[Matilda]"I know he likes me," I kept whispering to myself as I walked into the company heading straight to the receptionist My heart slammed against my chest loud and heavy with every step I took toward her. My fingers curled tighter around my purse as I walked closer to the woman seated behind the desk, eyes glued to her laptop"Hi," I greeted softly. Her eyes shifted from the laptop in front of her to mineHer eyes met mine and she stared at me from head to toe, pressing her lips into a thin line before parting slightly— almost like she was sizing me up"I'm sorry can you hear me?" I called out softly. She blinked and stared even harder, her lips curling into a seductive smile. Why the hell is she looking at me like that?"I'm here to...to see Mr Kaden Donovan," I mumbled softly but the lady in front of me wouldn't stop ogling"Okay!" She finally chirped, her gaze still not moving from my boobs. Seriously?"Please can I see him, I mean I'm here to see him,""Sure, why not, he's

[Matilda]"I...is...I mean, don't you recognize me?" The words tumbled out, my heart twisting with dread the second they did as I locked eyes with the man seated in front of meHe raised a brow, scanning me from head to toe. My jaw clenched, my heart twisting in pain as I tried to make out any sign of recognition in his eyes but I couldn't see anyDid I come this far to make a fool of myself? "Are you going to state what you're doing right here or get the hell out of my office," he snapped making my fist clench into a tight ball. My eyes shifted from his cold face lowering to the groundIs he pretending not to know me or is he being serious?'You can't back down now,' my inner voice taunted. I bit down on my lower lip before staring back at him"Sir, it's me, Matilda, I... you...I mean," I trailed off, my nail digging deep into my palm as I failed to make out a complete sentence. "I'm the one that attends to you at the lounge where you visit every Saturday, I mean you asked me for my

[Matilda]Tears rolled down my eyes nonstop as I walked in nowhere in particular. Kaden's words couldn't stop echoing all over my ear."Ordinary waitress like you," The world slammed into my ear nonstop. My hand tightened around my purse as I felt the first drop of water in my faceI knew it was about to rain, I should be doing everything possible to walk fast and get home or find shelter but I couldn't walk faster than I was already doing! My heart clenched as I tried to picture what could have happened if I wasn't the way I wasI could tell that if I had come from a rich background like him, he wouldn't have talked to me in that manner, if my late parents were freaking rich, I would at least be respected. I wouldn't be referred to as an ordinary waitress who dresses in rags and barely changes shoesI stiffened back as another drop landed on my hand and then another and another and before I knew it, the rain started pouring making my heart twist in painI could feel my phone vibratin

[Matilda]"Why are you talking to me old man," I mumbled. My lips stretched into a big smile as I stared into his silver eyesWhy does he look like that asshole that called me an ordinary waitress? Am I beginning to see things now? Does everyone now look like him"You're getting drunk," The old man pulled my hand away from his cheek. I giggled grabbing his hand back and squeezing it tight"Why is your hand so warm," I mumbled, my lips still stretching into a big smile even though I had no idea why I was suddenly smiling so much"Sir the car is ready," My eyes shifted as a tall man walked over to where the old man was standing"I'll be right out, you can leave!" The old man said and turned back staring at me. His eyes shifted from my eyes and I could see how he stared at my boobs, licking his lower lips"What are you looking at?" I pulled his hand off, pouting my lips. I turned back to the barman who stood still with his hand behind him and his head bent low. "Give me more drinks you

[Matilda] "Oh my God," My hand flew to my mouth, my eyes wide open. "What have you done to me?" I screamed, dread sinking its claws Into every part of me The man in front of me chuckled, his eyes roaming over my body. Slowly he took a few steps toward me until he was standing right in front of me "What do you mean by what I did Pretty? What do you think should happen if a man and a woman are alone at night especially when the woman took all her clothes off?" My heart skipped I stared down at my body, my eyes darting around looking for any sign of blood but there wasn't. If he had taken my virginity I would know that he did it right? "Don't think much about it, sweetheart," His voice pulled me out of my thoughts, as he stretched his hand to my face, touching my cheek. "I don't enjoy it when the other party Is unconscious or drunk so nothing of that sort happened but that doesn't mean it won't be happening now," He mumbled, licking his lower lip and plopping down on the bed I fist

[Matilda]"Fuck," I cursed, trying to open my eyes. A sharp throb hit me like lightning, forcing them to shut again. I took a shaky deep breath and tried again. This time, my eyes blinked open, slowly adjusting to the harsh brightness"You're awake," A deep familiar voice rang out making my brows knit together. I quickly turned in the direction of the voice and for the next few seconds I felt my heart throb so hard in my chest as I came face to face with the same old man from two weeks backHow? What the hell am I doing here? I bit down on my lower lip, my eyes darting around as I tried to make sense of where I was but it seemed new. It didn't look like the same place I had woken up from two weeks agoMy eyes shifted only to notice that I was lying down on a couch and the man speaking to me was seated on the desk across from me, with his two hands resting calmly on it, eyes locked dead on mineCringeI tried to remember how I ended up here but the more I pushed, the harder my head thr

