Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 26. I want you
Lilian POV He and I were walking down the street next to each other. The afternoons in that neighborhood were very quiet, children played side by side, cars passed along the street, and everyday activity happened everywhere. “Today is a beautiful day,” I commented after a while as Finn and I walked side by side. I could see my house a few feet away, and if I looked toward the porch, I could still see my triplets and Jensen there. Finn wasn't saying anything, he had an expression and looked a little stiff. Was what he had to say to me that worrying? I thought he was going to talk about our ruined date on Friday night, or maybe he was going to say something related to that, so I didn't know how I was going to respond to that since I was already having something with Jensen, something that I still hadn't defined, but it was still something. “Um…” he cleared his throat, looking around, trying to find a way to say what he had to say. At that moment we had stopped on the street fac

Lilian POV “I'm talking about myself, Lilian. You know I love you very much, and I want you so bad...” Finn said it softly and then kissed me right there in the middle of the street. I gasped into the kiss, my thoughts so confused that I couldn't even reciprocate properly. Finn had one hand on the back of my neck and the other on my waist, pulling me closer to him as he deepened the kiss. His mouth on mine was so enveloping, so addictive, that if I hadn't been so confused I would have ended up reciprocating. That was the first kiss he had given me after all these years that we had known each other. He slowly walked away, looking straight into my eyes, his eyes were heavy on mine, full of meanings. “Think about what I told you, okay?” he said to me, and I nodded. “Okay,” I replied, and he gave me one more kiss, but now right on my forehead, with affection and walked away. “See you,” he said, and I waved to him. “Thanks for visiting,” I thanked and then turned to go back to

Lilian POV Jensen sighed, “This time is different, this time I will fight for you, and I won't let anyone take you from me,” he said to me, making me look at him. “For that, you need to have me first,” I told him. “And know that this way you are not having any success.” He looked at me, annoyed. “Why are you saying this? All this because of the kiss the cop guy gave you? I mean, it only took him kissing you for you to change your mind about me so quickly?” He asked, looking like he didn't believe my words. “I'm not talking about Finn, Jensen. I'm talking about us,” I said to him, denying what he was thinking. “If you go to Finn all the time, you forget that you and I still have a relationship to resolve. Finn isn't the problem here, Jensen. The problem is that you and the fact that you easily lose trust in me.” He sighed, looking conflicted. “This is crazy, if I didn't have trust in you, I wouldn't be here. I already told you that I regret doing what I did in the past, I shou

Lilian POV “Lilian Smith speaking. Who is there?” I asked as soon as I answered the call. “Good afternoon, Miss Smith. This is the Shields rental store. How are you spending your Sunday?” The rental car man asked. I knew him, he was a nice guy with a good family. “Oh, we are very well indeed, thank you, Mr. Shields,” I said to him lightly. Everyone in that little town knew each other and was nice to each other. But I couldn't even imagine what the town's rental company was calling my house on an afternoon Sunday. “Oh, it gives me peace of mind to know that you and the children are safe,” the man also said in good humor. “I'm calling you because the local police called me this morning, needing my services to tow a car that was parked in the middle of the road on the way to this town. It's a hard car to find around here, so after a brief investigation, we found the owner of the car and learned that you're close to him. To tell you the truth, my jaw dropped when we found out that
Last Updated : 2024-09-20Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 30. You fascinate me
Lilian POV He was stroking my back slowly and tenderly, expressing his love for me through his body language. My eyes were closed, and I was still sobbing as he and I were still hugging each other in the middle of that small room in my apartment. It was almost impossible not to regret all the time we were apart from each other. If none of that had happened, Jensen would not have stopped being present in my life; he would have attended my pregnancy, he would have been present at the birth of the triplets, and he would not have missed any moment of their lives since day one. It was simply sad the way our history had been blocked and destroyed by vain things and a lack of trust. Jensen Grimes knew he had my heart in his hands, he just had to stop making me so sad. He just had to stop making me cry. At that moment, while we were still hugging each other, we heard a child's crying coming from outside, and my maternal sense began to buzz. "What…?" I babbled, hearing the children's crie

