tesoro, what did I just hear right now?" Leo's voice was laced with anger. I didn't need anyone to tell me he had heard every one of our conversation"Leo...I...is not what you think?" I bit do

[Kaden] I tilted my neck to the side and the first person my eyes met was Tilda as she walked in, her fingers locked with that bastard. My jaw clenched hard, taking my eyes off her, I turned back to the stage even though nothing was making sense in whatever they were saying up there My fingers dug into my palm as that one image that always clawed to my mind whenever I looked at that Leo guy, came rushing back The bastard on top of her, balls deep banging her... Fuck "I'm out of here!" I growled out and Ryan shot me a look "Are you going to congratulate her?" The fucker beside me, uttered, biting back a chuckle. I don't fucking blame him, do I? Before he could say another word I was already on my feet making my way out. I walked down the hall and instead of heading toward the exit, I walked down the hallway by the left heading to the restroom "What exactly does she even see in that bastard," I growled out, my finger raking through my hair as I increased my pace walking through t
Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 65 - Confronting him
[Matilda]"Congratulations once again," Daisy said as she side-hugged me. My lips stretched into a big smile. She was such a sweet person."Thank you so much," I said softly, picking up my bag once I was done getting myself together."We'll contact you, just like they said if the need arises," she added, and I nodded, offering her a warm smile.I made my way out through the back door we had used earlier, responding to a few fellow chefs who congratulated me along the way. My cheeks were already aching from smiling so much, but I didn’t mind.As I pushed the door open, I wasn’t surprised to see the first person standing right in front of it. My lips curled into a big smile, and without a word, I walked straight into his open arms."Congratulations," Leo murmured, his arms tightening around me."Thank you.""I knew you’d make me proud. You should have seen their faces when they walked up to your station," Leo pulled back, his eyes locking onto mine, pride written all over his face."You