[Matilda]"What the hell are you doing here?" Kaden snapped, his voice hitting me like a punch, sharp and full of venom making my whole body trembleI opened my mouth to speak but shut it again. Nothing came out. I bit my lower lip hard, locking eyes with him as he swept his gaze over me like I was filth. His fists clenched at his sides."Kaden, sit down," Mr. Black’s voice cut through the tension. I let out a shaky breath I didn’t realize I was holding as Kaden finally looked away from me to glare at his father."Dad, what the hell is going on here? Why did you even call me?" Kaden barked, unmoving.Mr. Black turned his attention to me. "Where do you know my little pretty from?" he asked casually as if this wasn’t the most awkward, messed-up situation ever.Kaden’s head snapped to me, his face twisting. "Your... your little pretty?" he growled. "Can someone tell me what the actual fuck is going on?""Sit down," Mr. Black said firmly. "That’s the only way I’ll talk. And you—come sit h

[Matilda]"Tell me, have you gotten a lawyer yet?" Leo askedI bit down on my lower lip, swallowing the sudden lump that formed in my throat as I quickly shook my head. I knew I was going to start looking for a lawyer as soon as possible because this was a battle I wasn't ready to lose"I have a friend who is a very good lawyer, I will contact him. when is the first hearing," Leo asked and I pulled out my phone and unlocked it. I tapped on the email I had gotten from the lawyer and handed it over to Leo to take a lookI watched as his eyes swept over the phone, his jaw clenching hard as he read the words before handing me back my phoneHis lips curled into a smirk as he muttered inaudible words before turning back to me"We're in this together Tesoro. Kaden Donovan would not lay a hand on my boys," He gritted out the words, leaning closer to me. My breath hitched as I watched him, he shook his head, a smile curling up his lips as he dragged my seatbelt and hooked it up before pulling

[Kaden]"What exactly is going on here?" I snapped, my brow creasing together as I watched the dude take a step back from my wifeCherry opened her mouth to speak but quickly shut it back. I was about to say another word when she quickly beat me to it"Baby, hi...I...you said you're supposed to be in court, I...,""I asked you a question and don't make me repeat myself. What exactly is going on here?" I snapped and she bit down on her lip, taking a step toward me"Baby, meet...meet my cousin's brother, Liam," Cherry said making my brow crease even more"Liam, my husband, you...the one I was just telling you about,""Cousin brother?" I gritted out watching as Cherry took a step back, her lips pressed into a thin line"I'm Liam, your wife's cousin. It's nice to meet you, I've heard so much about you," My eyes shifted from the dude's face to his hand. I blew out a breath and turned back to my wife"What cousin of yours do I not know about?"

[Kaden]The second that gavel slammed down, my jaw clenched so tight it hurt. My eyes darted to the damn judge watching as he rose to his feet and the next second he was making his way out"What the fuck does this old man think he's doing?" My eyes shifted to Tilda and she was already on her feet as they all made their way toward the exitWhat the hell does he need my kids in court for?I blew out a deep breath as Richard walked back to where I was seatedI think I know exactly what to do."Sir, are you...,"I didn't wait for Richard to finish his statement. I rose to my feet and headed for the exitJust why the hell would he postpone the damn thing. Shouldn't he have given me what was expected of him? Full damn custody of my kidsMy heart clenched and for some reason, I felt like relieving this anger before it exploded but just before I could take another step ahead, my legs came to an instant halt as I watched Tilda right in the hallway with her phone pressed firmly against her ear
Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 102 - A win for Kaden?
[Matilda]"Objection overruled. Counsel, you may proceed," the judge said clearly. I lifted my head, locking eyes with Richard, who wore that damn smirk on his face. The tears betrayed me, spilling freely no matter how hard I tried to fight them."Miss Matilda, your ex-husband visited a few days ago and met you in an intimate position with your lover? Then I would have no option but to ask this question—what exactly have these children been exposed to? They're minors. This kind of environment—well, I don't think it’s suitable..."I couldn’t take it anymore "That’s a damn lie," I snapped, my eyes burning red. "And throwing accusations with no proof? That’s not only wrong, it’s unprofessional. Leo is my friend. That’s it. Nothing inappropriate ever happened," I said, choking on my tears.This wasn’t the time to cry. Not for that bastard. Not for someone so vile he’d twist everything just to hurt me. Why the hell would he make all this up?"But is it true or not?" Richard pushed, voice

