Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 67. It's about the emotional connection
Lilian POV When dinner was over, he and I walked hand in hand across the Railroad Bridge while enjoying the beautiful view and the serene evening breeze. At that moment, I ended up thinking about my children. Had the nanny already given them hot milk? Were they sleeping now? I hoped they didn't miss me that much and that everything was going well. Actually, I was just worried as a mom because if something was happening to them, I was sure Sadie would call me immediately. I was even expecting a call from Jensen in case something happened to the kids. Thinking about Jensen gave me little goosebumps because the image of him standing outside the gallery with a big bouquet of flowers while looking at Finn and me kissing kind of tormented me. I wasn't going to deny that I knew that the love he felt for me was real, regardless of everything that happened, what we had was true, not only in the past but also in Rustburg. I knew Jensen loved me, and it would be insensitive of me not to ac

Lilian As Finn drove me to Jensen's mansion, we weren't saying anything the entire trip. Of course, I was a little uncomfortable after what had happened in his apartment. There was no reason why I, as his girlfriend, should have refused to be more intimate with him, but I had refused and asked to go home. Did he hate me now? I thought to myself. Was he thinking the wrong things about me? Good God, I needed a talk with my friend April. I was sure she would help me think more clearly and help me understand myself. It wasn't that I didn't want to go to bed with Finn, he was a man I was attracted to, but being physically attracted to him wasn't enough for me to want to sleep with him. I wanted there to be a stronger feeling than that, I couldn't lie. I really wanted Finn Sawyer to make my heart flutter and set the butterflies in my stomach fluttering, just like Jensen Grimes always did. Likewise, I frowned. I really didn't want to compare the two, but I had to admit to myself that m

Lilian POV “By the way, I thought you would be late. Did something happen on your date with Finn Sawyer?” My ex-husband asked, looking at me, and at that moment, I couldn't answer that question. I mean, why the hell did he keep asking me that question? What did he want me to answer anyway? What, were we supposed to take all that in stride now? I rubbed my head, visibly uncomfortable. “Um, that was pretty good, actually,” I replied, nodding. “We took a walk along the Railroad,” I added, but then regretted doing so. Not because I was in the mood to hide details from him, but because that city was the center where most of Jensen and Lilian's story had been written; that is, Jensen, and I were born and grew up in that city; we learned everything there; we fell in love; we had our first kiss; and most of the good memories we had of our relationship had happened in that city. So places like the Railroad Bridge brought back such intimate and personal memories that we couldn't help

Lilian POV When Jensen Grimes asked me that desperate question, I wasn't able to answer because if I answered, I was sure I would let on how vulnerable I was. So I just stood there. The ambient light in the room was so low that it was difficult to see his face properly, but I could see the tears rolling down his eyes. I wasn't made of iron, I was making a great effort to hold myself back, trying to contain the urge I had to run to him and hug him, wipe the tears from his face, and comfort him. I wanted to do that so much that it hurt. So, with only my silence as an answer, Jensen left the children's room and headed to his room without saying a word. I had clearly rejected him again, but I was making a big effort to keep things the way they were. It was too dangerous; all of it was dangerous. I had to force myself to think about how a mother would act in this situation because of my triplets, those children needed me, they needed me to have a healthy relationship with their fathe

Lilian POV Jensen kept giving me vodka as I asked for it. The two of us sat on the floor in a corner of the room next to the drinks bar and drank while talking about banal things and memories from the past. “Ugh, I already forgot how good this feels,” I commented in a voice slowed by the alcohol. “I had forgotten what it was like to just drink until I lost count.” “Just like we used to do in the past at the parties you threw?” He remembered, and I laughed. “Those parties are totally out of place, but don’t blame me, okay? We were in college, and when we're in college, we feel like the world belongs to us, and we're free to do all kinds of reckless things,” I commented, bringing my glass to my lips to drink some more. I remember we were the most famous couple on campus,” he said, as we had a nostalgic look, reliving those images from our memories. “Everyone wanted to be our friend, and all the guys wanted you.” “Just like all the girls wanted you too,” I told him. “Most of them ap

Lilian POV One moment, Jensen and I were kissing, and the next moment he was walking up the stairs to the top floor, with me in his arms while we were still kissing. The way to my room was so quick that I felt sick when I realized, he was laying me on the bed and getting on top of me while we kissed like two drunk crazy people. “Oh, my God… this is so addictive.” I stuttered with ragged breaths as I felt his mouth kissing my neck and jaw, his hands caressing my back and thighs. That was exactly what I was talking about—this physical and sentimental attraction that I felt for him, that any kiss or any touch from him could completely dismantle me and make me crazy for him. I hated the fact that only he could make me feel like this, but that was a fact, and it was almost impossible to resist. My fingers were looking for the buttons on his pajama shirt to open and undress him because I wanted to have that intimate contact between my hand and his skin, but our actions were not at al

Lilian POV When I woke up the next morning, I thought I had had a very realistic dream—so realistic that I even felt my body hurting. Which left me confused since dreams didn't really make the body hurt in reality. I had dreamed that Jensen and I had made love all night, and now my body was hurting…? I opened my eyes quickly, looking scared. Had that been real? But when I took a look at the bed and saw that I was alone, I realized that it had actually all been a dream and that Jensen Grimes hadn't slept with me the night before. I sighed in silence. I should have been relieved, but there was a hint of sadness that I couldn't understand, maybe it was because of the cold I was feeling. Furthermore, I pulled the blanket off and covered myself, feeling sad and alone. If only that dream had been real, I would have him hugging me now and chasing away the cold. But at that moment, I heard his voice saying, “Holly crap, it’s freezing in here, that window was open all night.” I looke

Lilian POV “I can't believe I actually asked for more children yesterday. I don't know where my head was,” I commented as Jensen and I were still lying in bed, cuddling. The cold was starting to leave us little by little as his body felt so warm and attractive. “You said it was because the triplets were growing up and that you missed taking care of babies,” he said to me. His fingers caressed my back slowly and lazily, sending goosebumps so good on my skin. “Oh my God… so you mean we did it without a condom?” I said it with trepidation. “We were drunk, honey. A condom would have been the last thing we would have thought about using,” he said, and I sighed, nodding. “That's bad… What if I really get pregnant, Jensen?” Good heavens, I already had three children. I had no idea what I would do with more children. Jensen's hand ended up on my belly, where he caressed it. “If you get pregnant, then we will take care of the baby the way it deserves to be taken care of,” he said wi

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

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.