Lilian POV When the kids fell asleep, Jensen and I took them to their room and left them sleeping in their very cute and comfortable beds. I kissed them on the forehead, and then Jensen and I left the children's room without making any noise and went back to the living room. “They must be so tired,” he commented, referring to the soundly sleeping triplets. “Yeah, they use up a lot of energy when they’re playing,” I replied, pouring more wine and going to sit on the couch. Jensen chuckled as he sat down next to me and took the glass I was pouring for him. “To be honest, it's surprising how they don't need much to have fun,” he said, referring to the fact that children are so happy and fun. “As long as we give them love, that's enough for them to be happy,” I said with a little smile, and I sipped my wine. “I see…” He looked somewhat apprehensive now. “Anyway, it would be a dream for me if you let me register them as my children,” he said without looking at me, showing that h
Last Updated : 2024-09-21Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 32. Joy ends in the morning
Lilian POV That night, my love and I engaged in a dance of love so deep that we slept little. I was willing to give everything to him, and he was willing to give everything to me, so we were compatible. In the end, we were both lying on the bed holding each other, caressing each other's bodies, having intimate conversations that only the two of us understood, and sharing unforgettable moments. So I was the first to fall asleep. But the next morning, the loud sound of the state anthem woke me up. It was 7 a.m. on a Monday and the city hall car was passing through the streets of Rustburg singing the anthem and announcing something over the loudspeaker. “Good heavens, what the hell is this?” Jensen cursed, also being woken up by that sound. “It’s just the city hall’s car. Sometimes they do that to announce something,” I told him, unwinding from him since he and I had been sleeping cuddled together since we fell asleep. "Typical. Old-fashioned and sedentary. These are the things

Lilian POV When I left the house that morning, I knew he was behind me, he was calling me as I walked down the stairs, but I didn't want to stop and listen to him, not after what I had just found out about him... “Please, Lilian. Stop there! Wait for me,” he asked, coming after me, but I didn't stop until he held my hand and made me look at him. “Is this how you’re going to treat me now? Why are you treating me like this? What did I do so wrong?” He looked hurt, which was ironic of him since he had just broken my heart yet again. “You baffle me when you still have the guts to ask me that. What did you do, Jensen? Are you really asking me that? Do you really think you did a good thing?” I asked, looking at his brazen face. “Alright, the deal is on its way. But does what I did about my company have to do with how you're treating me now? Wow, Lilian. Is this how we are going to live? One hour of loving each other and another time hating each other? Why can’t we just get back toget

Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 138. Money is Money
JensenThe restaurant was small and discreet, with soft lighting and the unmistakable smell of Italian food wafting through the air. I sat there, my head spinning and my nerves on edge. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the invitation gave me no choice: “I need to talk about Rome. Come alone; let's meet at Mamma Zu.”When she walked in, I couldn't hide the anger that rose in my throat. That red-haired woman. The woman I only knew as the one responsible for making my life hell. I stood up immediately, the table shaking with the impact of my abrupt movement. The other customers in the restaurant looked on curiously, but I didn't care. I just wanted to know what she had to say.I stared at her, not knowing what to feel. The anger, the disgust, everything seemed mixed up inside me. I had no idea how to react, but anger prevailed.“You!” My voice was louder than I wanted, drawing the attention of those at the surrounding tables. “You're the damn woman who destroyed everything!”She didn't
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 137. The beginning of a new love
Sadie POVThe wedding party was incredible. Everything seemed like something out of a fairy tale. The lights, the soft sound of music, people's laughter... It was as if everyone there was having the best day of their lives. I was busy, as always, taking care of the triplets. Ruby, Rory, and Ryan were so excited, running around.“Ms. Lilian, they are running again!" I warned, trying to keep my voice controlled, but she just smiled. “Sadie, you're doing an amazing job. Just relax a little and enjoy the party too, okay?”I nodded but remained attentive. Working for Mrs. Lilian was more than just a job. I liked them like they were my family. But that night, something different happened.As I ran after Ryan, who was trying to reach one of the sweets on the dessert table, I noticed a boy looking at me. He was standing on the other side of the room, with a smile that seemed a little shy and full of curiosity. He wasn't much older than me, maybe my age, or close to it.I felt my face heat up
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 136. It's a wedding party anyway
Lilian POVMy hand instinctively rested on my 9-week-old's belly as I admired the party. The dance floor was an organized chaos. The colored lights flashed over everyone, reflecting on the polished floor, while children ran from side to side, trying to imitate the adults' steps. Ruby led the steps, spinning with a smile of pure joy, and Rory tried hard to follow, imitating everything she did but with exaggerated animation. Ryan, of course, was in his own world, doing acrobatics and improvised dance moves with his arms raised as if he were preparing for a big show. "Ms. Lilian, have you ever thought about signing them up for a dance group?" Sadie commented from beside me, smiling as she watched the three of them. “If I can convince them to rehearse and behave at home, maybe,” I replied, with a soft smile. "Or at least Ryan," Sadie added, watching the boy with an amused expression. "He definitely seems like he has uncontrollable energy." “No doubt,” he said, laughing. "But it's
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 135. April's wedding
Lilian POVI was in the bridal room, holding hands with April, watching her with a look full of affection and admiration. She looked stunning in her wedding dress, with the veil delicately falling over her shoulders and the radiant smile that only she had. I felt a pang in my heart. We were there, together, in that special moment, but there was a touch of melancholy in her words."I really hoped you and Jensen were getting married too," April said, her eyes shining with a mix of joy and sadness. "You know, how we agreed... on Christmas Eve, together... I dreamed about this so much."I knew that the episode in Rome had ruined a lot of what we had planned. All of us, April, Phillip, Jensen and I, had been arguing for years about how much it would mean to get married together, but life had other plans. I wanted to say something to comfort her, but the words didn't come easily. Instead, I hugged her tightly."I know, honey. I know... But you and Phillip are here, and that's what matters r
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 134. This is much better than nothing
Jensen POVIn the last few days, my routine has completely changed. After work, I went straight to Lilian's house. I went there for the kids and also because being there gave me a sense of normalcy that I hadn't felt in years. Something about seeing the three of them running around the room, laughing and fighting, brought me a peace I didn't even know I needed. When I parked that afternoon, Ruby was the first to greet me. She opened the door before I even knocked, as if she knew I was there. "You're here, Daddy!" he exclaimed, jumping into my arms with so much energy that I almost lost my balance. "I'm here, my sunshine," I replied, laughing and lifting her into the air. "How was your day?" "Well... but Rory ate almost all of Mom's cookies, and now she's mad at him." "Really? Is he hiding again?" Ruby nodded with a knowing smile and pointed down the hall. "There in the room. I think he knows what he did wrong." Ryan appeared soon after, crossing his arms like a little ju
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 133. Let's do it again
Kate Nash POVThe door to my house slammed behind me with such force that it made the entrance frame rattle. The sound echoed, accompanying the throbbing in my head. I was on the verge of a breakdown. Jensen had dared to reject me once again, as if I meant nothing. I hurried across the room, throwing my bag on the couch, not caring where it landed. The normally spotless space felt oppressive at that moment. It all felt like a reminder that despite all my effort, nothing was working as it should. The bar was my immediate destination. My hands shook as I reached for the bottle of whiskey. The golden liquid glistened in the lamplight, almost mocking me. "After everything I've done," I muttered as I poured the alcohol into the crystal glass. The feeling of failure was suffocating. From the beginning, my goal was clear: to get Lilian away from Jensen and make sure he finally saw that I was the only one for him. But he remained blind, trapped in a ridiculous idea of morality and loy
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 132. I just want her and no one else
Jensen POVDriving home after talking to Lilian was like going through a storm. My hands on the steering wheel were tense, and my thoughts were a mess. I respected her decision, but that didn't mean it was easy to accept. I still loved Lilian deeply, and the idea that she no longer saw us as a couple cut me to the core. As soon as I got home, I threw my keys on the counter and sat on the couch for a moment, trying to collect my thoughts. Lilian needed space, and I would do whatever it took to give her that. But giving up on her? Never. After a few minutes, I went up to my room. All I wanted was a hot shower and the chance to erase this day from my mind, even if just for a few hours. But as soon as I pushed the door open, I stopped in place, my entire body tense. "Kate?" My voice was low, but filled with disbelief. She was lying on my bed, wearing nothing but red lace lingerie, clearly waiting for me. His smile was calculated, almost predatory. "Hi, Jensen," she said, her voice
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 131. Rome's shadow
Lilian POVThe garden was silent, but my mind was anything but. Jensen was sitting next to me, visibly excited today after my talk with Finn."Good God, that guy doesn't get real, right," he was commenting. "Why doesn't he realize straight away that he's never going to have anything to do with you? You don't even like him, he acts desperate, he even went so far as to lie that he was the father of the baby you're expecting. See if he can do that!" He laughed with a shrug, as if he finally felt like he had the upper hand now."Well, you've also done a lot of crazy things to be able to be with me," I reminded him. Jensen wasn't innocent, right? He had done so much to have me in his control. I still vaguely remembered Rustburg...He was giggling awkwardly now. "You're right, Lilie. I did a lot, yes, but it was all because I always knew you loved me, that's why you never gave up." He looked at me with a charming smile. "That's why to this day I don't give up on you."I sighed, feeling the
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 130. Was it really to protect me?
Lilian POVAfter the children left for school, the house became calmer, but no less tense. Jensen went to the living room, playing on his cell phone, while Finn remained in the kitchen, finishing his coffee. I knew that conversation with Finn couldn't be postponed. The time was now. I took a deep breath before calling him, “Finn, we need to talk. Can it be in private?” He looked up in surprise and hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. “Of course, Lilian.” I led him to the back garden, where the fresh air helped calm my nerves. I leaned against the porch railing as he stood a few steps away, hands in his pockets. “Finn,” I began, choosing my words carefully. “I want to understand why you lied to Jensen about the baby. Why did you say you are the father?” He looked away, clearly uncomfortable. He ran his hand through his hair before answering. “Lilian, I did this to protect you.” "Protect?" My voice was louder than I intended, and I crossed my arms, trying to remain calm.