[Matilda]"Thank you." I had said those words so many times to Sage since we stepped out of the courtroom. But I couldn’t stop myself. I didn’t know how else to show him my gratitude. He’d somehow managed to flip the script and push things slightly in our favor—giving us a breath of air on a battlefield that had nearly suffocated me.Still, I knew better than to think Kaden was done. His lawyer had made it clear, they were still pushing forward. That statement alone had my stomach in knots. Whatever they were planning, it wasn’t going to be light.“We have to head in. The court will be resuming soon,” Sage said, voice cold, not sparing another glance in our direction as he turned and walked awayJulia arrived just minutes before, standing next to me with her arms folded tightly under her chest.“Why’s he acting so cold?” Julia scoffed loudlyI turned to her, my brow knitting together, clearly telling her to shut up. “You don’t expect him to be all smiley, do you? And keep your mouth s

[Kaden]My jaw clenched hard as I watched Matilda walk right out of the courtroom, with that bastard right beside her, fucking holding her handsMy eyes snapped towards her lawyer. Did I underestimate what he was capable of doing?I almost laughed my ass out when he started questioning the witness not until he flipped every dam thing. The fucking whispers behind me, I heard them loud and clear — people calling the witness a liar and how she was trying to frame Matilda upMy eyes shifted to Richard as he made his way back to where we were seated and without sparing him a glance, I stood up and made my way outI tucked my hand into my pocket, walking right to the lot where my car was parked with Richard following behind meI took a deep breath and leaned against my car turning to face him"I hope you have a way to fix this," I drew in a deep breath, my hand curling right into my pocket. "Because you know that losing is not an option. And like I said if you don't pull through consider yo

[Matilda] I couldn't help the tears that rolled down my eyes as I watched Clara on the witness box spilling things that she knew to herself were all lies Have I ever dropped my kids at Clara's house? Of course. But that were a few times when my kids would ask to go over to play with her daughter This woman who was right at the witness box was the only true friend I had in Miami. I wouldn't say we were so close but we were more than just an acquaintance. She was there for me a whole lot of times because Miami was a new city to me when I relocated. and I was new to so many things. I wouldn't deny that she was a very great help to me But what I didn't expect was for her to stand right there and spill out lies about me I wasn't surprised that Kaden would do this kind of thing. This is a man who would go to any length to see me suffer. To see that I shed tears "Counsel for the respondent would you like to cross-examine the witness?" The judge's voice pulled me back to the moment "Yes

[Kaden] "I would love to call forth our first witness. Mrs Clara Williams," Richard called out and I couldn't help how my lips curled into a big smileMy eyes shifted to Tilda and my lips widened even more as I watched the shock on her faceShe's fucking too little to think she can stand against me. I know she would never in her lifetime be expecting her friend from Miami to be here today as a witnessShe was her very good friend from when she arrived in Miami and was almost the only close friend she had over thereWell I could go any length when I want something and she's fucking too small to think she could win against meMy heart clenched as the image of that bastard hugging her a few days ago in her room made its way to my head again. The fucking statement that left her mouth that day.I tilted my neck, shifting my gaze away from her to the main entrance where the red-headed lady was walking in majesticallyI blew out a deep breath, turning my eyes right back at Tilda, and damn t

[Matilda]"Counsel for the respondent, please step forward," the judge called out and my heart pounded loud in my chestThis is truly happeningI held my breath as Sage rose from his seat, his movement smooth and calculated. I blew out a breath, my hand curling tighter, finger digging into my palmThe air was thick with tension as if the courtroom was closing in on me. I was acutely aware of every second. The tap of Sage's polished shoes against the marble floor as he made his way to the front row of the courtroom, standing tall and composedI took a deep breath, watching as he introduced himself, his calm demeanor making me feel a sense of calm for a split secondThe judge nodded as he was done introducing himself, signaling him to proceed"Your Honor," Sage continued.

[Matilda]The soft hum of the car's engine barely registered in my mind as I took a slow deep breath. My heart was trembling and despite my best efforts to stay calm, it still felt like my chest was tightening with every passing second. It was finally the day that had given me a sleepless night for a while now. The day I would be facing Kaden in courtMy jaw clenched as I tried to calm my racing heart. My kids haven't stopped asking about him since the day he left a few days back. He had once called to talk to them but I denied him access, telling him that the kids were asleepI blew out a breath, my eyes shifting to the driver's seat, where Leo was seated with ease, his hand firm on the steering wheel, the other hand gripping the gear tightlyMy hand curled around the hem of my fitted black knee length gown"We're almost there," Leo's voice pulled me out of my daze. I turned my attention to him, watching as his eyes locked into mine before he turned his attention back to the roadI
