All Chapters of The Billionaire's Forbidden Obsession: Taming My Son's Ex: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

[Atlas’ POV]The sound of machines beeping is the first thing to break through the darkness I’m in. The second is the pain that radiates through every inch of my body, from the tips of my hair down to my toes.Fuck, I felt like I was hit by a damn Mac truck. What the hell happened?As this thought hits, images of what happened before everything went dark begin to come rushing back, causing my eyes to widen before I’m attempting to shoot up, only to find that my body feels like it weighs a ton.“Careful.”The voice causes my anxiety to build even more as I look at where Tonia sits, looking like a concerned wife.For a moment, neither of us speak as she gives me a hopeful look, and my worry over Avery and Aiden continues to grow.Were they okay? If they were, where are they now?“Disappointed?” Tonia finally asks, giving a smirk. "Sorry, I’m not that young girl that you seem to be obsessed with.”I don’t speak as I continue to take Tonia in, wondering exactly what it was that she was up

[Atlas’ POV] I keep my gaze fixed on Avery, taking in every nuance of emotion that crosses her features as she desperately tries to hide how she truly feels. Maybe if this had been the past, she would have been able to fool me, but I know her well enough now to recognize the signs. “I know that I fucked up by not fully investigating the claim you died, but please allow me to make it up to you,” I continue. “Let me make it up to Aiden as well for missing out on the first four years of his life. Will you please allow me that much?” “I don’t know,” she whispers, trying desperately to remain strong. “What about your father and Tonia? Do you really think they’ll make being together easy? Look what already happened with Aiden!” Tensing, I try to ignore the sudden feeling of guilt and responsibility that flares up in me. “You also feel that Francine wasn’t working alone?” I ask. “Of course,” she sighs, relaxing on the couch and throwing a leg over the other. “She’s pretty bold, but not

[Avery’s POV]I sit on one side of the kitchen table, staring at Atlas while he easily watches Aiden and me together. In a way, it was infuriating that he was so at ease given the situation, but I was learning that was just Atlas.“Why is he still here?” Aiden asks stubbornly, tightening his hold on my neck. “He should leave before Uncle Gregory comes.”Gregory… A feeling of unease begins to build in me as Atlas’ eyes darken and what happened between Gregory and me the previous night begins to appear.Shit, how was I even supposed to explain this to Aiden?“Listen, sweetheart,” I begin, deciding to be as honest as possible. “Uncle Gregory…” Dammit, how to even explain this to a four-year-old who recently voiced his desire to have the man in question be his father?“Is your brother,” Atlas finishes for me, causing Aiden’s eyes to snap to him. “Due to certain circumstances, he has been taking care of you and your mommy in my stead, but he can never be your true father since that positio

TRIGGER WARNING: Some scenes in this chapter may be uncomfortable for some readers. Please read at your own discretion.[Gregory’s POV]I pull into the driveway of my father’s home, where I first saw Avery. I felt that this place was fitting for us to become one since it was where we first met. She probably didn’t know that even back then I had taken an interest in her and couldn’t quite understand why she would give that fucking idiot Connor the time of day.Whatever, it didn’t matter now since she would soon be mine, and then neither Connor nor my father would dare attempt to touch her. Maybe she would hate me at first, but I would take my time making her come around eventually.“How are you feeling?” I ask, fixing my gaze on her in the rearview. Fuck, she looked beautiful laying there on my back seat with her shirt hiked up just enough to give me the perfect view of her stomach. “I hope you aren’t too uncomfortable yet.”Instead of responding, she shoots me a glare that is fucking

[Avery’s POV]I stare up at Atlas’ face, taking in how his features shift as he exerts more and more energy that he clearly doesn’t have. What in the world was he even thinking by doing this anyway?Frustration growing, I look down at the ground, which isn’t that far, and then back up at Atlas. Something needed to be done; otherwise, we were all going to end up falling.Beside me, Gregory began to move his body in an attempt to break free of Atlas’ hold, and the promise caused his hold on me to loosen as well.“Dean,” I hear Atlas hiss from above. “Pull!”As he speaks, Gregory reaches out and grabs me by the hair, attempting to pull me to him once more while I fight to use even my arms.“Dammit,” I hiss, feeling a flare of heat rush through me where his skin touched me. “This has gone on for long enough.”I needed to end this before things got worse, and the only way to do that was to lessen Atlas’ load, but I knew he wouldn’t simply release me or Gregory.Even if Gregory crossed the
